Anybody in Ilinois/Peoria area interested in purchasing raw goat's milk?
breathedeepnow
I am not selling it. I am just letting list members know that I have
been buying raw goat's milk from a neighbor of mine and have found it excellent for my digestive system. The neighbor has been having a little surplus lately, so if someone on this list is near Peoria, Illinois---even more specifically, Eureka or Roanoake, Illinois---and wants to buy some raw goat's milk, please send me a private email. The supply is very limited. It is likely only one person from the list will be able to get any, and I don't know how long the supply will last. Thanks, Elliot |

I would totally agree, Elliot. Really, with most people (I know
many will disagree) I think it is wise to ease into the changes that are needed to follow Budwig. But especially for someone who is elderly. I just figured even if she gets some flaxseed oil mixture and organic foods in her she'll probably be better off. :) Kim --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "breathedeepnow" <aug20@m...> wrote: Thanks, Kim!might give list members a bit of a warning about too quickly switchingthe diet of an elderly person from mainly cooked, processed, low bulk,high carbohydrate foods to a lot more raw, unprocessed, high bulk, lowwithin just a couple of days she was having stomach cramps and diarrhea.Her digestive system simply could not take such a sudden change.

Thanks, Kim!
Actually, with regard to my mother eating healthfully here, I might give list members a bit of a warning about too quickly switching the diet of an elderly person from mainly cooked, processed, low bulk, high carbohydrate foods to a lot more raw, unprocessed, high bulk, low carbohydrate foods. We did that with my mom when she came to visit last year, and within just a couple of days she was having stomach cramps and diarrhea. Her digestive system simply could not take such a sudden change. We had to back up some---giving her more cooked, processed stuff, and only gradually introducing Budwig-type foods. Even dogs that are used to eating one brand of dog food will get sick if one suddenly switches brands. One actually has to mix a little of the new brand into the old so as to wean the dog's digestive system off the old and onto the new. |

Hi Elliot..
I'm sorry to hear that your mom had to go into the hospital and that she is having a rough time right now. Thankfully (like you said) they will leave her ALONE. I think it's great that you are planning on having her come and stay with you. Your eating/living habits can only have a positive effect on her health. Also sorry to hear you're dealing with bronchitis :( That's no fun... but I'm SO GLAD to hear the tumor has not grown! Keep up the good work. You're obviously on the right path.

Bad news/Good news about my mother's and my health
breathedeepnow
First, about my 83-year-old mom:
The bad news is that she was admitted to the hospital last week because of vomiting, stomach pain and blood in her stool. This week, the doctors ascertained that she has squamous cell cancer in her lymph system. They have not yet been able to track down where the pain is coming from, and she has had trouble eating anything and keeping it down. My mother will never be able to follow the Budwig Protocol herself---she lives 1000 miles away from me, and she has no interest in alternative medicine. But the good news is that my mother, my sister, the doctors and I all agree that at 83, my mother should not be subjected to chemo"therapy," radiation or serious surgery. The doctors have said they have no idea how long she might live with the cancer in her body- --could be a decade or more. So I am deeply thankful that no one is going to clobber my mother's immune system, and that she will be allowed to enjoy her remaining years in the best health she can. My wife and I have been adding a bedroom onto our garage for her, and as soon as she gets out of the hospital, we are going to get here however we can, and she is going to remain with and be taken care of by us and by nurses we hire. The bad news in my case is that the bronchitis flared up again, causing me to have to take to my bed in order to keep from being laid up for a week or two. The good news is that the tumor in my neck is not growing, and that I am actually feeling in good over-all health. Blessed wishes to all, Elliot |

I didn't think it would be THAT bad... It even says(paraphrased) in Genesis that seeds and fruits and things growing from trees and bushes are to be as meat for man. I eat some meat, but I do try to do 75% veg/fruit to 25% meat, poultry, fish, and I buy those items organic or wild. Here on this list I have met people who are aware of the fact that there is great value in eating healthfully(eliminating white flour/white sugar, etc, etc)and of the fact that a diagnosis of cancer is not at all a "death sentence." It grieves me sorely that so many people are so thoroughly ignorant or cavalier about what they eat and drink, and that they are so wholly dependent on what mainstream MD's tell them to do about degenerative dis-ease. Let's do our best to educate as many as we can that there is another, healthier way of living!

Re: beginner questions
Thank you for your encouragement.
You are correct that cancer is a lifestyle change. I think the healthiest response is "OK, life has changed, what is the best way for me to live now?" But western medicine has taught us that sickness is something that happens to us through no "fault" of our own, so there's nothing lifestyle-wise we can do to overcome it. As a result, people like my friend fall into fatalism and depression instead of fighting. The ONLY reason I have a chance of being listened to is because the doctors have given up. I'm so glad to hear you are a fighter and are seeing progress as a result! I wish for you the joy of moving into perfect health.

Elliot, how are you doing?
Cheryl MacConnell
Elliot, I haven't been keeping up with the messages lately, so I apologize if I missed an update from you. I scanned the archived messages but didn't find anything, so I thought I'd ask on the list. How are you doing? I think of you often and hope for you to have a quick and complete recovery. What treatment method did you decide to go with? Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you'll be a part of this list for many years (decades) to come. Blessings, Cheryl

people bring - lots of white flour noodles and canned meat, few veggies. But I'm trying to help a friend. I have to work within their limits, or my suggestions will be ignored. I protested her giving him peach pie - he eats nothing, so pie was his only food that meal and he's diabetic! She's so glad he was willing to eat something that she rationalized the peaches have nutrition. He's been taking insulin shots for years and insists in sugared desserts, so it's not like they have a mind-set of working for health! There is so little time, but telling an overstressed woman to tell her church friends their food is no good they have to cook differently - no way she's going to be willing to appear ungrateful like that. I'm trying to find a balance between ideal and real world that has a chance of working AND of being believed, when I'm nobody "believable" - not a doctor, no personal experience with fo/cc, nothing but ideas I've run into on the web in the past week and my own certainty that it's not over until the funeral. If I can start by getting him to eat some fo/cc every day, then try to get some of the church women together and discuss foods, then try to help find homes for some of the dozen cats (all that particulation in the air can't be healthy) - one step at a time, one new thing at a time they might be willing to try. But I've got a job of my own, and I'm headed out of town for a few weeks, I can't babysit their lifestyle. If y'all are telling me it's all or nothing, I might as well save my energy. There's no way he's going to stop asking for peach pie just because I say so. He MIGHT be willing to add fo/cc to humor me. That's probably all I can do. Is it not worth even trying, if that's all?

Re: tolerance issues?
breathedeepnow
Liz, the symptoms of too much flax oil are "good" ones, in that they
are, to the best of my knowledge, stomach cramps and diarrhea. By "good" I mean that the body reacts to over-eating of flax oil as it would many other non-toxic foods, causing a person no harm. But Liz, when you or someone else comes out with something like this, we would appreciate it if you would identify the source. Dr. Budwig DID NOT SAY to "take as much fo/cc as your body can tolerate." Wilhelm has, several times, put the amount in terms of how much fo/cc to how many pounds of body weight. Better yet, rather than identify the source, ignore such stuff unless you find it in our files section. THIS LIST IS, to my knowledge, THE BEST AND MOST AUTHORITATIVE PLACE to learn about the Budwig Protocol, because THE INFORMATION POSTED IN OUR FILES COMES DIRECTLY FROM DR. BUDWIG'S WRITINGS, AS TRANSLATED FAITHFULLY BY WILHELM, our moderator. To do internet searches and to find non-verified stuff such as "flax oil causes allergies," "flax oil can be toxic," "flax oil causes depression," "one should eat as much fo/cc as one can tolerate" is a fruitless waste of time. What one needs to do to properly follow the Budwig Protocol is to 1)READ the files section about the protocol thoroughly. 2)BUY the "Oil Protein Cookbook" authored by Dr. Budwig. 3)STOP surfing the internet about the flax oil, where you will find all manner of strange stuff said about it. 4)CONFINE questions to those about how best to follow the Protocol AS LAID OUT BY Dr. Budwig. Best wishes, Elliot |
Re: Eldi R Oil
Kim
Hi Kathryn...
The explanation of Eldi oils is in the files. Here's the link (don't know if the link is too long to work here): 20Files%20-%20Budwig%20Protocol%20/ But anyway, if you click on 'files' and then click on '4 - FSO2 Files -Budwig Protocol' you'll see another link for explanations regarding the Eldi oils. Some really good info in those files. Any new members who haven't checked it out yet, I would strongly suggest you do so. It's not the empty folder-deal you find with many other yahoo groups. Wilhelm has filled it with easy to understand info. Kim --- In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "mkathryn59" <mkathryn59@y...> wrote: Sorry I don't know, but what is Eldi R Oil? |
Re: beginner questions
Suzana Cvetanovic
Dear Liz,
When one has cancer he has already faced a major change in his life style. Having three, four rounds of chemo is one change, surgery is a change too. One can not do his normal routine things as he was doing - change. And if someone chooses the alternative way he has to do some changes, but willingly, knowing this changes can make his life better, less suffer. I got cancer - lost job. I chose alternative - lost doctor. And I was not ready for more major changes. I started only with raw food, because I never cooked and it was the easiest way for me - lazy and depressed. Luckily, Budwig diet includes raw food, so when I discovered her work and this group I included FO/CC. After two weeks I found out about ground flax seeds. After some time I found out about the importance of the sun. Three weeks ago I got J.B. books. One week ago I had CT and two horrible spots on my right lung disappeared. I know it is not over, but it gives me optimism. And I am not depressed anymore. So, your friend does not have to do these major changes all at once. He can start with FO/CC+ground flax seed. I know it is much easier to eat already prepared food. Every time I see someone eating "normally" I feel "hungry". I still remember the taste, but I am not really hungry. Preparing raw food dishes is not real cooking - at least not for me. And it is not so expensive, OK, compared with gift it is; but if it is a matter of health/life, little expenses are not much. I believe that the church would give to your friends raw food as well, if the situation would be explained.

Lower pesticide exposure by 90 percent by following these guidlines!
breathedeepnow
I do not have a link to this information. My wife recently received
it at a weight-watchers-type meeting. Here is a summary of the leaflet she was given: The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit advocacy group, recently released the results of a 2003 study of pesticide levels in American produce, which found that we can lower our pesticide exposure 90 percent if we avoid the 12 conventionally-grown, most pesticide- containing/pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables and buy the 12 conventionally-grown least pesticide-containing/pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables. Of course buy organic according to availability and according to the state of your finances, but if you need to buy conventionally-grown produce, then here are the 12 most contaminated(1 being most and 12 being least)and the 12 least contaminated(1 being least and 12 being most)conventionally grown fruits and vegetables: Most contaminated: 1. Peaches 2. Strawberries 3. Apples 4. Spinach 5. Nectarines 6. Celery 7. Pears 8. Cherries 9. Potatoes 10. Sweet Bell Pepper 11. Raspberries 12. Imported Grapes Least contaminated: 1. Sweet corn 2. Avocados 3. Pineapples 4. Cauliflower 5. Mangoes 6. Sweet Peas 7. Asparagus 8. Onions 9. Broccoli 10. Bananas 11. Kiwis 12. Papayas |
Re: beginner questions

Liz, I'm concerned about your comment.
You wrote: "Easier to get someone to add a lot of fo/cc to their otherwise normal life style than ask them to drive 2 hours to the nearest organic food store every day and take up cooking for the first time in their life instead of eating the foods the church people bring." If the foods the church people bring are anything like what the church people around here would bring, and there is no reason to suppose they would not be, then we are talking about white flour, white sugar, lots of processed foods, potato chips, partially hydrogenated fats, store-bought juices, non-organic meat and poultry, (very probably pork and ham), canned vegetables, "Cool Whip" ect, etc...more than enough to set the Budwig Protocol waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. Would be far better to purchase the "Oil Protein Cookbook" and to get a couple of those nice church people---maybe widows or people without children---to prepare meals out of it. They would learn something about healthful eating, and it would only be 2-3 months before signs of improvement began to show. You ARE what you eat, and if you eat junk instead of healthful stuff, then your health will be junky.
