" It's also important to get extra essential fatty acids, such as

flaxseed oil and evening primrose oil; they reduce inflammation and,

over time, help build healthy nerves. "

Flaxseed oil and flaxseed--with unsaturated fats--may help to:

" Counter inflammation associated with gout, lupus and fibrocystic

breasts. Omega-3 fatty acids appear to limit the inflammatory reaction

associated with these conditions. In cases of lupus, flaxseed oil not

only reduces inflammation in the joints, skin and kidneys, but also

lowers cholesterol levels that may be elevated by the disease. "

I would still like to see Dr. Weil's information. I do know that I

have found erroneous information in his newsletters.
