flax oil instead of olive?

[Guest guest]

I sure this issue has been addressed before but I was unable to find it in the

archives.

Can one use flax oil instead of olive oil in the gallbladder flush?

Thanks, mike

Hi Mike,

No, I would not use high concentrations of flax oil for anything. Flax oil

is a polyunsaturated oil, and large amounts can be very damaging to your

health. There is a good article here you can read:

monounsaturated olive oil, it is much safer.

I differ in my opinion with regard to the information

discussed below. Much of the negative information

given in the writeup, in simple terms, speaks of the oil

being harmful when it becomes oxidized (spoiled in

a sense from poor manufacturing and storage). Flax

seed oil should be purchased from a reliable source,

and then I store my bottles of liquid flax seed oil in

the refrigerator and use by date on label, and put

my gelcaps in the freezer as soon as they arrive.

Flax seed oil is a wonderful oil with omega's and also

has great anti-inflammatory properties. This is especially

nice for the discomfort some feel after a flush in the bile

ducts, liver and gallbladder. I use it with my flushes,

1 part olive oil to 1 part flax seed oil, and for a few days

after, all my usual aches and pains are gone as an extra

bonus to flushing :-)

I agree with this portion of the article from the coconut-info site:

" The seed eaten whole or ground into a meal provides health benefits

unrelated to its oil content. Many of the health claims you hear

attributed to flaxseed oil are not re­ally a product of the oil, but

of the fiber in the seed. "

Anything refined is not as good as the whole product. For example,

remember when people found that we needed the wheat germ that had

been removed from the wheat.

Also, too much of anything is no good. Yes, be careful of how you

store flax seed oil, it should not be allowed to go rancid.

What's the difference between flax seed oil and linseed oil (which is

poisonous)? I am curious as they both come from the same seed (I

thought).
