Hi Anna
Have you read our files, specifically the first file under "Budwig Diet" called "Flax oil - cottage cheese mixture"? You will find that general quantities are given there as per Dr.Budwig's suggestions. So far as I know, Dr.Budwig did not say exactly how much FO to take in a day and I think that we should not suggest it to anyone either. Requirements vary from person to person for many reasons. This is food, not a prescription drug where precise amounts are required. General quantities should suffice and some variation from day to day would be quite normal IMO. When I asked one of Dr.Budwig's patients how much FO he was taking a day, he could not answer the question without first mentally adding up the FO component in the various foods of the day and then giving me an approximate figure.
From one of your earlier posts I see that you are taking 6 tblsp ground flaxseed (flaxmeal) and 3 to 4 tblsp FO. That sounds about right to me except that you need to mix the FO with low fat CC as Dr.Budwig said, not with beet juice. Now you say you are taking 3 tblsp ground flaxseeds and that it is not a problem for you. Dr.Budwig had her patients take 5 tbslp Linomel a day as you can see in the file referred to above.
The information that you need 450 g fo/cc does not add up. I don't know how you figured it all in terms of weight. We usually use quantity measurements. Let's convert what you are taking to weight in approximate terms:
4 tblsp FO = 37 g
8 tblsp CC = 133 g
3 tblsp milk = 45 g (for thinning)
Total fo/cc = 215 g (not counting any fruit, nuts or other ingredients that you may be adding)
That comes to 215 g for 4 tblsp FO - not 450 g as you mentioned. Furthermore, you would likely split 4 tblsp FO into two meals like 3+1 or 2+2. The Muesli breakfast according to Dr.Budwig contains 3 tblsp FO and 2 tblsp Linomel. Any more FO and ground flaxseed would be consumed later.
You mention flaxseed meal. That has the ring of a commercial pre-ground product. Be careful with that. Dr.Budwig recommends only Linomel or freshly ground flaxeeds.

Hi everyone,I have asked for some help in how much I
need to eat of the fo/cc, but I have had no response.
I hope you are getting the message. My ISP has not
indicated a problem in delivering the mail. I am of a
small stature (46kg) and from the information I have I
need to eat 450gr. of fo/cc plus the flaxmeal 3tbsp.
of a day. The flaxmeal is not a problem, but I find
the 450gr. of fo/cc a bit much. Can this be adjusted
according to the persons body weight or is this diet
for active cancer the formula for everyone? Hope to
hear from you soon.Anna
