more raving about flax seed oil

This morning I noticed something interesting: I feel pretty good. I feel healthy. I trotted down the stairs this morning without even noticing my lame leg. And then what I finally noticed was, well, that I wasn't noticing it.

This is not to say that the tumor is gone--it's not. I'm still suffering from periodic dizziness and sometimes I fall right over. I'm certain that anyone watching me from afar is thinking I'm some transient drunk who can't even pull it together enough to take care of her own kids.

But I feel strong and healthy. I went for a run this morning. Well, okay, maybe it was more like a trot with intermittent stumbles, but I have energy and I have lots of things I want to do. This is what I remember as being healthy.

It has to be the flax seed oil. There's no other explanation. I've been reading Johanna Budwig's book on this cure she was so certain did miracles; not only did the flax seed oil work wonders for her cancer and heart patients, but it also had the added benefit of easing depression.

And I think it is so. I've suffered from periodic depression my entire life, and with my body so beat down at the moment and with my prospects so dismal (at least as far as the medical establishment is concerned), you'd think my mental state would be even worse. Yet it is not. It's better, and I've been upbeat and energetic for months now. At first I kept attributing the phenomenon to the steroids, but I'm not taking any medication at all anymore. Not even Ibuprofen. I don't need it, because I have no pain. No headaches, not even a foot cramp. I can't even remember the last time I could sleep through the night without a double-dose of Tylenol: I was always getting cramps in my back or, at the very least, waking up with the "night dreads" because I was so stressed out. Not anymore.

Of course, a good kick in the seat so that you wake up and notice how good you've got it never hurts, either. I can think of lot of people who could use a kick in the backside. In fact, I'd like to personally give it to them.

Heheh.

Johanna Budwig's book is called Flax Oil As A True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer and Other Diseases.
