Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I actually think there is a place for n3 fatty acids in nutrition and health but I still think that is an area that is over " hyped " . Alot of what you read about fish oils talk about suppression of inflammation via PLA2 - for me Im more interested in getting to the root of the inflammation and reversing this! Over the last year I have more and more respect for Glutathiones role in health and Im now exploring the different ways it can be boosted ie Whey protein Isolate Turmeric Selenium Milk Thistle Vitamin C , magnesium , zinc.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 The root of it as you say could just be in some people a lack of N3 fatty acids. How much fish do most people, especially in the US, eat? Not much is my guess, especially with concerns over mercury and other toxicity issues, and the artificial colors added to farmed fish. I'm with you -- I always have believed there is a reason or cause or causes for everything. In some cases, they could be dietary. Dan p.s. As an example, there's a book written by Bartosy, on how he recovered from CFS. He did some antibiotics for an infection, but his health didn't improved until he raised, slowly but surely, his EFA levels. He has been well for over 6 years now. A web search will turn up his story and his book is available as far as I know... > > I actually think there is a place for n3 fatty acids in nutrition and health > but I still think that is an area that is over " hyped " .

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have been down the Essential fatty acid root before and know some guys who worked closely with Dr Horrobin - but it isnt the answer as it may help to lower PLA2 but will not get to the root. The root cause of CFS for me - is Glutathione depletion - Im very surprised people havent focused on raising Glutathione on a daily basis. CS, I went down the essential fatty acids route too, spent a year diligently supplementing, reading Horribins work, I do remember Bartosy, and all the others in that EFA camp. It did nothing to cure my cfs, later when I was tested for EFA's I was waaaay toooo high from all the supplementing and come to find out later, other tests show I can't even burn fatty acids anyway. So supplementing can get one in trouble too, everything we take is not always 'harmless'. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have raised my glutathione status for over 2 years now and now have normal levels but it hasn't really helped my condition much at all. Killing borreliababesia is the only thing that seems to make a difference to me. Though I think the glutathione is supportive in this process at least Re: Re: No evidence oily fish have health benefits, study... > > I have been down the Essential fatty acid root before and know some guys > who > worked closely with Dr Horrobin - but it isnt the answer as it may help to > lower PLA2 but will not get to the root.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi I do feel Horrobins contribution and Udos works on EFA's have been essential though and i include some flax and seseme seed oil into my diet alongside my other supps.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi I have looked into different pathways to raise my glutathione and this is where my condition has turned a corner rapidly ie besides Whey protein isolate ( 12 months ) , Ive now added turmeric ( this was the turning point ) , Vit C , magnesium, zinc and I will be adding -Selenium and Milk thistle.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 here's another place testing was valuable for me, I came back WAAAY too high in the flax, they rec. I never take flax based on my EFA testing. Marcia Re: Re: No evidence oily fish have health benefits, study...

" Marcia ****Hi Apart from the obvious ie boosting glutathione, killing off pathogens, improving adrenals and improving gut function. Plain butter and olive oil seems to have worked best - I have my own ideas why this is. Regards CS My Regime ( as a maintenance I use : 1, 4, 5) 1) HEAVY METALS & THYROID - Raise Glutathione via Whey Protein Isolate, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc, Turmeric, Garlic, Milk thistle, Selenium 2) PARASITES/FUNGAL/BACTERIAL - Lactoferrin / Coconut oil / Manuka Honey 3) ADRENALS - Salt / Licorice 4) DIGESTION - Probiotics with Citrus Pectin / Bromelain enzyme 5) NUTRITION - Plant extract antioxidants / Plant extract detox/ Co Q10 / Multi vits DIET - no wheat/ limited dairy / limited fruits / Butter/ Sunflower seeds / Green Veggies / Salad/ Rice / Yoghurt / Plant extracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
