Does anyone know how long Linomel keeps? I understand it will keep for a while as it is ground flaxseeds in honey and the honey will preserve the flax seeds. I was thinking of making linomel candy, dark chocolate with a linomel center, as a convenient way to get my mid morning and afternoon flaxseed dose. Does anyone know the ratio of ground flax seed to honey in Linomel?

Thanks

Syd

hi Syd,

In one of my books it says the ratio of flax seed to honey is 6 to 1.

I'm not sure if using chocolate as part of your recipe is such a good
idea, since Dr. Budwig's diet says no caffeine. There is a cocoa
powder you can buy that is 99% caffeine free. It's called Wonder Cocoa
and I get it online at The Better Health Store at this link.

Some health food stores carry it too.

Thanks Carol.

You wouldn't happen to know how long linomel keeps would you?

What about flax seed oil's estrogenic properties? any reason that would be a
negative for estrogen positive, premenopausal breast cancer patient?

THank you!

hi Syd,


I'm still learning all this too, but from what I've read, if you're
buying the actual Linomel product, the honey in it acts as sort of a
preservative and you keep it in the fridge, but I'm not sure for how
long. Maybe someone else can let us know.

When you grind your own flax seeds, you should only grind as much as
you're going to eat right away. Two of my books say that, so that's
what I've been doing, just grinding for each meal. I don't add the
honey, I just sprinkle the ground flax on whatever I'm eating, oatmeal
or raw mueseli, smoothies or on top of a salad that I made my dressing
for with the fo/cc mixture.

Vanessa,

Flaxseed oil does not have any estrogenic properties.

Ground flaxseeds have compounds called phytoestrogens, but that is a different form of estrogen that causes problems. Indications so far suggest that it helps to lower the estrogen dominance in women and also in men.

This is from Dr. Mercola's site:
"Ground flaxseed may contain compounds that protect postmenopausal women from breast cancer Blood levels of specific estrogens linked to increased risk for breast cancer decreased significantly with flax supplementation.
Previous studies have suggested that naturally occurring compounds called phytoestrogens, work to lower levels of circulating estrogens linked to breast cancer. Flaxseed is especially high in one such phytoestrogen, lignan, which is thought to inhibit estrogen production."


Or look at this:
"Lignans subdue cancerous changes once they've occurred, rendering them less likely to race out of control and develop into full-blown cancer, " says flax researcher Lilian Thompson, Ph.D., professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto.

Lignans show particular promise for battling breast cancer. They do this by blocking the effects of estrogen, which, over time, seems to increase breast cancer risk in some women. Even when estrogen-sensitive tumors get a chance to grow, lignans exert a restraining influence that can slow or even halt their growth. In a laboratory study, breast tumors in animals given flaxseed shrank by 50 percent in seven weeks.

THanks, I've seen this. i didn't know that the oil itself did not share these
properties.

I don't know what to make of these things because before i went for surgery,
i started a diet including milk and flax ans fermented soy and several
phytoestrogenic supplements, etc, and the tumor grew really, really fast sending me
directly to the first surgeon who would take me. and if one talks to a medical
oncologist (who admittedly dont seem to know anythign aobut estrogen in
general, and less about phyto and xeno estrogens) they say avoid all estrogenic
substances. since i am premenopausal, most of the studies really don't say much
about me with loads of estrogen in my body. i beleive, based on my extreme
allergies to pesticides and my location (pesticide capital of the world) and
some esposure I had to urethane while nursing and pesticides right before getting
pregnant, that xeno-estrogens caused my cancer. then i tested 87% ER
positive, which is very high for a premenopausal woman's tumor. so i'm still trying
to figure out soy, but it seems the other phytoestrogens are unavoidable. it
isnt like i can stop eating beand. we live on them here as i don't like meat and
my kids need more than broccoli :)

thank you again for all of your help.

Hi Vanessa...welcome and sorry for your plight. Flaxseeds act in much the
same manner as tamoxifen -- a drug that you will undoubtedly be offered at
some point in your journey. The phytoestrogens they contain bind with estrogen
receptors thereby preventing the natural estrogen you produce from doing so.
This is one of the more beneficial effects of flax seed. There are many
others. You have come to the right place.
Take care,

Flaxseed oil has no estrogen. The oil is just that , oil.

Its healing property is omega 3.
