| Along with the obvious wheelchair (which makes my ability
to get-around possible), also hides a number of other disabling
difficulties. The most obvious is our (often) lack of connection to a
‘life-mate’ and our (usual) poverty. In ‘rich’ countries like
ours we often live off a welfare pension, even though we have ‘special’
expenses: like paying for a wheelchair; etc... to survive.
In my case, I’ve run out of the money left to me by deceased relatives, that I used for experimenting. So without help, I cannot continue .... Here’s a recent idea seeking experiment: Besides carrying some lecithin and many essential fatty acids, human-colostrum [all mammals have this first-milk after birth] contains a special ‘activator’ to produce acyl-CoA:lysolecithin transferase in the human digestive system. In FA, the vast majority of us were never breast-fed. So we are missing this special ‘activator’. This digestive enzyme is responsible for digesting essential fatty acids (EFA’s). These two families of fats are ‘essential’ only for some species like humans and equines(horses) but these same lipids are actually destroyed by the intestinal system of bovines(cows). Therefore, bovine-colostrum (commercially easily available because it does contain many potent characteristics) is also likely devoid of the needed ‘activator’. These fats are needed by all species, but cows’ metabolisms make them internally on a needs basis and are not dependant on foods to obtain these fats. These ideas may apply to older FA’ers as well: Any colostrum retains much of its potency even for those decades older than the neonatal stage (a newborn). For the very few people with FA, it may be that intakes of horse-colostrum is similar enough to human-colostrum that it too may have the ‘activator’ to increase digestion of EFA’s. After a few attempts, horse-colostrum seems easier to speculate about than to obtain. I have been spectacularly unsuccessful in getting some, letting alone ‘paying’ for it. If you can help ... please try!
