I would just like to add that you do not have to worry about how fresh, cold presesed flax oil has been processed..........there is no processing and it can be bought from any good health shop. It will be stored in a black bottle to protect it from light and air, and kept in a refrigerator in the health store. Flax oil capsules are no good, and neither is oil that has been treated to maintain it's shelve life.If you are not familiar with Dr Budwigs method that could be where you are going wrong.She uses no synthetic vitamins.
