"I
hardly know where to start with this letter, but I thought
you would like to know about the success that my wife and
I are having with your Golden
Flax Seeds & Lignans.
For years I've been taking coarse orange flavored
Metamucil just to stay regular. Then all of the sudden they
stopped making it, (I can't find it in any of our stores).
None of the other products that I have tried had ever come
close to the results that I was used to having.
On February 24, 2007, we went to the St. Louis
home show and happened on a booth offering Premium
Gold Flax Seeds. Listening to all the info and benefits,
my wife Teresa says to me that she thought it would be a good
replacement for the other fiber I was taking. I thought why
not I've tried everything else, so why not this stuff? We
bought the product, it came as a kit which was a good thing
because it helped us to use it correctly .
We started out using a half a scoop of each
product as the instructions suggested, and increasing it as
our bodies adapted. We've found that it tastes great in pourable
peach yogurt, turning it into a smoothie. We use a electric
whisk which isn't necessary but makes it really handy! Within
about 5 days I had increased the seeds to about 1/4 cup and
one scoop of Lignans a day. I'm having very good "success"
if you get my drift. This alone was enough to make me keep
using it. So now I want to back up a minute and tell you a
little more about my situation .
In April 9, 2006, I had a heart attack at the
age of 46. After which I started cardiac rehab, and graduated
on Aug. 20, 2006, In cardiac rehab, I worked out for 1.5 hours
every other day, and changed my diet somewhat. I have always
ate healthy, lots of vegetables and fruit. And I don't smoke,
and if I drink it is just an occasional beer or wine with
meal, but not often at all.
With all this hard work and change of diet,
and gobs of medication, I lowered my total cholesterol from
178 to 144. (Yes, 178 at the time of the heart attack! I have
inherited my family's cholesterol.) Now lets look at the numbers
because some were still off. Starting numbers are from graduation
of Cardiac Rehab.
HDL (good cholesterol ) was 38, it should
be over 40.
Triglycerides were152, it should be under150.
LDL (bad cholesterol) was 78, that was good,
my ratio was 3.78, they want it under 4.1.
Well, after some time, things got back to normal
for me. Working 60-80 hours a week, little or no workout,
and fast food way too often. Although I do eat good twice
a day, and take my meds and vitamins every day, my numbers
jumped. I know this because I had my blood tested at work
on March 6, 2007, here are those results.
Total cholesterol was at 166, up 22 points.
HDLwas 39, up one point, good!
Triglycerides jumped to 220, not good at all!!!
LDL went up to 82, OK I guess.
But the ratio went up to 4.2, that's over the limit.
Now, remember at the top of the letter when
I started taking the Premium Gold Flax? It was about a week
prior to the cholesterol test taken at work. My cardiologist
scheduled a blood test for the 23rd of the same month. I don't
think the timing could have been better.
So, now it's been almost a month after I started
taking the Premium
Gold Flax Seed & Lignans. Now remember that after
three months cardiac rehab, meds, & diet change, the numbers
were 144, 38, 152, 78, 3.78. Then 7 months later, with meds,
little or no work-out, and fast food, 166, 39, 220, 82, 4.2.
Then 3 weeks after that (and a month of P.G.F.S)
the numbers dropped big time! 132, 50, 101, 62, 2.6!!!!! And
I didn't changed my diet. In all fairness, I did start walking
on the tread mill 30 mins.a day, 3-5 times A week. But it
is nowhere near what I was doing in cardiac rehab (1½
hours) .
My wife Teresa, has also had some great things
happen since taking
Premium Gold Flax Seed & Lignans. She has always had
problems with allergies; in fact I can hardly remember a day
that she hasn't taken meds for them, or the headaches that
goes with it. After about three weeks she came to realize
that she no longer needed to use her allergy medication at
all! Although she still has a bit of allergies, they have
been so manageable she hasn't had to use any medication and
has not had any headaches. This is incredible because you
can see the thick yellow layer of pollen all over the cars!
We also have both noticed that the dark circles under her
eyes have started to fade away. Cool!
In general, we both feel healthier, energized,
have lost weight and inches. Needless to say, we have decided
to make Premium
Gold Flax Products a part of our daily routine for the
rest of our lives. We both feel that this is a great way to
live a healthy life!" Mitch & Teresa Dugo, Saint
