Unfortunately you are correct. There is no money to be made by promoting a protocol that is entirely made up of food that you can buy in any store. It would take a person with several million $$$ of disposable income that didn't expect anything in return to take on Budwig as a study.
There are people piggybacking off of Budwig with snake oil such as "capsules" that are supposedly JuSt As GoOd. And the worst part is some people believe them. I have corrected many people who suggest those pills on fb cancer sites.
All we can do is preach the gospel according to Johanna and hope people listen.

Thanks, Rod. ?There is a new book out called Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer. ?By Paul E. Marik MD. ? There is one chapter on omega 3 fatty acids, however only citing conventional medical studies, usually as a supplement to chemotherapy and always fish oil. ? The cancer-industrial complex is powerful and pharmaceutical companies fund the research, so the Budwig Protocol probably won¡¯t be studied. ??

Thank you for sharing your story, Marilyn. It gives additional hope and motivation to others. It is good that scholars are promoting alternatives rather than defaulting to the pharma narrative. I think they are few tho.
Continued healing, Rod in MN/USA

Greetings,
I¡¯ve been doing the Budwig Protocol for prevention since 2009, soon after I was told that
I tested positive for the BRCA2 cancer mutation, which I inherited from my father. ?He and many
members of his family died of cancer, the youngest at age 42 from brain cancer and several of
prostate, pancreatic and liver cancers. ?My dad had breast cancer at age 59, but had it removed, never
had treatment and never had a recurrence. ?Twelve years later he was diagnosed with prostate cancer,
not an aggressive case, but he chose radiation treatments. ? Nine months later he had 4 separate new
cancers, including lymphoma, undoubtedly caused by the radiation and he died shortly after he started chemotherapy.?
Not surprising since people with this mutation have difficulty repairing DNA breaks caused by ionizing?
radiation because they only have one allele. ?It¡¯s a tumor suppressor gene.?
I was 57 at the time and the doctor recommended double mastectomy and removal of my ovaries. ?After
doing some research, I decided against it and never went back to that doctor. ?I told my son, who was in
college in Massachusetts, and he said ¡°Mom, my friend told me that his professor told the class about
a researcher named Joanna Budwig who helped people heal from cancer. ?He told the students that if people
followed her diet, far fewer people would get cancer. ?Look her up, Mom.¡± ?And that¡¯s how I found the Budwig?
protocol. ?What is the probability that my son would hear about Budwig about the same time I received?
the news of my cancer mutation? ?To me it was a ¡°higher power¡± experience! ?
I¡¯ve been eating the muesli with 1 tablespoon of flax oil
since 2009, but during the past few years I have increased it to 2 or 3 tablespoons and been stricter about
the diet and the rest of the protocol. ?That¡¯s a struggle because I have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth )
and I have to stay on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (no potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, dairy and no fruit or vegetables that
are not monosaccharides). ?I can have quark, but I have to culture it 24 hours in a yogurt maker so the good bacteria consume all
of the sugars in the milk.?
Thank you Sandra for all you do and thank you all for sharing your wisdom and support. ?I hope this message reaches the
group because the technology is new to me.
Marilyn
