Vitamin C and Budwig
I thought Dr. Budwig said that non-food sources of Vitamin C were antioxidants which nullify the healing process of the FOCC. However, I also read that unlike oral Vitamin C supplements, which are antioxidants, IV Vitamin C is more pro oxidative, but still may have some anti oxidative effects. Have these differences between oral and IV Vitamin C been documented? I only see studies about using IV Vitamin C with chemotherapy. Marilyn

My Budwig Story
13
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

Almond milk, Fenbendazole and FOCC
12
I don't know if we have any biochemists here, but I was wondering if you use almond milk instead of regular 1% milk to smoothen out the FOCC, will that have any ill effect on it's effectiveness? Also, what about Fenbendazole, if added to FOCC, will that cause any issues with FOCC potency?

Tooth Infection
15
Hello We went to the dentist because some of my father's teeth hurt. The doctor said that there was a lot of inflammation at the bottom of my father's teeth and that antibiotics should be used to remove it. However, since my father said he had cancer, the doctor said he could not perform this treatment on the grounds that it might pose a risk of metastasis. Does such a risk really exist? He requested an approval letter from the oncologist. Regards, Mücahit.

Weight Loss
17
Hello, My father started to lose his weight, how can we prevent this situation? We are continuing BP over 6 months, tumor is growing. This can be dangerous. In fact, he has a good appetite, and apart from his Budwig Muesli, he eats raw nuts, fruits, red lentils, beans, some rice, whole wheat bread, and boiled vegetables. But he is working hard at the garden. Losing his energy everyday. How can we stop this weight loss? Thanks. Mücahit.

Budwig and other protocols
2
It seems that the Budwig/Focc is conservative in the sense that you can not deviate from it too much. I am following it as closely as possible with exception of the sauerkraut juice (I was looking into an alternative to that) That being said, I take certain medications and some supplements (possibly unnecessarily as they may not do much) and have been concerned they may interfere with results. I read somewhere in the bio Budwig that they had a clinic in Sweden (?) where there was a 90% cure rate, and it seems the least offensive of all the protocols, up to and including "standard of torture" (oops I meant care) protocols, fasting for 45 days, using drugs off use (getting a dr to prescribe in the us is impossible) IVC (expense) etc. But with Budwig, has anyone successfully integrated other techniques on occasion? There was a man named Guy Hoffman (from Dr. Berg fame) who fasted for 45 days and cured his prostate cancer, but later I found out that he had testosterone/adt therapy (chemical castration) so to me that negates his success, and I have seen this with other protocols on mixing and matching with standard of care, is Budwig one of the few that could be classified as "stand alone"?

Dr. Budwig's Protocol in 15 Key Points
8
Below are Guidelines in brief of the Budwig Diet – you don’t have to consume all the foods on this list. Membership to Budwig-videos.com gives you videos or articles in detail about each item below. This information is from Dr. Budwig’s books. 1. 1st thing in AM–Sauerkraut Juice, preferably raw & homemade [We have a video on our site showing how to make it] . Raw unheated kraut has enzymes, probiotics and vitamins which help the digestive system metabolize foods & improve immunity. Most sauerkraut sold in stores is pasteurized [heated] and nutrients are damaged. It won’t help as much. 2. Just before breakfast– green or herbal tea 3. Breakfast–3 Tbs. Flax Oil & 6 Tbs. Quark or Cottage Cheese+ 3 Tbs. milk if needed for thinning, well blended. After blending, add 2 Tbsp flax seeds, freshly ground, add fresh fruit, fruit juice, raw nuts, 1 tsp raw honey. Afterward, if hungry, choose whole grain bread, raw vegetables, & an oz of quality cheese: Edam, Gouda, Emmentaler, Sbrinz or Camembert. 4. Mid-morning – Homemade Vegetable Juice (carrots, beets w/lemon or apple, or greens) . Homemade carrot or beet juices are very important cancer-fighters. 5. Before Lunch – Champagne or sparkling wine with 1 Tbs of flaxseeds[freshly ground] OR ground flax seeds in small glass of fruit juice. The champagne helps with absorption of the seeds. 6. SUNBATHING outside 10 to 20 minutes around noon [weather permitting] without sun lotion or glasses, expose as much skin as possible. Avoid washing with soap after sunbathing. Give the vitamin D time to be made and absorbed[24-48 hours] 7. Lunch – raw vegetable salad or vegetable plate + Budwig dressing. If still hungry, boiled or steamed veggies, grains and beans, lentils, or potatoes. [If a member of this site, see “DINNER” in the Menu for over 25 recipes] 8. Lunch Dessert – It’s important to have a 2nd serving of 3 Tbs. Flax Oil & 6 Tbs. Quark or Cottage Cheese with a little milk, well blended. Add raw fruit, fruit juice, raw nuts, raw honey and/or other flavors you like. 9. Mid-afternoon – 1 Tbs. whole flaxseeds, freshly ground & added to 3 to 8 oz of pure fruit juice, homemade or store bought. 10. STRESS REDUCTION/RELAXATION PRACTICE — Meditation to relax the mind, EFT to change thinking, & other techniques that reduce stress as shown on the Budwig-Videos website for those who join. [EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique]. Chronic stress can be very damaging. [We have a video for relaxation methods for members of this site.] 11. Late afternoon – Papaya or pineapple juice, 3 to 8 oz, with 1 Tbs. whole flaxseeds, freshly ground. 12. Dinner – Cooked grains and nutritional yeast flakes such as Red Mill Nutritional Yeast with B12 or grains with vegetables w/oleolux, nutritional yeast flakes & spices. Vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, & cabbage add cancer-fighting nutrition. Grains suggested by Dr. Budwig: brown rice, buckwheat, millet and oats. Dine early. 13. Evening – 1 glass Red Wine [optional]. Go to sleep early – before 10pm if possible. 14. AVOID chemicals, preservatives, damaging fats, meats/poultry/eggs/fish, sugar, sugar substitutes, highly processed foods, most supplements, ozone treatments, dental infections and wean off drugs if possible [under doctor’s care] 15. Most people do not need ELDI oils, which Dr. Budwig created mainly for patients who are too weak to eat. These oils are sold in Germany. They are rubbed on the skin or used as an enema if needed. [Some people make a version of ELDI oil at home by mixing 75% flax oil with 25% wheat germ oil to help preserve it. ]

Pleural mesothelioma
Here is a link to the LDN Research Trust which has dosing information and a rather extensive list of ailments it treats. Just search LDN on line for a plethora of information. Mesothelioma is not on this list but I know from personal experience that it worked for me for over 5 years. My current PET scans show limited spread into some Lymphnodes and a spot between two ribs but the original 25 locations show no glucose uptake whatsoever (only scar tissue). BTW, Some long term users of LDN on Facebook are having good results taking 4.5mg two times per day which I might try. I would also like to know if there are any interactions with the FSO protocol before starting it. I don't want to negate the benefits of either on these protocols.

flax seed oil in Indai

Too much and constipated
9
I'm finding that the FOCC twice in a day is just too much for me, and I'm gaining weight. I only weight 115, so I'm wondering if I don't need as much. I'm also very constipated from the dairy. I've given up on BP several times in the past due to sensitivity to dairy, but I'm doing okay this time. I think doing the lowfat made the difference. Previously I used Nancy's which was full fat, and I couldn't tolerate it. Any suggestions?

Basal Cell Carcinoma
10
I’ve been on this group for quite a while to learn about cancer treatments. I have been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on my nose. Presently my nose is mostly a big scab. They have suggested radiation; next week I will have an appointment to find out how many sessions. The radiation place has the most updated equipment. They say this will eliminate the cancer, since basal cell carcinoma does not spread. Of course I am terrified. I always knew that if I had cancer I would follow the Budwig plan, but this seems like a minor curable cancer -- if this can be fixed with a few weeks of radiation with little chance of re-occurring, it seems worth it. Will the Budwig plan eliminate basal cell carcinoma? Would I need to be on it for life, as for other cancers. Thank you, Linda ,_
