I have enjoyed everyone's feedback for a few weeks now. Without
going into the archives to attempt to determine the answer myself, I
would like to ask the group if the majority of you are, in fact,
battling a disease or do you take flaxseed oil as a preventive
measure? Personally, I'm convinced of the efficacy of Essential
Fatty Acids to protect us from a variety of ailments and I use it for
that purpose (in my case, mild arthritis).
The reason I ask is this: I participate on a discussion board where
melanoma patients of every "stage" post their treatments--the vast
majority of which involve conventional medicine (radiation, drugs and
surgery). I mentioned that I had read quite a bit about Johanna
Budwig's alleged cure for a variety of ailments, including cancer.
Since the "treatment" is innocuous and involves a nutrient (EFA) we
need anyway, why not incorporate the Budwig Diet with the view
that "it can't hurt and might help, so why not?"
Well, you'd have thought I asked them to dance naked in Times Square
as part of their treatment. On a conventional discussion board,
you're practically drawn and quartered for endorsing (or even
suggesting) anything other than pharmaceuticals, surgery or
radiation, it appears, but that particular board is dedicated to
melanoma (my particular focus), so I continue to visit and post. Now
I'm wondering, however, how many Budwig success stories of cures for
actual diseases do we have among the 600+ members of this board?
Any feedback? Thanks.
