Editor- Has either Caroline Richmond or Iain Chalmers ever
investigated their own or anyone else's essential fatty acid (EFA) status?
I doubt it.
Over the past 20 years I have been requesting mineral, vitamin and
red cell essential fatty acid profiles as necessary and helpful
investigations in my patients. Deficiencies usually respond to
supplementation with minerals, vitamins and high doses of evening primrose
oil and fish oils. Without adequate EFA levels, not a single cell in our
bodies works efficiently. Neurones, in particular, need enough EFAs for
normal brain function. This is also a vital part of preconception care.1
Rapid Response:
The need for evening primrose oil.

Thank God for David Horrobin.
