Cold & Flu

Cold and flu viruses are known to spread rapidly from person to person. While most cold and flu cases aren’t life-threatening, they have been known to put people out of commission for days at a time. More extreme cases can result in death, especially if the affected person has an underlying health condition that compromises their immune system. In those cases, or when experiencing severe cold and flu symptoms, it’s always a good idea to seek treatment from a healthcare professional. However, there are some alternatives that will aid in the prevention and alleviation of cold and flu symptoms.

An article posted by The Healthy praises the use of flaxseed and flax lignans to improve general health, prevent certain cancers, and as an immune system booster. Eliminating inflammation from the body is also beneficial for a healthy immune system. Flax is rich in omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a known anti-inflammatory. Flaxseed and lignans also contain antioxidants that not only benefit overall health and but can help the body fight off illnesses. In fact, research has found flax lignans to contain a higher level of antioxidants than most fruits and vegetables. Lignans are especially beneficial to the immune system because they contain phytoestrogen, which plays a vital role in the body’s ability to fend off cold and flu viruses.

Whether or not you have a serious medical condition that weakens your immune system, limiting the effects of cold and flu viruses is essential. Incorporating flax hull lignan oil, capsules, or powder into your diet can strengthen your immune system. With a stronger immune system overall, your body is less susceptible to cold and flu viruses. If cold or flu symptoms do occur, they will be less severe thanks to the phytoestrogen and antioxidants found in flax hull lignans. In addition to fighting off viruses, lignans have been suggested to be effective at relieving arthritis symptoms, balancing hormones, and improving cholesterol.

Before starting the 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.

I have noticed a slight improvement in joint pain since I have been taking the 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

Yes, I am delighted to be able to report the changes we have experienced by using the Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans. My husband and I are in our fifties, and are starting to show a little wear and tear from fifty years of living, so this is the time when we are looking everywhere for natural ways to prevent any serious problems before they strike. (We don’t resort to Western medicine because we feel it is often more life-threatening than the diseases)...
