Flax and flaxseed oil contain twice as much omega-3 fatty acids as fish oil products, and cost significantly less than the fish oils. Dr. Herb Joiner-Bey has written a book, "The Healing Power of Flax," detailing more than 100 ways to add flax to a person's diet, and lists more than 40 diseases which omega-3 fatty acids are thought to help fight.


With many of Tinsletown's glitterati and world-class professional athletes increasingly recognizing the nutritional benefits of flaxseed oil, Dr. Herb Joiner-Bey launches the perfect definitive guide with his new book release- The Healing Power of Flax. In this book, the doctor explains why readers should also add flaxseed oil as their daily supplement, and spells out the amazing properties of flax as nature's richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids. He identifies more than 40 common diseases that the body can fight more effectively with the addition of Omega-3s in the diet, covering heart disease, diabetes, cancer and more. The Healing Power of Flax is a comprehensive guide to the benefits of flax and contains over 100 easy ways to add this super natural food to our diet.
