fatty acids (evening primrose)

[Guest guest]

We could have an on-line seminar on this one. I have MS as well as

cf, and Evening Primrose oil or its essential fatty acids are being used

increasingly. Now, where is that Internet Explorer Launch?

Thank you, !

hi all

can i ask why people dont use evening primose oil? If there is a problem in Cf

with the delta6 deasturase enzyme then why dont we skip past that and give

gammalinolenicn acid, you increase the low levels of linolenicn acid and it

converts to prostaglandin E1 which are the ones we want(antiinflammatory, etc)

You just need to have adequate Vit C and B3 in the body.

Delta 6 desaturase enzymes inhibitors

trans fatty acids(Margarines, reheated oils, macdonalds etc)

Hormones released by adrenals during stress

Alpha-linolenic acid found in soy and linseed oils (thought this was very

interesting)

Simple carbohydrates that produce rapid rise in blood sugars

alcohol

I know that when my natropath suggested Liam go on evening primose I didnt want

to, being scared to increase omega 6 and no 3. Anyway he gained so much weight

during that time. I have taken him off it and know he is gaining slowly again.

I will put him back on 3 a week of 500mg. I actaully have found a book on

evening primose and it talks about CF and the benifits.

Do many people with CF have asthma, eczema and allergies?? These all the same

common factor of a faulty desaturase 6 enzymes but in CF it is alot worse. If a

CF child showed up these symptoms it would suggest wrong balance of fatty acids

in the body

Any thoughts on all of this

mum to Liam 8 1/2 months old and a little charmer, I'm sure he wont have

trouble turning heads.

my husband came up to me the other day and said " everyone says Liam looks

so handsome and looks like me, so what they are really saying is that I'm a good

looking guy. I just laughed and agreed, I couldnt very well say anything else.

Hi

I'm not sure about the evening primrose oil, but I do know this, lots of CFers

have asthma and allergies, too. Many times those who are misdiagnosed are

diagnosed as having asthma and allergies, not CF. I am not sure about the

eczema though.
