Gail Graham and Humphrey the Shetland pony
Condition
I have a Shetland pony, Humphrey, who is Insulin Resistant. This is rather like being a diabetic in human terms and cannot be 'cured'; only controlled by diet. Humphrey is also very laminitic prone and I have to constantly monitor his grass intake to prevent him having a laminitic or founder attack.

Condition
I have suffered from severe IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) since I was 16 (I am now of an age that we don't express our age in years, more in life experiences!). I would writhe on the floor, clutching at my abdomen and crying out in pain.

Within one month of using flax seed oil, I was no longer suffering from the severe bloating and cramping which has plagued me my entire life.

Condition
I suffered terribly when going through menopause. I used to have low energy levels and needed an afternoon nap. I tried many different products over a period of 2 years, including wild yams. Some of these worked for a short period and then stopped.

I noticed a change almost immediately after taking flax seed oil

Condition
I learned about flax seed oil from my husband, David, after meeting him at his music festival where I was a guest performer 11 years ago. It's probably an understatement to say he was keen for me to start taking it! I followed a fairly healthy diet and was relatively healthy by most people's standards but was starting to feel my age and found a few complaints were popping up.

A couple of weeks after first feeding Humphrey flax seed oil he had a new lease of life.
