> Ray, I'm very sorry. I didn't know that. I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about this. Please accept my apology. If you mentioned this before, I didn't see it, or don't recall it. All my opinions have been expressed under the assumptions that generally hold true. I didn't know you were the exception. How did you find out about the glutathione problem? And isn't IL-1 a response to oxidative stressors?That's OK Larry! The gene tests were from great smokies - I do have a couple of glutathione genes but have one that is a null gene.
Yes oxidative stress is a major factor in Il-1 release and as you say, PLA2 is a big problem - I do take max DHA by Jarrow, but some research says that pure EPA is a better inhibitor of PLA2.
I'm interested in the caspases, that are releasing enzymes for the interleukins, and how mitochondrial damage can set neuronal apoptosis into action - interestingly, glutathione and creatine, inhibit caspases.
Got to go to work now, so will reply more in full later - thanks for your concern!! hope you didn't lose too much sleep!!!
