Re: Dr. Weil likes flouride

I personally always got an increase of PMS symptoms, mainly breast tenderness while either eating flax seed or oil.

I also know of several horses who react to it negatively, mainly mares it seems. One mare is a very nice mare but she always had this look in her eyes that she was about to jump out of her skin. She just did not seem to feel well in her own body. It almost looked like she was internally torn between emotions.

When I learned that the owner was feeding her about a cup of flax seed a day, I asked her to remove it, just to see what would happen. 30 days later I get an e-mail from her, thrilled to thank me that she had her horse back and that she's never seen her calmer :-)

My friend also found that her mare became more frazzled while eating a new supplement that is primarily flax based. She had to take her off of it.

Flax is high in phytoestrogens and this may cause problems in some individuals.
