Thank you for your question. Ground flax seed is considered a good concentrated source of omega 3 fatty acids. Those with MS following the Swank Diet, which is a low fat diet devised by Dr. Roy Swank specifically for treating MS, are instructed by him to use a teaspoon of cod liver oil for this purpose. Those of us applying the principles of his low fat diet to a vegan and oil free diet, such as Dr. McDougall recommends for MS, often use the ground flax as a good substitute for the cod liver oil. In his original book on the diet, Dr. Swank does mention that if you can’t tolerate the fish oil to use flax oil. I and some others use the ground flax because we prefer to be completely oil free, as Dr. Esselstyn advises in his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. In that book he advises taking a tablespoon of ground flax a day to support the overall health of the vascular system, which is very similar to Dr. Swank’s suggestion.It seems to work for me so that’s what I do.

And thank you very much for your kind and lovely words about my words. It certainly does help to know we are not alone in this!

Maria

Please excuse my ignorance on this issue, but I was wondering why you take flax, or if that is too personal, what the benefits of adding daily flax to a FF, GF, vegan diet are. I like flax and use it often but don’t know too much about it and am wondering if i should add more to my diet after seeing this! Do you take it instead of daily vits?
PS- I have been reading your blog, but have never commented before and want to say your words are filled beauty and your personality really shines through your writing! Thank you for sharing your voice and courage with us. It helps to know a body is not alone in this.

It has been such a pleasant way for me to have some quiet time during my day. I pour over your words with a longing inside to once and for all say goodbye to the foods that aren’t life giving. I am baby stepping my way there…trusting those instincts as you say.

Grateful for your experiences and how your legacy will reach so many in search of a freer life.

Blessings!
