Hi Frances,
Flaxseeds are difficult for me to digest. ?Not sure if his body can still make enough enzymes for digestion? add pineapple and carrots. ?Also make sure he has enough sourCe of iron.

Good Morning,
What size servings is he doing? The protocol calls for 6/3 CC to FO, but when I started I did 8/4. I was 230 lbs at the time and I figured it wouldn't hurt to do more. Three servins @ 6/3 is not much more than two servings @ 8/4 so I don't think it is a problem of having too much of the "muesli" impeding progress. There could be a reaction to the amount of oil, unrelated to the protocol however. As far as the flax seeds, I think it better to add them than to not, but I don't believe the flax seeds are as critical as the oil. Is he following the diet and also drinking the sauerkraut juice? I would be supplementing vit D, even if getting regular sunshine.
All the best, Rod in MN/USA

Hi, Everyone!:
My husband, Phil has been on the Budwig diet for 4 years January 2020 start). During that time he's been doing the FOCC 3 times per day.? While reading Michael Bierschenk's new book on the Budwig diet, we realized that we're doing one FOCC too many. Could this cause a problem??
The reason for asking is that about a year ago he started experiencing some inflammation in the upper abdominal area as well as some intestinal discomfort which has slowly worsened over time. Concerned that it may be liver or pancreas related possibly caused by too much flax seed oil. Could this be an issue?
The reason for not just going ahead and dropping it out is that's a lot of calories to try to make up some other way. Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, he was only using flax seeds in 1 FOCC, as he claimed he couldn't deal with the grinder at work, where he has the other 2 FOCC servings (morning and lunch). He used hemp seeeds. A few months ago he finally agreed to the flax seeds and now has them with those 2 servings as well. Could this have slowed his progress? Again, thanks for any help!
Background: 12/31/19 he discovered lumps in his throat. His symptoms indicated to his ND that it's thyroid cancer. He managed 2 Navarro Clinic tests in 2021 with results in the low cancer range (a little above 50 Int. Units). He's 64 yo.?
