Hi Kamala,

I have been reading about the flaxseed. After additional research, I decided to jump on the flaxseed wagon. Would you send me the price and shipping information? Thanks.

Its real simple girl...send me your mailing address...I can only accept checks, money orders or paypal for the flax (I can do credit cards on the concentrated fruit, veggie and berry extracts) and I will get you a qt or a gal out.

1 quart = 1 month's supply and is $16 plus s/h
1 gallon = 4 month's supply and is $45 plus s/h

I will then email/pm you the shipping costs or you can get it off the label if I forget and go from there.

So what size do you want? I'm really glad you are trying it...you'll love it!!! kamala

Hey WW...got some crud and I read that flaxseed was both anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Does that mean I should take more of it since I'm sick and will it help me to fight off my crud? Also, should I take more of my fruit and veggie and berry extracts?

Hey girl...I'm sorry you are feeling bad and you are 100% right...flax is antibacterial and antiviral so increasing or in many people's cases actually taking it twice a day and not forgetting the night time 'flax fix' will help your body ward off whatever its fighting. If you are doing your 'flax fix' twice a day already...go ahead and add a mid-day dose...you'll be surprised that the energy you'll get from it. And you can increase from 2 T to 3 T each dose to 'boost' it up!

And most certainly...do 'double up' on your fruit, veggie and berrys in a capsule...you need antioxidents from fruits and veggies and this has them sans water, sugar and salt!

Keep me posted on how you are doing...and let me know how the 'boosting' works for you! -ww

Hey WW!!

I'm doing so much better than I was! As you know, I work in a small area with a lot of people in it and most of them have young children. Well, we’ve had the flu and upper respiratory crud going around here for the last 6 weeks to 2 months. We’ve had as many as 10 people out sick at one time which is really high since there are only 60 or so of us to begin with.

So, I had an upper respiratory infection along with a sinus infection and I followed your advice. I doubled up on flax and on my juice + and I'm well! Plus, it only took 4 days to get rid of that stuff....my co-workers are amazed...and some of them have been sick for 4 weeks now…I’m sold on flax and juice+!!

Hi WW;
I'm glad I dropped in on this thread.
Way back in 1991, I got pretty sick but I was fortunate enough to have a physician who not only practiced traditional allopathic medicine, but also was strong believer in naturopathic/alternative medicine treatments. He started me on a host of vitamins and herbs, which I still take today(some say that that is just expensive urine), but I haven't been sick since except maybe mild colds. Recently I added Flax Seed Oil to my daily routine(1000 3 X a day).
My question is about the extracts. Is their a web site I can look at to see if I want to add these as well?
Thanks;

I am happy to report my first order of Flax seed arrived yesterday. (Thanks WW) I had my first flax fix this morning. I have also started a journal. I thought it would be interesting to track the changes in diet and body.
The new diet plan will include the flax and adding more fruits and veggies.
Drinking more water.
Any other suggestions? I am looking to up my energy and reduce my weight and body fat.

I'll be happy to send you more info...what do you want? Medical summaries or the complete research studies? Product overviews? other? PM me and I'll do my best!

It sounds like you have been using an excellent vitamin...however vitamins are extremely limited. Why? Well for starters the typical mutli-vitamin has 20-30 individual nutrients in it. Not bad...in fact that is pretty good.

Know how many individual nutrients are in a single apple???

Try 10,000 unique vitamins, minerals and nutrients. In fact every peice of produce averages 8000-10000 nutrients. So whereas some vitamins can be good...many are mass produced and offer very little in terms of real nutrient value...and ALL are solely lacking in thousands of vital and I believe necessary nutrients!

Whats that you say? You don't need them all? 20-30 is fine? Well I'm not sure I want to eliminate them...afterall...if God or nature went to all the effort to create thousands of nutrients in a single peice of food...how can we attempt to adequately recreate that? Or arbitrarily eliminate them?

And now we aren't certain that our ideas about fractionated vitamins are that sound...recent studies are now showing that for example taking too much vitamin E is not safe. The levels were of notable concern as they represented an amount less that what most people megadose at.

And the whole process of how the body actually breaks down a vitamin is whole another thread...but it may change your whole philosophy of taking vitamins vs. whole food. -ww

I thought I would send out a Flax update. I have been using flax for less than a month now and thinks are changing. I have been taking 2 tablespoons morning and night. I just recently started a lunch dose.
I have noticed my engergy level is higher, I am sleeping better and I have never been more regular.
I have been losing weight. I am down at least 5 pounds. I also have found my food cravings are changing. I have never been a big soda drinker but every now and then would crave a coke. I went to enjoy one the other day and found it was not apealing so I had a glass of water instead. I find that I am wanting more fruits and veggies.
I had been using my blender to grind the seeds. WW was out this last weekend with her flax and coffee grinder. The coffee grinder is the best way to go. You get a great powder to mix with no unground seeds. They are small enough to take to work for the lunch dose.

What do you mix your lunch dose with? Or do you just snaffle on a feed bag and munch away?

Edited by drdiver, 04 May 2005 - 01:13 PM.

[Cold_H2O]

Well I have been taking juice to mix it with, but I'm kind of liking the whole feed bag and muching away plan.. I might have to try that next time. Thanks for the idea.. Hummm how big of a feed bag will I need?

[drdiver]

well, I've been using it for 2 months and haven't seen a bit of difference. But that could just be that I'm contrary and political and all that. Freedom loving Americans just don't benefit from free radical suppressing antioxidants. I'm thinking I could adapt my Sherwood Maximus as a feed bag...............

[casematic]

Seems like you mentioned grinding up the flaxseed.... Which grinder would you recommend...and is there a courseness to achieve optimal benefits?

Thanks

You can get any small electric coffee grinder available at Walmart, Drug Stores & even Grocery Stores for about $9-15.

You need to fresh grind your flax right before you are going to use it to prevent it from oxidizing and going rancid. (Think banana or apple here...how long after cutting them up would you eat them?)

You can grind it course or pulverize it. Just make sure you have no whole seeds left. I personally like it 'flakey' but others like it 'pulverized'. (It will NOT disolve in water so the more you grind it, the more it becomes like butter-ish and sticks together making it harder to get out of the grinder.)

And after you mix it with water...drink it as fast as you can. It will begin to absorb the juice and swell up...when it swells up 5x it size you want that to happen in your body and NOT in your glass!

Any other questions? Keep us posted on your progress! -ww
