flaxseed oil freshness
Barb
The flaxseed oil I bought the two days ago tastes
like linseed oil I think but it was in refrigerator at store and also freshness date is okay. How does one not waste money on oil that has gone rancid? It is expensive to replace. Can you order it direct or anything? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s next ad campaign! |

Sandra's post on mixing flaxseed oil: mixer/blender
Barb
Re: Sandra's post on mixing
If Budwig said 'electric mixer', he didn't mean anythingn like the Braun electric handheld blender. The handheld blender is like the upright blenders only blades made so they go into small upright containers. They rotate much faster than an 'electric mixer'. An electric mixer is much gentler mixing, much!! It doesn't use cutting blades that rotate extremely fast, it is just like two wire whisks that rotate faster than you could probably do by hand or perhaps you could but it would be tiring. If his protocol worked and we are following that then handheld blenders are different than Budwig used. If the 'contents of the dairy product' don't matter then it is mute issue. If dairy product is just vehicle to deliver fo. However high speed blending ruins much of the nutritional value of dairy products and many foods that are highly processed, 'I have read'. Directions keep recommending electric mixer and people keep talking about handheld blenders. They are 'very' different. They had blenders back in era testing was done then she/he is not recommending blenders, handheld or tabletop, but is recommending mixers like you make brownie and cake batter with and also whip cream, etc. You don't make whipped cream with blender, right? It would ruin it wouldn't it, another dairy product. You hand whisk it or use an 'electric mixer'. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s next ad campaign! |
Re: Low fat cottage cheese
Wilhelm Hansen
Ed,
the fo/cc ratio is right, but I wonder why you take 1 tblsp FO several times a day. Under the Budwig Diet plan one begins with a Muesli in the morning which consists of 3 tblsp FO, CC, fruit, etc. for breakfast. See our files under "Budwig Diet" and "Foods". Wilhelm Wilhelm...I started taking FO/CC every morning and several times a day. My recipe is 2 table spoons of cottage cheese, one tablespoon of FO and a little natural spring water to blend it. Sometimes I add blue berries and a little natural honey for taste. Am I following the plan OK? Thanks much. Ed |

Re: Comments on Dr. Myers' comments
Wilhelm Hansen
Hi Charles,
I am glad that the fo/cc works well for you for a number of health problems and that you feel so much better. I have added your post in our testimonials under "Arthritis". Wilhelm This is all very interesting however I have to add something. I was diagnosed last october (2003) with advanced pc the most aggresive type with lymph node involvement. I started soon afterward on focc and have maintained it with some tailoring on my own. By this I mean the addition of turmeric and ginger to the mix. when all this started I was having severe arthritic pain in my arms and shoulders. If I got my arm up behind my head at night I could not get it down without reaching up with my other arm and pulling it down. Any kind of physical labor caused my whole body to ache. If I had to reach across the car and unlock the door for my wife my arm in the bicep area would hurt so bad I would get tears in my eyes. Soon after starting focc I was splitting wood and after about 2 hours it dawned on me that I was not hurting. I thought it would start when I went into the house. It never did start and I am totally free of the pain. I also have had a dramatic improvement in my hypertension. That is my experience with focc. My psa is down from 358 to 4.7 some of that is due to hormone therapy. I feel good! I have more energy. I have no idea what is going on with the cancer. My bladder is now emptying and prostate has shrunk to normal. I will continue as long as i can with focc if for no other reason for the reasons I have mentioned. Charles |
Update and Thank You
Hi Everyone,
When I first found this group and posted on June 29th, a couple weeks ago, my sister was having surgery that day to have her kidney removed because a tumor had been found through a CAT scan. The surgery went well, it WAS cancer, but the doctor believes it was contained and that she is now cancer free (after lung and bone scans were done). She and I both started on the Budwig mixture once a day. She has recovered twice as fast from the surgery as they said she would, already out and about after 2 weeks and feeling good though, of course, needs more rest than usual. She's in very good spirits and believes that with the Budwig protocol, she will stay cancer free. I sent her many of your inspiring stories of healing and staying healthy. Also, on the list, I had brought up the discussion about yogurt replacing cc and had called Bill Henderson about the reference in his book, which he answered, saying he got the information from this group. Wilhelm, I want to thank you for changing the file to reflect that yogurt was never recommended by Dr. Budwig. I am now using Nancy's brand CC and doing just fine with it. In fact, I often have an irritated intestinal tract as one of the many problems I have with my severe case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. When I eat the FO/CC/GFS and fruit, the irritation goes away after 15 or 20 minutes. It evidently soothes the lining or inflammation in the intestines. (btw, I don't have celiac's disease/gluten intolerance) Today I sent information about this group to a friend whose grand daughter, age 15, was recently diagnosed with bone cancer in her leg. Doctors have already started her on chemotherapy. I hope that the family will add nutritional support to her program. I will simply share the information and see if they are interested. I know from tests that I am very low in glutathione. I'm sensitive to whey products that have been developed to boost GSH, but perhaps through the FO/CC mixture, I will begin to feel more strength. I'm too weak to leave the house very often and I live alone, so I just got my electric mixer yesterday. My sister had her daughter buy it and Fed Ex it to me as a thank you for telling her about the Budwig Diet. (She lives in TX and I'm in California). So, even though I have been taking the mixture a couple weeks, I'm going to consider July 15th the start of my taking the protocol (correctly blended). Thanks again for all the inspiring stories and the responses to my earlier posts. I'll keep reading the messages every day & posting from time to time. I keep learning more all the time. Sandra |

Comments on Dr. Myers' comments
Cliff Beckwith
I'm concerned after reading an article in www.webmdhealth regarding**** I will post an article written to the Flax list over four years ago. Cliff From: "Cliff Beckwith" <cliffb865@... ?To: "Jules on Myers" ? ?Hi, The idea that FlaxSeed Oil is bad for men with PCa originated with Dr. Myers and virtually all of those who write as Dr. Ornish has written got it from that source originally. In the first place it is based on the use of Flaxseed Oil without the sulfur based proteins and Dr. Budwig herself said that is dangerous. Don't use it without the cottage cheese or other source of amino acids with the sulfur bond. I won't argue with Dr. Myers, but I will include here a communication written to this list around three years ago and which I saved. Cliff Dear Doug: Here's my take on this Dr. Myers matter. Dr. Myers is a recognized authority, he definitely doesn't like fo/cc therapy, and he campaigns against it in many forums. However, that doesn't mean that he>is right. I subscribe to the Prostate Forum, I urge others to subscribe, and I find benefit in reading it. I am not an anti-Meyers person. But you have to understand his biases when you read his theories or you get misled. Dr. Myers has a huge medical practice but he never reports on his clinical data. He may not have clinical data. Compare him to a Dr. Walsh or a Dr. Catalona. You may not agree with them, but they tell you exactly what happened with their very large patient populations. They are not theorizing. They have treated thousands of men and here's what happened. Dr. Myers is the opposite. He only theorizes-- with no data at all. He reads published papers and interprets them from the point of view of someone with a lot of biochemistry knowledge. That causes>problems and you have to be very careful when you read his writings. He can be dead wrong. Look first at one of his other peculiar items in the latest issue (called Feb 2000). On the front page it says: "Surgical removal of prostate cancer accelerates the growth of metastatic prostate cancer by suppressing the production of angiostatin." You might think that he is saying that you shouldn't have surgery, but if you think that you were deceived. He's not saying that at all!! I know, some people will jump on>these words and start to believe that surgery doesn't work. But it's nonsense; we have data on that topic. Where's the error? Can you find it? Be honest. Can you find the error or would you have been taken in ? O.K. here's the answer. Firstly, if you read his analysis of his own treatment regime in a prior issue then you know that he wanted to have surgery, but he reasoned that it wouldn't work for him. So he's clearly not against surgery. If you read the supporting article in detail, you will find that he's not talking about surgery in general, despite the headline; he's talking about (w/o properly naming it) so-called debulking for men who have very advanced PC with well defined mets. However, even for this case his argument is theoretical and not a valid proof. Why? Because these are very sick men who are using some type of therapy. The question is whether their chosen therapy is aided or harmed by the debulking. Dr. Myers has nothing valid to say on this topic ,>because he didn't even speculate, no less have data, on a protocol for such cases. His imaginary protocol is the case of the very sick man who does nothing but debulking. That's a stupid case and doesn't arise. So what does the article teach? Ans: Nothing at all. It's all blowing in the wind. It's just an interesting theoretical comment with no clinical significance. I offer you that analysis to show you how Dr. Myers theorizing style gets him in trouble fairly often. You have to be a very careful reader. What is Dr. Myers doing with fo/cc? He's theorizing again. He offers an analysis of the biochemistry of fats and tells you of his library search. He does everything other than follow the suggested protocol and try it on patients, or at least on dogs. He'll do anything other than real scientific testing. When we read that many quite sick people have tried fo/cc alone and as an adjuvant to other therapies, and very good things happened, how can anyone possibly throw out this data and accept Dr. Myers theorizing? Above all, if we want to be scientifically rational, then we must give the heaviest weight to real test data. That's where the rubber meets the road. What's the bottom line? We must remember that fo/cc is an investigational therapy. We have to be careful and work closely with a supportive doctor. We should treat Dr. Myers concerns with respect. But in no way is his theorizing ever a trump card. In no way should people ignore test results and prefer learned speculation. Dr. Myers hasn't proven anything. Read it always as an advisory thought.

Flaxseed capsules- That is fantastic. How are you blending the protocols? How much flaxseed oil do you think you are getting?

Re: archives and bookmarks

Hi Joan,
I had to look for it. That was Msg # 4168 which was in reference to our files where a fellow by the name of bgtt57 had quietly been building a library of past posts and other Budwig and flaxseed oil related information under the heading of "bookmarks". Prior to that our files have had very little information in them as far as I remember. All of that information under "bookmarks" mysteriously disappeared a few months later and our files were empty once again except for one file. Shortly after we discovered that, we began to add new material to our files witch is what you see now. This btw is completely different from the former "bookmarks". Wilhelm I am looking for some previous posts about poor appetite (I think there were some just 3 or so months ago), which I am having trouble finding. As I am searching, I find a hard copy of Wilhelm's post of April 22, 2002, about bookmarks in the FlaxSeedOil group. I have been unable to access bookmarks. Do you have to be a member to do that, or is this old outdated information from 2002? It sounds like it could be a helpful tool. Wilhelm, can you help me out with this, if I am being clear with my question? Thanks, Joan |
