Diet Details on the Budwig Protocol

As I've mentioned before, I'm following the Budwig Protocol to combat the cancer recurrance.
I'm trying to avoid saying "my" cancer because I don't want to take ownership of it. I want to get rid of it. But that may seem a little silly. Still, whatever works...
Anyway, here are the basic instructions. There's a lot to it and it takes awhile to get it all down. I'm still working on it. But it can be done.
I've got the FOCC down. This morning I had a fine mix of the flax oil and cottage cheese with apple juice, blueberries, boysenberries and cantaloupe, mixed into a smoothie and then added the ground flax seeds. It was quite nummers.
You have to play with it to find what's best. I started eating it, making the mix and then adding the fruit. But I like the smoothie much better. And it's faster in the morning.
I'm getting the tea down and the sunshine. Plus the second FOCC at lunch - it's so much better without the seeds. But I'm still working on the veggie juicing throughout the day. And the saurkraut juice? That just makes me wince. But I'm going to give it a try.
Let me know if you've tried this and what you think.

INTRODUCTION to the BUDWIG PROTOCOL with DIET DETAILS
This plan has stopped cancer & other diseases for over 50 years
----------------------------------------------------------
This can help you to follow Dr. Budwig's protocol. It is based
on her book, "Cancer - The Problem and the Solution" [1999], her
cookbook, "The Oil-Protein Diet" [1952] as well as on our Files
for this group and experiences of our members.

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. The Budwig plan has healed
people of many kinds of cancer and other diseases and conditions.

In liver, pancreatic, stomach and gall bladder disease it's best to
begin with a "Transition Diet" which is explained in our Files
Section, Folder 3. After the transition, begin the diet below with
small amounts of the oil & cheese as well as the other foods.

Dr.Budwig had over a 90% success rate with this protocol with
all kinds of cancer patients 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 Dr.Budwig recommended.
There are many testimonials in the Files of this group written by
members who have regained their health by following this protocol
after being diagnosed with cancer - many of them terminal.

To start the diet, it helps to have 3 appliances:
1- A coffee bean grinder to grind the whole brown flaxseeds sold
in health food stores or online. Freshly ground seeds are a must.
2- An immersion hand-held mixer (a stick-shaped mixer) to blend
and bond the flaxseed oil [FO] & cottage cheese [CC] together so that
they become one food, making the oil water-soluble and more absorbable.
It's important to use an electric mixer rather than stirring the two.
3- A vegetable juicer. A masticating or extractor type may give a
more healthful juice than a centrifugal type. Many members like Green Star.

FLAXSEED OIL and COTTAGE CHEESE (FOCC) or quark:
Generally, each tablespoon of Flaxseed Oil (FO) is blended with 2 or
more tablespoons of low-fat organic Cottage Cheese(CC)or quark.
That is a ratio of approximately 1:2. Cold-pressed refrigerated
liquid FO is used, for example, Barlean's & Spectrum. It's better
to buy regular FO instead of High Lignan FO. Healthier lignans
are obtained at a lower cost by using freshly ground flaxseeds.
[used instead of Linomel]. Ground seeds must be used within 15 minutes.

TO START THE DAY - About an hour before breakfast, have
a glass of raw sauerkraut juice. It has cancer-fighting benefits.
Home-made is best in order to get the digestive enzymes [recipe in
Files - Folder 5 'Foods']. Go to this site for a video on making sauerkraut:
http://www.leeners.com/sauerkraut-video.html Press the arrow to start video.

Also, you can order RAW sauerkraut juice at this link:
http://stores.commonhealthproducts.org/Detail.bok?no=26
Anything pasteurized has lost its enzymes but still offers lactic acid
which is important and helps with digestion. Biotta is a brand that
is pasteurized but is a high quality juice, has lactic acid & vitamins C & K.
Biotta can be ordered online. One 17oz bottle offers 2 or 3 servings.
Use this link. http://tinyurl.com/2karv2

BREAKFAST -
Start with a cup of green tea or herbal tea. It provides warm liquid
required for the ground flaxseeds to swell properly. That is
important. Then eat your Muesli [Muesli in the Budwig diet refers to
the recipe below - we often call it FOCC]. Cottage cheese, quark,
homemade yogurt cheese or kefir cheese is OK to use. [Recipes in Files]

Budwig FOCC[or quark]Recipe: [Make enough for 1 meal only, avoid storing. Eat
immediately. Use organic foods if possible. JB's cookbook has varied recipes]
[1] Blend 3 tblsp flaxseed oil with 6 tblsp low-fat CC or quark with a hand-
held immersion electric mixer for about a minute. If needed, add 2 tblsp milk.
The mixture should be like rich whipped cream with no separated oil.
Layer or stir in the following ingredients:
[2] Grind 2 tblsp whole flaxseeds and add. [This replaces Linomel]
Freshly ground seeds become rancid within 20 minutes, eat recipe immediately.
[3] Add fresh [or thawed-out frozen if necessary] berries - blueberries,
raspberries, etc., which contain cancer-fighting ellagic acid.
[4] Add other fresh fruit if you like, totaling 1/2 to 1 cup of fruit.
[5] If mixture is too thick, add some fruit juice [e.g. dark grape, blueberry]
or milk. Fruits & their juices are proven cancer fighters.
[6] Add organic raw nuts such as walnuts or Brazil nuts [no peanuts]
and, if you wish, a bit of raw honey or vanilla. Try various
fresh organic fruits and flavorings. Limit honey to 3 to 5 teaspoons a day.
[This recipe is one example of how FO can be mixed with cheese. If you don't
like this recipe, you can make yogurt cheese, kefir cheese, goat cheese. You
also can add veggies/spices rather than fruit & eat the fruit at another time.]

Here's a link to a video of the FOCC recipe being made.

Here's a 2nd video of the FOCC Introductory Recipe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZgLvg1ixhk

MID-MORNING -
Freshly-pressed vegetable juice from carrots and/or beet, celery, lemon, apple
as well as green vegetables - lettuces or spinach[carrot & beet juices are
especially helpful to the liver & are strong cancer fighters] Vary vegetables.
Chart comparing juicers: http://www.2-life.com/site/juicer_reviews.html

GO OUTSIDE FOR SUNLIGHT - Dr. Budwig emphasized that being in sunlight is
very healthful for vit.D and other benefits [even in winter].
Avoid burning & avoid sunscreen & sunglasses.

If you feel up to having some exercise, individualize it according to
your strength - DON'T OVERDO IT. Some quotes by Dr.Budwig regarding
exercise: "Often yoga or sport is very important, but sometimes the
patient should not do this" and "I would never allow a cancer patient
with metastases to jog, ride a bicycle, or to practice yoga. His body
must relax."
One form of exercise that is beneficial for most people is using a rebounder
[a mini-trampoline] because it helps clear the lymph system and promotes better
drainage. See www.healthbounce. com & www.needakrebounder .com]

BEFORE LUNCH -
A cup of warm green or herbal tea. Use honey if desired (no sugar).
Also suggested, one tblsp whole flaxseeds, freshly ground and added
to a glass of Champagne, known to help digestion & absorption. [1999 book]

LUNCH -
RAW vegetable salad with various home-made salad dressings which
may include one or more tblsp FO blended with 1 or 2 tblsp organic
low-fat CC plus one tblsp organic apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
and spices. Or, for sweeter dressing, try FO & red grape juice or
another fruit juice. You can vary the salad dressings based on the
recipes in the Oil-Protein Diet Cookbook. Several recipes do not
include cottage cheese at all. The body can utilize 1 or 2 tblsp
oil without cottage cheese. Avoid commercial salad dressings.
Experiment with spices, honey or garlic for variety.

If still hungry, make baked or steamed veggies and grains. [See dinner]

LUNCH DESSERT: Repeat the breakfast recipe with varied fresh raw fruits
(organic if possible). This is the second FO/CC serving of the day:
three tblsp flax oil & 6 tblsp CC with fresh fruit but NO flaxseeds.
Smaller amounts of food are digested better. Work up to six tblsp FO,
if possible, mixed with twice as much CC, depending on digestive
ability and size. Chew very well to optimise digestion. Predigestion
starts in the mouth by mixing saliva with the foods. Try to have your
meals in a peaceful atmosphere. Stress reduction is important.

MID-AFTERNOON -
Two tblsp whole flaxseeds, freshly ground, stirred into a glass of
sparkling wine or Champagne OR one tblsp flaxseeds, ground and
stirred into a glass of fruit juice: grape, cherry or pineapple.
Chew the ground flaxseeds for better digestion. Repeat 1/2 hour later.

RELAX, in sunlight if possible, TO RELIEVE STRESS. Empty the mind of worries,
angers, fears. Focus on nature, music, chat, laughter, or what pleases you.
Think kind thoughts about yourself & others. Dr. Budwig said that relieving
stress is extremely important. Many research studies support this idea.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FlaxSeedOil2/message/57568

LATE AFTERNOON -
One tblsp whole flaxseeds, ground & added to blueberry or papaya juice.
Both papaya & pineapple [above] have digestive enzymes if they
are fresh. Most bottled juices have lost their enzymes but still have
valuable nutrients. If making the juice, drink it immediately after
preparation before the enzymes are lost by air and light. You want
to get as many natural enzymes as possible [as well as electrons
from flax seeds & oils]. [Note: Instead of the fruit juices, some
members heal using homemade vegetable juices as described at 10 a.m.]

DINNER -
Vegetable soup or a variety of veggies and starch-containing foods,
well spiced. Add Oleolux and nutritional yeast flakes after cooking.
Nutritional yeast adds important B-vitamins which boost energy & mood.
Choices of cooked starchy foods - buckwheat (JB's top choice-digests well &
very nutritious), millet, brown rice, lentils, beans, peas, yams & potatoes.
Add lightly cooked vegetables such as kale, tomatoes, spinach, beets, carrots,
chard, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, onions, artichokes, asparagus,
peppers, green beans, etc. Also, add healthful spices such as cayenne pepper,
paprika, turmeric & others. AFTER COOKING, add homemade Oleolux 'to taste,'
which adds more nutrition and satiates appetite. [Oleolux recipe in File 5].
Use also as a spread on bread [whole or sprouted grain, homemade or Ezekiel].

EVENING -
A glass of organic red wine if desired.

The above diet can be varied by the many recipes in Dr. Budwig's
book "The Oil-Protein Diet Cookbook," sold on Amazon and Barlean's
websites for about $10.

THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT:
Dr. Budwig stressed that we must AVOID UNHEALTHY FOODS
and SUBSTANCES such as hydrogenated fats, trans-fats, animal fats
[other than in cheese]; avoid butter, sugar, white flour, preservatives,
processed foods, pesticides and chemicals, even those in household
products & cosmetics. Drink chemical-free, filtered water if possible.

++ Avoid leftovers - food should be prepared fresh and eaten soon
after preparation to maximize intake of health-giving electrons &
enzymes.

++ At least 3x a day drink warm green or herbal teas, unsweetened or
sweetened only with honey.

++ Stress is very damaging. Avoid stress and anxiety; take time to
relax & enjoy each day. Listen to beautiful music, laugh, do deep
breathing, connect with nature, spend time with people you like.
Eliminate anger and sadness through EFT, counseling, support
group or some method of letting go of it.

++ ELDI oils are oils for external application. Dr.Budwig had her
patients use them extensively. [See Files for information] .

++ Dr.Budwig did not include supplements in her protocol.
Also, as far as we can tell, she did not use drugs with her protocol
and generally discontinued those that were taken.
Some supplements, especially high amounts of man-made antioxidants,
can seriously interfere with how well the diet works, as can
some drugs and treatments (particularly cytostatic [chemo and
radiation] treatments, cortisones, hormones and many pain killers).
She also warned against the dangers of ozone and oxygen therapy
for the cancer patient. Ozone resulted in death for some members.

++ The foods in the Budwig Protocol give your body what it needs
daily to stop cancer. Dr. Budwig warned that you should follow
the diet strictly for three years before relaxing a little, but
you can never stop these foods for more than a few days, and you
cannot regularly include damaging foods or supplements. Doing so
may allow the cancer to return. This has happened to some members.

++ Take care of your teeth. If there are hidden infections, they
could interfere with your improvement.

Dr.Budwig's book "Flax Oil as a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart
Infarction, Cancer and other Diseases" offers an understanding of
the scientific principles behind this protocol. Her cookbook
"The Oil-Protein Diet" gives practical diet information and recipes.
Both of these books can be ordered from www.Amazon.com or from
www.Barleans.com for about $10. Excerpts are in our files section.

Her newest (and last) book, "Cancer-The Problem and The Solution,"
written in 1999, is available from http://www.nexus-book.com
Excerpts from this book are in the Links Section of our group
along with Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]& other information.

[buy propecia]

You should start with simple fruits like bananas and apples, or any other fruit that is classified as B/D (beginner foods). The reason you should start with these particular ones are because they are virtually hypoallergenic and carry a very low risk of your child having an allergic reaction. You should delay introducing citrus fruits and strawberries as these are more prone to causing allergic reactions.

[bladder control]

Indeed, in liver, pancreatic, stomach and gall bladder disease it's best to begin with a "Transition Diet".
