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.
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 have since quit the liquid flax oil and switched to powdered flax meal. I currently have another attack of the acid reflux. My Ear, Nose and Throat doctor suggested I see a gastroenterologist.
If the oil was the primary cause the the acid reflux ( I took it for 4 months) will the reflux go away if I cut out the aggravating foods? I stopped these foods for 2 months and I still have the reflux. I'm taking Prisolex at the advice of my doctor.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
