There is no question that omega three and six play a part in mediating inflamatory disease.

Please see posts on omega three and six, Greek diet etc.

Curcumin is an "COX" inhibitor of some sort.

Flax seed provides ALA the mother omega three fat.

Flax seed provides weak phyto oestrogens.

Whilst there are many trials and much argument that the above factors can assisit in inflamatory based conditions sufficiently wide trials based on blood tests tissue samples have no been done, and proabably wont be until they are funded by governments. There is no profit in the above for the drugs industry.

There is increasing interest in fats and disease in the medical profession, but we are back to the human dynamic the way the percieved knowledge changes etc.

The medical advisors you refer to might be interested in the links included in the Greek diet post which provides some of the research on the subject of omega three, six and BC.

I am always pleased for anybody who has beaten the odds.

Anybody considering significant dietary change should discuss it with their medical advisors.
