Flax seeds will add fiber and gently sweep your digestive system.

If it was my body, flax seed crackers would be fine. It is not premarin........

Get it?

Subject: [ ] DO FLAX SEEDS PROMOTE ESTROGEN?

My oncologist told me two months ago to stay away from soy, black

cohosh, ginseng, red clover and flax seeds. Needless to say, I have

been cautious about the flax seeds. Have not taken a drop of flax seed

oil, but now and then I'll have something with flax seeds, even some

raw flax seed crackers.

My naturopath told me to stay away from the flax seed, but that he

things she is wrong about the flax seeds themselves.

Who is right?????????????

Flaxseeds = estrogen???

And what about chia/salba seeds = estrogen???

Flaxseeds are a weak estrogen. Soy is a strong estrogen. Weak

estrogens bind to the body estrogen and keep them from activating, or

something like that.

Your doctors are wrong about flax seed.

My ND told me it was essential to have flaxseed in my diet. But my

stage of cancer was very different than yours. Flaxseeds have so many

other good things in them that fight cancer, I would think they would be

a good thing in the diet.

The Budwig people feel that flax seeds on their own aren't going to

help. They look at the chemistry between the oil and sulpher in the

dairy and see how it shoots the good cancer killing stuff directly into

the cancer cells.

If you put the right kind of estrogen into your body, then it will help

eliminate the bad estrogen. Not all estrogens are created equally.

Dear Perk:

 

Thank you so much for finally clearing this up. I can't believe the B.S. that

surrounds the myths and falsehoods that can really grind someone's grawl.

 

But did I read this right, " In general, lignans protect against breast cancer in

premenopausal women. There really is no protection for postmenopausal women. "

 

I am postmenopausal.

I read on another website that there is evidence that flax seeds help

postmenopausal women as well.

Yes! I have been post menopausal for 14 years and have gotten cancer twice since

then. Estrogen is created in places other the ovaries (i.e. adrenals).

If your progesterone levels are low, you still can be estrogen-dominant!

It is a misconception that post-menopausal = cancer-free
