Iris from Denmark has generously donated an hour of her consulting time with me to you, the community, so that her case can be used to raise awareness of the importance of arachidonic acid and the pitfalls of getting too much EPA.
In this video, we cover:
00:27 Iris's history of too much omega-3 and not enough omega-6.
01:52 The symptoms that have improved upon reversing this.
04:54 Is it correct that the body needs both arachidonic acid and DHA to resolve inflammation?
09:03 How to navigate this during pregnancy, where DHA and AA are both important for the baby but EPA is still a concern?
14:06 Does the body have a storage supply of omega-3?
18:00 What is more important, AA/EPA balance or total PUFA intake? What is more harmful, signaling compound imbalance, oxidative damage, or membrane fluidity distortion?
31:05 Is the proper strategy supplementing AA while reducing EPA, or is it getting more vitamin E?
33:30 What about the ratio of PUFA to saturated fat or total fat?
35:55 Vitamin E cannot protect against all the risks of PUFA. Here are the other things that matter.
41:50 Supporting the marine ecology.
Thank you Chris, I love the video! :-D <3 Such a great help, and even better than I had dreamed of. Hope others follow the example of having you publicly answer questions and share their stories of healing, and I hope it helps a lot of other people out there, as I imagine that a lot of people dont eat liver, and seldom eat eggs, and have been supplementing with omega 3, for a long time!
Yes, I totally wasn’t meaning it in a preaching sort of way. It is very hard to accept struggle in our lives, and to see why we deal with it. I have learned to see how good can come from it, and how it is often used to bring good in others lives as well. Totally came from a good heart! May you continue to heal and be blessed with children!! ❤️
