Flaxseed - 12 Centuries of Experience Back This Tiny, Cancer-Beating Seed

Did you know the Emperor Charlemagne, ruler of a large part of Europe in the 8th century, was so keen on flaxseed benefits that he passed laws to promote the food? Every citizen loyal to the king was expected to eat flaxseed for health.

5 July 2015

Now, twelve centuries later, we have the research to back up what Charlemagne suspected.

Some of us don’t need more convincing. Flaxseed is already a popular health food. You can find it everywhere and in wide a range of products, from frozen waffles to oatmeal. Flaxseed is used to feed chickens that lay eggs said to have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids. And well over 300 new flax-based products came out in the market over the past several years.

Here’s why flaxseeds are so astounding, and why they’re worthy of all the fanfare.

A tiny seed with a power-punch of health benefits

You’ll find two types of flax seeds in most health food stores: brown and yellow/golden. When put through an expeller press (also known as oil pressing), they create a vegetable oil. Both can be consumed, though brown flax oil is most commonly used in paints and for cattle feed.

A good nutritionist tells me there’s no nutritional difference between them.

We know flaxseeds (also called linseeds) have high levels of both fiber and lignans, along with various micronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids. They’re also high in manganese and vitamin B1.

Lignans play an important role in flaxseed’s health benefits. They’re a group of highly-concentrated phytochemicals found in plants. They’re also part of a major class of phytoestrogens, which are basically chemicals similar to human estrogen that can act as antioxidants when consumed. Along with that, lignans have beneficial hormone-like effects on the body.

Flaxseeds have a higher level of lignans than most other foods, although lignans can also be found in some cereal grains, fruits (especially strawberries and apricots), and vegetables (particularly the cruciferous ones like broccoli and cabbage).

A diet rich in flaxseed appears to lower cholesterol — especially so for women — along with helping to lower high blood pressure. The little seeds also help stabilize blood sugar levels and thereby help prevent or treat diabetes. Thanks to their dietary fiber content, they can be used to help with constipation. Flaxseed appears to be effective in reducing menopausal symptoms as well.

Yes, flaxseed helps with cancer…

Studies suggest that consuming flax seeds may benefit people with certain types of cancer, especially breast and prostate cancers.

A Duke University study suggested eating flaxseed might inhibit the growth of prostate tumors. And the lignans in flaxseed are believed to cause the body to produce less active forms of estrogen, which lowers breast cancer risk.

Evidence also suggests that consuming ground flaxseed on a regular basis decreases cell growth in breast tissue. Plus, animal studies have shown that both flaxseed oil and lignans can reduce breast tumor growth and the spread of cancer cells, including estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cells.

Yet, in total contrast, because flaxseed has been shown to affect intracellular signals in the body, some researchers believe it could help promote breast and prostate cancer growth. For this reason, they urge patients with ER+ breast cancer to use flaxseed with caution. Lignans are at the center of the controversy because of their potential estrogenic effects in the body. It’s the same hormone-related cloud that hangs over soy products.

This controversy over the phytoestrogens in soy and flaxseed is one of the most vexing in alternative health. I wonder if it will ever be resolved. Those who favor the use of phytoestrogens in treating breast and prostate cancer say the phytoestrogens occupy the estrogen receptors on cancer cells without doing any harm. They elbow out human estrogen and prevent it from worsening these types of cancer.

I come down (with some misgivings) on the side of those who say “Eat your flaxseed.” This is partly because of what I know about the Budwig Protocol.

The Budwig Protocol is one of the most acclaimed and popular alternative cancer treatments. It features flaxseed oil mixed with cottage cheese. My friend Bill Henderson, author of How to Cure Almost Any Cancer at Home on $5.15 a Day, swears by the Budwig Protocol. While flaxseed oil lacks the fiber, it enables you to take in a much larger dose of the lignans and omega-3s than you are ever likely to get from consuming the ground seed.

Thousands of people report controlling and even curing their cancer thanks to the Budwig Protocol (usually used along with other measures such as those Bill recommends in his book.)

There may be some controversy where the estrogen-sensitive cancers are concerned, but for other types of cancer — and as a preventive measure — flaxseed seems to be effective. And lignans also have antiangiogenic properties, meaning they can keep tumors from forming new blood vessels.

Also on the cancer-fighting front, the omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed are believed to keep malignant cells from hanging on to other body cells.

What’s better: Ground or whole flaxseed?

Most nutrition experts recommend ground flaxseed over whole. Ground flaxseed is easier for your body to digest, while whole flaxseeds can pass through your entire system and remain intact — meaning you won’t get the health benefits.

If you’re looking for a fiber boost, always choose ground flaxseed over flaxseed oil. The fiber is found in the seed coat, which is why you’re better off eating the seed itself.

A single tablespoon of ground flaxseed has roughly two grams of dietary fiber and two grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids (that includes omega 3s). A tablespoon of flax registers at only 37 calories.

Best ways to get your daily dose of flaxseed

For the most part, flaxseed is safe to consume. There could be some complications with toxicity if you eat a massive amount, but that’s true for just about any food. As I noted earlier, flaxseed can act as a laxative and give you diarrhea.

You can buy both whole and ground flaxseed in bulk at most grocery stores and health food stores. If you prefer to grind your own flaxseed, a coffee grinder does the trick. Just be sure to store all ground flaxseed in an airtight container and it will last up to several months. I recommend refrigerating the seeds as well.

Some easy ways to add flaxseed to your diet include:

• A tablespoon of ground flaxseed in your breakfast cereal (hot or cold)
• A tablespoon mixed into a serving of yogurt
• A tablespoon mixed into the mayonnaise or mustard on any sandwich
• Various amounts baked into breads, cookies, and muffins (I would have some concern about heat reducing the nutritional value) 

Don’t eat more than two or three tablespoons of ground flaxseed per day, or you might spend a lot of time in the bathroom.

Take Ten Steps for a Cancer-Free Life, Part I

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 by: Barbara L. Minton

(NaturalNews) Cancer will be the number one killer in the world by the year 2010, overtaking the spot now held by heart disease, according to a recent report from Associated Press. International health experts foresee a doubling in the global rate of cancer deaths by 2030. Cancer diagnoses have been steadily rising around the globe and are expected to hit 12 million this year, with deaths from cancer logging in at 7 million. By 2030 this appalling toll will hit 27 million diagnoses and 17 million deaths.

What can you do to make sure you are not among the gruesome statistics?

Assuming you do not smoke or drink excessively, here is a list of the top 10 steps for avoiding cancer. Anyone who has had cancer can use these steps to prevent a recurrence.

Make high quality food a priority

The quality of the food supply is very poor, being grown in depleted soil, transported long distances, stored, processed, and packaged. There is very little nutrition left in such food. Yet high quality nutrients are required by the body to keep it free of cancer. Food is a lot more than just calories. It is the bedrock of the body's defense, so only the highest quality, most nutrient packed food should be eaten. High quality food is not about what tastes the best, but what will make you feel the best.

It is up to us to be as proactive as we can when dealing with what life has offered if we hope to retain our health. Eating locally and organically grown and produced food is the best way to get maximum nutrition. Since everyone does not have access to this kind of food, the next best thing is to make a commitment to eat whole foods that retain their integrity and have not been processed. Whole foods are things like apples, celery, potatoes and chicken legs, items that have not been altered from their natural state.

Food prepared at home is best because restaurant food is low on nutrition and high on toxic chemicals. But stay away from packaged foods and other products of food technology. They are processed, low on nutrients, and usually chocked full of chemicals. They have been created to benefit the food company that manufactures them, not the person who has to eat them. A plant based diet that places primary emphasis on vegetables and fruits eaten raw offers the highest level of cancer preventing compounds. A diet that places primary emphasis on processed carbohydrates like pancakes, bread, cake and snack foods offers the lowest level of cancer protection.

If avoiding cancer is the goal, eat the highest quality food that can be found and afforded. When times are tough, think of an investment in high quality food as something that can never be taken from you, and will never lose its value. High quality food will enhance your looks and appeal to a much greater extent than a new outfit, hairdo or manicure. There is nothing that creates a radiant appearance like the glow of good health.

A diet that frequently includes known cancer fighting food is of tremendous value in the quest to remain cancer free. The Budwig protocol is the only well documented food cure for cancer. It consists of flax oil mixed with cottage cheese. Other known potent cancer fighters are berries, apples eaten with their seeds, almonds, Brazil nuts, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, green leafy vegetables, beans and other legumes, garlic, tea, grapes, red wine, avocados, and tomatoes. Most culinary herbs have cancer fighting properties so use them whenever possible. Turmeric, ginger, rosemary, cumin, and cayenne are among the richest in cancer fighting compounds.

Stay as chemically free as possible

When the body is chemicalized, the immune system is so busy dealing with the toxic chemical onslaught that it cannot do the jobs it was meant to do. One job of the immune system is to make sure the cancerous cells produced by the body every day are identified and eliminated before they can turn into a full blown cancer. The immune system perceives toxic chemicals as just what they are, foreign invaders that do not exist in nature. It responds by trying to oust these invaders from the body. While it is busy doing that, a few cancerous cells can slip by unnoticed and a cancer can begin.

We are living in a time of chemical assault like never before. Our food is full of chemicals, the air we breathe is polluted, and the water supply contains industrial waste and pharmaceutical residues. Our personal care and household products are a toxic chemical soup. Add to that the threat from electro magnetic fields (EMFS) such as produced by power lines, computers, cell phones and even electric alarm clocks, and the total environmental threat we deal with on a daily basis is mind boggling.

Anyone who has been on the standard American diet, taking prescription drugs, and using personal care and household products from traditional retail outlets has a huge store of toxins in the body that need to be eliminated before they can contribute to the development of cancer. This can be accomplished by practicing yoga and using the breathing techniques prescribed by yoga masters, or by deep tissue massage. For the first few times, each should be followed by a general purpose antioxidant supplement like R-Lipoic Acid, and the drinking of plenty of pure water. Both will flush out toxins. Cilantro juice is another way to flush out many toxins including heavy metals. Follow the juice with chlorella or IP6 to escort them from the body. There are many other detox formulas on the market.

It is relatively easy to find personal care, cosmetic, and household products that are free of toxic chemicals. Non-toxic products can be easily ordered on line and shipped to your home. Install a water purification system, preferably one that uses reverse osmosis to get the toxins out of your drinking water and the water in which you bathe. These are also available online. Let fresh air into your home or workplace whenever possible. Use houseplants to keep the air in your environment free of pollutants. One medium sized houseplant for every 100 square foot of space should do the trick. Larger plants provide even more natural air cleaning.

Do the best you can to rid your environment of EMFs. For starters, never sit with a laptop computer on your lap. Get rid of those old style televisions and computer monitors that emit huge amounts of radiation. Throw out your microwave. If you aren't buying packaged processed foods, you won't need it. For a quick heating device, get an inexpensive toaster oven. Move the alarm clock from next to the bed to across the room. Do not use a cell phone unless you have to, and then use it only with a headset or in the speakerphone mode. Never carry electronic gadgetry mounted on your body.

Learn to read labels. If you do not recognize the ingredients as compounds that occur in nature, do not buy the product.

Keeping yourself and your family as free of toxins as possible requires a new way of thinking and approaching life. One of the first priorities for making a purchase should be how much the product will add to the quest for a long and healthy life. When thoughts go in this direction you will begin to see how people are being manipulated and used by many of the large corporations. Producers that make products containing toxic chemicals are showing no regard for their customer's health or the well being of their families. They will use people however then can to enrich their bottom lines. As people become aware of this, their criteria for a purchase evolves to the point where they naturally purchase only products that will enhance their health.

Run away from prescription and over-the-counter drugs

Socrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food". If he were alive today he would probably be appalled by a society that is tightly in the grip of pharmaceutical companies. These companies sell patented toxic chemicals that do little or nothing to keep people well and healthy on any sustained basis. Their products mask symptoms that should be given attention. Symptoms are a wake up call that something is wrong. They need to be traced back to their cause, so the cause can be addressed and corrected, not covered up and ignored.

Whether it is a prescribed medication or an over-the-counter drug, the affect on the body is the same as with the toxic chemicals in food and other products. Drugs are lab created and do not exist in nature. If you put a drug into your body, your immune system has to deal with it as though it too is a foreign invader. Drugs raise the level of toxicity in the body and must be detoxified by a liver already stressed from trying to deal with the high level of environmental toxins.

No one gets better taking pharmaceuticals, and there is no healing. The side effects that are produced by one drug frequently lead to more prescriptions for more drugs in what becomes a vicious cycle. If people take enough drugs their bodies become chemical waste dumps where cancer can easily flourish. The reliance on drugs has diverted attention from the real issue, which is how to care for ourselves and keep ourselves healthy. Once people become truly health conscious, they resent the drug companies because they know that these companies do not have people's best interest at heart with the products they sell. They are just like the companies that make chemicalized foods, trying to get people's money without given anything of value in return. People who have wised up to the harmful effects of patent medicines see the constant barrage of commercials for drugs as blatant manipulation and brainwashing.

There are natural alternatives to drugs that do not just mask symptoms but actually produce healing. There is an abundance of natural compounds that can keep people in good health. These substances leave the immune systems and liver strong and able to provide protection from cancer.

Keep your gut healthy and happy

People have trouble with their stomachs and digestive tracts and write it off as an inevitable result of stress or aging. Yet many natural healers say death begins in the gut, a statement that underscores how vital the health of the gut is for overall well being. When the gut is not healthy, food cannot be properly processed and assimilated into the body, leaving people unable to have access to the wealth of nutrients that high quality food provides. Since it is these nutrients that provide protection from cancer, it becomes imperative that gut health be a priority in any anti-cancer effort.

The deterioration of the digestive system occurs over a period of years and can be signaled by sounds of a thunderstorm coming from the gut. Other symptoms include headaches, increased susceptibility to infection, gas, bloating, constipation, indigestion, and falling energy levels. Failure to address declining gut function creates an opportunity for cancer and other degenerative diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, lupus, arthritis, and psoriasis. Many chronic diseases start with gut deterioration.

The four pounds of bacteria that live in the gut are the backbone of the immune system. They are our unpaid personal bodyguards, willing to go to war against aberrant cells, bacteria, viruses, pathogens and foreign invaders to defend us. They also help out with digestion and make sure nutrients are absorbed so they can be used by the body to keep it healthy.

One of the worst things that can happen to ruin the happy relationship between people and their bacteria is antibiotics. They kill off the bodyguards along with the enemies, leaving no defense against unfriendly bacteria that would like to inhabit the intestinal tract. After a round of antibiotics, it is essential to take probiotics to reestablish friendly bacteria in the gut. Kefir, a culture that can be started in any kind of milk including coconut milk, offers powerful protection to the gut and as a result, to the entire body. Kefir culture is available online.

Even if no antibiotics have been taken, the herd of friendly bacteria in the gut can become depleted to the point where it can no longer do what it is meant to do. Pesticides in food are lethal to intestinal bacteria. Even if the skins of fruits and vegetables are well washed, pesticides remain because they work systemically and will be contained in the body of the produce. Chlorine is meant to kill bacteria in water and will kill off the bacteria in the gut as well. Eventually the gut becomes so depleted that it will be as though antiobiotics have been taken even if they have not. When this happens, unfriendly microorganisms are free to set up shop in the digestive tract.

Probiotics are friendly bacteria similar to the bacteria found in the guts of breastfed infants who have been provided this natural protection against many diseases by their mothers. Almost every supplement company sells probiotics in capsule form. Although they don't work as well as kefir at restoring depleted levels of bacteria, they are good for maintenance of a healthy digestive system. Yogurt will also help preserve the health of the digestive tract once it has been established, but it won't do much to help repopulate a digestive tract after antibiotic use or years of general neglect.

Restore declining hormones to optimal levels

For women and for men, achieving and maintaining hormonal balance is probably the single greatest intervention that can be taken to preserve health. Hormonal decline can start as early as the late 20's for women and the mid 30's for men. It is an opening door that leads to aging and degenerative diseases like cancer. While women and men have their hormones in abundance and in balance, they are vital, vibrant and reproductive. Nature has a use for them and wants to keep them around. When hormones decline and are not replaced, a powerful message is sent to nature saying these people are no longer necessary in the great scheme of life.

Hormones control mental and physical well being. Energy level, metabolism, brain functioning, skeletal integrity, mood, motivation, and zest for life are orchestrated by the hormones. All the hormones work together to keep us healthy and functioning at our best. If one hormone is not up to par, repercussions will manifest through all the body systems. If people do not feel well and at their best a large part of the time, chances are pretty good that at least one hormone is not at the level it should be. If they have trouble sleeping, feel depressed, gain weight without increasing food intake, have low energy during some part of the day, or have lost interest in sex or cannot perform, their hormone levels are probably declining and out of balance. For anyone who already has cancer or any other degenerative disease, hormonal imbalance is almost a sure thing. Until hormones are replenished and balanced, real sustainable recovery will be impossible.

The only way to achieve hormone balance is with bioidentical hormone replacement that restores hormone levels to where they were at the prime of life. Teenagers and people in their early 20's usually feel good and energetic most of the time. They do not have cancer. This is because they have a full complement of balanced hormones.

Achieving this level of hormonal balance and the vibrant health, joy of living and freedom from worrying about cancer and other diseases that goes with it, requires the help of a physician trained in anti-aging medicine or hormone balancing. Many traditional doctors have never heard of bioidentical hormones or if they have, they will advise their patients not to use them because they are not drugs. Since many bioidentical hormones are made at compounding pharmacies, this is a good place to start the search for hormone balance. Ask who they recommend.

Take Ten Steps for a Cancer-Free Life, Part II

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 by: Barbara L. Minton

(NaturalNews) Cancer statistics are mind boggling. Although the final numbers are not in yet, the American Cancer Society estimates the U.S. death toll from cancer in 2008 will be 565,650 people. About one third of these deaths are related to excessive weight or obesity, physical inactivity, and nutrition. About 1,437,180 new cancer cases were reported in 2008. The lifetime risk of developing cancer for men in the U.S. is a staggering 1 in 2. For women the statistic is 1 in 3. The country's population contains 10.8 million people who have had cancer at one time in their lives and are still living. Some of these are classified as cancer free, while others still have evidence of the disease and may be undergoing treatment. Now more than ever, it is critical to take steps to make sure you are not among the swelling numbers. Here are five more steps to avoiding this most dreaded disease.

Add anti-cancer compounds to your diet

Have you ever sat outside an office building or hospital where traditional medicine is practiced? If so, you have undoubtedly noticed the condition of the people going in and out. They are a graphic portrayal of what unhealthy people look like, and a glaring testimonial to the failure of medicine as practiced in the U.S. today. These people are receiving care from the great American medical system, but they look terrible. Their faces portray their misery, their bodies are contorted, and they move as though their cellular energy is about to flicker out. Traditional medicine ruins cellular energy.

The Western diet does not do much to enhance cellular energy either. Much of the food eaten involves the cooking or boiling of oils. The consumption of such foods lowers the voltage in the cells, depriving them of the energy they need for proper division and replication of DNA. The successful completion of cell division and DNA replication is critical to the avoidance of cancer. Omega 3 fatty acids help insure cells divide and DNA replicates without a hitch. Omega 3 fatty acids are also necessary for healthy blood to be able to carry needed oxygen to the cells because cancer cannot thrive in cells that are fully oxygenated.

One primary source for omega 3 fats that enhance cellular energy and function is fatty wild caught ocean fish, such as salmon. An alternative to eating fish is supplementing with high quality fish oil containing high amounts of omega 3s. Norwegian Cod liver oil supplies cancer stopping vitamins A and D along with small amounts of omega 3 fats.

Flax oil mixed with sulfurated protein such as organic cottage cheese is a proven and documented cancer preventative and cure. The works of Dr. Johanna Budwig documenting the cures she performed with a bottle of flax oil and a carton of quark, a European cheese similar to cottage cheese, are readily available from online booksellers. Johanna cured hundreds of cancer victims who had been sent home to die, and was nominated for several Nobel Prizes. Yet our traditional doctors have never heard of the Budwig protocol. Mix a tablespoon of organic flax oil for each 100 pounds of body weight into a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of organic cottage cheese until it is bonded and no oil is left standing. What you will have then is the most proven, highly documented cancer cure and preventative on earth. It's just that simple.

This mixture of electron rich fats from flax oil with sulphurated protein from cottage cheese creates water solubility allowing electrons from the flax oil to be carried right into the cells to reenergize and oxygenate them. When cells are energized and oxygenated, cancer cannot get started and any tumors that are there melt away.

Vitamin D is another powerful cancer preventative. Studies are popping up almost daily about the wonders of this vitamin in preventing and treating breast, lung, prostate, skin, and other cancers as well as lymphoma. Almost all Americans are deficient in vitamin D because they have been manipulated by corporate interests to stay out of the sun and apply toxic sunscreen to their bodies. Sun exposure is the best way to get vitamin D, but since this is not always possible, supplements of cod liver oil or vitamin D 3 are an alternative. There is not enough vitamin D in fortified dairy foods to make a dent in vitamin D needs. Vitamin D occurs naturally in salmon, tuna and other fatty fish, and organic butter fat.

Several studies have shown that people with high vitamin D levels have lower rates of cancer. Vitamin D stifles abnormal cell growth, helps cells die when they are supposed to, and curbs formation of blood vessels that feed tumors.

One good way to make sure you get any nutrient in which you might be deficient is to use whole food supplements that contain most or all nutrients. Taking isolated nutrients crammed into a multivitamin capsule offers nowhere near the same level of nutrition. One of the best of these is bee pollen, nature's whole food supplement that provides complete nutrition. In bee pollen these nutrients exist in perfect synergy enhancing each other to the fullest and creating high bioavailability. Bee pollen has been shown in studies to prevent and treat cancer. Avoid low quality bee pollen tablets because many of the nutrients are compromised in their processing. Choose bee pollen granules, preferably locally produced, that can be eaten by the spoonful. Chlorella, spirulina and alfalfa also offer broad based whole food nutritional support and are super immune system boosting cancer fighters. Drink organic green tea, and spice up your food with turmeric and other herbs and spices. Have a glass of red wine every day and enjoy cancer prevention.

Supplements of DIM, and chrysin combined with bioperine help keep estrogen ratios and processing at healthy levels. Saw Palmetto helps keep the conversion of testosterone to DHT at a minimum. To find out if any of these supplements are needed, see a physician who specializes in anti-aging medicine or hormone balancing for testing of hormone levels. If this is not possible, there are several labs that perform saliva testing by mail that can be found online. They supply a test kit for providing samples, and a complete report of their findings along with recommendations. Remember that hormonal harmony is one of the best defenses against cancer.

Get a handle on stress

It seems like stress is the number one gross national product, and these days stress levels for most Americans have been turned up one more notch. A little stress is good as an energy booster. Too much stress results in a continuous cortisol response in the body. Cortisol is the 'fight or flight' hormone produced in the adrenal glands. It's great to have high cortisol when we need to run away from a tiger. But continuously high levels in response to continuous stress produce weight gain and digestive issues, two high risk factors for cancer.

Hundreds of studies have documented how stress impacts the immune systems and compromises its ability to fight off foreign invaders and aberrant cells. In a recent study, norepinephrine, another stress hormone, was shown to increase cell proliferation, induce interleukin-6, and vascular endothelial growth factor, all believed to promote cancer. Researchers have found that supforaphane, a compound found in high amounts in broccoli sprouts inhibited this process. Sulphoraphane is found in lesser amounts in all the cruciferous vegetables.

Hormone balancing and omega 3 fats are also highly effective treatments for getting stress under control, even if there is no escape from the stressful situation. Having an activity you enjoy can offer stress-free periods in an otherwise stressful day.

Exercise sends a power message about who you are

When we laugh, dance, run, jump, and play we are sending a message to ourselves and to Mother Nature. This message says we are young, robust and full of life. It is a message that implies the ability to reproduce. The repercussions of this message are considerable to our overall health and the joy we get from being alive.

Of course, exercise is also good for the lymph system, the drainage system the body has for removing waste. When waste builds up inside the body it weakens the immune system, making it easier for cancer. A lymph system that is not flowing as it should increases toxic build up in all the organs and systems, and ends up dragging down the entire body. Breast cancer, lymphatic cancer and lymphoma are often the result of a clogged lymph system.

The lymph has no pump to keep it moving. It depends on physical movement to create the force to keep lymph fluid freely flowing. When people are sedentary, there is little movement of lymph and problems begin. Even when a person is unable to exercise because of having a job that requires sitting in a chair all day, lymph can be gotten moving by taking a walk around the building or jumping up and down in place. Doing this for a few minutes every hour allows the lymph system to do its job. Improved mental focus and energy level is the result. Keeping lymph moving sends a message that you really are still alive after all.

Moving the lower part of your body is great, but don't forget about your upper half. Most of the filtering of lymph fluid takes place in the upper part of the body. Get up and fling your arms around for a few minutes to get lymph moving. Orchestra leaders have the greatest longevity of any group of people.

Yoga is a wonderful exercise for the cancer conscious. The deep stretches of yoga flush out toxins from joints, and since yoga is a total body workout it really gets the lymph system moving. The deep breathing taught by the yoga masters sends massive amounts of oxygen to the cells to chase away any forming tumors. Yoga is great for fat burning too.

Find an exercise that is enjoyable, and commit to it. Pretty soon exercise will become second nature and you won't want a day to go by without it because it makes you feel so good. There is nothing like exercise for stress relief, and for a time to let thoughts flow freely. Exercise improves mood and outlook on life.

Sit in the sun whenever possible

The sun is the orchestra leader for the dance of life. Every living thing on earth vibrates to the energy of the sun, including people. For a long time people have been victims of a huge scam that made them think they were supposed to hide indoors or under a blanket of sunscreen while the rest of life basked in the glory of the sun. Now they are catching on that they too need the sun's life giving force.

The positive effect of the sun on the body is due in part to photons in sunlight which are the purest from of energy. That people are meant to be in relationship with the sun is indicated by their high level of photons that concentrate the energy of the sun in the cells of the body. This concentration is improved by eating the flax oil, cottage mixture that is the Budwig protocol, because the mixture helps attract the electromagnetic waves of the sun

Frolic in the sun to your heart's content. Just be careful not to get sunburned, as sunburn produces free radicals that promote aging.

Get a good night's sleep (that's 8 hours or more)

Remember when you were a youngster and your parents made you go to bed shortly after dark and you slept for 9 or 10 hours? You woke up full of energy, vim and vigor. This could be you again if you will only go to bed. Going to bed shortly after dark is the key to reestablishing the circadian rhythm of life and a way to get back in sync with nature.

Hitting the sack two or three hours before midnight gives the body a chance to complete the melatonin, prolactin cycle so essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and fighting cancer. According to the National Institutes of Health, three hours of melatonin production followed by six hours of prolactin production is what is necessary to achieve a fully functioning immune system that produces adequate T-cells and Natural Killer cells. Chronic lack of sleep results in exhaustion, depression, weight gain, and stress. These are the perfect conditions for cancer to begin.

Taking a sleeping drug may produce a stupor that resembles sleep but it is not sleep. None of the required body maintenance gets accomplished in this drug induced state, so a sleeping pill is a real waste of time. Sleep is critical to well being, but almost impossible if you are hormonally out of balance. Instead of asking for a prescription for a sleeping drug, find a doctor that specializes in hormone balancing or anti-aging medicine.

It's important to get these Z's in a room that is completely dark. Even the tiniest bit of light can cause melatonin production to cease and cortisol levels to rise. Obviously this precludes going to sleep with the TV on, and midnight raids on the refrigerator.

A cancer diagnosis is the worst moment in a person's life

The cancer industry is big business at its worst. It recruits patients by telling them the lie that they have no control over whether or not they get cancer. The cancer establishment likes to have people think that cancer is a magical disease that comes out of nowhere and randomly singles them out. It wants everyone to believe there will be no cure for the disease until the drug industry magically finds one. This will never happen because the drug industry benefits from people having cancer, just as the cancer establishment does.

Those who have been diagnosed with cancer say it was the worst moment of their life, not because they were afraid of death, but because of the treatments. A diagnosis of cancer is so terrifying that it strips people physically, mentally and emotionally, leaving them just where the cancer industry wants them. Vulnerable. In a vulnerable state most people will agree to do as they are told.

The cancer industry depends on this vulnerability turning people into patients who think if they do not do as they are told, right away and always, they are doomed. Fear is the mother's milk of the cancer industry. This is why cancer doctors love to quote statistics that frighten and bewilder. And this is why cancer treatments are so torturous and scary. As long as the cancer industry has people too scared to think straight it has a steady stream of dependable revenue.

More people die from the treatments for cancer than of cancer itself. The treatments destroy the immune system and organs so that people may remain alive for awhile but will never achieve good health again. For them life becomes a constant battle against other diseases and the side effects of the toxic treatments and follow up. Radiation and chemicals cause cancer. They can never cure it.

Cancer really can be prevented and cured

People can prevent cancer and cure it. This has been proven and the scientific case studies are there. Hormonal imbalance, chemicalization, lack of proper nutrition, unhealthy digestive tract, reliance on drugs, too much stress, lack of exercise, and not enough sleep have all been shown to cause cancer. People who choose to address these areas of their lives will be on their way to living long, happy lives that are cancer free.

Can This Simple Water Purifier Also Cure Cancer?

16 June 2013

Newsletter #300
Lee Euler, Editor   

Jim Humble was hoping to strike pay dirt on a gold mining expedition. A friend offered Humble, a retired miner, a generous share of profits from his South American gold mine in return for some help.

    Early in their trek, several members of the team came down with malaria. The men lay in their hammocks shivering from chills and running high fevers.


They also had other malaria symptoms including headaches… aching muscles and joints… nausea… diarrhea… and vomiting.

    Unfortunately, the closest village with malaria medications was at least two days away through rugged jungle!

    Humble thought about the stabilized oxygen he'd brought to purify his drinking water. He decided to give some to the sick workers.

    To everyone's amazement, within an hour the shivering stopped. And within four hours, the men were talking and laughing at the dinner table!

    Because he wanted to understand what caused the amazing turnaround, Humble spent a few years studying how stabilized oxygen affects the malaria parasite.

    What he found out has saved the lives of thousands.

    Humble discovered that it wasn't the stabilized oxygen that clobbered malaria. It was the trace amounts of chlorine dioxide and its chlorite ion that did the trick!

    By using higher concentrations of sodium chlorite with an activator, Humble has helped more than 75,000 folks in Africa cure malaria, hepatitis, AIDS, and even cancer.

    Humble called his product Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS) initially. But persecution from — who else? -- the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prompted him to change the product name to Miracle Mineral Solution.

    I often receive inquiries about the MMS treatment. It gets a lot of word of mouth. It's not one of my favorites, for reasons I’ll explain in a moment, but there’s not much doubt it's racked up some successes. The people who advocate it believe it's safe, considering that...

• Chlorine dioxide has been approved as a water purifier for nearly 70 years.¹
• Medical professionals have used chlorine dioxide as an antiseptic and pathogen killer for more than 100 years.
• Chlorine dioxide and chlorite were used to decontaminate public buildings following the 2001 release of anthrax spores in the United States².

    You see, the FDA cops objected to selling his product as a health "supplement" because it hadn't gone through their rigorous approval process. For this reason, MMS is now sold only as a water purifier and is not labeled a supplement.

ClO2 = The Formula for a New Cancer Killer!

    Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound made of one chlorine ion bound to two ions of oxygen.

    MMS is a solution of 28% sodium chlorite ion in distilled water. The solution changes to chlorine dioxide when you add an "activator" of lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid. Because only certain substances work as activators, it's very important to follow Humble's protocol when using MMS.

    When chlorine dioxide contacts harmful pathogens, it snatches their electrons. This causes a sort of microscopic explosion—which won't harm YOU, but destroys pathogens.

    This means harmful bacteria, viruses and other parasites die when they meet up with chlorine dioxide ions.

    My friend Ty Bollinger, author of Cancer: Step Outside the Box, puts it this way: "Once chlorine dioxide ["activated" sodium chlorite] is introduced into the bloodstream, it performs a highly energetic acceptance of four electrons when it comes across any cell that is acidic (a pH below 7.35). This means that diseased cells are essentially vaporized while healthy cells are unaffected."

    This spells trouble for cancer cells, which are known to thrive in acidic conditions.

MMS Provides REAL Healing for Real People

    In his book The Miracle Mineral Solution of the 21st Century, Jim Humble relates the experience of one pancreatic cancer patient whose cancer had returned following surgery.

    The patient decided to take MMS in the 60 days leading to his next exploratory surgery at the Mayo Clinic. The results?

    Humble said, "Within 2 weeks his cancer readings began to decline. The high reading was 82… At the next visit to the hospital the reading was 71.

    "A month later the reading was 55. Two months later it was 29, and so on until the reading was less than 5.

    "The doctors at the hospital didn't know what had happened, but as soon as the readings began to go down, they canceled the appointment at the Mayo Clinic. . .When the reading reached 3, they said there was no point in further testing."

    This man's story is no isolated incident. Consider these experiences from others who have used MMS to treat tumors, cancers, and other health conditions:

• "I have been taking MMS now for over a year… I have never felt better and I had an ovarian cyst, [which] has been a problem all my life, disappear after being told there was no cure for it!"
  —Lynn³
• "I was told 4 weeks ago my mother had months to live with stage 4 uterine cancer… Four doctors told me that my Mom was a goner and it was just a matter of time. After taking MMS1 and MMS2 for almost a month… the cancer is almost gone from my mom's body! The doctors and surgeons said it was a miracle and did not know how to respond. They were amazed!"
  —Sara⁴
• "One of my family friends has bone marrow cancer and before Thanksgiving he was told he would not see Christmas. He started MMS [around] Thanksgiving and he has gained his strength back to go out and do things with his sons. He has told me his blood work is improving rapidly—he isn't telling the doctors what he is taking but he is not gray anymore!"
  —Kim⁵

    This is just a sample of the thousands of folks with positive stories of health improvement—thanks to MMS. But the treatment can cause a few side effects. From what I've been able to learn, MMS can be difficult to use and to tolerate. A significant number of patients complain of nausea — even vomiting -- and stop taking the drops for that reason. Others find it hard to follow the precise directions, which require taking the MMS drops as often as six times a day.

    One savvy reader wrote me that MMS works better than chemotherapy because it IS chemotherapy. You're using a known poison, chlorine, to kill the cancer cells or the parasites that cause them. He may have a point.

    Most of the evidence I've seen is anecdotal (like the testimonials quoted above). MMS is by no means a simple miracle that will work for every cancer patient, but I'm inclined to believe the reports that many people find pain relief, improved energy and even complete remission from cancer as well as other diseases — provided they're able to stick with it. From what I gather, a lot of people can't.

    I'm going to hazard a guess that MMS is perhaps more effective with diseases that are known to be infectious (such as malaria) than with cancer. The infection theory of cancer is controversial. I've become a lot more interested in it as I learn more, but I'm withholding judgment.

    Quite a few alternative cancer doctors swear by the microbe and/or parasite theories and they've had success treating patients. But they usually use multiple cancer therapies at once and their success may or may not be due to killing off the critters. It's just not clear to me yet how all the pieces fit together — do parasites cause cancer or are they just frequently found side by side with it? The anti-infection and anti-parasite protocols work for some patients and not for others.

    My good friend Bill Henderson, author of the book Cancer-Free, tells me, "I have high confidence in MMS for killing pathogens, including cancer cells. The only real problem is that this is not how you get over cancer. You get over it by revising the physiology of your entire body to make it hostile enough to cancer cells again that it will keep them under control as a healthy body normally does. So just like lots of other things that are effective at killing cancer cells, I usually don't recommend MMS except as a 'last resort'."

    I agree. There are other treatments I'd try first, including the Budwig protocol that's Bill's first-line recommendation.

    You can read more about MMS—and even purchase some if you choose—at Jim Humble's website: www.miraclemineral.org.

    Humble's discovery is certainly fascinating and deserves more study than it will ever get from our boneheaded medical establishment. You may be one of the people who find that this water purifier can provide the healing waters of life you need!

    Jim Humble's discovery is probably more effective and safer than the chemotherapy drugs handed out by mainstream medicine. At least he's not falsifying the evidence, the way the drug companies do. Last issue I discussed how they routinely practice fraud. You don't have to take my word for it. It was published in a major scientific journal. Read this important news (just below) before you sign on for chemo...

Why Conventional Cancer Drugs Don't Work: Drug Companies have Cooked the Results

Cancer is cured safely, in spite of widespread suppression by the "cancer industry"

Saturday, June 01, 2013 by: Michelle Goldstein


(NaturalNews) Pioneering, dedicated researchers have discovered numerous holistic cancer treatments in this country beginning in 1840. These natural protocols save lives from "incurable" cancer.

Leading cancer experts and authors Dr. Samuel Epstein and Ralph Moss, author of the Cancer Industry, among others, have documented widespread efforts to thwart safe, cancer cures in the United States. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

The FDA will only approve pharmaceutical, synthetic drugs for cancer treatments. However, even Burzynski's attempts to patent and use lifesaving antineoplastons have met violent opposition. See award winning documentary: (http://burzynskimovie.com/ )

Sadly, most Americans continue using toxic and invasive radiation, chemotherapy and surgery to treat their cancers, with dubious results. A fortunate minority have discovered effective and safe "alternative cures".

Hoxsey therapy and Essiatic Tea use potent herbs to cure cancer

Native Indians used the herb blood root to cure cancer for centuries. In 1840 John Hoxsey discovered the Hoxsey therapy which contained blood root, along with other herbs with anticancer properties. This treatment was used to successfully treat advanced cancers at 17 Hoxsey Cancer Clinics from 1924 to 1960, before being forced to close and move to Tijuana, Mexico. In 1954, ten physicians evaluated hundreds of case studies and patients, concluding that Hoxsey therapy left patients free from cancer from 6-24 years and in excellent health.

Essiac tea, comprised of 4 types of herbs, was successfully used by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse, Dr. Brusch and several practitioners in Canada and the U.S. to reverse thousands of cases of advanced cancers. This formula also originated from Native Americans. It was destroyed by the Canadian Ministry when Caisse died in 1978. Dr. Brusch, in the U.S., was able to create a new version of the remedy, known as Flor-Essence and marketed as a detoxifying tea.

Nutritional "Gerson therapy" cures cancer

Brilliant physician Max Gerson developed the Gerson therapy in the 1930's. This treatment combined organic vegetarian juices and coffee enemas to successfully treat thousands of patients from cancer and other diseases. Gerson published 50 medical papers and 3 books describing his treatment methods in detail. Gerson clinics were eliminated in the U.S., but exist in Mexico and Hungary, through the tireless efforts of Gerson's daughter Charlotte. Gerson therapy continues to save lives. (www.Gerson.org)

Laetrile, vitamin B17, works like an anticancer smart bomb

Laetrile, a pure form of B17, has been used by physicians around the world with widely documented success to ingeniously treat cancer. The vitamin is found abundantly in certain cultural diets, where no cancer exists. American physician Binzel demonstrated an 87.3 success rates for advanced cancers treated with Laetrile, compared to 0.1 percent for cancers using conventional methods.

Every American physician who used Laetrile was arrested, taken to court, put in jail or had their medical license removed for the "crime" of curing cancer patients. The cancer industry went on to almost entirely eliminate the sale in the U.S .of apricot seeds, a rich source of vitamin B17. Some clinics continue to offer Laetrile treatments including the Reno Integrative Medical Center (www.renointegrative.com) and two clinics in Tijuana, Mexico.

Additional safe cures and resources

Dr. Kelly's ingenious, highly effective enzyme therapy has survived at Dr. Gonzalez's clinic in N.Y.C. (www.dr-gonzalez.com). Protocel, which rids the body of anaerobic cells, has cured thousands from cancer, at a cost of $60-85/month. (www.YourVitaminDepot.com), (www.Protocel.com) and (WebNd.com). Other effective treatments include: the Budwig Diet (www.budwigcenter.com), low dose naltrexone (www.lowdosenaltrexone.org), Poly-MVA, IV vitamin C, and the ketogenic diet (www.ketogenicdiet.com).

Excellent resources for natural treatments and prevention include Tanya Pierce's Outsmart Your Cancer, Suzanne Somer's Knockout, Cancer Prevention Coalition (http://www.preventcancer.com) and Tony Isaacs' anti-cancer protocol (http://www.naturalnews.com/022808_cancer_health_supplement.html).

Budwig Diet - the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world

Dr. Johanna Budwig Diet for Cancer, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, etc.

Flaxseed oil and cottage cheese . . .

Six time Nobel award nominated doctor says this essential
nutrient combination actually prevents and cures cancer!

by Robert Willner, M.D., Ph.D.

author of "The Cancer Solution"

Dr. Johanna Budwig Mix:

Mix until creamy with your electric hand mixer (blenders may whip too much air into the mix and oxidize the flax oil):

1 cup Organic 2% cottage cheese and 2-5 Tbsp. of flaxseed oil. Make sure that you completely mix the cottage cheese and flax seed oil before adding anything else. There is a synergetic effect that is important. When this is creamy, you may add a little distilled or spring water to thin the mix. Then add:

1-3 Tbsp. of freshly ground up "Golden" flaxseeds (coffee grinder ($15) works fine) and a little cayenne.


Optional:

• Agave or honey
• Strawberries
• little garlic little red pepper little champagne
• Make it very soft.
• Eat some of it every day.
• (P.S. Adjust quantities for your taste!)

Important: Flax oil must be fresh, kept in a dark bottle, and refrigerated. After initially opening the bottle of flax oil to remove the seal, you should not keep opening the bottle and allow air in. One of the best flax oils and bottles are those sold by Barlean's. You should always get the flax oil with lignans. Once you have initially opened the bottle to remove the seal, never remove the cap again. To dispense the oil, just turn the bottle upside down, flip open the cap, and squeeze. This way, very little air will get in the bottle.

THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET

The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world".

Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.

The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.

The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, chive, onion and garlic, but especially cottage cheese.

Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly unsaturated fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxidation. It is essential to use only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, soya, poppyseed, walnut, and corn oils. Such oil should be consumed together with foods containing the right proteins otherwise the oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing more harm than good.

The best combination is cottage cheese and linseed oil. The linseed should be freshly ground. Carbohydrates containing natural sugar, such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in the diet. Honey is also beneficial. Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotine as provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed. Vitamin B from buttermilk, yoghurt, and natural yeast is beneficial.

A person requires daily about 4 oz. of cottage cheese mixed well with 1.5 oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of milk. A blender or egg beater works fine. The mixture an be sweeten with honey or otherwise flavored naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning 2 spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil should be taken in luke warm buttermilk or yoghurt.

The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart ailments (corony thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight. It is the ideal nutrient for children and infants. It is suggested that this diet be supplemented with lactic acid ferments (4).

"What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)... " (Roehm, "Townsend Letter for Doctors", July 1990) GENERAL RULES

The patient has no nourishment on day #1 other than 250 ml (8.5 oz) of Flax Oil with honey plus freshly squeezed fruit juices (no sugar added!). In the case of a very ill person, champagne may be added on the first day in place of juice and is taken with the Flax Oil and honey. Champagne is easily absorbable and has a serious purpose here.

1. SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. Grape juice may be added to sweeten any other freshly squeezed juices.
2. Other 'forbiddens' are: All animal fats. - All Salad Oils (this included commercial mayonnaise) - All Meats (chemicals & hormones) - Butter - Margarine - Preserved Meats (the preservatives block metabolism even of Flax Oil)
3. Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine - carrot, celery, apple, and red beet.
4. Three times daily a warm tea is essential - peppermint, rose hips or grape tea - all sweetened as desired with honey. One cup of black tea before noon is fine.

DAILY PLAN

Before breakfast - a glass of Acidophilus milk or Sauerkraut juice is taken.

Breakfast - Muesli (regular cereal) is overlaid with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Flax Oil and honey and fresh fruit according to season - berries, cherries, apricots, peaches, grated apple. Vary the flavor from day to day. Use any nuts except peanuts! Herbal teas as desired or black tea. A 4 oz (120 g) serving of THE SPREAD (directions below). This is fine to eat 'straight' like a custard, or add it to other foods taken in the day as you will see.

Morning tea (10am) - A glass of fresh carrot juice, apple, celery, or beet-apple juice is taken.

Lunch - Raw salad with yoghurt-Flax Oil Mayonnaise (directions below). In addition to 'greens' salads, use grated turnips, carrots, kohlrabi, radishes, sauerkraut or cauliflower. A fine powder of horseradish, chives or parsley may be added for flavor.

Cooked Meal Course - Steamed vegetables, potatoes, or such grains as rice, buck-wheat or millet may be served. to these add either THE SPREAD or THE MAYO - for flavor and to up your intake of Flax Oil. Also mix THE SPREAD with potatoes for an especially hearty meal. Add caraway, chives, parsley or other herbs.

Dessert - Mix fresh fruit other than those used for breakfast with THE SPREAD, this time (instead of honey), flavored using cream of lemon, vanilla or berries.

Afternoon Tea (4pm) - A small glass of natural wine (no preservatives) or champagne or fresh fruit juice with 1-2 tablespoons of honey-coated Fax Seeds.

Supper - Have this early, at 6pm. Make a hot meal using buckwheat, oat or soy cakes. grits from buckwheat are the very best and can be placed in a vegetable soup, or in a more solid form of cakes with herbal sauce. Sweet sauces & soups can always be given far more healing energy by adding THE SPREAD. Only honey or grape juice can be used for sweeteners. NO white sugar (or brown!) Only freshly squeezed juices and NOT reconstituted juices (preservative danger) may be used. These must be completely natural.

How to prepare 'THE SPREAD'

Place 250 ml (8.5 oz) Flax Oil into a mixer bowl and add one pound (450 g) of 1% Cottage Cheese (ie low fat eg Quark) and add 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of Honey. Turn on the mixer and add just enough low fat milk or water to get the contents of the bowl to blend in together. In 5 minutes, a preparation of custard consistency results that has NO taste of the oil (and no oily 'ring' should be seen when you rinse out the bowl).

Alternatively, you can use Yoghurt instead of Cottage Cheese in proportions of 1 oz (30 g) of Yoghurt to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of Flax Oil and of honey and blend as above.

NOTE: When Flax Oil is blended like this, it does not cause diarrhea even when given in large amounts. It reacts chemically with the (sulphur) proteins of the cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc.

How to prepare 'THE MAYO' (Mayonnaise):

Mix together 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Flax Oil, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Yoghurt.

Then add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Lemon juice (or Apple Cider Vinegar) and add 1 teaspoon (2.5g) Mustard plus some herbs such as marjoram or dill.

Next add 2 or 3 slices of health food store pickles (no preservatives! - read label!) and a pinch of herbal salts.

(The above mayonnaise plus lots of mustard and a few bananas is very tasty!)

Concluding remarks by Dr. Roehm - "I only wish that all my patients had a PhD in Biochemistry and Quantum Physics to enable them to see how with such consummate skill this diet was put together. It is a wonder. The champagne vehicle IS easier to assimilate and get someone almost on their death-bed going again. A retention enema of 250 ml (8.5 oz) of oil is another route to get this precious life-furthering, ELECTRON-RICH oil into the body. It can also be applied to the skin for transdermal absorption. I'll answer your questions and give you "special orders" for you particular case.

You will have to remain on this diet for a good 5 years, at which time your tumour may have disappeared. Persons who break the rules of this diet, Dr Budwig reports, (ie eating preserved meats, candy, etc) will sometimes grow rapidly worse and cannot be saved after they come back from their spree (bon-bons mean bye-bye).

In 1967, Dr Budwig broadcast the following sentence during an interview over the South German Radio Network, describing her incoming patients with failed operations and x-ray therapy":

"Even in these cases it is possible to restore health in a few months at most, I would truly say 90% of the time".

"This has never been contradicted, but this knowledge has been a long time reaching this side of the ocean, hasn't it? Cancer treatment can be very simple and very successful once you know how. The cancer interests don't want you to know this.

May those of you who have suffered from this disease (and I include your family and friends in this) forgive the miscreants who have kept this simple information from reaching you for so long".

"The best, purest, most carefully prepared Flax Oil in America is, in my opinion", said Roehm, "is Omegaflo. Arrowhead mills label is most often seen in Florida (USA). Look for the Omegaflo".

"FLAX (LINSEED) OIL is readily denatured by oxygen, heat, and light. That's why it is used in paint. Rancid oil is bad for health, so oil MUST be carefully produced, packed under nitrogen in light-proof containers, refrigerated until used, used as fresh as possible, and stabilised with protein (THE SPREAD, etc) promptly once the container is opened..."

Flax Seeds may also be used. Seeds need only be cracked in a food blender, or they may be ground in a coffee grinder. One needs three times the amount of seed to get the oil equivalent. Seeds are high in calories, so one may gain weight. The seeds are also high in soluble fibre, so blending with liquid tends to produce ever-hardening "jellies". Fresh-cracked seed sprinkled on muesli & eaten promptly tastes great.

Ed McCabe (p85, "Oxygen Therapies") discusses his point of view on essential fatty acids:

"The red blood cells in the lungs give up carbon dioxide and take on oxygen. They are then transported to the cell site via the blood vessels, where, they release their oxygen into the plasma. This released oxygen is "attracted" to the cells by the "resonance" of the pi-electron" oxidation-enhancing fatty acids. Otherwise, oxygen cannot work its way into the cell. "Electron rich fatty acids" play the decisive role in "respiratory enzymes, which are the basis of cell oxidation...".

"Dont eat anything hydrogenated like (like margarine, or fried foods) as it defeats oxygenation. Avoid products that say "hydrogenated".

"We should eat essential polyunsaturated fatty acids to enhance oxygenation. They can be found naturally in Carotene, Saffron, and Flaxseed oil."

Who is Dr. Johanna Budwig?

Dr. Johanna Budwig is known and highly respected around the world as Germany's premier biochemist. In addition, Dr. Budwig holds a Ph.D. in Natural Science, has undergone medical training, and was schooled in pharmaceutical science, physics, botany and biology. In all courses, this brilliant scientist excelled.

She is best known for her extensive research on the properties and benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins in the diet, and over the years has published a number of books on the subject, including "Cancer--A Fat Problem," "The Death of the Tumor," and "True Health Against Arteriosclerosis, Heart Infarction & Cancer."

Dr. Budwig has assisted many seriously ill individuals, even those given up as terminal by orthodox medical practitioners, to regain their health through a simple regimen of nutrition. The basis of Dr. Budwig's program is the use of flaxseed oil blended with low-fat cottage cheese.

In the mid 1950's, Dr. Budwig began her long and meticulous research on the importance of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic) in the diet. Her subsequent discoveries and announcements sparked mixed reactions. While the general public was eager for this astounding information, German manufacturers of commercial dietary fats (margarine, hard shortening, vegetable oils) went to extremes to prevent her from publishing her findings. Fortunately, while Dr. Budwig's vital announcements were initially met with resistance backed by those with financial stakes in the commercial fats industry, her persistence paid off. Today, Dr. Johanna Budwig is world renowned for her important discoveries on the benefits of flaxseed oil. Her fame precedes her as she lectures all over Europe.

Fats-Good and Bad Dr. Johanna preaches against the use of what she calls "pseudo" fats. In order to extend the shelf life of their products, manufacturers use chemical processes that render their food products harmful to the body. These harmful fats go by a number of names, including "hydrogenated," "partially hydrogenated" and even "polyunsaturated."

The chemical processing of fats destroys the vital electron cloud within the fat. Once the electrons have been removed, these fats can no longer bind with oxygen, and they actually become a harmful substance deposited within the body. The heart, for instance, rejects these fats and they end up as inorganic fatty deposits on the heart muscle itself.

Chemically processed fats are not water-soluble when bound to protein. They end up blocking circulation, damage heart action, inhibit cell renewal and impede the free flow of blood and lymph fluids. The bio-electrical action in these areas slows down and may become completely paralyzed. The entire organism shows a measurable loss of electrical energy which is replenished only by adding active lipids to the diet. These nutritional fats are truly vital for man and beast alike.

Science has proven that fats play an important role in the functioning of the entire body. Fats (lipids) are vital for all growth processing, renewal of cells, brain and nerve functions, even for the sensory organs (eyes and ears), and for the body's adjustment to heat, cold and quick temperature changes. Our energy resources are based on lipid metabolism. To function efficiently, cells require true polyunsaturated, live electron-rich lipids, present in abundance in raw flaxseed oil. True polyunsaturated fats greedily absorb proteins and oxygen and pump them through the system.

Lipids are only water-soluble and free-flowing when bound to protein; thus the importance of protein-rich cottage cheese. When high quality, electron-rich fats are combined with proteins, the electrons are protected until the body requires energy. This energy source is then fully and immediately available to the body on demand, as nature intended.

Proven Benefits Still Pouring In Since Dr. Johanna Budwig's findings on the benefits of flaxseed oil have been widely publicized, scientists around the world have eagerly jumped on the bandwagon. Studies conducted using flaxseed oil on numerous disorders have been pouring in from all over the world, showing impressive results, including anti-tumor activity, increased metabolism, greatly boosted immune system, reduced cholesterol levels, normalized blood pressure levels and inhibition of cancer cell growth. Books research reports, articles and testimonials abound, all touting the healthy benefits achieved by supplementing the diet with organic, raw, cold-pressed flaxseed oil with low-fat cottage cheese. Dr. Budwig's research was based on using the ratio of 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil mixed with one-quarter cup of low fat cottage cheese.

Backed with all this extensive research, the indisputable fact is: Supplementing your diet daily with flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins could very well be the most important thing you do for yourself every day.

A top European cancer research scientist, Dr Johanna Budwig, has discovered a totally natural formula that not only protects against the development of cancer but people all over the world who have been diagnosed with incurable cancer and sent home to die have actually been cured and now lead normal healthy lives.

After three decades of research Dr. Budwig, sixtime nominee for the Nobel Award, found that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients was always, without exception, deficient in certain important essential ingredients which included substances called phosphatides and lipoproteins. (The blood of a healthy person always contains sufficient quantities of these essential ingredients. However, without these natural ingredients cancer cells grow wild and out of control.)

Blood analysis showed a strange greenish-yellow substance in place of the healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin that belongs there. This explained why cancer patients weaken and become anemic This startling discovery led Dr. Budwig to test her theory.

She found that when these natural ingredients where replaced over approximately a three month period, tumors gradually receded. The strange greenish elements in the blood were replaced with healthy red blood cells as the phosphatides and lipoproteins almost miraculously reappeared. Weakness and anemia disappeared and life energy was restored. Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction and diabetes were completely alleviated.

Dr. Budwig then discovered an all natural way for people to replace those essential ingredients their bodies so desperately needed in their daily diet. By simply eating a combination of just two natural and delicious foods not only can cancer be prevented but in case after case it was actually cured. (These two natural foods, organic flax seed oil & cottage cheese) must be eaten together to be effective since one triggers the properties of the other to be released.)

After more than 10 years of solid clinical application, Dr. Budwig's natural formula has proven successful where many orthodox remedies have failed. Dr. Budwig's formula has been used therapeutically in Europe for prevention of: Cancer! Arteriosclerosis, Strokes, Cardiac Infarction, Heartbeat (irregular), Liver (fatty degeneration), Lungs (reduces bronchial spasms), Intestines (regulates activity). Stomach Ulcers (normalizes gastric juices), Prostate (hypertopic), Arthritis (exerts a favorable influence), Eczema (assists all skin diseases), Old age (improves many common afflictions), Brain (strenghthens activity), Immune Deficiency Syndromes (multiple sclerosis, autoimmune illnesses)

Thousands have flocked to hear Dr. Budwig lecture all over Europe. The many people Dr. Budwig's formula has helped testify to the benefits of her remarkable discovery. Following are a few examples: In one of my interviews with Dr. Budwig I was introduced to Siegried Ernst, M.D.. He is a rare and dedicated man who counts among his personal friends the current Pope as well as many other dignitaries.

Testimonials :

Dr. Ernst

Seventeen years ago Dr. Ernst had developed cancer for which he had major surgery requiring removal of his stomach. Two years later he had a recurrence of the cancer and was offered chemotherapy as the only available remedy. There was little hope for survival as virtually all individuals with recurrence of this type of cancer rarely last a year. Dr. Ernst knew that chemotherapy was not only ineffective for his type of cancer but completaly destructive of the quality of life, so he refused. He turned to Dr. Budwig and her formula for help. He religiously followed Dr. Budwig's formula and fifteen years later has not had any recurrence of cancer. As a matter of fact he seemed to me to be in perfect health and is tireless for a man in his late seventies.

Maria W.

Maria W. tells her story in her own words: "I was told by the most expert of doctors that I would have to be operated on to cut out the cancerous tumor that was causing a swelling under my eye. They explained that the size of the tumor was much greater inside and that there was very serious bone involvement. The malignancy was too far advanced to respond to radiation treatment. The doctors planned to remove considerable facial tissue and bone. I was afraid for my life, but being a young woman, couldn't bear the thought of such disfigurement.

When I heard about Dr. Budwig's natural formula, I was skeptical but desperate for help. After four months on this regimen, the swelling under my left eye completely disappeared. The doctors at the University hospital gave me many exhausting tests. One told me, 'If I didn't have your previous x-rays and medical history in front of me, I wouldn't believe that you ever had cancer. There is hardly any indication of a tumor remaining.' I never thought using Dr, Budwig's formula would be so successful. My whole family and I are very grateful."

Sandy A.

An examination of Sandy A. revealed arachnoidal bleeding due to an inoperable brain tumor. The doctors informed Sandy that he was beyond medical help. At his expressed wish, Sandy was discharged from the hospital and sent home to die in peace.

A friend brought Dr. Budwig’s formula to Sandy’s attention. Sandy writes. “Since I went on the Budwig regimen, the paralysis is of my eyes, arms, and legs has receded daily. After only a short period of time, I was able to urinate normally. My health improved so rapidly that I was soon able to return to my work part-time. Shortly after that, I was again examined at the Research Center and my reflexes were completely normal. The Budwig diet saved my life! Ten years later, I was given a thorough examination at the Center as a follow-up. My incredible recovery has been written up In many medical journals and I have become what they call a 'textbook case,' and all because of Dr. Johanna Budwig's simple diet."

Timmy G.

Seven years ago Timmy G. was diagnosed as having Hodgkins disease. The child was operated on and underwent 24 radiation treatments, plus additional experimental therapies that the experts hoped would be of some small help. When Timmy failed to respond favorably to these heroic measures, he was discharged as incurable, and given six months to live and sent home to die. The desperate parents contacted specialists all over the world. A famous newspaper took up Timmy's cause and ran editorials pleading for someone to come forth who could offer hope for the life of a child. All the specialists who replied confirmed the cruel prognosis: There was no hope or help for Timmy.

At this dark hour the miracle the family had prayed for happened! Timmy's mother told her story to the press: "A friend sent me a printed piece about one of Dr. Budwig's speeches. This material gave us hope and I contacted Dr. Budwig. In just five days, (on the Budwig regimen) Timmy's breathing became normal for the first lime In almost two years.

From this day on, Timmy began to feel good again. He went back to school, started swimming and by winter he was doing craft work. Everyone who knows him says how well he looks." At age 18 Timmy is showing great promise in his university work. He knows he owes his life to Dr. Budwig and thanks her daily in his prayers. One of the two foods in on Budwig's formula, cottage cheese, is available in nearly every grocery store in America. The other, pure organic linseed oil, however comes primarily from Europe and can only be found in certain health food stores throughout the United States.

By simply mixing these two delicious foods together and eating them you will be providing yourself and your family with the optimal preventive nutritional protection against cancer and other disease.
