I made this smoothie today with a banana, some blueberries, a date, an egg, 1 TBS of whole flaxseed, and some water.

As soon as flaxseeds are ground and the fatty acids are exposed to oxygen, they begin to oxidize and go rancid.
By buying flaxseed whole, you're getting a fresher product and you can grind them or blend them yourself.

Lurch

I have read that the best way to consume flax seeds is to buy it as meal and not seed form. The rational was that the beneficial oils are not exposed and absorbed while in seed form and they just pass through the body. In meal form you get the full benefit. I don't eat whole flax seeds.

The blade on my Ninja BL454 was acting up. I was feeling heat on the blade axle after making a smoothie for quite a while, then the other day it almost wouldn't turn at all. It sounded funny and would not turn at a consistent high speed. I could hardly turn it by hand. I bought a replacement blade o...

So if you had Castrol or Quaker State 0w-20...it would be just like water too when you pull the dipstick when cool. I personally don't find these oils to be as watery as PP 0w20. It's easier to check the oil with Castrol or QS, I've found. Not a big deal anyway. I added just a dab under 4 qts. to i...

Penzoil 0w-20 will be the same "viscosity" as any other brand 0w-20. When reading oil weights, the first number is the viscosity when it's cold (the W came out to stand for winter). The second number is the viscosity of the oil when up to engine temp. So if you had Castrol or Quaker State...

Oil filters...now there's where I have a huge preference. In the old days, Fram was the brand. Cheap overseas junk now...hang out at any engine wrenching forums and you'll see people talk about how cheaply made they are now and how they can fail. I'm a huge brand of WIX for quality oil filters, you...

I changed my oil 2 days ago. The old oil seemed like it could have gone another 6 to 12 months. So I ran this 11 months, and just under 2,200 miles. The trip B meter says I drove the car for 105.5 hours (I think that's what it means) during the time this oil was in my engine. EV : 25% - 556 miles. T...

Lurch, if you've found something that works for you then there's no way that I can say in good faith that it's ineffectual. But it does appear you're taking our remarks way too personally. My point is more along the lines that this is the first time I'm ever hearing about MCT and I'm hearing about ...

There are certain foods that....buying organic is well worth it, makes a difference. And there are certain foods where ...."organic" doesn't make much of an actual difference. Milk...is one where it does make a difference. Dairy cows for conventional milk are injected with growth hormones...

I like milk. We don't have it in the house very often. We'll buy a half gallon of lowfat about every 3-5 weeks. I usually finish it off in less than a week. I sort of binge on it, I'll be making cereal, having it with a PB sandwich etc. It only lasts several days. Then we don't have it again for an...

Many people have bad bacteria in their GI tract that they're oblivious to, from taking antibiotics, from eating processed foods, sugar, HFCS, and other things. When they take something powerful like MCT oil, all hell breaks loose, and they aren't ready for the aftermath. So it's good to have your GI...

I signed in to Yahoo! today for the first time in years.

I guess I may drink organic whole milk from now on. I used to drink 1% milk but the trouble with that is, it has synthetic Vitamin A added, and Vitamin A toxicity affects quite a few people, including me. That can cause dry skin, eczema, etc. They say organic milk comes from cows that are fed more t...

For years I've known about coconut oil reversing or improving Alzheimer's, and MCT oil is derived from coconut oil, which makes it even more powerful. I'm now on a facebook forum called The Copper Revolution, where they have alternative views on copper nutrition. They claim copper isn't toxic at all...

If you are benefitting from it, go for it. I have been mocked regarding the supplements I take for my immune system. I used to get bronchitis every year. I have done my research. I have not been sick in over 3 years as a result of taking my supplements. That is my proof. That's wonderful. Glad to h...

Hey Lurch, all good, please don't get offended by people being skeptical. I don't know much about MCT oil either, other than that it's in coconut oil, so what, interesting read. Sounds good, thank you. These oils are powerful, and are anti viral and can help people with some nasty pathogens like Co...

I've been known to reverse some serious health issues with supplements, but hey, if you think you know more than me about natural health, I'm posting in the wrong place.

Lurch

This is the first I'm hearing about this stuff. Way too many things that it says it helps with to be believable. You don't have to believe anything but I'll tell you, there are MANY health care people that say these same things about MCT oil, and they aren't marketing MCT oil either. So take it for...

I wish you all the best, but this stuff? https://legionathletics.com/mct-oil I'm seeing articles both good and bad about it, more bad. Nonsense. Where are you looking for information?

This stuff is amazing. I can now tolerate 1/2 tsp 2x a day with food. I plan to work up to 1 to 2 TBS per day, in food. I'm 72 now, and it seems to do me a lot of good. Start slow on it, like 1/2 tsp a day in food, and work up slowly over 1-2 weeks. Otherwise it can cause loose bowels -------------...

Newer/smaller engines tend to run much thinner oils, they're fine even if they seem watery. As to the frequency, with new full synthetic oils you can go over a year easily imho if you don't make the miles. What I've also done on my cars is take a syringe and pull out the brake fluid from the master...

Lurch

Trust me, it's way too easy to overthink motor oil, changing frequency and which one is the best. If you're only driving 3-4k per year I think you're doing the right thing by changing your oil once a year. Pick a quality full synthetic oil in the rating that your engine calls for and use a quality ...

I do best with low heat, that would be 180*F on the Duxtop induction cooktop.
I bought an 8" Duxtop SS fry pan that's quite nice, but all my SS pans get the same result if I start with some butter and use low heat.
I can fry eggs flawlessly this way.

I decided to finally run my motor oil 12 months, after changing my own oil 2x a year for quite a few years, since I now run full synthetic which my Prius calls for, so I no longer need to change my oil 2x a year and I only drive 3-4k miles per year. I now run Pennzoil Platinum FS 0w20, and it seems ...

Thank you.

The supplement I take is actually called Benfotiamine, it's a fat soluble form of Vitamin B1.
I learned of it from the Nerve Doctors on youtube.
It nourishes and comforts the nerves, which can be a huge help to people dealing with neuropathy.

I'm now healed for the most part, from taking thiamin, vitamin B1. My hip and right leg are about 90-95% back to normal. It all got better just hours after taking Thiamin / Vitamin B1. B1 deficiency can appear as many different symptoms, and doctors will make incorrect diagnosis' over and over again...

I eat a lot of beans for soluble fiber. Eggs most every day.
Grass fed beef, wild salmon, and chicken.
Lots of vegetables, but not many potatoes.
Little to no grains. No more fruit.
A few nuts sometimes. No dairy.

I saw the new PT Thursday, that made the adjustments and thought it might turn me around. Guess what? He was right! Friday afternoon my mood seemed to improve, and when I got up Saturday, I could tell right off that I was finally a little bit better, and I didn't need to take pain meds.. So I rode m...

The PT isn't convinced I have spinal stenosis but if I do, I think he can help me so I won't need surgery and won't have to take pain meds. I sure hope so. I've been depressed about this lately. It's still disturbing that I have not yet got on some exercises to help turn this around. But that's the ...

Lurch

Thank you. Actually, I think it was the med that worked quickly to make me feel better, not the supplements. I think the supps might take longer, plus some diet changes I recently made may help. I quit drinking milk 3 weeks ago. 2 days ago I quit eating fruit. Did lots of research, and fruit feeds i...

Yeah, good quality natural bone broth is great for you. Beef, chicken, ox, whatever. Heck I've mixed bones and made a bone broth. Doing home made bone broth is at least a full day process.

I got on prednisone which really helps, but 200 mg of ibuprofen seemed to help too.

I bought one of those donut cushions.
I think it will feel much better to sit on one of these at the PC, and maybe also in the car.
About $30 on amazon.
I'm not a real big guy (about 160 pounds) so I think it will fit my small butt fairly well, I hope.

BEST time to do the inversion table is immediately before bed. Make it the very last thing you do before bed, and locate it nearby the bed so you have minimal steps to take from it...to bed. Go do the bathroom routine, brush your teeth...go hang on the inversion table..and then in go directly to be...

BEST thing that helped me..my wife got me an inversion table. Under 300 bucks...so it paid for itself within a month or two. Stopped going to the PTs and chiro.
