She shouldn't have a problem finding oil in India. There is a strong Budwig force in India and I have some good pen pals there that coach the protocol. Quark I believe is also available. Mohit Chaturvedi posts often on the fb Budwig page, he would have more info.

I find the constipation interesting as I experienced the opposite. I started with 8/4 ratio because I figured more wouldn't hurt and I was a pretty big guy. I reduced to 100mg/50ml and my stools got a little better but still loose.
I know 6/3 is written in stone, but have often thought that a smaller person should be able to get by with less. I would give 4/2 ratio a try before giving up on the protocol.

I feel your pain! I am close to your weight and so much FOCC seems way too much for me. I can hardly eat any other foods and have to really force myself to do it. Sometimes substituting food for juicing helps. I gained 3 kg on Budwig but then stopped gaining weight. FOCC makes me constipated too. I believe it is quark that is causing it. I have never ever had a problem with constipation prior to starting Budwig and always had 2-3 bm per day. On Budwig I can have none if I don't do something for it. I know for sure it is FOCC because I had surgery in Feb and several days prior to surgery and several days after it I was not consuming FOCC due to its supposedly mild blood thinning effect. I did not have any problems with healthy bm 2-3 times a day on those days. So it is quark that is cauing the problem. I was trying to solve it eating prunes, only raw (except FOCC mix), more beets, etc. But the only thing that actually works for me is Cleanse More by Renew Life capsules. I have to take them daily which I don't like but they help because nothing else does. They are all natural by the way.

Douglas, thanks for the info! Most of the writing is above my head but interesting! I plan to buy the book. I do know about Dr Brooke Goldner who advocates smoothies with omega 3's and cruciferous veggies.? I hate smoothies.? I'm hoping in the summer I will like them better.? I freeze in the winter with cold smoothies! I will find a way to stomach the oil otherwise.
Irena, I agree! I have no doubt the dairy is constipating! I have a redundant looping colon, so I always have to take magnesium oxide to go.? Now I have to take even more.? I've always worried about the hormones in dairy, so I'm glad to hear that you don't need it.? Of course, that's after I bought 3 tubs of the stuff!

Perhaps instead of the 3::6 ratio on both servings,?
you could try the 2::4 ratio in one of your two daily servings.
Be it in the morning or afternoon.
That may help.

?A whole?food plant based diet will bring that?back to normal, alongside the Budwig protocol. Obviously cottage cheese is dairy but Like Dr. Budwig explained FOCC is deemed?a new substance in the body. It is not dairy.

Beautifully said Dan. I don¡¯t post often, but follow daily. I am 14 years in survival, after graduating hospice at the 14 month mark, 12 months longer than my oncologist gave me. I did a little of everything. What seamed right 10 years ago is not right now. It¡¯s fluid, my recovery and my life. Sending big love out to everyone ??

I started brewing annua powder with my coffee. Nothing complicated, I just added a few tbl to the basket in my drip coffee maker along with 2 tbl of coffee and tsp or so of dandelion root powder. I eventually worked up to 6 tbl of annua powder per session, but a person should start with just 1 tbl and work up. I got Herxie a few times early on.
I always felt arte should work with BP because BP is an oxygenating protocol and arte peroxides, that look like iron to cancer, should kill off the most aggressive cells while BP healed the others.
I do no know of anybody else, anywhere, that is doing this so there is no manual, just my experiences and I will happily share.

I followed diligently for 6 months and improved greatly. There were a couple of tumors/symptoms that still existed but felt great physically. I was miserable, mentally, because of the diet restrictions. I know, wimp, ha. That is when I decided that Budwig was going to have to coexist with some of my wants, and began the long distance up and down of my experience. I added coffee enemas at that mark, and eventually added artemisia tea to those enemas and that is when I really began to notice changes.
If a person can stick to the diet restrictions, without cheating, I am very confident in healing. You don't have to follow the exact diet, per se, just avoid the "don'ts". I would alternate between raw cruciferous veg's and steamed veg's for dinner. A couple of days I would make a vegetable soup with pinto beans (or other beans). But Sunday was my cheat day (and occasionally an entire weekend when I would dog sit for my daughter). I would do the FO/CC twice a day, every day, regardless.
Made my own sauerkraut for the juice. Juiced fresh fruits and veg's twice a day.
I took notes and one day need to organize the story.
