Re: Budwig protocol and Pau d'arco tea..??
Wilhelm Hansen
You say that when you were off fo/cc and on Pau d'Arco your tumor almost disappeared, but at the same time you are concerned about metastasis because of the headaches. Wouldn't any natural food or protocol that causes a tumor to disappear also prevent metastasis?

I would not have expected any interference between the Budwig Diet and Pau d'Arco because it is a natural tea and I am still not convinced that one will inhibit the efficacy of the other. I have no explanation for what you are describing. Wilhelm ----- Original Message -----

Re: how much do i eat during the day
Wilhelm Hansen
Hi Anna
Have you read our files, specifically the first file under "Budwig Diet" called "Flax oil - cottage cheese mixture"? You will find that general quantities are given there as per Dr.Budwig's suggestions. So far as I know, Dr.Budwig did not say exactly how much FO to take in a day and I think that we should not suggest it to anyone either. Requirements vary from person to person for many reasons. This is food, not a prescription drug where precise amounts are required. General quantities should suffice and some variation from day to day would be quite normal IMO. When I asked one of Dr.Budwig's patients how much FO he was taking a day, he could not answer the question without first mentally adding up the FO component in the various foods of the day and then giving me an approximate figure. From one of your earlier posts I see that you are taking 6 tblsp ground flaxseed (flaxmeal) and 3 to 4 tblsp FO. That sounds about right to me except that you need to mix the FO with low fat CC as Dr.Budwig said, not with beet juice. Now you say you are taking 3 tblsp ground flaxseeds and that it is not a problem for you. Dr.Budwig had her patients take 5 tbslp Linomel a day as you can see in the file referred to above. The information that you need 450 g fo/cc does not add up. I don't know how you figured it all in terms of weight. We usually use quantity measurements. Let's convert what you are taking to weight in approximate terms: 4 tblsp FO = 37 g 8 tblsp CC = 133 g 3 tblsp milk = 45 g (for thinning) Total fo/cc = 215 g (not counting any fruit, nuts or other ingredients that you may be adding) That comes to 215 g for 4 tblsp FO - not 450 g as you mentioned. Furthermore, you would likely split 4 tblsp FO into two meals like 3+1 or 2+2. The Muesli breakfast according to Dr.Budwig contains 3 tblsp FO and 2 tblsp Linomel. Any more FO and ground flaxseed would be consumed later. You mention flaxseed meal. That has the ring of a commercial pre-ground product. Be careful with that. Dr.Budwig recommends only Linomel or freshly ground flaxeeds. Wilhelm Hi everyone,I have asked for some help in how much I need to eat of the fo/cc, but I have had no response. I hope you are getting the message. My ISP has not indicated a problem in delivering the mail. I am of a small stature (46kg) and from the information I have I need to eat 450gr. of fo/cc plus the flaxmeal 3tbsp. of a day. The flaxmeal is not a problem, but I find the 450gr. of fo/cc a bit much. Can this be adjusted according to the persons body weight or is this diet for active cancer the formula for everyone? Hope to hear from you soon.Anna |

had a grand mal. It was just one week after I started. I got very scared and stop and went back to the capsules again. I don't think it was because of the oil, but at the time I did. I believe I could have just been low on sodium at the time. I am just scared to start it again. Maybe in time I will. But It is amazing just the small amount I was taking for the capsules has helped my neurological problem. Lisa --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., Barb <barb1283@y...> wrote:

Re: Lisa: Flaxseed capsules
Wilhelm Hansen
Barb,
I realize that with your previous post on this subject you answered a post that I for some reason had missed. I know capsules aren't part of Budwig protocol. What I meant was how are you 'blending' the two different protocols, the Budwig protocol and theother one she is using that calls for the capsules. I wasn't referring to blending like with blend cc and fo. I think the short answer is that you don't mix the two protocols. There is no point in it. Dr.Budwig was against taking FO capsules for the purpose of fighting cancer. It's like when you want to get to some place 100 miles away where the transportation of choice is the car and you ask how do I work a tricycle into it? You don't. I wondered how much flaxseed oil person is getting then, taking capsules for one protocol and then also tablespoons with the Budwig protocol...Basically it takes 9 to 10 FO capsules to make up 1 tblsp FO, but we are comparing different things. They seem to have their place in correcting some minor nutritional deficiency but not after things have derailed and a serious illness has surfaced. The straight FO in the capsules does not have the same effectiveness as the FO in the fo/cc mix. That refers directly to one of the fundamental principles of the Budwig Diet. Also, don't forget that with straight FO, there seems to be some risk involved. However, the quantity in FO capsules is so small that this may not be much of a concern. ...and wonder why person doesn't just increase amount of flaxseed oil in Budwig protocol rather than using the capsules.I agree, just increasing the FO within the Budwig Protocol (i.e. fo/cc) would be the better way.

Re: Sandra's post on mixing flaxseed oil: mixer/blender

Dr.Budwig was a "she" - Dr.Johanna Budwig. As we discussed recently, she did not specifically refer to a hand held mixer because they probably did not exist in 1952 when she wrote her "Oil-Protein Diet" cookbook. She referred to an electric "Mischger?t" which can mean mixer or blender. Many of the blenders can go low or high speed and some of the hand held mixers have a variable speed control that allows low speed settings. Dr.Johanna Budwig simply was not specific about the speed and duration of mixing and whether any caution should be used. She was more concerned about the end result of having a smooth cream and no oil being visible anymore. This does not mean that there is no room for improvement if warranted - but is there really a problem? So far I have seen no indications of that. On the other hand, I would be more concerned about no mixing, insufficient mixing and improper mixing since there are indications suggesting that this can lead to less effectiveness. The notion that high speed mixing or any severe mechanical agitation can cause damage to the proteins is claimed by certain people in the whey products business as an advantageous point of their product over others. How factual this is, is not quite clear to me. I gave more specifics about this, and why it is not a cause of undue concern for me at this time, 2 or 3 weeks ago in Msg # 20045. "The contents of the dairy product" (i.e. the sulphurated proteins) do matter and they are not "just a delivery vehicle to deliver FO". These proteins are of great importance for the di-polarity that is required between the cell interior and its membrane. Your comparison to making whipped cream is not applicable because there is a very different principle involved. By whipping cream, you force air bubbles into the cream and thereby fluff it up. You choose a beater or beater attachment that will force maximum air into the cream. By incorporating air into it, the surface volume of the cream increases, and thereby the aromatic quality intensifies. This fat-air bubble structure builds up slowly to a maximum and then breaks down rapidly when you mix it beyond that point as it then turns into butter. With fo/cc you don't want air bubbles beaten into the mixture (even though some of it is unavoidable), you want to bond highly unsaturated fatty acids to proteins. Overmixing does not seem to break down that bond. Wilhelm ----- Original Message -----
From: Barb To: fso Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2004 7:29 AM Subject: [FlaxSeedOil2] Sandra's post on mixing flaxseed oil: mixer/blender 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'. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Re: (unknown)
Wilhelm Hansen
Good question MJM.
Dr.Budwig does not recommend keeping the fo/cc mixture, or any prepared food for that matter, till the next day or the next meal. Everything is to be eaten as fresh as possible. One exception is Oleolux which can be stored for a number of days because the coconut oil protects the FO with which it is combined. I know with Muesli it is easy because you mix 3 tblsp FO with 6 tbslp CC plus the other ingredients, eat it and that is the end of it. Whereas with "mayonnaise" and the "spread" you would like to mix some of it for the next meal(s) as well. Keep in mind that any food that you make without preservatives begins declining shortly after you prepare it without you noticing it - until at some point it tastes "off" or rancid or is moldy. Wilhelm How long will mixtures last if made in advance: 1. fo/cc 2. mayonnaise 3. spread Thanks MJM |

Re: Low fat cottage cheese
Wilhelm Hansen
Terry,
I don't know whether it is important to eat the Muesli in the morning instead of later in the day - morning is what Dr.Budwig recommends. I know one woman who takes it early afternoon. I take it in the morning as per Dr.Budwig. If I had to make up some reasons, I would say that taking it in the morning makes sense because: Muesli is eaten with fruit and morning is a good time for it. Muesli starts off the day nicely with the right nutrients and an energy boost. For those who need more FO than the 3 tblsp in Muesli, it provides the opportunity to have more fo/cc at lunch (as Dr.Budwig recommends) or later in the day. Wilhelm Wilhelm: How important do you think it is that the Meusli be taken in the morning? I often take mine either mid-morning or at lunch (various job/home factors make it much more convenient to take it then). Thanks, Terry |

Charles,
I went to Swansons and only non high lignan I could find was item #SWE003. Is this the item you are using? The list of ingredients were as follows "Proprietary Antioxidant blend (Rosemary, mixed tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate, citric acid). Those individual ingredients are not necessarily bad but concerned what it may do to the oil. However it would seem that it did not hurt you but had great success and quickly. Did you make any other changes in your diet like avoiding meat, etc? Nelson --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "sunfish117" <carp43@m...> wrote: is.

See: Onion and garlic poisoning Onions and garlic are other dangerous food ingredients that cause sickness in dogs, cats and also livestock. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop hemolytic anemia, where the pet's red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. At first, pets affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. They will show no interest in food and will be dull and weak. The red pigment from the burst blood cells appears in an affected animal?s urine and it becomes breathless. The breathlessness occurs because the red blood cells that carry oxygen through the body are reduced in number. The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. Onion poisoning can occur with a single ingestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containing small amounts of onion. A single meal of 600 to 800 grams of raw onion can be dangerous whereas a ten-kilogram dog, fed 150 grams of onion for several days, is also likely to develop anemia. The condition improves once the dog is prevented from eating any further onion While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness.

Flaxseed oil should taste like linseed oil because that is what it is.

Commercial linseed oil has chemicals added to preserve it and should never never never be used as food. I buy certified organic oil from Swansons for around $17.00 a quart including shipping. I buy it plain and add ground flax seed to it when I mix focc. The price per 16 oz bottle is actually $6.90. I buy 3 bottles at a time and put them immediately in the refrigerator.
