Flaxseed Oil

[siemerh]

I have read reports that a tablespoon of flaxseed oil taken daily will improve the P condition. Anyone have experience here?

Hello,

I am currently taking flaxseed oil supplements. In conjuction, I am taking borage oil, cod liver oil and evening primrose oil. A total of 8 grams per day.

Anyway, I have been taking them for 2 months and the lesions became flatter and softer. I recently started Dovonex and Cormax to clear the lesions, but I believe without the tough skin, the medication can absorb easier. I'm already starting to clear.

I have not read that taking the oil can harm you. So, what have you got to lose?

I am using Omega 3 Fish oil and grape seed extract with some success as well..

I'm taking Flax Seed Oil along with Fish Oil. It's been around 6 months now and I have not noticed any improvements in my Psoriasis.

I have tried Flaxseed oil and fish oil, 1000mg twice a day for over a year and have NOT noticed any improvements in my Psoriasis. I am now going to try freshly ground flaxseed and see what happens.

I'm thinking about trying either Fortified Flax supplement or
the Sea Cucumber pill.

Has anyone tried these, and if so how are the results?

I've been on steroid and Dovonex creams for 3 yrs and am tired of the infrequent results.

I took flaxseed oil in pill form (not the actual oil), but i coudn't stand the discusting burps that would come along w/ it. I took Green Tea Extract for about a year, and I did see results. I also sprayed green tea (the actual tea) on my skin and sat out in the sun. That also thinned my psoriasis. I haven't been able to do that in a while, because during the sunny part of the day, i'm at work! Also, at Kohls (i'm not sure if you have a Kohls store around you) they have a VERY good green tea lotion and body wash. Green Tea is actually good for a lot of things, and since heart trouble runs in my family, i decided that it wouldn't hurt to take it (killing 2 birds w/ one stone)...
I've heard that black tea is even better than green... so i'm going to look into that as well....

Thanks! Green Tea must be a catch all. I will definetely give that a try. Did you notice normal skin thinning too, or just the psoraisis?

I do have Kohls near by and should look in to that.

[lynz]

no, didn't notice any problems w/ the rest of my skin.
Green Tea is great, it's high anti-oxidents.
You can apply it to your skin--the only problem is, you smell like a huge tea bag! I think combined (taking the pill and spraying it on) really helped. It didn't "get rid of it" of course... but i did see results!

Let me know if it works for you!

It makes my skin very smooth but does nothing for P

Where can you purchase all of these products??

[kj422]

Flaxseed and Fish Oil can both be purchased at Walmart! Very cheap too!

I am taking both as part of BARNEY'S FORMULA. Along with the other supplements I have seen a great deal of improvement!! You may want to think about add the other supplements and see what happens. I am not sure taking the two oils by themselves would help show clearning.
GOOD LUCK!
