This sounds promising.

But in a world where most people are deficiency in Vitamin D3 a NATURAL ANTI INFLAMMATORY AGENT wouldn't correcting vitamin D deficiency first be a sensible idea. 5000iu/daily D3 is cheap enough and less than half the amount full body midday non burning sun exposure would produce. Keeping levels above 50ng/ml means you always have a stored reserve of vitamin D3 as we only begin to store D3 above 40ng/ml.

Only 10% of US adults actually consume the daily RDA for magnesium and because higher omega 6 levels leads to increased excretion of magnesium the current RDA is probably insufficient now anyway. Albion Magnesium chelates are not that expensive however one of the best absorbed forms is magnesium bicarbonate water and that is even cheaper to make.

Magnesium, inflammation, and obesity in chronic disease.

We should also recognise that most USA adults are suffering high levels of inflammation from the amount of omega 6 oils in their systemsand that it is this that is the primary source of the excess inflammation.

Much as I would like everyone to consume more Concentrated omega 3 fish oil we have to recognise that above a ratio of 5<> 1 the omega 6 displaces omega 3 so we won't see the amount of improvement we would like until the ratio of omega 6 is lowered and that means eliminating ndustrial seed oils such as corn, soybean, safflower, sunflower and cottonseed oil and all the commercially made foods that contain them and by extension the intensively reared meat that has been fattened using high omega 6 containing foods, primarily poultry.
Although increasing omega 3 intake is fairly instant in raising plasma omega 3 levels the half life of omega 6 is 2 yrs so even if you stopped consuming all high omega 6 sources today it will be more than a couple of years before your ratio of omega 6 is approaching the level your DNA evolved to work best with. but obviously the sooner you start the better.

My main point is that we do not really require NEW anti inflammatory treatments we simply need to reinstate the natural anti inflammatory status our bodies would naturally achieve eating pasture raised meats and traditional oils and fats.

But, that's not patentable, so there's no $$$ in it.

I've been working to eliminate omega 6's from my diet. They seem to hide everywhere!

That would be the best solution, but diet and cheap supplements don't make $$$$ for the medical establishment. Anyt time they find something that could be helped with simple lifestyle changes, they have to look for a drug or medical procedure instead. It wouldn't surprise me if they start pushing statins to control diabetes because of the inflammation factor. Never mind that diabetes increased in the treatment group of the JUPITER study.....

They already ARE pushing statins for Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's; despite some evidence that statins can cause such.

Then again, I've had people flat out tell me; "I don't want to change my lifestyle, I just want to take a pill." There's yer market.
