Darla,
The first is what exactly are the restrictions to her diet. <
The main restrictions are:
Foods -
Hydrogenated fats and oils, animal fats, chemicals and preservatives
(such as nitrite), sugar, white flour and processed foods in general.
Non foods -
Chemo therapy and radiation are strongly opposed by Dr.Budwig.
I am vegetarian but occasionally I eat free range eggs... <
Eggs yolks are high in animal fat. I would restrict eating yolks until I
am much better. Egg whites are low in fat.
...small amounts of cheese and fish. Are any of these not allowed? <
Small amounts of cheese are permitted but watch how much fat is in the
cheese and whether you can get it organic. Fish is not mentioned as part
of the Budwig diet. However I doubt that it would be a problem if you
can get good fresh fish with very low heavy metal contamination.
What about goat milk and goat chesse? <
I don't recall Dr.Budwig mentioning goat milk as part of her diet.
However, I don't see why. The sulphurated proteins are similar to cow
milk. Perhaps it is because it is difficult to get low fat goat milk.
I am confused by no animal products but she talks about milk, yogurt,
cottage cheese. <
I agree with Leonard's reply to this: "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, ... <
Olive oil is not mentioned as part of the Budwig diet. Coconut oil is.
... safflower, sunflower and grapeseed oils also? <
I agree with Leonard's reply.
What about 100% pure peanut butter and nuts? <
Peanut butter should be avoided. Most other nuts are ok (I don't know of
any other restrictions), but eat them raw.
Should I be using small amounts of the other omega oils? <
None that are processed, cleaned heated or partially hydrogenated. They
contain trans-fatty acids. That takes care of many (or most?) of the
oils you buy in supermarkets. Buy them cold pressed and organic and use
them sparingly. You can easily get your omega 3 to 6 'balance' or
relationship too much towards the omega 6 side which is the case with
most people who eat the usual western diet. Beware of store bought salad
oils and dressings.
Is it normal to have some bloating and extra fullness when beginning?
<
I don't know. It didn't happen to me.
What are the best books of hers to get, and where is the best place to
get them..Amazon? <
There are only two books of hers in English. I recommend to get both. I
understand that Barleans is the cheapest place to get them.
Do the majority of you think that Barlaens is the best oil? <
Barleans is a good oil. Many say so. I use Spectrum. It is good too.
Is 1 Tablespoon for every 25 pound body weight accurate, and how much
flax meal do you really
need to use daily? <
That is fairly accurate. Since this is food, I don't see this as a
precise science. Being in the right ballpark is about all we can do. The
usual measure we us is 1 tblsp FSO per 100 lbs of body weight for
maintenance. If you fight cancer add at least 2 additional tblsp.
Example: A person weighing 200 lbs and fighting cancer would take 4
tblsp of FSO with the requisite amount of low fat quark or cottage
cheese.
And last how long does one normally wait to see good results if they
follow her protocol strictly.. ( I am looking
ultimately for my breast lumps/tumors to be gone) I keep hearing 3-4
months does that sound like the norm? <
I don't know if there is a norm. I have heard of cancer cases that were
healed in 3 to 4 months using the Budwig approach, but they were not
breast cancer cases. Everyone is different and cancers are different so
it is hard to say. I believe it is important to follow the diet strictly
until for best results as you intend to do.
I will re-post some breast cancer testimonials for your information
right after this.
Best to you and good health, Wilhelm

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.
