Hi R.B. thanks for your answer but..
1)
"COX 2 products are made on demand as a result of requests received as chemical messengers triggered by a perceived need for inflammatory chemicals "
Do yo know if the demand you refer to above are made ONLY by omega 6 and omega 3 oils ? i.e anything else triggers Cox2 production (chemical messager is the rather vague since all functions in our body are in effect triggered by chemical messages)
2)
"Omega 3 also uses COX2 to make its own products [..]
DHA also block the COX2 Omega 6 production line."
Would it be that omega 3 simply 'goes first' and Cox2 activity for omega6 will resume once the omega3 has been transformed. In which case taking more omega3 is not the answer (for downregulation of Co2x) but in fact limiting omega6 is.
3)
What is the omega3 product transformed into using Cox2? something not inflamatory unlike the omega6?
Many thanks R.B.
