  I'd like to ad a note that may be useful to those looking for other
  remedies.
  Linoleic acid is an important constituant of Evening primrose oil.  This
is
  an essential fatty acid for the human organism.  That is it cannot be
  manufactured in the haman body but is  needed for good health.  Linoleic
  acid is a precursor to Prostiglandin synthesis.  ie you can't make
  prostaglandin without it.
  My point being look for thise things that contain this fatty acid.
  Sunflower seeds or oil,  emu oil, flax seed, or linseed oil.  I am sure
  there are other things out there that naturally contain this.  At least
now
  you have a clue as to what essential item you are looking for.
  ==========================================================================
  I understand that Linoleic Acid is also good for increased fat burning and
general trimming.
