I have been taking a tablespoon of Melrose Flaxseed Oil every morning now for over 25 years.
I had no idea back then there was even a health product made from flaxseed oil?
Attending a National Indigenous meeting in New Zealand on Genetic Engineering and its potential impacts on our native flora and fauna I met a Maori Spiritual Healer. He looked at me and suggested I try two things that he said would be good for me! Sketching image's on a pad and taking flaxseed oil?
I had never heard of flaxseed oil and upon returning home I couldn't stop thinking about what the Healer said to me.
So I researched Flaxseed and found Melrose Flaxseed Oil. I read the benefits and thought it can only be good for me and was reasonably priced so started drinking it!
After all these years of taking the flaxseed oil I still have to have a spoon of yoghurt to kill the nutty taste haha!
As a kid I had rheumatic fever and was told by my doctors later in life I will experience heart valve problems as a consequence of my illness.
And sure enough March 2020 my Mitral and Aorta vales failed requiring urgent surgery to implant mechanical replacements. Very Scary stuff but I'm still alive!
I have never been a healthy eater or as I got older exercised regularly and I drank alcohol and smoked 20 pack of cigarettes a day for 45 years.
In preparation for my surgery I had to have several teeth pulled from gum disease and due to my lifestyle and surgeons scoped my heart arteries with a tiny camera to count the plaque build up and install what they thought I would require at least 3-4 stents call a bypass.
To the surgeons amazement my arteries were in near perfect condition 100% with 1 at about 75% and not requiring a stent. They sough reconfirmation from me that id smoked and drank alcohol all my life and they couldn't believe the state of my arteries?
They suggested I was blessed with good genetics but I told them I truely believe it was the flaxseed oil the Maori Health and Spiritual Healer told me to take 25 years ago! He saw into my heart and prescribed flaxseed oil to me as something that will be good for me and the way he said it to me I knew came from a deep place!
He never knew me personally and I never knew him or his background yet on first impressions of me he starts telling me things that would be good for me?
I took the flaxseed oil advice seriously once I read its benefits and am still working on the sketching part haha!
This has been a huge journey for me and I learnt alot about the heart which prior to getting heart failure I thought nothing about!
What I have realised is the majority of the population do not understand,
1. Heart failure can be fixed through mechanical valve replacements.
2 Heart Attacks and Strokes can be prevented through an Angiogram which is a diagnostic procedure like X-ray, CTscans or MIRs to examine blood vessels to show how blood flows through your heart!
Heart attacks and strokes are primarily caused by block arteries and has nothing to do with how healthy think you are?
If you are lucky you can pull through a heart attack or stroke sadly many don't!!!
Today I recommend to anyone I meet over 40 years of age who wants to listen to me to go get an Angiogram. Tragically 99% of people can't even tell you what an Angiogram is!!!
And sadly its not Government funded or subsidised and will cost you around $500 but it will be the best thing you will spend your money on!!!
Failing the cost of an Angiogram start drinking Melrose Flaxseed Oil everyday!!! I've been drinking it for over 25 years and truely believe it's saved my life!
During my rehabilitation with physiotherapy at the hospital there was 8 of us, I was the only one for heart failure the rest (7) for heart attacks and Stroke after sharing my journey with them all 7 have made Flaxseed Oil part of there daily welbeing!!1
