Ps. There wasn¡¯t a feeding tube bag. It was a g-tube that went into him directly and they would use a bollus? (Syringe type piece that fit the g-tube end perfectly to slowly push the ¡°Budwig diet ingredients down the tube). Then they would add water at the end to clear the tube out a bit.

I also use Kefir to thin my FOCC.....not goat's milk, but from the grain.
Have been using it for years now.
Kefir, a low cultured milk,? is high in probiotics.

This is a link to the website of The Stern Method. Their son was diagnosed with cancer and they share their story. They requested a feeding port be put in so they could get nutrients into their son. They brought a juicer to his hospital room and informed the staff that their son would not be needing the hospital food. Anyway, your situation reminded me somewhat of the Sternagles, so thought I¡¯d share. They used the Budwig as part of their son¡¯s recovery (and he did recover!).

Hi Jane,
? ? ?You just have to be firm. Initially they will want to make sure the tube works correctly, say perhaps 12 to 24 hours. After that just take it upon yourself to do it. No flaxseeds in the tube. As I said in an earlier email I never gave my husband flaxseed as he did have the tube in him for 5 months. The protocol still works. If you were to try seed it would clog the tube. You do not want that.?
? ? ? You can do this Jane.

.Hello.? Thank you all again for the tips!? I feel confident?I could grind the flax seeds in the room.? It appears my husband?may have a feeding tube inserted today, unfortunately, since he will not eat.? The big question for me is how do you convince the nurses to agree to add the mixture to the feeding tube bag?? What to say to them?? My understanding is that publicly they most likely?are instructed to only recognize the standard cancer treatments.? I would very much appreciate any suggestions with this!!!
Thank you so much!

Hi Jane,
I am not sure about the 20 minutes for getting it into your husband. My dad had a G-tube and they used to be able to pour the FOCC shake down by adding a little water to thin it down for his meals. I would bring over several bottles. But back then I was not adding the ground flaxseeds. I am wondering if you can Grind the flaxseeds in his room and added to your mixture right before you give it to him. That way it does not put as much pressure on you to get over to the hospital. Just thinking out loud. :-)

Hello!
Thank you thank you so very much for your reply.? I just got home from the ICU and will read again and again to better digest it all.? I've made the FOCC recipe many times for myself as a??prophylactic?so I am familiar with the ingredients, plus my sis followed the diet very strictly for? 7 years.? ? My hubby has stage IV liver cancer, and his liver is almost covered 100% in metastases.? Plus kidneys?are not functioning properly.? They are concentrating right now on attempting to bring? the kidney function back to as normal as possible, but, the prognosis for that is not very good.? IF that can be done, he can come home and follow the diet? 100%.? In the meantime I am trying to figure?out how to get him the FOCC twice a day while in the hospital, which may be 2-4 more weeks if the kidneys seem to be improving on the dialysis.? ? I do not want to waste any time.???I live 10 min away from the hospital?so I can mix up a recipe at home and drive as fast as I can over there, run up the hospital stairs, and get him the recipe within as close to 20 minutes from the time I finish mixing.? And do this? twice a day.? Hectic, but I am willing to do it.? I would think the FOCC could potentially aid the kidneys as well? even though there is no sign of cancer there.?
My only concern right now is he is not eating.? Any food he puts in his mouth he ends up spitting out.? Maybe it's the meds - we are not sure.? ?So, if I cannot get the FOCC into him,? then my efforts are wasted.? I have read I can thin the mixture out with carrot juice or milk.... do you by chance know anything about this? Maybe then he can literally drink? it. Also, do you know how important is the? 20 min time frame from mixing the batch to eating it?
I am so glad to hear you are feeling better day by day.? How encouraging that is for you!??
Again, thank you so very much for reaching out and providing a wealth of information for us.
Best,?

So sorry to hear that your husband is going through this. I myself am battling colon cancer spread to my liver and lymph nodes; but I do feel better every day that I'm on this diet.
Here are my recommendations:
1) Read this post by Sanda: it is the daily activity schedule for when he gets home: /g/FlaxSeedOil2/topic/question_for_sandra_olson/75468304
2) While he is in the hospital, buy a low RPM juicer. I am sure others here can suggest a cheaper juicer, but I have the Angel Juicer which is really easy to clean since it's all stainless steel. I wouldn't go cheap here, since you will use it nearly every day (it's more important than your stove). Here is a used one on ebay.
3) Grab a copy of the . For the most part, follow this book for your list of ingredients.
4) Barlean's Flax Seed Oil (Red Stripe Bottle) and Nancy's Organic Low Fat (2% or less) Cottage Cheese are the easiest and most recommended ingredients I have found near me for making your daily FOCC mixture.
5) Pickup an Enima Kit for Coffee Enima's. This helps stimulate and detox the liver. I do this daily, but it also helps with my colon since it has a lot of scar tissue.
6) Make sure you have a coffee grinder that you can use for flax seed
7) Consider using caster oil on the liver. Look up "Caster oil packs"
8) Sour Kraut Juice is super important. If you read the literature, it will neutralize the lactic acid output by the tumors in the blood stream. You can not make your body alkaline or get rid of tumors w/o sour kraut. If you don't have a juicer yet, I would just eat like a cup of kraut every morning. If you don't have time to make homemade kraut, you can find WildBrine Raw Organic Kraut for like $8.99 at Costco (50 oz jug). It's literally 3 ingredients: Cabbage, SeaSalt and Garlic.
No Sugar, No Preservatives, No Meat, and most importantly, NO OIL OTHER THAN FLAX SEED OIL. Prefer Organic Produce whenever possible. Some will say you can cook with coconut oil or you can use Olive Oil, but if you follow the research from Dr. Gerson, I would stay away from any other oil until at least 18 months after remission. The gist of this is that you can not go out to eat or have anything processed from the grocery store.
There is a transition diet that is about 3 days long, but I don't think any of us here have done that and you can find it in the Oil Protein Cookbook I believe.
Cooking is hard, but there are things like "waterless/oilless" (not cheap) cooking pans that can help out. Also, learn to make sauces that can be utilized on veggies or custom made flat breads with Quinoa or Spelt Flour.
There is a lot of information here for you to unpack, so once you do that, feel free to shoot me questions. This diet is strict and not very fun at all, but it's life or death at this point. Also, they will not radiate the liver and pending how many metastasis are on his liver, treatment will most likely not save his life, since chemo usually does not cure, it only gets you to surgery and they will want to remove any section of the liver that had a metastasis.
