Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hi, I will post a heart document for what it is worth. Cliff ******** Application of Flax Oil to Heart problems A few years ago a group of French researchers was attempting to find the best diet for preventing Heart problems. They turned to the people of Crete, who have the lowest rates of heart disease and cancer in the world. What they found is baffling American science. The Cretans eat more fat than any other people in the world Their diet is almost half fat; 35% Olive Oil and 15% animal fat. Although Crete and southern Italy are only a few hundred kilometers apart and both eat a Mediterranean diet the Cretans have 90% fewer deaths from heart attacks than their Italian neighbors. They eat as much animal fat as the citizens of Finland who have the highest rate of heart problems in the world. The French doctors took 605 volunteers who had had heart attacks and divided them into two groups. One group went on the medically approved diet and the other group went on the Cretan diet. These ate a significant amount of meat, fish, wine, olive oil and a significant amount of Purslane and English Walnuts, the only real difference in the two diets. The results were astounding. Those on the medically recommended diet had 6 times as many deaths as those on be Cretan diet. The key to the successful Cretan diet was the high amount of alpha-Linolenic acid as a result of eating Perslane and English Walnuts. Flaxseed oil has 56% of this same material. Sudden death from heart attacks is due to rhythmic disturbance called ventricular fibrillation. Omega 3 fatty acid has a strong antiarrythmic effect. There were no sudden deaths in the Cretan diet group, and there were eight sudden deaths in the medically approved group. About two and a half years ago a good friend of mine had a bad heart attack and a triple bypass was done. He immediately began using flax oil and has gotten along fine. The doctor said he had done the best of anyone he had ever treated. A former sister-in-law has had the same experience. A few weeks back a man called us from Idaho to get information on the effect of Flax oil on cancer. He knew what it would do for heart problems. He told me that he was seventy-eight and a year ago he was in a doctor's office with a 95% heart blockage on one side and a 90% blockage on the other side. He said the doctor wanted to do an angioplasty but he wouldn't allow it. The doctor told him he might not make it home. He said he went home and began using flax oil and today he is fine. His color is good, he does anything he wants to and he has not been back to the doctor's office since. One of my wife's brothers has had a bad heart for several years. He's disabled and has real problems. He started to use Flax oil but the doctor warned him against it because it contains fat. Actually, there are fats that hurt and fats that help. A short time ago I either saw on the internet or another publication that the melting point of cholesterol is over 300 degrees. If one uses lecithin the melting point becomes 190 degrees. If one uses lecithin and flaxseed oil both, cholesterol will become liquid at less than body temperature. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 cLIFF Was cottage cheese taken with the flax oil? Would Omega 3 fish oil work as well?
