Hi Lindsley,

If you like it fresh, you can mill buckwheat groats into flour by a regular blender. It is very easy. When I was in Germany, the community's bakery always mill the grains and seeds right before they start to make bread. They believe nutrition will lose if the material is milled for quite a while. I don't know whether that is due to oxidation.

Your muffin sounds delicious. I will certainly try it.?
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Rahel,
? Let me respond to your questions the best I can. I do not soak the buckwheat. You probably already know that it is a seed, not a grain. It is recommended by Dr. Johanna Budwig which is why I looked into using it. I guess I am not concerned about the physic acid in it. Maybe I should be. This is what I learned from Dr. Weil about phytic acid. It is not all bad. In fact...."You also should be aware that phytates themselves have some health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects. In laboratory research, phytates have helped normalize cell growth and stopped the proliferation of cancer cells. They also may help prevent cardiovascular disease and lower a food¡¯s?."

? ? I use the buckwheat cereal from Bob's Red Mill, the Buckwheat Whole Groats from Bob's Red Mill and the ground buckwheat flour from the same source.? I am purchasing the applesauce, unsweetened. And I am not soaking the walnuts. The cranberries I buy are organic, frozen.?Sesame seed we use?untoasted.

I hope this helps. Best to you and your own continued success,?Rahel.

Shalom Lindsley,

I am really delighted to hear that buckwheat in?these muffins, and in the other foods that you have described, are helping your husband to overcome cachexia.? This is a serious issue, without many solutions.? So this one is very helpful.

Questions:

cooked buckwheat cereal = whole buckwheat "groats" (grains)? ?Before using them, do you soak these to release the phytates??

I suppose that YOU cook them?? How much water?? Do ?you use it as a gruel/porridge, or are they separate grains (no extra water)? ?Wait, I just saw your other post in which you mention?Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand?Buckwheat Cereal ?(1 cup water,?1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)).? For those of us without access to Bob's Red Mill brand, What is the difference between this cereal and buckwheat groats?



buckwheat flour = do you grind the buckwheat yourself or purchase the flour?? Have you thought about soaking the flour in the water from the cooked buckwheat before baking?


applesauce, no sugar = do you prepare the apple sauce yourself? ?with or without the peel?


banana, mashed = no questions!


organic walnuts = do you soak these, and perhaps dehydrate them, before using them in the muffins?


cup cranberries = are these FRESH cranberries, or dried, sometimes called craisins ?? Note that often, dried cranberries are?

sweetened - though sometimes you can get them sweetened with concentrated apple juice rather than with straight sugar.


cup sesame seed = whole sesame seeds? ?toasted or not?


thanks for the idea, and your answers, and wishing you continued success!

Hi Frank,
? ? Here are a few recipes to get you started.

All recipes are for 2 people.


Buckwheat Cereal


1 cup water

1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)?

We use Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand


Bring water to boil. Add the dry buckwheat cereal. Stir and boil for 1 minute. Then cover and turn off heat. The cereal will absorb the water in about 10 minutes.?

Meanwhile, grate one oz. of ginger root. Finely chop 1/4 cup organic walnuts. Measure out 1/2 cup of applesauce.?

Optional addition: 1/4 organic cranberries, finely chopped.?

When the cereal has absorbed the water heat it again slightly for a minute. Then add in the ginger, walnut, applesauce, and cranberries and serve.



To the standard Budwig Protocol,?

alternate pineapple, strawberry, honeydew melon, blueberry, banana.

Remember you can mix in a bit of organic raw honey while you eat the FO Cream.



Sweet Potato Soup


1 Sweet potato, in cubes or slices

1 cup of water to start


Boil water. Add in sweet potato, oregano, finely chopped garlic. Turn down heat (very low) and simmer the potato for 15 minutes. Check to see if it has softened. May need more water. Cook 5 minutes more if needed.


Use a potato masher and mash to give the soup a creamy quality.? Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top with cilantro.


Variation#1 : Add in carrot, leek, or fennel.

Variation #2: Use some fingerling potato (the red or purple ones) with the sweet potato. Add in 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Top with one or two oz.grated raw sharp cheddar




Black Beans and Wild Rice (A Complete Protein)


Purchase dry black beans in health food store. I get mine from the bins at Sprouts Market. They are very reasonable! Soak the 1/4 cup beans in 1 cup of water for 8 hours. Or heat the water, add in the beans, bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and soak for one hour.? Then rinse the beans in a fine mesh colander.?

Return to pot and add another cup of water. Cook on low heat for about an hour. Check in on them and if they need more water, add from time to time.


Wild and Long Grain Brown Rice


1/2 cup rice mixture

1 cup water


Boil water. Add in rice. Cook on low heat for 45 minutes.

Mix the cooked black beans above into the rice.?


Variation #1: Add in some sweet potato, cauliflower. Just cut up in fine pieces. Add in when the rice is half way cooked.


Variation #2: Add in chopped broccoli, grated ginger, sesame seed, red pepper when rice mixture is half way cooked.


Variation #3: Add in walnut and pomegranate seeds at the end of cooking.


Buckwheat Salad


Lightly cook 1/4 cup whole buckwheat groats in pan- no oil. Just two to three minutes. Then add in 1 cup water. Cook on very low for 20 minutes. You may choose to add in a bit of applesauce to flavor.

Add in your choice of leafy greens, walnuts or pistachios, cranberries or pomegranate, finely sliced carrot, radish, raw zucchini, cucumber.


Enjoy!



I will post more from time to time, ones that seem to be hits in this household.?

Hi Bob,?

We don't do quite the whole protocol as recommended in this group. WE don't do the sauerkraut juice. We still eat organic fish or chicken 5 dinners out of 7. The rest of our meals are vegetarian, however, and organic to the extent possible, and we never eat beef, pork, lamb, etc.

I supplement Budwig with Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), Turmeric with Piperine, and Vitamin D3.

The dosages of bicalutamide and dutasteride were not recommended by my urologist, but were determined by a research study I found and then proposed to my urologist. Here's the study:?

The urologist wanted to do Lupron combined with finasteride, but I would not accept the likely side effects of this combination, and insisted on the therapy I preferred. I kept my plans to use the Budwig diet to myself, since I didn't think the urologist would appreciate that choice. ?It's now been 5 years since my diagnosis with non-metastatic Gleason 8 disease, and my PSA is lower than it has ever been since I first began testing it in 2008.

I'm 78 now and am looking forward to eventually being cancer-free.

Best,

Hi everyone,

Last time I updated here was on June 16, 2017. Since then I've had further progress using my combined therapy of Budwig, bicalutamide, and dutasteride. Here is my updated tracking of PSA test results:

2/3/17 -- 27.96
3/3/17 -- 17.72
4/03/17 -- 4.67
5/03/17 -- 3.11
6/05/17 -- 2.60
7/03/17 -- 2.15
8/02/17 -- ?1.84
9/06/17 -- ?1.75

So, you can see that the decline in my PSA is decelerating. From my reading, I've gotten the notion that PSA under bicalutamide hormonal therapy stabilizes around 2.00. So, I am a bit below that, but not enough to suggest that the Budwig protocol has had additional impact beyond the expected.

However, even though the decline recently has slowed it hasn't stopped, but was at 5% last time around. So, the decline may continue or more importantly, the Budwig effect could manifest itself in a long term stabilization over a few years. I'll see.

Whether or not that happens, I think it likely that my PSA may begin to rise again since experiments with bicalutamide indicate that after an undetermined period of time the hormonal therapy actually begins to work with the cancer. At that point, I'll face a decision about what to do.

My thinking now is that I will go with the Budwig protocol supplemented by turmeric, MCP, and the White Mushroom Powder Julian was kind enough to tell us about recently. That may be effective because the combined therapy I'm using now may actually be hindering the favorable impact of Budwig.

I'll make that move quickly once I'm sure the PSA is no longer stable, so that I have lots of time to evaluate Budwig plus alone. with no allopathic remedies clouding the issue of effectiveness.

So that's it. A good update with optimism for the future and a backup plan if the PSA starts rising again. In addition, I'll have another MRI in the not too distant future, to check out if there's any visible cancer either in or outside the prostate, since I think it is just possible that my cancer may already have been cured and that the remaining PSA level above undetectable is due to BPH and not to prostate cancer.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this update? I would greatly value your ideas.

Best to all,


Joe Firestone

Hi Tom,

No one recommended the therapy. I picked it up from this article:
Casodex or bicalutamide is a well-known hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. It blocks the testosterone receptors on cells, but not the testosterone. The likelihood of many side effects is much less from Casodex than from Lupron Depot the favorite recommendation Doctors here in the US. I've read somewhere that Casodex is favored in Europe. Here's a very good wikipedia article on it (note the citations in it):

Casodex alone however, is not sufficient to block testosterone generated by the adrenal gland, so if you take it alone, you'll still be feeding the cancer. Dustasteride is a good supplement to Casodex for blocking testerone generated from the adrenal gland, because, unlike finasteride, another preferred therapy, it is more effective in doing that. Here's wikipedia on the comparison ;

"Dutasteride belongs to a class of drugs called , which block the action of the that convert testosterone into DHT. It is an of all three of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð, , , and . This is in contrast to finasteride, which is similarly an irreversible inhibitor of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð but only inhibits the type II and III . As a result of this difference, dutasteride is able to achieve a reduction in circulating DHT levels of as much as 98%, whereas finasteride is only able to achieve a reduction of 65 to 70%. In spite of the differential reduction in circulating DHT levels, the two drugs decrease levels of DHT to a similar extent of approximately 85 to 90% in the ,where the type II isoform of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð predominates."

More generally, there is a lot of research on dustasteride as you'll see from the wikipedia reference. It's normally prescribed for BPH.

Anyway, I had fight to get the combination of the two drugs prescribed for me. I did not tell my doctors that I would be doing Budwig ?at the same time, but my expectation was and still is that Budwig would shield me somewhat from the likely severity of some of the side effects.?

The Casodex/Dustasteride/Budwig therapy is my way of moving down the road toward an eventual cure for the cancer. I expect Casodex/Dustateride to fail me before too long, and see Budwig as more long-term treatment. I hope all three can get me down the road another 4 - 5 years or for good in the case of Budwig.
If it's not for good, then I have in mind various focal ablation techniques more or less on the horizon that may be available from Kaiser over the next 4-5 years. Here's a quote from a memo I wrote to my Kaiser doctors on this

We are living in a period of rapid development of other medical techniques and therapies that will have minimal side effects and that are likely to be available to Kaiser patients during the next few years. These include :
?
¡°Focal ablation of prostate cancer is an evolving treatment strategy that destroys a predefined region (or target) of the prostate that harbors the clinically significant cancer. A number of energy sources have been investigated for focal ablation of the prostate, including cryotherapy,13 high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU),14 photodynamic therapy,15 and laser ablation.16¡±
?
In addition, there is photodynamic therapy using activating light sensitive drugs previously injected.

So, that's it. I hope it's of interest to you and others. But I can't recommend it, of course, because it's just a personal strategy for coping with PC and living as long as I can.

Hello Sandra and Everyone,

Perhaps it's time for update. As I've said in previous emails my wife, Bonnie, and I began the Budwig diet on February 15 of this year. Bonnie is a breast cancer survivor, who received surgery and chemo therapy and has now been clear for roughly four years. She decided to begin Budwig for preventive reasons and to make things easier for me.

I received a diagnosis of non-metastatic Gleason 8 prostate cancer just short of 5 years ago and decided then to continue taking finasteride for BPH and using supplements and dietary changes to hold back my cancer. Last fall my PSA began to spike and after it reached 27.96, I decided to make a change and begin the Budwig protocol. I also decided to also use bicalutamide (Casodex), and dutasteride (Avodart), as well, and began those drugs on March 1, after tests showing that I was still non-metastatic.

To get prescriptions for the two?drugs, I had to fight with my Kaiser Doctors, who want to use Lupron depot in cases like mine. In the end however, I persuaded them to go along with my choices by citing research on both positive results and differences in side effects and just insisting that I would not take Lupron. I have not shared my choice to pursue Budwig, as well as my pharmaceutical choices with my doctors.

I'm tracking the results of my combined Budwig/pharma treatment with monthly PSA tests. Here are my results:

2/3/17 -- 27.96
3/3/17 -- 17.72
4/03/17 -- 4.67
5/03/17 -- 3.11
6/05/17 -- 2.60

You can see that my PSA has been falling substantially, but that the rate of deceleration in decline of the PSA has been slowing as time passes. At first, I thought that the substantial decline from February 3, to March 3, must have been at least partly due to Budwig, but I now think it was too early for Budwig to have been due to an immediate impact of bicalutamide, because its impact is said to be greatest at the start and I think a decline of 1/3 in the PSA is probably possible after 2 days of taking that drug, considering that the next decline was one of about 80 % over 31 days.

One of the differences between Lupron therapy and bicalutamide therapy is that Lupron will generally reduce PSA to a fraction of 1, perhaps as low as 0.1, whereas, bicalutamide will only lower it to perhaps 2 or so, but rarely lower. So, thus far, I think my results fit the bicalutamide pattern and that I can't distinguish, though neither can I rule out, a definite impact from the Budwig protocol.

Looking at the future however, I think that if my PSA results continue to fall, and as time passes they keep ?declining, then I will be able to say that likely Budwig worked, because my PSA results were incompatible with knowledge about how bicalutamide works.

Apart, from the above, I also want to say that Bonnie and I intend to continue following Budwig for good. We've adapted to the FO/CC well and we believe our health is better in general since we've started the diet. So, at this point we're very happy with Budwig and would recommend it to others.

I also want to say that I think this a wonderful yahoo group, and I greatly appreciate the very good information, encouragement and emotional support created here every day. So, thanks to everyone for your good will and contributions and special thanks to Sandra Olson, Denise Newkirk, and Dana Mills, for leading the way in setting the tone and being so generous in their sharing so much with the group.

Hi Frank,
? ? Here are a few recipes to get you started.

All recipes are for 2 people.


Buckwheat Cereal


1 cup water

1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)?

We use Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand


Bring water to boil. Add the dry buckwheat cereal. Stir and boil for 1 minute. Then cover and turn off heat. The cereal will absorb the water in about 10 minutes.?

Meanwhile, grate one oz. of ginger root. Finely chop 1/4 cup organic walnuts. Measure out 1/2 cup of applesauce.?

Optional addition: 1/4 organic cranberries, finely chopped.?

When the cereal has absorbed the water heat it again slightly for a minute. Then add in the ginger, walnut, applesauce, and cranberries and serve.



To the standard Budwig Protocol,?

alternate pineapple, strawberry, honeydew melon, blueberry, banana.

Remember you can mix in a bit of organic raw honey while you eat the FO Cream.



Sweet Potato Soup


1 Sweet potato, in cubes or slices

1 cup of water to start


Boil water. Add in sweet potato, oregano, finely chopped garlic. Turn down heat (very low) and simmer the potato for 15 minutes. Check to see if it has softened. May need more water. Cook 5 minutes more if needed.


Use a potato masher and mash to give the soup a creamy quality.? Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top with cilantro.


Variation#1 : Add in carrot, leek, or fennel.

Variation #2: Use some fingerling potato (the red or purple ones) with the sweet potato. Add in 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Top with one or two oz.grated raw sharp cheddar




Black Beans and Wild Rice (A Complete Protein)


Purchase dry black beans in health food store. I get mine from the bins at Sprouts Market. They are very reasonable! Soak the 1/4 cup beans in 1 cup of water for 8 hours. Or heat the water, add in the beans, bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and soak for one hour.? Then rinse the beans in a fine mesh colander.?

Return to pot and add another cup of water. Cook on low heat for about an hour. Check in on them and if they need more water, add from time to time.


Wild and Long Grain Brown Rice


1/2 cup rice mixture

1 cup water


Boil water. Add in rice. Cook on low heat for 45 minutes.

Mix the cooked black beans above into the rice.?


Variation #1: Add in some sweet potato, cauliflower. Just cut up in fine pieces. Add in when the rice is half way cooked.


Variation #2: Add in chopped broccoli, grated ginger, sesame seed, red pepper when rice mixture is half way cooked.


Variation #3: Add in walnut and pomegranate seeds at the end of cooking.


Buckwheat Salad


Lightly cook 1/4 cup whole buckwheat groats in pan- no oil. Just two to three minutes. Then add in 1 cup water. Cook on very low for 20 minutes. You may choose to add in a bit of applesauce to flavor.

Add in your choice of leafy greens, walnuts or pistachios, cranberries or pomegranate, finely sliced carrot, radish, raw zucchini, cucumber.


Enjoy!



I will post more from time to time, ones that seem to be hits in this household.?

Re: diet

 

Interesting conversation on buckwheat. I use this instead of rice now and really only discovered it after I got my cancer. All my life my mother drilled into my head the importance of rinsing and then soaking grains and she would chide me severely for taking shortcuts on it. But buckwheat is quite low in phytic acid comparatively to grains and rices. I have been soaking it guilt free for 1-2 hours max:)

I also chop it up in coffee grinder and use it successfully as replacement for Bulghur when I am stuffing veggies/dolmas;)

Dear Rahel,

This is what I learned from Dr. Weil about phytic acid. It is not all bad. In fact...."You also should be aware that phytates themselves have some health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects. In laboratory research, phytates have helped normalize cell growth and stopped the proliferation of cancer cells. They also may help prevent cardiovascular disease and lower a food¡¯s?."

Re: Update - Prostate cancer

 

Hi Liz,


Thank for your kind reply, which I've been thinking about. I've always wondered how I might know when I'm getting into autoimmune territory, other than by observing trends and evaluating whether the trend has shifted from downward to upward.


Regarding Cyberscan, I guess I have some research to do.


Thanks for the suggestion.


Best,
Joe

Hi Joe


FANTASTIC!!!! WELL DONE!!!!
You must be thrilled :)


My thought is that I would back off sooner rather than later as you don¡¯t want to get into autoimmune territory. I¡¯ve found that I was just doing too much as I wanted to throw everything at it and beat it without allopathic treatment.
I would do exactly as I think you¡¯re suggesting, stop everything except the one I was most comfortable about doing long term, which for you seems to be BP, and monitor the impact over 6 months so your system has time to settle with the new regime.
Either your levels will stay low OR increase for a bit then stabilise/reduce again as your body adjusts OR increase meaning you need to add things back in to your protocol.


You might be interested in exploring a cyber scan - the below will give you some more info.


- has a 5 minute video from the German trained MD explaining the technology




The thing I love about the cyber scan is that it can diagnose and monitor EVERYTHING in the body without radiation or anything invasive. There needs to be an initial face to face visit but then it can be done by sending hair samples¡­.at least that¡¯s the case with Ondol, the first link. I don¡¯t know where you are but this clinic is only about 2 hours from me so very accessible :)


You¡¯re doing GREAT Joe :)

Hi everyone,


Last time I updated here was on June 16, 2017. Since then I've had further progress using my combined therapy of Budwig, bicalutamide, and dutasteride. Here is my updated tracking of PSA test results:


2/3/17 -- 27.96
3/3/17 -- 17.72
4/03/17 -- 4.67
5/03/17 -- 3.11
6/05/17 -- 2.60
7/03/17 -- 2.15
8/02/17 -- 1.84
9/06/17 -- 1.75


So, you can see that the decline in my PSA is decelerating. From my reading, I've gotten the notion that PSA under bicalutamide hormonal therapy stabilizes around 2.00. So, I am a bit below that, but not enough to suggest that the Budwig protocol has had additional impact beyond the expected.


However, even though the decline recently has slowed it hasn't stopped, but was at 5% last time around. So, the decline may continue or more importantly, the Budwig effect could manifest itself in a long term stabilization over a few years. I'll see.


Whether or not that happens, I think it likely that my PSA may begin to rise again since experiments with bicalutamide indicate that after an undetermined period of time the hormonal therapy actually begins to work with the cancer. At that point, I'll face a decision about what to do.


My thinking now is that I will go with the Budwig protocol supplemented by turmeric, MCP, and the White Mushroom Powder Julian was kind enough to tell us about recently. That may be effective because the combined therapy I'm using now may actually be hindering the favorable impact of Budwig.


I'll make that move quickly once I'm sure the PSA is no longer stable, so that I have lots of time to evaluate Budwig plus alone. with no allopathic remedies clouding the issue of effectiveness.


So that's it. A good update with optimism for the future and a backup plan if the PSA starts rising again. In addition, I'll have another MRI in the not too distant future, to check out if there's any visible cancer either in or outside the prostate, since I think it is just possible that my cancer may already have been cured and that the remaining PSA level above undetectable is due to BPH and not to prostate cancer.


Does anyone have any thoughts on this update? I would greatly value your ideas.


Best to all,




Joe Firestone

Hi Tom,


No one recommended the therapy. I picked it up from this article:

Casodex or bicalutamide is a well-known hormonal therapy for prostate cancer. It blocks the testosterone receptors on cells, but not the testosterone. The likelihood of many side effects is much less from Casodex than from Lupron Depot the favorite recommendation Doctors here in the US. I've read somewhere that Casodex is favored in Europe. Here's a very good wikipedia article on it (note the citations in it):



Casodex alone however, is not sufficient to block testosterone generated by the adrenal gland, so if you take it alone, you'll still be feeding the cancer. Dustasteride is a good supplement to Casodex for blocking testerone generated from the adrenal gland, because, unlike finasteride, another preferred therapy, it is more effective in doing that. Here's wikipedia on the comparison :



"Dutasteride belongs to a class of drugs called 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð inhibitors , which block the action of the 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð enzymes that convert testosterone into DHT.[25] It is an irreversible inhibitor of all three isoforms of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð, types I , II , and III .[5] [26] [27] This is in contrast to finasteride, which is similarly an irreversible inhibitor of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð[27] [28] but only inhibits the type II and III isoenzymes .[5] As a result of this difference, dutasteride is able to achieve a reduction in circulating DHT levels of as much as 98%, whereas finasteride is only able to achieve a reduction of 65 to 70%.[29] [1] [25] [30] In spite of the differential reduction in circulating DHT levels, the two drugs decrease levels of DHT to a similar extent of approximately 85 to 90% in the prostate gland ,[30] the type II isoform of 5¦Á-°ù±ð»å³Ü³¦³Ù²¹²õ±ð predominates.[26]


More generally, there is a lot of research on dustasteride as you'll see from the wikipedia reference. It's normally prescribed for BPH.


Anyway, I had fight to get the combination of the two drugs prescribed for me. I did not tell my doctors that I would be doing Budwig at the same time, but my expectation was and still is that Budwig would shield me somewhat from the likely severity of some of the side effects.


The Casodex/Dustasteride/Budwig therapy is my way of moving down the road toward an eventual cure for the cancer. I expect Casodex/Dustateride to fail me before too long, and see Budwig as more long-term treatment. I hope all three can get me down the road another 4 - 5 years or for good in the case of Budwig.
If it's not for good, then I have in mind various focal ablation techniques more or less on the horizon that may be available from Kaiser over the next 4-5 years. Here's a quote from a memo I wrote to my Kaiser doctors on this


We are living in a period of rapid development of other medical techniques and therapies that will have minimal side effects and that are likely to be available to Kaiser patients during the next few years. These include :


¡°Focal ablation of prostate cancer is an evolving treatment strategy that destroys a predefined region (or target) of the prostate that harbors the clinically significant cancer. A number of energy sources have been investigated for focal ablation of the prostate, including cryotherapy,13 high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU),14 photodynamic therapy,15 and laser ablation.16¡±


In addition, there is photodynamic therapy using activating light sensitive drugs previously injected.


So, that's it. I hope it's of interest to you and others. But I can't recommend it, of course, because it's just a personal strategy for coping with PC and living as long as I can.

Congratulation Joe!


Few questions:


"Last fall my PSA began to spike and after it reached 27.96, I decided to make a change and begin the Budwig protocol. I also decided to also use bicalutamide (Casodex), and dutasteride (Avodart), as well, and began those drugs on March 1, after tests showing that I was still non-metastatic."


1. Who recommended you to take the 2 drugs: bicalutamide (Casodex), and dutasteride (Avodart) ?

Hello Sandra and Everyone,


Perhaps it's time for update. As I've said in previous emails my wife, Bonnie, and I began the Budwig diet on February 15 of this year. Bonnie is a breast cancer survivor, who received surgery and chemo therapy and has now been clear for roughly four years. She decided to begin Budwig for preventive reasons and to make things easier for me.


I received a diagnosis of non-metastatic Gleason 8 prostate cancer just short of 5 years ago and decided then to continue taking finasteride for BPH and using supplements and dietary changes to hold back my cancer. Last fall my PSA began to spike and after it reached 27.96, I decided to make a change and begin the Budwig protocol. I also decided to also use bicalutamide (Casodex), and dutasteride (Avodart), as well, and began those drugs on March 1, after tests showing that I was still non-metastatic.


To get prescriptions for the two drugs, I had to fight with my Kaiser Doctors, who want to use Lupron depot in cases like mine. In the end however, I persuaded them to go along with my choices by citing research on both positive results and differences in side effects and just insisting that I would not take Lupron. I have not shared my choice to pursue Budwig, as well as my pharmaceutical choices with my doctors.


I'm tracking the results of my combined Budwig/pharma treatment with monthly PSA tests. Here are my results:


2/3/17 -- 27.96
3/3/17 -- 17.72
4/03/17 -- 4.67
5/03/17 -- 3.11
6/05/17 -- 2.60


You can see that my PSA has been falling substantially, but that the rate of deceleration in decline of the PSA has been slowing as time passes. At first, I thought that the substantial decline from February 3, to March 3, must have been at least partly due to Budwig, but I now think it was too early for Budwig to have been due to an immediate impact of bicalutamide, because its impact is said to be greatest at the start and I think a decline of 1/3 in the PSA is probably possible after 2 days of taking that drug, considering that the next decline was one of about 80 % over 31 days.


One of the differences between Lupron therapy and bicalutamide therapy is that Lupron will generally reduce PSA to a fraction of 1, perhaps as low as 0.1, whereas, bicalutamide will only lower it to perhaps 2 or so, but rarely lower. So, thus far, I think my results fit the bicalutamide pattern and that I can't distinguish, though neither can I rule out, a definite impact from the Budwig protocol.


Looking at the future however, I think that if my PSA results continue to fall, and as time passes they keep declining, then I will be able to say that likely Budwig worked, because my PSA results were incompatible with knowledge about how bicalutamide works.


Apart, from the above, I also want to say that Bonnie and I intend to continue following Budwig for good. We've adapted to the FO/CC well and we believe our health is better in general since we've started the diet. So, at this point we're very happy with Budwig and would recommend it to others.


I also want to say that I think this a wonderful yahoo group, and I greatly appreciate the very good information, encouragement and emotional support created here every day. So, thanks to everyone for your good will and contributions and special thanks to Sandra Olson, Denise Newkirk, and Dana Mills, for leading the way in setting the tone and being so generous in their sharing so much with the group.


Warm Feelings and Great Hopes for All of Us,


Joe Firestone

Shalom Lindsley,

?

I am really delighted to hear that buckwheat in?these muffins, and in the other foods that you have described, are helping your husband to overcome cachexia.? This is a serious issue, without many solutions.? So this one is very helpful.

?

Questions:

cooked buckwheat cereal = whole buckwheat "groats" (grains)? ?Before using them, do you soak these to release the phytates??

I suppose that YOU cook them?? How much water?? Do ?you use it as a gruel/porridge, or are they separate grains (no extra water)? ?Wait, I just saw your other post in which you mention?Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand?Buckwheat Cereal ?(1 cup water,?1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)).? For those of us without access to Bob's Red Mill brand, What is the difference between this cereal and buckwheat groats?

?

?

buckwheat flour = do you grind the buckwheat yourself or purchase the flour?? Have you thought about soaking the flour in the water from the cooked buckwheat before baking?

?

applesauce, no sugar = do you prepare the apple sauce yourself? ?with or without the peel?

?

banana, mashed = no questions!

?

organic walnuts = do you soak these, and perhaps dehydrate them, before using them in the muffins?

?

cup cranberries = are these FRESH cranberries, or dried, sometimes called craisins ?? Note that often, dried cranberries are?

sweetened - though sometimes you can get them sweetened with concentrated apple juice rather than with straight sugar.

?

cup sesame seed = whole sesame seeds? ?toasted or not?

?

thanks for the idea, and your answers, and wishing you continued success!

Re: diet

 

Shalom again Lindsley!

More comments about soaking.? You wrote:

Soak the 1/4 cup [black] beans in 1 cup of water for 8 hours.

Or heat the water, add in the beans, bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and soak for one hour.? Then rinse the beans in a fine mesh colander.?

Return to pot and add another cup of water. Cook on low heat for about an hour. Check in on them and if they need more water, add from time to time.


I strongly recommend using your first suggestion, and not your second suggestion.? Both will result in softened beans, reducing the cooking time needed.? Only the first one (NO heat, long soak) will allow the phytase enzymes to be released to work resulting in the release of minerals from the phytate proteins.? Important.


Both the long, whole grain rice and the wild rice should also be soaked and drained before cooking.

And I suppose also the buckwheat groats (though in that case, heating them in a pan before adding water would be problematic?).


By the way, it is important NOT to use the soaking water for cooking.? But your plants will love it!


Once again, it is not clear if you mean FRESH cranberries, or dried cranberries, and, if dried, are these sweetened.


lovely recipes!!

Hi Frank,
? ? Here are a few recipes to get you started.

All recipes are for 2 people.


Buckwheat Cereal


1 cup water

1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)?

We use Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand


Bring water to boil. Add the dry buckwheat cereal. Stir and boil for 1 minute. Then cover and turn off heat. The cereal will absorb the water in about 10 minutes.?

Meanwhile, grate one oz. of ginger root. Finely chop 1/4 cup organic walnuts. Measure out 1/2 cup of applesauce.?

Optional addition: 1/4 organic cranberries, finely chopped.?

When the cereal has absorbed the water heat it again slightly for a minute. Then add in the ginger, walnut, applesauce, and cranberries and serve.



To the standard Budwig Protocol,?

alternate pineapple, strawberry, honeydew melon, blueberry, banana.

Remember you can mix in a bit of organic raw honey while you eat the FO Cream.



Sweet Potato Soup


1 Sweet potato, in cubes or slices

1 cup of water to start


Boil water. Add in sweet potato, oregano, finely chopped garlic. Turn down heat (very low) and simmer the potato for 15 minutes. Check to see if it has softened. May need more water. Cook 5 minutes more if needed.


Use a potato masher and mash to give the soup a creamy quality.? Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top with cilantro.


Variation#1 : Add in carrot, leek, or fennel.

Variation #2: Use some fingerling potato (the red or purple ones) with the sweet potato. Add in 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Top with one or two oz.grated raw sharp cheddar




Black Beans and Wild Rice (A Complete Protein)


Purchase dry black beans in health food store. I get mine from the bins at Sprouts Market. They are very reasonable! Soak the 1/4 cup beans in 1 cup of water for 8 hours. Or heat the water, add in the beans, bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and soak for one hour.? Then rinse the beans in a fine mesh colander.?

Return to pot and add another cup of water. Cook on low heat for about an hour. Check in on them and if they need more water, add from time to time.


Wild and Long Grain Brown Rice


1/2 cup rice mixture

1 cup water


Boil water. Add in rice. Cook on low heat for 45 minutes.

Mix the cooked black beans above into the rice.?


Variation #1: Add in some sweet potato, cauliflower. Just cut up in fine pieces. Add in when the rice is half way cooked.


Variation #2: Add in chopped broccoli, grated ginger, sesame seed, red pepper when rice mixture is half way cooked.


Variation #3: Add in walnut and pomegranate seeds at the end of cooking.


Buckwheat Salad


Lightly cook 1/4 cup whole buckwheat groats in pan- no oil. Just two to three minutes. Then add in 1 cup water. Cook on very low for 20 minutes. You may choose to add in a bit of applesauce to flavor.

Add in your choice of leafy greens, walnuts or pistachios, cranberries or pomegranate, finely sliced carrot, radish, raw zucchini, cucumber.


Enjoy!



I will post more from time to time, ones that seem to be hits in this household.?

Re: diet

 

Dear Rahel,
? Let me respond to your questions the best I can. I do not soak the buckwheat. You probably already know that it is a seed, not a grain. It is recommended by Dr. Johanna Budwig which is why I looked into using it. I guess I am not concerned about the physic acid in it. Maybe I should be. This is what I learned from Dr. Weil about phytic acid. It is not all bad. In fact...."You also should be aware that phytates themselves have some health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects. In laboratory research, phytates have helped normalize cell growth and stopped the proliferation of cancer cells. They also may help prevent cardiovascular disease and lower a food¡¯s?."

? ? I use the buckwheat cereal from Bob's Red Mill, the Buckwheat Whole Groats from Bob's Red Mill and the ground buckwheat flour from the same source.? I am purchasing the applesauce, unsweetened. And I am not soaking the walnuts. The cranberries I buy are organic, frozen.?Sesame seed we use?untoasted.
?

I hope this helps. Best to you and your own continued success,?Rahel.

15 Key Points of Dr. Budwig's Plan - Read & Save

 

Hi Everyone,

The information below is based on Dr. Budwig's books - The Oil-Protein Cookbook[1952] and Cancer-the Problem and the Solution[1999] and is on my website at?? On the site, click on FUNDAMENTALS at the top of the front page to read more details about the Budwig plan; also, view the video at the bottom of the front page to see the oil/protein muesli recipe being made & read member testimonials.


Unfortunately 99% of websites & books, other than Dr. Budwig's books, have incorrect information about her plan. Authors & websites offering "Budwig information" that includes supplements, meats, fish or eggs are giving advice that could interfere with healing.?Dr Budwig did not include supplements & wrote about avoiding most,?but not all,?of them. It's also important to follow the FULL Budwig plan below, not just flax oil/cottage cheese[FO/CC].

Below?are?Guidelines, in brief, for the Budwig Diet & Lifestyle Plan?-?you don't have to eat all the foods?on this list each day.?ADJUST THE AMOUNTS TO FIT YOUR SIZE & DIGESTIVE ABILITY. Each food or liquid below has an important purpose. They all fight cancer, heart disease, arthritis & more.?There's good reason for following the schedule as stated below, but if necessary, adjust it to your needs.

The Budwig plan may take 3 months or more before significant improvement occurs. It's also possible to feel worse during the 2nd month; as cancer cells begin to die, some may go into the blood stream. The plan needs to be continued even after becoming cancer-free or the cancer could return. Eating forbidden foods & experiencing severe stress can promote cancer.

Dr. Budwig's Program:?

1. 1st thing in AM--Sauerkraut Juice, preferably raw and homemade. Raw unheated kraut has enzymes, probiotics and vitamins - all help the digestive system metabolize foods & improve immunity. Almost all sauerkraut in stores has been pasteurized [heated] and won't be as powerful as raw kraut. ?

2. Just before breakfast-- green or herbal tea with one teaspoon of raw honey, a cancer-fighter.?

3. Breakfast--Blend 3 Tbs Flax Oil & 6 Tbs Quark or Cottage Cheese+3 Tbs milk for thinning. Grind & add 2 Tbs whole flaxseeds, fresh fruit, pure fruit juice, raw nuts, 1 tsp raw honey.?This recipe has helped heal hundreds of cancer patients & ?is slightly different than Dr. Budwig's quark recipe which starts with blending FO, milk & raw honey, then adds quark. She placed the ground flax seeds in a bowl, then layered fruit & FO/CC on top.?Afterward, if hungry, eat 1 slice whole grain bread, raw veggies, quality cheese -1 oz Edam, Gouda, Emmentaler, ?Camembert. Watch a video of FO/CC being made?at?? [Bottom of ?page.]

4. Mid-morning -Homemade Vegetable Juice (carrot juice, beets w/apple, celery w/apple) . Very Important.

5. Before Lunch - Champagne or sparkling wine w/ 1Tbs whole flaxseeds, freshly ground, OR ground seeds in a small glass of fruit juice. Champagne helps absorption of ground seeds, allowing nutrients into brain.?

6. SUNBATHING outside 10 to 20 minutes around noon [weather permitting] without sun lotion or glasses, expose as much skin as possible to get vitamin D & healing energy of the sun.? Afterward, avoid washing with soap. Give vitamin D several hours to be made on the skin & ?absorbed.

7. Lunch - Big raw vegetable salad + Budwig FO dressing. If still hungry, eat foods from DINNER menu below.

8. Lunch Dessert - an important 2nd serving of 3 Tbs. Flax Oil & 6 Tbs. Quark or Cottage Cheese with 3 Tbs milk, well blended. Add raw fruit, pure fruit juice, raw nuts, raw honey and other flavors you like.?

9. Mid-afternoon - 1 Tbs. whole flaxseeds, freshly ground, in 2 to?8 oz of pure?fruit juice, homemade or store bought.? Flaxseeds are strong cancer fighters and are high in fiber for good digestion & elimination.

10. STRESS?REDUCTION--Meditate by focusing on the breath to calm the mind, use EFT?[Emotional Freedom Technique shown on youtube]?to change thinking, & use other ways to reduce stress - music, nature walks.?

11. Late afternoon - Papaya or pineapple juice, 2 to 8 oz,?with 1 Tbs whole flaxseeds, freshly ground.?

12. Dinner - Cooked grains & nutritional yeast flakes w/B12 OR grains & beans plus vegetables w/oleolux, nutritional yeast flakes w/B12 & spices. Grains & beans combined make a complete protein. Vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, & cabbage as well as onions & garlic are major cancer fighters. Suggested grains: brown rice, buckwheat, millet, oats, quinoa. Starches produce serotonin which is calming & helps w/sleep.

13. Evening - 1 glass Red Wine [optional]. Go to sleep early - by 10pm if possible.

14.?Dr. Budwig said to AVOID cancer promoters such as chemicals, preservatives, damaging fats, meats/poultry/eggs/fish, sugar, sugar substitutes [other than raw honey], highly processed foods, MOST SUPPLEMENTS, ozone treatments, dental infections?and wean off drugs if possible [under a doctor's care].

15. Most people do not need ELDI oils, which Dr. Budwig created mainly for patients who are too weak to eat. These oils are sold in Germany.?They are rubbed on the skin or used for an enema. [Some people make a version of ELDI oil at home by mixing 75% flax oil with 25% wheat germ oil to help preserve it. ]

Note: Avoid a book called The Budwig Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Diet. It's says on the cover that it's by Dr. Johanna Budwig but it isn't. It was written by her nephew [explained in the Preface] and contains recommendations that can cause cancer growth. Also, avoid a new book by Lothar Hirneise. Buy only Dr. Budwig's books named at the top of this page. You can find them at Apple Publishing.?

Kind regards, Sandra Olson, FlaxSeedOil2 Owner since 2007




Re: diet

 

The recipe looks great! I already have some buckwheat and buckwheat flour and frozen cranberries. Going to make some this morning !

I have made progress with my CLL bringing my platelet count up from 3,000 to 23,000.? Long way from 140,000 but never-the-less, progress? and my hematologist is encouraging me to keep working at it !!? I have fixed a couple recipes using raw honey.? I bought a Paleo sugar-free cook? book and it is amazing what can be made WITHOUT cane or beet sugar.? I've switched applesauce and bananas for eggs.? The book is Paleo Sweets by Kelsey Ale.

Anyone have any comments about using coconut sugar?? Is it compatible with the Budwig diet?? I have bought some but not yet used it .

Mini- Apple Cranberry Buckwheat Muffins

1/2 cup cooked buckwheat cereal
?3/4 cup buckwheat flour
?3/4 cup applesauce, no sugar
? ?1 banana, mashed
?1/4 cup organic walnuts
?1/2 cup cranberries
?1/4 cup sesame seed

? ?I mixed these together, which resulted in a wet but not sticky mixture. Then I put them in my mini muffin tray and set them in a cool oven 350 for 25 minutes.
? ?
? They are a hit at our house. Please note... no egg, no baking powder, no baking soda, no salt, no oil. The applesauce provides enough liquid and the seeds/nuts provide enough "oil".

Re: diet

 

Hi Frank,
? ? Here are a few recipes to get you started.

All recipes are for 2 people.


Buckwheat Cereal


1 cup water

1/3 cup buckwheat cereal (dry)?

We use Bob¡¯s Red Mill brand


Bring water to boil. Add the dry buckwheat cereal. Stir and boil for 1 minute. Then cover and turn off heat. The cereal will absorb the water in about 10 minutes.?

Meanwhile, grate one oz. of ginger root. Finely chop 1/4 cup organic walnuts. Measure out 1/2 cup of applesauce.?

Optional addition: 1/4 organic cranberries, finely chopped.?

When the cereal has absorbed the water heat it again slightly for a minute. Then add in the ginger, walnut, applesauce, and cranberries and serve.



To the standard Budwig Protocol,?

alternate pineapple, strawberry, honeydew melon, blueberry, banana.

Remember you can mix in a bit of organic raw honey while you eat the FO Cream.



Sweet Potato Soup


1 Sweet potato, in cubes or slices

1 cup of water to start


Boil water. Add in sweet potato, oregano, finely chopped garlic. Turn down heat (very low) and simmer the potato for 15 minutes. Check to see if it has softened. May need more water. Cook 5 minutes more if needed.


Use a potato masher and mash to give the soup a creamy quality.? Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top with cilantro.


Variation#1 : Add in carrot, leek, or fennel.

Variation #2: Use some fingerling potato (the red or purple ones) with the sweet potato. Add in 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Top with one or two oz.grated raw sharp cheddar




Black Beans and Wild Rice (A Complete Protein)


Purchase dry black beans in health food store. I get mine from the bins at Sprouts Market. They are very reasonable! Soak the 1/4 cup beans in 1 cup of water for 8 hours. Or heat the water, add in the beans, bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and soak for one hour.? Then rinse the beans in a fine mesh colander.?

Return to pot and add another cup of water. Cook on low heat for about an hour. Check in on them and if they need more water, add from time to time.


Wild and Long Grain Brown Rice


1/2 cup rice mixture

1 cup water


Boil water. Add in rice. Cook on low heat for 45 minutes.

Mix the cooked black beans above into the rice.?


Variation #1: Add in some sweet potato, cauliflower. Just cut up in fine pieces. Add in when the rice is half way cooked.


Variation #2: Add in chopped broccoli, grated ginger, sesame seed, red pepper when rice mixture is half way cooked.


Variation #3: Add in walnut and pomegranate seeds at the end of cooking.


Buckwheat Salad


Lightly cook 1/4 cup whole buckwheat groats in pan- no oil. Just two to three minutes. Then add in 1 cup water. Cook on very low for 20 minutes. You may choose to add in a bit of applesauce to flavor.

Add in your choice of leafy greens, walnuts or pistachios, cranberries or pomegranate, finely sliced carrot, radish, raw zucchini, cucumber.


Enjoy!



I will post more from time to time, ones that seem to be hits in this household.?
