catherinecoy@... writes: Well, you'd have thought I asked them to dance naked in Times SquareI love it...and so true. Your point is well-taken -- if it can't hurt, and might OH MY GOSH HELP...why not give it a go. But bring that up in the wrong forum and you are toast. My personal situation is one of watchful waiting. Almost two years ago, I was treated for breast cancer -- chemo, radiation, surgery -- and am keeping the Budwig protocol on the back burner in case it is needed. In the meantime, I take 3 T of freshly ground flax seed everyday and make sure to get my sunlight. Take care, BarbF |

I have enjoyed everyone's feedback for a few weeks now. Without
going into the archives to attempt to determine the answer myself, I would like to ask the group if the majority of you are, in fact, battling a disease or do you take flaxseed oil as a preventive measure? Personally, I'm convinced of the efficacy of Essential Fatty Acids to protect us from a variety of ailments and I use it for that purpose (in my case, mild arthritis). The reason I ask is this: I participate on a discussion board where melanoma patients of every "stage" post their treatments--the vast majority of which involve conventional medicine (radiation, drugs and surgery). I mentioned that I had read quite a bit about Johanna Budwig's alleged cure for a variety of ailments, including cancer. Since the "treatment" is innocuous and involves a nutrient (EFA) we need anyway, why not incorporate the Budwig Diet with the view that "it can't hurt and might help, so why not?" Well, you'd have thought I asked them to dance naked in Times Square as part of their treatment. On a conventional discussion board, you're practically drawn and quartered for endorsing (or even suggesting) anything other than pharmaceuticals, surgery or radiation, it appears, but that particular board is dedicated to melanoma (my particular focus), so I continue to visit and post. Now I'm wondering, however, how many Budwig success stories of cures for actual diseases do we have among the 600+ members of this board? Any feedback? Thanks. |

been on the flaxseed oil protocol for about two months as a preventive measure. I injured by knee playing tennis years ago and have worn a knee elastic band for years. Probably 15 years or so. I could not walk to the bath room first thing in the morning without a slight limp. I cannot explain it but about three weeks ago I noticed my knee not hurting and no discomfort. I have not worn my knee band now for about three weeks and cannot believe how it feels. I can only explain that since I started the FO/CC that something has happened to my knee. After 15 years of discomfort without the elastic knee band what can I say. I take FO/CC religiously every day. I also noticed several early morning "old age aches and pains" are gone. Taking FO/CC cannot hurt you. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Follow the plan, don't change anything and after three to four weeks you be the judge. Ed -----Original Message-----

Toasted, roasted and fried in oil! I swear, there's an FDA representative on the board who keeps everyone in check. Even mention anything non-"evidence based" and you'll get your head handed to you on a cardboard platter. I would approach any illness like a marathon. Get in shape, for cryin' out loud! Stop smokin', drinkin', and get your ass out there and start movin' if you want to stay alive. Instead, it's "where do I go to stick my arm out; gimme your best chemicals." I don't get it. Nope, I sure don't.

---In answer to your question in my case Yes! I have advanced prostate
cancer diagnosed as the most agressive kind which has spread beyond the prostate. 12 biosy needles with 12 positives. I changed diet and went on focc soon after learning what I had. I understand medicare will only pay for one cat scan a year so I have no way of knowing what is going on except my well being has drastically improved in many ways. My prostate has shrunk to near normal. Whether or not this is from the hormone treatments or focc or a combination of both I do not know. My health continues to improve. I have been using focc since october 2003. Charles In FlaxSeedOil2@..., "cathcoy" <catherinecoy@c...> wrote: I have enjoyed everyone's feedback for a few weeks now.

Thank you, everyone, for your hopeful testimonials. I thought I would be bothering you but your posts give me hope that many maladies can be conquered through diet and nutrition. Of course! That only makes sense.

I was diagnosed with Pca about 6 weeks ago. I started about 2 weeks
prior, by fasting for 14 days. I then went on the Budwig Diet. I can not tell you that it has helped my cancer yet, but I can say this, the pain and fatigue, that I now know was associated with the cancer, is all but gone. When I started the Budwig Diet, I also started exercising. (UCLA did a study and found that after 11 days of exercise and a low fat diet, blood serum could kill 30-40% prostate cancer cells) I try to run/walk and keep my heart rate between minimum [(220 - age) x .6] to maximum [(220 - age) x .8] for up to 2 hours/day. This use to be about 2.5 mph to reach minimum, now it is almost 4 mph. Whether it was by the Budwig Diet or improving on exercise is anyone's guess. All I know is now I have more energy.....I can even keep up with my wife when she shops!!!! LOL. I think it is the oxygen my cells are now getting through achieving a better balance of the EFA's. As far as the rest, you will have to keep coming back to hear the results. I am confident that they will be good!! One man sows, another waters, but God gives the harvest! |

I've been reading about other natural substances that seem to boost the immune system. Noni juice is undergoing a clinical trial and preliminary reports are that it suppresses tumors in nude nice ("nude" means that the mice have been bred to have no immune system). You can buy 32 oz of 100% pure Noni at this site: Here's what the distributor says about its pricing, which I thought was quite nice. "We have no quarrel with those who make Noni juice the proper way, whether their Noni juice is made from Noni fruit grown in Hawaii, Tahiti, or Timbuktu; nor with anyone who sells Noni juice for a reasonable price. Most people who buy Noni juice have one or more serious health problems that have not responded to traditional medicine, and have decided to explore the vast, untapped potential of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), of which Noni juice is one of the most efficacious. It is morally reprehensible to exploit such people by placing an additional financial burden upon them." From: "Carolyn J. Kreibich" <kreibich@...> |

I am using fo/cc to prevent getting a recurrence.. I had a double
mastectomy Dec. 2000. I take 3 T. flaxoil with my cottage cheese and add 2 T. of freshly ground seeds each morning. I also chop up about an inch of ginger root into little pieces and add that. So far, so good. Carolyn |
