Rumor has it that your bowels might spontaneously combust. I recommend the Hardee's Monster Thickburger instead.

Ok...ignore Jamie....here's the REAL poop!!! ....er...I mean scoop! :teeth:

The minimum therapuetic amount is 4 T a day...2T in the morning to fuel the body all day and 2T at night to help the body heal and sleep properly.

You should only take less if you are child (take half that amount) or if you have IBS, Crohn's Disease, leaky gut etc. Then we need to start you off with 1tsp daily working up to 1 tsp twice daily until you slowly get to 4 T a day.

You can take more if you want and many people who are trying to quit smoking will chew on them as the release of B vitamins helps with the cigarette cravings. You can also use it as a mid-day snack or to offset sweet cravings etc.

The owner consumes about a cup per day of seeds which is about 2 cups ground up. He is 84 years old...has the energy of a 25 year old and looks like he is in his 50's. He amazes me so I have been increasing my consumption and feel more energy as well.

I hope this answers your question. I would slowly build up if you did decide to consume more flax then the 4T a day. DO KEEP YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION UP!!! Otherwise it will make you constipated rather then regular.

Note: Those of you on a high protein diet...you will need to drink even more water and will need to do the minimum of 4T of flax or more daily to offset the toxins and poisens in the heavy protein diet you are on. Keep in mind that flaxseed is a fibrous protien so it is a very healthy plant based protein.

Hey WW-

Okay, you've got me convinced that I need to at least try the flax seed. I've been following the thread for awhile and it certainly sounds like others have felt similar effects.

What's a good starting amount to get? How much $? And how long (taking it faithfully of course) until I start feeling some effects?

Hey girl that is great news! You'll really benefit from the flax...of course everyone would benefit as flax is nearly the most perfect food we have.

Start with 1T am and pm for the first few days. If no problems then increase to 2T am and pm. Mix with a good sized glass of juice or juice/water mixture. I prefer juice but many prefer to dilute the juice which is fine too.

There are two sizes you can get and November is Free Shipping Month so the qt size is $16 and will last you a month and the gallon is $45 and will last you 4 months. Shipping is about $3 on the qt and about $5-6 on the gallon.

The flaxseed works more synergistically with the massive amounts of anti-oxidants from the concentrated fruit and veggie and berry extracts see

this thread on them!

However....you should feel more balanced....more energy....more full...etc in about 1-2 weeks. When taking at night you should sleep better within about a week.

Your order will ship out tomorrow and I look forward to hearing back on your results.

Question for all Flax and Concentrated Fruit, Veggie & Berry extract users....
Would you like a private user forum that you all can talk to each other about your results...successes...questions and concerns? We can set one up on the board since we have so many people using the products. Let me know what you all think about this. -ww

Hey WW -

I received my order about 3 days ago - THANKS! I'm already seeing some differences...

I feel full for most of the day - very few hunger pangs
I'm pretty 'clean' now as well (or is that too much information?) :evilgrin:

Thanks again!
Terri

Well you've also gotten the best diet aid I know of to beat the holiday 'gain's. In fact you can do a flaxseed cleanse by doing flax several times a day! It has plenty of calories to keep your metabolism up and it will cleanse the holiday crap you've over indulged in right out of you! Yes pun intended!!! :cool1:

Anyone else? I'll even extend the FREE shipping offer until 12-10 for anyone who wants to try it! -ww

Hmm....much less painful then constipation!!!  Or a stint in the hospital???? Sorry gang....just couldn't resist!!  Gotta forgive your 'loving' :wub: nutritionist! I promise it won't hurt for long!!!  :teeth:

I can attest to that. I had a bowel obstruction over the 4th of July weekend and had to spend the night in the hospital with a tube down my nose. If that hadn't worked they would have had to open me up. I hated that tube but I guess it was better then the knife.

Hey Kamala. If you are going to the December happy hour on the 11th please bring me a jug of flax seed that we had in Athens, I will settle with you then. Oh and no delivery charges please.
