The Budwig Diet for Cancer

The Budwig Diet is the brainchild of Dr. Johanna Budwig. Dr. Budwig, a German biochemist and a leading expert in the field of natural foods such as those containing fats and oils designed this diet and presented it to the world back in 1951. Dr. Budwig felt that this diet was not only an excellent preventative of cancer but was also an actual cure for cancer.

Doctor claimed that her scientific studies showed that the blood of people who were afflicted with cancer were significantly low in substances which are known as phosphatides and lipoproteins. She further claimed that her studies showed that the blood of people who were not afflicted with cancer were appreciatively higher in these substances.

It was Dr. Budwig's contention that if the phosphatides and lipoprotein levels in the blood of the people with cancer were raised the cancer would disappear.

Since the products which would supply these substances are not actual medicines but are rather found naturally in cottage cheese and organic flax seed oil, Dr. Budwig was able to recommend a combination of these food substances to her patients who were suffering from cancer. Dr. Budwig also made it clear that both of these food substances needed to be taken, not just one or the other in order for this diet to be effective.

Both Doctor and her medical colleagues who have worked with her on studying the effectiveness of this diet, feel that after years of careful study, it has been shown that a significant number of people who were not helped by the traditional cancer treatments were not only helped but in many cases were completely cured of any kind of cancer.

This opinion is further backed up by people who had cancer and after going on Dr. Budwig's diet claim that they have now found themselves to be one hundred percent cancer free. Many of these claims are further backed up by medical professionals who had earlier been treating these people for cancer.

Is Dr. Budwig's diet a miracle preventative and a miracle cure? Would these people who claim to have been cured by it have gone into some sort of a recession and become cancer free without it? I don't know. I can only say that there does seem to be some sort of a correlation between the diet and the disappearance of the cancer. A cure and a preventative? We can but hope.
