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.
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 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.
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.
