thing and expecting a different result? Still, there's an art to figuring out which few lifestyle changes are likely to a big effect on a specific individual, instead of insisting someone simultaneously change everything - diet, clothes, thought patterns, where they live, pets, jobs, friends, soaps - even though each of these can be negatively affecting someone. 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. Ya gotta find the few changes that work well, because suggesting too many changes can be so overwhelming the result is people give up without trying anything. Liz major lifestyle changes are hard to do, easierThat is quite normal. You are absolutely right that major lifestyle |
Re: Quick Reference Review Request - Proposal
Neenah,
It is truly encouraging to hear such success stories!! I was just thinking how much raw data this group contains! People try on their own and some succeed some don't. Each person got cancer for different reasons. May be we could try to create a book based on findings of this group? The book could include all details of each case, it could include cases when people succeeded and cases when people failed or couldn't make it work for them. We could include all data from the very beginning, like what was their originally lifestyle, what foods they usually ate, excercise, sun exposure, etc. We could also include any symptoms that started showing up during the last year before diagnosis, like their hair started going grey, or nails started breaking, etc. Then we could include the journal of what people have tried and what their tests showed. Each case would be different but at then end they all would have some things in common. There are 1379 member in this group and this group was created 4 years ago. I am sure some of us would have experiences to share... That way we could bring together all the raw data, all the findings and someone smart could analysize the results and find out solutions. We could print such a book of findings and call it "FlaxSeedOil2". We could donate the proceedings to the research and development of Budwig diet, or alternative medicine in general and we could certainly make cancer patients read the book and be informed as Neenah proposes. What say you...? Karine |
Re: Chemicals in daily life
Vanessa,
If you were exposed to a lot of chemicals, cleaning the house from it may not be enough. May be you should also clean up your body cells from the chemical that caused cancer? I don't know how you can do it, but I believe there are a few detoxifying theories. Another thought that came to my mind is that basically you took a lot of essencial fats but not enough sulfur proteins to bind with?? And that created an inbalance in your body? In which case you should try to fix that inbalance by really balancing flaxoil with cottage cheese or some other sulphur source like yogurt? I am just thinking out loud. Also, if you were on heavy beans, legumes, etc diet and it failed you may be you should consider to do some diet changes? I think you should get to the core of your problem, why your body, cells failed you and get to the root cause. Once you fix the root cause then the treatment would work much more efficiently I think. It makes sense to understand what is the purpose of each food selected in JB diet and to include all "weapons" involved... Sorry, may be my thoughts don't make much sense but I still thought to tell you. Wish you a great victory! Karine |

Re: too much?

Yes, prednisone, in particular, can affect mood. I do not think flax
oil is particularly noted for doing so, though. And since we were originally talking about a brain tumor on this thread, I would think the brain tumor itself could be far more responsible for mood changes than flax oil. |
Translations to French
Hello,
It is my first post on this group. I have discovered Dr Budwig's work and this group two years ago, and ordered her two books in English. As French-speaking, I found nothing from Dr Budwig's work in French, unless recipes of "Cr¨¨me Budwig", sometimes fanciful(FO replaced by sunflower oil, for example, probably because FO is forbidden in France). So, I started to translate some files and excerpts from her books to French. You can find them in 'Files' F3 F5 F9. Thanks to all, especially Rebecca and Wilhelm. Luc Below, an explanation in French. J'ai d¨¦couvert les recherches du Dr Johanna Budwig il y a deux ans et depuis, je me suis passionn¨¦ pour son travail; sans parler explicitement des om¨¦gas 3 (le mot n'existait pas), elle avait d¨¦couvert leurs bienfaits, il y a pr¨¨s de 50 ans! Il semble que, tout ¨¤ coup, tout le monde s'accorde aujourd'hui pour souligner les m¨¦faits des graisses hydrog¨¦n¨¦es (trans-fats) sur le coeur et l'organisme; le Dr Budwig le proclamait d¨¨s les ann¨¦es 50. Il y a quelques mois, j'ai lu "Gu¨¦rir(le stress, l'anxi¨¦t¨¦ et la d¨¦pression sans m¨¦dicaments ni psychanalyse)" de David Servan-Schreiber, publi¨¦ en 2003; le chapitre 9 est intitul¨¦ : "La r¨¦volution des om¨¦ga-3: comment nourrir le cerveau ¨¦motionnel"; cette r¨¦volution, le dr Budwig la menait il y a 50 ans: si vous lisez "Flax oil as a true aid...", vous constaterez qu'elle soulignait explicitement les bienfaits de l'huile de lin sur le stress, en 1959. Sans parler des bienfaits de l'ail, de l'oignon, des l¨¦gumes frais, des noix(au sens large), des ¨¦pices dont elle fait grand usage dans ses recettes. Comme, malgr¨¦ une recherche intensive sur Internet, je n'ai pratiquement rien trouv¨¦ sur cette femme extraordinaire, sinon des recettes de "cr¨¨me Budwig", parfois fantaisistes (l'huile de linette* ¨¦tant remplac¨¦es par de l'huile de tournesol, p.ex., probablement parce que l'huile de lin ¨¤ usage alimentaire est interdite en France; cependant il faut rendre hommage ici au Dr Catherine Kousmine), que ses ouvrages n'existent pas en fran?ais et comme ce groupe m'a fourni indirectement pas mal d'information, et qu'il semble s'y trouver quelques francophones, j'ai essay¨¦ de traduire certains fichiers de Wilhelm et certains extraits des deux livres. Ils sont mis en ligne sous 'Files' F3 F5 F9 Suivant le temps dont je dispose (et mon courage), j'essaierai d'¨¦toffer; et s'il se trouve quelqu'un pour m'aider, tant mieux! Il y a tr¨¨s certainement des approximations et des contresens. Mais je ne suis pas traducteur professionnel et, de plus, il s'agit d'un texte traduit de l'allemand en anglais (le texte anglais comportant sans doute d¨¦j¨¤ des approximations et des contresens). J'esp¨¨re disposer un jour de la version originale en allemand. Bonne lecture, Luc * en fran?ais, on utilise souvent "huile de linette(jeune lin)" pour ¨¦viter la confusion avec "l'huile de lin" industrielle. PS Deux liens o¨´ l'on cite Johanna Budwig : (mais l'huile de lin est remplac¨¦e par tournesol ou carthame) |

I can tell that in my case FO/CC did the opposite. I was prior to the Budwig regime very depressed but in few days after I started with FO/CC and the rest - fresh fruit, lot of vegetables etc. I noticed I am not depressed at all. I am also using 10 tablespoons a day. It does not harm me at all. Maybe something else makes you depressed? Suzana |
Re: How long does fo/cc keep?
W. Hansen
Dr. Budwig said to mix it fresh for each meal.
Wilhelm Can I mix up a week's worth at a time? Two day's worth? One day's worth in the morning? Cottage cheese and flax seed oil each keep for more than a week in the fridge, but I don't know if the mixture changes the keeping ability. Would be fun to have a week's mixture and just take a spoonful whenever the nibbles hit. Liz |

Re: too much?

Hi, Pat.
If you are taking flax oil with yoghurt, you must strain the yoghurt through cheese cloth or some other fine fabric in order to get it to a cottage cheese-like consistency. Otherwise, the proportions will not be right. Ten tablespoons may be too much. But who told you "too much flax oil" can cause depression? There have been so very many things of all kinds said about what flax oil can do. Also, are you eating fresh-ground flax seed? That needs to be part of the diet, and probably should take the place of some of the flax oil you are eating. About depression, I do not think depression just "happens." I think, in the majority of cases, there needs to be some emotional/psychological reason for depression to occur. Elliot |

too much?
patrickreardon
Anyone, Everyone,
I was just told that too much flaxoil can cause depression. I have been and am depressed (don't know exactly why). I take 10 tablespoons a day, 5 in the morning, with yoghrt and berries, 5 in the afternoon, pureed with cottage cheese and various greens. Is this too much? My health condition is a brain stem glioma that I want to shrink and eliminate. Thanks, Pat |
Re: Eldi R Oil
W. Hansen
Hi Esther and Kim,
I am glad Esther that you have such positive effect from the Eldi Oil. The feeling of well-being is probably partially because of the massaging action, but the main reason should be due to supplying the body with the essential fatty acids and other ingredients in Eldi Oil through the skin. That was the idea of it and that is reason for the warm shower... to open the pores for better penetration of the oil. Unfortunately only a few people go as far as ordering Eldi Oil for the extra punch it is claimed to give the Budwig Protocol. As Kim says, keep us posted, Wilhelm |
