Vlog 59 - Flax Seed Gel (Not to be used by people with thyroid disfunctions.)

Successfully created it...but ran into some "issues" I didn't anticipate. No matter...I overcame them. :) The best "strainer" (for me) to strain the flax seed was a flour cloth.

WARNING:
Flax seed does have the potential to be toxic. It contains substances called "cyanogens" which can be converted to cyanide with additional chemicals and converts in the body into a chemical called, "thiocyanate". In very high blood concentrations for long periods of time it can adversely affect the thyroid.

[ndufcat]

maybe it could be how you made it too, who knows?

[MzTeaCake]

@ndufcat - It was! Would you believe I made it a lot simpler when I used less flax seeds and a new white knee high stocking! lol

[cjcaress69]

you are too funny. how did you get your FSG that color?

[MzTeaCake]

LOL That's the color it turned into. I never added anything to it.

[Sxxxynoelle]

Does the gel have a soft, medium, or firm hold you'd say?

[MzTeaCake]

The gel has a soft to medium hold to me....definitely not firm but will define your natural curl pattern too.

What about the thyroid issue???

[CurlyCaprice]

Flaxseed is actually very healthy. I read that in the UNCOOKED form it is toxic, but as long as it's cooked, it's fine, even for pregnant women. That's what i read. I'm no doctor or specialist, but i do like to read up on things especially when I'm interested and something like 'toxic' stops me in my tracks! Thanks girl!

[collegelmc]

it has to be the other products you used in combination with the FSG.

@MsRouge2000 look in the discription box.

hi i searched raw food thyroid avenue, guess ingredient & heads up on glandular effect matched. however calm typed cynaide's concern as your spoken voice, b/c flax seed's no sig source especially if soaked. idk boiling's influence speedin break down. yet goitrogens're deactivated cooked/tender naturally ripe/ wild sauerkrauts exposed change drips internal/topical. last def ok's anticancer therapy list flax seed immersed, & cancer's often thu thyroid break so must boost it when soft assimilated ~

Thanks for the info, I was just getting ready to boil my first batch when I saw your warning about the adverse efffects that flaxseed can have on the thyroid and I may have a thyroid condition. Ounce of prevention... ThanKs

[ramonalisa]

the title of your video talks of thyroid, would you explain your findings regarding that please. that was my interest. thank you.

[VinnyCons]

I had a similar experience TODAY, my first attempt. I too ended up using a cloth to strain the product, made a mess, had to try different amounts, and wasn't expecting it to be so much work. I don't know if the flaxseeds have nutritional value after being boiled, but if they do, I'll put the rest in my smoothie later today.

@chemsucksinbr i totally agree...when i used it i had tons of residue and my hair stayed greasy for a few days.....
