This was an incredibly small amount of liposomal DHA that was injected. There is a form of liposomal DHA available for oral use, and it might be helpful, but having the liposomal form already in the blood stream means it is more inclined to further pass through the vessel wall to where it’s needed. The oral liposomal form, in my understanding, has its liposomal form lost, as it’s absorbed.
A form of oral liposomal DHA is available from MaryRuth Organics.
“reduces size ... of atherosclerotic plaque”
Well that’s one way. But what if we just make the arteries bigger?
“Lecithin is in egg yolks, and a variety of other foods.”
It’s basically the most common “emulsifier”. “Soy lecithin” is what you’ll usually see on food labels. Basically, it can help two substances that are not mutually soluable stay mixed together in suspension, when they would normally separate. That’s why some peanut butters (the more organic/natural kind) will separate into oil and nut paste if they sit for awhile, while the Jif and Peter Pan will not (because they have lecithin or some other emulsfier added).
Vescepa which is a pure EPA Omega 3 does the same with prolonged use. 17% reduction after 18 months.
Docosahexaenoic acid liposomes for targeting chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer: an in vitro assessment
2016 Oct 5
By Amr Alaarg, Nan Yeun Jordan, Johan JF Verhoef, Josbert M Metselaar, Gert Storm, and Robbert J KokABSTRACT
Inflammation, oxidative stress, and uncontrolled cell proliferation are common key features of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; also known as omega3 fatty acids or fish oil) have beneficial effects against inflammation upon dietary consumption. However, these effects cannot be fully exploited unless diets are enriched with high concentrations of fish oil supplements over long periods of time. Here, a nanomedicine-based approach is presented for delivering effective levels of PUFAs to inflammatory cells. Nanoparticles are internalized by immune cells, and hence can adequately deliver bioactive lipids into these target cells. The ω3 FA docosahexaenoic acid was formulated into liposomes (ω-liposomes), and evaluated for anti-inflammatory effects in different types of immune cells. ω-Liposomes strongly inhibited the release of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species from human neutrophils and murine macrophages, and also inhibited the production of the proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and MCP1. Moreover, ω-liposomes inhibited tumor-cell proliferation when evaluated in FaDu head and neck squamous carcinoma and 4T1 breast cancer cells in in vitro cultures. We propose that ω-liposomes are a promising nanonutraceutical formulation for intravenous delivery of fish oil FAs, which may be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory disorders and cancer.
“Injectable nanoformulation…” Yeah, hard pass.
Nattokinase can reduce the area of atherosclerotic plaque. Also, it has been shown that nattokinase can reduce atherosclerosis to a greater extent than the statin therapy (powerful lipid-lowering drugs). Nattokinase inhibits aggregation of platelets, additionally supressing the blood clot formation.
“Natto” is a Japanese food made of fermented soy beans. While as such it does not taste particularly good, the slime that forms between the beans, the nattokinase, can be dried and processed into a tasteless powder, and is taken in pill form.
It is good both in safely dissolving blood clots and atherosclerotic plaque, and preventing their reformation, so it is an inexpensive treatment against clots, ischemic stroke and some types of heart attack.
The Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that I take has 838 mg. Is that enough?
Of course, as with anything coming from Big Pharma nowadays, one needs to THINK DEVIOUSLY as to how, maybe, such substances/compounds/etc. might be adulterated with all kinds of “bonus material”.
I refer to DNA, mRNA or whatever “the power behind the throne” wants you to receive.
What a world!! Science fiction of the last two centuries was only a hint in terms of where we are today.
Thanks.
