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.
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.
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.
I am 26 weeks and finally found out what will get rid of it. I take ground flax seeds and eat it on oatmeal and I was drinking fresh juice made with my juicer. I haven't done either of these things for a week or so and I'm still not constipated. I'm not sure which one was helping or if it was a combination of both, but it really got rid of it. For the first time in 10 pregnancies I'm not in pain when I go to the restroom. If you really want to get rid of it, try this.
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.
I have tried different brands of fish oil on different occassions as well as my husband. 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.
I'm dealing with this issue since november. I am also an IBS'r but was always a problem of frequent going, not at all. Nov and Dec have been bad once a week I would have to take a bunch of laxatives because I couldn't go on my own. Have now started ground flaxseed in a smoothie everyday like Twopack.
