Because your brother is in the hospice program, he is probably on medications and morphine. Because Dr. Budwig recommended being free of chemicals and preservatives in order for her diet to work, I don't know how much effect the fo/cc can have for your brother. I have read that morphine interferes with digestion. Has he been able to eat the blended cottage cheese and flaxseed oil as recommended by the diet plan? If he can eat these foods as Dr. Budwig recommended, he would probably need to be ingesting all of the servings that she recommended, which would be 3 T. oil/6 cc with freshly ground flaxseeds and fresh fruit at breakfast, 2 T oil/4 cc at lunch with the salad, and another 3 T. oil/6 cc [same as breakfast] as a dessert or midafternoon snack, giving a total of 8 T flaxseed oil mixed with cc. This is the way she describes the diet for the unwell in her Oil- Protein book. As sick as your brother is, I wonder whether he has been able to swallow and absorb this much food. Is this the diet he has been on? Maybe the mixture could be made into a smoothie so that he could drink it. That's all I can tell you at this point. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hi Vanessa,are there substitutes for the cottage cheese? > i read that there If you have ordered Dr. Budwig's two books, you will see in "Flax Oil as a True Aid..." that the flax oil is blended with cottage cheese or quark so that it is combined with a sulfur protein and can become water soluable, allowing it to be absorbed by the cells of the body more readily. That's why it needs to be blended until no oil is shown as being separated from the cottage cheese. So, you couldn't get that water soluable condition with a substitute for cc or quark. There is a lot of mis-information on the web by people who haven't followed what Dr. Budwig says in her books. Vanessa, you mentioned have a Whole Foods Market near you. They haveso anyhow -since i was nursing when diagnosed too, i have reallydeveloped a fear of milk and dairy products, which, organic or not Horizon brand cottage cheese, which is organic, and states that it has no antibiotic, growth hormones or pesticides from the cows. Of course, the ideal would be to get raw milk from an organic farmer and make your own cottage cheese, which I think some people on this list do, but most of us have to do the next best thing. The point is that you can get a product that is as good as possible. Since Dr. Budwig's diet has healed many people of cancer, as you can read in the files of testimonials, the cottage cheese is obviously not dangerous to one's health, instead it is healing when used with the flaxseed oil. Best wishes, Sandra |

He is a true gentleman and honestly the very best moderator one can ever hope for. Without his wonderful guidance many of us would be totally lost. You can ask Wilhelm anything and he is always more than willing to help and respond where possible. I can understand your fear and believe me, I know what you are going through. My sister had exactly the same breast cancer you have. Stage IV with lymphatic involvement and HER2/NUE positive (estrogen sensitive). Just like you, she was undergoing chemo therapy when we thankfully discovered the Budwig protocol. Since starting the Budwig protocol everything changed for the better, she stopped further chemo treatments, refused the follow up radiation treatments as well as the 5 year use of Tamoxifen. We will be celebrating her 2 year remission and health in exactly two week's time. I have to tell you her favourite saying regarding the fo/cc............."When you feel you can no longer stand the cheese and oil, pinch your nose shut and swallow anyway". Don't worry about the dairy part or anything, just do it.........! Lots of strongs to you Cheryl |

Coughing up blood - please help
Pamela
My brother coughed up blood today for about twenty minutes (not
consistently) - he is under the hospice program and they told us that this could mean his tumor has hit a major blood vessel. They also said this probably means it is close to the end for him - just days. Is there anything I can do? I will take any suggestions, advice, personal stories... please respond. Sincerely, Pamela |

Flaxseeds act in much the same manner as tamoxifen -- a drug that you will undoubtedly be offered at some point in your journey. The phytoestrogens they contain bind with estrogen receptors thereby preventing the natural estrogen you produce from doing so. This is one of the more beneficial effects of flax seed. There are many others. You have come to the right place. Take care, BarbF |
antioxidants
bryzamini
Hi Wilhelm,
I just got this email regarding the Berry Young Juice that I use. I have taken a good bit of the info out because I am not trying to sell anyone anything. In the past I've been asked questions from our members about Essential Oil, thus I thought this info of value to all. I found the part about the natural antioxidants VERY interesting because it shows us what JB was onto so many, many years ago. Also the part toward the end about the Oxygen and electrical component was in alignment with JB. Hope I am not stepping on any "guideline" toes. The info on essential oils - especially the clove may also benefit the group..... if you will allow. Best wishes always, lotte Article on Berry Young Juice by Dr. David Stewart The following is an article published in the CARE Newsletter made some comparing Berry Young Juice and Clove Oil to ordinary foods with regard to their antioxidant capacity. The article isn't copyrighted. LONGEVITY IS A BOWL OF BERRIES WITH A DROP OF CLOVE By David Stewart, Ph.D., Executive Director Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education The February/March 2001 issue of Natural Medicine Alert, and Institute of Natural Medicine contained an article entitled: ?Fruits that Prevent Cancer and Premature Aging.? It was thoroughly documented with 80 cited references. According to that article the secret to long, disease-free life may be to eat lots of fresh berries. Here is why. The aging process is now largely understood to be the action of free oxygen radicals that arise in our bodies through normal metabolism and cell function as well as from external environmental sources. Most free radicals contain electrically unbalanced oxygen atoms. ***NOTE: this is why we use the Fo with CC - and eat raw fruits & veggies*** Free radicals can be thought of as partial molecules frantically looking for their missing parts. This makes them hungry and aggressive, ready to grab a chunk from whatever tissue is available (namely a piece of our bodies). Hence, they can cause disease by disrupting normal function at a cellular level. As long as our bodies can keep these radicals in check by dissipating them harmlessly, we stay youthful and healthy. When we suffer an immune deficiency or experience excess stress from environmental factors such as ambient radiation, impurities in our air or water, toxins in our foods, etc., free radicals can be formed in our bodies at a rate faster than we can handle. These radicals aggressively attack our own tissues causing unhealthy mutations and irreversible damage. The consequences of this include accelerated aging, cancer, and a host of other maladies. There are foods and substances that absorb free radicals (containing antioxidants) and the more you partake of these, the more youthful and disease-free you will remain. Scientists at Tufts University have developed a scale for the U.S. Department of Agriculture called the ORAC test. (ORAC = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) The higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food is of destroying free radicals, thus retarding the ageing process and preventing cancers and other diseases. The scientists at Tufts University have determined that Berry Young Juice has the highest ORAC score of any food on the market. The top natural antioxidant foods as determined by Tufts University so far are as follows: FOOD ORAC SCORE* Carrots 210 Oranges 750 Beets 840 Raspberries 1,220 Strawberries 1,540 Blueberries 2,400 Chinese Wolfberries 25,300 * based on a 3.5 oz. sample (100 ml) Cherries, Cranberries, Apricots, Elderberries, Pomegranates and Huckleberries also score very high, but no fruit or vegetable even comes close to wolfberries. Wolfberries (Lyceum barbarum) is the food that keeps the people of Ningxia Province, China, living to ages of 120-150 and more. They live that long simply because they never get sick. And they never get sick because their isolated existence in the high desert is pollution free and they eat only organic, natural foods high in antioxidants every day, including wolfberries. Berry Young Juice is a concentrate of the highest scoring antioxidant foods in the world. Containing 80% wolfberry juice, it also contains blueberry, pomegranate, apricot and raspberry juices. The power of two tablespoons of Berry Young Juice daily is shown in the following table: TWO TABLESPOONES OF BERRY YOUNG JUICE Have the Antioxidant Power of . . . 4 pounds of carrots 2 quarts of carrot juice 8 oranges 1 pint of orange juice 2 pounds of beets 2 cups of beet juice 3 cups of raspberries 2 cups of blueberries ESSENTIAL OILS HAVE THE HIGHEST ORAC SCORES Essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of any known substance. According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 2nd Ed., they are as follows: ESSENTIAL OIL BOTANICAL NAME ORAC SCORE Sandalwood (Santalum album) 1,655 Roman Camomile (Camaemelum nobile) 2,446 Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) 2,517 Rosemary (Rosmarianus officianalis) 3,309 Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) 3,669 Spearmint (Mentha spicata) 5,398 Helichrysm (Helichrysm italicum) 17,420 Lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) 17,765 Orange (Citrus aurantium) 18,898 Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) 24,157 Rose of Sharon (Cistus ladanifer) 38,648 Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamamum verum) 103,448 Mountain Savory (Satureja montana) 113,071 Oregano (Origanum compactum) 153,007 Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) 159,590 Clove (Syzigium aromaticum) 10,786,875 Compare these numbers with the berries and you can see how potent essential oils really are. Clove is the champion of all with an ORAC score over 10 million!! That means a drop of Clove contains 400 times more antioxidant per unit volume than wolfberries< the most powerful of all known fruits. (Clove oil is a natural preservative and anti-microbial and when added to your water or BYU, it will not spoil. I keep 6 liters of treated water in my van because it is very hot where I live and travel to and from town). A 15 ml bottle of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 150 lbs of carrots, 40 quarts of blueberries or 16 gallons of beet juice. TWO DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL OF CLOVE Have the Antioxidant Power of . . . 5 pounds of carrots 2.5 quarts of carrot juice 10 oranges 20 ounces of orange juice 2.5 pounds of beets 1 pint of beet juice 4 cups of raspberries 2.5 cups of blueberries This info is just given to augment our healing work - I still think it is very important to consume foods in their whole state for other important reasons. I simply have found that when I put some Beryy Young Juice and a drop of clove in my water, it helps me feel so much more energetic.....especially over long drives. An associate of mine took 2 bottles of BYJ and a bottle of clove oil with her on retreat in India for one month during the "hot" season. She diluted each bottle of BYJ by half with the added drops of clove oil. She had no disentry or any other illness during her stay and no loss of energy. Just FYI |
Re: substitutes for cottage cheese

Vanessa,
I appreciate very much that you felt and feel pressured because of actively growing cancer. I am very thankful that the cancer that has come back in my neck is slow-growing, and is not interfering with any of my bodily processes, giving me the "luxury" of not having to rush into any particular treatment. I regret that you think Wilhelm was not being nice or was belittling you. I did not read that in his message at all. I have always found him to be kind and polite. In any event, I am certain he had no intention of being unkind or insulting, and I think his question about your seeming to worry more about cottage cheese than about chemotherapy was logical, reasonable and stated without any unkindness of rudeness. He simply said he thought maybe you were misinformed. With regard to chemotherapy, it is my understanding that if it is not having significant effect by the end of the second treatment, then it ought to be discontinued, or another drug or combination of drugs tried. Chemotherapy either does the job quickly or not at all. In your internet travels, did you come across IPT treatment prior to beginning regular chemotherapy? I believe that if one decides to go ahead with chemotherapy that IPT is a much better way to go. But of course, I still feel that in the vast majority of cases, the best thing an oncologist can say to a client is, "I'm sorry; there's nothing I can do for you." Very best wishes to you, Elliot |

Cottage Cheese----Organic or not---Frozen ok?
breathedeepnow
I know that Dr. Budwig did not approve of frozen foods, and I know
that organic is better than fresh, BUT my local Kroger grocery store is having a 10 for 10 dollars sale on non-organic cottage cheese, and it is very tempting to buy 20 or more containers of it and to freeze them, given the considerable savings. I am supposing that freezing the cottage cheese would not affect the way it works in synergy with the flax oil, and I know Barleans has said it is ok to keep flax oil in the freezer. I am concerned about hormones and antibiotics in the non-organic cottage cheese, and may call the company about that. But I believe the cottage cheese may be made from milk from many different dairies, so that it may be hard for Kroger to say just what sorts of things go into the milk, or into the cows the milk comes from. Comments, please? Thank you. Elliot |

Re: Linomel
THanks, I've seen this. i didn't know that the oil itself did not share these
properties. I don't know what to make of these things because before i went for surgery, i started a diet including milk and flax ans fermented soy and several phytoestrogenic supplements, etc, and the tumor grew really, really fast sending me directly to the first surgeon who would take me. and if one talks to a medical oncologist (who admittedly dont seem to know anythign aobut estrogen in general, and less about phyto and xeno estrogens) they say avoid all estrogenic substances. since i am premenopausal, most of the studies really don't say much about me with loads of estrogen in my body. i beleive, based on my extreme allergies to pesticides and my location (pesticide capital of the world) and some esposure I had to urethane while nursing and pesticides right before getting pregnant, that xeno-estrogens caused my cancer. then i tested 87% ER positive, which is very high for a premenopausal woman's tumor. so i'm still trying to figure out soy, but it seems the other phytoestrogens are unavoidable. it isnt like i can stop eating beand. we live on them here as i don't like meat and my kids need more than broccoli :) thank you again for all of your help. vanessa In a message dated 4/27/05 8:14:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time, wilhelmh@... writes: Lignans show particular promise for battling breast cancer.

I would imagine that even the inside of the aloe vera leaf would taste disgusting. Yes, I do have a bottle of aloe vera juice. But it sounded as if the person who said to add some to fresh vegetable juice knew what they were talking about. Apparently that is not the case.

Re: Linomel
W. Hansen
Vanessa,
Flaxseed oil does not have any estrogenic properties. Ground flaxseeds have compounds called phytoestrogens, but that is a different form of estrogen that causes problems. Indications so far suggest that it helps to lower the estrogen dominance in women and also in men. This is from Dr. Mercola's site: "Ground flaxseed may contain compounds that protect postmenopausal women from breast cancer Blood levels of specific estrogens linked to increased risk for breast cancer decreased significantly with flax supplementation. Previous studies have suggested that naturally occurring compounds called phytoestrogens, work to lower levels of circulating estrogens linked to breast cancer. Flaxseed is especially high in one such phytoestrogen, lignan, which is thought to inhibit estrogen production." Or look at this: "Lignans subdue cancerous changes once they've occurred, rendering them less likely to race out of control and develop into full-blown cancer, " says flax researcher Lilian Thompson, Ph.D., professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto. Lignans show particular promise for battling breast cancer. They do this by blocking the effects of estrogen, which, over time, seems to increase breast cancer risk in some women. Even when estrogen-sensitive tumors get a chance to grow, lignans exert a restraining influence that can slow or even halt their growth. In a laboratory study, breast tumors in animals given flaxseed shrank by 50 percent in seven weeks. Wilhelm What about flax seed oil's estrogenic properties? any reason that would be a negative for estrogen positive, premenopausal breast cancer patient? THank you! vanessa |
Re: shake thinner and kraut juice
W. Hansen
Jim,
the seeming agreement that fo/cc needs thinning came from Dr. Budwig's instructions. She never mentioned anything about a shake or a smoothie. Perhaps liquefying the M¨¹sli and gulping it down is not the same as eating it? Dr. Budwig's recipes always turned fo/cc foods such as M¨¹sli into a thick consistency. In other words, they needed chewing. Perhaps she found chewing to be important? Dr. Budwig always referred to milk as a thinner for fo/cc. The difference in nutritional value between liquid whey and milk is in rough terms is this: Milk contains more protein, and whey contains more minerals. I think it is best to stick to what Dr. Budwig said. However, if I for some reason were to use whey as a thinner, I would use an extra tblsp CC to make for the lack of protein in the whey. Dr. Budwig referred to a glass of sauerkraut juice in the morning, not in the evening. She did not identify the size of glass. It could have been a 6, 7 or 8 oz glass. Wilhelm There seems to be agreement that CC needs thinning, especially to make a shake. Milk is the most frequent suggestion although water has also been mentioned. Since I make my own CC I have a lot of whey, and it seems logical to add that, which I do since it contains some soured protein and other nutrients. How would it compare with milk in nutricianal value? Is it likely Dr.Budwig would have recommended 8 oz of sauerkraut juice morning and evening? That is a lot of juice. My home-made kraut goes dry drinking only a quarter of a cup, or less, just in the morning. thanks, jim |
