“Rats were kept on either a low-fat diet or on a fish oil (omega-3 PUFAs) or safflower oil (omega-6 PUFAs) diet for 3 weeks before the administration of colon cancer cells to the portal vein, until they were sacrificed at 1 or 3 weeks after tumor transplantation. At 1 week after transplantation, the fish oil diet had induced 7-fold more metastases (in terms of number and size) than had the low-fat diet, whereas the safflower oil diet had not affected the number and total volume of metastases. At 3 weeks after tumor transplantation, the fish oil diet and the safflower oil diet had induced, respectively, 10- and 4-fold more metastases (number) and over 1000- and 500-fold more metastases (size) than were found in the livers of rats on the low-fat diet.”

“In conclusion, omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs promote colon cancer metastasis in the liver without down-regulating the immune system.”

“We extended the study of the pain pattern, as revealed by concomitant variations of pain intensity and body acid-base balance, from cancer cases, in which a frank dualism had been seen, to other painful conditions. It was interesting to note that, in many conditions, pain can have one or the other pattern but there are some conditions in which only one pattern is consistently found. Pain following trauma of any kind — the pain of postoperative and accidental wounds, burns and fractures, for example — always has an alkaline pattern. This is also true for the pain of gallbladder colic. In other conditions, either pattern may be present and must be determined by analysis. For instance, the pain of neuritis and simple headache has an acid pattern in some cases, alkaline in others.”

“If you want to use a polyunsaturated oil as a drug, it is worthwhile to remember that the ‘essential fatty acids’ suppress metabolism and promote obesity; are immunosuppressive; cause inflammation and shock; are required for alcoholic liver cirrhosis; sensitize to radiation damage; accelerate formation of aging pigment, cataracts, retinal degeneration; promote free radical damage and excitoxicity; cause cancer and accelerate its growth; are toxic to the heart muscle and promote atherosclerosis; can cause brain edema, diabetes, excessive vascular permeability, precocious puberty, progesterone deficiency, skin wrinkling and other signs of aging.”
