Just to be clear, I've pointed out that experiments have shown you don't get LTB4 from Mead acid (LTB4 is very dangerous stuff), but mostly LTA3. Now the "EFA" advocates say your body can't perform basic and necessary functions (such as blood clotting) with Mead acid in your cells. If this were true, at the very least, omega 6s would indeed be essential (omega 3s hinder blood clotting). However, I have found that my cuts heal at least as quickly (often seems more quickly) and the scab is rubbery, not like a hard plastic, as was the case when I had arachidonic acid in my cells. Thus, it's an issue of maximum effectiveness without any unhealthy developments, and only Mead acid delivers this combination (omega 3s seem to be worse in every way, and are only "good" in that they can counteract the excessive qualities of AA derivatives like LTB4 (by not allowing as much LTB4 to be produced in the first place, it seems).
