The Budwig Diet

[Guest guest]

The " Budwig " Diet JoAnn Guest Jun 24, 2005 09:23 PDT

 

Note: This document details the

" Budwig Diet " ,

which is the ultimate anti-cancer diet.

 

The diet actually works by boosting your " immune response " to

*mutagenic* cells (IE: cancer and virus infected).

 

It's actually quite a well based diet in the sense that it is loaded

with Omega-3 oils, anti-oxidants,and sulpher compounds.

All of these key ingredents help promote a healthy and active immune

system, and that is the most important aspect of preventing or

recovering from cancer.

 

Until then, if you know of anyone who is ailing from cancer, I

encourage you to inform them of this diet.

 

You should also buy the book.

It's only $7, and it can literally save your life.

 

It has certainly proven to be more effective than chemotherapy and

radiation, which usually cuts the victims lifespan to only 5 years

post therapy..

 

Low-carber's will also note that it's a

low-sugar diet, and also emphasizes the consumption

of as few man-made/processed products as possible.

 

I've been investigating the option of substituting organic yogurt

for the cottage cheese, because it has the same protein profile, but

is much less allergenic than the cheese.

Budwig Diet

 

OMEGA-3 OILS

 

Omega-3 refers to a group of oils found in seafood and many cold-

climate plants.

Flaxseed oil is a rich source of large amounts of alpha linolenic

acid, ALA (55-61%).

 

From this, the body can manufacture its own EPA, which is important

for helping regulate the production of prostaglandins (hormone-like

substances) useful for good health ( " The natural way to better

health and longer life " , Bullivant).

 

THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET

 

The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr.

Johanna Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in

1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP

(Oncologist and former cardiologist)

 

in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: " this diet is far and away the most

successful anti-cancer diet in the world " .

 

Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and curative.

 

She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is

responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer

growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.

 

The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling

oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.

 

The theory is:

the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated

by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-

soluble and which is present in nuts, onion and leek

vegetables such as leek, chive, onion and garlic, but especially

organic yogurts and cottage cheese.

 

Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly

unsaturated fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxydation. It is

essential to use only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic

acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, poppyseed,and walnut oils.

Such oil should be consumed together with foods containing the right

proteins otherwise the oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing

more harm than good.

 

The best combination is organic yogurt/cottage cheese and linseed

oil. The

linseed should be freshly ground.

 

Carbohydrates containing natural sugar,

such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in

the diet. Honey is also beneficial.

 

Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they

contain oxidation products, but

much carotine as provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed.

Vitamin B from organic yoghurt, and natural yeast is beneficial.

 

A person requires daily about 4 oz. of organic cottage cheese mixed

well

with 1.5 oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of organic milk. A blender or

egg

beater works fine. The mixture can be sweetened with honey or

otherwise

flavoured naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning 2

spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil should be taken in luke warm

buttermilk or yoghurt.

 

The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially

heart ailments (corony thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes,

arthritis, and malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight.

 

" What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial

disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is:

CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the

response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the

precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951

and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in

vivo (real)... " (Roehm, " Townsend Letter for Doctors " , July 1990)

 

GENERAL RULES

 

The patient has no nourishment on day #1 other than 250 ml (8.5 oz)

of Flax Oil with honey plus freshly squeezed fruit juices (no sugar

added!). In the case of a very ill person, champagne may be added on

the first day in place of juice and is taken with the Flax Oil and

honey. Champagne is easily absorbable and has a serious purpose

here.

 

1) SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to

sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices. Honey is also allowed and

is included in the recipes. Fortunately, honey, although sweet, is

not detrimental like commercial white sugar. (unboiled Honey is

best - available through Healthfood stores).

 

2) Other 'forbiddens' are:

 

- All animal fats.

- All Salad Oils (this included commercial mayonnaise)

- All Meats (chemicals & hormones)

- Butter

- Margarine

- Preserved Meats (the preservatives block metabolism even of Flax

Oil)

 

 

3) Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine - carrot, celery,

apple, and red beet.

 

4) Three times daily a warm tea is essential - peppermint, rose hips

or grape tea - all sweetened as desired with honey. One cup of black

tea before noon is fine.

 

DAILY PLAN

 

Before breakfast - a glass of Acidophilus milk or Sauerkraut juice

is taken.

 

Breakfast - Muesli (regular cereal) is overlaid with 2 tablespoons

(30 ml) of Flax Oil and honey and fresh fruit according to season -

berries, cherries, apricots, peaches, grated apple. Vary the flavour

from day to day. Use any nuts except peanuts! Herbal teas as desired

or black tea. A 4 oz (120 g) serving of THE SPREAD (directions

below). This is fine to eat 'straight' like a custard, or add it to

other foods taken in the day as you will see.

 

Morning tea (10am) - A glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery,

or beet-apple juice is taken.

 

Lunch - Raw salad with organic yoghurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise

(directions below). In addition to 'greens' salads, use grated

turnips, carrots,

kohlrabi, radishes, sauerkraut or cauliflower. A fine powder of

horseradish, chives or parsley may be added for flavour.

 

Cooked Meal Course - Steamed vegetables, potatoes, or such grains as

rice, buck-wheat or millet may be served. to these add either THE

SPREAD or THE MAYO - for flavour and to up your intake of Flax Oil.

Also mix THE SPREAD with potatoes for an especially hearty meal. Add

caraway, chives, parsley or other herbs.

 

Dessert - Mix fresh fruit other than those used for breakfast with

THE SPREAD, this time (instead of honey), flavoured using cream of

lemon, vanilla or berries.

 

Afternoon Tea (4pm) - A small glass of natural wine (no

preservatives) or champagne or fresh fruit juice with 1-2

tablespoons of honey-coated Fax Seeds.

 

Supper - Have this early, at 6pm. Make a hot meal using buckwheat,

oat or organic soy cakes. grits from buckwheat are the very best and

can be placed in a vegetable soup, or in a more solid form of cakes

with herbal sauce.

Sweet sauces & soups can always be given far more

healing energy by adding THE SPREAD. Only honey or grape juice can

be used for sweeteners. NO white sugar (or brown!) Only freshly

squeezed juices and NOT reconstituted juices (preservative danger)

may be used. These must be completely natural.

 

How to prepare 'THE SPREAD'

 

Place 250 ml (8.5 oz) Flax Oil into a mixer bowl and add one pound

(450 g) of 1% organic Cottage Cheese (ie low fat eg Quark) and add 4

tablespoons (60 ml) of Honey. Turn on the mixer and add just enough

low fat milk or water to get the contents of the bowl to blend in

together. In 5 minutes, a preparation of custard consistency results

that has NO taste of the oil (and no oily 'ring' should be seen when

you rinse out the bowl).

 

Alternatively, you can use organic Yoghurt instead of Cottage Cheese

in

proportions of 1 oz (30 g) of Yoghurt to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each

of Flax Oil and of honey and blend as above.

 

NOTE: When Flax Oil is blended like this, it does not cause

diarrhoea even when given in large amounts. It reacts chemically

with the (sulphur) proteins of the cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc.

 

How to prepare 'THE MAYO' (Mayonnaise):

 

Mix together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Flax Oil, 2 tablespoons (30

ml)organic milk, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) organic Yoghurt.

 

Then add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Lemon juice (or Apple Cider

Vinegar) and add 1 teaspoon (2.5g) Mustard plus some herbs such as

marjoram or dill.

 

Next add 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no

preservatives! - read label!) and a pinch of herbal salts.

 

(The above mayonnaise plus lots of mustard and a few bananas is very

tasty!)

 

Concluding remarks by Dr. Roehm - " I only wish that all my patients

had a PhD in Biochemistry and Quantum Physics to enable them to see

how with such consummate skill this diet was put together. It is a

wonder. The champagne vehicle IS easier to assimilate and get

someone almost on their death-bed going again. A retention enema of

250 ml (8.5 oz) of oil is another route to get this precious life-

furthering, ELECTRON-RICH oil into the body. It can also be applied

to the skin for transdermal absorption. I'll answer your questions

and give you " special orders " for you particular case.

 

You will have to remain on this diet for a good 5 years, at which

time your tumour may have disappeared. Persons who break the rules

of this diet, Dr Budwig reports, (ie eating preserved meats, candy,

etc) will sometimes grow rapidly worse and cannot be saved after

they come back from their spree (bon-bons mean bye-bye).

 

In 1967, Dr Budwig broadcast the following sentence during an

interview over the South German Radio Network, describing her

incoming patients with failed operations and x-ray therapy " :

 

" Even in these cases it is possible to restore health in a few

months at most, I would truly say 90% of the time " .

 

" This has never been contradicted, but this knowledge has been a

long time reaching this side of the ocean, hasn't it? Cancer

treatment can be very simple and very successful once you know how.

The cancer interests dont want you to know this.

 

May those of you who have suffered from this disease (and I include

your family and friends in this) forgive the miscreants who have

kept this simple information from reaching you for so long " .

" The best, purest, most carefully prepared Flax Oil in America is,

in my opinion " , said Roehm, " is Omegaflo. Arrowhead mills label is

most often seen in Florida (USA). Look for the Omegaflo " .

 

" FLAX (LINSEED) OIL is readily denatured by oxygen, heat, and light.

That's why it is used in paint. Rancid oil is bad for health, so oil

MUST be carefully produced, packed under nitrogen in light-proof

containers, refrigerated until used, used as fresh as possible, and

stabilised with protein (THE SPREAD, etc) promptly once the

container is opened... "

 

(In Australia: Stoney Creek Flaxseed oil is manufactured to these

specifications - available through health food stores - Max)

 

Flax Seeds may also be used. Seeds need only be cracked in a food

blender, or they may be ground in a coffee grinder. One needs three

times the amount of seed to get the oil equivalent. Seeds are high

in calories, so one may gain weight. The seeds are also high in

soluble fibre, so blending with liquid tends to produce ever-

hardening " jellies " . Fresh-cracked seed sprinkled on muesli & eaten

promptly tastes great.

Ed McCabe (p85, " Oxygen Therapies " ) discusses his point of view on

essential fatty acids:

 

" The red blood cells in the lungs give up carbon dioxide and take on

oxygen. They are then transported to the cell site via the blood

vessels, where, they release their oxygen into the plasma. This

released oxygen is " attracted " to the cells by the " resonance " of

the pi-electron " oxidation-enhancing fatty acids. Otherwise, oxygen

cannot work its way into the cell. " Electron rich fatty acids " play

the decisive role in " respiratory enzymes, which are the basis of

cell oxidation... " .

 

" Dont eat anything hydrogenated like (like margarine, or fried

foods) as it defeats oxygenation. Avoid products that

say " hydrogenated " .

 

" We should eat essential essential fatty acids to enhance

oxygenation. They can be found naturally in Carotene, Saffron, and

Flaxseed oil. "
