Why is BioNatures' Flax such a powerful healer?

by Dr. Michael Loes

Americans eat too much of the wrong fats - and far too few of the right ones. That's why most of us are seriously lacking essential omega-3 fatty acids, needed for healthy, cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammatory response, fat metabolism, and immune support. Cold-pressed organic flax seed oil is the purest, richest source of omega-3 fatty acids on earth. Cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil is the purest, richest source of omega-3 fatty acids on earth. And BioNatures' flaxseed oil products are the only products to meet the exceptionally high standards of Dr. Johanna Budwig, a renowned German biochemist who is considered the world’s leading authority on fats and oils.

There is no magic bullet, no miracle pill. I wish I could tell you there was, but it just isn’t so. However, there is one all natural food supplement that is absolutely amazing in its simplicity and its ability to heal and prevent disease. It was first recommended by the father of medicine, Hippocrates, in the fifth century BC. It has been used as a daily, staple food throughout Europe for thousands of years. Yet, it was not introduced to the United States until 1986. I first learned about it after reading a little-known lecture delivered by Dr. Johanna Budwig on November 2, 1959, in the Zurich Conference Center in Switzerland. She cited a study done at the Cancer Research Institute in Paris that showed, among other things, that the only substance that characterized the cancerous cells from the healthy ones was isolated fat; the formation of fat in the cell nucleus, cell body and cytoplasm. It was the single distinguishing feature of cancerous cells in contrast to healthy ones*.

That was enough to whet my appetite for more. And what I discovered changed the way I looked at disease prevention. The human body requires fat. Sounds bad, doesn’t it? In America all we hear is how we should avoid fat that it is bad for you. What “the experts” neglect to tell you is that the body REQUIRES essential fats and cannot make them. Therefore, we MUST get them from our diet. The problem is most foods have the GOOD fats processed out of them. But there’s more. is 4:1. Only one food has the perfect 4:1 ratio of linoleic (omega 3) to linolenic (omega 6) required by the human body for optimum health. But there is so much more.
