Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Hi Greg It seems(according to Dr Raymond of KKI) that EPA's are contraindicated in PBD's, as it interferes with the formation of platelets, which are themselves necessary to blood clotting. That is why he distinguishes between Martek's DHA and over the counter DHA which is high in EPA's. Any suggestions or comments. You recommended EPA's, which is why I thought to comment on this.

I'm not taking about mega dosing with EPA, but giving a dose which, using the red blood cell membrane fatty acid analysis, is designed to improve the total fatty acid membrane balance and thus reduce the amount of very long chain unwanted fatty acids (which are causing the clotting problems) while balancing Omega 6 DGLA, Omega 6 AA, Omega 3 EPA and Omega 3 DHA. By feeding individually adjusted amounts of there fatty acids together, you should reduce or eliminate spillover into the unwanted very long chain guys and get better membrane fatty acid balance. Using oils with elements of each will not work as you need to adjust the individual amounts according to the data feedback from the membrane fatty acid analysis. This will allow you to observe what to too high and adjust the dose downward as likewise you can see what is too low and give more. ======================== Good Health & Long Life, Greg Watson, gowatson USDA database (food breakdown) http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ PubMed (research papers) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi DWIDP (nutrient analysis) http://www.walford.com/dwdemo/dw2b63demo.exe KIM (omega analysis) http://ods.od.nih.gov/eicosanoids/KIM_Install.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
