What do you mean a "pre-cursor"???

HI Unregistered,

Yes you are right this is a half finished sentence presuming knowledge, and not very clear.

Sorry I was in a rush.

COX2 is an enzyme which is used to make two separate families of chemicals one from long chain omega 6 fat and one from omega 3 fat.

The omega six chemicals produced are in very general terms inflammatory.

An imbalance of Omega 3 and 6 with excess of Omega 6 arguably leads to inflammatory pressures in the body.

In the sense omega 6 is a raw material of inflammatory chemicals it is a precursor - less raw material = less product.

There is more information in the Greek Diet thread which is primarily about omega 3 and 6.

Hi,
Thanks for the compliment. I created and manage the sites listed below my name if those are the ones you mean. Websites are alot of work and I have a few others, so it is always a challenge to keep them updated. Some supplements interact in a negative way with conventional medicine and some supplements enhance conventional medicine. My naturopath has testing equipment to sort it all out and my M. D. is willing to cooperate with my naturopath, so I am pretty lucky. The only thing I know about cox 2 is what my naturopath told me. He said there was some research to decide if cox 2 inhibitors can clear away a kind of "smoke screen" that cancer creates around itself as a protective messure. I guess if cox 2 inhibitors can clear away the "smoke screen" the chemo might work better.
I read that omega 3 is healthier than omega 6. I have to study the rest.
