Budwig Flaxseed Diet For Cancer
Budwig Flaxseed Diet as an Alternative Cancer Treatment
Among the diseases that have threatened the human race for a long time is cancer. History knows that very many people have lost their lives to this disease and this has caused anxiety in many people. News that you have been diagnosed with cancer in itself is a shocker, cancer is synonymous to death especially to those people who have lost their loved ones because of this disease. Over the past years cancer treatment had been that of pain and agony. The disease in itself is synonymous to pain plus the treatment that were used in a bid to help the patients ended up adding them more pain if at least it did not kill them at all. Do you know what they say? If chemotherapy fails to kill the cancer cells then it may kill you! That is rather harsh but it is the truth. In the past years the most known cancer treatments were chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. Cancer treatment through surgery has the same risk as any other medical surgery. It involved removing the tumor cells. On the other hand chemotherapy and radiation therapy are methods that aims at killing the cancer cells therefore reducing their spread or better yet killing them outright. These two methods of treatment also kills the healthy cells and so the patient faces lots of risk in that he may also die from the side effects of the treatment.
Because of the pain that cancer patients go through during cancer treatment like chemotherapy, medical researchers, nutritionists among other concerned bodies have been developing various ways of killing the cancerous cells without affecting the healthy body cells. Several alternative approaches to cancer treatment have been developed and some are still developed as doctors are involved endless research on better treatment of the disease. One of the alternatives that have been used in cancer treatment is the Budwig Flaxseed Diet.
Budwig Flaxseed Diet
This diet that was the first to use flaxseed oil in cancer treatment was proposed by Johanna Budwig, Ph.D who was a German biochemist and expert in fats and oils in 1951. This diet also involves the use of cottage cheese which together is used with flaxseed oils along with other dietary restrictions such as no animal fats, no salad oils of any kind, no meats, no butter or margarine and no sugar and is promoted as both a cancer cure and prevention alternative. Dr. Budwig came up with this diet after she realized that the blood of those seriously ill cancer patients had deficiency in both lipoproteins and phospholipids which are very crucial types of fats. The absence of these types of fats in the body enabled the cancer cells to grow and metastasize.
In one her reports it is stated that she examined samples of blood from the cancer patients and realized that the blood samples had deficiency of fats and not hemoglobin that would transport oxygen to the whole body. The report states that she saw a greenish-yellow that she opined that caused weakness and anemia in cancer. The report goes to state that she realized that when the patients were given a blenderized flaxseed oil and cottage mixture the greenish-yellow substance disappeared with the malignant tumors.
Dr. Budwig claims that cancer is a problem especially because the western diets are devoid in linol-acids. She says that the absence of linol- acids is responsible for the production of oxydase which encourages the growth of cancer cells and causes other chronic diseases.
The cancer curing and prevention ability of the Budwig flaxseed diet has been supported by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP who is an Oncologist and former cardiologist. He supported this diet after carrying a careful detailed reexamination of the diet in 1990. In Dr. Roehm’s own words he says “this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world”.
Dr. Roehm praises for the Budwig flaxseed diet didn’t end there here is another opinion he had on the diet “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)
According to those who support this diet, when patients eat mix of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil it helps to resolve stagnated healthy cell growth and cause tumors to dissolve. This is possible since the flaxseed oil has unsaturated fats that are rich in electrons while the cottage cheese is rich in sulfur proteins which helps infighting malignancies. Needless to mention when these are mixed they react chemically making the oils soluble in water and this helps in making the cell membranes permeable hence producing a healing effect.
Though the American cancer society is silent on the Budwig diet, they agree that flaxseed inhibits growth and spread of cancer. They further agree that when flaxseed supplements are used with diets that are low in fats it can help in curing men with early stage prostate cancer.
