Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Rhonda, I try to remember to take flax seed oil every day straight up. 1-2 T. It was part of my recent 3-week juice fast program and I'm trying to keep up the habit. My skin has improved 100%. It has a nice nutty flavor (Jarrow brand) and is quite palatable straight from the spoon. It's great for lubricating the bowel and adding the good kind of oil--full of Omega 3s and 9s, etc., which we know is excellent for artery health.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Be sure to keep it refrigerated. I use it daily on my salads. I make my salad and then add a minimum of two tablespoons on my salad. That is my dressing. I salt it with "real salt" lightly. I also add it to my protein shakes. It makes your skin very smooth and silky. I like the taste of it. If you eat cottage cheese, then you can add cottage cheese to your salad by putting it on the very top of the greens, then top it off with the flax seed oil, I then sprinkle it with sunflower seeds. That is a wonderful combination that is supposed to be very good for cancer. ~Karma ---------------------------------------http://loaves-n-fishes.com/ Health care items, over 200 manufacturers, over 5,000 products including vitamins, herbs, passive aerobic exercisers, body-fat scales, camping and storage food, plus more, at 10-30% off retail prices!http://www.karma.awarenesshealth.com/ Awareness Products, parasite and colon cleanses, Mediterranean botanicals -----Original Message-----From: rr-jr@...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Quite right. I buy a balanced blend when it's available. Otherwise, I use olive oil and eat quite a bit of fish which gives me different essential fatty acids. All told, my intake is likely less than 1/2 cup a day of all oils combined. I'm working on lowering my blood pressure and cholesterol and these quantities were recommended by different sources.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 I mix mine in quark, 2-4 tablespoons in a fourth a cup of quark(cottage cheese) is suppose to reduce your cancer risk according to Dr Budwig. The quark has the protein to help your body utilize the oils. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Dear Rhonda, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 2 tbls spoon of flaxseed oil once a day. Contains Omega 3 and 6 oils. Needs sulphur to work (cottage cheese contains sulphur). Do not heat because carcinogens could be formed. Gets rancid quickly---keep cool in refrigerator and in light proof bottle. Refer to work br Dr. Johanna Budwig for more info. Be careful, it's use should follow certain guidlines.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Yes, I live in Holland. Shame you people have to substitute cottage cheese for quark cause its so wonderful!! I'm addicted to fruit quark! Since reading info on flaxoil and the budwig diet, I've been doing my flaxseed oil in quark and its working great! Now, the other problem with living in Holland is...you cant find flaxoil...they use cold pressed linseed oil. When I first read that I thought about linseed oil and how its used to protect wood. But the lady at the store assured me it was edible and the same as flaxoil so I tried it. It is basically the same. Yesterday while I was out shopping, I found something else to add to the flaxoil/quark combination. It says its supposed to be used as part of the Budwig protocol. It looks like it has different type of whole grains in it and lechtine along with some fermented things LOL Hard to read it in dutch! I'm going to start it today and see how it goes!

It's funny, when I first started reading Dr. Cabot's book and wanted to make some LSA, I went to the health food store and asked for Linseeds. The lady didn't know what I was talking about. Luckily I had the book with me and showed her. In the book it has Linseed (flaxseed), so she told me to call it flaxseed and, yes, she had some.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 The flax oil should be refrigerated when you buy it and there should be an expiration date. Make sure it is fresh when you buy it.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Don't know if it lasts 6 months, I would say check the expiration date. Yes, you can freeze it.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Earl, I thought flax seeds were good for you? Essential fatty acids. I bought a combination flax seed oil and evening primrose oil to possibly help with hairloss, as I have read about several people that it helped slow down the shedding. Evening primrose oil is also good for menstral problems I have heard many times. Take care. Love and Peace, Reneé and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 : All I can tell you is that unsaturated fatty acids cause massive free radical proliferation and damage. That includes flax oil. Now, linseed fibre is quite beneficial, after the oil has been largely removed. Evening primrose oil has been recommended for PMS, so has estrogen!!! Estrogen causes PMS and thyroid + progesterone will eliminate PMS. [which is why I keep telling you all that the Hormone Regeneration protocol was designed to eliminate the auto-immune disorder that causes thyroid dysfunction and by eliminating all pathogens, restoring gut function, restoring thyroid function, balancing blood sugar and supplying progesterone, we can eliminate most health problems. Yes, there are variations on this, but this is a successful basic program proven in my clinic over many years.] Earl Re: flax oil Earl, I thought flax seeds were good for you? Essential fatty acids.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Tina: The lignans in flax seed seem to very useful. The oil without the lignans is just another PUFA or poly unsaturated fatty acid...which causes free radical damage. Coconut oil is coconut oil. They don't do much to it.Its solid white at room temperature and soon liquifies at body temperature...which animal fats dont do. Animal saturated fats remain solid at body temperature. Earl flax oil Wow! I didn't know that. I was believing that flax oil is so good for us according to health " experts " . What about the seeds? I know they have oil in them, but aren't they beneficial because of the lignans? By the way, where did you get this info.? I'd love to read it for myself. Is there coconut oil just anywhere? Are there special types or certain ways of getting the oil that I should look for? Can you tell I'm new to this list? Thank you for your help.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 : My data suggests that flax oil causes inflammation. Inflamed joints are due to the organism helicobacter and needs a natural antibiotic to take it out. ImmunoGuard is a natural antibiotic and can be had from www.thyrodine.com You may be able to find some form of natural antibiotic in the health food store...echinacea/golden sels/chaparral type. And Psyllium Huills complex a full tablespoon in apple juice. The natural antibiotic you'd need to take 4 or 5x a day and the psyllium hulls before bed and upon arising...for 2 weeks. Then get a probiotic and take 3x whatver it recommends a day. You would also need to clear the gut and re-install correct intestinal bacteria [this is Phase-I of the Thyroid Regeneration protocol. Look in your health food shop and see if yiu can find a formula with boswellia/celery seed/ginger/turmeric. Liquid herbs best, tabs OK. You'll also need glucosamine and MSM capsules, maybe 6 a day for awhile.
