Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I agree - skimmed this, does look interesting - ummm, not up to focused reading this minute ... I do think Lipid Metabolism is huge. Gargantuan - and pretty much connected to Everything. For me, it is the bigger connection to mercury toxicity, as mercury targets the fatty acids, chews the heck out of em. (pretty sure I remember that idea correctly, ug) It feels like it does not matter what I look into, whether it is a tangent on diseases, toxicities, things like lectins or phytic acid, misc pond scums, or whatever. I will end up back at fatty acid metabolism, as a major connection...I have spent a large amount of time, trying to " absorb " the lipid metabolism ideas, as I believe they are huge, maybe the most important, piece of our myriad puzzle, ummmm, to " whip into shape " of a sorts...including the " dumping " factor - a couple of us still seem to be dealing with this issue too often, at our house, urg - an idea which I believe I did catch in this post, while skimming it...wishing you the best answers, elizabeth > > I found this fascinating.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 So is this saying that if you take too much flax oil it hurts things? I have always read that flax oil is helpful to the liver. This is something I may have to read a few times to fully process. My liver problem (I believe is related to my son's ASD) is baffeling doctors, but they feel that something is going on in the bile ducts. Of course that is the best guess they have come up and recommend I go to the MAYO clinic for exploratory surgery to " see if they can find anything that is causing the enzymes to be elevated so high " I think when we figure out that OR the ASD answer the other will make sense too. > From: sunrose101@... <sunrose101@...> > Subject: [ ] speaking of oil/fats > > Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 11:55 AM > I found this fascinating.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Jenifer, I haven't read this whole thread, but just to let you know... I had elevated liver enzymes for some time and one thing that was really helpful was olive oil. One day I couldn't resist the craving for it and over the next week or two I basically drank 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil a few times a day. It did wonders for the way I felt and the enzymes went down to almost normal range within a couple months. I did do other things like milk thistle and magnesium and lots of water, but I do think the olive oil was beneficial. I no longer crave it (which is a good thing). > > > From: sunrose101@... <sunrose101@...> > > Subject: [ ] speaking of oil/fats > > > > Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 11:55 AM > > I found this fascinating.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I know that everything I read that is good to take, has the basic anti- oxidants shining through as a benefit one way or another. I seem to add certain supplements as I have specific needs come up, but the basic anti-oxidants are the foundation. Guess I will be taking A, E, C, B Comp and Mineral regardless of everything else.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 > So is this saying that if you take too much flax oil it hurts things? My son had mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, I had to preload with Omega 6 [i used evening primrose oil] before giving Omega 3 [fish oil]. Once my son was done with EPO, I did have to move to flax before I could give fish oil. He was on flax oil for several months, with good results, but when he no longer needed flax and I needed to move him to fish oil, the flax oil did start to cause problems.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 That's interesting. I saw a programme on British TV this past month where a man in Morocco, living as a bedouin drank half a glass of pure olive oil daily for breakfast. He looked very healthy to me :-)) However, I'm sure you have to have good fat digestion otherwise it would run out the bottom.......:-)) panderson14me schrieb: > > Hi Jenifer, I haven't read this whole thread, but just to let you > know... > > I had elevated liver enzymes for some time and one thing that was > really helpful was olive oil.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 > > So is this saying that if you take too much flax oil it hurts things? I have always read that flax oil is helpful to the liver. This is something I may have to read a few times to fully process. > > My liver problem (I believe is related to my son's ASD) is baffeling doctors, but they feel that something is going on in the bile ducts. Of course that is the best guess they have come up and recommend I go to the MAYO clinic for exploratory surgery to " see if they can find anything that is causing the enzymes to be elevated so high " I think when we figure out that OR the ASD answer the other will make sense too. > > For me, getting rid of toxic household cleaners, particle board or MDF furniture and other sources of toxins like that in my environment helped take stress off my liver. I also took milk thistle for maybe a couple of years, maybe less than that. I don't remember exactly how long. As we got rid of the toxic crap in our environment, my two son's ASD traits got less severe as well. For me and my sons, coconut oil and organic butter were the key healthy fats/oils that helped. I recently added olive oil back into my diet. I have found that eliminating problem fats and getting enough healthy fats makes a huge difference. Some oils I stay away from: canola oil, peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil. Peanut oil is high in arachidonic acid. Andy mentioned that and it was an AHA! moment for me. I had given up peanuts and peanut oil about 3 years ago and have done better since. I thought it was some kind of allergy. I have done some looking into arachidonic acid and that is beginning to make sense of a number of other things as well. Good luck with this.
