Hi Jeanette

Please keep us posted as I have a similar history.

From: faith72000
I had colon surgery re-section & one of 8 lymph nodes was malignant & removed...The UCLA dr said I am considered 70% cured & would raise to 80% w/chemo. I said 10% did not mean much to me but he said it does to them. I chose BP instead & am now wondering if the diet is okay if I am 70% cured. Since BP stimulates tumor growth what if I have no tumor? I am doing the protocol with the exception of the sauerkraut juice. I juice carrots, beets etc daily. I am doing the other juices but not daily yet...All this to say I wonder if I should be on the strict BP diet? My blood test came out good but said I do need vit D (800Iu's)a day. I am getting 20 min to 1/2 hr sun a day. I am going in for a ct scan soon, the 1st one since surgery. All other pre-surgery scans showed no cancer but I am aware surgery can cause it to spread.....

Hi All,

Yesterday I forgot to put my flax oil away after my lunch dose. I didn't
find it until some hours later, and it was a warm afternoon. I don't know
what "rancid" would taste like ... it does seem more bitter to me but I'm
not sure, since I usually only taste it in the FO/CC mix. I've heard flax
oil goes "bad" very fast ... what do you think?

I have a new order arriving tomorrow. That means a day without FO/CC. But
that seems better than using oil that may be rancid.

Your opinions appreciated!

I've read on this group that the BP causes tumors to grow. Is this true and
is this a good thing? I've noticed that there's a sort of disfiguring going
on with me and I'm wondering is the tumor growing. I've read so much and I'm
still researching but there's only so much time in the day, plus I've been
told to limit my use of the computer because of radiation.

Oops!!!!!!!!!!! Should I be embarrassed, or is much/most of this information true to your knowledge, even if not from Johns Hopkins? Thanks, Lynne

It's good information whether it's from John Hopkins or not.
It's too bad that JH isn't offering this kind of update.
Thanks for clarifying, Loretta.

Margaret,
Thank you so very much for posting this information. I have sent it to all of my friends and loved ones to either serve as a timely reminder of what they already know, or to educate them as to what can be done to help in the prevention department against this horrible dis......ease of cancer.
Gratefully, Lynne

Can anyone add to this comment that I found in an article:

"some people with diabetes lack the ability to efficiently convert ALA to a
form of omega-3 fatty acids that the body can use readily.[DHA and EPA ]"

Diabetes

ALA (from flaxseed, for example) may not have the same benefit as DHA and
EPA because some people with diabetes lack the ability to efficiently
convert ALA to a form of omega-3 fatty acids that the body can use readily.

My husband has myeloma, was diagnosed in March. He has followed a combination of drug therapy (thalidomide and dexamethasone) and the Gerson protocol, which is somewhat similar to the Budwig protocol. (Since Gerson allows quark and flax oil, we mix them together as on the Budwig protocol.)

At the present time he is in complete remission which has sort of surprised our doctor. My husband also takes 8 grams of curcumin a day, preceded by quercetin (to increase bioavailability) and accompanied by fish oil and digestive enzymes.

I know this is a Budwig group, and we're not exactly following that protocol (I only just joined as I want to learn more) but something we are doing is working. I am interested in learning more about BP
and seeing if it is warranted to make changes in what we are doing now.

She cannot tolerate bovine dairy products at all. She tried lactase pills,
yogurt cheese, kefir cheese, etc. Cannot afford goat milk on a regular
basis, so she didn't try it. She's very discouraged, because she's out of
allopathic options. Gerson is way too difficult for her, and not nearly as
successful.

I received this today from a friend. She has cancer and is going the
medical route (she is a nurse and that is where her comfort level is
right now). She has had a ho-hum attitude when Syd and I have told her
about the Budwig Protocol and Diet. I cannot wait to talk to her and
see if she wants more information on BP now that she has read this report.

It is exciting to see someone allign their thinking with Dr. Budwig -
I feel sure this report will help some (like our friend) be more
comfortable with BP.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be
destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies , changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone
marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like
liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce
tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence
the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and
become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites .

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one
important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is
harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses
but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make
it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is
acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,
nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green
tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins
and heavy metal s in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and
positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,
unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic
environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to
relax and enjoy life.

15. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL, U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as
well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins
are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your
plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the
plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle
Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked
about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases
dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or
ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only
without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and
soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in
something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer
to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while
ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam
containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as
dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the
food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt
out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Thanks for the help, Melissa. Well the nurse practitioner doesn't seem to be taking my mets into consideration but she also tried to get me to take estrogen at one point so I am taking everything with a grain of salt.

As for my doctor - since I last tried chemo and, after two months, am still trying to recover, I haven't gone back to the oncologist. I am just going to do the Budwig and hope for the best.

Unlike other people who have complained about weight gain, I am losing weight and wonder if any one else has had this problem in the first months of the diet. I have been on the diet for about a month and a half and so far no good changes.....am I being impatient?

Sooooooooo grateful for this chat!

Hi guys,
Anyone here had any experince with multiple myeloma. Another friend
in need has it. She is down to 89lbs, had several conventional
treatments. Time is short, anyone here dealt with that condition?

I am always so impressed with the care, love and knowledge here.

TO JCastron:

The material I read - a long time ago - stated that a
deficiency of hydrochloric acid induced cancer and
inferred that correction of the hydrochloric acid
deficiency tended towards cure.

The information was not from a top research journal
but I have found, over years that this did not
necessarily imply error.

From a layman's nuritional standpoint logic may well
indicate that dietary deficiencies could well result
from insufficient hydrochloric acid as well as
tendency to infection including possible cancer.

I was talking about hydrochloric acid deficiency as
being possible causitive. Beets may be curative
according to some.

How does BP stimulate tumor growth?

Jeanette,

I do not think it is unusual for doctors to disagree. I went to a radiation oncologist AND a medical oncologist. One said I would need neither chemo or radiation following surgery but did recommend hormone therapy and the other said that I would definitely need both chemo and radiation in addition to hormone therapy. The second one said that he was certain I had misunderstood the first one. I know that I did not. My husband is a medical professional and was at both appointments and heard exactly what was said. I was so annoyed that I didn't do any of it - not even the surgery.

The PET I had done a year ago right after diagnosis showed no mets. Now a year after biopsies a CT scan shows possible mets. I believe that surgery and biopsies can promote metastasis.

I certainly don't think that there is any chance that BP is going to make you worse or cause any sort of problems. It can only help.

And, yes, God is in control . . .

Hi all,
As I read the posts I realize how little I know about my condition &
the terms & stats that are used by others discussing their
condition, so here are my questions. I had colon surgery re-section &
one of 8 lymph nodes was malignant & removed.
My surgeon TOLD ME no radiation was necessary but recommended chemo
as standard treatment after colon surgery with lymph node
involvement. The report to the radiation onc must read otherwise
since he recommends radiation due to the surgeon's report. I called
my surgeon & again he said 'no radiation necessary,' so the radiation
onc called my surgeon & said I must have missunderstood him (which I
know I did not). A 2nd opinion Dr at UCLA said I need chemo, not
radiation judging by results of a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
w/Endoscopic Ultrasound (he did not review the CD's of my scans &
based his opinion on the Endoscopic Ultrasound only). Had the tumor
been lower in the colon it would be considered colorectal & radiation
would be prudent. He (the ultrasound dr. marked (tattood) the spot
for the Surgeon & said to treat as colon cancer. The UCLA dr said I
am considered 70% cured & would raise to 80% w/chemo. I said 10% did
not mean much to me but he said it does to them.

I chose BP instead & am now wondering if the diet is okay if I am 70% cured. Since BP stimulates tumor growth what if I have no tumor? I am doing the protocol with the exception of the sauerkraut juice. I juice carrots, beets etc daily. I am doing the other juices but not daily yet. I plan on calling my surgeon & finding out why he told me one thing & the report to the rad onc evidently say's something else. All this to say I wonder if I should be on the strict BP diet?

My blood test came out good but said I do need vit D (800Iu's)a day.
I am getting 20 min to 1/2 hr sun a day. I am going in for a ct scan
soon, the 1st one since surgery. All other pre-surgery scans showed
no cancer but I am aware surgery can cause it to spread. I hope this
make's sense since I'm doing it in a hurry. Best wishes & prayers to
all on this site. God is still in control. Jeanette

Denise sez:

Melissa, I am still taking progesterone. I am not sure what you mean
when you say 'I still believe that Progesterone is protective against
BP'

Denise, what I said was that I believe progesterone is protective
against bc ... breast cancer. However, BP recommends against all
hormones ... Sandra am I correct here?

Do you have breast cancer? If so, was it ER/PR +? Have you read Dr
John Lee's "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Breast Cancer?"
It talks about how progesterone fills receptors to protect against
estrogen-sensitive cancers ... and prevents estrogen dominance. I
don't know anything about progesterone preventing cell splitting ...
where did you find that? Interesting ...

Melissa

What you describe could be from constipation causing a tear when trying to
eliminate, anal fissure(s) or hemorrhoids (sometimes they are internal and
we don't even know we have them). If it was more like bloody tissue/mucous
it could be mucous from the intestines (the intestines produce mucous), anal
fissure, or bloody mucous from the vaginal area that may have dropped and
"attached" to the stool once it came out.

Mucous in the stool isn't necessarily a sign of concern. Since mucous serves
to protect the digestive system, it is not unusual to find increased amounts
of mucous when suffering from constipation or diarrhea. If you produce
mucous for more than a few weeks or if it's accompanied by bleeding, you
should consider consulting a healthcare practitioner specializing in
digestive disorders as soon as possible. Having mucous in stool for a
prolonged period of time can indicate a more serious underlying condition or
digestive disorder.

An unusual foul odor along with the mucous can indicate an infection in the
bowels. This is particularly true if the stool is loose. Anal fissures and
bowel obstructions can also cause increased mucous production.

You may want to just watch to see if it happens again. Having had colon
cancer I can certainly understand the concern. What I found kind of weird
with my colon cancer is that not one time did I ever see any blood/mucous in
my stool and mine was Stage III when diagnosed. This is one reason why
colon cancer is usually not diagnosed until it has reached the later stages
as symptoms are usually none or very minimal.

The following is some very good information about the color of stools.

The Relationship between Food and Bile Production

The color of a person's stool depends upon what he or she eats and the
amount of bile combined with it in digestive system. The purpose of this
yellow-green fluid is to help break down fats. The movement of the bile
pigments through the gastrointestinal tract causes a chemical alteration,
which then causes the pigments to change from green to brown. If your stool
color is bright red or black, consult your physician promptly as this can
indicate blood in the stool.

Changes in Stool Color

Any change in bowel habits (indicated by the color, texture, or consistency)
should be brought to your doctor's attention. It's not unusual to experience
occasional instances of diarrhea, constipation, or a strange color of the
stool; but if it happens often, it may be due to a serious condition.

Sometimes, a certain food or medication causes these changes to occur but
that isn't always the case. Black or red stools can sometimes mean you have
internal bleeding somewhere within the gastrointestinal tract.

Various Colors of Stool and What They Mean

Each of the following stool colors can result from the factors indicated
below them:

Black Stools:

Acid in the blood
Blood that originated higher up in the digestive tract
Excessive iron
Use of medications containing bismuth
Over-consumption of black licorice (or other black foods)
Eating excessive amounts of greens (such as spinach)
Eating excessive amounts of blueberries
Eating too many aspirin (this can burn ulcers in the stomach's lining)
Consumption of other dark foods (such as chocolate sandwich cookies)

Red Stools:

Blood in the stools (from internal injury)
Blood from hemorrhoids
Consumption of foods containing red dyes (gelatin, popsicles, or flavored
drink mixes)
Consumption of large amounts of tomato juice or soup
Consumption of an excessive amount of beets

Pale or Clay-Colored Stools:

Insufficient amount of bile salt
Use of antacids containing aluminum hydroxide
Presence of barium (possibly from a recent barium enema test)
Hepatitis

Green Stools:

Excessive amounts of green, leafy vegetables
Presence of green or purple food coloring
Consumption of iron supplements
Rapid change in transit time within the colon

Orange Stools:

Some medications
Consumption of foods that are high in beta carotene

Stool Colors of Concern

You should notify your physician if a change in stool color is not the
result of something you ate or is accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea,
constipation, weakness, or dizziness.

Stool color that is non-dietary or non-medicine related can be caused by a
number of other conditions, some serious and some minor in nature. These
conditions include:

Pale or Gray Stool - resulting from insufficient bile output. This
diminished yield may be stemming from the presence of Choecystitis,
gallstones, giardia parasitic infection, hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or
cirrhosis of the liver.

Yellow Stool - resulting from food passing through the digestive tract too
quickly. People who have GERD (acid reflux disease) often produce yellow
bowel movements. An insufficient amount of bile may also cause the problem.
If the yellow stool color appears suddenly, a bacterial infection in the
intestines may be the reason.

Black Stool - indicating bleeding in the upper digestive tract or other
conditions (duodenal or gastric ulcer, esophageal varices, a Mallory Weiss
tear commonly associated with alcoholism, or gastritis). Black stool may
also occur if you are chronically constipated due to the fermentation of
toxic waste matter.

Bright Red Stool - caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, Diverticulitis,
colon cancer, and Ulcerative Colitis.
