What is the Budwig Diet?
Over many generations, finding a cure for cancer has been the goal of many biochemists, pharmacologists, and physicists, such as Dr Johanna Budwig. After extensive research, in which she compared blood samples from cancer patients, with that of non- cancer patients, she discovered that the cancer patient’s blood contained omega 3 at lower levels, and a yellow substance, neither of which were found in healthy blood cells.
As a result of these studies, she also identified the important role trans-fats played in the development of cancerous cells. This led her to create the Budwig diet, to help cancer patients fight breast, prostrate, and lung cancer, and other diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, strokes, and cardiac infarction etc. This diet was designed to counter the cancerous cells, increase the red blood cells, and eventually overcome the cancer.
Diet Formulation
As a result of the research, Dr. Budwig centered her attention on flaxseed oil and quark. The two became the foundation of the diet plan. The flaxseed oil, rich in omega 3, was tolerated by most individuals and quark, rich in protein, and similar to cottage cheese, was readily available to users. Dr. Budwig was convinced, the high protein levels and the omega 3, would complement each other, and became the most powerful anti-cancer formula. Homemade kefir quark can be used to substitute quark made from buttermilk, or normal yogurt cultures, for those who cannot tolerate dairy products such as quark, or cottage cheese.
Preparation
To prepare the mixture, the recommended ratio is, one tablespoon flaxseed oil blended until creamy with two tablespoons cottage cheese. For the treatment of chronic disease, such as cancer, a gradual increase from 4- 6 tablespoons of the flaxseed oil with the cottage cheese is recommended. A maintenance dose should be calculated by using one tablespoon flaxseed oil for each one hundred pounds of body weight. Additives to the mixture may include nuts, such as pecan, almonds and walnuts, fresh fruits, such as bananas, pineapples, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Other additives can also include, flax meal, fruit juice, cocoa, shredded coconut, cinnamon.
Recommended foods
As part of the diet, it is also recommended that the individual consume a vegetarian diet, and use freshly ground flaxseeds.
Foods to Avoid
For the diet to be effective, Dr Budwig recommended that food such as sugar, all meats and animal fats, margarine, butter, salad dressings oils- except; extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon, and foods high in preservatives, should be avoided.
