Another bad thing.

Treated with drugs and PUFA's, GLA and AA.

Hi JW:

This raises the very big issue of how to maintain the effectiveness

of one's immune system with age. Antioxidants may help against

cancer and heart disease. But what can be done to help against

infections? Does anyone know of any studies that can help illuminate

this issue? Septicemia is ranked tenth on the US list of causes of

death. And flu/pneumonia seventh.

I saw recently that a one-time vaccination against pneumonia is

recommended for everyone over age 65. Any other suggestions?

Rodney.

You may outlive other diseases, but you won't outlive pneumonia, IMO. That's what the oldies die of. Pneum is characterized by the lack of the ability to absorb fluid in the lungs. Don't even know what the medical term is to describe that characteristic.

Never found a lot on that subject. The heart does not "suck" the fluid out.

Septicemia is what likely happens if it's not pumped/drained out. At some point, they let you die, because "that's the way it is". Just my observation.

The interesting thing in this article is that GLA and AA which are derived from LA, are used to assist the antibiotics. I recall one article that GLA would raise PGE1, lower PGE2, LTB4 and LTC4, which is contrary to Calder's biochem in "Fatty acids and lymphocyte functions", pg s37.
