The Budwig Diet- Flaxseed Oil &
Cottage Cheese
In my
research, Dr Johanna Budwig’s name has been referred to on numerous occasions. The
articles mentioned that Dr Budwig was using Organic Flaxseed Oil combined with
Organic Low Fat Cottage Cheese in preventing and curing Cancer and Chronic
Diseases. I would just shake my head in disbelief and, without giving it a
second thought, move onto other research. I was not willing to take the time to
investigate this protocol. It did not make any sense to me how this could
possibly work. That was a big mistake.
If you are researching this website
for a loved one, family member, or a friend who is suffering from a terminal or
chronic disease this is one of the most important pieces of information I have
come across during thousands of hours of research. Please take the time to read
this carefully as this can be a life saving protocol.
If you are
already familiar with the science on how the Budwig Diet works you may scroll
directly down to (The Budwig Protocol
and Diet Plan). There it will guide you in what to purchase and how to mix
the organic flax oil and organic low fat cottage cheese as well as some
explanation to the diet. To understand the full diet her book will have to be
purchased. In Dr Budwig’s protocol there is much more than just flax oil and
cottage cheese. If you are just now hearing about this protocol for the first
time you need to read this paper in it’s entirety to understand how this
protocol works in healing your body. This is a very, very powerful protocol
when done properly and has healed thousands of people with chronic and terminal
diseases.
One
afternoon I decided to take the time to start researching Dr Budwig. I wanted
to know who she was and learn more about her protocol. I had no idea that two
months later, after reading three of her books translated from German to
English, and combing the internet, I would still be looking at Dr Budwig’s work.
I was trying my best to understand this protocol so I could pass it along to
others. I believe I now understand why it appears to work so well. The
following is what my research revealed.
Dr Budwig was
born in
In
Without the proper metabolism of
fats in our bodies every vital function and every organ is affected. This
includes the generation of new life and new cells. Our bodies produce over 500
million new cells daily. Dr Budwig points out that in growing new cells, there
is a dipolarity between the electrically positive nucleus and the electrically
negative cell membrane with it’s high unsaturated fatty acids. During cell
division the cell and new daughter cell must contain enough electron rich fatty
acids in the cells surface area to divide off completely from the old cell. When
this process is interrupted the body begins to die. In essence, these commercially
processed fats and oils are shutting down the electrical field of the cells
allowing chronic and terminal diseases
to take hold of our bodies.
A very good
example would be tumors. Dr Budwig noted that “The formation of tumors usually
happens as follows. In those body areas which normally host many growth
processes, such as in the skin and membranes, the glandular organs, for
example, the liver and pancreas or the glands in the stomach and intestinal
tract---it is here that the growth processes are brought to a stand still. Because
the dipolarity is missing, due to the lack of electron rich highly unsaturated
fat, the course of growth is disturbed---the surface-active fats are not present;
the substance becomes inactive before the maturing and shedding process of the
cells ever takes place, which results in the formation of tumors.” She pointed out that this can be reversed
by providing the simple foods, cottage cheese and flax seed oil, which revises
the stagnated growth processes. This naturally causes the tumor or tumors
present to dissolve and the whole range of symptoms which indicate a “dead
battery are cured.” Dr Budwig did not believe in the use of growth
inhibiting treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. She was quoted as
saying “I flat declare that the usual
hospital treatments today, in a case of tumorous growth, most certainly leads
to worsening of the disease or a speedier death, and in healthy people, quickly
causes cancer.”
Dr Budwig
discovered that when she combined Flaxseed oil, with its’ powerful healing
nature of essential electron rich unsaturated fats, and cottage cheese, which
is rich in sulfur protein, the chemical reaction produced makes the oil water soluble and
easily absorbed into the cell membrane. I
found testimonials of people from around the world that had been diagnosed with
terminal cancer (all types of cancer), sent home to die and were now actually cured
and living healthy, normal lives. Not only had Dr Budwig been using her
protocol for treating cancer in Europe, but she also treated other chronic
diseases such as Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Irregular Heart Beat, Psoriasis,
Eczema (other skin diseases), Immune Deficiency Syndromes (Multiple Sclerosis
and other Auto Immune Diseases), Diabetes, Lungs (respiratory conditions),
Stomach Ulcers, Liver, Prostate, Strokes, Brain Tumors, Brain (strengthens
activity), Arteriosclerosis and other chronic diseases. Dr Budwig’s protocol
proved successful where orthodox traditional medicine was failing.
Since Dr
Budwig mentioned strengthening of the brain, I believe not only Multiple
Sclerosis, but also ALS “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”, Parkinson’s disease, and
Alzheimer’s disease could also be significantly impacted with her protocol. I
also believe that this protocol could have the greatest impact early into the
disease, and could very possibly reverse these diseases entirely. Dr Budwig
states, “A Swede has proved that (no brain function) can take place at all
without three fold unsaturated fats. Without any doubt, every function of the
brain---and this has been scientifically proved---needs the very easy
activation effect of three fold unsaturated fats. The same applies to nerve
functions and for regeneration within the muscle after strenuous muscle
activity, in the so called oxidative recovery phase during sleep. This process
requires the highly unsaturated, particularly electron-rich fatty acids in flax
seed oil. So, when I wish to help a very sick patient, I must first give the
most optimal oil I have. My opinion is flax seed oil.”
Dr Budwig
pointed out in her book that she often took very sick cancer patients from the
hospital with only hours or a few days left to live and had very good results
with her protocol, most of the time. I would assume some patients she worked
with were too badly damaged by the Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments. She
pointed out that in some of these patients she would start their therapy with
an enema of 500CCs of an oil mixture and “that their subjective awareness of
well being increased immediately.” She
pointed out that many could not urinate, produce bowel movements, or when
coughing were unable to bring up the mucous, but once the protocol was
initiated this started reactivation of the vital functions and the patients
immediately began feeling better. The Budwig diet appears to allow cancer cells
to start breathing again.
Here are a couple of testimonials I
found quite interesting and thought I would share with you. These testimonials
were found in Cliff Beckwith’s web site http://www.whale.to/a/beckwith.html.
Cliff’s story and his recovery from Stage IV Prostate Cancer using Budwig’s
Protocol is also there along with other cancer testimonials including lung,
colon, breast, ovarian, brain cancer and many more.
1. In a Christmas letter, Dec. 1993, we heard that a
friend of ours in
Joanie is an RN and she and her husband had been missionaries in
2. We were asked by a friend to send a tape to his son
whose wife was badly off with cancer. We have just learned that the
daughter-in-law had cancer through her lymphatic system and her brain. She used
4 Tbsp. of oil a day and today the tests for cancer are normal. The doctors
can't figure out what's happened and she is not saying anything. However, her
husband, mother, father and sisters are all using Flax oil for prevention.
Here’s a testimonial for man’s best
friend, and I’ve read where it works on cats to.

Subject: Re: [FlaxSeedOil2] mom dx with nsclc 8/03
Hello
Elena,
I feel real
good about my case and will very soon have tests
done that
should give a definitive answer to how I am doing. I was diagnosed on Oct. 8,
2002 with a large breast cancer - "lobular infiltrating carcinoma". I
began that same day on FO/CC. My cancer was very painful at first - in fact
that is when I discovered it, was when the pain awakened me at 5:00 a.m. I
started that same day eating FO/CC (Flax Oil/ low fat cottage cheese). By the middle of November my pain was all
gone and I have remained pain free. The tumor has shrunk dramatically, and my
doctor was even amazed. On October 14, I will have a C.A.T. scan. I have
already had a P.E.T. scan. The results of both of these scans will tell me the
whole story.
With the
P.E.T. scan, they injected into my veins sugar and radio-active-isotopes. The
sugar goes to all spots in my body where there is any cancer, and will even
show how large it is. It can be tracked by the radio active isotopes. I can
still feel a small ridge and I have wondered if that is scar tissue (since it
has been so long since I have felt any pain). Well, now when I get these
results, I will know if it is still cancer or just scar tissue. I will post to
this group whatever my results are.
I had no
doubts about beginning on the FL/CC regimen, as my husband had
a very
large and metastasized pancreatic cancer, in 1994.
He took
many things in the alternative field, but NOTHING IN the medical field, (unless
you want to consider his 3 weeks of IV treatments of Laetrile)
He also
took FO/CC 3 times a day.
To his
surgeon's astonishment, he was well in 5 months. After the surgery.
the surgeon
had told us that he would die and that he might live
3 to 6
months - 3 being most likely.
He had
gotten ill at the end of December, 1993 and was in and out of the hospital until
May 25, he had exploratory surgery and got the grim reports I reported above. But
after we got home and got him on the juicing, he just began getting better. I
was making fresh vegetable juice and giving him 12 ounces about every 2 hours. And
we followed the diet scruprously - no meat, absolutely no pork, no sugar, no
processed foods of any kind, etc. etc. and he just kept getting better.
Finally in
November 1994, I wrote to the surgeon and ask him if he would schedule a CT
scan for when we had an appointment on December 5, 1994.
He did that
and when he came to give us the report, he was just shaking his head. He said
"I don't know what to tell you folks, but there is no cancer in there. I
even had the radiologist come back and study that with me and we can see
nothing abnormal in there of any kind." So with that kind of
encouragement, I felt confident to do basically the same thing. Except that in
the meantime, I have learned a lot more about FO/CC and so I am going
mostly all
the way with that. I guess you could say I have put all my eggs in that one
basket. I know this is a long message and I am sorry. I hope it helps your
mother. My husband was 54 the year he
got sick. He is still well and still with me today.
Hope this
helps,
2. There is a melanoma case in Dr. Budwig's book
"Der Tod des Tumors" (The Death of the Tumor) p.85.
I will give
a partial and lose translation of it and paraphrase the first paragraph:
A Mrs.
Harriett had a malignant melanoma cut out of her thigh. About one and a half
years later she had lymph node metastasis at her left temple, which was treated
with radiation. Four months after that she had lymph node metastasis at her
left neck which were also brought under control with radiation. Two months
after that she had several skin metastasis over her body. That is when she came
to Dr. Budwig, evidently on her own. What follows are excerpts of a letter from
the woman's doctor to Dr. Budwig:
"A
patient of mine, Mrs. Harriett, has recently been treated by you..." A detailed history with dates follows as
outlined above without dates. "...After your treatment, all lymph nodes
and skin metastasis were in remission. Also, all blood test indicators were
normalized. I have never seen this happening with metastasized malignant
melanoma. I would be extremely thankful if you could tell me which therapy you
used. Since I have another patient with the same illness, I would be glad to
send her to you so as to extend her life. On the other hand, I would naturally
also gladly treat this patient here if you
would
instruct me of the method you used."
The above
information I found intriguing, but I still questioned why combining flax seed
oil and cottage cheese together was the impact on the body so intensive? I
believe I have found the reason and it’s mentioned below in several different excerpts
from her book.
The
following excerpt is from Dr Budwig’s book Flax Oil As A True Aid Against
Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer And Other Diseases which was translated
from German to English. This book is a must read for anyone trying to heal
themselves from a terminal or chronic disease.
Dr Budwig
states “What we need in Europe today, in
Dr Budwig,
in her book, brought up other areas of interest and how electron rich fats
affect other vital functions of the body. I will mention them, but will not go
into any detail, as one may purchase her books to learn much more than
presented in this paper.
The lack of
electron rich unsaturated fats affect;
Respiratory
enzyme function- It
is basically proven that highly unsaturated fatty acids are the undiscovered
decisive factor in achieving the desired effect of cellular respiratory
stimulation.
All
glands of the body
Brain
Function- Including
mental and spiritual
Scholastic
performance of children
Function
of the Heart-
Proper firing of the heart
Marital
infertility
Moral
and behavior problems
Human
sexual relationships
Cell
division
Formation
of tumors
Ingestion
of wrong fats- Humans
will eat six times their normal amount of food
Dr Budwig,
in her book, also brought up the relationship between the Fats Syndrome,
Electrons, Photons, and Solar Energy provided by the Sun.
She pointed
out that the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy and an element of life that
affects the vital functions of the body. This, in part, is due to the photons
in sunlight which are the purest form of energy, the purest wave, and in
continual movement. Dr Budwig states, “electrons are already a constituent of
matter, even though they are also in continual movement and that electrons love
photons, attracting each other due to their magnetic fields. There
is nothing else on earth with a higher concentration of photons of the sun’s
energy than man. This concentration of the sun’s energy---very much an
iso-energetic point for humans, with their eminently suitable wave lengths---is
improved when we eat food which has electrons which in turn attract the electro-magnetic
waves of sun beams, of photons. A high amount of these electrons which are on
the wave length of the sun’s energy, are to be found, for example, in seed
oils. Scientifically, these oils are even known as electron–rich essential
highly unsaturated fats. But, when people began to treat fats to make them keep
longer, no-one stopped to consider the consequences of this, for the existence
and higher development of the human race. These vitally important amounts of
electrons, with their continual movement and wonderful reaction of light were
destroyed.”
Dr Budwig
found when she treated patients and had them lie in the sun she noticed they
started feeling much better and became rejuvenated. She referred to the sun as
having a stimulating effect on the secretions of the liver, gall bladder,
pancreas, bladder and salivary glands. Dr
Budwig also stated “Matter always has its own vibration, and so, of course,
does the living body. The absorption of energy must correspond to one’s own
wave length.” It appears apparently that sunlight is absolutely essential for
the stimulation effect of the vital functions of the mind and body,
contributing to the factors which allow the body to heal itself. Dr Budwig
mentioned that doctors tell patients and cancer patients to avoid the sun as
they can’t tolerate it and that is correct. She says once these patients start
on her oil-protein nutritional advice for two or three days which means they
have been getting sufficient amounts of essential fats, they can then tolerate
the sun very well. She said the patients then tell her how much better they
feel as their vitality and vigor is re-stimulated.
The last of the points mention by Dr
Budwig and maybe the most important, is the electrons in our food serve as the
resonance system for the sun’s energy and are truly the element of life. Man
acts as an antenna for the sun. The interplay between the photons in the
sunbeams and the electrons in the seed oils and our foods, governs all the
vital functions of the body.
This has to
be one of the greatest discoveries ever made as this combination promotes
healing in the body of chronic and terminal diseases. In her book Dr Budwig
states “Various highly trained and educated individuals are dismayed and
irritated by the fact that serious medical conditions can be cured by cottage
cheese and flaxseed oil.”
The mixing
of the oil and cottage cheese allows for the chemical reaction to take place
between the sulfur protein in the cottage cheese and the oil, which makes the
oil water soluble for easy absorbsion into your cells.
The Budwig
Protocol
Only use Flax
Oil from the refrigerated section of your health food store. Never use
capsules, flakes or flax oil from the shelves. It must be refrigerated and
check the expiration date to make sure it has not expired. I would not use High Lignum Flax Oil because the taste
is not clean and you can not tell if it is rancid. They have left the husk from
the processing of the seeds in the bottom of the bottle, leaving less product.
You want good clean tasting oil and no
flavoring added as some oils are doing.
The mixing
ratio is two tablespoons of cottage cheese to one tablespoon of oil. Mix only the amount you are consuming at one
time so it is mixed fresh each and every time. One example would be to mix (4)
tablespoons of cottage cheese to (2) tablespoons of flax oil, consumed twice
daily or more depending on the severity of the health condition, one is
attempting to address. One should probably start slowly with the oil, maybe
just once a day and work their way up letting the body adjust to the protocol. The oil and the cottage cheese must be
thoroughly mixed at a low speed, using an Immersion Blender, blending until a
creamy texture with no standing oil is achieved. The mixture should then be
immediately consumed.
We have
always recommended using the immersion [stick or wand like]
mixer for the Flax Seed Oil and Cottage Cheese. Here is a link to photos of an
immersion mixer http://tinyurl.com/2wwte7.
One may
want to consider sprinkling a tablespoon or two of freshly ground flax seed
over top of the freshly mixed flax oil and cottage cheese mixture. Mix this in
by hand. This super charges the protocol. Do not buy pre-ground flax seed as
the flax seed goes rancid 15 minutes after grinding. Brown or Golden whole flaxseed
is available at the health food stores and either will work. You may grind up
the fresh flax seed with a small coffee grinder. Store the seeds in the
refrigerator and grind fresh each time.
.
You may
also stir in with a spoon 2-3 tablespoons of organic lowfat milk for a creamer
mixture. This can be mixed in by hand after the initial blending. The mixture
can be flavored differently every day by adding nuts, preferably organic such
as pecans, almonds or walnuts (not peanuts), banana, organic cocoa, organic shredded
coconut, pineapple (fresh), blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, or (freshly) squeezed fruit juice. It’s
usually best to place the fresh fruit on top of the completed mixture and enjoy
as its own meal. Try your best to obtain organic fruit when possible. Many
times this can be found frozen when not in season.
Dr Budwig
pointed out that people who are suffering from Chronic or Terminal disease
should work themselves up to consuming 4 - 8 Tbs of the oil daily. Usually the
higher limits 6 - 8 Tbs were for people with cancer. She stated, people with
Liver or Pancreatic Cancer etc, may have to work up very slowly with the oil
and possibly only start with 1 teaspoon at a time giving their body time to
adjust. Dr Budwig pointed out that cancer patients once starting the protocol
and getting it under control must continue with a maintenance dose to prevent
reoccurrence. A maintenance dose is considered (1) Tbs of the oil per one
hundred pounds of body weight. The Budwig Diet takes time to work and in the event
of cancer, tumors, etc may take 3-6 months to see results. Many other health
issues may respond much faster.
Also here
is a very good YouTube Video which actually shows how to make the Flax Oil and
Cottage Cheese mixture correctly. When starting the protocol you would not want
to make such a large amount at first, as shown in the video.
Here's the link to the YouTube page.

If you are
Lactose Intolerant you may want to try the following. Since commercial milk is
pasteurized, beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the milk and dairy products are
destroyed. This has led to a number of people having difficulty in tolerating
quark or cottage cheese.
Dairy is an
important component in Dr. Budwig's Oil-Protein Diet.
Because
good substitutes are hard to find, it is worthwhile for those
who are
lactose intolerant to try different ways of tolerating dairy.
Some
possibilities (in no particular order):
Use raw milk
and raw milk products if you can get them.
Use goat's
milk instead of cow's milk products.
Take the
enzyme Lactase with quark or cottage cheese.

FSO2 member
Cheryl du Toit says this about kefir in message #29710:
"Kefir
cottage cheese (or quark) is most certainly our solution for lactose
intolerant people.
It works like a charm."
If one does
not wish to make kefir, it can be purchased from the health food store in the
refrigerated section. Organic Kefir comes in a liquid and the oil may be
stirred into the kefir and consumed. It tastes very good. Make sure the oil is
totally dissolved into the kefir before consuming. You may want to check with
the health food store and see if they have a kefir cheese similar to cottage
cheese which should work, as long as the flax oil blends in and does not float
back to the top.
In the case
of a person with a feeding tube one could mix flax oil into the organic kefir
by hand as mentioned above. Then pour into the feeding tube. Again, this can be
done using ¼ cup kefir to 1 tablespoon of the flax oil and given through out
the day at different times. You may be able to use even a little more oil with
the ¼ cup kefir. One may have to play with the mixture to get the desired
results. Make sure there is no oil floating on top of the kefir before pouring
into the feeding tube.
Dr Budwig
noted prior to administering her protocol she had observed blood analysis of
seriously ill cancer patients which showed a strange greenish-yellow substance
in the place of the healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin. She found that
their blood, without exception, was deficient in substances called phosphatides
and lipoproteins. It has also been found that most people have blood that is 80%
deficient in Omega 3. Dr Budwig found that cancer patient’s blood, after three
months of using her protocol, returned to bright red and the tumors began
disappearing. Weakness and anemia disappeared and the life energy was restored.
Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction, and diabetes were completely alleviated.
It has been mentioned in several
articles that once a chronic or terminal disease has been brought under control
or into remission the amount of flax oil may be reduced to (1) tablespoon per
hundred lbs. of body weight for maintenance. To prevent reoccurrence of the cancer one should stay on the maintenance
dose.
If yogurt
is used in place of the cottage cheese it will require 3 times more yogurt to
be consumed than cottage cheese as it lacks the protein density of cottage
cheese. Even then, this may not be as effective. There is some question, as Dr
Budwig never addressed this issue. The yogurt will have to be (live cultures,
not the kind in the supermarket). An example of using the yogurt would be ¾ cup
of yogurt to 1 tablespoon of flax oil.
The following items listed below should
be avoided on this diet.
The reason
one needs to exclude these items from his / her diet is that they interfere
with the diet by lowering the voltage field in the cells.
Sugar
All animal
fats
All meats
Margarine
Butter
Salad
dressing oils- exception extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon

Dr Budwig Diet Plan
Dr Budwig
has a diet plan that is available in her cook book, The Oil Protein Diet Cook Book- It can
be purchased from www.amazon.com for
around $10.00.
The
following is an example of the protocol given in Dr. Budwig's book.
Most people
begin gradually adding healthy foods & liquids and
eliminating damaging ones. The diet seems simple, but foods are
powerful and can damage or heal a person. This protocol has over a
90% success rate, with all kinds of cancer patients, according to Dr.
Budwig, and those who studied and reported on her work in
a 50 year period. Many research studies done in the last ten years
support the cancer-fighting value of the foods, juices, sun exposure,
and relaxation which Dr Budwig recommended. There are many testimonials in the
files of the FSO2 group written by members who have regained their health by
following this protocol after being diagnosed with cancer-many terminal. To see
the files, click here.
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FlaxSeedOil2/files/
For diet details see: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FlaxSeedOil2/message/33782 The following are some excerpts from the
above message link.
To start
the diet, it helps to have 3 appliances. One is a coffee bean grinder to grind
the whole brown flaxseeds sold in health food stores or online. In Dr Budwig’s
protocol she used 2 to 3 tablespoons daily of the ground up flax seed. The flax
seeds should be ground and used immediately. They must be consumed within 15
minutes of grinding or considered rancid. They can be used in cereals, oatmeal,
shakes etc.
The 2nd
appliance is an immersion hand-held mixer, a somewhat
stick-shaped mixer, to blend the flaxseed oil [FO] and the cottage
cheese [CC] together so that they become one food, making the oil
water-soluble and more absorbable to the cells of the body.
The 3rd
appliance needed is a vegetable juicer. A masticating-type may give a more healthful
juice than a centrifugal type. Purchasing a vegetable juicer is absolutely
essential.
Patients with liver, gallbladder or
pancreatic cancer, may need to start with a lesser amount of the oil and build
up slowly to Dr Budwig’s recommended dosage. A transitional diet can be found
in the FSO2 files or in Dr Budwig’s book.
SUNSHINE - Sun on the skin is very healthful for vitamin D & other benefits
but avoid burning. If you feel up to having some
EXERCISE; INDIVIDUALIZE IT ACCORDING TO YOUR STRENGTH NEVER OVER DO IT. Dr. Budwig did not push the
idea of exercise, she felt that one needs rest to heal. So, take caution. [For
those who can exercise,
besides walking, a rebounder is beneficial for the lymph system, heart &
circulation. RELAXATION IN THE SUN IF POSSIBLE to relieve stress is
healing - nature, music, chat, laughter.[On days when you cannot be in the sun,
high-quality cold-pressed cod liver oil offers vitamin D & other benefits]
DR BUDWIG
STRESSED THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AVOID UNHEALTHY FOODS & SUBSTANCES
such as hydrogenated fats, animal fats, sugar, white flour, preservatives,
chemicals and processed foods. Avoid leftovers - food should be prepared fresh
and eaten soon after preparation to get the health-giving electrons & enzymes-within
15-20 minutes. At least 3x a day drink a warm liquid, such as green or herbal
teas,
sweeten only with raw honey. Keep a food diary. Avoid stress and anxiety; take
time to relax & enjoy each day. Listen to beautiful music, laugh, do deep
breathing, connect with nature, and spend time with people you like. Dr Budwig
spoke about the damaging effects of stress.
Also, she did not include supplements or drugs in her protocol. Some
supplements, especially high amounts of antioxidants, can interfere
with how well the diet works, as can some drugs.
Dr Budwig
in her protocol also used Eldi R Oils and Oil packs to help in the healing
process of chronic and terminal diseases. Dr Budwig created the Eldi Oils
(Electron Differentiation oils) through exact spectroscopic measurements via
the absorption of light in different oils. The Eldi Oils have a favorable
'retuning' effect on the metabolism for people who are ill. The
'retuning' effect relates to the creation of oxygen and energy within the
system. The sun’s energy resonates with the electronic energy created by
the flax oil and cottage cheese combination, and the Eldi oils do exactly the
same when applied topically to the skin or as a rectal enema. When applying in
a rectal enema it appeared she used ½ cup to 1 cup of the oils daily. It
appears a person would hold the oil for about 15-20 minutes before release. I
guess common sense will have to prevail. If Eldi oils are not available one can
use Flax Oil.
The
following protocol on how Dr Budwig used Eldi Oil R was sent to me from
Dr. J.
Budwig Eldi Oel R (Eldi Oil R): Application
Two times a day, i.e.
morning and evening, rub Eldi Oil R into the skin over the whole body, a bit
more intensively on the shoulders (armpits), breast and groin (where the
lymphatic vessels are) and also on the problem areas, like for instance
the breast, stomach, liver, etc. Leave the oil on the skin for about 15-20
minutes. Then take a warm shower without soap. Then follow up with another
shower, this time using a mild soap. Then rest for 15-20 minutes. The purpose
of the shower, after the body has been oiled and the Eldi Oil has penetrated
the skin, is that the warm water opens the pores so that the oil can penetrate
a bit deeper into the skin. The second shower, this time with soap, is for skin
surface cleaning so that clothes and linen will not become soiled too much.
Always use
the Eldi Oil R in connection with the Oil-Protein Diet (Budwig Diet) and do this consistently, even if it
seems difficult at times. The Oil-Protein Diet together with Eldi Oil is a
helpful method to improve problems and illnesses long term. The Eldi Oils in
small bottles with 95 ml content are all perfumed and contain, like Eldi Oil R,
only highly unsaturated fatty acids, but they are too expensive to be used for
the whole body. They are meant to be used this way for example:
Eldi Oel photo activ (photo active) only for the face.
Eldi Oel Rose for a woman’s body (rose oil).
Eldi Oel herb neu (tart new) for a man’s body (tart scent).
Eldi Oel H-activ (H-active) only for the breast region (heart) etc.
Eldi Oel balsamicum Salbei
(balsamic sage) is only for oil packs.
Take pure cotton 100% or a cotton cloth. Cut these to size for the body part,
for example the knee. Soak the cotton, place on the knee, cover the cotton with
a plastic sheet and wrap it all with an elastic bandage. Leave it on for the
night. Remove it in the morning and wash the knee. Repeat it in the evening and
do this for weeks. You can also use Eldi Oil R for these local applications.
The oil pack is only suited for local problems (no metastases).
