AA/EPA ratio and Omega Rx book

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if the information from Dr. Sears about fats is

true? He has developed a " pharmaceutical grade " fish oil so people

can take high amounts of it without ingesting toxins, to reduce

inflammation and improve everything from fibromyalgia to MS to

Alzheimers. I don't disagree with that but then he says that eating

saturated fats is bad because the arachidonic acid gets converted to

Omega 6 oils which cause inflammation and thus chronic disease. This

goes contrary to the Weston A. Price information which says that

saturated fats are good and necessary. Also, he says you can measure

your health by measuring your arachidonic acid/EPA blood plasma

ratio.

I try to follow the " Sally Fallon diet " , eating organic meats, fish,

vegetables, fruits, coconut oil, olive oil, butter and minimal grain

and dairy (don't tolerate dairy and too hard to get raw dairy in

this state). I'm wondering if I should try the pharmaceutical grade

fish oil and if I should get the AA/EPA blood test. And why does Dr.

Sears say saturated fat causes inflammation and is bad?
