@Douglas Ek you even replied to my original post in which I stated DHA has a precursor lol, just look.

Yes I misunderstood you, I didn't appropriately read your message, which is why I saidI never claimed it could be synthesized in the human body by sugar and protein. I claimed it could be synthesizdd and that DHA is not essential. ALA is and it should be called essential fatty acid and not acids since its only one. I never claimed anyone should avoid PUFA because thats impossible but to minimize them
Sorry for screwing things up!Oh nevermind, you are saying from its plant precursor 18:3. Oops

Lol who knows, but good luck to anyone avoiding it or its precursor while consuming a nutritious diet. Many fruits, have a "good" ratio of n-3 to n-6, oranges are one example, so we cant avoid it even eating just land foods.
Well I understand clarifying specifically that the precursor ALA is the essential nutritional piece of this argument for posterity sake (preventing on lookers from assuming they need fish oil and other nasties) but that doesn't really make the statement "DHA is essential" wrong.
No worries though, I'm informed on the nuances
I agree that ofc it could be essential for life. But in the term of nutritiom when they tend to label something essential like vitamins and minerals they refer to a compound which you need to get from certain food sources or you will get sick. Thats not the case with DHA. They call it essential as in you need to get it from the diet to have any in your body. And i dont like the supplement industry telling people to take fish oil because DHA in it is essential. Thats false marketing. We don't really know if the need of DHA in the body is as big as previously argued and we don't know if the body can synthesize enough of it or not through ALA. Thats another debate. But from what Ive understood theres no conclusive evidence that eating foods with high DHA should have any benefit compared to eating foods with low amounts and ALA etc. I guess if you eat varied meals with 2000-3000 calories per day you are probably getting enough. Then there are studies with pros and cons. Most ray peat stuff are very controversial and opinion based. I have a hard time grasping nitric oxide and how there is so much negative but also so much positive from it. Probably same with these fats. They're good in certain situations. Other ones they do more harm than good. Its never black or white. Usually something inbetween.
Bilirubin can be caused by too much iron, cortisol, inflammation, infection, oxidative stress, liver damage, gut issues, low bile, etc.Bilirubin bit too high chronicle
I think so. Iron makes the bad gut bacteria worse. So maybe you can focus on lowering iron (cilantro, vitamin E, aspirin, vitamin B1, caffeine, hesperidin, cranberry, tetracycline, lactoferrin, etc), lowering gut bacteria (mct oil, coconut oil, methylene blue + iodine + red light, vinegar, carrot salad, activated charcoal, etc.) and increasing bile flow with caffeine, taurine, ox bile, etc.@Salmonamb
Thanks! So you think low bile production is the main issue?
I have E. coli and Klebsiella overgrowth in the gut too.
My iron is pretty high. Ferritin and transferrin are good.
My zinc and copper are always low even when I supplement it.
I just posted something about “tensional integrity”. I think that post may be for you. I have had a similar cracking and popping most of my life. It is nearly completely resolved, but it does take work. The popping is likely related to improperly laid collagen formations.
Here it is @Lejeboca:Would you care to insert in this thread a reference to your post on “tensional integrity”? Thank you.

This will lower inflammation improve mineral status, such as zinc and copper, and increase ceruloplasmin levels.
What do you eat daily?I'm doing a lot of this, but no improvement unfortunately. Will keep doing it and maybe add a bit Taurin but it gives me histamine issues.
