Hans- I have seen you speak of getting AA out of one's cells faster then 2 years, but never seen you mention any specific methods. Do you have any ideas as to how one could speed this process along, even if it's just sped up a little bit.
The sheer severity of my allergic reaction to the penicillin really just scared the crap out of me. I really don't want to take the prednisolone that I was presribed because I am afraid that my HPV infection might resurface, which has been under control for about 9 months now. |

Didn't you say you don't really sunburn any more, or was that someone else? It takes different amounts of time for different types of cells, and you can slow the process down if you eat the wrong kinds of things, even once in a while. However, it's important not to speed up the process, because AA is dangerous, which is why I advise eat a diet rich in things like dark chocolate and prunes while you are doing it. I think if you "stick to the program" and don't stress your body out in other ways (like not getting enough sleep) it's highly unlikely you would have viral reactivations, at least until you are quite old. You may have replaced all the AA already, in which case that reaction would have likely been deadly with AA in your cells. In any case, I don't know of any evidence that demonstrates a quick AA to Mead acid transition, but if you find any, please post it here. |

Yes, that was me who said I don't sunburn anymore.
Do viruses just "reactivate" as you get older? What about if you have no AA in your cells? Do you age like others when you have no AA in your cells? Are some age related changes "inevitable"? |

Well, I don't think my great grandfather, who lived to be over 100, had AA in his cells, and he went bald very young, but otherwise was in great shape, with very few problems. His eyesight was not great as he got really old, but he could still see. And he could get around without problems. "Latent viruses" will reactivate with stress, and as you get old you lose the "youth associated hormones," but also there is more of a chance you will be deficient in one or more vitamins/minerals. |

The point I make about certain studies is that if you feed animals raised on something like corn oil only coconut oil as their fat source, the omega 6 PUFAs will be replaced, and during this process, there may be higher levels of certain markers of oxidative stress. This is why I advise an antioxidant-rich diet when switching to a very low PUFA diet. I don't know if it's a particularly good idea to try to speed the process up, and the idea you suggest may be relative to the amount of overall calories consumed. My guess is that if you try it but eat more calories than you need to, it might not work. It may work for a lot of low-carb dieters because they tend to eat less calories than usual. Just keep in mind, in the low-carb context, that something like lard, considered by most "experts" as a "saturated fat," is only 40% saturated, and so I would not consider eating it under any circumstances (except if starvation was at hand). Uncooked butter, coconut, and palm kernel oil are the only fats I would use. I don't mind eating cheese, because it is highly saturated, and dark chocolate has a high percentage of SFAs too. |
