Hi All,
I forgot that I was supposed to post a folowup, after having a little arthritis flare last week. As you recall, I once again resumed my old routine of taking glucosamine sulphate, and flax oil, each day.
It worked amazingly well. In two days, the pain was completely gone, and by the third day, the swelling was all gone. I'll try to remember not to stop taking those supplements, in the future, since I obviously still need them.
Love,
Wayne

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Hi Tex,
Did I ever tell you that my husband takes glucosomine and chondroitan in an aloe liquid? The interesting part is that his knee surgeon suggested he try it because of a patient he'd had who was inexplainabely (sp?) rehabilitated. The surgeon said that the man's knee was crushed, and should not have healed to complete movement, in all his experience. It's a long story, but because of the suppliments, he healed in record time and with complete range of motion. The doctor is one recognized nationwide as an expert in knee reconstruction and replacement surgery.
Since my husband absolutely doesn't believe in suppliments, or even in balanced nutrition, for him to take a product, and to have it work more than anything he'd tried, was something. He became something of an evangelist.
Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir . . . See ya, Marsha

Good for you Tex! I have started glucosimine and Flax seed oil again too. I use to take it and like JJ I stopped but can't remember why.
Hazel....I use to put flax seed on my salads and most cold foods. I'm not sure how much seed you have to eat but I like the softgels and I have started using the seed again as well. I keep herbs here at home and alot of essensial oils...they work wonderfully. Love Oma

Whole flax seed is indigestable. The pericarp, (shell), of the seed is impervious to the human digestive system. You can buy milled flax seed that can be digested, though.

The flax seed you are using may be milled. Milling probably just involves scarifying the pericarp, so that it is vulnerable to digestive juices.
Yes, the seed should be beneficial, since it contains the oil.

Interesting site Wayne.
I am especially interested about the milling scarifying the pericarp, so that it is vulnerable to digestive juices. I was wondering if the same would be true for soy & linseed. Can't tolerate either any more & when I had them they came out looking exactly the way they went in. That is the problem for me with most nine grain or multi grain breads.
Love

Liz,
I believe it's true for virtually all hard shelled seeds. Even cattle can't digest most of them, even though they have a much more extensive digestive system than we have.
A little over a hundred years ago, the only mesquite trees in Texas, were in deep South Texas, primarily because the buffalo herds never migrated that far south. (Well, actually, they are bison, but for some reason, Americans have always called them buffalo, probably because the name "Bison Bill" just didn't sound right).
Once ranchers started trading cattle, though, the cattle carried the mesquite beans in their digestive systems, and eventually the mesquite trees populated almost the entire state, except for East texas, where the pine trees provide too much competition for sunlight. Cattle also cannot digest whole corn, unless it is cracked, or otherwise scarified, or unless they chew it well enough to break all the kernals.
Of course, in your case, MC causes incomplete digestion, when it is active. Incidentally, raw soybeans are toxic to cattle. A ration that includes as little as 2% raw soybeans, will give cattle uncontrollable diarrhea. That's why soybeans are roasted before being added to a cattle ration.
Love,
Wayne
