Budwig and Milk/Omegasentials

[Guest guest]

I suggest you write directly to Stan Mann: stan

 

The man is on a journey. He'd no more put something toxic in his product than cut off his own foot. He's had some well respected natural foods nutritionists working with him; one in particular is a close friend of mine who writes books on smoothies, nutmilks, and the like.

 

If you put it in your body, all chemicals must be listed in the ingredients by law: http://www.mnwp.org/omega/label.htm (to read the label)

 

As far as there not being any testimonials, well, this I don't know. I'm only a journalist who researched this stuff and published a lot about it. If people don't write me testimonials, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Nobody's ever written me a testimonial about Budwig either. I do know of a handful of people using the product who were supposed to be dead by now, but not being dead is not the same as being healed of cancer.

Saying that something is stabilized and then saying it is a “trade secret†is like companies who say on their supplement bottles “proprietary blendâ€. The concern is that they can “say†that all they want, but are the ingredients actually in the product and what’s to keep them from changing them up, or not adding them at all, etc. The trade secret should be “amounts and exact process†of whatever they are using, not the ingredient(s) that are used. Could they be stabilizing it with a synthetic chemical process or gas or a food-glaze? These are things that need to be asked. I don’t blame them for not patenting the process and that doesn’t concern me at all. I would do the same. However, I’m sure they understand that someone, somewhere will reverse engineer and duplicate their results. It always happens.I don’t dispute that it is stable, but I want to know “why†and “how†not the trade secret as in exact recipe, etc. There are a lot of companies that come out with good products or good modalities, but they go on to adulterate them with excipients, toxic preservatives that mimic estrogen (parabens), binders, etc. People with disease are already on toxic overload and they don’t need any more added through their “health program.â€

Please don’t get offended, David. I am not attacking

anyone personally or their “journey.” We are all on a

journey. I did some quick research and found a study that indicates that the

presence of endogenous antioxidants in milled flaxseed may

account for the stability that was observed (time period of 4 months). I

notice that Stan has also added a lot more antioxidants. I assume that

everything he is adding is organic but I don’t see this indicated

anywhere on the site. Possibly I missed it. So I would guess from

this and the interview below the stabilizing is from the high additions of

antioxidants along with the cold-milled process that is being used in Canada.

Which, in the article, he says is patented. This is good and I am glad to

see that chemicals are not used. YEA! I see from the site that he

studied the works of Dr. Budwig but I do not see where he is recommending that

people following the Budwig protocol use his product rather than grinding fresh

flax seed. When high amounts of flax seed oil are taken such as the BP

requires (more than 2-3 tablespoons daily) the body can be depleted of certain

vitamins and will not use the flax oil efficiently. It is the

emulsification process that takes place between the FO and cottage cheese that

allows the oil to be broken down into a useable and soluble form.

 

Because of the high amounts of antioxidants that are added along with the tuna

oil, I would not recommend this product for those following the Budwig

Protocol.

SM is Stan and CLC is the person doing the interview. For

the whole interview to to: http://www.integritydirectinc.com/omega-genesis.php

 

SM: The herbs you are tasting in OMEGASENTIALS , are rosemary and sage. The herbs, although

they lend a delicious, subtle flavor to the product, - were combined with flax

primarily, to provide antioxidant values. Many people aren’t aware of the

fact that the oils in flax must be protected from oxygen. To protect the

delicate composition of fatty acids in the flax, we first stabilize the flax

using a patented process. This prevents rancidity. Then, to help in the

metabolism of the fatty acids within the body, - and to keep them from

destruction by free radicals, the antioxidant herbs are added. I added rosemary

to the flax, because research showed that it had 4-5 times the antioxidant

value of vitamin E.

CLC: Are there other antioxidant factors you add to OMEGASENTIALS?

SM: Rice bran is another ingredient I chose, because of its

vitamins and minerals, which enhance and protect the integrity of the flax.

CLC: You feature an ingredient known as inulin on your product

label. For our readers, what do you derive inulin from, and what impact does it

have on the balance of your product?

SM: Inulin, is a carbohydrate like substance that is isolated

from chicory root, and used to manufacture fructose. This ingredient encourages

the proliferation of good bacteria in the intestine. Coupled with the lignans

in flaxseed, it makes for a dynamic ‘housekeeping duo’ inside the

body.

CLC: Can you talk a little bit, about the co factors that you

add to the flax itself and why they are important?

SM: In order for flaxseed and essential fatty acids to be

metabolized properly, vitamins are needed. If flaxseed is eaten plain, without

co factors such as B6, B12, and zinc, the flax will deplete the body of these

nutrients. Since most people are already deficient in these vitamins,

especially vegetarians- to some degree, they will be further depleted. Flax

oil, for instance, is shown to deplete the body of vitamin E. I have added

vitamins E and C, and the B vitamins, as well as zinc, folic acid and

riboflavin, which act as a reliable delivery system for Omega 3 fatty acids.

CLC: Flaxseed, I know, contains calcium. Yet, you fortified it

with more calcium.

SM: Actually, I fortified the flax with both magnesium and

calcium. Calcium absorption is dependent on magnesium. And many people, are

deficient in both. Many women are concerned about getting enough calcium, so

they load up on calcium supplements. But, unfortunately, many of the calcium

supplements don’t contain magnesium, or they are made from highly

non-absorbable forms of calcium.

CLC: I’m curious to know why you added tuna oil to OMEGASENTIALS . As a vegetarian, I

wasn’t sure at first, if I could embrace this ingredient, but I

don’t notice any kind of fishy taste to the flax, and, -- I’m

trusting that there is a good reason you put it into the product.

SM: A very small amount of tuna oil is added to OMEGASENTIALS ,

and although a small amount is added, it has some very large benefits. It

provides DHA-the last in the series of Omega 3 fatty acids, which is critical

for the health of the brain and the eyes. The research on DHA is growing every

day. And it is showing us that it may help with widespread imbalances such as

learning disorders, and perhaps even conditions like Alzheimer’s.

Tuna oil? The fish oil I use is from sardines and anchovy. I was interested in trying this, but, I would be very concerned about a product using tuna. How is the mercury removed? Tuna is one of the most highly polluted fish.
