Earl,

I was reading Dr. Klapper's section on Nutritional strategies for inflamed joints and he recommends taking two to three tablespoons of flax oil..... so now I am confused.....Please reply

Painful joints appear to be caused by helicobacter. Flax oil by causing free

radical production may have taken out the helicobacter, hopefully.

flax oil

Personally I have found that flax oil seems to " loosen

up " my joints. It's almost as if I had poured the oil

directly on the squeaky parts. :)

Has this ever happened to any of you guys?

Adreas,

Flax is the plant from which linen is woven. The oil is from the seed.

Here it is sold in health food stores. I imagine you can find it online.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Dani-

I have been reading the flax oil messages ( because I have been so

curious about finding out peoples oppinions about it), but I had

never heard of anyone mentioning the cereal and bread that contained

it.

I will buy the oil at the store and use it. In the cereal and bread

it tastes fine, so hopefully I won't have a problem with the oil. We

will see!

I have been eating more salmon, so that should help too!.

Sorry for the repetition, I know that there is a flax discussion

about 2x a week!

Anu,

Flax oil is one of my favorite subjects. I like the taste of the

oil; I think it tastes nutty, but even if you don't like it, you

should be able to take it in shakes or with your cottage cheese.

I've never tried flax seeds, but I've heard they're also beneficial

and contain fiber to boot.

Flax oil is a " good fat " and will keep your skin from getting flaky

and looking like exczema(sp?) and your hair from getting dry. The BFL

way of eating is fairly lowfat and you have to replace it with the

good stuff. You can do the capsules though reportedly the real oil

is better. I can't do the oil either, makes me gag. Another thing you

can do is swirl some natural(not Jif or Skippy, the natural with the

oil on top--stir it first)peanut butter into your protein shakes or

your oatmeal. That is also a good fat. CLA works too. Just read the

labels. Don't overdo the peanut butter. Hope this helps.

The one I got wasn't in the fridge either, it was on the shelf. The

bottle just said refrigerate after opening so I'm sure yours is ok.

I just read about not taking Flax oil myself and wondered the same thing. My

doctor recently diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and told

me to talk flax. I just asked for another Lyme test and it came back postive

and also have scattered lesions on my brain from the MRI results. I'd better

stop taking it until I know for sure.......I'm curious to hear why Lyme people

shouldn't take it also.....

when i was out of town and couldnt make my shake every morning

(horrible! i feel like i cants start my morning without my shake, it's

totally replaced my coffee ritual), i was carrying around a bottle of

flax oil in my little cooler and i'd just shake a tablespoon on to a

pile of spinach, add a bit of blue cheese and other saladystuffs and eat

it. i developed quite a taste for it. it's very mild and nutty. (like me!)

but, i'm boring and i really do just like to put mine in the blender

every morning.

I DETEST the taste of flax seed oil! However, I find that I don't

get the gag reflex if I swallow it fast, then chew a Viactive

(chocolate flavor)....and do not breath in until the Viactive is all

chewed up. The things we do for health. :)

I got mine at Walmart - they sell it in pill form, oil form and seed form. I

take 1 Tblsp/day in a protein drink or shake. This is my first week on it.

Flax Oil

I think I'm ready to start taking flax oil. Are there many brick and

morter stores that sell it or is it best to buy online? Is there

something I should look for when I buy it or is it all pretty much

the same? And finally, how much should I take a day? I am 160 lbs.

Thanks, Sunshine :o)

Moonbeam said flax oil is good.

Please see Johanna Budwig's work as to WHY

flaxseed oil needs to be thoroughly mixed

with yoghurt for best results.

Cod liver oil contains naturally occurring Vitamin D and Vitamin A,

in addition to Omega 3's, if processed correctly.

I just did a comparison of three Cod Liver Oils: Arctic CLO by

Nordic Naturals, Garden of Life Olde World Icelandic CLO and

Carlson's CLO. Of the three Garden of Life contains more nutrients

per teaspoon.

> Do you take it and how is the taste? :-).

I haven't tried Carlson's but I have taken the other two. Garden of

Life is flavoured with lemon too and I don't find the taste

objectionable.

Just another brick in the wall...:) thought I would share the info from an

alternative health care practioner. I asked his thoughts on Budwig and he said

that subsequent studies have shown the flax is not the best choice for

EFAs/omega 3s. That cod liver oil or a vegeterian based whole food supplement

from a

reputable company was a more complete oil, with better

asorbtion/assimilation. He went on to say that the sulfur can be obtained from

other food sources,

taking it with like even a salad or baked potatoe. Just wanted to pass along

what he said. Donna

No expert here, however I do not think the Budwig 'Flax Oil' protocol is

simply for the EFAs or the Sulfa.

It seems that the sulfated proteins in the cottage cheese are supposed to

make the Flax Oil water soluble thereby making it more readily available to

the body.

Does it do that? Beats me, I'm no scientist.

Hi Joe,

This has been the subject of much discussion at the AdvancingBudwigProtocol

group (). After much discussion (some actually scientific), I don't

believe they've reached a consensus on why FO/CC mixed should be any better for

anything than FO alone. Health cures aside, it is certainly nutritious, and I

include FO/CC in my morning smoothie every day.

Hello, On the Flaxoil and cottage cheese subject all I can say is this, My

dog " Shilo " a Golden Retriever was diagnosed with Leukemia in March 1999 and

was pronounced to me by the Vets at the University Of Minnesota that he would be

dead in about two weeks. Well they were a little off on their prediction

because Shilo is still alive and doing well and its May of 2005. The day that

they

announced his death sentence I stuck him on Flaxoil and cottage cheese and as

God is my witness he was better immedietely . If your interested here is

Shilo's webpage http://home.earthlink.net/~texas2step/ShilosTale.html He

still

gets his flaxoil and cottage cheese and he is a very healthy 10 year old dog.

Thanks, Kirk Heckel

I don't have the recipe for making it at home but in my documentation the

Breakstone brand is recommended. Perhaps someone else will have better

knowledge, I've wondered about it for a long time and haven't seen anything at

all in the forum regarding the brand. I have a book (can't remember which one

right now) and in it, it said to use Breakstone.

found

a good quality product here is australia......the store bought cc was high salt

like you have found.
