Avatar n tn As far as I know, studies about flax seed and cancer are still in their infancy stage. The cancer more frequently associated with this is prostate cancer. I'm quoting this text from the american cancer society website: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Flaxseed_Ginseng_Show_Promise_for_Cancer_Patients.
612551 tn?1450022175 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.
250155 tn?1485295939 i like to put flax seed in my instant oatmeal for breakfast. you can't even taste it.
213398 tn?1202670474 (I only use organic products) and try to get it in my food sources first ...fresh salmon, Flax seed...but also take an organic supplement. My doctor highly recomends it, but again I was taking it before I was Dx. I just started mixing Acai juice in my fruit drinks/ on ocassion(mainly because it is so expensive) never heard of any negative effects...again I am new to this one....and think blueberries probably have as much antioxidents as the Acai berry.
Avatar f tn 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.
163322 tn?1458676408 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!
Avatar f tn s check out some of the basic flax. The fatty acids in flaxseed are highly unsaturated, more so than most other vegetable oils. This makes flax seeds more susceptible to oxidation, a reaction that destroys the nutritive value of an oil and turns it rancid. This doesn't make the oil toxic, but rancid fats are not what you want in your food or in your body. The key is exposure to air (oxygen), and heat can speed up the process.
2046312 tn?1360379600 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.
Avatar m tn I wonder whether you will throw similar light on the use of Flax seed and Flax seed oil.There are many websites on the internet. If important aspects are given in a simple manner, it will prove useful to all community members.Dr.Budwig protocol is also an important work on Flax seed.Please do write on this subject. Thanks.
Avatar n tn t give me a clear-cut answer. He seemed to lean towards my *not* consuming the flax seed right now, just in case it would interfere with the treatments. However, he made it clear that he really doesn't know, and he doesn't think that there *is* an answer out there right now.
Avatar n tn 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.
671251 tn?1236116671 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.
Avatar n tn It sounds like flax seed (I figured an ointment/liquid form for the eyes, one must read carefully) may be a good ongoing treatment as a simple food additive, if the dog will eat it. Is flax seed a seed? Where does one purchase it - I can check Amazon to see what they offer, but it may be a grocery store item for human consumption. I try to ruse Opt morning and night, and wonder if using it once a day and say "artivicial tears" (for humans) once a day.
Avatar m tn It makes them tons worse. I take a tsp. of flax seed each day and blend them in a smoothie and that doesn't seem to bother me. What brand of plant based omega 3 do you use? After my bad experiences with krill oil, I'm kind of scared to take anything but whole flax seeds.
1976414 tn?1326171323 can I drink boost with flax seed oil in it for the fat content required for incivek doses
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi bam, I buy EPO from my Naturopathic Doctor and they are 1300. I'm allowed to take up to 9 a day, split up as 3/3 times a day, but I only take one dose of 3/day because I find my skin gets oily. You can take EPO throughout your whole cycle because it is an essential oil that is good for your whole body.
Avatar n tn My husband has severe dry eyes, and has started taking omega 3 and flax seed oil. It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
574118 tn?1305135284 htm strange it mentions the omega3-fatty acid. I have a friend epileptic, his father swears that flax seed oil ( linseed ) got him cured from epilepsy. I don't believe. So the relationship bipolarepilepsy can be sound and that bipolarity is partly neurological and partly psychological. This clarifies why drugs like anticonvulsents have a mood stabilization effect.
Avatar f tn Yeah I only ever leak a little out of one breast but have never had any supply problems when feeding my 2 kids.
Avatar f tn 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.
