Perhaps some of us just don't respond to your messages - like me. But I agree wholeheartedly with you on balancing the Omega 3 with Omega 6. I feel that this is one pathway to try to block in order to not only prevent a recurrence but also (very importantly) to prevent a new primary. There are a few pathways that interest me - Cox 2 (were the 6/3 balance comes in). I also take a full strength aspirin a day for this as well - I have to be careful as I take fish oil and cod liver oil (which also thin the blood but....). I also feel strongly about glycemic index and the insulin (IG) pathways so I exercise (walk and run - sometimes an exercise tape but mostly aerobic exercise) and watch what I eat (besides 6/3 ratio). No fruit alone, grains, veggies - I will occassionally use butter but oil wise - only extra virgin olive and canola (if I need an oil that can take more heat).

I also take extra D to downregulate cyclin D1 and hopefully more fully activate the FAS receptors and some maitake to activate Pten if I happen to have it and it is in an inactive state.

I really do appreciate your contributions to this website.

Sincerely

Becky
