Interesting Thoughts

Dear Mike,

We are really not far from the same page. I think I can explain the last concern. When Bruce Barlean went to Germany and learned from Dr. Budwig and came back, he set up his situation exactly as Dr. Budwig recommended. This was Dr. Budwig's approval. Other mills at that time were not even in the picture. As the use of this material grew, other mills became interested and began the manufacture also. I doubt that they ever checked with Dr. Budwig as far as approval or disapproval is concerned. In 1993, the Secretary of the Flaxseed growers Association [or something like that] told my cousin that there were 7000 barrels of Flax Oil sold. In 1994 there were 20,000. This information came in 1995. I had already been using it 4 years at that time. The AMA at that time tried to get it shut off, but by that time it was too late. The word was getting around. Arrowhead, Spectrum and other mills began to produce the oil. Bruce Barlean called me one day a little later and talked about a half hour and told me about their background. He mentioned a couple of little things that he thought made theirs just a little better, but emphasized that all oils from other manufacturers were very good as long as they were fresh and cold pressed. This industry is still new. The main advantage of Barlean's is that they will ship wholesale to anyone with a life threatening disease. I get my oil for $16.50 a quart delivered at my door by Air express. As far as I know no other one will do that. Omegaflo will ship at the price they sell to Gersons to anyone on this list. We will link any mill that asks to our website soon to be online. www.beckwithfamily.com In my case, the majority of men who were diagnosed with what I had almost eleven years ago are now gone. I am cured as far as the American Cancer Society's stastistics are concerned, but that is kind of a farce. Cliff -----Original Message-----

You know how I feel regarding the things Dr. Budwig and other like yourself are finding. It just seems weird to me that Barleans doesnt even have her book listed there. And I certainly never saw any kind of commercial endorsements of products in any of the scientific material I read. What about Spectrum? they make a good oil.....why where they not mentioned. In Janes book we mention individuals who make products but we listed all the individuals making products equally not just one, exclussively. I wonder how many people would believe my wifes book, if at the end she said something like Dietitian Jane recomends Natural Ovens for flax products along with an 800 order line and failed to mention the other 14 places they could get quality flax products. Dr. Budwig should not have engaged in that kind of practic - it cheapens her message. If I where reading her work for the first time and didnt have benefit to other information we discussed, there is no way I could take her seriously. I just felt compelled to mention them, thats all.
