The Budwig Diet- Flaxseed Oil & Cottage Cheese

by Mike Vrentas

 

In my research, Dr Johanna Budwig’s name has been referred to on numerous occasions. The articles mentioned that Dr Budwig was using Organic Flaxseed Oil combined with Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese in preventing and curing Cancer and Chronic Diseases. I would just shake my head in disbelief and, without giving it a second thought, move onto other research. I was not willing to take the time to investigate this protocol. It did not make any sense to me how this could possibly work. That was a big mistake.

 

If you are researching this website for a loved one, family member, or a friend who is suffering from a terminal or chronic disease this is one of the most important pieces of information I have come across during thousands of hours of research. Please take the time to read this carefully as this can be a life saving protocol.

 

If you are already familiar with the science on how the Budwig Diet works you may scroll directly down to (The Budwig Protocol and Diet Plan). There it will guide you in what to purchase and how to mix the organic flax oil and organic low fat cottage cheese as well as some explanation to the diet. To understand the full diet her book will have to be purchased. In Dr Budwig’s protocol there is much more than just flax oil and cottage cheese. If you are just now hearing about this protocol for the first time you need to read this paper in it’s entirety to understand how this protocol works in healing your body. This is a very, very powerful protocol when done properly and has healed thousands of people with chronic and terminal diseases.

 

One afternoon I decided to take the time to start researching Dr Budwig. I wanted to know who she was and learn more about her protocol. I had no idea that two months later, after reading three of her books translated from German to English, and combing the internet, I would still be looking at Dr Budwig’s work. I was trying my best to understand this protocol so I could pass it along to others. I believe I now understand why it appears to work so well. The following is what my research revealed.

 

Dr Budwig was born in Germany in 1908. She passed away in 2003 at the age of 95. She has been referred to as a top European Cancer Research Scientist, Biochemist, Blood Specialist, German Pharmacologist, and Physicist. Dr Budwig was a seven-time Nobel Prize nominee.

In Germany in 1952 she was the Central Government’s Senior Expert for fats and pharmaceutical drugs. She’s considered one of the worlds leading authorities on fats and oils. Her research has shown the tremendous effects that commercially processed fats and oils have in destroying cell membranes and lowering the voltage in the cells of our bodies, which then result in chronic and terminal disease. What we have forgotten is that we are body electric. The cells of our body fire electrically. They have a nucleus in the center of the cell which is positively charged, and a cell membrane, which is the outer lining of the cell, is negatively charged. We are all aware of how fats clog up our veins and arteries, and are the leading cause of heart attacks, but we never looked beyond the end of our noses to see how these very dangerous fats and oils are affecting the overall health of our minds and bodies. Dr Budwig discovered that when unsaturated fats have been chemically treated that their unsaturated qualities are destroyed and the field of electrons removed. This Commercial Processing of fats destroys the field of electrons that the cell membranes (60-75 trillion) in our bodies must have to fire properly. The fats ability to associate with protein and thereby to achieve water solubility in the fluids of the living body---all this is destroyed.  As Dr Budwig put it, “the battery is dead because the electrons in these fats and oils recharge it. When the electrons are destroyed the fats are no longer active and cannot flow into the capillaries and through the fine capillary networks. This is when circulation problems arise. 

 

Without the proper metabolism of fats in our bodies every vital function and every organ is affected. This includes the generation of new life and new cells. Our bodies produce over 500 million new cells daily. Dr Budwig points out that in growing new cells, there is a dipolarity between the electrically positive nucleus and the electrically negative cell membrane with it’s high unsaturated fatty acids. During cell division the cell and new daughter cell must contain enough electron rich fatty acids in the cells surface area to divide off completely from the old cell. When this process is interrupted the body begins to die. In essence, these commercially processed fats and oils are shutting down the electrical field of the cells allowing  chronic and terminal diseases to take hold of our bodies.

 

A very good example would be tumors. Dr Budwig noted that “The formation of tumors usually happens as follows. In those body areas which normally host many growth processes, such as in the skin and membranes, the glandular organs, for example, the liver and pancreas or the glands in the stomach and intestinal tract---it is here that the growth processes are brought to a stand still. Because the dipolarity is missing, due to the lack of electron rich highly unsaturated fat, the course of growth is disturbed---the surface-active fats are not present; the substance becomes inactive before the maturing and shedding process of the cells ever takes place, which results in the formation of tumors.” She pointed out that this can be reversed by providing the simple foods, cottage cheese and flax seed oil, which revises the stagnated growth processes. This naturally causes the tumor or tumors present to dissolve and the whole range of symptoms which indicate a “dead battery are cured.” Dr Budwig did not believe in the use of growth inhibiting treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. She was quoted as saying “I  flat declare that the usual hospital treatments today, in a case of tumorous growth, most certainly leads to worsening of the disease or a speedier death, and in healthy people, quickly causes cancer.” 

 

Dr Budwig discovered that when she combined Flaxseed oil, with its’ powerful healing nature of essential electron rich unsaturated fats, and cottage cheese, which is rich in sulfur protein, the chemical reaction  produced makes the oil water soluble and easily absorbed into the cell membrane. I found testimonials of people from around the world that had been diagnosed with terminal cancer (all types of cancer), sent home to die and were now actually cured and living healthy, normal lives. Not only had Dr Budwig been using her protocol for treating cancer in Europe, but she also treated other chronic diseases such as Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Irregular Heart Beat, Psoriasis, Eczema (other skin diseases), Immune Deficiency Syndromes (Multiple Sclerosis and other Auto Immune Diseases), Diabetes, Lungs (respiratory conditions), Stomach Ulcers, Liver, Prostate, Strokes, Brain Tumors, Brain (strengthens activity), Arteriosclerosis and other chronic diseases. Dr Budwig’s protocol proved successful where orthodox traditional medicine was failing.

 

Since Dr Budwig mentioned strengthening of the brain, I believe not only Multiple Sclerosis, but also ALS “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease could also be significantly impacted with her protocol. I also believe that this protocol could have the greatest impact early into the disease, and could very possibly reverse these diseases entirely. Dr Budwig states, “A Swede has proved that (no brain function) can take place at all without three fold unsaturated fats. Without any doubt, every function of the brain---and this has been scientifically proved---needs the very easy activation effect of three fold unsaturated fats. The same applies to nerve functions and for regeneration within the muscle after strenuous muscle activity, in the so called oxidative recovery phase during sleep. This process requires the highly unsaturated, particularly electron-rich fatty acids in flax seed oil. So, when I wish to help a very sick patient, I must first give the most optimal oil I have. My opinion is flax seed oil.”

 

Dr Budwig pointed out in her book that she often took very sick cancer patients from the hospital with only hours or a few days left to live and had very good results with her protocol, most of the time. I would assume some patients she worked with were too badly damaged by the Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments. She pointed out that in some of these patients she would start their therapy with an enema of 500CCs of an oil mixture and “that their subjective awareness of well being increased immediately.”  She pointed out that many could not urinate, produce bowel movements, or when coughing were unable to bring up the mucous, but once the protocol was initiated this started reactivation of the vital functions and the patients immediately began feeling better. The Budwig diet appears to allow cancer cells to start breathing again.  

 

Here are a couple of testimonials I found quite interesting and thought I would share with you. These testimonials were found in Cliff Beckwith’s web site http://www.whale.to/a/beckwith.html. Cliff’s story and his recovery from Stage IV Prostate Cancer using Budwig’s Protocol is also there along with other cancer testimonials including lung, colon, breast, ovarian, brain cancer and many more.

 

1. In a Christmas letter, Dec. 1993, we heard that a friend of ours in Wooster, Ohio, was having a bout with ovarian cancer. The blood test for that condition is GAC 125 and the normal is 35 or below. Her count was 75. Later I learned she'd visited my sister in September and was very apprehensive. She'd had about 4 rounds of chemo and couldn't take that. We sent information about Flaxseed oil in our Christmas letter.

Joanie is an RN and she and her husband had been missionaries in Sri Lanka. They bought the books and started using Flax oil. In February she was feeling fine. On May 12, 1994, she had a checkup and the count was 2 and she was praising the Lord. In October 1994 she had another physical and now the count was 1. Since then there's been no further indication of cancer.

 

 

2. We were asked by a friend to send a tape to his son whose wife was badly off with cancer. We have just learned that the daughter-in-law had cancer through her lymphatic system and her brain. She used 4 Tbsp. of oil a day and today the tests for cancer are normal. The doctors can't figure out what's happened and she is not saying anything. However, her husband, mother, father and sisters are all using Flax oil for prevention.

 

Here’s a testimonial for man’s best friend, and I’ve read where it works on cats to. 

 

3. Several weeks ago a man called us from South Bend, Indiana. He said, "You'll enjoy this. I have a 13 year old dog. He has cancer. His eyes were dull and he was so weak he couldn't lift his leg. I should have put him to sleep, but I didn't want to. I put 1 Tbsp. of Flax oil and a half cup of cottage cheese in his bowl and he wolfed it down. I did that three times a day for ten weeks. Today he's running all over the place, his eyes are bright, his coat is shiny and he's gaining weight." That was the 2nd dog I'd heard of in 3 days that showed improvement from using Flax oil. The other is owned by my cousin's daughter.

 

This second set of testimonials was taken from a FlaxSeedOil2 Chat group. The purpose of this group is for information and discussion of Dr. Johanna Budwig's Oil-Protein Diet and Protocol. FlaxSeedOil2 appears to be one of the best sources of reliable information on the Budwig Protocol in the English-speaking world.

1. From:  "Bill and Nancy Parsons" <huckink@poncacity.net>

Subject:  Re: [FlaxSeedOil2] mom dx with nsclc 8/03

 

Hello Elena,

I feel real good about my case and will very soon have tests

done that should give a definitive answer to how I am doing. I was diagnosed on Oct. 8, 2002 with a large breast cancer - "lobular infiltrating carcinoma". I began that same day on FO/CC. My cancer was very painful at first - in fact that is when I discovered it, was when the pain awakened me at 5:00 a.m. I started that same day eating FO/CC (Flax Oil/ low fat cottage cheese).   By the middle of November my pain was all gone and I have remained pain free. The tumor has shrunk dramatically, and my doctor was even amazed. On October 14, I will have a C.A.T. scan. I have already had a P.E.T. scan. The results of both of these scans will tell me the whole story.

With the P.E.T. scan, they injected into my veins sugar and radio-active-isotopes. The sugar goes to all spots in my body where there is any cancer, and will even show how large it is. It can be tracked by the radio active isotopes. I can still feel a small ridge and I have wondered if that is scar tissue (since it has been so long since I have felt any pain). Well, now when I get these results, I will know if it is still cancer or just scar tissue. I will post to this group whatever my results are.

 

I had no doubts about beginning on the FL/CC regimen, as my husband had

a very large and metastasized pancreatic cancer, in 1994.

He took many things in the alternative field, but NOTHING IN the medical field, (unless you want to consider his 3 weeks of IV treatments of Laetrile)

He also took FO/CC 3 times a day.

 

To his surgeon's astonishment, he was well in 5 months. After the surgery.  

the surgeon had told us that he would die and that he might live

3 to 6 months - 3 being most likely.

 

He had gotten ill at the end of December, 1993 and was in and out of the hospital until May 25, he had exploratory surgery and got the grim reports I reported above. But after we got home and got him on the juicing, he just began getting better. I was making fresh vegetable juice and giving him 12 ounces about every 2 hours. And we followed the diet scruprously - no meat, absolutely no pork, no sugar, no processed foods of any kind, etc. etc. and he just kept getting better.

 

Finally in November 1994, I wrote to the surgeon and ask him if he would schedule a CT scan for when we had an appointment on December 5, 1994.

He did that and when he came to give us the report, he was just shaking his head. He said "I don't know what to tell you folks, but there is no cancer in there. I even had the radiologist come back and study that with me and we can see nothing abnormal in there of any kind." So with that kind of encouragement, I felt confident to do basically the same thing. Except that in the meantime, I have learned a lot more about FO/CC and so I am going

mostly all the way with that. I guess you could say I have put all my eggs in that one basket. I know this is a long message and I am sorry. I hope it helps your mother.  My husband was 54 the year he got sick. He is still well and still with me today.

Hope this helps, Nan

 

2. There is a melanoma case in Dr. Budwig's book "Der Tod des Tumors" (The Death of the Tumor) p.85.

I will give a partial and lose translation of it and paraphrase the first paragraph:

 

A Mrs. Harriett had a malignant melanoma cut out of her thigh. About one and a half years later she had lymph node metastasis at her left temple, which was treated with radiation. Four months after that she had lymph node metastasis at her left neck which were also brought under control with radiation. Two months after that she had several skin metastasis over her body. That is when she came to Dr. Budwig, evidently on her own. What follows are excerpts of a letter from the woman's doctor to Dr. Budwig:  

 

"A patient of mine, Mrs. Harriett, has recently been treated by you..."  A detailed history with dates follows as outlined above without dates. "...After your treatment, all lymph nodes and skin metastasis were in remission. Also, all blood test indicators were normalized. I have never seen this happening with metastasized malignant melanoma. I would be extremely thankful if you could tell me which therapy you used. Since I have another patient with the same illness, I would be glad to send her to you so as to extend her life. On the other hand, I would naturally also gladly treat this patient here if you

would instruct me of the method you used."

 

The above information I found intriguing, but I still questioned why combining flax seed oil and cottage cheese together was the impact on the body so intensive? I believe I have found the reason and it’s mentioned below in several different excerpts from her book.

 

The following excerpt is from Dr Budwig’s book Flax Oil As A True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer And Other Diseases which was translated from German to English. This book is a must read for anyone trying to heal themselves from a terminal or chronic disease.

Dr Budwig states “What we need in Europe today, in Germany as well as in Switzerland, America, and France, what we really need are electron rich highly unsaturated fats. The moment two unsaturated double links occur together in a fatty acid chain, the effects are multiplied and in the highly unsaturated fats, the so called “linoleic” acids, there is generated a field of electrons, a veritable electrical charge which can be quickly conducted off into the body, thus causing a recharging of the living substance---especially of the brain and nerves. It is exactly those highly unsaturated fatty acids which play a decisive role in the respiratory functioning of the body. With out these fatty acids, the enzymes in the breath can not function and we asphyxiate, even when given extra oxygen, as for examples in hospitals. The lack of these highly unsaturated fatty acids paralyses many vital functions. Primarily, it cuts off the air we breath. We can not survive without air and food and we cannot survive without these fatty acids---that was proven long ago.”

 

Dr Budwig, in her book, brought up other areas of interest and how electron rich fats affect other vital functions of the body. I will mention them, but will not go into any detail, as one may purchase her books to learn much more than presented in this paper.

The lack of electron rich unsaturated fats affect;

 

Respiratory enzyme function- It is basically proven that highly unsaturated fatty acids are the undiscovered decisive factor in achieving the desired effect of cellular respiratory stimulation. 

All glands of the body

Brain Function- Including mental and spiritual

Scholastic performance of children

Function of the Heart- Proper firing of the heart

Marital infertility

Moral and behavior problems

Human sexual relationships

Cell division

Formation of tumors

Ingestion of wrong fats- Humans will eat six times their normal amount of food

 

Dr Budwig, in her book, also brought up the relationship between the Fats Syndrome, Electrons, Photons, and Solar Energy provided by the Sun.

She pointed out that the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy and an element of life that affects the vital functions of the body. This, in part, is due to the photons in sunlight which are the purest form of energy, the purest wave, and in continual movement. Dr Budwig states, “electrons are already a constituent of matter, even though they are also in continual movement and that electrons love photons, attracting each other due to their magnetic fields.  There is nothing else on earth with a higher concentration of photons of the sun’s energy than man. This concentration of the sun’s energy---very much an iso-energetic point for humans, with their eminently suitable wave lengths---is improved when we eat food which has electrons which in turn attract the electro-magnetic waves of sun beams, of photons. A high amount of these electrons which are on the wave length of the sun’s energy, are to be found, for example, in seed oils. Scientifically, these oils are even known as electron–rich essential highly unsaturated fats. But, when people began to treat fats to make them keep longer, no-one stopped to consider the consequences of this, for the existence and higher development of the human race. These vitally important amounts of electrons, with their continual movement and wonderful reaction of light were destroyed.”

 

Dr Budwig found when she treated patients and had them lie in the sun she noticed they started feeling much better and became rejuvenated. She referred to the sun as having a stimulating effect on the secretions of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, bladder and salivary glands. Dr Budwig also stated “Matter always has its own vibration, and so, of course, does the living body. The absorption of energy must correspond to one’s own wave length.” It appears apparently that sunlight is absolutely essential for the stimulation effect of the vital functions of the mind and body, contributing to the factors which allow the body to heal itself. Dr Budwig mentioned that doctors tell patients and cancer patients to avoid the sun as they can’t tolerate it and that is correct. She says once these patients start on her oil-protein nutritional advice for two or three days which means they have been getting sufficient amounts of essential fats, they can then tolerate the sun very well. She said the patients then tell her how much better they feel as their vitality and vigor is re-stimulated.

 

The last of the points mention by Dr Budwig and maybe the most important, is the electrons in our food serve as the resonance system for the sun’s energy and are truly the element of life. Man acts as an antenna for the sun. The interplay between the photons in the sunbeams and the electrons in the seed oils and our foods, governs all the vital functions of the body.   

 

This has to be one of the greatest discoveries ever made as this combination promotes healing in the body of chronic and terminal diseases. In her book Dr Budwig states “Various highly trained and educated individuals are dismayed and irritated by the fact that serious medical conditions can be cured by cottage cheese and flaxseed oil.”

 

The Budwig Protocol

 

One cup of organic, (one or two percent) low fat cottage cheese small curd if possible.

 

Three to six tablespoons of organic cold pressed Flax Oil.

 

Only use LIQUID Flax Oil from the refrigerated section of your health food store.  You MUST shake the bottle each time you use it.

 

NEVER use capsules, flakes or flax oil from the shelves (they cannot be made water soluble).

 

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 can not 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.

 

People with chronic or terminal diseases are using 4-6 tablespoons of the oil mixed into 1 cup of low fat cottage cheese. The one cup is best consumed throughout the day and not all at once. Some people are mixing only the amount they are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each and every time. I believe that would be best. One example would be to mix ½ cup cottage cheese with (2) tablespoons of flax oil twice daily. This could be consumed in the morning and again in the afternoon. Another example would be ¼ cup of cottage cheese mixed with 1 tablespoon of the oil eaten at four different times that day. The oil and the cottage cheese must be thoroughly mixed before eating it. A hand blender will work. This mixing of the oil and cottage cheese allows for the chemical reaction to take place between the sulfur protein in the cottage cheese and the oil, which makes the oil water soluble for easy absorbsion into your cells. After mixing you may want to let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before consuming.

 

If you are Lactose Intolerant you may want to try the following which I found in the FSO2 files: 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.

 

>> Try Nancy's Cottage Cheese which is made with lactic cultures.

For more details, including a store locator, go to this website:

http://www.nancysyogurt.com/contact/faq.php

 

>> Make yogurt quark (recipe under "Foods" in the files)

 

>> Make kefir quark (straining kefir to get a cream cheese consistency)

Get kefir grains, make kefir, remove grains, and strain through fine muslin cloth.

To learn more, do a Google search for "kefir" it will get you many hits.

FSO2 member Cheryl du Toit says this about kefir in message #29710:

"Kefir cottage cheese (or quark) is most certainly our solution for lactose

intolerant people. It works like a charm." 

 

In the case of a person with a feeding tube, which my friend David is presently using, kefir should be used instead of cottage cheese.  It is absolutely critical for a patient on a feeding tube to convert the omega 3 into being water soluble.

 

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 combined with the cottage cheese or yogurt by hand, you may then add organic fruit, such as bananas, strawberries, red raspberries or blueberries and blend 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, and all other foods with trans-fatty acids or other bad fats

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 cook book,  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. There are many testimonials in the files of the FSO2 group written by members who have regained their health by following this protocol after being diagnosed with cancer-many terminal. To see the files, click here.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FlaxSeedOil2/files/

For diet details see:  http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FlaxSeedOil2/message/33782  The following are some excerpts from the above message link.

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 2^nd 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 3^rd 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. A transitional diet can be found in the FSO2 files or in Dr Budwig’s book.

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 OVER DO 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.   

 

The following protocol on how Dr Budwig used Eldi Oil R was sent to me from Germany by Wolfgang Bloching. 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.

Wolfgang.Bloching@t-online.de

   

Dr. J. Budwig Eldi Oel R (Eldi Oil R): Application 

Two times a day, i.e. morning and evening, rub Eldi Oil R into the skin over the whole body, a bit more intensively on the shoulders (armpits), breast and groin (where the lymphatic vessels are) and also on the problem areas, like for instance the breast, stomach, liver, etc. Leave the oil on the skin for about 15-20 minutes. Then take a warm shower without soap. Then follow up with another shower, this time using a mild soap. Then rest for 15-20 minutes. The purpose of the shower, after the body has been oiled and the Eldi Oil has penetrated the skin, is that the warm water opens the pores so that the oil can penetrate a bit deeper into the skin. The second shower, this time with soap, is for skin surface cleaning so that clothes and linen will not become soiled too much.

 

Always use the Eldi Oil R in connection with the Oil-Protein Diet (Budwig Diet) and do this consistently, even if it seems difficult at times. The Oil-Protein Diet together with Eldi Oil is a helpful method to improve problems and illnesses long term. The Eldi Oils in small bottles with 95 ml content are all perfumed and contain, like Eldi Oil R, only highly unsaturated fatty acids, but they are too expensive to be used for the whole body. They are meant to be used this way for example:
Eldi Oel photo activ (photo active) only for the face.
Eldi Oel Rose for a woman’s body (rose oil).
Eldi Oel herb neu (tart new) for a man’s body (tart scent).
Eldi Oel H-activ (H-active) only for the breast region (heart) etc.

Eldi Oel balsamicum Salbei (balsamic sage) is only for oil packs.
Take pure cotton 100% or a cotton cloth. Cut these to size for the body part, for example the knee. Soak the cotton, place on the knee, cover the cotton with a plastic sheet and wrap it all with an elastic bandage. Leave it on for the night. Remove it in the morning and wash the knee. Repeat it in the evening and do this for weeks. You can also use Eldi Oil R for these local applications. The oil pack is only suited for local problems (no metastases).
