Re: Condensed Milk
Ilona Wright
Hi folks,
Recipe number 28 in the Oil-protein cookbook refers to "condensed milk". Can anyone please tell me what this is? In Australia condensed milk is a sickly sweet substance that I have only ever used to make caramel cream with or add to coconut, chopped dried fruit and chocolate, rolled into balls and coated with desiccated coconut to make a sweet. One can contains more sugar than I would eat in 5 years, so I am quite sure that this type of condensed milk is not meant to be in the BP. Thank you in advance. Ilona Adelaide, Australia |
Re: MRI Contrasting- Hip Pain
JCastron
Don't know if my last and only one of two CT-Scans caused hip pain, however, I've solved the matter by a simple exercise at night. I suppose any time would do it.
Extend the leg out sideways then make a circular motion 20 time in one direction and 20 in the other. Do it with both legs. Saw this on Mr. Rogers..............so it has to be good. Joe C. |
Important Question/Pulmonary Embolism
Hello All,
Shortly after my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, they also found a pulmonary embolism. They immediately put her on Lovenox. She has been taking two shots in her belly everyday. The doctor wants her to keep on doing this. When we've mentioned that we are thinking of stopping the shots, they make us feel like it would be a HUGE mistake to do so. We are doing BP 100% and we are haunted everyday with the fact that she is taking this medication, we are scared to death that it may be hindering the progress of the protocol or worse yet, making her condition worse. In researching the drug online we found that it is metabolized in the liver (She has liver cancer). We don't want to strain her liver further yet at the same time we are afraid that the blood clot may also kill her.... The tumors on her liver are HUGE and we don't feel that we have the time to make any mistakes on this protocol. I've searched past posts and only one person has ever brought up the drug and I did not see any replies to the question. PLEASE HELP! We don't want to be harming her. We want to do whats best for her. Anyone with any knowledge of blood clots you input would be VERY much appreciated. Kindest Regards, Christine |

Have never had prostate cancer, only Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Peed blood and clotted due to the BPH exacerbated by food irritants ie: hot sauce, peppers, alcohol, dark chocolate. I do have: turmeric, spinach, broccoli and lentils and lots of varied beans. Thanks for being there. ****

Any ideas. Thanks, Ram¨®nHi Ramon, Are you feeling weak and fatigued? That's usually how anemia affects someone. I recall that in the past you have reported losing a considerable amount of blood daily because of your prostate cancer. Is that still happening? Here's informaton from a website on high iron foods. Fill your diet with these foods and your iron levels should increase. What foods provide iron? EXCELLENT food sources of iron include chard, spinach, thyme, and turmeric. VERY GOOD sources of iron include romaine lettuce, blackstrap molasses, mustard greens, turnip greens, string beans, and shiitake mushrooms. GOOD sources of iron include lentils, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, garbanzo beans, broccoli, leeks, and kelp. For more information, click here Sandra |

Fear of doing the Budwig Diet only.
Cindy Becker
I read your messages every day, and find comfort in your thoughts. I
submitted a question last month for my husband who was diagnosed with limited Stage IV Lung Cancer. The response made me go back and review our daily routine and modify a couple areas my husband was slacking on. For the last 30 days, I have made sure that he has implemented all recommendations. Those areas were minor (drinking a glass of fresh juice 2-3 a day, instead of once a day, also switching from baking soda, to the organic sauerkraut juice). Other than that he is 100% on the Budwig Diet. It has been 3 months since the first x-ray indicated something on his lung, which we assumed was pneumonia... not. He was recommended to a local onocologist, who terrified both of us. I have never met a professional who spoke so harshly against nutrional therapy. He told us that my husband was to stop all, because it could effect the chemo. When I asked how exactly it could interfere, he said there wasn't any definite documentation, but "they" preferred their patients to adhere to their requests. Needless to say, we have not gone back. P.S. this doctor told my husband that if he didn't do anything he would have 2-3 months to live. We have just finished the third month, since this whole ordeal began. Needless to say he is still alive and doing very well. My husband is now a patient of a very good onocologist with the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. He is less closed minded to nutritional therapy, but still makes his money on chemo. My husband was to start chemo tommorow (Tuesday Aug 14), but has decided to push it back. Where our fear lies is with the unknown. We both are scared to death of chemo, not only from what we read in the alternative sites, but from what we read in the American Cancer Society sites. They do not do a great job on selling their theories. We have an appointment with another doctor on Tuesday (Aug. 14) his expertise lies within nutrional and "alternative" medicines. He is highly respected and was actually recommended by my husband's current onocologist. I guess our biggest fear is "are we doing the right thing" when everyone around us is pushing for chemo. If we are not under the care of a physician (onocologist) how can we monitor my husband's progress? I guess like everyone else who faces this disease, we are just looking for some encouragement. Not only do the doctors question our judgement, but our family and friends think we are endangering my husband's health. I know it is his life and we have to stay strong, but a little help to build our confidence would be greatly appreciated. PS, regarding spending all your time caring for this disease, there is only one alternative . . . I wouldn't change it for a moment. Besides, being a chef in a restaurant, I spend approximately 16-18 hours a day working with food. I find Dr. Budwig's recommendations intriquing and a challenge to experiment. You'd be amazed at the variations you can create with her ingredients. The further I get into them, I will share. This group is a blessing, and helps me begin my day. Thank you. CIndy |
Re: For unwell people - milk and eggs in the diet? [avoid eggs]
Hi Susan and all,
At times, we all may miss certain foods when they are no longer part of our diet, but I do believe that this gets better over time. One thing that I do is to associate the word "poison" with these foods. If every time you think that you want eggs or cookies or other foods that are unhealthy for you, you will think of them as poisons, it will help. You will be retraining your mind to think of them in a way that makes them not desirable to you. And, they ARE poisons for you and for many people whether they have cancer or not. We all know that animal fats in eggs and meats are associated with many diseases, as is sugar and other foods on Dr. Budwig's 'forbidden' list. Eggs are not in the protocol, Dr. Budwig said no animal fats [other than in cheese]and on page 175 that you are quoting, under "Forbidden for the unwell," she begins by saying, "Forbidden are all fats other than flax seed oil and oleolux." That would include the fats in eggs and meats. Just because she warns that eggs and bacon cooked in lard are especially bad for a person, doesn't mean that eggs and bacon would be ok if a fat other than lard were to be used. Some day, after you have been well for a very long time, a few years, then you might *occasionally* have some of the forbidden unhealthy foods, but if you will continue to add more new recipes of Budwig foods to your diet, you may be able to overcome any longings for these damaging foods. Check our folder in the files that offers recipes from members. There are some very good ones available giving lots of variety. One member said to me that sometimes when she gives in and eats a forbidden food, it doesn't really taste that good to her, then she wonders why she wanted it. She said that maybe it's just the memory of the food that makes her want it, not that it tastes so much better than the foods in the Budwig diet plan. When we think that we want these damaging, unhealthy foods, we have to think, do I want to risk my life for a few bites of this particular food. That's always the way to weigh the choice. I find that if I have a craving for some particular unhealthy food, creating a healthy subsitute with similar characteristics works to satisfy me. If you're wanting eggs, you may really be wanting more protein, have a few Brazil nuts and walnuts, or some hard cheese as a snack, or combine the two [nut & cheese bites] and that may take care of your desire. Best wishes, Sandra "Susan Hamson" wrote: Within the framework of the oil-protein diet regimen, scrambled eggsRacheli Wrote:Hi Racheli - or fried eggs prepared with bacon or lard can cause problem." I wonder if she meant that eggs without bacon or lard would beokay. I know she said no animal fats, but did she specifically say, somewhere else that eggs are not allowed?

Praise theDear Susan, Your statement above is so exciting that I wanted to make a special post about it rather than leave it in a message about eggs. This is great news! I copied your message below from July 12th. In April, your doctor gave you two months to live and now, on August 13th, you are feeling great and have not coughed up blood from you lung tumors for 10 days. You've been on the Budwig protocol for four and a half months. I am so happy for you!! The Budwig protocol and your detemination are doing wonders to heal you. Congratulatons!!

I'm doing the BP carefully and have been since April when the bleeding started. I know it is helping, because in April my Dr. said two months -- it's been three and I'm still here. But now the bleeding, when I cough, is worse. Is that the part where it gets worse before it gets better? Any ideas? Susan |
Flax seed
Vilik Rapheles
Rhoda said ...
It begins to lose electrons slowly. It does not become rancid, it does not lose food value so quickly. When I'm out and about, I grind mine, put it in an airtight baggie, and place it in an ice sandwich. Some immerse it in honey to keep air out, calling it linomel. Does that prevent it from losing electrons? I don't know. I do know that it's just one more step and unwanted extra calories. We all make choices in order to live our lives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rhoda et al, Then why did JB say it must be eaten within 10-15 minutes? I just read that in her first book but don't have the reference handy. Angel |
Fast Juicer?
Eric G. Wruck
I just spent a week at a B&B on Chincoteague Island in Virginia & used
the proprietors' old Champion masticating juicer while I was there. It was substantially faster than the Omega 8005 that I use here at home. Normally at home it takes me 25-30 minutes to get 24-32 oz of juice (typical would be a spinach bunch, carrots, celery, a beet & ginger). Using the Champion I was done in about 10 minutes. It made me think I should invest/upgrade in a new juicer. So what is zippy that doesn't also destroy those precious enzymes? Also, if anyone knows of a review that rates juicers on speed, I'd like to see it (I searched for awhile but couldn't find such a review). Thanks, Eric |
prostate cancer & Grape Seed Extract [GSE]
Jerome Mittelman
A number of the polyphenols naturally found in Grape Seed Extract
have the ability to impede the growth of and destroy prostate cancer cells. Several studies have documented the anticancer and chemopreventive efficacy of Grape Seed Extract (GSE) against various cancers including prostate cancer. GSE is a complex mixture of a group of powerful polyphenols and a number of them have activity against prostate cancer according to this new analysis that separated these polyphenols and measured their individual abilities to inhibit the growth of or ultimately destroy prostate cancer cells (of course many times its not just the individual effects of food ingredients but also the specific mix found in nature that gives them so much anti- disease clout; an effect known as synergism where one and one adds up to more than two). Three of the fourteen constituents measured individually had a powerful impact on destroying prostate cancer cells; this is not to say that the addition of the other eleven doesn't bolster their effects. The research is published online ahead of print in the journal Carcinogenesis. -- J. Hickey, RPh Jerome Mittelman |
Re: MRI Contrasting
Hi,
I don't really know what the risk is, but have a connected question I'd like to ask the group. The other day on TV I saw something about bone problems resulting from the contrast dye used in CT scans. I've had a lot of pain in my hips, the right side particularly, and wondered if this is simply arthritis, or if anyone else has experienced this pain after several scans. I should note that I sleep on a sleep number bed, with an additional magnet mattress on top, and when I rise, there is no pain. But if I nap on the couch, or sit too long anywhere other than straight, the hip pain returns. Thanks for any info you can supply Lisa --- marjorieprice2 <marjorieprice2@...> wrote: Hello again, my husband went for his MRI this ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?
