Re: "Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill" and flax oil

Hi, Laughinggrrl, yes I am reading the book...I've been skipping around from chapter to chapter...but last night I actually attempted to begin at the beginning...all about the chains of fatty acids and how the body can insert molecules & all that to make what it needs. Our bodies are amazing! I'm sure that this portion of the book is much easier reading for you than it is for me, considering you have a background in science. Udo DOES do a good job of putting things into layman's terms,...but still...I will be needing to study this portion.

As far as supplementing, I, too, am using Udo's 3-6-9. It's quite good! I've been using it for approximately 3 weeks now...I'm not sure what it's doing for me...my skin and hair look good...I've also been using coconut oil as a moisturizer & as a hair treatment. I've been swishing with flax for a while now and while I found the taste to be repulsive at first, now I like it! And my gums like it, too! They "tingle" after swishing.

What I've learned so far from skipping around the book is what I've been doing "right" over time, and what I've been doing wrong...but that's a whole 'nother post. Keep reading, learning & sharing! :D
