......unfortunately,??you can't get adequate UVB exposure sitting indoors or in a car. Virtually all commercial and automobile glass blocks UVB rays. As a result,?you will not be able to increase your vitamin D levels by sitting in front of a sunny window, though much of the UVA radiation will penetrate the glass and may be harmful.

Hi Irina,
Doing a modified version of Budwig will not get you results. Whatever protocol you decide on, it's best to go all in. Triglycerides are the least of your worries at this point and flax seeds and their oil cannot hurt the body. The science of the protocol is almost entirely based on the Flax oil cottage cheese?combo so at the?very least I would make sure to get two servings of those every day. It sounds like you have the nutrition down so that is good. Maybe ensure that you're drinking quality water as well and eat sauerkraut. Sit by a sunny window with as few clothes as possible as often as you can. It is quite important. Wishing you lots of luck and good health.?

Hi Rod,
Thanks so much for your reply and congrats on your healing, this is really impressive! I understand from the files that Budwig protocol has some very good statistics for lung cancer (and some other cancers I guess).
I am trying to heal stage 4 ovarian cancer (I was first dx in 2014 with stage 1, had surgery and that was it but a recurrance in 2020 with stage 4). Surgery/radiation is not an option and I refused chemo. My dad and two of my aunts had cancers and all died after chemo. My sister is the only one who survived chemo but she had a type of cancer which has a very high rate of 'cure' with chemo. Her experience with chemo was so bad that I do not want to put myself through that. Doctors think I am stupid (and maybe I am) and that I am loosing time. Although they don't say chemo will heal cancer but maybe just stop it for a while (no guarantee for that either) and don't give much time (I have aleady outlived some of their prognosys) but the cancer is progressing and I wasn't able to stop it on my own.
I am 9 years vegan (with no sugar, processed foods, animal protein, alcohol, coffee, wheat, up until rercently oils) and I still had a recurrance. So I do not think cancer always comes from poor nutrition although it definitly plays its role. I've been doing tons of supplements, juicing, eating only raw for prolong times, coffee enemas, herbal teas, Essiac, Pau-d-Arco, colloidal silver, jumping on mini trampoline, ozonated water, PEMF and some other things I could get my hands on (not much is available in my country) but with no results.
Now there is ascites in abdominal area, right lung is fully shut down due to fluid build up (they used to drain it but it is no longer possible) and many other health problems due to cancer. I almost died the last time they drained ascites from abdominal area and it took me 3 months to get myself back together more or less (to get rid of high fever, start walking again and feel more energy), so I dread going through this procedure again and am looking for ways to get rid of it without the doctors.
It is a pretty tough situation and I wonder if Budwig can be of help. I've started modified Budwig protocol almost 2 months ago and so far I do not see much result (a bit more energy but I still feel very tired most of the time). Modified because my blood preassure is typically in the low range and if I add flax seeds to the FOCC or to juices it just drops so much that I feel really bad and can not function. So I use flax seeds once a week (with abovementioned consequences) and only 1tsp. I can not eat pineapples and papaya is not available most of the time. But I keep the rest of the protocol.
Also my triglycerides went up 110 points after starting Budwig mix and after some research I understand it happens when we consume too much fat (all the other reasons are not applilcable to me). I get my blood checked every 1,5-2 months and triglycerides were always in the normal range so I am sure it is from the oil as it is the most fat containing food I eat now (it is about 80g per day which is way more than the "norm"). Not sure what to do about that and how to get them down consuming that much oil.
So this is my story in short :-) I do hope Budwig can help yet am scared to "put all the eggs in one busket" since I have no idea how much time my body has. I am 47 and I really want to live. I take D3 as I live in the northern country with not much sun most of the year and blood thinners (I have to) but this is it for now since Budwig did not recommend any supplements or drugs.
It does seem to me like not that many survivor stories with Budwig protocol only nowadays which makes me worried a little but I may be wrong.
