Flaxseed

[Guest guest]

Thank you Lynda and JhGarrett(James?) for the info- I will keep grinding my seeds and drinking them with my smoothies.

I'm psyched to try a smoothie with coconut water, fruits, flax and gogi juice

I am continuously enlightened by my family of high consciousness brothers and sisters

forever healthy and live

Lynda your statements about flax are

excellent. Here are some others from www.garynull.com:

 

1. Dr. Alan H. Pressman

Researchers

at Duke University found that when prostate cancer patients ate a low

fat diet supplemented with flaxseed for 5 weeks, the malignant cells

began dividing more slowly and died at a greater rate than those of men

who did not follow the protocol.

 

2. Flaxseed oil is at the top of the list for

prostaglandin replenishment. It is an excellent remedy for depression

and fatigue, and it is also good for the skin and the immune system.

Additionally, flaxseed oil is known to lower cholesterol and to make

insulin more effective.

 

3. Flaxseed oil is especially medicinal

for individuals who require an oil change in that it has an exceptional

concentration (about 40%) of the thinnest, most flexible

alpha-linolenic oil of all seeds and nuts. Flaxseed oil is a

traditional food oil in parts of Eastern Europe such as the Ukraine.

Antioxidants are abundant in oils that are freshly pressed by old

fashioned methods available before the modern hot steel rollers used so

widely today. Its effectiveness in treating a wide variety of skin,

hair and nail problems and much deeper underlying medical disorders is

owed to its capacity to restore flexibility to cell membranes and

replenish the supply of raw materials for prostaglandin hormone

synthesis.

 

4. Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra says that too much

insulin, insulin resistance, or ineffective insulin, not fats, causes

heart disease. Dr. Sinatra’s heart-healing nutritional approach, which

he calls the Mediterranean diet, contains about 50 percent coarse

carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, about 20 percent protein, and

up to 30 percent healthy fat. Dr. Sinatra states, "The healthy fats I

recommend are from fish and flaxseed. I have a phytoestrogen shake,

which I recommend to both men and women in my practice, and which I

take myself. It uses soy milk, which contains healthy fat, with

ground-up flaxseed, which has a lot of omega 3's.

 

5. Flaxseed:

contains linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that reduces the

formation of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins of PG-2

series. These prostaglandins induce inflammatory responses in the lungs

(asthma), the joints (arthritis), the skin (psoriasis), and other body

organs. Prostaglandins may also contribute to the development of

tumors. Flaxseed is a cereal grain that Europeans and Canadians consume

in large quantities in their cereals and breads.

 

6. Fiber

supplements are the next best way to speed things up. Try drinking a

fiber mix at the start of your day that combines insoluble fiber (such

as psyllium husk or alfalfa) and soluble fiber (such as pectin from

apple, pear or pea). For a laxative effect, add ground flaxseeds to

cereals or shakes, or supplement with a teaspoon of flaxseed oil.

Vitamin C, especially in buffered powdered form, is a natural stool

softener. Magnesium in a dose of 500 mg per day helps maintain normal

contraction/relaxation of muscles in the colon (known as peristalsis)

to allow for regular bowel movements.

 

7. The hemp plant can be processed

into the strongest, yet softest, fibers for paper and fabric

production. Its seeds contain all the essential amino acids, and more

essential fatty acids than borage, flaxseed or evening primrose oil.

The seeds were used traditionally as an ingredient in breads and soups

(they contain only a very tiny amount of the hallucinogenic compound

THC). Use of cannabis in healing was common, and, until 1957, the

American pharmacopoeia recommended it for over 100 diseases.

 

8. Polyunsaturated fats, like those found in flaxseed oil,

and fish are precursors for Omega 3's, such as DHA and EPA, which

prevent clotting of blood and stickiness of platelets. Research shows

that these fats can get into the blood vessels and stabilize plaque.

Hormonal Restoration in Young Women: The Big Seven

Hormonal imbalances in

most young women (PMS, irregular bleeding, and endometriosis) can be

reversed with the following three-pronged approach: (A) therapies that

restore injured cell membranes; (B) therapies that facilitate entry of

natural hormones into the cells; and © therapies that enhance the

function of hormones on their target cells. Specifically, the author's

list of the big seven include the following: 1. Avoid synthetic

hormones.* 2. Eat soy products (learn from Asian women) who rarely

develop breast cancer. 3. Maintain optimal hydration and learn about

water therapies. 4. Take essential oils, including flaxseed oil 5.

Repair injured cell membranes with nutrient and herbal protocols. 6.

Restore battered bowel-blood-liver eosystems with nutrients and herbs.

7. Consider plant-derived raw materials for hormones, such as wild yam,

black cohosh, dong quai, macca, chaste tree, licorice, black haw, hops,

yarrow, and sarsaparilla. In many cases, use of plant-derived

estrogens, progesterones and testosterone is advisable under medical

supervision.

 

10. The other thing we use is a

high-quality flaxseed oil. This provides the

essential fatty acids for the development of the brain, nervous system,

and cell

membranes.
