Recovery from Fibromyalgia
September 11, 2006 - email: stitchluna @ sbcglobal.net
My name is Michele Luna, I have had fibromyalgia
and all of the fun stuff that goes with it since 1982.... shortly after
my first son was born I started getting headaches; after that came muscle
aches in the shoulders, then unrelenting fatigue. All of this
kept getting worse and worse...I spent most of my young life in bed for
2 or 3 days at a time....I could not sleep at night due to the headache
and entire body pain... in the 1980's fibromyalgia was just coming in to
being recognized... I had a young son and a husband and could barely function.
I tried to work and would come home with horrible headaches and muscle
aches and could barely make it.... I was a physical wreck in my 30's.
My young son knew his mom as the woman who spent most of her time
going from doctor to doctor only to be disappointed each time she went...
I had a orthopedic doctor tell me there was nothing he could do for
me....that I was the strangest case he had ever seen....A nuerologist told
me that maybe it was my personality to have all the pain and headaches
I was having..... Went to accupuncturist, I did not like needles
all over me and did nothelp me that much.... I was so tired of being sick
but my life revolved around whatever pain pill the doc gave me that 6 months
or so...I had no energy to go anywhere... Traveling in a car was like torture....
Something I could not do ....... The fatigue was relentless that one feels
with this chronic disease..... I spent day after day in pain, migraine
pain that would not quit and I just wanted to die..... but I didn't...I
just continued on and everybody knew something was not right that my health
was bad..... In 1993 God sent me a wonderful gift...I was 41 years old
and my son Al was 12....I became pregnant with my darling daughter Elisa....
I knew I was too old to have a baby but I was pregnant.... I was worried...How
could I take meds and have a healthy baby?
My obstetrician at the time put me on codiene for pain....So, for 4
or 5 months at a university hospital I was taking codiene and getting bigger
and bigger....My baby was growing...I was happy..... Then I switched doctors
and my new doctor told me flat out that if I had that baby today it would
be addicted to codiene...I was upset and shocked; I quit taking the drug
and for a couple of weeks I could not sleep, I was up all nite and
sweat buckets...but I finally got off of codiene so my baby would be okay.....
I felt better in the last few months of pregnancy pain wise....but being
pregnant at 41 was not easy.... I could not eat alot, I was very
tired most of the time and also was worried about after the delivery...Iknew
I would not stay well ........... well, I went into labor and sure enough
I had a fibromyalgia flare that same day....my doc did me a favor and did
a C section....I had a very cute little girl , She had down
syndrome....I had enough faith in God to know that my little girl and I
would do just fine.... after all love conquers everything.... She was beautiful
and I named her Elisa Marcia Luna.... soon after she was born the fibromyalgia
came back in a big way.... I was so happy with her but was not easy being
a mother to a little one with so many health issues..... I think my family
doctor felt sorry for me so I started taking ultram ( not a good scenario).....
It was the only way I could function and take care of my baby.... I also
was taking flexeril and imitrex.....not to mention advil and doxepin for
sleep.... Yes, I was a typical fibromyalgia patient...I had my drugs
to carry me thru.... and yes, the drugs did help but I had constant
pain issues in the stomach due to all of these meds.... I also stayed constipated
with the ultram.The imitrex was another issue....Yes, it got rid of headache
pain but also raised my blood pressure and I sure did not need that...I
had hypertension as it is..... so for 13 years folks my pills and I were
one...Always pharmacy stops for my meds...and let me tell you without insurance
it was not cheap..... My little girl has asthma and immunity issues so
we lived at the pharmacies.....In 2000 I lost my only son to a car accident;
He was my world, my baby, I was crushed and from that stress
my fibromyalgia stayed active for many many months...... My Al was gone
and the fibromyalgia was hitting me hard.....I came to accept my son's
being taken; after all, I am a very devout Roman Catholic and I had
to remember that Al was God's son first...then mine...He was gift given
to me by God....So, God called him early and I made my peace with it....My
fibromyalgia did not get any better tho.... Anytime I was stressed or had
big weather changes or whatever the fibromyalgia would always get worse.....
This past year I had really been searching for something to help my fibromyalgia...I
had tried guaifenison, different diets, trigger point injections, magnets,
you name it and nothing ever lasted; i tried different supplements
as well...NOTHING EVER LASTED OR HELPED...... So, this past year I had
been searching the internet and found a site about transfactor and immunity...I
was looking for my daughter Elisa who has multiple health issues and a
very, very poor immune system.....l came upon Shirley's Web page, a site
about holistic healing and The transfactor issue. I sent an email to shirley
thinking well, this will take a while before I get a reply, but 15 minutes
after I had sent that email a very nice lady named Barbara called me.
She talked to me about how busy Shirley was and she got my name and
we talked about health issues. Well, I was pretty much totally confused
but Barbara mentioned a fibromyalgia
system package and it has helped many with fibromyalgia....I
thought to myself, my goodness, so much money and I had so
many, many dissappointments before but I decided to take the plunge for
myself and also for my daughter Elisa..... Elisa was always sick with cold
and flu's and I was always flaring with my fibromyalgia..... Also Elisa
had boils, allergies, skin issues, you name it...
I ordered the supplements...I was thinking to myself I was really out
of my mind to buy such an expensive package deal to help my fibromyalgia
issues... On august 17th I started taking my supplements.... I started
the FibroFree Phase 1 System package....The second nite I had cold sweats
like I had the flu...this continued for 3 or 4 days...The supplements were
getting the toxins out of my body that I had put in with 20 plus years
of medicines..... after 3 days I was not in any pain... I could not believe
it... I did not need an advil, flexeril, ultram, nothing....I was doing
okay...I was not stiff.... I could move..... So I tried to get everything
done that I had not done in a long time and wore my little self out....
Then after about a week I truly felt that I needed to take care and
not try and do what I could not do before but truly try to heal..... I
had been careful with my diet for a long time...I do not eat red meat (pork
or beef)..... I am also careful with eating out..... I try not to eat processed
foods...I do eat alot of beans, brown rice,
salmon, fruits and veggies and peanut butter....I love sweets but they
do not love me.
I try not to eat them.... If I eat them I have always had more pain....
I try and eat yogurt or fruits for sweets..... Anyway, Here we are
almost a month on phase 1 of the fibrofree supplements and sometimes I
feel so good I forget to take my noonhour supplements....I remind myself
to take them....After almost 24 years of fibromyalgia I am 90% better....
I don't feel as stiff and sore like I used to...Houston is very damp and
humid and that kills me....With these supplements I don't feel 90 years
old... I have had 2 days since taking these supplements that I would call
a flare....They were brought about from major stress. I can sit at
my computer and get up and not have to feel like a 80 year old person
getting out of a chair.... My daughter and I go to mass on saturday nites
and I welcome going..I used to dread going because of pain and fatigue.
Yes, I still have to pace myself and take a rest in the afternoon cause
I am still healing but my energy level is much better...I used to be exhausted
by 12 noon after getting up at 9:00 in the morning...Now I go till almost
3 oclock in the afteroon before I rest up. I also get up earlier
now...I get up at 7:30 and feel rested..Not exhausted when I get up.
I am laughing more, living more and feeling so much better;
I did not think this was possible a month ago... I have a minihorse
and now I go get the hay by myself from the feed store...Before that was
almost impossible. I am reborn. I do not want this to ever go away....I
truly feel my health is coming back....I just ordered phase 2 of the fibro
sjupplements. Yes, these supplements are not cheap. I have to remind
myself that buying meds like ultram and imitrex was not cheap either.
Now I am taking supplements that are helping and healing me.... I will
continue on with the program no matter what...I wanted to do house improvements
this fall but decided that my health would come first and now am
willing to give that up for a while...I am healing , happy and for the
most part drug free.... I do not take pain meds now..Instead I take supplements....If
somebody asked me if this program was worthwhile I would tell them
its not only worthwhile it is much more and beyond my expectations...My
daughter Elisa who has down syndrome is taking the Rio Vida and her health
is improving as well.... I am writing this testimony for one reason only...To
reach as many people with fibromyalgia as I can. I know what
it is to suffer. I did it for so many years. I know the doubts,
pain, and frustrations of being sick and tired..I lived it for so many
years... I do believe I am on the road to wellness now. Fibromyalgia
products changed my life for the better. I am truly blessed
to have found Barbara Raggio and also Patty Trammel in my life. They
with their support gave me the courage to try a new product and get better.
My daughter Elisa is also on the road to recovery. I have been given a
new life with these products and I am going to run with it.... Yes, I said
run with it. Dont settle for misery and illness, I didn't!

It was non-allergy eating which saved my 21 year old son from suicide
following years of depression. Once we got him off dairy, gluten and all
junk food, his health and mental state improved 80%. He had a history of
ADD and was starting to suffer with stomach cramping, insomnia, headaches
etc. and all due to his system rejecting the wrong food.
I have always been a strong advocate of 'live' food consumption but
it wasn't easy to convince my son, he had to become desparate before he
saw the light and changed his eating habits. Hopefully others can benefit
from this information.........what have you to lose?

Subject: Molluscum
Date: February 2005
From: Lynda Waldron
England
"My little
boy caught this nasty virus when he was just 8 months old. It started
with just one lesion on is upper left eye. By the time he was one
he had about 12 lesions on his left eyelid, and a month later he had 10
underneath the same eye, which then spread to his left hand. I spent
months and months trying to find a cure. Doctors don’t do anything
with this virus as the lesions will eventually just fall off, but this
could take anything from 18 months to 2 years. After trying lots
of different treatments, I was introduced to Transfer
Factor Plus. Within 8 weeks of taking these tablets the lesions,
one by one, have dropped off. I can’t tell you what a difference
this has made to my life. Having these all over my baby’s eye was
so upsetting and I would have done anything to cure it. I’ll happily
pass this on to anyone I meet whose child has got this dreadful virus."
Molluscum is caused by a
poxvirus. It is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact (close contact) with
an infected person. Children 2 to 12 years old are most likely to be infected
by this virus. Molluscum can spread to other parts of the body if a child
picks at a bump and then scratches elsewhere (this process is called auto-inoculation).
Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D.
and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D. - "Transfer factors are not only useful
for disease prevention but can also help with diseases already established
due to inadequate immune response. Since transfer factor-producing
T lymphocytes are important in immune recognition and memory, impairment
of transfer factor production could neutralize the rest of the immune response
in otherwise healthy individuals. Therefore, introducing transfer
factors can sometimes enable a dysfunctional immune system to return to
normal."

Incontinence
About 15 years ago, while taking a bath. I discovered I had a prolapsed
bladder. I had been doing some heavy lifting, which I think caused the
problem. I made an appointment with a Urologist who along with a Gynecologist
did my surgery to correct the problem. Six weeks after surgery I became
incontinent. I tried various treatments with no success. For 15 years I
have been purchasing pads for about $18.00 a package, instead of being
able to take a cruise occasionally like some of my friends and family members
have done. I continued changing pads during the day and night when I would
get up to go to the bathroom.
For my 89th birthday, my sister gave me 2 bottles of Goji
Juice. For many years I had heard about these people far away in the
Himalayan Mountains who lived to be a 100 + with no white hair and all
their teeth. People wondered about the soil in which they grew their food,
the fresh mountain air they breathed and the mountain sunshine. Now I have
some of that Goji berry juice which I expected to enhance my general health,
improve my breathing and maybe keep me from taking $500 worth of medicine
a month. When those 2 bottles were almost gone I could see I needed to
keep drinking more.
Just recently I woke up at 6:00 AM with the sun shinning into my bedroom.
I thought WOW! I have slept all night without getting up to go to the bathroom
even once. Usually I got up several times during the night and couldn’t
go back to sleep for 2, 3 or 4 hours. Thinking back a few nights, I got
up only once the night before and only twice a night in recent nights and
went right back to sleep. Not only am I sleeping better, I am no longer
incontinent, after just 2 ½ months after drinking Goji juice.
I was not expecting such miraculous results from the Goji juice.
Now this story is not what I was brought up to tell at the table – not
table talk – and too long for the bridge table. So when am I going to capture
the attention of friends long enough to give my testimony? I am packing
up the new package of pads and taking them to a nursing home.

Natural Remedies for Digestive Problems
From Shirley, author
of this website
I fed slippery
elm powder porridge to my handicapped son, Sterling, to help him with
his digestive problems. Slippery Elm powder is renowed to be nourishing
and soothing to sensitive stomach. (read Sterling's
story)
According to the herbal materia medica, Slippery Elm has a most soothing
and healing action on all the parts it comes in contact with. Taken unsweetened,
three times a day, Elm Food gives excellent results in gastritis,
gastric catarrh, indigestion, mucous colitis and enteritis,
diarrhea,
being tolerated by the stomach when all other foods fail, and is of
great value in bronchitis, bleeding from the lungs and consumption (being
most healing to the lungs), soothing a cough and building up and preventing
wasting.
Slippery Elm Food is generally made by mixing a teaspoonful of the powder
into a thin and perfectly smooth paste with cold water and then pouring
on a pint of boiling water, steadily stirring meanwhile. It can, if desired,
be flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon rind. This makes an excellent
drink in cases of irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines, and taken at night will induce sleep. In times of famine, early
American settlers used slippery elm as a survival food. A strengthening,
soothing demulcent herb, slippery elm is ideal for sore, inflamed, ulcerated
mucous membranes and wasting disease. Slippery elm can be used by weak
or debilitated people as a mild food to help build up the body. It is especially
helpful when no other food can be kept down. It is a highly nutritive,
tonic herbal food and is further helpful for conditions of tissue deficiency.
I have also used clay successfully to treat digestive
and intestinal problems. A medical study by Frederic Damrau, M.D., in 1961
(Medical Annals of the District of Columbia) established clearly that bentonite
can end bouts of diarrhea. When 35 individuals (average age 51) suffering
from diarrhea took two tablespoons of bentonite in distilled water daily,
the diarrhea was relieved in 97% (34 of the 35 patients) in 3.8 days, regardless
of the original cause of the problem (allergies, virus infection, spastic
colitis, or food poisoning). According to Dr. Damrau, bentonite is safe
and highly effective in treating acute diarrhea.
Ran Knishinsky says that he eats clay everyday, that it is part of his
diet. He never skip a day without eating clay. On page 95 suggests
the following : infants: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (in a bottle), Small frame:
one teaspoon, Medium frame: one heaping teaspoon, Large frame: one tablespoon.
Ran writes: "Naturally absorbent and extremely gentle on the system, clay
can treat ailments affecting digestion, circulation, menstruation, and
the liver, skin, and prostate. Clay also remedies symptoms of arthritis,
chronic
fatigue syndrome, gum diseases, and migraines. The Clay Cure contains
complete and up-to-date information on choosing the appropriate type and
form of clay, how and when to take it for your specific complaint, the
science and history of ingesting clay, and the value of minerals contained
in the many varieties of clay. Benefits reported by people using liquid
clay for a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal regularity;
relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a
surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter eyes; enhanced
alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum repair; and increased
resistance to infections. Clay works on the entire organism. No part of
the body is left untouched by its healing energies, he notes.
"I
was told by my doctor that I had Hepatitis B and C and my cholesterol was
very high. A liver biopsy indicated I was in the first stage.
I was instructed by my doctor to start Interferon and Ribavirin treatment
for six months, but I wasn’t able to continue with them for long because
they were too hard on my body. In January of 2005, I started drinking Goji
juice. This is what has happened since
then: On my next visit to my gastroenterologist, he told me the me the
Hepatitis B was gone. My primary doctor said my cholesterol is now in the
normal range. In October 2005, my doctor told me that the Hepatitis C is
gone from my body." Gerline H., Tampa, FL
"Recently I had a couple
of weeks of severe abdominal pains that woke me every night and I could
not go back to sleep. I had zero energy and I felt feverish several days.
I ate the same foods, but much less than usual. Things got worse, not better.
My bowel movements were very painful and very different and became non
existent; I was scared when I painfully passed a glob of mucus. I had been
very healthy for 48 years, although, I'd been under considerable stress
for seven or eight months. I could not get a doctor's appointment for a
week and was told I'd most likely need to see a gastro-intestinal specialist
and they were booking five weeks ahead. So, I called a doctor, who happens
to be the world’s number one authority on wellness. He suggested I drink
8 ounces of Goji juice
a day along with some other nutritional supplements. Without taking any
other supplements, and by drinking a total of four bottles of Goji
juice in 2 1/2 weeks, I began to sleep through the night and my bowels
were headed back to normal. I have my energy back and absolutely zero pain
or discomfort! I can't wait to see how I'm feeling in another month or
two. I'm not going to worry about how I'll afford what I need to take for
my health." Joyce W., Maui

The radiologist told me that I was in stage III cancer, and that I have
two tumors in my lymph glands. When I learned of this, I researched cancer
like crazy. I elected to not have radiation or chemotherapy, but rather
using natural means to rid myself of this monster within. That, plus faith
in God, power of positive thinking, and mind over

From: Parentbd@aol.com
A few months ago, my mother was diagnosed with an agressively growing,
squamous cell carcinoma on her left arm. Her doctor wanted to operated
immediately, but she was opposed to the idea of invasive surgery; so she
asked her doctor for two weeks to find an alternative. She discovered Fischer's
"How to Fight Cancer and Win", used the 1 Tbs Flax and 1/4 cup cottage
cheese, plus she rubbed a little of the oil on the cancerous tissue. After
two weeks she returned to her doctor with a completely healed arm. Her
doctor was floored! He insisted that he take another biopsy, even though
the cancerous tissue was gone. When the results came back negative, he
dubbed her recovery as "spontaneous remission," failing to believe that
flax oil had cured my mom of cancer.
I have since found your website, and I have copied much of the info.
(including Beckworth's testimonial) and have given the info. to people
with cancer who have found the testimonial pursuasive enough to at least
give the oil a shot. One man, a friend of my husband's, has already reported
back that his doctor found that his blood appears to have changed from
the greenish color of cancer patients, back to a healthy reddish color--just
as described in Fischer's book!! Thank you so much for sharing this information,
I'm sure you have saved lives!
Incidentally, my mom and dad have been taking
flax oil everyday since the diagnosis. Each morning, their mostly empty
bowls have been given to Scooter (their 15 year old Bichen Frise dog),
who has been licking them clean! Scooter, amazingly, has become a puppy
again. All of the effects of age that she had displayed are now gone--her
cataracks are even going away!

Henoch Schoenlein Purpura Disease (HSP)
Early February 2005, my 9-year-old daughter, Paige, was diagnosed with
Henoch Schoenlein Purpura Disease (HSP), a type of hypersensitivity vasculitis
and inflammatory response within the blood vessel. The exact cause of this
disorder is unknown. She had high levels of blood and protein in the urine
and severe swelling in her legs. What concerned the doctors most was a
blood test called ANA was coming back positive, which wasn't typical for
HSP. Her doctors from La Rabida Hospital decided it was necessary to do
a kidney biopsy, to see if any damage was being done and find out why the
ANA was coming back abnormal. The morning of her biopsy I doubled her dose
of Goji juice to 2 ounces each day. Within 4 days later, her counts
dropped dramatically and her ANA was negative, all blood/urine work was
back to normal. She was released from doctor’s care last month. She is
doing great, no problems at all. She's back to her normal self, very happy
and energetic. I know the Goji juice played a major role in my daughter
making a great, speedy recovery.

From: "Rick London" <thorus1@pearlriver.net
About two years ago I had a root canal done. It either didn't take or
the dentist inadvertantly left out a canal because about 6 months later
it flared up again and again it flared up about8 months after that. Then
a third time last weekend.
Each time I bombarded it with herbs both internally and locally. I wish
I had found out about the chamomile/salt/ lemon combo gargle first, but
I found out about it almost toward the end. I gargled with this warm nearly
hot solution and even put the bag on the tooth. It offered total pain relief
within minutes.
But all week I put fresh garlic cloves on the tooth, and gargled every
three hours with hydrogen peroxide. Every few hours I put tincture of echinicearight
on the tooth. I also took echinicia, cats claw, and golden seal tablets
every few hours. I'm told by the way not to get echinicea in alcohol solutionas
it ruins its effectiveness. Mine was in spring water. I'm told not to use
odorless garlic as the acillin is removed in that process so I got fresh.
Anyone who has ever had a bad abscess knows the pain it can cause. Having
had a kidney stone, that was the only other thing close in proximity to
pain. Eventually I will go to another dentist and get it corrected.
For now, I was mainly interested in getting the infection and pain removed.

From: "Patty Trammel" nptra@wenval.com
I am 72 yrs. old and have taken food supplements for many years trying
to feel better and be healthy, but nothing changed until I started taking
Transfer
Factor. The first thing I noticed after taking Transfer Factor for
a few days was the energy I had. I had Chronic fatigue
and I thought that feeling tired all the time was just a way of life. But
my major health problem has been a low potassium problem because I have
had a disease for over 30 years that prevents my body from absorbing potassium.
The doctors had increased my potassium medication to the highest dosage
and I was still getting worse which was very discouraging. I have even
ended up in the hospital a couple times because of the affect it was having
on my heart and my extreme weakness, but after only taking Transfer Factor
for 4-months I was able to cut my potassium dosage in half which totally
amazed my doctor. Always before when I even missed one daily dose, I would
be sick and in bed the next day. I am so thankful for Transfer Factor because
it has given me a quality of life that I had never known or ever dreamed
could be possible. Patty Trammell (email Patty

I enjoyed your site so much. It is about time that people believed in
themselves more than they believe in the "medical professionals."
I have finally taken the destiny of my own health into my own hands
and heart. Ten years ago I believed doctors when they told me that they
could do nothing else for my endometriosis. I had a complete hysterectomy
done at the age of 33. I have searched for 10 years to find a estrogen
replacement that would make me feel like myself. It still hasn't happened.
But, I am no longer on any type of estrogen replacement and I am trying
other alternatives to keep myself naturally healthy.
After my surgery, I started with pains all over my body. It took doctors
4 years and many tests to discover that now I have fibromyalgia. Again,
I was on a roller coaster and asking the medical profession to heal me.
To this date it has not happened. I am also seeking alternative advice
for this condition.
I am glad to say that I am not taking any prescription medicines at
this time. Somedays are not very good but I really don't think they are
any worse than when I took the drugs my physician prescribed for me. I
feel confident that I will find the answer-and I will heal myself!!
Thank you for your site-keep up the good work!!

From: "Connie Penner" <ronp@citycent.com
I read some of your data on breast cancer. I gave up use of deodorant
and anti-perspirant some months back--even the "natural" kind. I
noticed that the right arm pit on the side where I had the breast cancer,
seemed to sweat more for a while. It's like it helped the area to
"come alive" further and do more of its detox function.
I have also stopped wearing bras--except occasionally for cosmetic reasons.
I can feel the body liked that! Too bad that as young girls we were
sold such a bill of goods! I never needed a bra due to small size.
I gave up the use of tampons over 6 years ago. That was a major relief
in some ways. Though it may not be as "convenient". I can tell
my body is a lot happier without the synthetic and toxic influence.
I discovered that my breast cancer was "caused" by several factors.
One of which is that I grew up in Illinois and consumed high amounts of
dairy products as I was taught. I learned in a food science topics
class that the amount of DDT and one other pesticide in milk back in the
early 70's was well over the USDA limit. However, because it was
so high, the USDA did not even attempt to regulate it! It was condoned!
Since then, of course, the link between breast cancer and DDT and pesticides
has been pretty much proven. This fact was relayed to me in a class
given by a Ph.D. in entomology. DDT and some other pesticides, he told
us, stay in the fat of the body for 20 to 30 years(normally). I think
that's one of the reasons that it's so important
for cancer patients to do detoxification of the eliminative organs, etc.
I also have insisted that my husband and I only use tooth paste without
fluoride. It is too bad that we have been duped for so long!

From: "Wright, Izola(NXI)" <Izola.Wright@cna.com
I'm 41 years old and the first time in my life my period was 7 days
late. I knew it wasn't pregnancy because of a tubal ligation 17 years earlier.
When my period finally came, I experienced bleeding for 3 weeks with
cramping, and clotting. The gynecologist told me that I had fibroids and
that I would need an immediate DandC. (surgery). I decided to search
the net for an alternative treatment to my condition. Inspired by the many
testimonials of natural healing that I read on your site, I decided to
awaken my inner knowledge of "Women heal Thyself" and to go the holistic
way.
I made an appointment with a local herbalist who put me on a 10-day
herbal program for my female problems and she also suggested a colon cleanse
program for 90 days. After taking the herbs for a full 24 hour period
and after having a major bowel movement, the bleeding stopped, the cramping
and bloating left as well. Praise God! Although I stopped bleeding
the very 1st day of taking the herbs I still have to continue taking the
following herbal treatment for the next 9 days: Red Raspberry, Dong Quai,
Capsicum and a blend of different herbs for glandular support. I
take two pills of each, 5X a day. The colon cleanse consists of taking
4 cascara Sagrada pills 3X a day and then a liquid drink 2X a day for
the remaining 87 days. My herbalist also suggested that I take a
21 day juice fast to detoxify and cleanse my system which I have agreed
to.
I blame my health problems to my poor diet. As a vegetarian for the
past 15 years, I abstained from eating meat but did feast on loads of cheese,
white flour products, sugar, butter, margarine, etc. I've decided to eat
healthy vegetarian from now on: lots of fresh and preferably raw fruits,
vegetables, nuts, whole grains, lots of fresh juice, etc.. In fact, my
herbalist also suggested that I do a 21 day juice fast to detoxify
and cleanse my system. I think its a great idea and I'm sure it will help
me loose the 55 pounds that I have gained this past year. My husband is
doing the juice fast with me.
My heart goes out to the hundreds of women whose wombs are butchered
at the hands of surgeons as a so call "cure" forabnormal
bleeding, fibroids, cysts, and other female problems. There are alternatives
to drugs, surgery, chemo and radiation with natural and herbal treatments
for all of our many ails. I can attest to that! Izola

Menstrual Symptoms
"I have been taking Transfer

(lycium) juice a day. Having numerous health issues, I figure
I can't do anymore harm. For the first time in 20+ years I was able
to function thru my menstrual cycle like normal. I had been taking
migraine pills and when I could no longer afford those I would take 3 Ibuprofens
every 3 hours for about 2-3 days, it killed my stomach, but the migraines
and the pain were worse than having a tummy ache. I am now down to
about 3 Ibuprofens in a DAY, not every 3 hours like previously. I
also noticed since taking it that my yeast rashes (I have yeast in my blood)
that would become inflamed on my chest and armpit is now gone. I
haven't had a rash since I started the Goji (lycium) and the TF Plus.
And I am waking up feeling much better, not so overly tired like I have

vision problems
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001
From: "Cliff Beckwith" <spinner@usit.net>
Quite a while ago, my cousin Rich told me he had been having trouble
seeing enough to drive at night. Having great faith in the ability of flaxseed
oil to help about any condition involving poor health, Rich began to put
it in his eyes. I am hazy about the length of time it took, but before
long his night vision had improved greatly. I tried it a little and it
seemed to help me. Just as an observation, I put that info on the flaxseed
oil group. Before long some other folks emailed the group and told of this
approach helping them. One lady said that it had helped her, but it had
helped her neighbor more.
The neighbor had macular degeneration and lost her driver's license,
and now she had it back. Another lady said that she had faced cataract
surgery and put a drop of oil in each eye at night and the cataracts cleared
up. Monday, October 1st, I had a yearly eye exam. Six or seven years ago
I had a "bleeder" in the retina of my right eye. That is something about
which there is very little that can be done. It did not clear by itself
after a few years and the doctor recommended laser surgery to drain the
blood and prevent blindness. By that time the "bleeder" had rerouted but
the dried blood was still there. The laser surgery had caused me to be
unable to see much in my right eye and I could not read with both eyes
open. This is a problem. The sight had been growing steadily worse and
more "cloudy". I attributed this to the laser.
During the examination the doctor discovered that there was a dense
cataract. He said my sight in that eye, though not perfect anyway, could
perhaps be helped by cataract surgery. I wasn't interested because I don't
use it much anyway. Then I remembered the lady who had cleared cataracts
with flaxseed oil. I talked with the doctor about it. He asked me what
literature I had read and I told him that there was no literature but we
might be making it.
The "cloud" is still there but seems much less dense. During the exam,
Jenny, the tecnician who did the examination with the chart told me that
she had an aunt in Texas who cleared cataracts with Flaxseed oil. If this
cataract is cleared I may again be able to read with both eyes open. I
am hardly daring to believe this can be possible, but somewhat excited
nevertheless. What I have written is not a recommendation. I do not know
what will happen. It is simply an account of what has happened. The Opthamologist
has assured me that there can be no danger in doing what I am doing. I
would say that if any tries this one should use the golden oil from the
top of a bottle before it is mixed up in the case of Lignan Rich oil.
Update: Today, October 22, we returned to the Center for Sight in Jefferson
City to pick up my wife's glasses. The Technician there put up the chart
and I could see the second size letters significantly more clearly than
I could 8 days ago. The cataract seems to be clearing. Oct 1 the sight
in that eye was 20 -- 400. Today, 21 days later, it is 20 --200. If the
trend continues another month should see things better than that, though
because of the laser damage to the retina it will never be perfect. We
now know of one lady who had a bad reaction from this. We also know that
she used an unclean eyedropper and little bottle. Another possibility is
that on rare occassions a person may have an allergy to flaxseed oil. This
might cause trouble. To be sure in this regard take a teaspoonful or so
orally and be sure there is no reaction. If a person was allergic there
would be a red rash around the neck or chest. Today, November 13, 2001,
I can read the computer screen with both eyes open and little discomfort.

Gout Attack
I suffer from Gout and I’m a truck driver. I spend a lot of time
sitting and don’t necessarily eat right while I'm on the road. About
3 or 4 times a year I end up with a gout attack. Usually the Gout
attack lasts around 7 to 10 days and in the middle of it I can hardly walk
and I can’t drive the truck because I have trouble pushing the clutch in.
My last attack came while I was on vacation and I was out of Goji
juice. I began having pain in the ball of my foot, as that is
where it usually starts. Fortunately my Goji juice arrived later
that day and within 2 days I didn’t have any pain and the Goji juice
staved off the Gout attack.

This is going to sound unbelievable, but we've had another cancer cure
using nothing but cottage cheese and flax oil. My husband's father was
diagnosed with incurable bone cancer about 7 months ago. We told him to
get on the flax immediately. But, he just wouldn't take it consistantly.
Finally, about 3 months ago, my husband found out that dad was deterioring
rapidly. My husband travelled from Sacramento to Grants, NM to convince
dad to take it and to explain what he needed to do. He decided that he'd
start out with 4 tbl of flax (a lot) per day. After two days, he decided
he could tolerate more. A day later, when my husband left, he was taking
8-10 tbl of flax per day! It has now been three months and we just got
the news: Dad had his bloodwork done--- 0 cancer!!! The doctor did not
believe it so he had another test done; again it was negative. Still disbelieving,
he ordered a third test---still negative! I asked him to write a testimonial
so that we may publish it at our new website The
Hobbit/Health and Healing. I'll let you know when I get it, and if
you want to publish it on your website, you're free to copy it. (Read

My 10 year old son has been taking flax oil for a little over a month

My son started having "behavioral problems" at school in kindergarten,
he was labeled ADHD and put on chlonidine. Over the next 5 years
he was diagnosed with a variety of things: ADHD, OCD, ODD, GAD, depression,
severe conduct disorder, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder. .
.with the doctors only agreeing on the ADHD and ODD portions. He
has been on : clonidine, aderall, paxil, buspar, medidate, ritalin,
dexadrine, wellbutrin, concerta. . .all with horrific results. He
was hospitalized twice in an adolescent psychiatric hospital within a year.
I was having to restrain him daily and he was destroying his possessions
and our family's life!
Since starting on the flax oil life has been so much better for our
family. He has not had a "rage" and I have not had to restrain him
at all, he has entered school again and is doing well. He is happy
and able to be redirected. He is still on the hyper side and somewhat
impulsive, but aren't all 10 year old boys?

I am 51 years old and have been having skin problems for about 5 years.
Just last year the doctor told me it was eczema. This occured soon after
I had twins. Its my thinking that my body was stipped of any fatty acids.
My sons also had cradle cap and mild eczema. I am convinced that they
were also deficient of these acids!! Because of your article I have been
taking 2 TBl of flax oil and 1 capsule of borage since June. Just recently
I have started taking about 2 TBL of a flax and borage oil blend. I thought
I might have trouble processing the flax oil alone.
Do you think I could increase this dosage or just give it more time??
I get little blister like bumps on my face along with flaking, redness
and dryness. The dryness is much better and I rarely experience any burning.
I think of all the time I have wasted when I could have been taking these
oils. Why don't the doctors know about this?? I have all my sons taking
it as well. The skin on my body is feeling like satin now. I have also
cut back on the beef....added lots more veggies and fruits. I have given
up wheat, sugar and dairy. I buy all our food at an organic store
as well.
Our sick parakeet recovered after we moved him from the kitchen to a
bright sunny room by the window. I don't want to take my animals to the
vet any longer nor do I want to go the doc! tor anymore. I see where many
of the medicines they give create more problems. I am convinced that if
all of us would share your philosophy and take our own health and diet
in our hands we would remain disease free. It really is what we eat that
dictates our health. Thank you Shirley!

I read your article about your son and I
was very moved. You are a wonderful person and I'm very inspired. The way
you feel about your son is the way I feel about my own. When he was first
diagnosed with autism, I thought "Why me?" But gradually I came to realise
that everything good in my life has come about because of my son's autism.
I'm am now studying to be a chiropractor to help children with special
needs and will keep studying naturopathy, homeopathy and nutrition. I am
also fascinated by organic gardening and have a very small backyard and
made excuses because of it. No more....thank you.
I have a previous article by Patricia Kane from the Explore magazine(
vol 4, no 3and4) but unfortunately it is not available on the internet.
A doctor gave me a photocopy of it.
It starts by saying: In 1977 my two year old son, Shawn, fell from a
slide and sustained an injury deep within his brain. I was coldly informed
that he was hopelessly brain damaged, and should put him into an institution
and forget about him. It is difficult to explain what a horrifying experience
this really is. The pain and shock make deciding which medical direction
to go seem hopeless. Fortunately, I was familiar with the work of doctor
Carlton fredericks, and contacted him for information regarding brain injury.
He was gravely concerned over Shawn's condition and urged me to immediately
begin a nutritional regime. The protocol included Viobin wheat germ oil
concentrate that was indicated in repairing the myelin sheath around verve
cells. Three days after my son's injury he was receiving this therapy along
with a whole spectrum of supporting nutrients.
Within two weeks on the wheat germ oil concentrate Shawn pushed himself
off a chair and attempted to run. His movements were grossly crippled but
he did, in fact, move on his own. Five weeks after the accident he walked
out of the hospital with only a slight limp remaining. No one was able
to explain how or why he recovered from his injury. However, the medical
staff was impressed and curious enough to hustle him off to a conference
where residents and interns could form their own professional opinions
as his recovery. They concluded his recovery was due to physical therapy
(yet he did not receive physical or any other type of therapy.)
Seven weeks after the injury Shawn's gait was completely normal but
severely regressed when at nine weeks after the injury I ran out of the
wheat germ oil concentrate. However, within days of readministation, he
regained all that he had lost. He was completely normal upon medical examination.
Today, my 17 year old son is a gifted artist who graduated from high
school ahead of his class by attending college courses. He has chosen to
blend his nutritional, scientific and artistic interests to further hi
education towards a career in health sciences.
A few years after my son's injury I began to focus my education and
research on brain injury and essential fatty acid therapy. And then came
a progression of children....... Brittany, adopted from Romania, who was
lovingly chosen inspite of Oxygen deprivation she experienced during a
life threatening illness.
Thriving on the wheat germ oil supplementation, a cycle of recurrent
ear infections ceased as she developed beautifully without a sign of any
injury to her brain. on Brittany's first birthday as a guest on Good Morning
America she held one finger up and announced, "Hi, I'm one."
Ayla, born at 21 and one half weeks of pregnancy, was given essential
fatty acid and nutrient support although her grave prognosis left little
hope for survival. Ayla is 21 months old now and has been medically evaluated
as normal. She talks a blue streak, and has quite an engaging personality.
Baby Mary, 15 months, began the wheat germ oil concentrate just 14 days
ago. At nine months of age she choked of a piece of pecan and was deprived
of oxygen for 20 minutes. She is now finally able to relax the rigidity
of her tiny body, (85% improved) and is gaining some of the weight (two
pounds in two weeks) she has lost. Mary is beginning to respond to the
world around her once again. The article then continues on pretty well
along the same vein as before.
Since I have started Jake on Patricia Kane's recommended diet for autistic
children I have noticed marked improvements. Taking dairy
and gluten from his diet was daunting at first, but he responded so
well that it was worth any effort. I then took any hydrogenated fat and
replaced it with coconut oil. Last week I got the blood test results from
his fatty acid analysis and it showed similar results to Alex, the child
described in the article, although Jake has his unique differences. Therefore
the dietary changes and supplements are slighly different.
Once again, thanks for being the inspiration you are and for turning
the blessing of your son into something remarkable for the rest of us.

Canker sores
From Desi, Columbus, Ohio USA email:
desi@mac.com
I wanted to share with you, and perhaps you'll want to share with other
people some personal experience with using the amino acid
L-Lysine to get rid of canker sores.
Up until 10 years ago, my husband was miserable with sore throats and
cold sores more time that he wasn't. Nothing ever worked for him. Then
one day, I read a column in a newspaper where someone recommended using
L-Lysine for these conditions.
We weren't big on natural or alternative therapies. In fact, when I
forced my husband to try it, he refused to believe it would work. But it
did, and in a BIG way. Immediately after he started taking it, the canker
sores started to disappear. The next time he started to come down with
a sore throat, he took lysine, and the sore throat also cleared in record
time.. hours, not days or weeks.
So, needless to say, now, when either of us (or anyone else we've ever
convinced to try it) start to get a sore hroat, a cold or canker
sore, or even a cold, we hammer it with l-Lysine.
While I'm sure there may be a better protocol, here's how we do it.
We don't take lysine on a daily basis for maintenance or anything. Instead,
the second we feel a cold sore, or any of the other symptoms coming on,
we take about 1000 mg of lysine, then another 500 mg 6 hours later, and
another 500 mg six hours after that. For a total of 2000 mg in about 18
hours. This dosage was never prescribed to us by anyone, and I don't know
if it would be right for everyone, but it's what works for us. Usually,
if it hasn't cleared by the second day, we'll just do 500 mg every 6 hours
or so, but almost never have to complete the second day's treatment, because,
since we caught it early, it's already gone.
In cases where one of us stupidly waits until the sore throat, canker
sore is "full blown", the lysine doesn't work quite as quickly, but still,
the rate it works at is unbelievable. Thanks again for the site, and keep
up the great work.

I came down with symptoms of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) which included
three months blind in on eye and partially blind in the other. I had all
the symptoms for MS including the dizziness, numbness in the legs and ankles,
severe pain in the nerves behind my knees and elbows and then blindness.
I found a naturopath who treated me with herbs and i must say that for
the next few years i was doing very well on his treatment. Then i got a
tape from Quest IV Health about the enzymes. The formulator of them is
Rob Schneider who is an expert in ezymes with a decade of research involving
over a 100.000 individual case histories. He was hired by Nelson Mandela
to formulate an enzyme product in South Africa because the AIDS issue was
exploding there and they were looking for alternatives to traditional medizines
which are expensive. It has become known that when people eat enzyme dead
food it causes an immune response and also the undigested proteins clog
the immune receptor cells which make it worse to the immune system to function
properly.
Eventually I was at a point when I struggled to digest anything, and
the straw that broke the camels back was when i spend one whole week without
eliminating once (i was bloated and in pain but nothing came out) my ND's
solution was a cleanse. I know what that meant for me: days of unrelenting
diarrhea. I though 'thanks, but no thanks' i really gave it a lot of thought
and decided to try the minerals and the enzymes from Quest IV Health and
tell my doctor goodbye Within the same day i got relief. Within the next
week my elimating was about once or twice a day no more tired after eating.

Conquering Chronic Diseases Without Drugs or Surgery
My health history: Being born the fourth daughter by a mother who never
wanted to have any girl, my health problems started from as far as I can
remember. The fact that I was emotionally very sensitive only made my suffering
in health worse. Other than being underweight all my life, I had bad acnes
and was allergic to many different plants and dust. Hives, rushes and unexplained
swelling on my lymph glands happened frequently. At the age of eleven,
I passed out first time in my life and was told by a medical doctor that
I was born with a weak heart. At the age of fourteen, I was diagnosed with
juvenile arthritis. There were days that I couldn't climb the staircase
or hold a pen to write notes. However, I was still blessed with a photographic
memory which I believe I was born with. Unfortunately, at 17 years old,
I lost my photographic memory. At 20 years old, I could not remember details
of textbook materials even after going through them. At 29 years old, shortly
after my second child's birth, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Around the same time, I started having severe cramps during my periods
and passed out many times during those years. Eventually, I was told I
had uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and endometriosis.
I always needed a lot of sleep, but never felt refreshed. Dozing off
in the class was my daily problems even after 10 hours of uninterupted
night sleep. In my late 30's, I started having problems falling asleep.
Dark shadows developed all over my facial skin and my skin also became
very bumpy. At 45 years old, I left my regular job because of constant
fatigue and sickness and started a health food store which provides opportunity
to learn about different approaches to my health problems. It was a real
struggle initially because I could pass out anytime and I had a couch in
the basement for me to lie down whenever I felt weak. At 47 years old,
I decided to see a traditional Chinese doctor for different opinions. He
told me that I had badly congested liver and tried to treat my liver problems.
Unfortunately, Chinese medicine does not understand hormones and he made
my hormone imbalance worse.
When I was growing up in Taiwan with regular use of Chinese
herbs, I did not want to believe them because of my rebellious nature.
After I realized that modern medicine could not help me because almost
every drug is damaging to the liver, I had to go back to Chinese medicine.
I studied intensively Chinese medicinal herbs (both ancient Chinese medical
texts and more modern books) and decided to treat myself combining my knowledge
in clinical chemistry, physiology and Chinese herbal medicine.
I thought I should start with treating my liver first because after
all it is the largest organ in our body and is the " general " or " chief
of staff " of all organs according to Chinese medicine. I planned to treat
my other problems one after another when my liver is fixed up. Unexpectedly,
when my liver became healthy, all my other problems including constant
fatigue, allergies, arthritis, heart palpitation, sleep disorders, fainting,
frequent infections and all woman's problems disappeared. What a pleasant
surprise!
I restored my liver health by cleansing my liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
I watched my diet carefully and do morning execise called Y-Dan which is
a simple alternative to Tai-chi. I have since helped many people who have
chronic health problems often by cleansing the liver and gallbladder. One
of the most useful discoveries was use of the Chinese herb "Gold Coin Grass"
(Herba Lysimachiae) to crush and soften the gallstones before flushing.
Very often, relief from pain is experienced even before gallbladder flush.

I just bumped into your site today and I am so glad to have found it.
I am an unvaccinated individual and I was so pleased to find all this information
in one place. All my life I have found it difficult to teach people about
all the evil involved in the AMA, especially there stupid vaccines. Now
all I have to do is tell them what site to visit and they can learn it
all themselves.
I have to tell you a cute story about a new mother and her first baby.
The babe was about 2 weeks old when I requested to hold him. She responded
"Have you washed your hands, he hasn't had his shots yet" I laughed (for
many reasons) and replied "Neither have I" You should of seen her face!
We still laugh about this. And she still can't get over the fact that I
have not been Vaccinated.
Keep up the good Work!
Also, I love the Animal hook up! I am a animal freak! and until just
a few years ago when I was forced to move into a subdivision I never vaccinated
my pets either. I have a horse who is 33 years old and until about 8 years
ago never had a Vac either. I speak in the past tense cause he has had
some since then but as little as possible.

Can you tell me if there is another seminar about vaccines scheduled
for the near future? I would dearly love to attend.
I would like to become an active member of the National
Vaccine Information Center (NVIC); in otherwords, help contribute in
any way I can in helping to pass legislation to ensure that vaccines are
safe for EACH and EVERY CHILD; i.e., either for funds allocated to indpendent
researchers for the research needed regarding safety and efficacy of vaccines
and/or legislation that would allow parents in EVERY state to have an OPTION
(i.e. voluntary) as to whether or not to vaccinate their child.
You can reach me at kii@wsgr.com or KIMMII@webtv.net.
Thanks.

I am doing contract internet research for a major internet search engine

true that vaccinations due occasionally have severe side effects but for
most people they are very safe. Have you ever stopped and considered how
many people have died of smallpox in the last 50 years or how many birth
defects have been prevented by the rubella vaccine. If you want to risk
you or your children lives by not giving them the proper vaccinations by
all means do so; but don't come crying to the medical community (which
I am a part of) for antibiotics when your child is taking his last breath
because he got diphtheria. Do your research and be educated about the cost
benefit ratio for vaccinations. Do you really think that if they did more
harm than good that we use them. Don't be ignorant. Please remove these
misleading comments from your web page.

Dear Aaron,
Thank you for visiting my web site. After carefully reading your
objections to my section on vaccines, I feel that I must respond.
You are free to have the opinion that "...it is true that vaccinations
do occasionally have severe side effects but for most people they are very
safe." However your assumption that those who do not agree with you have
not done research, are not educated about the so-called cost benefits for
vaccinations, and, are ignorant is not well taken.
If you will re-visit my web site, you will find that I clearly state
that the information presented is for educational purposes only. It is
not intended to diagnose or prescribe.
Further, I do not just give my opinion. Books, articles, and testimonials
are presented, mostly from the medical community such as yourself. You
will find links to support groups and organizations who are devoted to
helping families whose children have been damaged by vaccines. They not
only disseminate information about vaccines, but discuss legal rights and
legal issues regarding this topic. These devoted people are just as qualified
as you to form opinions about this issue. They have done research, are
educated, and, are not ignorant.
You claim to be open minded. Are you open minded enough to believe
in and support free speech? I will not remove my comments, the books, articles,
testimonials, or the links to support groups and organizations concerning
vaccines.
Thank you. Shirley

Dear Shirley,
I must thank you for all the time and effort you have gone to, to put
this website together, I work with animals here in Perth. Western Australia,
and get email everyday from pet owners in america, needing natural and
alternative help!
It would be good if they could find your page as well. As I reply to
all pet owners by email free! and try and re-educate them, and I
am always repeating the same messages: do not vacinate and
change your animal's diet etc.
I have many animals that I treat that have been affected by the annual
vaccinations, just recently a clients cat died of Feline Leuk' and I told
her that she must stop vacinating the other cat, and
this vacination will not protect your animals, it will only
weaken the immune system, but still, she said she must still continue,
as she is scared her other cat will become sick also, some people just
don't get it! Well great work, and all my best to you.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly
in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young
children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after
three new childhood vaccines were introduced." Nicholas

In fall 1997, two influential
professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease
of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been
replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma?
The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders
in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine
read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored
the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November
22, 1997 issues. Learn more about vaccine

tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only
test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis,
and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and
CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains
a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal
that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

Subject: flax oil and seed
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002
From: Debbie Yonkers<sheltieexpress@yahoo.com
I read a lot about the wonderful benifits of flax seed/oil. i have been
using 2 tbls of each per day for 1 yr. after 1 month on the flax my body
felt like "new". never mind my body but my brain was awake and being utilized
again! after suffering from depression and anxiety for countless mega years,
i now do not have to pay the high cost of antidepressents and doctor bills!!!
just the cost of the flax seed and oil (which my pocket book can afford).
the benifits are staggering. please people research this oil and seed then
try it! you'll love it's effect on you. now the question?? do i drink
the oil?? YUCK! i have read that people dont like the oil taste or
that it's to oily. mix the oil and seed into your every day food! you dont
need a special smoothie or cottage cheese thing to enjoy the benifits of
flax. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS. TRY THEM.
-
sprinkle 1-2 tbls of flax seed on a bowl of cheerios or total (you wont
know it's there)
-
mix 1tbls of oil and 1tbls of seed with 2-3 tbls of you favorite salid
dressing.(the seed will thicken the dressing if left to sit in dressing
from breakfast to lunch.still tastes great but looks funky)
-
mix 1-2 tbls of seed and oil into your oatmeal/cream of wheat (STIR, STIR
oil until blended). REMEMBER DO NOT COOK WITH THE OIL. ADD OIL AFTER HOT
MEAL IS IN THE BOWL/DISH). the properties of the oil will be distroyed
with high heat. YES COOK WITH SEED. the seed may thicken the hot oatmeal/cream
of wheat so add a little more water or milk to your liking.
-
mix 1-2 tbls of flax oil with a gob of peanut butter, stir well, cut an
apple and dip it! or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! you can add
a sprinkle of seed too. you wont know (taste) it.
here is a great one....mix 1-2 tbls of oil with 4-5 tbs of fresh maple
syrup and pour over bttermilk pancakes!!!! oh yea.......i even mix this
and take it with me when i know im going to my favorite dinner for a pankcake
breakfast! i use 1 tbls of oil over a serving of rice.
