A study into prostate cancer and the use of flaxseed (linseed) is reported in an article on Doctor Mercola’s site: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/21/flaxseed-part-two.aspx The study only included linseed (flax seed) and not the oil, it was not part of a holistic treatment but still showed encouraging results.
Another interesting study on the web is into peripheral artery disease (PAD) reported on http://forums.webmd.com/3/hypertension-and-high-blood-pressure-exchange/resource/46
