Blend the oranges and flax seed oil together. Do not bother removing the orange seeds as they are nourishing and contain anti-fungal qualities. Drink slowly. The fat in the flax oil allows the sugar in the oranges to release slowly over time. This provides excellent energy over several hours. This is a particularly beneficial blend to drink before a business meeting or as a starter in the morning. For The Flu Or A Cold Blend: 4 oranges 6 figs 1 medium-sized papaya Peel the oranges, but maintain the white pith. Remove any stems from the figs (figs should be soft and ripe).

WEDNESDAY Breakfast 1 quart (1 liter) of freshly-made orange juice mixed with 1/2 avocado and/or 3 teaspoons of flax seed or hempseed oil. (Mixing a fat with a sugar for breakfast will time-release the sugar for more endurance energy). 2 apples. 10-20 pecans or macadamia nuts with lettuce. Or Drink the water of 2 coconuts with Nature's First Food or some other green superfood blend in order to increase mineralization.

Canola oil, made from the seeds of a cabbage family plant, is usually fresh and rarely expensive, even when organically grown. • flax seed OIL {Linum usitatissimum) is a rich source of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. It adversely affects both the initiation and growth stages of breast cancer20 and has been shown to be anti-tumor, antimiotic, and antiviral (so long as it is not heated). I buy only absolutely fresh flax seed oil (in a dated bottle) and keep it frozen or refrigerated. Rancid flax seed oil can cause vomiting and purging. The price of this oil restricts its use.

She theorizes that the photons of the sunlight, which she calls "sun electrons," are attracted by sun-like electrons resonating in our own biological systems, especially in the double-bonded electron cloud found in our lipid systems and in the omega-3 fatty acids such as we get in flax seed. These sunlight electrons, called "pi-electrons," have the ability within our molecular structure to attract and activate the sun photons. Dr. Budwig believes that the energy we absorb from these solar photons acts as an anti-entropy or anti-aging, factor.

We can double the conversion factor to 6% if we consume hemp seed or flax seed and their oils with coconut oil (a great idea). We can also get the long-chain omega 3 fatty acids from the same place fish get it - algae. Purslane (a wild herb) and blue-green algae from Klamath Lake (a popular healthfood store item) contain long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. Also, golden algae can be dried and pressed for its raw oil which is super-high in long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. This algae oil is called DHA and is essentially a vegetarian form of fish oil.

Omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids are found in an excellent ratio in flax seed oil. Because of their unique biochemical structure, fats "cut" or disguise more potent substances. This is why milk is used in coffee. It is also why avocados go well with hot chilies. In Mexico they eat young coconut flesh (high-fat) with chilies and fresh lime juice. Fats tone down "hot" foods (such as ginger, garlic, chiles, etc.). Fatty foods slow the release of sugars already in the digestive track.

Infinite Hold flax seed Finishing Spray above, except this provides a slightly softer hold. Otherwise, the same comments apply. © Take Shape Mint Balm Spray Gel, Medium Hold ($10.49 for 5.1 ounces) works well as a light-hold spray gel with conditioning agents, but the amount of balm-mint leaf extract is great enough to cause scalp irritation (you'll feel a tingle as soon as this hits the scalp), so it is not recommended. © Whip Into Shape, Chamomile Cream Pomade ($10.99 for 3.4 ounces) contains sodium polystyrene sulfonate, a film-forming agent that can strip hair color and cause dryness.

Infinite Hold flax seed Finishing Spray ($13.19 for 10.2 ounces) is a standard, but workable, aerosol hairspray that, despite being described as "unscented," contains fragrance.

Nuts, seeds, grains, and cereals are high in silicon. flax seed, sunflower seed, and sesame seeds are especially good sources. Other generally basic sources include alfalfa, apples, apricots, asparagus, barley, beans, beets and beet greens, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cherries, com, dandelion greens, dates, figs, greens in general, horseradish, kohlrabi, millet, nectarines, onions, parsnips, pomegranates, raisins, pumpkin, brown rice, wild rice, spinach, sprouted seeds, strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, watermelon, wheat bran, wheat germ, and whole wheat.

As a result of her theory, she believes that live foods, and particularly flax seed, which contains three highly active electron clouds in the double bonds, helps bring a tremendous amount of pi-electrons into the system. On the other end, people who eat refined, cooked, highly processed foods diminish the amount of solar electrons energizing the system and reduce the energy down from the amount necessary to create a high-electron solar resonance field. Dr. Budwig feels that processed foods may even act as insulators to the healthy flow of electricity.

An extract of the DHA from golden algae is available at the Tree of Life. flax seed and hemp seed will provide most of the short-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. Coconut oil is a great oil for building ojas, as are hemp seed and macadamia nuts. Coconut oil increases the conversion of short-chain to long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids by 3-6 percent. Certain tonic herbs in general, and particularly ashwagandha, shatavari, ginseng, and licorice are good for ojas. These are what Ayurveda calls soma-producing herbs.

I'm a real big fan of hemp seed and flax seed, and those are things that you can add in your diet in many different ways. Flax crackers are a great replacement for crackers and bread. Another thing that is great to add in is seaweed. What's going to happen is we may be cut off from food for a while and we have to have the most nutritious storable food available to us in glass at home. Seaweed is a great thing to store at home. If you don't know anything about seaweed, just go into a health food store and start asking questions and get a few things. Just try some different stuff.

Mike: You also have flax seed in there. You have omega-3 oils. Newman: Yes. Wonderful fatty acids. Fatty acids are very important for the utilization of different hormones and chemicals in the body. Mike: There is also fishmeal. Newman: Again, for the fatty acids and a little flavoring. Let me talk about the fishmeal. We use Manhattan fishmeal, which is the cleanest fishmeal in the country today. It has the lowest level of mercury in it. I'm one who is very concerned about mercury in our food chain and how we are exposed to it. We know as humans how much disease it can create.

In fact, flax seed oil or any omega-3 oil, for that matter, is very good for people, so if we had a Flax Tax, Washington would have no choice but to find something healthy to do with the flax. Flax-powered vehicles You can do things other than just putting it in oatmeal, by the way. You can also use flax oil as a form of bio-diesel fuel. Right now there are diesel engines that run on vegetable oil. With a little modification, you could run them on flax oil, too.

However, if you make good decisions at the grocery store and choose, for example, to purchase healthy oils -- like macadamia nut oil, olive oil, flax seed oil or even unprocessed coconut oil -- then your chemistry is going to be much healthier. Your blood chemistry profile will be positive rather than negative. It will indicate health rather than disease. All these biochemical effects take place and, of course, affect your mental function because the brain is an organ that depends on chemistry for its function.

Clearly, omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most exciting nutrients in foods that are available to American consumers, and you can get these in everyday foods, or as nutritional supplements in things like salmon oil or flax seed oil. You can also eat chia seeds if you'd like to get some good, healthy omega-3's.

Flax seed (Linum usitatissimum) is an abundant source of dietary plant lignans, 100 to 800 times greater than 67 other common plant foods. flax seed has demonstrated anticarcinogenic effects in animal studies. In one study, mice bearing DMBA-induced mammary tumors were fed a high-fat diet (including 20% corn oil). The addition of flax seed (5% of diet) during the 21-week promotional stage reduced tumor sizes by 67% (Serraino and Thompson, 1992).

One of the best sources is linseed oil made from flax seed. Linseed oil used to be a very popular and widely consumed oil, but now is mostly available in health food stores. It is very rich in omega-3 oils, up to 60%. Omega-3 fatty acids are also found in seafood. The common vegetable oils have a lot of the omega-6 fatty acid, but are deficient in the omega-3 type. Like essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, EFAs are essential nutrients that play a major role in our health and well-being.

Oat bran or flax seed is a good source. Q Drink distilled water only. Q Make sure your diet is fruit-free, sugar-free, and yeast-free. Candida thrives in a sugary environment, so your diet should be low in carbohydrates and contain no yeast products or sugar in any form. Q Avoid aged cheeses, alcohol, baked goods, chocolate, dried fruits, fermented foods, all grains containing gluten (wheat, oats, rye, and barley), ham, honey, nut butters, pickles, potatoes, raw mushrooms, soy sauce, sprouts, and vinegar.

Pro-inflammatory Pro-cancerous Omega-3 fatty acids Sardines, mackerel, salmon, flax seed, soy, nuts Anti-inflammatory Anti-cancerous Trans fats Hydrogenated oils, shortening, margarines Polyunsaturated fats Monounsaturated fats Omega-9 Olive oil, canola oil, avocado, almonds figure 30 omega-6s may thus significantly reduce the risk of all inflammatory ailments, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. OMEGA-3S: DHA AND EPA A first hint indicating potential benefits of a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids came from studies carried out on Greenland's Inuit population.

For the same reason, avoid using flax seed oil; even though the oil is an important source of these lipids, the great sensitivity of polyunsaturated omega-3s to the oxygen in air causes a rapid degradation that will prevent you from enjoying the health benefits provided by these molecules. In summary, if a person's diet lacks vitamins, minerals, and anti-cancer compounds because he or she does not consume sufficient quantities of fruits and vegetables, the solution to the problem lies not in taking supplements, but in making profound, far-reaching changes to diet.

Since a healthy balance of flora in the large intestine prevents the recycling of excess estrogens, proper fiber intake, such as supplemental ground flax seed, as well as a probiotic supplement, is also indicated. Intestinal fungal overgrowth, or the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, needs to be addressed if present. Nutrients that support a healthy vascular system, such as vitamin C and bioflavonoids, may help by improving circulation. Botanical Medicines Botanicals that have progesterogenic effects (such as chaste berry) are useful in the treatment of endometriosis.

One of the best sources is linseed oil made from flax seed. Linseed oil used to be a very popular and widely consumed oil but now is mostly available in health food stores. It is very rich in omega-3 oils, up to 60 percent. One to four tablespoonfuls per day are used. Also one may use ground flax seed as a meal, though it should be stored cold as it goes rancid very quickly. This can be added to cereal in the morning or to any food, for that matter. The common vegetable oils have a lot of the omega- 6 fatty acid but are deficient in the omega-3 type.
