Flax, I used a lot for the horses also.  But I used to boil them to break 
open the outer shell and make a "gooey" substance that I mixed in with their 
feed.  I love flax seeds, and use them in my bread.  If whole, I crunch with 
my teeth.  But I haven't tried doing what I did for the horses,,, which is 
probably something to try the next batch of bread...

I eat a lot of flaxseeds, too, but I don't grind them...should I?  Would
I not lose some of the oil in the mortar?

If there are 200 people on the list, and each person ran their own
little experiment, what a resource we could be for each other.  It would
have to be well-planned, though.

Yes.  Actually, since thinking more about it yesterday, I might even
continue a 500mg dose of turmeric a day.  I've been off the high dose
for about a week and I can tell a difference in my sinuses, so I may add
it back and see what happens.  DH is going to try it for his elbow.  He
is getting OA in his elbow and hopes that will help.
One thing I did not mention before was that the doc thought that the
NSAID(Voltaren) might be the liver culprit instead of the Enbrel.  She
suggested that I try to cut back on that.  If the turmeric is what has
lowered my CRP and ESR, and I continue to take it long term, then that
would reduce or eliminate the need for the NSAID at a minimum.
It is a bit strange that this is not working out as I thought, or as
completely and quickly as I thought, but I think it is all good change.
   At least I feel more in control of what is going on with my body, and
that is good.
Now, if I could lay off the guacamole, I might could lose weight..lol

That could be the foundation of the true problem. Introduced species may
thrive, but often succumb to something in the end. A friend of mine here
had a nursery 20 years ago and imported Afghan pines, which all did well
in our similar climate...that is until recently. Almost every yard
around here has one or two dead ones, all put in 20 years ago. Nobody
knows what did them all in. Our area had native cherry trees once but
they all succumbed to the German immigrant furniture makers at the turn
of the century.
