Re: Starting Budwig Diet/Protocol!

supplements should be avoided but if you research you will see that natural food can be used as ginger and tumeric. No things like mms and palmeto and all the other junk you have been taking should be avoided. here is a post for you. yes i realize you don't have cancer but the jest of it should be watched:





Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Healing Diet & Protocol
How long did Dr. Budwig advise a cancer patient to stay on the “strict” Budwig diet & protocol as laid out in her oil-protein cookbook?

To give the reader a clear idea of Dr. Budwig’s stance and observations regarding the above question, I have translated four pertinent passages from Dr. Budwig’s books Kosmische Kräfte gegen Krebs [Cosmic Forces Against Cancer], Der Tod des Tumors Bd. 2, [The Death of the Tumor Vol. 2], and Cancer - The Problem and The Solution.*

* In addition and after studying the following excerpts, I strongly advise the reader to also peruse Budwig protocol & life energies blockages: On the question why the cancer always/sometimes will come back when the Budwig diet is abandoned. I consider this article highly important since it extends and reframes the Budwig protocol into a larger holistic perspective, i.e. a perspective of true healing.

Dr. Budwig writes in Kosmische Kräfte gegen Krebs while discussing "cancerobes" [a term she applied to the worm-like micro-organisms she was surprised to discover in all blood samples she took from over 1000 cancer patients]: “With persons who previously suffered from cancer and who after strictly adhering to the oil-protein diet, feel well again, even seeing their tumors and metastases gone, I’ve observed the following: if they re-change their diet within the first months, for instance by eating sausages and cold cuts or eating on holidays whatever the usual hotel cuisine provides, all of a sudden, their erythrocytes are heavily re-infested by these "cancerobes". Such patients often die within a few weeks, and I am unable to help them any longer. After five years or so, a gradual broadening of this diet is no longer dangerous to this degree.”

Another witness to the anecdotally (but possibly frequently) observed deleteriousness of breaking the Budwig diet “too early” is naturopath Dr. K. Bischoff, MD, whose testimonial re practical experiences with the oil-protein diet over six years is quoted on pages 116/117 of the above-cited Der Tod des Tumors Bd. 2. At the time of his writing (16 February 1962), he had been successfully treating a limited number of patients that came to him, diagnosed with 'malignant tumor', and with whom he used the Budwig Diet as the base therapy, supplementing it with other methods aimed at enriching the organism with oxygen and keeping it in an efficient and problem-free condition. He writes: "Like with any serious condition, the strict rules must be maintained for 3 years before they can be relaxed. Also a return to the former, cancer-causing lifestyle must be avoided since a second bout of cancer does not hold much promise regarding healing success even when a rigorous diet change is again implemented. My experiences refer to rectum cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer."

Also in Der Tod des Tumors Bd. 2 (pp. 109/110), Dr. Budwig quotes a somewhat comparable but more extreme case where straying from the diet even many years later led to rapid relapse and death: a cancer patient with metastasized ovarian cancer who had been declared incurable by her doctors quickly felt better and fully recovered after starting on the Budwig diet (immediately cutting out all medications etc.). The woman went on to live in good health for many years looking after her home. One day, however, upon contracting a simple cold, her family doctor recommended that “she return to normal fare”. She followed that advice and was dead within a few weeks’ time. Dr. Budwig comments: “When a person previously diagnosed as having had cancer abandons the oil-protein diet, death occurs appallingly quickly. Both my own observations and those of other MDs have been able to confirm that such straying from the diet leads to death in an appallingly quick manner.”

Dr. Budwig restates these warnings in a somewhat different and less sweeping and ominous phrasing in the final sentences* of her last book Cancer - The Problem and The Solution where she writes: “I will add here a few sentences by American doctor Jan Roehm who studied and applied my therapy in great detail and who writes: ‘... You should follow this diet for about 5 years. By that time, your tumor should have completely disappeared. Persons who stop the diet too early (by eating meat and sweets) sometimes see their health rapidly deteriorate and cannot be saved after such a bodily torture.’”
