The Budwig protocol is considered one of the best diets for reversing or preventing cancer. The diet centers around Flax seed oil and cottage cheese.
Only use Flax Oil from the refrigerated section of your health food store. Never use capsules, flakes or flax oil from the shelves. It must be refrigerated and check the expiration date to make sure it has not expired. I would not use High Lignum Flax Oil because the taste is not clean and you cannot tell if it is rancid. They have left the husk from the processing of the seeds in the bottom of the bottle, leaving less product. You want
good clean tasting oil and no flavoring added as some oils are doing.
The mixing ratio is two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Mix only the amount you are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each and every time. One example would be to mix (2) tablespoons of cottage cheese to (1) tablespoons of flax oil, consumed twice daily or more depending on the severity of the health condition, one is attempting to address. One should probably start slowly with the oil and work their way up letting the body adjust to the protocol. The oil and the cottage cheese must be thoroughly mixed at a low speed, using a blender of some type, blending until a creamy texture with no standing oil is achieved. The mixture should then be immediately consumed.
A good recipe to make a meal with is to grind with a small coffee grinder (2) Tbs of Flax Seed and put in a small bowl. Do not buy pre-ground flax seed as the flax seed goes rancid 15 minutes after grinding. Brown or Golden whole Flaxseed is available at the health food stores and either will work.
We have always recommended using the immersion [stick or wand like] mixer for the Flax Seed Oil and Cottage Cheese. Here is a link to photos of an immersion mixer. Mix (3) Tbs of
organic low fat milk and (3) Tbs of organic low fat milk and (3) Tbs organic cold pressed Flax Seed Oil commonly referred to as (Flax Oil). Barlean’s or Spectrum brands are a good choice of flax oil. It is best (not) to use Flavored, Lignum or Highest Lignum Flax Oil. Then add to the blended oil and milk mixture 3 ½
oz of organic (1 or 2 percent) low fat cottage cheese. Blend until reaching a creamy quality and the oil has been absorbed. There should be no standing oil. This mixture should then be poured over the freshly ground flax seed and mixed together by spoon, not blender. The ratio may be adjusted for smaller or larger
proportions. The amount of milk can be adjusted as needed for consistency and easier blending. Once the mixture is completed it must be eaten immediately for best results. Make fresh each time.
The mixture can be flavored differently every day by adding nuts, preferably organic such as pecans, almonds or walnuts (not peanuts), banana, organic cocoa, organic shredded coconut, pineapple (fresh), blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, or (freshly) squeezed fruit juice. It’s usually best to place the fresh fruit
on top of the completed mixture or blend and enjoy as its own meal. Try your best to obtain organic fruit when possible. Many times this can be found frozen when not in season.
Dr Budwig pointed out that people who are suffering from Chronic or Terminal disease should work themselves up to consuming 4 – 8 Tbs of the oil daily. Usually the higher limits 6 – 8 Tbs were for people with cancer. She stated, people with Liver or Pancreatic Cancer etc, may have to work up very slowly with the oil and possibly only start with 1 teaspoon at a time giving their body time to adjust. Dr Budwig pointed out that cancer patients once starting the protocol and getting it under control must continue with a maintenance dose to prevent reoccurrence. A maintenance dose is considered (1) Tbs of the oil per one hundred pounds of body weight. The Budwig Diet takes time to work and in the event of cancer, tumors, etc may take 3-6
months to see results. Many other health issues may respond much faster.
If you are Lactose Intolerant:
Since commercial milk is pasteurized, beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the milk and dairy products are destroyed. This has led to a number of people having difficulty in tolerating quark or cottage cheese.
Dairy is an important component in Dr. Budwig’s Oil-Protein Diet. Because good substitutes are hard to find, it is worthwhile for those who are lactose intolerant to try different ways of tolerating dairy.
Some possibilities (in no particular order):
>> Use raw milk and raw milk products if you can get them.
>> Use goat’s milk instead of cow’s milk products.
>> Take the enzyme lactase with quark or cottage cheese.
>> Make yogurt quark
>> Make kefir quark (straining kefir to get a cream cheese consistency)
Get kefir grains, make kefir, remove grains, and strain through fine muslin cloth.
In the case of a person with a feeding tube a different approach has been found to work. Flax oil mixed into kefir and poured into the feeding tube appears to work in breaking down the oil, to make it water soluble.
This is mixed together by hand, stirred, allowed to sit for a few minutes, stirred again, and poured into the feeding tube. Again, this can be done the same as above by using ¼ cup kefir to 1 tablespoon of the flax oil and given through out the day at different times. Make sure there is no oil floating on top of the kefir. One may have to play with the mixture to get the desired results.
Dr Budwig noted prior to administering her protocol she had observed blood analysis of seriously ill cancer patients which showed a strange greenish-yellow substance in the place of the healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin. She found that their blood, without exception, was deficient in substances called phosphatides and lipoproteins. It has also been found that most people have blood that is 80% deficient in Omega 3.
Dr Budwig found that cancer patient’s blood, after three months of using her protocol, returned to bright red and the tumors began disappearing. Weakness and anemia disappeared and the life energy was restored. Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction, and diabetes were completely alleviated.
It has been mentioned in several articles that once a chronic or terminal disease has been brought under control or into
remission the amount of flax oil may be reduced to (1) tablespoon per hundred lbs. of body weight for maintenance. This is a lifetime commitment.
If yogurt is used in place of the cottage cheese it will require 3 times more yogurt to be consumed than cottage cheese as it lacks the protein density of cottage cheese. Even then, this may not be as effective.
There is some question, as Dr Budwig never addressed this issue. The yogurt will have to be (live cultures, not the kind in the supermarket). An example of using the yogurt would be ¾ cup of yogurt to 1 tablespoon of flax oil.
If one so desires, after the flax oil has been thoroughly blended with the cottage cheese or yogurt you may then add organic fruit, such as bananas, strawberries, red raspberries or blueberries and garnish on top or blended together.
The following items listed below are absolutely forbidden on this diet. The reason one needs to exclude these items from his/her diet is that they interfere with the diet by lowering the voltage field in the cells.
Sugar
All animal fats
All meats
Margarine
Butter
Salad dressing oils- exception extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Preservatives in food
Dr Budwig Diet Plan
Dr Budwig has a diet plan that is available in her cookbook; The Oil Protein Diet Cook Book- It can be purchased from www.amazon.com for around $10.00.
The following is an example of the protocol given in Dr. Budwig’s book.
Most people begin gradually adding healthy foods & liquids and eliminating damaging ones. The diet seems simple, but foods are powerful and can damage or heal a person.
This protocol has over a 90% success rate, with all kinds of cancer patients, according to Dr. Budwig, and those who studied and
reported on her work in Germany over a 50 year period. Many research studies done in the last ten years support the cancer-fighting value of the foods, juices, sun exposure, and relaxation, which Dr Budwig recommended.
To start the diet, it helps to have 3 appliances.
One is a coffee bean grinder to grind the whole brown flaxseeds sold in health food stores or online. In Dr Budwig’s protocol she used 2 to 3 tablespoons daily of the ground up flax seed. The flax seeds should be ground and used immediately. They must be consumed within 15 minutes of grinding or considered rancid. They can be used in cereals, oatmeal, shakes etc.
The 2nd appliance is an immersion hand-held mixer, a somewhat stick-shaped mixer, to blend the flaxseed oil [FO] and the cottage cheese [CC] together so that they become one food, making the oil water-soluble and more absorbable to the cells of the body.
The 3rd appliance needed is a vegetable juicer. A masticating-type may give a more healthful juice than a centrifugal type. Purchasing a vegetable juicer is absolutely essential. Patients with liver, gallbladder or pancreatic cancer may need to start with a lesser amount of the oil and build up slowly to Dr Budwig’s recommended dosage.
SUNSHINE – Sun on the skin is very healthful for vitamin D & other benefits but avoid burning. If you feel up to having some
EXERCISE; INDIVIDUALIZE IT ACCORDING TO YOUR STRENGTH – NEVER OVERDO IT.
Dr. Budwig did not push the idea of exercise; she felt that one needs rest to heal. So, take caution. [For those who can exercise, besides walking, a rebounder is beneficial for the lymph system, heart & circulation.
RELAXATION IN THE SUN IF POSSIBLE to relieve stress is healing - nature, music, chat, laughter. [On days when you cannot be in the sun, high-quality cold-pressed cod liver oil offers vitamin D & other benefits]
DR BUDWIG STRESSED THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AVOID UNHEALTHY FOODS & SUBSTANCES such as hydrogenated fats, animal fats, sugar, white flour, preservatives, chemicals and processed foods. Avoid leftovers – food should be prepared fresh and eaten soon after preparation to get
the health-giving electrons & enzymes-within 15-20 minutes. At least 3x a day drink a warm liquid, such as green or herbal teas, sweeten only with honey. Keep a food diary. Avoid stress and anxiety; take time to relax & enjoy each day. Listen to beautiful music, laugh, do deep breathing, connect with nature, and spend
time with people you like. Dr Budwig spoke about the damaging effects of stress.
Also, she did not include supplements or drugs in her protocol. Some supplements, especially high amounts of antioxidants, can interfere with how well the diet works, as can some drugs.
Dr Budwig in her protocol also used Eldi R Oils and Oil packs to help in the healing process of chronic and terminal diseases. Dr Budwig created the Eldi Oils (Electron Differentiation oils) through exact spectroscopic measurements via the absorption of light in different oils. The Eldi Oils have a favorable ‘retuning’ effect on the metabolism for people who are ill. The ‘retuning’ effect relates to the creation of oxygen and energy within the system.
The sun’s energy resonates with the electronic energy created by the flax oil and cottage cheese combination, and the Eldi oils do exactly the same when applied topically to the skin or as a rectal enema. When applying in a rectal enema it appeared she used 500CC’s of the oils but I could not find information if it was done once a day, twice a day or how long the regiment was done for. I
guess common sense will have to prevail. I also found where a person had used an enema of organic skim milk and organic flax oil with success. I guess if a person couldn’t get the Eldi Oil R in time this may be the way to go.
Wolfgang Bloching sent the following protocol on how Dr Budwig used Eldi Oil R to me from Germany. The Eldi Oil R is essential in this healing protocol. Wolfgang also advised that Dr Budwig when necessary used the Eldi Oil R in (Rectal Enemas). This was used for the very sick. The oils can be purchased from Wolfgang by contacting him at the following e-mail address:
