My wife completed chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer in
October last year.The oncologists discouraged the use
of any supplements during the treatment, so she was
only able to commence the FO/CC regimen in January.
We mix 90 mls of Flaxseed Oil with 180 mls of Cottage
Cheese each morning and she consumes this in three
portions at mealtimes ( 3 times per day).
Her CA125 tumour marker is now down to 10 - it has
been falling every month since January.The oncologists
are thrilled with her condition and are aware of the
FO/CC she is taking.
However, as a tumour marker of 10 is very near the
lower end of the scale(the oncologist said it will not
go into negative territory), I wondered whether her
intake of FO/CC could now be reduced.I cannot recall
Dr.Budwig specifically indicating a maintenance dosage
for patients in remission.
Have any members any information in this regard or
could anyone point me to the correct page in
Dr.Budwig's books for guidance.

Secondly, I am led to believe from an article related
to Osteoporosis that Cottage Cheese is not really a
good choice.See insert below:

"The effect of dairy products on the risk of
osteoporosis-related fractures is subject to
controversy. According to a review of 46 studies,36
different dairy products appear to have different
effects on bone density and fracture rates. Milk,
especially nonfat milk, probably does more good than
harm because of its relatively lower protein and salt
content, as well as its higher level of calcium.
Cottage cheese and American cheese, on the other hand,
probably do more harm than good. Cottage cheese is
high in protein and salt but low in calcium, factors
which could contribute to bone loss. American cheese
is extremely high in salt and high in protein. These
foods are not recommended as calcium sources for the
prevention of osteoporotic fractures. Although there
may be better ways of getting calcium, younger women
who wish to prevent osteoporosis might consider nonfat
milk and nonfat yogurt to be reasonable dietary
calcium sources".

Having abandoned HRT therapy since be diagnosed with
Cancer, she now needs to take care of the threat of
Osteoporosis developing.As she also needs to continue
the FO/CC regimen it seems she will have to switch to
a youghurt/flaxseedoil mixture, in order to overcome
the problems indicated above.
I require some clarity on the mix of Youghurt/Flaxseed
Oil to enable her to win on both health issues.My
understanding is that instead of 2:1 it now goes upto
3:1 Youghurt/Flaxseed Oil.Is this correct?

As an off topic issue, if any members have advice on
supplemental foods / vitamins that should be taken for
osteoporosis that will not counteract the FO regimen I
will appreciate their input, either privately or on
this list if acceptable to all members.
