I added 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to my diet for the past year. I was very discouraged when I received the results of my lipid panel results. Last year: total chol.=238, trig.=59, HDL=101, LDL=125. This year: total chol.=240, trig.=67, HDL=98, LDL=128. My bad numbers went up and my good number (HDL) went down. Why?

The healthful components of the flaxseeds become available to us once the seeds are cracked or ground, but the process also increases the susceptibility to oxidation. This is why ground flaxseed should be stored in airtight containers and kept in the refrigerator once opened.
One other aspect that relates to toxicity is the fact that flaxseed contains cyanogenic (cyanide producing) compounds.
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.

Depending on a patient’s particular profile, I suggest either the Dean Ornish heart-reversal diet or the South Beach Diet. If you know anything about heart disease, the Ornish diet is better because it
most effectively cleanses the system of excess fat.The South Beach Diet is usually for those with risk factors but no known heart disease. This diet allows more latitude and can still get a person to the recommended targets.

At a semenar I attended once they talked about eczema. Or bodies don't produce the essential acids our skin needs so we must get it through our diet. Try an omega 3 supplement or flaxseed oil.

s a real food item that is often added to baked goods, whether as whole flax seeds or as flaxseed meal. I advise against the whole flax seeds. It needs to be flaxseed meal (ground up) in order to be effective. FYI: The flax leaves are what is used to make true linen. They are stripped down to their fibers and woven into cloth.

I think I'm going to do the baby aspirin and probably continue to do the flaxseed but maybe just less of it. My DH and I don't get to eat a lot of fish so I know my diet could use the fatty acids. I had a major surgery this past January and I was told to stop taking fish oil before the surgery because it is a blood thinner. So that's why I was wondering if the flaxseed is a thinner as well!

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.

100pg/mL is a severe vitamin B12 deficiency state. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes numerous adverse health effects including abdominal pain and muscle weakness. 80% of vegans are found to be deficient in vitamin B12.

Also, does anyone know if taking flaxseed oil makes your oestrogen dominant? I take flaxseed oil for omega 3, 6 as I'm scared of fish oil and mercury... but I just read that flaxseed oil has plant oestrogen and has oestrogen-like action, so there is a possible link to estrogen dominance.
Guess only one way to find out..will have to stop taking it and retest.
