She was 85 years old with emphysema. Conventional medicine offered no hope, so I tried to get her to go to Burzynski's clinic in Houston, which has much success treating with non-toxic anti-neoplastone therapy. Not being able to get full cooperation from my family, I began treating her in the hospital with Dr. Budwig's anti-cancer diet, Essentially Omega-3 rich flaxseed oil and cottage cheese. This diet was discoered in Germany in 1951, and was re-examined by a Dr. Roesch in 1990. Anyways, after not being able to eat much for nearly 4 weeks, I introduced the first dosage of Budwig's diet at night. The following morning she had an appetite, and ate 2 solid meals. More treatments, and she continued to eat 3-4 meals per day, and one morning she called me craving an egg-salad sandwich with mustard, which I delighted to supply her! Each day on the diet seemed to cause a marvelous return to vigor. Eventually, her oxygen supply was reduced from a mask set on 5 liters, to a canula set on 2 liters of oxygen. The doctors insisted that she go on Hospice because they insisted that she was dying. Meanwhile, friends of mine from high school (1968) came to visit her and replied,"this woman looks too good to be dying, we'll come back in a few days to visit again." As her vigor was returning, I noticed that her pulse rate was dropping and that her oxygen saturations were rising. I couldn't believe it! The hospice doctors took her off of her medications, hoping that this would cause her to expire earlier and in less pain than if they continued to medicate her claiming that as the disease progressed, she would need morphine to control her agony. My mother never once needed pain medication, and continued showing increased vitality. As a matter o fact, once she was off of her "meds" she became a lot calmer and her hands stopped shaking from the epinephrine and albuterol stimulants. Again, her ability to breathe continued to improve! She began taking deep yawns and doing deep sighs, like a person getting their first breath of springtime air. I took one of those oxymeters, a gadget that measures inspired air volume, and was surprised to see her send the little ball all the way to the top 5 times in a row! Something else I noticed was that any time she had a bowel movement (which became quite frequent after the start of the diet) it was so foul smelling, almost like she was excreting rotten flesh! She was only on this diet for 9-10 days, and I'm amazed that the results seemed to occur so rapidly. I wish that my story had a totally happy ending, but it doesn't. At 10:35 on December 5, five days before her 86th birthday, she suffered a rapid loss of blood pressure moving from the toilet back to her bed. Because she was in hospice, they did nothing about it, and she died in just a few minutes. I've been told this phenomena is called "valsalva" If she were not in hospice, they could have recovered her but, of course, they wanted her to expire, and so she did. I watched in horror, holding her hand, as she took her last deep breaths. At least she was in totally unmedicated condition and didn't even know she was going, no pain at all. She remained completely lucid and communicative right to the end! At least for that I am grateful to the Dr. Johanna Budwig anti-cancer diet. A week later I was searching through the web and found an 8-9 page testimonial to the flaxseed oil diet, and in it 2 incurable lung cancer patients were able to revers thier condition on this diet in 3 months! I find this totally believable, based on what I've seen in my mother's case. In Europe, I understand that this diet is used as a preventative as well as a curative for cancer. This also is totally bevievable to me since the cancer occurance rate is lower (1 in 8-10 as opposed to ours 1 in 3) and their cure rates are higher.
