We have to consume some basic alpha linolenic acid --it is an essential Omega-3. Without it you cannot live. It goes into your body to maintain the skin, all cell membranes, nerves, stomach lining ...everything!

So he must be eating foods with omega-6 in them. Most veggies, and processed carbs.

If one does not balance omega-3 and 6 properly, the body becomes inflammatory, and cannot heal itself properly.
