DHA
DHA, EPA these are the omega 3s from oily fish, grass fed meat, and well fed eggs.
Let’s focus on just DHA in its unlimited role in nutrition “for everything,” which is second to none.
This is the briefest overview of issues to put on your radar for further research as I don’t have time to elaborate and answer questions. Other people can contribute as they wish.
Functions of DHA:
Electron Flow
As part of electron transport chain to mitochondria for energy to perform every function.
Through the eyes and skin converts photons of light into electrons and DC electric current for cellular use.
This is the physics of nutrition that most people are missing as they are only focused on chemistry.
(see Jack Kruse for super in depth analysis if you don’t have brain fog.)
Metabolic Hormonal Regulation
Total regulation of metabolic processes through circadian rhythms following sunlight working with melanospin (like melanin) and retinol animal vitamin A. (see Jack Kruse)
Cell Membranes
Important to cell membrane fluidity to allow nutrients in and waste out of cells:
“Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)….has strong medical implications since its dietary presence has been positively linked to the prevention of numerous human afflictions including cancer and heart disease. The PUFA, moreover, is essential to neurological function.
It is remarkable that one simple molecule has been reported to affect so many seemingly unrelated biological processes.
Although details of a molecular mode of action remain elusive, DHA must be acting at a fundamental level common to many tissues that is related to the high degree of conformational flexibility that the multiple double bonds have been identified to confer.
One likely target for DHA action is at the cell membrane where the fatty acid is known to readily incorporate into membrane phospholipids. Once esterified into phospholipids DHA has been demonstrated to significantly alter many basic properties of membranes including acyl chain order and "fluidity", phase behavior, elastic compressibility, permeability, fusion, flip-flop and protein activity. It is concluded that DHA's interaction with other membrane lipids, particularly cholesterol, may play a prominent role in modulating the local structure and function of cell membranes.” From:
Docosahexaenoic acid: membrane properties of a unique fatty acid
by William Stillweel and Stephen R Wassall.
I don’t provide links.
The Enemy of DHA:
Artificial light destroys DHA in cell membranes and the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Again see Jack Kruse and mitochondriac oriented groups.
My thing is to make connections between large areas or subsystems, and I have written recently about these nutrients:
Synergistic Nutrients
Cholesterol
DHA donates electrons to cholesterol which serves as antioxidant electron donor.
Cholesterol is an important part of cell membranes and the flow of electrons in the body at part of the overall picture.
Cholesterol joined with sulfur as cholesterol sulfate is part of the electrification of blood vessels which keeps the blood flowing and actually pulls circulation from the capillaries more than being pumped by the heart.
See Stephanie Seneff on cholesterol sulfate.
See Thomas Cowan on new theory of cardiology.
Cholesterol is also part of cell membranes to maintain fluidity for utilization of nutrients and detox.
I’ve writing about cholesterol and sulfur: I’m not spoon feeding any links, find it: click, click you don’t have to type, learn how to do that I can’t teach you.
Choline
Is another brain and membrane nutrient.
Choline is more well known than DHA as a membrane nutrients, and related phospholipids.
There is a whole cell membrane detox method based on using phosphatidylcholine, although other nutrients from whole food sources are important, too.
I’ve written about this under Cell Membranes for more info. I’m not spoon feeding any links, find it: click, click you don’t have to type, learn how to do that I can’t teach you.
They don’t often include DHA, EPA in this method although the connection was made in the above quote.
Whole Food Sources
One of the key things that people don’t know is that it seems that the iodine in fish serves as an antioxidant to prevent the oxidation of oils.
There are many complaints about fish oils supplements of various kinds. I found they never worked and I never needed them.
Sure some people get results from supps, but better is not always best. You don’t know until you experiment to compare. I’m not here to argue for the sake of arguing and I BLOCK people who do.
It’s easier and cheaper to get 3 grams of a commonly recommended dose of fish oil from just one or two ounces of fish, even over-cooked from a BPA lined can—just pour the water out or find a brand with a clean container.
Everyone knows the fatty fish: mackerel, salmon, sardines.
Norwegian mackerel is the fattiest and a small fish that does not accumulate mercury and can’t be farmed.
The whole ocean is not polluted beyond use and you should be able to tell by how you feel after you eat it if it toxic.
