Re: OT Evening Primrose Oil (EPO)

[Guest guest]

Gabi, Dr. Lawrence is not a big fan of evening primrose oil either.

Last year I became quite itchy and he suggested that I cut down. I did

and the itching disappeared.

Omega 3 and omega 6 can be taken in extremely large doses as long as they are balanced and taken with vitamin E always as to prevent free radical damage. Also, fish oils should be refrigerated. Fish oil is one of the best things you can take for any problem. They underrate its effectiveness and safety. Best, Kathy

[low dose naltrexone] OT Evening Primrose Oil (EPO)

I was just reading the info on the LDN Research Trust web-site and Icame across an article about omega 3, 6, 9 written by Dr TomGilhooly. In this article he mentions Evening Primrose oil and Iknow that some here take that religiously. According to him it has alot of bad omega 6 in it and should only be taken in very smallamounts. I know that all of this nutrition info is hard to grasp, atleast it is for me. I just read the other day that you should nottake your fish oil and your multivitamin at the same time because ofa limited absorption issue. So I guess I have been doing that wrongfor the last 9 months! Oh well, you live and you learn.Here is part of the article about the EPO:"The other side of the coin is that omega 6 intake has to be reducedas much as possible, since this fat in the cell membrane promotesthe development of inflammatory hormones and the damage we areseeking to limit and avoid."What are the sources of omega 6? It will come as a surprise thatone source of omega 6 is Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), a supplementoften promoted for the treatment of MS. A small amount of this isbeneficial due to GLA ( Gamma Linolenic Acid) content which can beconverted into anti-inflammatory hormones. However, just as alcoholis beneficial in low doses and harmful in excess, EPO can also beharmful. The doses of EPO usually taken by MS patients are far inexcess of the optimal dose and is in fact promoting inflammation anddamage. ""Omega 6 is also found in vegetable oils such as sunflower, soy andsafflower oil. These are more and more commonly used by the foodindustry; the use of soy oil in the US has increased 1,000 fold inthe past 100 years. Sunflower seeds are commonly taken as a healthsupplement by MS patients and others who do not realise they aremaking their condition worse."www.ldnresearchtrust.org -> Discussion Forum -> Delta 5 Diet ->omega balance in MSGabi
