INTRODUCTION to the BUDWIG PROTOCOL with DIET DETAILS
This plan has been stopping cancer & other diseases for over 50 years
---------------------------------------------------------------
This can help you to follow Dr. Budwig's FULL 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 the experiences  
of the people who have successfully followed it and have regained health.

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 next article.  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 she recommended. There are many testimonials on this site written by members of the Yahoo Group I moderate, FlaxSeedoil2, who have regained their health by following this protocol after being diagnosed with cancer - many of them terminal. The plan has helped people to overcome other conditions as well. You can read about some of them in our Testimonial section.

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 electric mixer (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 type juice is said to give a more healthful juice than a centrifugal type. Research Green Star & Omega 8005.  [As a member of this site, if you join, you will see a video demonstration of the Omega 8005.]

FLAXSEED OIL and COTTAGE CHEESE (FOCC) or quark:
Generally, each tablespoon[Tbs] 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 more economical 
to buy pain FO instead of High Lignan FO because healthier lignans
are obtained at a lower cost by using freshly ground flaxseeds.
[used instead of Linomel]. Ground seeds must be consumed within 20 minutes.

TO START THE DAY - About an hour before breakfast, have
a glass [4 to 8oz] of raw sauerkraut juice. It has cancer-fighting benefits.
Homemade is best in order to get the digestive enzymes. 
To get saurkraut juice, run the finished homemade kraut through your juicer. 
Upon joining our site, you can watch a video on making sauerkraut at home.

You can also buy raw sauerkraut juice online at this linked website:

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 call it FOCC]. Cottage cheese, quark, homemade yogurt cheese or kefir cheese is OK to use also. 

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 Tbs flaxseed oil with 6 Tbs low-fat CC or quark with a hand-held
immersion electric mixer for up to a minute. If needed, add 2 Tbs milk.
Avoid adding water or juices when blending FO with CC or quark.
The mixture should be thoroughly blended with no separated oil showing.
Layer or stir in the following ingredients:
[2] Grind 2 Tbs whole flaxseeds and add. [This replaces Linomel]
Freshly ground seeds should be eaten within 20 minutes, eat recipe immediately.
[3] Add various fruits such as fresh [or thawed-out frozen if necessary]
berries, all kinds, which contain strong 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 1 or 2 Tbs of 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 a bit of raw honey and, if you like, vanilla or cinnamon, lemon juice, etc.
Try various fresh organic fruits & flavorings.
[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.] 
Afterward, you can have whole grain bread with cucumber, tomato, radishes or other raw veggies.

Please look on our home page for the free video of the FOCC recipe being made.

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.

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 Tbs 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 Tbs FO blended with 1 or 2 Tbs organic low-fat CC plus one Tbs organic apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and spices. Or, for sweeter dressing, try FO & grape, orange, apple or another juice. You can vary the salad dressings based on the
recipes in our videos or in the Oil-Protein Diet Cookbook. The body can digest 1 or 2 Tbs oil without cottage cheese. Avoid commercial salad dressings. Pumpkin seed oil can also be used along with FO. Experiment with spices or honey for variety.

If still hungry, make boiled or steamed veggies and grains. [See "DINNER"]

LUNCH DESSERT: It's IMPORTANT to have a SECOND SERVING of FOCC with varied
fresh raw fruits (organic if possible). Again, use 3 Tbs FO & 6 Tbs CC with
fresh fruit but NO flaxseeds. If there are problems digesting this amount of
oil, begin with smaller amounts of FOCC and increase it slowly. Chew very well
to optimise digestion. Predigestion starts in the mouth by mixing saliva with
the foods. Try to have meals in a peaceful atmosphere. Relaxing is important.

MID-AFTERNOON -
Two Tbs whole flax seeds, freshly ground, stirred into a glass of
sparkling wine or Champagne OR one Tbs flax seeds, ground and
stirred into a glass of fruit juice: grape, cherry or pineapple.
Chew the ground flaxseeds for better digestion. 

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.

LATE AFTERNOON -
One Tbs 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 
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. [We offer an Oleolux-making video.]
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 on this website & 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.

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

++ Stress is damaging. Avoid & reduce 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, a support
group or some method of letting go of it. [We have a video of relaxation methods.]

++ ELDI oils are oils for external application or enema. Dr. Budwig had her
patients use them. Some do well without them. [Read our articles on ordering ELDI oils.]

++ Dr.Budwig did not include drugs or supplements in her protocol guidelines.
In her 1999 book, she spoke against them. Some patients wean off of some drugs slowly under a doctor's care. Always consult your doctor in these matters. Flax oil is known to thin the blood, be careful about using blood-thinning drugs, including aspirin. It could be dangerous. Some supplements, especially high amounts of man-made antioxidants, can seriously interfere with how well the diet works, as can some drugs and treatments such as chemo and radiation, cortisones, hormones & pain killers.
She also warned against the dangers of oxygen therapy for the cancer patient &
said that the cells are not ready to absorb extra oxygen until they are healed through diet.

++ The foods in the Budwig Protocol give your body what it needs daily to help to stop cancer. Dr. Budwig warned that you should follow the diet closely for three years before relaxing a little, but you cannot regularly include damaging foods in your daily menu. Doing so may allow the cancer to return. This has happened to some people who left the diet too soon. Please notice that the diet does not include animal proteins or fats other than that in cheese and milk. Meats, poultry, fish, eggs and butter are excluded. Research has shown that these foods can promote cancer growth. Cane sugar and any products including it are also excluded. Avoid highly processed foods; try to eat as naturally as possible. Avoid commercial salad dressings, trans-fats and preserved oils. We show various salad dressing recipes on our videos.

++ 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 Amazon.com or from Barleans.com for about $10. Budwig-Videos will give you recipes & information based on these books. 

Her newest (and last) book, Cancer-The Problem and The Solution, written in 1999, is available from http://www.nexus-book.com  
The science from that book is discussed in our video for members.
