Re: Fat, Fatty Acids, Fat Utiliization

[Guest guest]

Hi, pawpurr256,

The issue you raise re: organic fats and " screwed up fatty acid

profiles " seems to be one that affects many people. I'd suggest a

Google search on: cAMP and lipolysis (the breakdown or " digestion " of fats.

cAMP appears to be an extremely important cell messenger compound that

regulates the rate of cell growth, the release of histamine and plays a

role in the breakdown of fats. A herb, called forskolin or Coleus

Forskohlii is known to activate the enzyme adenylate cylclase that forms

cyclic AMP within cells.

" Forskolin is shown to exert a 6- to 400-fold increase in levels of cAMP

The plant is native to India, where a long history of use includes

supporting cardiovascular, respiratory, kidney, and nervous system

function. It is said to increase the memory of cells. " (taken from one

of many websites on Forskolin)

From what I've read on the subject so far, it seems that if you don't

have enough cAMP, you can't handle fat very well. Increase cAMP and fat

metabolism will improve sez the research. Forskolin is now sold as a

weight loss supplement because of this fat digestion-cAMP increasing

effect. But increasing cAMP seems to have a lot of other benefits as

well. Worth looking into I think. There are a few other foods/herbs

that increase cAMP, notably Schizandra and Ginger. Oh yeah, and good

old fashioned physical exercise also increases cAMP.

Best,

Colin Yardley

Hi Colin,

I appreciate your information about Forskolin and cAMP. I'll look

into both. If what you say is true, I only wish I could increase

cAMP the natural way, exercise, but feeding and dressing myself is

about as much physical exertion as I can muster in a day, and on a

bad day not even the latter. Thanks for sharing.

Trish,

Where did you get a fatty acid profile done? Something I would definitely like

to do if it's not too expensive.

Thanks,

I did the BodyBio tests -- supposedly the " cadillac " of fatty acid

profiles. It takes about 8 weeks to get the results, which run 30-

40 pages (including both the patient and doctor versions of it).

Unfortunately, it's not a cheap test/s. Here's the link for more

info (btw, I did both tests).
