Theoretically, many diseases could be controlled or cured by normalizing
prostaglandin production. It appears that a multitude of health problems
result from a deficiency in prostaglandin caused by a number of factors:
-
Inadequate intake of essential fatty acids (EFAs)
-
Excessive
of the wrong form of essential fatty acids (EFAs) - trans-linoleic
acid
-
Genetic
or health related defects that prevents the conversion of essential
fatty acids (EFAs) to their useful forms
-
Deficiency of insulin (in diabetes) and key nutrients (vitamin B6,
zinc, magnesium) needed for catalyzing the production of
prostaglandin
Evening
primrose oil is an ideal way of supplying the body with gamma linolenic
acid (GLA) for prostaglandin production. A daily intake of 2000-4000 mg
of evening primrose oil
has resulted in a number of significant health improvements. Reports
show that evening primrose oil has positive effects on many chronic
diseases and common ailments.
Evening
Primrose Oil and Alcoholism
A little is
good for you and too much may cause permanent damage. Excessive alcohol
interrupts the conversion of cis-linoleic acid to gamma linolenic acid (GLA),
hence low levels of Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) leading to increased risk of heart attacks,
strokes, high blood pressure, brain and nerve damage, liver
deterioration, and reduced ability to cope with infection.
Some
individuals may inherit alcoholism through a genetic inability to make
the proper fatty acid conversion.
