The Budwig Diet, meaning the Budwig Protocol (it is actually not a “diet,” but rather a specific mixture) is necessary for many alternative treatments; from type 2 diabetes to cancer to heart disease to auto-immune diseases, etc.
Its purpose is to energize the cells by restoring the natural electrical balance in the cell. Many human diseases are caused by “sick cells” which have lost their normal electrical balance; generally via a lower ATP energy in the cell’s mitochondria.
One thing to understand, and this is critical, is that the WHOLE purpose of the Budwig Diet is to convert oil-soluble omega-3 fatty acids into water-soluble omega-3 fatty acids.
This is why it is so important to add things to the mixture in the right order. If you mix them in the wrong order you may lose a lot of the opportunity to convert the oil-soluble omega-3s into water soluble-omega-3s.  Since someone may “hit” this article directly from the Internet, here are a few resources on the theory behind the Budwig Diet and the use of the Budwig Diet. 

Here is an article on the Budwig Diet by cancer researcher Mike Vrentas:
Budwig Diet
Here is another article on the Budwig Diet which was written by another Budwig expert:
Healing Cancer Naturally
Here is a DVD which details anentire day on the BudwigProtocol:
Entire Day on the Budwig

The IngredientsHere are the ingredients to make the Budwig Diet and how to mix them together.
Item #1: Refrigerated, Liquid Flaxseed OilThis is generally purchased at a health food store. For people who do not live near a health food store they can order it over the Internet. Even if it takes a few days of travel to arrive at your house, leaving it unrefrigerated for this period should not affect the product. But after it arrives refrigerate it.
The most popular brand is Barlean’s Flax Oil, but there are other brands. The key is that it is liquid and hasfar moreomega 3s than omega 6s. For example, my bottle (Barlean’s) has 6,200 mg of omega 3s to 1,810 mg of omega 6s. The reason for this ratio is that a normal diet will have far more omega 6 than omega 3, thus the supplement must havefar more omega 3 than omega 6.
One main issue is “lignans.” Lignans are particles which contain fiber. Some people claim you should buy non-lignan versions of flax oil and some people suggest you buy high lignan varieties.
The answer really depends on what you are using it for. For example, if you are using it for stomach cancer, and are on the Cellect-Bugwig protocol or Bill Henderson protocol, then you definitely need the “high lignan” version. This is because the stomach needs the fiber.
On the other hand, Mike Vrentas recommends no lignan varieties for other types of cancer patients. However, his reason is that it is hard to tell when the lignan version becomes rancid. This is generally not an issue in high volume health food stores.
What you use is up to you and your research.
MAKE A NOTE TO YOURSELF to shake the flaxseed oil well before putting it in the bowl.
Item #2: Cottage Cheese (U.S. Variety) or YogurtHere are the basic instructions on how to make the Budwig Mixture.
Grind with a small coffee grinder (1) Tblsp of Flax Seed and put in a small bowl. Do not buy pre-ground flax seed as the flax seed goes rancid 15 minutes after grinding. Brown or Golden whole Flaxseed is available and either will work. Grind fresh each time.
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 immersion mixers:
Immersion Mixer Vendor
Mix (4) Tbs of organic 2% low fat Cottage Cheese with (2) Tbs organic cold pressed Flax Seed Oil commonly referred to as (Flax Oil). It is best (not) to use Flavored, Lignum or Highest Lignum Flax Oil. Two good flax oils are Barlean’s or Spectrum’s cold pressed organic flax oil. This can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery or health food store. Never off the shelf. Never capsule or flakes. Watch the expiration date. Blend the flax oil and cottage cheese together with the immersion blender until reaching a creamy quality and the oil has been absorbed. There should be no standing oil. Then add to this mixture if needed, 1-3 Tbs of low fat milk for a creamery mixture and (stir with a spoon) no blender. This mixture should then be poured over the freshly ground flax seed and mixed together by spoon; again no blender. The ratio may be adjusted for smaller or larger proportions. A rule of thumb to keep in mind is one tablespoon of oil to two tablespoons of cottage cheese. The amount of milk can be adjusted as needed for consistency and easier blending. Once the mixture is completed it must be eaten immediately for best results. Make fresh each time. Here’s the link to the (YouTube) page showing how to combine the Flax Oil and Cottage Cheese in a video.

The above mixture can be flavored differently every day by adding nuts, preferably organic such as pecans, almonds or walnuts (not peanuts), banana, organic cocoa, shredded coconut, pineapple (fresh) blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, vanilla 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.
The above protocol should not be consumed with any other supplements, foods or oils at the same time. This should be a stand alone meal.
Dr Budwig pointed out that people who are suffering from Chronic or Terminal disease should work themselves up to consuming 4-8 Tblsp 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 may take 3-6 months. Many other health issues can be much faster in responding.
Item #3: CinnamonEach brand of cinnamon has an oil content. For diabetic patients it is critical to go to a health food store and buy the highest percentage of oil as possible. Cinnamon mimics insulin, thus by adding cinnamon you may need less insulin immediately. See the article on how to cure type 2 diabetes for more information because other things also mimic insulin:
Diabetes Type II article
For everyone else, the main purpose of the cinnamon is to kill the taste of the flaxseed oil and cod liver oil, so the oil content is not that important.
Item #4: Mandarin Oranges or Some Other FruitThe sole purpose of this item is for taste, thus add whatever fruits you wish.
Final Important CommentsYou must consume the Budwig mixture within 20 minutes of making it. Do NOT make more than you need and do not refrigerate the leftovers!!!
Also, don’t forget to put the cottage cheese into the bowl first, then the flaxseed oil. THEN mix the two togetherbeforeputting anything else in the bowl.
See the individual treatment articles for more information on how to use the Budwig Diet for that particular health condition.

Radical Remission is a wonderful book that talks about 9 elements that radical remission cancer survivors have used to heal their bodies.  Not one thing alone works but using several elements together can help the body to heal from illness and disease.  As a cancer coach, nutritionist, & Time Line therapist, hypnotherapist, I teach clients to combine these very same elements together to effect change.  

The number one thing that patients do is to radically change their diet!  Increasing vegetables, organic fruit, whole grains, eating whole foods, juicing, and eliminating dairy, wheat, gluten, meat, sugar, and processed foods. Giving the body the nutrients it needs to fight disease and increase the immune system and natural killer cells.  

Taking control of your own health and the ideal that in order for healing to occur, you must be willing to make changes even if those changes are time consuming and emotionally difficult.  Instead of relying in quick fix pills, you may need to make serious changes in your life in order to regain your health.  You may need to leave your stressful job or marriage in order to heal, whatever it is, evaluate, reflect and listen to your inner voice to do what is right for you.

Following your intuition.  The body knows what it needs to heal and it can often let you know why you got sick in the first place.  This belief goes against western medicine, which usually removes patients from the  planning process while the doctors determine a course of treatment after diagnosis.  IF the mind is allowed to quiet down, it will know what it needs to do in order to be well again.  Cancer is only a messenger that says something has gone wrong or out of alignment.  Find out what that something is, that root cause and correct it to heal the body.

Using Herbs and Supplements:  The difference between chemo and vitamins is that chemo kills cancer cells & the immune system while most supplements are designed to  strengthen the immune system so that it can remove cancer cells.  These 2 treatment styles stem from 2 different belief systems.  Vitamins and Herbs alone  will not do the trick however, combining them with all the other elements to heal the body may mean the difference between life and death just as diet alone may not work either.  

Releasing suppressed emotions- suppressed emotions are any emotions you are hanging onto from your past that are negative, positive, conscious or unconscious.  We hold onto negative one's such as anger, fear, sadness, and hurt.  Suppressed emotions may be conscious or unconscious, meaning you may not be able to remember them fully.  It could be from traumatic memories or events in the past, accidents, abuse are often blocked from one's conscious memory.  You can release these negative emotions easily with Time Line Therapy, hypnotherapy and using other healing modalities such as Reiki, yoga and meditation.

Increase positive emotions:  Happiness is a habit and a state that you can access at any time.  We all have happy memories that we can access and we an do it daily to make it a habit.  For cancer survivors that were interviewed, they had to force themselves to think of past happy events and memories in the beginning or they chose to watch funny shows and movies to increase their happiness.  They discovered that by doing this daily, it became a habit and the feeling of happiness came quickly the more they practiced it.  

Embrace social support:  We are social creatures by nature and humans need each other to survive.  Researchers have discovered that loved one's help our bodies in a sophisticated way.  When we are surrounded by them, even our pets the feeling of being loved releases a flood of hormones into the bloodstream which makes us feel better emotionally but also strengthens our immune system significantly.  

Deepening your spiritual connection:  Having a connection to a deeper or higher energy which some people call God and others call it the soul or energy or chi.  One may pray to find this connection others may have a deep yoga practice or meditation practice that they follow.  Whatever it is for you, is right for you, practice is daily, connect to your inner spirit and faith.

Having strong reasons for living:  Survivors that were interviewed said that they wanted to live and for many reasons.  Having confidence to your core that you want to keep living, to get excited about life was a recurring factor for cancer patients of radical remissions.  It is a recurring fact in this book that the mind leads the body, not the other way around.  Its a proven fact that when you have strong enough thought or emotion, powerful hormones and released instantly into the bloodstream and have either beneficial or detrimental effect on your immune system depending on the nature of your thoughts and emotions.

While each chapter in the book contains healing stories, its important to remember that it is never just one factor that helped people get well but a multitude of factors.  Empowerment is the key, cancer is a devastating disease and people often feel powerless since it can sneak up without any warming.  Finding your power will require some effort on your part, you can do it.  

Radical Remission, surviving cancer against all ods written by kelly A. Turner, Ph.D  You can find her book here: 
http://www.amazon.ca/Radical-Remission-Surviving-Cancer-Against/dp/0062268759/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1443444560&sr=1-1&keywords=radical+remission

While doing some research, I've come across several cancer patient stories who have healed their cancers through the Budwig Protocol.  There are several healing modalities that one can try along with mainstream cancer treatments (surgery, chemo & radiation).


One woman has eaten this mixture of organic cottage cheese and flax oil mixture every morning for the past four years along with a raw cancer fighting diet.  In our Cancer Coaching Training, we review many alternative protocols such as the Gerson Therapy which has been incredibly successful at treating and curing many with cancer.  In the Gerson therapy, patients consume 13 fresh vegetables juices (1 per hour) daily along with several coffee enemas to detoxify the body.  

For the Budwig Protocol, Dr. Budwig herself states the importance in her book, Flax Oil As a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer and Other Diseases, that one who engages her protocol must continue on it for 5 years, or otherwise increase the likelihood of their cancer returning, perhaps with a vengeance. You are in it for the long haul and must become comfortable with Budwig preparation.  We need to remember that the cancer-fighting science behind the protocol is to transport oxygen IN to the cancer cells to destroy them (cancer survives off glucose and HATES an oxygenated environment.) 

In the 1950’s seven-time Nobel Prize nominee and biochemist, Dr. Johanna Budwig developed her “Oil-Protein” Diet to combat cancer. In following the work of Dr. Otto Warburg (himself a Nobel Prize winner) she studied how cancer cells are anaerobic- this means they cannot live in an oxygen rich environment. Instead, they rely on GLUCOSE (sugar) to survive (this is the reason that people with cancer should avoid sugar as much as possible !  

Dr. Budwig discovered the reason why our healthy cells become anaerobic in the first place.  According to her,  in order for our bodies’ cells to process oxygen as fuel, they need certain enzymes to be present in the fat content of the foods we eat.  However, because so much of the Standard American Diet (SAD diet) consists of chemically-treated, processed, sugar-laden, denatured foods, the necessary enzymes our bodies require for cellular respiration have been destroyed and in some cases even replaced by manufactured fats (i.e. trans fats).  Over time, this sets up a whole host of problems from heart disease, to skin and lung problems, brain and liver problems, diabetes and immune deficiency syndromes, to cancer and more.  In order to remain HEALTHY, our cells NEED to be able to process oxygen, and the Budwig diet provides this.

Dr. Budwig discovered that when she combined sulfur-rich proteins like cottage cheese with highly unsaturated fatty acids (rich in omega-3’s) like those found in flaxseed oil, the unsaturated fatty acids bonded molecularly with the sulphuric proteins. This bond made the flaxseed oil water-soluble, enabling it to be absorbed instantly and effortlessly through the cellular membrane.  In turn, the instant flood of vital nutrients and essential enzymes to the cells acted as a spark that re-ignited their ability to burn oxygen, thus restoring ALL cells to a healthy aerobic state – INCLUDING cancer cells!  Dr. Budwig discovered that this simple mixture, in effect, allowed cancer cells to ‘breathe’ again, returning them to their healthy, normal state, and thereby ridding the body of cancer!

Recipe Chocolate Pudding “CCFO”(Cottage Cheese, Flax Seed Oil)
2/3 cup organic 1%, 1.5% or 2% cottage cheese (Nancy’s brand is the best. After posting the above picture, I learned Whole Foods brand contains carrageenan which is not helpful for anyone fighting cancer.)

6 Tbsp organic flaxseed oil 
10 drops of Stevita Chocolate Flavored Stevia

Directions: Mix cottage cheese and flaxseed oil using an immersion blender first. Make sure to scoop all of the cottage cheese mixture out of the blender head. Once mixture is completely combined (you shouldn't see any trace of standing oil,) add 10 drops of chocolate flavored Stevie and ENJOY. 

If chocolate isn't your thing, Many others add the plain mixture to smoothies or add berries and nuts. One woman even says that she makes the CCFO mixture and adds salsa and loves it.  Get creative and remember that the Budwig mixture can be eaten as a cancer PREVENTATIVE food also!
