Hi All,

I have been reading a lot about the good effects of flax oil(fatty oils) in cancer. Dr. Budwig's diet has been advocating flax seed oil as the miracle cure.

I have seen many kinds of flax seed oils being sold. There's also one targeted only for women. I would really appreciate any information on the benefits of this oil fro cancer prevention and cure.

Flax is good for you, but I feel a mix of omega 3 sources is better, example would be to take a tablespoon of flax oil once a day along with 2 g fish oil per day.  The body must convert flax to DHA and does not do this with great efficiency while fish oil is already converted.  Flax is great but do not skip the fish oil.  Also, evening primrose oil is great for women, it is a health omega 6 essential fat.  You coould do a daily fish oil, flax oil and primrose oil.
