A friend of mine suggested sprinkling a little bit of ground flax seed on food. I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a shot.
Note that if you were to take a purified flaxseed oil, you would get the omega-3s but not the fiber or phytochemicals naturally present in flax. You would avoid the cyanogenic compounds, but the risk of rancidity would remain.
If you are interested in using flaxseed oil, look for a brand that contains all the beneficial compounds found in the intact seed. These include the phytochemicals known as lignans.
Flaxseed oils should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Jasmine, if you've tried all of those things then the next step is unfortunately finding a doc to work with you. There are some prescription meds that can be tried, and you should have some testing done depending on what your medical history is, what a physical exam reveals, and what the doc feels would be the right course to try to find out what's going on. I know it can be very difficult to find a doc when you have Medicaid, but you're going t have to keep trying.
t find the flax seed meal, look for the whole flax seeds and grind them yourself. Be sure to keep all flax seed in the refrigerator. If this is not available in China, you might be able to find psyllium husk. In America it is often sold as Metamucil, but I recommend against buying the brands like Metamucil, because these have additives in them, like artificial sweeteners and artificial flavorings. These additives are things you should definitely avoid.
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 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.
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.
Ugh i hate it! Im 19w 2d and i have this lovely cycle of constipation, normal & then diarrhea. Been like this since the beginning. I eat healthy & try to do more natural things to help but doc said metamucil is fine to take.
re not constipated (super easy to get constipated with the extra weight from the baby putting pressure on your bowls). I added chia seeds and flax seed to oatmeal and smoothies, ate fresh fruit and incorporated more greens. I also tried to limit dairy. Warm lemon water helps too! This will make bowl movements less painful. Also, go when you gotta go if you know what I mean. Holding it will put strain on the blood vessels and cause hemorrhoids.
Eat lots of yogurt and greens.
So here are some natural methods to relieve the symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Dietary Guidelines -The daily diet should include milled flax seed, 3 or more tbsp., or cold-pressed, unrefined flax seed oil. Flax seed and its oil contain the essential fatty acid omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, which the body converts into hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins help relieve the inflammation of fibromyalgia.
