flax seed benefits for skin

Flax seed is generally considered a good diet supplement for omega 3 and other good stuff - for humans. Is it good to add to dog food, either canned or home cooked? I suppose if you dog eats Kibble with water some could be mixed in there too.

Hello -- I have been trying to find out whether consuming flax seed would interfere with the efficacy of the taxol / herceptin treatments that I am receiving for my breast cancer. I understand from a study done at the University of Toronto that flax seed may help to eliminate breast cancer. However, I would not want to consume anything that would interfere with my regular medical treatment. The cancer is in the left side of my lymph system. It is estrogen-receptor and HER-2 positive.

Actually, I don't use flax seed oil. I use flax seed meal, mixing it into granola, oatmeal, smoothies, etc. Its great for making corn bread. But I'm not on triple therapy either. And I love coconut anything!

Do you eat a healthy amount of essential fats, such as fish oil or flax seed oil etc.?

thanks, I will start using flax seed again, had stopped during tx. I usually grind them and sprinkle them over my food and salads etc...

You can take EPO throughout your whole cycle because it is an essential oil that is good for your whole body. I grind whole flax seed(store in freezer) in a coffee grinder and store it in a container in the freezer(flax spoils fast if you don't) to use whenever I feel like adding it to smoothies, baking or sprinkling it onto something. I hope this helps.

It was very cheap and I made salmon cakes which were very good and quick to make. It also said that flax seed and flax seed oil are high in Omega 3 fatty acids without the worry of mercury. Flax seed flour is good to add to foods in place of some of the flour. It has to be ground or crushed to be used by our bodies. Walnuts are another good source too. I found a good recipe for salmon cakes in Joy of Cooking. Here is the recipe I used.

Also supplement your diet with fish oil, as well as flax or borage seed oil. These natural oils will help to keep your skin hydrated and strengthen collagen. Vitamins improve skin tone include Vitamin C (an anti-oxidant) and Vitamin E (an anti-inflmmatory).

Since essential fatty acids are necessary, you can take flax seed oil in place of Evening Primrose Oil or EPO after ovulation. This may be taken throughout pregnancy as well. There are many remedies out there to help with fertility, but few are as good as Evening Primrose Oil or EPO. Evening Primrose Oil or EPO is excellent for women because of the help it gives in alleviating premenstrual syndrome symptoms, and even menopausal women can benefit from taking it.

My eye doc for the dry eyes and blepheritis said to start taking flax seed supplements not fish oil supp that is flaxseed supp is better. Why is this cause I thought fish oil supp are better. Also how much flax seed oil pills should I take. I got 1000mg of them. Thanks.

can I drink boost with flax seed oil in it for the fat content required for incivek doses

I wished I could take it for the health benefits; but, in our case, it causes digestive upset such as bloating and gas. So, I've replaced fish oil with flax seed oil and we do not experience the gas and bloating we had with fish oil. In my case, I feel much better on flax seed oil, emotionally as well as physically.

Blend flax seed in coffee blender, mix with peanut or almond butter, and eat on an apple with a glass of milk. This was all I could stomach that early.

You might try some flax seed and evening primrose oil. Do you get enough essential fats in your diet?

i just started treatment with telaprevir, and have used flax seed oil for the fat on one dose and will use it again. the problem with flax seed oil is it goes rancid really fast. so if you are going to use it make sure you buy from a very reliable source that refrigerates the oil and check the date. yesterday i bought an 8 ounce bottle of barlean's flax oil that was pressed on 9/15/10 with an expiration of 3/15/11. so make sure it is supper fresh. rancid oil will cause liver damage.

ve been taking 2 x 1000 mg fish oil every night for about 5 yrs for the cholesterol benefits. I still have episodes with PVCs. Can you be more specific on what you are taking? The name brands and dosages? It seems like alot of people on this site have remedies for PVCs, but I'm not sure if they really work or it's pure coincidence. Thanks.

can I use flax seed oil for eye drops for my dog? We have tried antibiotics, tacrolimus, and all over the counter drops but nothing seems to help, someone suggest flax seed oil but will only try this if I know it will not harm her in any way.

I have been giving him flax seed oil and a flea shampoo. The bald spot is no longer getting bigger and some hair is starting to grow. I will let you know if he keeps getting better.

I believe that flax. Seed oil caps cause acid reflux as well. I have had acid reflux for 2 months and started removing supplements from my diet to rule out what was causing it. The last 1 was flax seed, i took a capsule and instantly had a bout of acid reflux. I didnt take flax for 2 days and felt great. Just took a capsule and the acid reflux is back. Although its reported that flax is goid for acid reflux i dont think it applies to all.

I used flax seed meal for helping me keep my weight up, putting it into smoothies, oatmeal, etc. It makes wonderful cornbread. Check out this post: http://www.medhelp.

sorry to ask...it may sound dumb, but does it matter if it's hyper or hypo to avoid iodine?

I use a stabalized ground flax seed product to provide about 2/3 of my daily Omega-3 and a high quality fish oil capsule for the final third. The flax adds a pleasant nutty flavor to the small portion of yogurt I mix it with. I use products with (if I remember right) a 6:1 ratio of Omega-3:Omega-6. I get plenty of O-sixes from my diet (they are easy for most of us) but don't eat nearly enough foods rich in O-threes to keep a good ratio going.
