Budwig Diet

I have collected info about the Budwig Diet and post it here for easy reference


The Medicine

Dr. Johanna Budwig recommended the following meal, once a week for people of good health, as a cancer preventative. It was required for cancer patients as part of her protocol, wherein it was consumed at least once a day, although twice was preferred. This nutritional therapy is called the "Flax Seed Muesli", and it can be blended into a smoothie. Since genuine quark cheese is not available in most countries, see our later recommendations for alternatives to quark cheese.

1. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of freshly ground flax seeds to a bowl. Make certain to only use flax seeds that have been freshly ground.
2. Next, add a mixture of fresh organic fruits (any fruits that are in season, such as apples, berries, peaches, grapes etc.) Never use bananas, because Dr. Budwig felt that bananas quickly push the blood sugar level high in cancer patients.
3. Take 3 tablespoons of flax seed oil and mix it with 100 grams (about 7 tablespoons) of quark. Add about 3 tablespoons of un-homogenized ("creamline") milk to create a smooth mixture. It is best to blend it, in order to get it mixed most thoroughly. More flax seed oil may be used, depending upon personal taste, but if the quark does not fully absorb the oil, then more has been used than is needed. Add the resultant mixture to the bowl.
4. You may optionally improve the flavor by adding vanilla or cinnamon. The latter will help to regulate blood sugar.
5. Add some organic nuts on top. All organic nuts are fine, but peanuts are the least helpful.

Optional

• little garlic
• little cayenne pepper
• champagne (for the worst cases -- always given in the first couple of days)

In addition to this, Dr. Budwig incorporated flax seed oil or freshly ground flax seeds into her patients' diets every three hours. She often gave them Linomel. This is only available in Germany, but it is simply a combination of ground flax seeds and honey. She recommended 2 tablespoons of Linomel every three hours during the day, in addition to the muesli once or twice daily. Those who are seeking to grind flax seeds may use a coffee grinder to do so.
Those who do not have cancer, and are merely concerned with routine health maintenance, can simply combine 3 to 4 grams of flax seed oil with roughly 3 fluid ounces of sulfur proteins (e.g. quark, goat cheese, etc.), and consume this daily.
A cancer patient should not be concerned about getting too much flax. Dr. Budwig regularly created foods using flax seeds, but readers should beware of the flax that is used in modern foods. Flax should never be cooked, and it should not be stored after it has been ground, because its otherwise beneficial oils become rancid easily. This means that the flax found in retail foods is virtually always harmful, and it worsens cancers. The companies that are selling it as a healthy ingredient must know this.
The Official Budwig Diet

• SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly-squeezed juices.
• Avoid pure animal fats, such as lard, fatback, dripping, etc.
• No commercial salad dressings or toppings.
• No commercial mayonnaise (bastardized, radioactive, genetically engineered, corn, canola and soy oils).
• No meats unless organic and preferably range fed.
• No butter, and especially no margarine or other artificial butters.
• Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are encouraged, especially carrot, celery, apple, and red beet. All-natural juice drinks are fine, with special preference to completely organic drinks.
• Three times daily a warm tea is essential. Good choices are peppermint, rose hips, or grape tea. Sweeten it only with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine.
• Avoid all artificial sweeteners (including high-fructose corn syrup).
• Entirely chemical-free diet.
• Avoid all processed foods.
• Avoid all soft drinks.
• Avoid tap water and bottled water, and use products free of fluoride.
• Eat all foods freshly prepared -- no reheating and no leftovers.
• Never use fish oil.
• Coconut oil is a source of omega-3 that is beneficial, and it was recommended by Dr. Budwig.

Our Suggestions

• Most patients will need to use an alternative to quark cheese, because it is unattainable in most areas. Non-homogenized yogurt is an acceptable option, and it is available in health food stores. Goat milk cheese is a better alternative. Most yogurt, cottage cheese, and other soft cheese products are less desirable alternatives, for they are made from homogenized milk. Such products should be assumed to be homogenized unless labels clearly state otherwise. They should only be used if goat cheese and non-homogenized yogurt are not available, or if they are unaffordable. It is important to supplement with vitamin C and folate if homogenized dairy products are used, in order to protect against inflammation and potentially irreversible arterial damage. The supplements do not provide complete protection against homogenized products, but they are quite helpful.
• The flax seed (linseed) oil used in the protocol should be protected from air, heat, and light to prevent it from becoming harmfully rancid. It should always be cold pressed and preferably organic. Keep it refrigerated and sealed. Do not purchase flax seed oil in bottles unless each bottle will be used within 1 day after being opened. Discard opened bottles after 24 hours. If the oil develops any sort of rancid (fishy) smell before then, it should also be discarded. Unopened flax seed oil should be stored in a cold, dark place to prevent toxic breakdown. Those using the Budwig Protocol for routine health maintenance will use smaller amounts. They should instead purchase dark, light-resistant capsules of flax seed oil, puncture the capsules with a needle just before use, and squeeze out the oil. Avoid flax that is present in pre-made foods, such as flax cereals, flax flour, or flax-containing granola, because such flax is a rancid carcinogen from heat and processing. These precautions are necessary because of how reactive flax seed oil is with oxygen. There is breakdown of flax seed oil within 15 minutes of it being exposed to heat, air, and light.
• Avoid non-flax sources of omega-3, except for baked fish and eggs. Avoid fried fish.
• Dr. Budwig never endorsed or used low-fat products, as many websites are now falsely claiming. Man-made and man-altered fats are the problem, and beneficial fats are part of the Budwig solution.
• We suggest either spring water or water filtered through a Berkey water filter that includes the optional fluoride filters. Avoid tap water.
• Green tea with honey and lemon juice. A pinch of cayenne may be helpful too.
• No microwaving food.
• Avoid hydrogenated oils.
• Attempt to wean off of all pharmaceuticals.
• Supplement with chlorophyll.
• Drink the Green Drink regularly to ensure proper nutrition. Recipe below *1
• Eat an alkalizing diet. *2
• Take a large dose of vitamin C daily. Do not take more than 5 grams per day, because massive doses will cause kidney stress. More than two grams could be problematic for patients with kidney or liver cancers.
• Avoid sunscreens, cosmetics, and the toxic lotions that are found at regular retailers.
• At least once a day, we suggest a lemon and pineapple drink, because of its ability to improve body pH rapidly. *3
• Avoid white bread, white rice, white sugar, white flour, and anything else that is a simple starch, over processed, or bleached with chlorine compounds.
• Avoid table salt and use a high quality sea salt or Himalaya Salt from a health food store.
• Delay detoxifying whenever a person is severely ill or unstable.
• Delay detoxifying if it is liver or kidney cancer.
• Get a water filter for shower water with the priority of getting all chlorine removed.
• Do not use tap water in a vaporizer, because it will release chlorine gas.
• Find safer alternatives to common soaps, bleaches, and detergents.
• Eliminate candida, which should already happen with the Budwig Protocol.
• Avoid all vaccines.
• Avoid your doctor. Seriously. This could be the most important rule if you want to live.
• Avoid soy products and canola oil.
• Use iodine transdermally, but beware of povidone iodine. If a pill form is necessary, then supplement only with red marine algae capsules. Do not use any other type of oral supplementation for iodine.
• For deathly ill patients, see a specialist, such as a naturopathic doctor (N.D.) who can provide IV's, including safe hydrogen peroxide if necessary.
• Use vitamin B-17 for bad cases, but avoid for people with impaired livers.

1* Green Drink
This turbo-charged drink seems to do miraculous things within 8 to 12 hours, including improving eyesight, and the results can last for days. People with fast metabolisms may feel the results within a couple of hours.
It is strongly recommended that organic fruits and vegetables be used to make this drink, for organic really does make a tremendous difference in improved taste and potency. It is an acquired taste, which is difficult to describe. However, the taste is far from bad, and the effects of this drink make it so worth acquiring its taste. This drink is so nutritious, in the extreme, that it has been known to suppress hunger for as much as 24 hours. Having a large glass of this stuff every 2-3 days keeps us healthy, energized, and feeling great. Armor yourself with this drink during the flu season, and we promise that you will have no regrets.
A juicer is required to properly extract this drink. Before being placed in the juicer, the vegetables are blended on a liquefy setting with water inside a blender. After that, all the ingredients can be poured into the juicer for finishing. The drink is technically healthier when the juicer part is skipped, so that it retains all of its fibrous pulp. It is a matter of weighing all the taste and nutritional considerations. Everyone finds the drink tastier when it has been thoroughly chilled.
If the drink tastes terrible, then it probably indicates that your body is acidic. Try decreasing simple carbohydrates, processed foods, sweets, red meats, and drinking only pure pineapple juice for about 12 hours, and then taste it again. You could easily find yourself shocked at the difference in taste. If this test works on you, then you should begin learning about how to adjust your acidic body pH, before serious health problems occur.
Some people cannot drink this formulation, due to an aversion to the taste of celery. It is okay to remove it; but of course, the benefits of this secret weapon will be lessened.
Please note that if you make it organic, then you will only have about 48 hours to consume it before it starts becoming rotten. Keep it refrigerated during that time, or drink it immediately. You should label its creation date, and religiously trash it after 2 days. If you dare drink this stuff three or more days after its creation, then it is going to really ruin your day. This is because bacteria find this drink to be just as nutritious and stimulating. You should immediately clean the juicer and blender too, in order to avoid mould and fungus.
Do not store the green drink in an air-tight container, because if it is not able to release its gasses, then it will become putrid rapidly.


*3 Lemon and Pineapple drink


There is a link between body pH and many diseases. Health conscious people often attempt to maintain a higher than normal body pH (alkaline). Those eating a healthy diet will naturally become alkaline from their diets, but it is very easy to become acidic from a relapse of processed foods. Soft drinks have a pH of around 2.5, and the effects upon pH are dramatic. It is always much easier to become acidic than to become alkaline. However, there are methods to dramatically speed up the process of becoming alkaline.
Acidic fruits often have an alkalizing effect upon the body. It is important to remember that the initial acidity of a food is not important in regard to its alkalizing effect. It is actually the minerals that matter, not the food's initial acidity. Ironically, the most acidic fruits tend to have a mineral composition that causes the human body to become more alkaline when they are metabolized.
Lemon juice and pineapple juice are extremely useful for helping a person to quickly regain some balance. If these are drank regularly, then we guarantee that you will feel the difference.
Some people choose to drink homemade lemonade everyday throughout the winter, in order to prevent the illnesses which are common in winter. Along with alkalizing and thereby making it difficult for pathogens to live, lemons contain vitamin C and potassium. When the body is alkaline, the oxygenation of the blood is increased, which provides extra energy and health improvements.
To make homemade lemonade, squeeze the juice from two small lemons into a 16 ounce glass, and add two teaspoons of evaporated cane juice (or honey) and water (preferably spring or well water). Do not use carbonated water, for it has an acidifying effect on the body.
We generally combine the lemon juice with pineapple juice. This yields the benefits of both, and it removes the need for a sweetening agent. The product of the two is better than either juice alone. It tends to have a nice sweet-sour taste that is unique, and remarkably delightful.
