I was not only struck by the products high nutritional values but also by their culinary qualities. The light buttery and nutty flavors of their True Cold-Milled® Flax Seed not only enhanced the food I prepared, but it particularly improved the texture of many of my healthy baking recipes. By the way, I also used Whole Flax Seed which I ground at various levels to experiment with texture. Finally I tested their Flax Oil which added a nice slightly lemony and nutty flavor to my healthy salad dressings.

At this point, Premium Gold® Flax Products were what I was looking for. What I did not realize yet, was how they were going to change my life for the better. As you can imagine, I have been eating lots of flax seed for a while, but did not notice much difference in my health, until I started to eat this particular brand. Let me explain. I have been suffering from serious food allergies for a few years. Recently, those allergies have become life threatening and forced me to give up one of my love "cooking". I also had to control my food in-take in order to minimize my problem. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper! After reading about their Concentrated Flax Hull Lignans health benefits, I decided to take 1 tablespoon every day on top of the 1 tablespoon of Dash O'Flax® I was putting in my salad or yogurt. Within a week, I noticed I was feeling much more energized and felt better. A month later, I noticed that I was no longer having food allergies attack and suddenly no longer needed to take my allergy pill. Carefully, I started to re-introduce certain food in my diet and surprisingly had no problem. Even a cookie containing cinnamon, which normally would rush me to the hospital, had little effect on me. Eventually, I resumed pretty much a normal life and, to my joy, cooking. Not only I felt rejuvenated, but also following a physical, I discovered that my cholesterol was at its lowest point ever.

Consequently, I, Chef Marie, am proud to endorse Premium Gold® Flax Products. I look forward continuing enjoying all their health benefits and promoting them with my business.

One last comment I would like to make. The friendliness and professionalism of their customer service and staffs deserve a Golden Award! My profound and sincere appreciation goes to Deborah Miller, Vice President, for all her unconditional support. I will treasure the relationship we have developed over the last few months forever and look forward to our future cooperation.

Sincerely,

Mitch & Teresa Dugo, Saint Peters, MO

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!
