Bb produces PLA2... and likely secretes it = sPLA2.

...antimicrobial tetracyclines inhibit the activity of proinflammatory secretory group II phospholipase A2 (sPLA2).

PMID: 9733464

sPLA2 is NOT GOOD.

Lidocaine injected under a tick before removal (as suggested by a Canadian doc years ago) maybe also helpful.

PLA2 is way up in many diseases...autism is one.

There are many forms of PLA2.

It -> arachidonic acid (omega 6) and ouch.

Major imbalance.

Arachidonic acid metabolized to PGE2 which inhibits phagocytosis...

EPA blocks AA -> PGE2.

Omegabrite may help a LOT.

Marnie, can you please explain why Omegabrite is a better supplement than "average" fish oil supplements? Is it the ratio of Omegas? If other products had a similar ratio, would you consider them as good as the Omegabrite?

Thanks!
