DONATION

HELP SEND FLAX TO ZAMBIA - MAKE A DONATION NOW



These reports are a small sampling of the many testimonials that continue to pour in to our organization.

40   -M, Colorado, Brain Cancer 06/09

"Last January I got some flax hull lignans for a friend who had a brain tumor.  She is a young mom and was devastated to be told that it would keep growing back and that she could expect only about 5 more years of life.  She started taking the FHL in December and a recent MRI showed that the brain tumor has actually shrunk in size, much to her doctor's surprise.  Not only that, she hasn't been sick a day since she started taking it!"

40   Mr. Sirois, Prostate Cancer 06/09

 "I have prostate cancer with metastasis in my bones, knees, hips, shoulders and other places in my back.  Too late for Chemo or Radiation.  In May 2008, my doctor decided to give me 4 chemo treatments to lower my p.s.a. count.  At the time it was 50 something.  After 4 treatments it was 94.7, so doc stopped everything.  At that time the good Lord provided a friend who sent me some flax hull lignans.  I started immediately on it.  In September my p.s.a. was 46.2 (from 94.7!).  In October it was 43.1 and still going down.  In January 2009, I also added a product called Dr. Budwig and take that with flax lignans every day.  My p.s.a. is now 26.3 and my night trips to the bathroom are reduced to one.  First I was given 18 months to live.  It will be 3 years this February!"


40   Musa, AIDS Testimony - Tanzania 06/09

We have a new orphanage in Tanzania just trying the flax hull lignans.  Here is an email report that came into our office this week! This shows the amazing, explosive nutritional benefits of FHL.
 
Subj: Amazing Flax Report from Tanzania!
Musa, is only one year old and has HIV. He was given the flax lignans and they documented his case well. At the start he weighed only 3.5 kgs, which is only 7.7 pounds! After just 30 days he grew to 6.5 kgs, which is 14.3 pounds, which means his weight almost doubled in only 30 days! It also means he is now only 2 pounds behind what a normal one year only should weigh!

 

40   James L., Oakland, MD 11/08

I have used FHL for about a month and a half.  I do not have AIDS.  I only have one lung.  The other was removed for cancer.  I was on two inhalers.  These were taken about three times a day.  In th epast month I have not used any of these.  My oxygen for my lung is about 92%.  I still have a little trouble going up the 14 steps in my basement.  I recover very fast and can do my every day things.  I am 69 years old and have not felt this good in many years.


40   Renee, Texas, Shingles 09/08

I've had a viral problem much like shingles, though one of my doctors does believe that it is shingles. Since taking the Flax Hull Lignans, I feel they are helping me control the virus. My spots are dropping off and I feel more energy now.


40   Herald, by wife Shirlee in Ohio, Prostate Cancer 09/08

When my husband first started taking the Flax Hull Lignans 5 months ago, his PSA dangerously high. After taking the lignans for a month, his PSA had dropped by 40%. Then having it checked another time, it was only slightly above normal levels for his age. The last check showed PSA levels at normal levels.

Our doctor initially mentioned that there were some discrepancies. Basically, he was questioning what was making my husband better, the doctor's prescription for increased appetite or the Flax Hull Lignans. However, his is doing so well at this time he no longer needs the appetite medication. Also, the nurses in the office have been following right along with my husband's case and they told me that they'd never seen such a drastic drop in PSAs. The doctor has recently told my husband to stop taking what he was giving him and only continue on the flax. My husband has a lot less pain and is starting to gain back his weight!


40   Tim, by Mona in AZ, Diabetes, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, vascular Disease, Other 09/08

I so want to share the good news and thank you from the bottom of my heart. My friend/client Tim has been ill nearly 12 years, with high blood pressure, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, vascular disease and severe heart problems along with cholesterol/triglycerides and allergies to all statins and many other drugs. Our good doctor who believes it is his job to cure, has been more than willing to find us something that would work naturally. Well so far he hasn't, but I took the info to him on Flax Hull Lignans and he said take it and we shall see, come in for testing in 30 days.

This is the results of our first 30 days!!

was now
Cholestoral 278 258
Triglycerides 375 244
HDL 55 59
VLDL 63 49
LDL 161 150

I myself, call this a MIRACLE! I am grateful to those of you who are doing all of this wonderful research and keeping us updated on successes. We are most anxious to see the next 30 day results and the next. Can't wait for our next doctor visit to see what he says. Of course we have lots of questions but will ask those at a later date. I will keep you informed. God Bless one and all for being so diligent and sharing with HSI as I have been getting info from them all along.


40   Dianne and Dave Hansen, from MT



My husband, Dave, and I are very centered on rebuilding and maintaining our health and strength. Over the years, we've tried many different supplements and dietary changes and the removal of mercury and other toxins from our bodies. My husband has bipolar tendencies and I, myself, have been hospitalized (comatose) for electrolyte imbalance. We've both felt on the verge of mental or emotional or physical imbalance for years.

With the addition of ARAI's flax hull concentrate to our diet, we are seeing stupendous healing of our bodies and our lives! We started out taking 1 scoop each morning, but then we went on vacation and were exposed to the flu. Our immune systems were compromised because we had been on a sugar binge while we were on vacation. So when our flu symptoms began to overtake us, we both took a scoop of flax hull concentrate and felt stronger in a matter of 15 minutes. Because I felt that change in my symptoms, I knew we should take the concentrate again in the morning and again the next evening. As it turned out, our flu was cut short and we learned to take the concentrate twice a day instead of once.

Our constipation is gone (that's serious!) and our energy has picked up tremendously. Dave works in the woods from daylight to dark-thirty with great stamina and strength. I feel bright and practically run through my day, instead of walking...

I can hardly wait until the affiliate program for this product is set up online and we can help spread the good news that HEALTH CAN BE REBUILT! We emphasize the importance of diet on our website: Dave Changes His Bipolar Mind. www.enjoyingyourhealth.com.


40   Kate G -- Cancer Patient

8/07/07 I was asked by Bob H. to send you an e mail about what taking flaxseed lignans has done for my life....

I was diagnosed about three and a half years ago with a pituitary macroadenoma. I underwent surgery to have the tumour debulked, although a large portion of it has grown around the carotid arteries and was inoperable. I had radiotherapy after surgery and as a result my pituitary gland was destroyed. This was about a year and a half ago, and the last mri scan shows that the tumour is still just under 5cm in diameter and has not started to shrink or breakdown yet from the radiotherapy.

I have to take cortisone three times a day (as a cortisol replacement) as well as elxtroxin (thyroid replacement). When the doctors are happy that the tumour is no longer growing, I will also start growth hormone therapy. As my pituitary gland no longer functions, I have been extremely tired and without any energy. I was given flax seed lignans by Bob H. about 2 months ago, and since then my energy levels are back to normal - I no longer fall asleep by 7pm or when I sit down after work to have a cup of coffee!! I have also cut down on the cortisone without feeling any side effects or tiredness. My field of vision was tested about 2 weeks ago, and although the tumour is so big and is pressing in the optic nerve (as shown in an mri scan of February 2007), the field of vision of my right eye is 100% normal, and only a small area near the blind spot of my left eye is affected. The previous test showed that I was losing peripheral vision in both eyes. This last test is 100% improvement.

I believe that the flaxseed has played a major role in improving my quality of life and energy levels, as well as my eye sight. I believe that the next mri scan will show that the tumour has started to shrink, if not altogether disappeared, as God has given me a promise that He will heal me and that it will be a miracle all for His glory, and He who promised is faithful.

39   Diana M. of Farmington, CT (USA) -- Cancer Treatment - Chemo Side Effects

05/01/07 -- Thank you for shipping the flax hull lignans. I received them on Thursday April 19th. I started on it immediately. As I stated in my phone call on April 17th, I was very ill from my 2nd chemo treatment. I was out of work for the whole week. Weak, vomiting, nauseous, heartburn with very bad stomach pains. Within 4 hours of taking the lignans in a glass of water, I as able to relieve the constipation that was also making me sick. It is now 5 days later and I am back to work. I'm still a little shaky, but I am able to keep food down and am building up my strength. I am looking forward to staying on this product in the future. Thank you again. I believe you have saved my life.


38   Tendayi Musadzirumha - Zimbabwe -- For His Aunt - An AIDS patient in Zimbabwe

I have one testimony of one of our church members who happens to be my aunt Fungisai Musadzirumha of Harare in Zimbabwe. She new that she had the virus after the death of her husbund in the year 2002. Since then she started deteriorating, having chest problems, diareah and losing alot of weight but there is a seminer that she attended that you held here in Zimbabwe were she got the flax. She took the flax once every day before she went to bed. She has recoverd very well that you can't even tell that she has the virus. She is no longer alway ill as she was before. That l can say that she is going to live longer than what she was going to before the flax. Thank you very much

37   Pastor Len Weston -- Director of South African Orphanage

I called Frans yesterday in regard to the whole flax situation. As we are running out of supplies. We have had some breakthroughs & some of our AIDs orphans are being maintained. The one young AIDS child, Lindiwe- who turned five on Sunday- should not be living, but with prayer & the flax- she is still here. Another AIDs orphan that came in with a pot belly is now looking much better since being on flax. We now have 21 orphans & we are hoping to have over 40 by the end of the year.

Several other good reports- one man with sugar diabetes has been able to reduce his insulin. Another man has been able to build up his immune system. Another lady who was continuously on blood pressure & sinus tablets, plus she had a growth in her uterus, has the following to say:

... Flax was given to me in January 2004. I feel like a different person- healthwise. I'm not taking any medication at this point- Thank you!

In Swaziland, we have several on the flax & so you can see from the reports, we are in need of getting a regular supply. The problem being, the majority of the orphans- there is no funding available. So whatever you can do over there would be a great blessing. The sooner we can get a constant supply, the better.


36   Jane - KwaZulu Natal, South Africa -- AIDS - Cancer

Since starting the flax program, I am now full of energy and glowing with health.

Earlier in the year a copper count cancer marker was registering. Subsequent tests since the flax hulls have shown that there is no sign of cancer any more in my body. The oncologist does not want to see me for another year.

Please could you send me three more containers of flax?


35   John from South Africa -- 10 Year AIDS Patient & Lymphoma

The good news is that one of my lymph glands has effectively disappeared (left side of body). I have 3 large glands on my right side, one of which has increased, another slightly decreased and the third has remained roughly the same. Additionally I have had a fairly serious chest problems (chest infection), relating to seperate lymph gland in my chest.

I will definitely continue to take the flax lignans, as I'm convinced its helping.

God bless
John


34   John - Reporting For AIDS Clinic Winston Park S.A. -- 10 Year AIDS Patient & Lymphoma

I have just returned from the clinic where we have the aids patients on the flax. Was only able to see one of the patients, but she had blood tests recently and they could not detect the AIDS virus - PRAISE GOD!!! - I still dont know if to believe it. I go back next Thursday and will hopefully get a copy of the blood report from this lady. She has had AIDS for about 10 years.

I had to email you straight away.

God bless
John


33   Debbie -- Former Multiple Occurrence Breast Cancer Survivor

My husband and I are doing great on the Flax Hull Lignans. We both have so much increased energy and are feeling tip top! Thank you ver much.


32   Karen -- HIV - Full Blown AIDS Report April 2004

I am almost 100%! I am growing stronger everyday, physically and spiritually, and mentally.

I take 1/2 scoop (1 teaspoon) of flax every day. I still have some diarrhea. I am more energetic. My stamina is increasing. I can walk, stand, lift and run again. Thank you Jesus.

Doctors are talking of taking me off some of the medications I take. WHOOPEE!

I have been helping every month with Angel Food emergency box distribution. I work on the line filling food boxes . I also do coffee, hot chocolate and cookies for all who participate. It's a great time.

I have also done lunch for our youth on Saturdays (X2). I am doing volunteer work two days a week distributing bread to the community.

I am no longer in need of a personal caregiver. A nurse comes twice monthly instead of once a week. I am capable of keeping my own house again. I do my own cooking, cleaning, laundry and shopping again. I am seeing my doctors every three months now. I am beginning to drive again. Slow process Ha Ha. I am active in church and church functions. I am looking forward to spring and summer this year. Can hardly wait to get out!!



The Lord is restoring my life. He is restoring everything in my life. Even the scars on my flesh are diminishing. I am healing inside and out. What a GREAT GOD we have.


27   Samuel Connelly -- Diabetic

My Name is Samuel Connelly, I am 26 years old and have a wife and two children. A few years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. I spent my first two weeks in the hosptal in theintensive care unit (I.C.U.) getting my fingers poked every half hour and blodd constantly taken. From there I was set up on a daily insolin plan, where I give myself a shot before every meal, and before I go to sleep.

This last year had been really bad because my sugars where staying too high and I was already taking around 40 units of insulin with every shot. I could not get my blood sugars to get down below 250 - 275,most of the time. Occasionally it would spike to 500 or 600. This was getting real normal for me until recently.

For a little over 3 months now, I have been useing this Flax, given to me by Dr. Daniel Daves. After about two weeks of continuos use I noticed a change in how I felt. I also noticed that my blood sugars were coming down. The really amazing thing here is that I have (now for the last two months) been taking it just a few times a week and my blood sugars have come down into their normal range. I have not had to give myself a shot in about TWO MONTHS! Before, I could not get my sugars to come down under 200, now it stays under 200!

I am so thankful for this Flax now because I am a big guy, but I hate shots. I hate the fear that I may not be there to see my children grow up or that my wife may have to raise them alone. I do not have this fear any more. Praise God for this effective tool that He has given us.



26   Patrick Whalen from U.S. -- Bone Cancer

10/14/03 -- My name is Patrick Whalen and I am 52 years old. I recently had a bone marrow transplant approximately 100 days ago. I have been taking flax seed for over 4 months daily. I hae a great general sense of well being and am able to focus clearly. I previously could not focus and had a very difficult time reading. I read fluently and even write with clarity again. I believe it is related to the daily flax lignans. Thank you for supplying the flax lignans.


25   John from South Africa -- Lymphoma

4/01//04 -- I'm coming up for 2 weeks on the flax and I have been very impressed. My chest seems to have loosened - there is/was a massive "mass" (lesion) in my chest and there is still a long way to go, but it seems to be improving. Some of the external lymph glands seem to have reduced marginally, although its too early to say. If this flax works, its just too good to be true (like all the best things in life).


24   Don -- Hepatitis C and his 17 year old son born with HIV

Hello again, trust you are well and stable. Taylor's over all health is much better, as in energy levels. His skin tone and nails are better. He is grateful to be on the flax lignans. His viral load is under 15,000, which is great for a chronic marijuana smoker. Myself, quite pleased to have met you plus your wonderful FLAX. My liver isn't sore or swollen any more and I feel great, thanks to God plus His wonderful medicine. Flax can assist the sick and the healthy in prevention.


23   J.W. -- Ulcers

I just started taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans a weeks or so. I haven't seen a big change except I don't have so much soreness in the top of my stomach. Report more later. 60 day report after others mentioned about some of the women had noticed less tenderness in their breast. I got to thinking my breast hasn't been so tender since I started taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, Thanks


22   T.V. -- Athelete's Foot

Since starting the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans the main change I have noticed is an improvement in the condition of my feet. I have had problems with athlete's foot for years, better or worse at different times, but consistently a problem. Since taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, I have noticed a decrease in itching, and improvement in the condition of the skin. The athlete's foot isn't completely gone, but I just started noticing this change in the last week, and am watching for more improvement. My son was sick with sinus problems, dizziness and fever and was sick in bed for most of the week. I only had a slight throat tickle and cough with slight head congestion which lasted about a week and a half. It wasn't bad enough to stop me from daily activities of living or work.


21   W.V. -- HIV

Since starting on the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans I have noticed a slight energy increase, but without the rush or jitteriness associated with many other medications. It hasn't been a sudden jolt, and didn't even start right after starting it, just a gradual increase in energy. I have had psoriasis on my elbows and one wrist for a long time. I wasn't really even thinking about a change with that but I have been pleasantly surprised in finding new skin forming and fewer flakes of skin. We have started into the season of colds and flu. I have been surrounded with people suffering with them, and have had only a couple of days of slight nasal stuffiness. My son was so sick with stuffy nose, cough, fever and overall body aches that he was on the couch and slept for most of a week. My niece had Strep and in the past I have always been very susceptible to it, and usually have been absolutely down with it for a week when I had it. In spite of being with both my son and my niece, I only had a couple of days of slight nasal stuffiness with a little sleepiness. I was able to continue with normal life and didn't need to interrupt for recuperation. I'm not sure of changes in the blood pressure or blood glucose yet, but hope to have conclusive results by next report.


20   P.C. -- Diabetes

First of all: Yes, I will continue taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. I would like to take it long term. One thing I have noticed is that my blood sugar has been regular. I tend to get hypoglycemic and have had very few problems since taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. A few weeks back, I was trying to come down with a cold, and it never happened. I am sure that it is from the Concentrate Flax Hull Lignans. My hunger has reduced significantly. When I eat fruits or vegetables, I get full very quick. I have always been gassy, but this product has made that a little bit worse. Once in a while, I feel a little bit nauseated still, but that has mostly subsided. I think the biggest this is that I feel healthy. I didn't see a big increase in energy but I do feel good. I also started drinking 100% pure aloe vera juice, and between the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans and the juice, I'm feeling healthy.


19   M.J. -- Arthritis

I have noticed a slight improvement in joint pain since I have been taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. I have had arthritis for years. Also, I seem to be sleeping better at night. I take a sleeping aid at bed time yet I still have some trouble sleeping


18   R.B. -- knee and back pain, occasionally takes morphine

Before starting the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, I would have a bad cough and would throw up stuff that I think was from my sinuses draining during the night. I used to get bad headaches from sinus pressure also. Now I don't cough as much in the morning and hardly ever seem to throw up. The sinus headaches are not as frequent now. I also seem to have a "better feeling" overall.


17   M.M. -- Healthy Subject

Regarding the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, I have experienced four times when I thought I was coming down with a cold or flu symptoms. Each time, they only lasted from late afternoon till I went to sleep. I woke up and they were gone. This usually happens only once or twice during an entire 'flu' season. I have noticed no other side effects good or bad.


16   G.E. -- Prostate and heart

We have had great success with this product. Being suspect of most new products of this nature, we never expected to have great results.

My husband, Hugh has an enlarged prostrate and a heart that beats very irregularly. Several Doctors over the years have felt he would need surgery on his prostrate. In the last two years it had become very bad, with Hugh getting up several times during the night. He had not been on the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans for more than two weeks when he noticed a significant improvement, almost a complete reversal. Now he does not get up more then once at night, if that to go to the bathroom. His heart has been beating steady and at, an even speed. He was a candidate for a pace-maker before he started with Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, now there is no mention of needing surgery.

Hugh's Doctor was absolutely astonished at his last progress report. He asked what we were doing differently. We could only say Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. Our Doctor said he knew that they were very good from different studies and so forth that he had read, but he had never seen such a dramatic improvement. While the prostrate is still enlarged, the side effects are lessened to a great extent. Hugh's heart is so much better that our Doctor can not believe it. Hugh had a stroke in August of 2001. His heart was so bad that we were worried that if he needed surgery he would not recover. Now, he is just bouncing along and mowing and putting up hay and working with his horses and cattle. I should mention that Hugh is 71 years young. We can only summarize that Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, is responsible for his improved health.

I am a Diabetic with uncontrolled sugar levels. While Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans has not been portrayed as being a cure for Diabetes, it certainly has helped me control mine better. Also, I have a problem with constipation. I never worry about that as long as I am taking Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. Another problem that I have is Cysts in my breasts, they can be very painful. After a short time using Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, I noticed that I wasn't having the pain I used to. In fact there isn't any pain. Now, I was never told that Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans would do so much for us, but it sure has.

We put a measuring spoon full in our orange juice in the morning. It is so handy having the measuring spoon provided in the jar. I like to mix mine with 7-up, Hugh likes to use hot chocolate. I believe the very best is in orange juice, also works on breakfast food, etc.



15   Lee -- Prostate

I have been using Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans for a couple of months. I have had real good luck with it. I didn't think it would work when I started, but it has helped me. I have a bad prostrate and I am constantly looking for a bathroom. Also, I just don't feel right most of the time.

A friend gave me a couple of jars of the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans she got. I forgot about it for a few days then I was getting company in about two weeks, so I decided I might as well try the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. Boy oh boy, did it work. I made a few more trips then usual for the first day or two. After that I made less and less trips. I am down to one or two a night and that is generally early evening and early morning. After getting up every hour, on the hour and getting little sleep and being a real grouch for most all day. I can't believe, how much better life seems. My wife says she may keep me if this stuff keeps working.

I generally feel better too. I seem to be happier and have a better outlook on life. My Doctor said I should have surgery, he hasn't said anything about it now. There is a lot of guys in our area that have bad prostrates and cancer.


14   A.C. -- HIV positive

I'm very pleasantly surprised and happy to say the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans are working! It must be working because I feel great and I seem to have a lot more energy these days. Just to give you a quick overview, I'm going to list some of the symptoms before taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. As you know I've been HIV positive for just over five months, four months when I started taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. My symptoms before the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans were as follows: low energy levels, to the point of sleeping 15 hours a day and still feeling very tired. My lymph nodes in the back of my head, arm pits and groin were swollen to the point of being very sore, and I was constantly getting low grade headaches that would linger on for a day or more. Since taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans, I'm happy to report the following changes. I now sleep on average of 8 hours each evening and wake up energized and actually wanting to get out of bed, no more headaches...not even one in the last 30 days!!! And my lymph nodes are no longer swollen and sore. I know it must be working because I've seen changes and improvements in my overall health and my mental state has improved and my concentration has improved ten fold over the last 30 days. I cannot wait to report back my labs which I get done on Dec. 20. I feel great and I'm looking forward to continued success with this product (Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans)! Thanks again and looking forward to reporting back my numbers in the next six weeks.

Follow up 60 day report essentially there is no change from my 30 day. I'm still feeling great and swelling in my lymph nodes has not returned. I'm sleeping normally and I feel like I could run a marathon. I'm not sure if you remember, but I went and had my labs done on Dec. 19-02 and I'm getting those results back from my doctor on Jan 14-03. I do believe though that the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans has helped me tremendously and I've gained 15 pounds over the last 6 weeks. I now weight 205 pounds at 6'1". This is a record for me and to top it off, it's not fat and people tell me now all the time, how good I look. If they only knew what I've been living with these past months. Update 1-14-03 OK, my v/l is 5629 and my cd4 is 460 with 28% t8 cells. My cd4 is back down to where it was when I was first infected by the needle stick, but my doctor does not seem to be worried about it. He mentioned that the cd4 tends to bounce around +/-100 and can fluctuate as much as +/-50 a day, depending on a lot of factors. On the positive side, I have an extremely low viral count of 5629 and that is excellent. I guess I should be happy about my very low v/l. That is the positive I take away from this and stay tuned for April's numbers. But you know what? I'm not going to live my life like that. It's not going to be a series of labs followed by results. I've been living a normal life and I will continue to do so. My labs will be a minor inconvenience in order to continue to stay healthy.



13   Lydia -- Cancer

I have been fighting cancer for nearly 20 years. I asked my doctor about Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. He said it was good to take and is used as a preventative for cancer. I already have cancer; but he told me I could take it as it wouldn't hurt me.

I was unable to take my regular chemo for the last three months, but did start taking the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. I noticed one of the lumps on my chest was getting smaller and is now gone. My Doctor told me it was the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans that was causing the changes in the lump. I will continue taking Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans.


12   A.H. -- HIV

(30 Day Report) First Thirty Days Using 'Flax Lignans'

Week 1: By the end of the week, I was experiencing I believe more energy as I was raking and burning ?Lots? of leaves and doing other yard work. I was a bit sore the next day, 'just like normal'.

Week 2: Bad week to judge. The weather was so lousy, gray, rainy blah. Could not help but feel blah, did notice the bowel movements were very good.

Week 3: Feeling pretty good overall. Seem to be using less of my Ativan for panic/anxiety.

Week 4: Skipped a day or two. Biggest thing I noticed is that bowel movements are more compact and difficult to pass. (Hope the flax is not acting like to much of a laxative), would hate to become dependent on laxatives , since I really throughout my life I have really never had a constant ?problem? with bowel movements. We will see.

Overall, the taste and feeling of extra energy and a good cleansing of my inners seems to be a benefit I enjoy.

-------------------------------------

(60 Day): T cell 470 (highest to date) VL undetectable (in November before the flax I had gone on a drug holiday for a month, the third so far over four years). November labs -- T cell 220 and VL 135000. So you tell me. I started back on the same meds and added the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. Told my doctor -- he wants to know more. I as yet, can't say that the flax did the trick, but the coincidence factor is more than a factor. So, in closing, I continue to have my roughage (almost every day)--have days where I have no desire to do anything and days where I do way plenty. Cholesterol is great. All other significant lab scores are within normal range. So, in conclusion, I think I will keep it up for a while and will not hesitate to share my personal experience. Going to Hilton Head in February.



11   Melinda -- Breast cancer patient

Dear Dr. Daves,

This letter is to thank you for your contribution to my successful recovery to this date from breast cancer using flax lignans as part of my home therapy program.

I was diagnosed at the University of Va Hospital with infiltrating ductal carcinoma in my right breast in August of 2002. I had a lumpectomy in November for a 2 and ½ cm tumor. All margins were clear. I declined further treatment. In February I had a recurrence in the same breast in a different location but possibly in the same milk duct. I had the 7 mm tumor removed by a lumpectomy in March, 2003 and I also had the sentinel nodes removed. Two out of three nodes were infected upon closer inspection after surgery. I refused further treatment options which included removal of the rest of the nodes in that region, chemotherapy and radiation. A CT scan in early April revealed a possible tumor in the lining of the lung that was too small to biopsy.

In the end of April, 2003, I began eating 1 capful of flax lignans daily. This was in addition to the following supplements: 1/3 c of the Cherokee cancer cure- tea made from indigenous plants on the reservation, 1 t of graviola- a plant from the Amazon forest thought to work like chemotherapy, 90 days of Pawpaw, from the Pawpaw tree thought to work like chemotherapy, RM 10 (Garden of Life) a mixture of mushrooms for increasing the immune system; 8-10,000 units of Vitamin C; digestive enzymes; Body Balance and Osteoprocare by Life Force International- a combination of liquid vitamins and minerals in an aloe vera base and 1 t Miracle II triple strength neutralizer.

In June and Oct 2003 I had CT scans. Both of them showed no significant change in the lining of the lung. In Oct, 2003 I had a mammogram with two significant spots one on each breast and underwent biopsies. The left breast was found to be calcification with no cancer and the right biopsy of a 7mm mass in the bottom of the first lumpectomy site was found to be inflammatory tissue with no indication of cancer.

I attribute the successful control of the cancer to flax lignans and the supplements I was taking, plus the following: much prayer both personally and from hundreds of friends; laying on of hands, massage, Reiki, acupuncture as well as yoga, 2-3 x a week. Also colonics once a week with colemas and coffee enemas several times a week at home. I limited my intake of sugar. Most of my food came from raw organic vegetables and raw organic vegetable juices. My intention was to detox my body and build up my immune system. I believe the flax lignans were an intricate part of my successful recovery thus far.

Sincerely, Melinda

07-10-2003 -- I got biopsy of my tonsil problem - completely normal. For some reason, I just have one tonsil that is larger than the other, but the tissue is fine. It does not appear to be inflamed as if viral related. So, I am one happy man. I FEEL GREAAAAAAAT!!!!

07-22-2003 -- Well ... I am a little better than before. Got a little more energy than before and remain active more or less. My stomach seems to be in better shape, though I have started garlic along with breakfast and that has made things in my stomach better. Also, the bowel movement is better than before. Cold sweats are reduced. I missed one dose of flax on the 8th.

08-07-2003 -- My monthly feedback. Doses missed = 2; Cannister consumed = 1. Mode of taking flax = Initially after lunch, with water, then mixing with rice or curry and taking it along with meal. I found that this method of mixing along with meal is more effective. Activity report = I feel much better overall. Increased physical energy, less fatigue. Blood report = due, shall have it in 2-3 days time. (Hbg, WBC, RBC count).

08-11-2003 -- I just gave a blood sample for a blood test of Hbg, RBS, etc - just a very routine test. About my health, I do feel better, my appetite is far more than what it used to be. I think I sleep better than before. I do find a spot on my hand (Kaposi's Sarcoma) clearing, with the upper layer coming off, and the size is definitely reduced. It is on the nail side of the index finger between the knuckle and the finger bending joint. However, I do find another one coming up on the middle finger, at the first joint behind the nail. It is not a mark or a rash or a lesion but a node like KS. I had a very severe constipation and that seems to have reduced now. I do go to clear off once a day at least, though I do not evacuate completely. But it certainly is much better than before. Yesterday I had a mild fever, and I loved it!!! Mainly because my normal body temperature is 2 degrees below normal. Fever is a good sign as it signifies that the immune system is fighting back. I hope I am right. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees F, mine is usually 95-96 deg F. This happened last year in July when I felt the virus is back on the attack. It never went normal again after that. I think the cold sweats are due to this fact also.

10-22-2003 -- Well about the effect of the flax. I am feeling a little better than I was feeling during the last report. The mark on my index finger is not gone, but not increased also It reduced during the last report and persists to that size. The KS on the thumb persists and has not gone. It keeps reducing and coming back, hence more or less, it is as it was before. Cold sweats are there still, but reduces as in the last report, but not vanished. The KS that I felt was coming up on the middle finger has vanished and there is not sign of it.

08-30-2003 -- I began taking the 'Flax Hull Lignan Concentrate' that my health care practitioner, Mary Dohout, had sent to me. Her instructions were to take: 1 scoop twice a day. I finished the first cannister on 09-12-2003.

'Response Report' (2 Weeks):

Minutes after taking the first scoop My body began to 'heat up' and within 30 minutes, I developed a severe headache. For the ongoing 2 weeks I felt like I had the flu with the symptoms of aches and pains, body heating up (temp at 36.5) and headaches and I felt more tired than I usually do.

'Response Report' (30 days):

This is a much more 'potent' product and even on 1 scoop, I really began to feel like I had the flu. I felt so hot (temp remained at 36.5C), I ached all over and I developed "cold sores" inside my mouth (under tongue and down the throat). Also, my very swollen parotid glands have become "softer" and appear to have decreased in size and my energy level is better!

10-21-2003 -- I saw my 'good' doctor and told him about the 'study'. He remarked that my glands look less swollen. (way to go!).


7   Karen R. -- HIV / Full Blown AIDS / Hospice patient

Let me start with saying I'm HIV+ and was told I am full blown as of June 2003. My viral load is so high, it's off the charts! (338,000). My doctors told me I was dying.

09-21-2003 -- I received and started taking flax Sept. 21st, 2003.

09-27-2003 -- Increase in appetite first week. Everything else is the same. No energy. Have to nap through the day. Diarrhea is much, much worse.

10-04-2003 -- Diarrhea so severe-quit taking the flax.

10-11-2003 -- Resumed taking flax. NO diarrhea!? Energy level is MUCH better.

10-15-2003 -- Cooked dinner for 10 people. Prepared BIG pot of chili, toasted garlic bread, carrot sticks, friend made salad. Had a wonderful time eating, laughing, and enjoying friendship.

10-17-2003 -- Had no strength before. Muscle tissue breaking down. Was actually able to lift again. UNBELIEVABLE! Haven't done that in almost two years!

11-09-2003 -- Went to see my doctors for blood work and the doctors told me the other day that my viral load was NONDETECTABLE! I have only been using the flax lignans since September 21, 2003. I have more energy than I can remember and I am feeling great!!!

12-17-2003 -- Have been fighting off the flu all week, so I am staying away from crowds. So far, I think I have managed to keep from getting the flu, but I'm not taking any chances. I did have a period of nausea and vomiting, so I'm just taking it easy. I don't have any blood work at this point to share.

(03/12/04) Attached is a recent photo of the lady who got the Flax. This is the one who was at the edge of her life - who was just folded in bed and could not talk at the time she began to use the Flax. Today she is able to walk, cook her meal, do a little bit of washing and can do the basic things for herself. She has even managed to write a short testmony herself and so I thought it wize to send it along. She had lost her memory but now is even able to write, she was feeble - the photo can now tell what she is. My friend-brother; God is at work!!

(Note: It is made perfectly clear to all recipients that flax hull lignans are not medicine, but only food. However, many still call it medicine because they relate medicine and healing together)

The Local Government employee whom I mentioned of having Cancer and undergoing chemotherapy is also well and recommends the Flax. He just got some scoops for one week and says in that week he had the greatest appetite and even the swellings began to lessen. He was free from pain and is busy calling me every day to ask if the consignment has been shipped. I explained to him about the tax and U.S. fund raising efforts, and he promised to help with some papers to facilitate the Tax exemption process.

02/19/04 - I have some possetive testimonies that I have already recieved about two critical people who were almost dying and who are taking Flax seed. They are responding very, very well. This has really opened a big demand for this food product. We are now facing a lot of pressure from the poeple and may I also kindly pass it to you Sir. There is need to work out another supply of flax hull lignans into our area if possible so that we could widen our tesimony base and then to lobby the Government for help in the supply of this helpful commodity.


4   Franz -- AAAF South African National Director

02/20/04 - The Donations of Flax Hall Lignans that you brought to South Africa are starting to produce great results. Pastor Leonard from Piet Retief was at our local meeting and he reported on three miracles that happened as a direct results from the use of the flax hull lignans.

1. The little Girl age six that has full blown HIV/AIDS. Her VL count was into the 300,000 range. You yourself were there and heard the tragic story about this dying little orphan girl. You saw the little shadow of a human being she had been reduced to. Well, under the supervision of the local pastor and the medical doctor, this girl has picked up two pounds of weight in less than three weeks!

2. One lady with a cancer growth went for the operation that was scheduled to remove the growth, but the improvement was so dramatic that the doctor decided not to operate.

3. A man with severe diabetes is starting to reduce his medicines.

These are all testimonies of the people in the Piet Retief area of S. Africa.

I personally sent the lignans to a man in Cape Town who had full blown AIDS. He was in church and told me that the product has given him a new chance in life, his strength is back and he can work again.


3   Bob from India -- HIV Positive

02/19/04 - Many thanks once again !! I received the 3 containers. I am continuing the flax every day. Well about my feeling, i am feeling better and I find that my are lesions drying up and also reduced in size, the same with the nodes I have on my thumb and one on the scalp. The scalp one has been there for about 5 years now !!! It would keep reducing and coming back ... lets see if it comes bak or disappears now with the flax.

My constipation is better than before. there are days in between that my appetite goes in for a leap and I eat loads of food.... Have had a mild fever like feeling in the last few days. Over all I feel better than before. I personally feel that my VL was very high and is coming down
slowly. I am overdue for the blood count report, which I shall try n get done ASAP and send across. have a nice day.


2   Mamoona from South Africa -- Cancer

02/01/04 - Dear Dr. Daves, My name is Mamoona XXX. I am 52 years old and I was diagnosed with bone cancer in September of 2002. Thank you for the supply of the flax lignans which I have been taking for about three weeks. I found that it did help me a little. I have full energy and I could walk a little without crutches. It also eased my pain a bit. I am sure if I continue to take it, it will heal my pain and suffering.

PS. I talked with Mamoona on the phone one week later and she had stopped all pain medication and was walking everywhere without crutches. Her energy levels were back to normal and she is very excited! It's interesting what happens when you give the product around 4 - 6 weeks to build your immune system! Thanks to God for this wonderful product!

03/01/04 - A Government official who has cancer called and I went to see him this afternoon to pray with him and check on his progress. I had just given him a week's dosage of flax hull lignans from a sample pack and I could not believe it when I saw him working in his office after months of laying home under chemotherapy. On Sunday we fellowshipped with one of the AIDS patients that got the full monthly dose and I got a report that the lady is able to get up and call for her food. She now can walk a little bit and is about 75% better than she was on the day Flax came into her life.

Note From AAAF: The people of Zimbabwe are on rationed product because we only had enough resource to deliver a small amount into their nation. They are desperate to live and to get anything they can. Therefore, a week's dosage is better than nothing.
