Wilhelm and All,
When talking about "getting off the Budwig diet" we can lose sight
from the central idea of why we are on the diet in the first place.
We tend to concentrate on the afliction we are experiencing and that
is normal. We may forget what the diet is intended to do. The
Budwig diet, Gerson therapy, any natural successful approach to
disease is not cancer, heart infraction, etc specific. They address
the compromised IMMUNE system that allowed the affliction in the
first place and the immune system addresses the disease. A
compromised immune system is in the majority of cases due to diet.
There is very little we can do about tumors, etc on our own but can
do everything about diet hence repair the immune system. The immune
system will then address anything "foreign" or harmful to the body
but if greatly impaired it cannot do what it was designed to do. For
ongoing good health and "curing" incurable diseases the immune system
must be restored and maintained. THAT IS THE GOAL.
How long does that take? Dr. Gerson felt that the liver was the
center of the immune system and on his greatly intensified therapy
from 2 to 3 years to rebuild the liver. Dr. Budwig, with no
specific comment that I know of, on her diet 5 years. Both
experienced the sad reality that some after starting the diets, have
felt good and returned to former eating habits and then the attempt
to resume the diets proved to be impossible. If as an example one
has a life threatening cancer, would start the diet and find after a
short while that cancer can no longer be found in the body does not
mean they are "out the woods" so to speak. There is reason to
rejoice because it is an indication the immune system can be
repaired. However it is only the start not a point for thinking of
straying from the diet. There are a few individuals with immune
systems so compromised that they cannot be saved even from the
start. That is a fact of life.
This is not new to any of us but meant as a reminder. We all have
to "count the cost" in life in anything we do. It is comforting to
know that the vast majority can take matters in their own hands,
rebuild their immune systems and heal diseases no matter how sick
they may be. It does take understanding what one must do and the
will to carry it to the end.
When thinking of "getting off the Budwig diet" or cheating think
immune system...immune system..immune system and what setbacks you
may do to it. We should do everything we can do to enhance the
immune system. This we can do. Also the question that begs to be
answered, why go back to a diet that brought on the problem?

I agree with your position on this.

I differ from that statement; According to what I have read you
must remain on the Budwig Diet for 5 yrs. (Short time to rebuild a
lifetime damage.) Yet, if we had to stay on it for life.. it should
not be such a hard thing to do.
Quote from cancer.org
"According to Dr. Budwig, you need to remain on this diet for a
good 5 years. If you break the rules of this diet, Dr Budwig reports,
(ie. eating preserved meats, candy, etc), the tumors will sometimes
grow rapidly worse."
