[fast5] Re: Back to IF -- I think

Hi Barnaby-

I tend to stock my freezer with grass fed beef from a local rancher. I've had several e-mail exchanges with Professor Peskin and he says as long as some of my meat is raw (inside) I'm getting all of the omega 3's and unadultrated omega 6's I need. Though heat does easily damage O6. But on the days I cook ground beef, I usually use 2 tsp cold pressed, organic, raw, safflower or hemp oil for the O6 and 1 tsp cold pressed, organic, raw flax seed oil. I get them from the local Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or my local co-op. They have to be cold pressed, raw, and organic- generally in the refrigerated section. Whole Food's 365 brand is usually pretty good and not too expensive. On days when I can't stand the thought of choking down the hemp seed oil and I eat a bowl of fully cooked ground beef, I have a small supply of raw, organic pumkin seeds. Ten grams of raw pumkin seeds can provide the O6 and O3 that you need for a full day. One page I read that sort of lays it out pretty concisely can be found here:

http://www.greenhealthwatch.com/newsstories/newslatest/latest0701/omega-3-overdosing.html

"If you want to get your PEFAs from food, (liquids) five grams of organic, cold-pressed, high linoleic sesame oil plus two grams of organic, cold-pressed flaxseed oil a day, or (solids) 10gm of raw, organic pumpkin seeds a day should do the job. "

At my Mom's neurologist today, I asked him if he had any other ideas of non-prescription item which could help them, as the earlier recommendation of St. John's wort (anti-depressant) had been a great help for an inexpensive herbal product. He recommended that I give them a T of coconut oil every day and seemed to be very enlightened to recommend something beyond the the pricey alzheimer's drugs of Namenda and Exelon Patch and then gave me 5 weeks of Patch samples.
