Here is more support for my point about "diseases" being caused by the "immune system" (which is hypersensitive when you have arachidonic acid in your cells), rather than by a "germ:"
QUOTE: ...Macrophages are defined as white blood cells that are key players in the immune response to foreign invaders. In the study mice were intravenously injected with drug-loaded liposomes to deliberately deplete their spleens and stomachs of macrophages and then infected with H. pylori. Results showed that elimination of macrophages reduced the gastric pathology induced by H. pylori, however it did not affect bacterial presence in the stomach... UNQUOTE.
Of course, these researchers are probably ignorant of the evidence about macrophages containing omega 3s or omega 6s versus those that do not.
