My diet mostly consists of cheerios orange juice a banana and a shot of flaxseed oil in the morning and 2 or 3 small portions of brown pasta and chicken the rest of the day
I also run 30 - 50 minutes whenever possible
I have only been doing this for about a month but I still see growth
Is it the chocolate and soda? Is the flaxseed oil helping or hurting?
Is there anything more I should be doing?

I did take 1 tablesppon of flaxseed oil before leaving to work and didnt plan to eat or take my morning riba till I got to work. While driving to work within 15 min's I felt the effects of the riba from last nite kick in again. Mind you I only had the flax in my system. So fat does play a big part.
I have to vaccum the house nearly everyday and it seems that the hair fall has increased tremendously. The hair he sheds is not fluffy soft hair but its more thick hair. He is fit and fine no trouble with his diet or any other activity. He doesnt scratch or itch so i dont think its an allergy. He gives out a lot of dog dander though which is a worry as i am allergic to it.
What i do to make my hair healthier is that i make a hair pack that contains egg glycerin castor oil and vinegar..
See the growth cycle of hair is in two phases, anagen or growth phase and telogen or resting phase. During telogen, the resting hair remains in the follicle until it is pushed out by growth of a new anagen hair. In telogen effluvium, a large number of hair enter telogen at one time.
If hair loss persists then you need to get this possibility evaluated from a trichologist.
You really only need to drop your LDL by 20 points, which is not very much. Do a low fat diet, not empty carbs like breads, sugars and pastas. Add fruits and veggies as well. The easiest way is to cut out fast foods so if you indulge in burgers and fries, stop and that alone will bring your number down.
Is there a reason why you don't want to take a statin?
I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue.
I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.
The Budwig diet is mainly composed of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese with restrictions on eating animal meats, butter and sugars. Some holistic health enthusiasts believe that cancer patients are deficient in essential lipids that cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed can replace. The scientific journal “Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift” published a study in 2012 that determined that cancer diets, such as the Budwig, diet do not cure cancer and can have adverse health effects.
High contents of:
Calcium:
High calcium usually indicates depletion of calcium and deposition into hair.bio-unavailability of calcium might affect cell renewal cycle and cause hair loss or disturbed hair growth.
Magnesium:
High magnesium level in the hair denotes loss of magnesium through hair resulting in deficiency symptoms like depression and hyper irrritibality. This depression might interrupt with the cell renewal process in the follicle leading to hair loss.
I have very dry skin, which has been worse since I've been having thyroid problems - I had been taking flaxseed oil, but the doctor suggested that I try fish oil instead (3000 mg/ day), as it's more easily absorbed. It made a real difference - for the better :-) You should probably ask your doctor, but if they have no objections, it could be quite helpful.
My first baby lost a ton of hair a few weeks after she was born it just thinned out a ton. I don't think there is anything you can do about it. But she's 3 now and her hair is nice and beautiful it goes all the way down to her tush. If she does get cradle cap the only think that worked for my girls were using head & shoulders And then I would put coconut oil or baby oil on after and comb Out the flakes.
im looking for other things to do to improve my heart health, like going to gym, eliminating salt intake and dietry changes and im just concerned with safety and drug interactions.will taking fish oil, flaxseed, and making parsley herbal tea be safe or should they be avoided?. i also have been using coconut oil in my coffee with agave and in my smoothies ive read so many differant articles stating all the benefits of using coconut oil,fish oil, flaxseed, parssley tea. can i benefit from them?
I would listen to your cardiologist or internal medicine doctor if they are very familiar with this situation. Omega 3 fish oil and flaxseed oil can both sometimes increase bleeding in patients taking blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin), apirin, and plavix. In diabetics on glucose lowering drugs there is some evidence that suggest that flaxseed oil may increase fasting blood sugar levels.
