I read somewhere yesterday, that a small amount of alcholol (they
were referencing red wine) actually opened "ports" to allow better
assimulation of some nutrients. If I run into that study again, I
will post it. But I have read about the efficacy of doing so.

Hi Mike,
how very sad that Jose passed away. He seemed to be doing so well
with your help and the Budwig Diet. But as you said previously, he
was likely to be talked into taking chemo by the doctor whom he
trusted. Well, we all have to make our choices. Thank you for sharing
his story with us.
As to your next post on this topic, I don't know the exact purpose
for using champagne in the treatment of people with advanced cancer.
All I remember reading is that Dr.Budwig said in one of her books
that she had been criticised for giving champagne to sick people, but
that it had a "serious purpose". She didn't elaborate. I assumed it
had to do with stimulating appetite, but there is probably more to
it.
Regards,
Wilhelm
PS: Mir geht es gut, danke.
I hope you are well too.
HI Group (Wie gehts Wilhelm?),
I haven't posted in a while but I thought this may be of
interest. My
friend Jose passed away last Sunday most likely due to the
effects of
a chemo-regimen his doctor talked him to getting. The Dr. swore
this
was the ONLY way he would be able to travel to Spain to see his
family. A week later the "Dr." turned him over to Hospice and
went on
vacation! Prior to this Jose was 'holding his own'. As he lay in
bed,
he reminded me of "E.T"- bony chest and arms and a big swollen
belly-
the ascites (fluid) was terrible and his testacles looked like 2
pink
water balloons.
On Friday,I knew he was dying (he couldn't eat because of all
the
narcotics they were giving him), and I thought of Dr. Budwig's
proceedure using 8 oz. of FO, some raw honey and champagne
for "in
extremis" patients. So I bought a bottle of champagne (wondering
what
the hospice people would say)and talked the nurse into letting me
see
if he would take it. She got interested and we decided to give
him 2
oz. of oil, a little honey, and about 5 oz of champagne (just
stirred
it all up in a glass- a gross looking 2-layer concoction). He did
manage to keep it down and said it tasted good! (I think I would
mix
the oil and honey-let them sip it, then give a champagne chaser-
next
time though). I left for work and the nurse said she would repeat
it
before her shift was up and tell the next nurse to continue the
proceedure. I returned about midnight and found out the other
shifts
thought this was "nuts" and stopped giving it to him- put an IV
morphine line in his arm instead- at this point there were alot
of
his friends here and I didn't say anything-just accepted this was
the
end-he died early the next day-just as I got there by the way.
Anyway, a few days later I ran into a woman who used to be a
customer of mine when I was practising community pharmacy. She
was
helping to look after Jose (as part of a mediation group Jose
belonged to). She told me that about 2 hours after the
second "dose"
of the FO/Champagne, Jose voided 1100 ML of fluid! We both
thought 'what if' we could have continued with the treatment.
Once
again Dr. Budwig's brillance astounds me. You know most people
would
look at a person in Jose's condition and say 'he's a goner', yet
I
remembered the pictures of Civil War soldiers from Andersonville
or
the liberated prisoners of Auschwitz and they looked like that
(or
worse) yet many survived. The human body is truly a remarkable
creation and when given the right nutrition is capable of
remarkable
things. Poisons beget death-I wonder why this is such an alien
concept to "learned medical minds"- a second grader can tell you
that!
Jose had 7 months (instead of 3 weeks-that he was told in
January)
and I cherish the time we got to know each other. He was a
wonderful
man (over 200 people came to the 2 memorials that where held for
him
and his family)and I certainly learned alot: about life, medicine
and
Dr. Budwig. If I ever get another opportunity to help some one
with
this protocol, I will be a better "coach" thanks to my experience
with Jose.
Regards to all, Mike
