Re: Are abnormal fatty acids in plasma significant?

[Guest guest]

What was the purpose of doing this test? What were they trying to diagnose or

prove?

From what I am reading, they are basing the idea that abnormal fatty acid levels

create/cause disease, and that by correcting them, you can prevent/treat the

disease. They use this test to diagnose deficiencies in fatty acids. In which

case, the stuff over that is above ranges would not be deficiencies. Only the

things low, maybe that is why he was not concerned.

The only thing that came in low was GLA. BUT I have no idea where they came up

with the ranges and if they are based upon normal people..and what constitutes

" normal people " these days.

Nor the significance of such a test in treating mercury toxicity. As far as I

can see, it has little value for this purpose.

Someone with mercury toxicity is going to need EFA's regardless of the test.

They have depression, they need EFA's.

I have never heard of a doctor doing this test as part of a standard check up.

--- perhaps the child doesnt process the fatty acids. Have they done carnitine

and free carnitine levels?In , " leonardstengel "

I wouldn't suggest the general fatty acid tests to anyone unless you

really know the lab concerned. The converting enzymes, in particular

PLA2, is active right down to minus 80 degrees centigrade so unless the

lab is au fait and freezes the sample accordingly, the results may be

faulty.
