Vitamin-K2 and the diversion of calcium away from the damaged penile area 

The damaged penile area can be infiltrated with calcium as this seems to be nature’s way of helping to either dampen down the inflammatory process or to stabilise the plaque. However, as is the case of many processes in the body, this healing process may be taken to a point not intended by nature and this is most likely due to the poor levels of Vitamin-K2 in most individuals consuming the Western diet.

In humans, the consumption of Vitamin-K1 in dark green leafy vegetables is converted by organisms in the gut microbiome to Vitamin-K2 but with a markedly decreased intake of vegetables and hence Vitamin-K1 the Vitamin-K2 is going to be very low and without Vitamin-K2 the ‘Calcium Cop’ that directs calcium away from soft tissues to bones then we are going run into abnormal calcification in damaged tissue.

Armed with the information above, it doesn’t take a genius to work out if around 95% of Western populations don’t get anywhere near the 5 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit that Vitamin-K2 levels are going to be severely affected.

Docosahexaenoic Acid or DHA

Omega-3’s that include DHA/EPA/ALA are critical for not only dampening down inflammation but also providing the structural integrity of cell membranes and supporting receptor sensitivity and many other functions.

Omega-3’s are not something to be taken lightly for long-term health benefits. The trick is the use of Omega-3’s long-term and not to use this in a pharmacological magic bullet sense to reverse decades of neglect. This is the folly of medical science trying to use nutrition in a heroic way in clinical care. Nutrition does not work like an accident and emergency drug! 

DHA is a vital component of the central nervous system making up 40% of the polyunsaturated fats of the brain and 60% of the retina¹.

This huge makeup of DHA in neurological tissue should raise alarm bells that if this is deficient in nerves and nerve cells, that there will be a price to pay.

From tissue damage to trauma to ongoing diet-related insults to the body via oxidative stress, glycation, poor antioxidant intake, reduced phytochemical intakes, and exposures to environmental and toxic food compounds (herbicides, pesticides, phthalates, heavy metals, air pollution, toxicities in the home and many other threats). Omega-3’s are needed to fight off the damaging effect of inflammation and this fact cannot be disputed. Nobel Prizes have been awarded galore for Omega-3 research.

Choline: The Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway 

Choline is a compound like DHA is essential in your diet. Choline is vital for cell integrity and cell signalling. Of critical importance is the Vagus nerve in dampening down systemic inflammation¹¹. This nerve depends upon Acetylcholine which in turn depends on an adequate supply of Choline in the diet.

We now know of the ‘Inflammatory Reflex’ where the brain detects an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and this, in turn, causes stimulation of the vagus nerve to dampen down cytokine release from macrophages in the spleen^12,13. That the brain can dampen down inflammation through a nerve is an astounding finding and groundbreaking research. All of this depends on you getting an adequate supply of Choline often lacking in Western Diets

In 2019/2020 humanity, was introduced to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and a significant cause of death was a Cytokine Storm where a massive release of inflammatory cytokines caused death. This cytokine storm also occurs in seasonal flu. A lack of Omega-3’s, Choline and a multitude of other critical micronutrients in depleted Western diets will have caused ‘Sitting Ducks‘ in such a pandemic.

Choline is such as cheap essential nutrient and the ‘Elephant-in-the-room’ as a cause of lethal adverse effects of infections, and many disease processes is the Western diet riddled with inadequacies and ignorance, and yet medical science will look for a molecular mechanism with the ignorant belief that these cellular mechanisms are independent of dietary factors.

Two major phospholipids that are vital for cell membranes are phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Choline is needed to synthesise these components that enable cells to function.

The cell membrane is not only critical for cell-to-cell communication but for cell surface to cell interior communication through receptor activation by hormones, cytokines etc.

Choline is also vital in the creation of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, which is a target for Alzheimer’s treatments but when will medical science ever think of using the foundational molecule Choline to actually create Acetylcholine?

An unchallengeable fact is that life depends on your nutrition adequacy.

An amazing study by the Cochrane Collaboration a highly respected charitable organisation the looks objectively at medical research to reject non evidence-based ideas in the medical profession found that out of 70 randomised trials involving 20,000 women that DHA can reduce early preterm birth by 42% and by preterm birth overall by 11% an amazing result if you look at premature birth as a leading global cause of death and disability and a direct cause of more than 85% of perinatal deaths³. DHA helps with premature deaths through many mechanisms which share a commonality with neuroprotection or cellular integrity and protection of all cells, tissues and organs.

With such scientific evidence, it is imperative for medical practitioners to discuss these findings with women who are wanting to fall pregnant, especially when medical science trumpets evidence-based medicine as the gold standard for treatment.

So you can see the fantastic benefits of Omega-3’s and Choline and that these compounds need to be seriously considered in managing not only the brains of the mother and developing foetus and to prevent premature birth, but to use Omega-3’s and Choline in neurological disease and better still, to use this long before the manifestation of neurological disease starts.
