Testimony #1 - Karen R (USA) - 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.

9-21 I received and started taking flax Sept. 21st, 2003.
9-27 Increase in appetite first week. Everything else is the same. No energy. Have to nap through the day. Diarrhea is much, much worse.
10-4 Diarrhea so severe-quit taking the flax.
10-11 Resumed taking flax. NO diarrhea!? Energy level is MUCH better.
10-15 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 Had no strength before. Muscle tissue breaking down. Was actually able to lift again.
UNBELIEVABLE! Haven't done that in almost two years!

Testimony #2 - Melissa E (USA) - breast cancer
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.

Testimony #3 - Louis (USA) - HIV+

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 canister on 09-12-03.

"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.

*It should be noted that the first canister I used was not the same as the 3 canisters that Marge W. sent to me. It had a different consistency and was labeled as "Flax Hull Lignans" and "Highly concentrated SDG 30-60 mg/gram. There was no company name or address.

09-13-03
I began to use the "Natural Lignan Extract" that Marge sent to me (produced by NDI). I reduced the amount of supplement to: 1 scoop once a day (per instructions).

"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 36.5), 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!

10-21-03
I saw my "good" doctor and told him about the "study". He remarked that my glands look less swollen. (way to go).

Testimony #4 - Bob (USA) - HIV+

Great to hear from you. 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.

8-7-03
My monthly feedback.
Doses missed=2
Canister 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).

8-11-03
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.

10-22-03
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.

Testimony #5 - Russ (USA) - HIV+
I got biopsy of my tonsil-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!!!!
