Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 The below is taken from the artickle on 78-yo man shrinking lung cancer by only increasing Omega-3 and discontinuing all other oils. They write that he was taking fish and algae oils. " The gradual and continual shrinkage of the pulmonary lesions observed with DH from July 2000 to April 2004 is attributed to the consumption of high quantities of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and golden algae oil and the decreased consumption of vegetable oils rich in LA, considered to be a tumor-promoting fatty acid. " http://naes.agnt.unr.edu:8081/omega3/Research%20Papers/Case%20Report%2001.pdf Can someone please explain me if flax oil would be considered tumor-promoting? It's a bit confusing because flax oil is also high in omega-3. Thank you! Katerinka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Flax seed has the perfect ratio of Omega 3 and 6 (I read it also has Omega 9, new to me) Omega 3 is the one you want. Flax oil is considered to be anti-cancer. It is the " normal " vegetable cooking oils which replaced coconut oil and lard which cause so many health problems. I've heard it said that even " bad " coconut oil (i.e. refined, bleached and deodorised) was better than the common vegetable seed oils used in cooking. Flax is high in Alpha-Linolenic acid [ALA]. It contains up to 800 times more lignans than other plant sources, said to reduce the risk of horomone-sensitive cancers like Breast and Prostate. I have read that the benefit of fish oil, in part, is that it is far easier to digest than flax for a body that is ill.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Katerinka What made you worry that flax oil would be considered tumor promoting? In all the studies I recall reading it was the opposite - tumor growth inhibiting (as is the case for omega-3 fats in general).
