Guest guest Posted September 25, 2000 Report Share Posted September 25, 2000 it is recommended to keep the pills in the fridge. althogh some don't give those instructons tis better to go on safety's side. Also do not over do the flax although it's seen as a supplement like any drug it can cause bad side effects when you have too much. Actually anything you have too much of even broccoli can become carcenogenic in the body. _Adriel > From: aewinchell@... > Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 21:02:46 -0000 > rheumaticegroups > Subject: rheumatic flax seed > > > Falx seed oil is available in capsules also, this way it doesn't get > rancid.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2000 Report Share Posted September 25, 2000 " Falx seed oil is available in capsules also, this way it doesn't get rancid. The seeds have to be ground fresh, they oxidize (get rancid) soon, don't buy the flax seed meal. We use the flax seed ground up in bread also (just replace some of the flour with it). Hugs, Agnes " Agnes There is nothing wrong with using the meal. I have used it for years and I cook with it and bake with it since I cannot use alot of other flours I use flax meal instead. Sometimes I dont have time to grind All I read lately has said fresh ground (meal) is better then the oil. I think it is important to know that we cant digest the seeds in themselves. It all should be kept refrigerated the capsules and the oil caan go rancid as would the meal June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Oh yes, I agree, ORGANIC flaxseed works wonders. I'm convinced it is one of the things that has really helped. I like it so much, I get nervous when I'm about to run out. Make sure to grind it (otherwise you won't digest it) and eat it on everything (veggies, meat, etc). It gives you the right kinds of oils, and helps remove toxins, gives fiber without lots of carbs. If you have constipation, here is the healthy way to solve that. THE perfect thing for chronic illnes. Kell > I take fresh organic flax seed and grind it up in an electric coffee grinder.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 My guess is that if you don't grind it you simply pass out the seeds (unless you really chew on them--which you can do). I think a cheap coffee grinder is about $10-15. I don't have a good sense of taste, but I would describe a slight nutty-oily taste. It won't overwhelm anything. I think cereal is a good idea (I just can't tolerate milk). Kell > > I take fresh organic flax seed and grind it up in an electric > coffee grinder.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Kim, An ND I saw previous to Dr. Leu recommended to me that flax never be stored in plastic because it will absorb it. She said to always store it in a glass container. I found out that I am actually allergic to flax and cannot take it. For others that may have problems with it, Thorne makes a product called Medibulk that you mix with a liquid, I mix it with my breakfast smoothie. It contains psyllium powder, prune powder and pectin. I couldn’t tolerate Metamucil or other psyllium products but Medibulk doesn’t bother me at all. Kenda Hi! Yes to use ground flax seed as a laxative, mix 2 tablespoons in a cup of warm water before it thickens up-the thickening will happen in your stomach. to be able to digest the flax seed and get the benefits the shell must be broken. I grind up about two cups at a time and put in a tupperware. You can usually find flax in the bulk section of the health department in your grocery store. I don't like the pre-ground stuff. The seeds will last a long time and are inexpensive.Two-thirds of the fiber in flax is insoluble. The fiber cleans out the intestines like a broom! The other one-third is water. This helps reduce serum cholesterol levels and regulates glucose levels. (great for people with diabetes). I have read that it is not good to purchase pre-ground flax as the exposed oil in flax oxidizes rapidly and can rancid within a number of days.Just a note for people who have been taking a lot of antibiotics. Flax mucilage helps the intestional flora to re-establish itself. Also flax helps with ulcers, The mucilage covers the inflamed areas and protects them from the stomach acids. Hope this helps! take care. Kim Opinions expressed are NOT meant to take the place of advice given by licensed health care professionals.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 > > Is flax seed gel (flax seeds boiled in water ) bad for the diet? I know flax seed are not allowed but I was just curious. ==>Flax seeds are usually broken and rancid by the time you buy them, and seeds also must be properly prepared by soaking before using them, and they are high in carbs. So no. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Flaxseed for Menopausal Discomfort Safety concerns have reduced the number of women on hormone replacement therapy, but flaxseed is rich in phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) that can take the heat out of hot flashes. At Laval University in Quebec, Canada, researchers gave 25 menopausal women HRT or flaxseed (1.4 ounces per day, mixed into food). After six months, flaxseed relieved hot flashes as effectively as HRT. (15) Flaxseed for Osteoporosis Because flaxseed is a natural hormone replacement therapy, it also mimics HRT's bone-preserving ability. Oklahoma State researchers gave a placebo or flaxseed (1.3 ounces per day) to 38 postmenopausal women for 14 weeks, and measured blood and urine for markers of bone loss and regrowth. The flaxseed group showed decreased bone resorption and calcium excretion, indicating reduced bone loss. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
