Re: try dha/Soy free Omega 3 & 6, proper ratio

[Guest guest]

Francine,

My son eats flax seed every day: freshly ground moments before he

eats it- in flax seed grinder with ceramic wheels that do not heat

up. I also get flax seed oil into some of his foods - salads,

smoothies, etc. He eats really well for a 5 yr old. I was a bit of

a stickler about nutrition when he started onto table foods and that

has made life easier for us now.

Ok, now listen as I go " duh. " The whole reason I was looking for

omega 3/6 is because the DAN (the one who messed up in so many ways)

told me he " should " have EPA/DHA and NOT just flax, alone. And why,

oh why, am I not looking into that advice further? This IS the same

guy who gave soy laden products to a soy allergic kid - TWICE. I've

had a hectic schedule lately, and apparently I am suffering from head-

up-butt exhaustion, to not even think of where that suggestion came

from and check it out further. Information overload.

So are you saying I don't need to supp omega 3 & 6 - EPA/DHA if he

gets plenty of flax? What about vitamin E? I'm trying to get his

supplements on track so we can get started on the metals after the

holidays. The only reason I went to a DAN was to get testing done,

and see if he seemed at all willing to be on board with us, so we had

a doctor, on record, guiding his care. The second visit was where he

offered all the things no DAN should do. And so thanks to reading

this group's advice for awhile now, we knew to run away fast and

hard...screaming into the night!

Dear ,

First a hug. What a great mother you are!

Secondly, tell me about the grinder with ceramic wheels, please! That's why

I got this flaxseed I mentioned, because I was using a vitamix which can

chop up wooden blocks! It would be much cheaper for me to grind Whole Foods

organic flaxseed at $1.99 a pound! Please, tell me about it.

If you can find any quiet time to watch Dr.Dina's video, he can explain it

much better than I. The dha is from freshwater microalgae; I think I said

it's the stuff the fish eat. I think what I got from listening to Dr. Dina is

that in case we're not making dha -- or enough dha -- from the flax omega 3's,

then this supplement could be a good idea. Maybe you can call or email the

Drs. Dina (husband and wife).

That's awful about the DAN doctor; some are good, some not, apparently.

Maybe you could email the Autism Research Institute about what happened? (not

meaning to give you still one more thing to do!)(and yes, it helps to be a

'stickler' right from the beginning. Me too!

Giving you another hug,

Francine

p.s. and hoping I answered everything coherently on barely 4 hours sleep and

a lot of abuse. We've been on a roller coaster here.

My son needed preloading after mito cocktail, before he tolerated

fats. I had to start him on Omega 6 [evening primrose oil] for

several weeks. After that, he tolerated Omega 3,6,9 [flax] for

several months. It was only after that that he tolerated straight

Omega 3 [fish]. When I went from EPO to flax, he improved. When I

went from flax to fish, he improved more. So for my son, he needed

the fish oil.

Francince,

Here's a link:

http://www.fantes.com/grain-mills.html

scroll down a bit, it comes in black or white. Ceramic blades don't

heat up like metal can when it has to work hard to grind something as

tough as flax. My understanding is that the absence of heat keeps the

flax oils released by grinding (milling) as unchanged as possible. I

keep ours in the fridge. I pull it out, plug it in and grind flax on

whatever we like.

I started this over a year ago when I had a client who's daughter is

an ND, shared with me that is how he ended his arthritic knee pain

and went back to golfing 18 holes, 3 x per week. Without a cart. He's

75. I massage this guy - I could SEE the difference in how he moves,

walks, range of motion, etc. He told me he eats 2 T's flax, freshly

ground on yogurt every morning and within a month he was active

again. He had pretty much sat for 2 years as his wife died of cancer,

and he was grieving. So I reseached flax and decided to add fresh

ground flax to my family's diet.

Sorry you seem to be having a rough time, too. And thanks for the

hugs - right back at ya!

Is this the one ? Under it it talks about a pepper or spice mill that

uses ceramic too. The price isn't too bad. I thought it might be too

expensive for us. It should grind chia seed too, which is supposed to be great

stuff. There were American Indians I read who were so exceptional. They used

to

run about 50 miles roundtrip to their cornfields eating a little bit of chia

seeds.

That's a great healing of arthritis. Thank you for sharing it. You're a

masseuse? How great! I wish you lived next door!

You're right about flax. And what a wonderful idea, to keep the grinder in

the refrigerator! In making the hemp oil, the machines are kept chilled, as

well as the room, and this is how the oil is kept at low temp during the

process.

Any other great suggestions? Thanks so much.

Francine
