Howdy everyone. Like the title states, what would be a good supplement or food that blocks prostaglandin production by the Thymus gland? I have a 18 years old relative who suffers from an anxiety - BPD related chest sensation, like a big spill on his chest. which is associated with a reaction in his mind that makes him feel very uncomfortable, agitated and anxious. The cause is his Thymus gland, which sits in the middle of the chest in between the lungs, making prostaglandins which cause inflammation in the nearby tissues of the chest. The Thymus does this in response to anxiety and a mind that cannot process emotions properly.
Giving him cheap coconut oil with trans fats actually makes his chest sensation go away, as the transfats in cheap coconut oil are known to block prostaglandin production.

He is not Peating currently, and we're more interested in a specific advice for his ailment only for now.
The cheap coconut oil gave him acne in the face, he claims, that is why we're looking for a substitute.
The person on this forum who adviced us the cheap coconut oil also adviced vitamin E and aspirin - caffeine pill. But we're wary of aspirin because I have read a thread on either here or Peatarian in which someone argued that Ray Peat's receded hairline along with thinnish hair was linked to the biological effects of aspirin. He's very conscious of his own appearance so this is something which we see as risky as he wouldn't like his hairline to recede.
The vitamin E is something we gave my relative, 400 IU but which made him very agitated and agressive in the following days so that is something we're also wary of. Take in mind that my relative is a physically healthy, muscular and tall young man, with a past of agressiveness, temperamental, hotheadedness, tendency to easily argue and argue heatedly, and problematic behavior, ever since he was a toddler. This made him stand out from other toddlers, and he also had a speech impediment as a toddler. (He couldn't pronounce the letter K, and instead said the letter T) later this speech impediment dissapeared. Both the behavioral problems and speech impediment stayed till the age of 9. The behavioral problems have persisted ever since.
I am uncertain if caffeine blocks prostaglandin production. Sugar and syrup also helped block Thymus degradation associated with the chest sensation which eases it a bit but on their own they're not effective enough throughout the day to block the chest sensation as a whole.
I hope somebody can help!
Thank you.
