Flax Seed is not for everyone. It is an amazing little seed, but what might be good for one may but another in the hospital. I heard one woman,s unbelievable story last night.
Moral. We are all different and our bodies react differently to things we put in them. Start out slow whit new additions. See how you react. Your body will tell you if it’s happy.

So, what is flax seed oil and should we try it?
Flax seed oil is highly recommended by many in the wellness field for the general well being and whole body nutrition. It is considered to be nature’s richest source of omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the health of almost all body systems. Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc. It is truly an amazing little seed that provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from taking some fish oil. (Not ours, but not all are as good as ours. 
Some nutritionists and even scientists believe that Flax Seed could be the most important health-promoting supplement next to your multi-vitamin. That’s huge! So, why do they say that?

Something to consider-
The manufacturing process used to produce flaxseed oil (and all other delicate, highly unsaturated oils, including fish oils) is very important to their quality and health benefits. There are three ways to get flax oil from flaxseeds. Seeds can be soaked in a chemical solvent, but this process damages the oil and leaves toxic residues from the chemical solvent. Air pressure (called supercritical extraction) can be used. This method appears to safe. And last, the oil can be pressed out of the seeds using an expeller process.
The expeller pressing is the method to me makes the most cencse. Here is the downside, pressing the oil from the seed requires a lot of force, and a good amount of heat can be generated during the expelling process and cause damage. For now, this unknown. Don’t let “cold pressed” on a flax oil label fool you. This just means that no additional source for heating was used. Naturally occurring high temperatures were still reached during the extraction process.
Some companies take steps to prevent this heat build-up. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer of the flax seed oil product of interest and inquire about the methods that this manufacturer used in the oil’s production.
