Inflammatory Remarks About Arachidonic Acid

I found a 9700 word article on essential fatty acids, and one stands out as in opposition to this video, here it is: Arachidonic Acid Deficiency• Dry, scaly, and itching skin• Hair loss• Dandruff• Reproductive difficulties in both males and females• Gastrointestinal disturbances• Food intolerances• Kidney disease• Inability to maintain weight• Poor immunity• Poor growth• Inflammation” I have been long on omega 3 and low on omega 6, which is unusual since it’s most often the other way around, and I have most of the symptoms listed above. Insofar as going vegetarian, been there, done that and the results were devastating. Here is how it is, if Vegan diets make you happy, healthy and strong, go for it, and the same with vegetarian, omnivorous and carnivorous. However, it would be impossible to survive in Alaska or the Arctic on a vegetarian died, and the same for about 1000 miles due south. Where the vegetarian idea came from is kind of like where Mormonism came from, an idea popped into someone’s head and in vegetarians it was India. Why? Animal protection mostly, but many vegetarians ate fish, in India many eat diary, and so forth. But this arachidonic acid thing is the main focus. How many sources, supposedly science or medical based say too little arachidonic acid is harmful? Many. too many to count. The idea that one should sustain from such fatty acids is dangerous. Here’s something from Charles Darwin, in The Voyage of the Beagle, wrote: We were here able to buy some biscuit. I had now been several days without tasting any thing besides meat: I did not at all dislike this new regimen; but I felt as if it would only have agreed with me with hard exercise. I have heard that patients in England, when desired to confine themselves exclusively to an animal diet, even with the hope of life before their eyes, have hardly been able to endure it. Yet the Gaucho in the Pampas, for months together, touches nothing but beef. But they eat, I observe, a very large proportion of fat, which is of a less animalized nature; and they particularly dislike dry meat, such as that of the Agouti. Dr. Richardson, also, has remarked, “that when people have fed for a long time solely upon lean animal food, the desire for fat becomes so insatiable, that they can consume a large quantity of unmixed and even oily fat without nausea:” this appears to me a curious physiological fact. It is, perhaps, from their meat regimen that the Gauchos, like other carnivorous animals, can abstain long from food. I was told that at Tandeel, some troops voluntarily pursued a party of Indians for three days, without eating or drinking.[5]

In more recent times, it appears probable that Christopher McCandless, subject of the 1996 book—and later film—Into the Wild died of rabbit starvation. The point being, eat lard, some butter, olive oil in small quantities, flax seed oil in even smaller quantities, coconut oil, red palm oil and beef tallow, all the above from organic and grass fed sources. I knew man, or met him, who was 102 years old and had a girl friend who was somewhat younger and said complimentary things regarding his “vigor.” Point being, drug companies who push Viagra would go broke if they had to rely on this type of man. Life is fun.
