PS: Dean - Your KIM Omega 6 long ratio is ~ 69 % and I doubt either you or

will ever get a good ratio as long as

your Omega 9 levels are so high. I also feel your high Nervonic level is due to

flooding the Omega 9 pathway with way

too much Oleic (18:1w9) oil.

What did your GSDL analysis say about your levels?
