Hi Leonard,
In your reply to Darla, you mentioned almonds being excellent.Is this because they are a natural form of omega-6's? I guess what I am asking is: Do you feel the omega-6's are okay in the nuts but not in the oils, such as sunflower and safflower?
Thanks for your time. I enjoy reading your responses.
Mary

Hi Darla,
I'm not an expert on Dr. Budwig's diet. My answers are based mainly on the
guidelines of other cancer-healing diets.
From: d_lallatin <d_lallatin@...>
I am 33 years old young Mother, battling breast cancer alternatively.
I have been doing a lot of research and I am impressed with what I
have read about Johanna Budwigs protocol. I started using the flax
and cottage cheese/yogurt 2 weeks ago, but I have some questions.
The first is what exactly are the restrictions to her diet. I am
vegetarian but occasionaly I eat free range eggs
I think eating free-range eggs occasionally is ok, but it's much better if
they're organic, preferably Omega 3.
small amounts of cheese
It's best if it's organic, skim, cultured (i.e., cottage cheese), and
unprocessed.
fish.
As long as it's not too polluted and as long as it's not farm-raised. Alaskan
salmon's best.
What about goat milk and goat chesse?
They're much better than cow dairy. It's important that they be organic and
preferably skim and ideally cultured (e.g., buttermilk).
I am confused by no animal products but she talks
about milk, yogurt, cottage cheese.
The benefits of flaxseed oil mixed w/cottage cheese (FSO/CC) or yogurt FAR
outweigh the harmful aspects of dairy.
do I need to eliminate extra-virgin olive
I don't think so. Omega 9 oils (olive & avocado) are relatively (if not
completely) benign and they're safe for low-to-medium-temperature cooking.
safflower, sunflower and grapeseed oils also
Omega 6 (polyunsatured), which includes the above and most all other oils, much
be STRICTLY avoided. Peanut oil's somewhere in the middle (i.e., mediocre). If
you do very-high-temperature cooking (which I don't recommend), use only COCONUT
or palm oil (or organic animal fat as a last resort).
100% pure peanut butter
best to avoid it. Raw almond butter's excellent though (pumpkin seed butter's
also good).
nuts?
I'd avoid peanuts. The rest are acceptable, but I'd try to consume only raw
almonds (excellent), walnuts, and coconuts.
Should I be using small amounts of the other omega oils?
Omega 9 (olive, avocado)'s ok but not necessary. High-quality, unheated,
nonpolluted fish oil's cancer-healing. It's best to avoid just about all other
cooking oils. GLA (in borage oil) and shark liver oil are quite cancer-healing.
Leonard
