flax seed oil must be fresh pressed (refrigerated) and completely mixed (with a blender) with a sulfur based protein like cottage cheese in order to provide health value (this is a common cancer protocol known to work). otherwise it is harmful. |

Yes - I always get a headache when I take flaxseed oil in a capsule. I have seeds, but they have been stored for a while. They smell like oil paints (like linseed oil). Out they go! Thanks for the info on unstable oils! |

My son has severe food allergy and respond to atopic eczema. I let him drink one teaspoon of flaxseed oil for three days. I found he got weak and very rough skin all over the body .Especially on his back. He also has on his face redness after taking the oil. I put in the youghurt so the method I use should be fine. The next day his skin on the face has no redness but still rough skin and also the body. I found that if I stop to feed him then his skin recovered a lot.
Just wonder why we use the correct method but still has clearly skin problem ? Should I keep feed him?Does that need a period to let the body get use to it? |

I started taking flax seed yesterday, and experienced no trouble. However, when I took it today, within twenty minutes I was vomiting. I do not recommend taking this supplement. |

Obviously a number of us experience more side effects using flax oil. I have experienced similar problems with both flaxseed oil and evening primrose oil: lower abdominal cramps and a stitching pain in my mid back. Mild headaches sometimes accompany as well. |

I started taking flaxseed a day ago and started feeling dizzy and lightheaded the same day I took it. I took about 2 tablespoons the first day. I took both in my coffee. I tried it again today with the same results, feeling lightheaded. I bought the flaxseed whole and grounded it myself. Will this go away after I get use to it or is this a side effect for some people? |

Yesterday I took two tablespoons of flaxseed oil mixed with 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese and had a bad dream. This morning almost couldn't get up to work. And I didn't release it is because of the flaxseed oil. So this morning before work, I took 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil mixed with two spoons of cottage cheese. The whole day I had bad headache, sensitive to light and noise, dizzy, stomach stir up, heart palpulation, frequent bowl movement and breathing problem, almost fall down in the bus. I am going to return the bottle to the store. |

I have just finished my first bottle of organic linseed oil and have noticed two changes in my health. The first was very positive in that my skin looks brighter however a more worrying aspects has been with my breasts. I am post menopausal and have noticed that my breasts are slightly more tender and fuller. I have purchased another bottle but I think it will be my last. |

INFO I HAVE GATHERED OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF HAVING USED FLAX // LINSEED OIL FOR RELIEF OF CONGESTION & COUGHS as A CHILD SUCCESSFULLY and TO SOME DEGREE AS AN ADULT IS, THAT IT HAS NOW BEEN SHOWN THAT FLAX SEED OIL IS VERY UN-STABLE and OXIDISES RAPIDLY TO A TOXIC FORM OF OIL (HENCE ITS SUCCESS IN KILLING BORER BEETLE IN WOOD and WOOD PROTECTION) IT IS ADVISED NOW TO ONLY CONSUME THE FRESH SEEDS THAT HAVE JUST BEEN FRESHLY GROUND. ALL SEEDS and NUTS SHOULD BE FRESH, VACUUM PACKED and UN-HEATED TO AVOID TOXIC CHANGES TO THEIR OILS. IF YOU HAVE A GUARANTEED, FRESH PRODUCT and GRIND IT JUST BEFORE EACH USE , and DO NOT HEAT IT , THE ALPHA LINOLENIC ACID CAN BE CONVERTED BY THE BODY TO ITS USEABLE FORMS OF DHA and EPA AS LONG AS THE B VITAMINS and THE CORRECT ENZYMES ARE PRESENT . SALMON OIL HAS THE EPA and DHA already CONVERTED , BUT ALL OILS SHOULD BE FRESH and COLD PRESSED , PROTECTED FROM LIGHT and HEAT, and NOT COOKED WITH IF IT IS A POLYUNSATURATE ALL OF WHICH ARE UNSTABLE and become TOXIC if NOT used AS DISCRIBED. THE ONLY STABLE OILS FOR COOKING ARE THE MONO -UNSATURATES LIKE OLIVE OIL and FRYING and BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED , BRAISING and BAKING IS BETTER . SATURATED FATS LIKE BUTTER ARE STABLE FATS FOR COOKING, BUT USE IN MODERATION, ALL OILS BECOME OUR ENEMIES IF NOT HANDLED IN THIS CAREFULL WAY BUT AMAZING HELPERS IF WE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THEM. FLAX SEED OIL IS PARTICULARLY UNSTABLE and SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF PRODUCED and KEPT IN METICULOUS CONDITIONS ,, SO BEST TO AVOID IT. unless YOU ARE VERY SURE OF PRODUCTION METHODS., AS ANY OIL IN TOXIC FORM WILL CAUSE INFLAMMATION, and THESE FORMS ARE NOW BEING POINTED OUT AS CARCINOGENS...NOTE I AM 69yrs AND A WOMAN WITH 40 yrs OF EXPERIENCE AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ,NOW RETIRED and looking at AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID THE PITALLS THAT WE ARE NOW LEARNING EXIST. IN OUR DIET. |

I decided to make a salad dressing with flax seed oil. I poured it all over my potatoes today and guess what? I am just feeling the same way some one described here, stomach cramps, gas, my head feels heavy, kind of tired. I hope all this will go away soon. I keep thinking as soon as I get home I will throw away that bottle of flax seed. bad bad bad... |

Since I have been taking Flaxseed oil 1000mgs (about a year), I have recently had eisodes of heart palputations and was hospitalized, however, nothing physically was found wrong.
Has anyone had a similar experience that might be associated with Flaxseed oil or any other vitamines or herbs? |

I started taking ground flaxseed and was having abdonimal pain, gas and waking up at 3:00 am with pain. I had to sleep on 3 pillows to elevate myself to sleep. I quit taking it and feel better again. |

It was recommended that I add flaxseed oil supplements to help relieve symptoms of dry and itchy eyes due to roscea...after being on it for a few weeks I started having pretty substantial pain in my joints, especially my knees...in thinking back to what I had changed, I decided that I would stop taking the flaxseed oil and within 2 days, my symptoms stopped. |
