    Blocking PUFA metabolism may treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

    The disease ALS needs no introduction. It is perhaps the most dreaded disease in current/former athletes as it is currently considered incurable, invariably lethal, and is known to strike athletes in much higher rates than the general population. Medicine claims that about 10% of the ALS cases...

    PUFA metabolites may trigger diabetes type I

    Type I diabetes is known as an autoimmune condition. Namely, for some "unknown" reason(s) the beta-cells of the pancreas get attacked by the immune system and over time this leads to their destruction and inability to produce insulin. Of course, no such thing as an "autoimmune" disease exists...

    Blocking PUFA metabolism therapeutic for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

    The rates of MS have been steadily rising over the last several decades. While mainstream medicine claims the cause is "unknown", it is well known that it has an almost perfect inverse association with sunshine exposure, vitamin D levels, aspirin usage, histamine blockers, etc. This suggest an...

    PUFA (metabolites) Drive Heart Failure And Possibly Diabetes

    Over the years I have posted a number of studies on the roles of PUFA metabolites such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes in many chronic conditions including cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson, ALS, MS, CVD, etc. For those that are new to this issue, COX enzymes are responsible for prostaglandin...

    Blocking PUFA Metabolism May Reverse Alzheimer Disease (AD)

    I posted a few studied showing PUFA and its metabolites are strongly involved in AD and brain aging in general. Increased Pufa Oxidation May Be Biomarker For Alzheimers Blocking Inflammation From PUFA Reverses Brain Aging The second link above discussed specifically the inhibition of the...
