This message written and posted on June 29, 2004 in our forum. Cheryl's mom was still doing well in her last report not long ago.

-------

I will tell you about my own mother. After my dad was diagnosed with
Non-Hodgkins lymphoma he started using the Budwig protocol and in sympathy,
my mom started doing the protocol with my dad.

She had bursitis in her hip and very stiff swollen finger joints. She has
been battling with arthritis for more than 15 years prior to starting the
Budwig protocol. In fact the pain in her hip was so severe that she could
not climb stairs. She is 68 and my dad is 71. After 3 months on the
protocol her hip has totally recovered and she now literally runs up and
down stairs. She also has full movement in all her fingers and totally and
completely stopped using all the pain killers. After some research I
discovered that certain foods should be avoided namely nightshade family
vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and peppers. We included
MSM, ginger (fresh) and bromalain, either in capsule form or simply by
eating pineapple. Also, prior to the Budwig protocol she hardly ever sat in
the sun because of her very sensitive skin. Now, breakfast and sometimes
lunch is served outside on the patio, 'Al Fresco', and both my parents get
at least 20 minutes of sun every day.

The improvement is remarkable and my mom cannot stop talking about how
wonderful she feels. If you need more info or if you would like to write to
my mom you can contact me off the list and I'm sure she'll be more than
happy to tell you about her dramatic improvement herself.

Best wishes
Cheryl
