Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 From my files Cliff ************ USING FLAXSEED OIL I have been asked different times about how to take flaxseed oil. I will simply tell what we have tried and learned since June 1991. We were basically on our own and still are. Dr. Budwig latest recommendations are one tablespoon of oil per hundred pounds body weight for maintenance of the needed Omega 3 and more to overcome existing problems. We have seen best results with at least two tablespoons beyond maintenance where cancer exists. She suggests at least a half cup of cottage cheese per day. I have used three fourths of a cup. I mix it in the morning, add fruit to give it a good taste and eat part of it two or three times per day. The big thing is to add something to make it taste good. We are frequently asked about substitutes for cottage cheese for those who do not like it or are allergic to it. It seems that soft Tofu will work well. The oil should be mixed in it as much as possible. There is a product called Companion Nutrients [Natures Distributors 1 - 800 - 624 - 7114] that is claimed to work well, and we have seen good success with it. It is not expensive. All the brands of oil are good as long as they are fresh and cold pressed. Flaxseed oil will keep a year in a freezer, four months in a refrigerator, but only three weeks at room temperature. After that it will deteriorate into a transfatty acid that can actually cause cancer. Barlean's [1 - 800 - 445 - 3529] have one advantage in that they will ship wholesale to anyone with a life threatening disease. If one gets over $75.00 worth at one time they will pay surface transportation and for an extra $4.00 or so will ship FedEx. One tablespoon of Flax Oil may be replaced by three tablespoons of seeds, but no more, ground up in a small coffee grinder. The ground seeds must still be used with a sulfur based protein and should be used within ten minutes of grinding due to rapid oxidation. This is not to be construed as advice. This is merely evidence. We do not have medical direction due to lack of research other than what we know of Dr. Budwig's work. We are on our own. Very recently I have begun putting the cottage cheese in a big plastic tumbler and then adding the flaxseed oil and a little milk to make a thinner mixture.. With a little hand held mixer, I have a Rival [a Braun is a little better], about $20.00, I mix the oil and cottage cheese thoroughly. The oil and cottage cheese will combine and the oil cannot even be tasted. However, honey may be added for better taste, and any fruit or juice that does not have sugar added. One man suggested Grey Poupon mustard and thought it was delicious. I tried it and didn't. Whatever works that does not have added sugar.

Then I take it you are saying cottage cheese, tofu and possibly Companion Nutrients are good mediums of delivery because they are a " sulfur based protein " ? Then my goat's milk yogurt would work as an alternative medium, no? Do we have chemists on list who can explain the relationship of flax seed oil and a sulfur based protein? Penel sensitive to cow's milk and any unfermented soy product (like tofu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hi, My feeling is that in all probability the goat's milk yogurt would work as well. It would also probably need to be used 3 times more in volume than the cottage cheese because there is only a third the amount of protein in yogurt per volume as there is in cottage cheese. All I know is that unless the Omega 3 bonds with sulfur based proteins it can actually be dangerous. If it does bond it is readily absorbed and used by the body. There is another thing that I believe would help. Ezekiel Bread, found in health food stores has all the amino acids, including the three that have sulfur bonds. I do not know the amounts needed.
