THE JOHANNA BUDWIG CANCER DIET
The Johanna Budwig Diet was developed by German biochemist and physicist Dr. Johanna Budwig in the 1950’s. Dr. Budwig discovered the blood of those with cancer always had gross deficiencies of phosphatides and lipoproteins, while healthy persons did not have this deficiency. This deficiency resulted in reduced oxygen levels in the cells. Dr. Johanna Budwig then developed a simple diet to re-oxygenate the body’s cells. She discovered the saturated fats we were using in our Western diets did not contain pi-electrons. Pi-electrons are like spark-plugs for our cells to help them to “breathe” properly. Pi-electrons allow the body’s cells to assimilate and transport oxygen, and to detoxify cellular waste. Dr. Johanna Budwig discovered the best source of Pi-electrons was found in two unsaturated fatty acids of flaxseed oil. These unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic), not only re-oxygenate the body’s cells, they also repair and restore the lipid membranes of all cells in the body, and they do this by replenishing the loss of critically needed phosphatides and lipoproteins that are always as stated earlier, grossly deficient in cancer patients.
But there was one problem. How could Dr. Johanna Budwig get the unsaturated fatty acids of the flaxseed oil into the cells of cancer patients? Only water-soluble solutions can enter cells, and an oil, however fantastic it is, is not water-soluble and therefore cannot enter our cells. After many years of clinical research, Dr. Budwig found that by combining flaxseed oil with the sulphurated amino acids found in cottage cheese – the flaxseed oil would become water-soluble, and immediately available for use by the body’s cells. What has also recently become apparent is just how important the cottage cheese is in the Johanna Budwig Diet. Not only does the cottage cheese make the flaxseed oil water soluble to re-oxygenate the body’s cells to prevent cancer mutations, it contains two ingredients that fight cancer in the best possible way.
The first ingredient is sulphur. Sulphur helps to detoxify the body and prevent the growth of cancer cells. According to the National Cancer Institute sulphur compounds make cells vulnerable to the stress created by products of cell division. Because cancer cells divide very quickly, they generate more stressors than most normal cells. Thus, cancer cells are damaged by the presence of sulphur compounds to a much greater extent than normal cells. The other important ingredient in the whey (the liquid part) of cottage cheese, is dextrorotatory lactic acid. This positive form of lactic acid – when given in high doses - normalizes the cell’s pH to healthy levels of around 7.4pH, which is critical to cancer recovery. Secondly, normalising the pH helps to stimulate adrenaline production, preventing a build up of glucose in cells. The prevention of glucose build-up in cells is critical in cancer recovery, as viral-bacterial-yeast-like fungus feed on and ferment glucose, breaking the cell’s Krebs (oxygen) cycle, causing cells to mutate into cancer cells. Thirdly, dextrorotatory lactic acid of the whey in cottage cheese neutralizes the toxic, levorotatory lactic acid of the tumour into a non-toxic, racemic form. This is of utmost importance, as it removes the stimulus for an increase in the cell division rate. Fourthly, the whey of cottage cheese has powerful anti-microbial and anti-viral properties. Lactoferrin and lactoferricin in whey inhibits bacteria, yeast, fungi, and parasitic protozoa. As normal cells lose their ability to exchange oxygen due to the presence of viral-bacterial-yeast-like fungus - causing them to mutate into cancer cells - killing these microbes is also paramount in cancer recovery. Finally, the whey of cottage cheese stimulates the growth of various cells of the immune defense system including lymphocytes, macrophages / monocytes, humoral immune response, and antibody response. The Johanna Budwig Diet is considered by alternative cancer authorities as the premier anti-cancer diet in the world today – and they are not alone. So impressive is the Johanna Budwig Diet’s ability to treat cancer, even aggressive cancers like brain cancer, the two active components of the Johanna Budwig Diet – flaxseed oil and the whey of cottage cheese – are currently being studied by the US government to determine their anti-cancer benefits, with excellent results being shown to date, and with the flaxseed oil even reaching clinical trial stage.

NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE:
FLAXSEED DIET SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERS TUMOR PROLIFERATION
National Cancer Institute: "Methods: We undertook a multisite, randomized controlled trial to test the effects of low-fat and/or flaxseed-supplemented diets on the biology of the prostate and other biomarkers. Prostate cancer patients (n = 161) scheduled at least 21 days before prostatectomy were randomly assigned to one of the following arms: (a) control (usual diet), (b) flaxseed-supplemented diet (30 g/d), (c) low-fat diet (<20% total energy), or (d) flaxseed-supplemented, low-fat diet. Blood was drawn at baseline and before surgery and analyzed for prostate-specific antigen, sex hormone-binding globulin, testosterone, insulin-like growth factor-I and binding protein-3, C-reactive protein, and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Tumors were assessed for proliferation (Ki-67, the primary endpoint) and apoptosis. Results: Men were on protocol an average of 30 days. Proliferation rates were significantly lower (P < 0.002) among men assigned to the flaxseed arms. Median Ki-67-positive cells/total nuclei ratios (×100) were 1.66 (flaxseed-supplemented diet) and 1.50 (flaxseed-supplemented, low-fat diet) versus 3.23 (control) and 2.56 (low-fat diet). No differences were observed between arms with regard to side effects, apoptosis, and most serologic endpoints; however, men on low-fat diets experienced significant decreases in serum cholesterol (P = 0.048)."

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FINDS WHEY PREVENTS CANCER
A team of Agricultural Research Service funded investigators from the U.S. Department of Agriculture — Reza Hakkak, Martin J.J. Ronis, and J. Craig Rowlands — led by neuro-endocrinologist and nutritionist Thomas M. Badger, has found that a modified whey protein, which Badger developed, prevents breast cancer in some laboratory rats. It's an important medical discovery, considering that 180,000 U.S. women develop breast cancer each year—and 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over her lifetime. Whey is notably present in the liquid component of cottage cheese. The researchers studied an animal model of breast cancer. Over 3 years, female Sprague Dawley rats were fed one of two diets—one containing casein, the major protein found in milk, the other containing processed whey protein, which is found in the watery liquid that separates from milk during cheese making. The researchers have filed for a patent on the modified whey protein. "One hundred percent of the rats fed the casein diet developed mammary tumors, but only about 50 percent of the whey-fed rats developed tumors," says Badger, who is based at the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock. "In addition, it took longer for the mammary tumors to develop in the whey-fed rats, and they had fewer tumors." "This data is extremely important," he says, "because it demonstrates that in the animal model most used to study human breast cancer, a common dietary factor reduces the incidence of developing such tumors."

THE JOHANNA BUDWIG CANCER DIET: EASY TO PREPARE
The Johanna Budwig Diet is not only considered by experts as the best cancer diet in the world today, it is also one of the simplest and best tasting. The below video demonstrates how easy it is to prepare the Johanna Budwig Diet.
Use flaxseed oil (ideally) from the refrigerated section of your health food store. Refrigerate and check the expiration date to make sure it has not expired. Do not use High Lignum flaxseed oil. Mix two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Prepare the amount you are consuming at one time so it is mixed fresh each time. Start slowly with the oil, maybe just once a day and work their way up letting the body adjust. The flaxseed oil and the cottage cheese must be thoroughly mixed at a low speed, using a Hand (Wand) Blender. Blend to a creamy texture with no flaxseed oil remaining. Consume the mixture immediately after preparation. You can flavour the mixture each day adding nuts (pecans, pine nuts, almonds or walnuts - not peanuts), banana, organic cocoa, shredded coconut, fresh pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, or cinnamon. You can mix these extras with the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese or place them on top. Dr Johanna Budwig recommends people suffering from cancer should work themselves up to consuming 6 to 8 tablespoons of the flaxseed oil daily.
Here is a recommended daily protocol to work up to: 1. Mix 3-4 tablespoons of cold-pressed flaxseed oil with 6-8 tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese (using hand-blender). 2. Optional - Add nuts (pecans, pine nuts, almonds or walnuts – not peanuts), banana, organic cocoa, shredded coconut, fresh pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, or cinnamon. 3. Optional - Mix 2 tablespoons freshly ground organic flaxseeds. 4. First week: Prepare this mixture & consume once daily. 5. After first week: Prepare this mixture twice daily and consume immediately or cover & refrigerate until required. Dr Johanna Budwig advised people with liver or pancreatic cancer should work up very slowly with the oil and possibly only start with 1 teaspoon at a time until their body has adjusted. Dr Budwig recommends a maintenance dose of 1 tablespoon of the oil per one hundred pounds of body weight. Note: The Johanna Budwig Diet takes time to work and usually takes 3 to 6 months to see results in with with cancer.

THE JOHANNA BUDWIG DIETARY PLAN: FOR FASTER RESULTS
Although the above BUDWIG MIX of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese can be added to any existing diet with very good results, Dr. Johanna Budwig recommends the following daily dietary plan for better and faster results. Regardless of your existing diet, preserved meats and sugar (in all foods) should be avoided when on the Johanna Budwig Diet. Dr. Budwig recommends that you stay on the following diet for a minimum of five years. Dr. Budwig also advises that breaking the rules of this diet (such as eating preserved meats and sugar) may cause tumours to grow back rapidly worse.
COMPLETELY AVOID:
- Sugar (including brown sugar) in all foods
- Animal Fats
- Salad Oil (including Mayonnaise)
- Meats (especially preserved meats)
- Butter and Margarine
THE BUDWIG DIETARY PLAN:
Freshly squeezed vegetables juices work well with this diet. Use carrots, beetroot, celery, and apple (to taste). There is no limit on the number of these juices per day. However, a warm herbal tea (3 times a day) is essential for this diet, such as peppermint, rosehip, fennel, grape tea, etc.
Day 1 (only): Mix 250ml (8.5 oz) of flaxseed oil with honey together with freshly squeezed or blended fruit juices. Do NOT use juice from the supermarket. If the person is very ill, you may use champagne in place of the juice, as the champagne makes it easier for the body to assimilate the oil and will re-energize a very sick person. Day 2 onwards: Mix 3-4 tablespoons of cold-pressed flaxseed oil with 6-8 tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese (using hand-blender) twice daily. Use this mixture throughout the day in the daily dietary plan listed below. Cover and store the unused Budwig Mix in the refrigerator until required.
Before Breakfast: A glass of acidophilus milk or sauerkraut juice. This will restore essential good bacteria into your body.
Breakfast: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of flaxseed oil and some honey and fresh fruit - berries, apricots, peaches, grated apple over natural muesli. You may also use nuts, except peanuts. Eat 4 ounces of the BUDWIG MIX (flaxseed oil & cottage cheese). You may eat this straight or add it to your muesli. Drink 1 herbal tea.
Morning Tea: A glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice.
Lunch: Raw salad with Yogurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise*. Raw salad should consist of 'greens' and a combination of (your choice) grated turnips, carrots, beets, kohlrabi, radishes, sauerkraut or cauliflower. *Yogurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise: Mix together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) flax oil, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) natural yogurt. Then add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar) and add 1 teaspoon (2.5g) mustard plus some herbs such as marjoram or dill. Next add 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no preservatives) and a pinch of herbal salts. Wait half hour after meal and drink a glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice.
Cooked Meal: Steamed vegetables, potatoes, or such grains as rice, buck-wheat or millet may be served. To these add either THE BUDWIG MIX (flaxseed & cottage cheese) or the Yogurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise - for flavour and to up your intake of flax oil. Also mix THE BUDWIG MIX with potatoes instead of sour cream. Drink 1 herbal tea.
Dessert: Mix fresh fruit with THE BUDWIG MIX. Flavour using cream of lemon, vanilla or berries.
Afternoon Tea: A small glass of fresh fruit juice or champagne (if feeling low energy) with 1-2 tablespoons of honey-coated Flaxseeds or drink a glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice.
Supper: Have this by 7pm. Make a hot natural vegetable soup (not canned). (This may be a blended soup such as potato & leek soup, pumpkin soup, or any vegetable soup home-made). Add THE BUDWIG MIX (flaxseed & cottage cheese) for more flavour. Drink 1 herbal tea.
