Hi Paul,

You've come to the right place. The flax seed oil and cottage cheese
recipe, along with a selection of highly nutritious, healing vegetarian
food, is part of Dr. Johanna Budwig's Protocol which also includes
sunlight therapy and stress reduction. I hope by now you have read the
emails that you received automatically upon joining this group. One
is "The Introduction to the Budwig Protocol" that offers a good outline
of the plan, and another email is filled with testimonials from our
members who are healing or have healed from cancer and other conditions
by following Dr. Budwig's methods. Our files are filled with more
information and many more testimonials. I hope your friend will join
us and tell us his experience. We will be glad to answer any questions
that he may have. In our files we even have recipes created by members
using Budwig recommended foods, so he will have plenty of healing foods
to choose. Also, Dr. Budwig has a recipe book, The Oil-Protein Diet
Cookbook. Click here for the files section:

If we are not under the care of a physician (onocologist) how can we

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cindy,

I don't know if I am especially fortunate, but my oncologist absolutely
respects my decision, never brings up chemo any more, and does any
diagnostic test I want. I've had appts with "the other kind" and I know how
harsh it can be. I hope you find one of "the good kind." Maybe the one you
have will be that one.

Trust your heart and your intelligence. Other people aren't living your life.

Best to you!

Angel

Cindy,
Stepping away from the mainstream is a hard thing to do until you
have committed to the decision. Fear is not what you should base your
decison on. Prayer and research are much better ways to decide.
The doctors are "practicing medicine" as they were taught, and are
required to do (as taught in medical schools that are often supported
[or funded by] by research dollars from the drug industry). They are
also taught how to state dismal facts so they sound encouraging (and
Oncologists, are extremely well practised here!). Some would like to
have more to offer, but can't. Others are looking at the "bottom
line," patient in chemo, money in pocket.
You do need to have someone to monitor the progress of the decisions
you and your husband make, but the decisions are not the doctors to
make, they are your husband's.
Most doctors are not encouraged to take nutrition (or understand it).
You have a greater understanding as a chef than most doctors do.
Budwig had several advanced degrees, was nominated for 6 or 7 Nobel
prizes for starters, but she also had a 50+ year history of
incredible sucesses with her protocol. Michael gave us some of her
background in this post

But you are not here because you have to be convinced of her
protocol. It is more likely because you both "feel" there is a better
way that your husband can survive this ordeal and want come out of it
without his health being so compromised (as traditional medicine
would cause). And there is! Many of us have "felt" the truth of this
protocol before we began to understand much of it. We know that food
can be a powerful tool regarding health. Our bodies were created in
such a way as to be able to overcome or adapt to problems if we will
take the time to help our bodies do this. This is what Budwig did so
well with...and she never sold out the truth for money. She
never "manipulated" the truth to get wealthy. I wish I could say the
drug companies held to the same high ideals!
I pray that you will both have the courage to stand up to the
scrutiny of choosing this path if this is where your heart and
intutition has lead you. I know without a doubt, you will find you
will be better and stronger for doing so. Confidence will come with
practice, after all, it is the same practice that makes the
Oncologist so convincing!
The "side effects" of Budwig are much more encouraging than the "side
effects" of chemo!
So many thoughts have come up while I have been writing this. I hope
I have not rambled too much or been to confusing. Most of all I hope
God will provide you with the peace and confidence you long for in
this journey. That will be my prayer for you both tonight.
Blessings.

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

Melanie,

Very well said! I couldn't have said it better myself.

I have stage IV breast cancer and I actually had an oncologist say to
me (when I was concerned about pain in my back some months after my
lumpectomy) "Well, breast cancer is breast cancer"! I was
dumbfounded. Well, the MRI showed 4 lesions in my back some months
after he made that statement.

One of the things that caused me to turn to alternative therapies

rather than to submit to conventional medicine was ignorant
statements like the one you mentioned by your oncologist. I was told
by a nurse at a reconstructive surgeon's office to just go ahead and
stop all nutritional supplements immediately (this was long before I
was into Budwig) because the doctor would not want me on them. IT'S
NOT HIS BODY. The breast surgeon gave me literature telling me to
eat high fat, high sugar foods because they wanted to make sure that
cancer patients DID NOT lose weight. I ended up doing no
conventional treatment at all - they annoyed me so badly with their
self-serving "knowledge." If they can keep you sick, then they can
keep on killing you with their "cures."

As far as fear - I chose alternative methods to AVOID unnecessary

fear. Everyone I know who has undergone conventional treatment for
cancer lives in constant fear that their cancer has returned. If I
had done the mastectomy, my palpable tumors would be gone, and I
would be running in constantly for scans to see if the cancer has
popped up anywhere else in my body just like all those other people I
know. I don't want to live that way. And we all know people who did
absolutely everything their conventional docs recommended who are D-E-
A-D.

There are a few people in my life who are pressuring me to "do

something" about my cancer. They act like they think I'm trying to
commit suicide or something. I have to remind myself that I am not
living my life to please other people. And, honestly, none of them
know what they would do if it happened to them. I never really
considered how I would respond to the news "you have breast cancer"
until it happened to me. Now I tell people that if they hear that I
have submitted to surgery, chemo, or radiation, they can just figure
that I've decided to go ahead and let them kill me. Most people I
talk to admire my decision, or, if they don't, they're too afraid of
me to say so!

I seem to have a gift to not be a worrier, so I don't want to

trivialize anyone else's fears, but I would just encourage you not to
waste your healing energy on fear or worry. Use the knowledge that
you have gained to proceed with confidence. When someone tells me
that they are worried about me, I say, "I don't need any more people
to worry about me, but please pray for me!"

Susan,
That is too good to just be a "By the Way"
Congratulations for the job well done! It is always great to hear
another sucess story and especially to see people not only outlive
their prognosis, but to be feeling better than when the prognosis was
given! Wonderful!
I am so glad to hear that you have been able to go 10 days without
coughing up more blood. That is exciting news as well! May your next
tests show no more tumors!
Keep up the great work. You are in the best of hands!
Continued blessings.

One thing I was wondering about: How long has it been since they checked the blood clot? Is it possible the clot could be gone now?? My sister in-law had a PE and was on medicine for a while and the clot went away. My thought is if it's gone, I would feel better about stopping the medecine while trying the BP.

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........

Cindy,
I, too, had similar experiences w/ oncologists and family members. I
found an oncologist that supported me in my choices. Also, family
members that think I'm not fighting this cancer because I'm not going
the conventional route--if they only realized how much time I spend
each day "fighting" this!! A friend told me to give this reply, "When
you have cancer, you can deal w/ yours as you see fit. I will deal w/
mine as I see fit."
I believe there are quite a few of us on this list that have an
oncologists, but are not doing the conventional. Ask your oncologist
if he would be willing to just monitor your husband. Ask some of the
alternative drs. in the area if they know of one that is sympathetic.
My oncologist, "who is alternatively minded", is known by some of the
alternative drs. in my metropolitan area. You'd be surprised at how
connected they are.
I, for one, look forward to hearing more of your creations w/ the
Budwig diet!!

Eric,
I have a Green Star. It is a twin gear juicer. At the time I
purchased it, 2 years ago, it had one the best ratings for getting the
most juice w/o losing enzymes (of the moderately priced juicers). I
am very happy w/ it. It doesn't take me long at all to
juice--certainly not 25-30 minutes! Try this website for lots of good
info on juicers:

Hope this helps,
Jan

As for the PET scan contrast, do you mean the injection or the liquid

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

I am doing alternative treatment for my stage 4 lung cancer. In 2
1/2 years it has not grown. I am not doing the Budwig diet but
believe in it entirely. Many people put into remission.
Onocologists like you to believe that you have to act on the chemo
RIGHT NOW or else. From research I find that you do indead have
time to decide on what alternative treatment that you think is right
for you. I have a friend, same age as me who went for conventional
treatment. Now going for extensive chemo 2x a week. She is very
sick from this, her face is so swollen that one can hardly recognize
her and she has lost almost all of her hair. I am doing well. The
bottomline is that everyone has to decide which treatment is best
for them. Good luck and God bless. Patricia in CA

Eggs are not in the protocol, Dr. Budwig said no animal fats [other

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.

Okay, Sandra - you can't blame me for trying! :) In my heart (and
brain), I know you are right. And maybe I am craving protein, although
I would think I am getting plenty on the BP.

And it is true, when you have not eaten something for a while,
sometimes you no longer want it - I really have no desire for sugar!!
Yeah!!

Susan

Thanks, Sandra, for your wonderful words of encouragement -- again!!
This protocol has truly saved my life, even though the first 27
months on it were sloppy. Now I am in compliance, or "by the book"
as I say and doing even better.

Having been there and done that, I would never ever again consider
chemo or radiation.

Again, thanks for your help!
