The Budwig Cancer Curing Diet:
My healing mornings start with this item, after my research into the work of Johanna Budwig. Then I go on my morning walk. In my research into nutrition for health the subject of fatty acids and their incredible importance is everywhere in the literature- health magazines, the internet, etc. This page updated |

Dr. Budwig discovered that the combination of freshly ground flax seeds mixed with cottage cheese or yogurt (for a sulphurized protein), and eaten immediately is a powerful boost toward perfect health. Her book and several other articles present much evidence for her cures. Follow up reading is important to understand the details of this regime. Here you can see that I'm using fresh organic blueberries for antioxidant flavoring! |

It is now my favorite recipe to mix less yogurt and more cottage cheese, include organic blueberries, fish oil and pour in the freshly ground flax seeds, mix and eat.
It is the perfect healing meal! Bon appetite! Additional reading material can be found in the links above and in the paragraphs below. Research into fats and oils is of paramount importance regarding health and disease and the American diet.

Whey Protein, is a 100% natural protein concentrate of Whey and is specially ultrafiltered under low temperature to be low in fat, lactose and carbohydrates. Whey Protein, is a rich source of glutamine-rich biologically active proteins. Fifty-one percent of the proteins found in Whey are from BLG (Beta-Lactoglobulin), 20% of Whey is ALB (Alpha-Lactalbumin), 10% Immunoglobulin, 10% Albumin, and 7% minor fractions (Beta-Microglobulin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, lactolin and relaxin). Albumin is of particular interest to researchers because of its elevated concentrations of glutamylcysteine, a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione. ~~~~~~~~

Author “Cure Your Cancer” e-book This newletter is posted on his website: Newsletter #26 CURE YOUR CANCER July 16, 2002 ************************************************ Flaxseed & Cottage Cheese - The Budwig Diet ************************************************ This time, for the first time since November, 2000, when I first began publishing this newsletter, I am going to devote the entire newsletter to one topic. Obviously, the reason I am doing this is to get your attention. I feel that this topic is absolutely vital to all cancer patients and those of us who want to prevent cancer and maintain our good health. I hope you agree. In my research, I have run across Dr. Johanna Budwig’s name several times. I always glossed over it when I heard her “formula” -- a little flaxseed oil mixed with cottage cheese. Bad decision!!? Thanks to one of you, my faithful readers, I was introduced to the FlaxseedOil2 chat group. More about them in a minute. Here is a quote which I hope will rivet your attention on this topic. Dr. Dan C. Roehm, M.D., FACP, an oncologist and former cardiologist wrote an article in 1990 in the “Townsend Letter For Doctors.” He said: “This diet is far and away the most succesful anti-cancer diet in the world. 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). I only wish that all my patients had a PhD in Biochemistry and Quantum Physics to enable them to see how with such consumate 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. 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, (i.e. 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 (radiation) 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) forgive the miscreants who have kept this simple information from reaching you so long.” [signed] Dan C. Roehm, M.D. FACP Did you see that Dr. Roehm is an oncologist and cardiologist. His views are based on his own observations of patients in his practice. Also note that Dr. Budwig’s 90% figure does not include chemotherapy recipients! Don’t lower your odds by taking chemotherapy. Here’s another quote from a noted doctor: Have I abandoned my position that there is no single cure for all cancers? No. However, would I sit up and take notice of this particular treatment if I were you? Darnn right! I hope you trust me enough by now to know that I would not emphasize anything to this extent unless I was thoroughly convinced that you should try it. My wife and I are eating it every day. WHAT IS IT? It’s so simple that it seems ridiculous. After 30 years of research, Dr. Budwig came up with cottage cheese and flaxseed oil as an effective preventative AND CURE for cancer and many other ailments. Flaxseed oil/cottage cheese, or FO/CC as it is referred to on the chat group, is very simple to prepare. You simply mix one cup of organic cottage cheese (no preservatives), low fat, with 2-5 tablespoons of flaxseed oil (freshly ground flaxseeds are better!). Both ingredients are readily available at any health food store. My wife and I use yogurt (live cultures, not the kind in the supermarket) in place of the cottage cheese. This is a suitable substitution, according to Dr. Budwig. It mixes much easier and we like the taste better. She says that using yogurt, you should triple the amount. In other words, about 3/4 cup yogurt to every tablespoon of flaxseed oil. We add a package of Stevia as a sweetener and some almonds. Dr. Budwig says you can use a blender (pouring the FO/CC in AFTER it is well blended by hand) and then add any fresh fruits you like for flavor -- bananas, strawberries, red raspberries (remember ellagic acid?) -- and even nuts, but not peanuts. The theory behind this odd combination? Dr. Budwig says the absence of linoleic 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 use of oxygen in the body (one of the best ways to “erase” cancer cells) can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which are present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, chives, onions and garlic, and ESPECIALLY COTTAGE CHEESE. The flaxseed oil and the cottage cheese (or yogurt) must be blended and eaten together to be effective. They are synergistic. In other words, one triggers the healthful properties of the other. It is important to keep the oil in the refrigerator in the dark bottle it comes in. Light and heat quickly make it rancid. It will keep for four months in the refrigerator but only three weeks at room temperature. A word to the wise: Do not buy it if it has been stored on a shelf at the store at room temperature. So, you just eat the FO/CC mixture and wash it down with a Whataburger, french fries and a chocolate shake...NOT! As you might expect, the FO/CC is part of a lifestyle change which emphasizes food that is not processed and contains no “hydrogenated” anything. In addition, absolutely forbidden are: Sugar Dr. Budwig’s formula includes a complete diet plan, including a flax oil “spread,” which can be used with fruits, vegetables, potatoes or grains such as rice, buckwheat or millet. It can also be added to sweet sauces and soups. There is also a flax oil “mayo” which can be used for salads or healthy sandwiches. |

In a book called “Oxygen Therapies” published in 1991, Ed McCabe offers this point of view on 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 intothe 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 a decisive role in respiratory enzymes, which are the basis of cell oxidation... Don’t eat anything hydrogenated (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.” Dr. David Williams, my favorite health guru, has recently added four essential fatty acids (EFAs) to his Daily Advantage formula (see pages 29 and 30 in my book). An article in his newsletter urges us to drastically increase our intake of Omega-3 fatty acids, the exact formula of flaxseed oil. Here’s a quote from a “promo” I received recently on it: “In case you haven’t heard the great news, Dr. Williams just added a powerful, new Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) complex to Daily Advantage. These EFAs, particularly the omega-3s, are critical for you cardiovascular system, cholesterol, blood pressure, brain function, immune system, joints, and just about every other system in your body.” Don’t concern yourself with the difference between Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids. Just realize that Omega-3’s should be about four to one to Omega-6’s in your diet for your body to work properly. The ratio of our “normal” diet today is just the opposite...lots of Omega-6’s and not nearly enough Omega-3’s. Dr. Budwig’s work has confirmed that this imbalance, caused by the “hydrogenated” fat in processed food, is the cause of most infirmities we suffer from. Several studies have shown that our typical Omega-3 level in our bodies is 80% below normal. The flaxseed oil, when mixed with cottage cheese or yogurt, restores that balance...period. Being skeptical of any new idea which makes bold claims is healthy. When you have cancer, it is essential. I was quite skeptical of this treatment at first. I joined the chat group and pawed my way through the 20-25 e-mails a day. You may, of course, do the same, if you are so inclined. All you have to do is send a blank e-mail to: FlaxseedOil2-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Maybe I can save you a lot of trouble. After reading the messages of this group for the last three weeks, I have become thoroughly convinced that they are onto something significant for ALL cancer patients. First, almost all of the participants are recovering from cancer and other diseases (strokes, diabetes, etc.) Second, all of them, without exception, are thoroughly convinced that their recovery is the result of the Dr. Budwig protocol. The founder of the chat group, Clifford Beckwith, was cured of Stage IV prostate cancer in the early 90’s by Dr. Budwig’s protocol. He has been a missionary for this treatment ever since. Here are a few words from the transcript of an audio tape made by Cliff Beckwith in July, 2001: “Shortly after I found out I had trouble, we learned that a friend of ours had been having trouble since 1987. He’d been to the doctors; they had done various operations and tried different treatments but he didn’t seem to be getting any better. One day my wife and I visited him and talked about the oil. He decided to use it and began taking 2 tbsps a day [Now we know that probably was not quite enough]. The doctor said his bladder had crystallized and lost its elasticity. He couldn’t stay out of the bathroom for 15 minutes. He couldn’t go to church or carry on other normal activities. The doctor said it was a condition he’d just have to live with. One day he went to the doctors for a physical and he told his wife that if he didn’t get a good report he was going to quit using the oil. The doctor examined him and said, ‘Mr. C, you’ve had cancer in your bladder but it’s gone. The bladder is elastic again and ever thing is back to normal.’ In December, 1993 we were having a tree cut and the contractor and I were discussing the oil. His assistant said, ‘I’ve heard of that. I knew a man out west who found out he had colon cancer. He didn’t let the oncologist do anything. He just used Flax oil and cottage cheese and the tumors disappeared.’ I have a cousin in California who lost his wife to cancer a number of years ago. He is militantly trying to get American doctors to look at this approach. He’s talked to a group in Spain using an Omega-3 approach that is getting a 95% cure rate. Nothing in American medicine approaches that degree of success. In 1994, I talked to Dr. Budwig. She said ‘I have the answer to cancer, but American doctors won’t listen. They come here and observe my methods and are impressed. Then they want to make a special deal so they can take it home and make a lot of money. I won’t do it, so I’m blackballed in every country.’ Dr. Budwig has been nominated for a Nobel prize 7 times, but her methods have incurred the wrath of the establishment and she is passed over. Especially upsetting to the conventional cancer establishment is her refusal to use radiation or chemotherapy. In the vast majority of the cases we have known about, there has been apparent recovery. Where it has not been successful, those with cancer have not used enough in the first place, or switched to Flax flakes or capsules. Capsules scare me. In the first place, it takes a number of capsules to make a Tbsp. and the sulphur-based proteins are still needed. Also, bottles of capsules are likely to sit around on shelves at room temperature. I know of one man who was quite badly off and began using the liquid oil and began making dramatic improvement. About a year later, I learned that he had died. I later learned that he had switched to capsules. In a Christmas letter in December, 1993, we heard that a friend of ours in Wooster, Ohio, was having a bout with ovarian cancer. The blood test for that condition is CA 125 and the normal is 35 or below. Her count was 75. Later I learned she’d visited my sister in September and was very apprehensive. She’d had about four rounds of chemo and couldn’t take that. We sent information about Flaxseed oil in our Christmas letter. Joanie is an RN and she and her husband had been missionaries in Sri Lanka. They bought the books and started using Flax oil. In February she was feeling fine. On May 12, 1994, she had a checkup and the count was 2 and she was praising the Lord. In October, 1994, she had another physical and now the count was 1. Since then there’s been no further indication of cancer.” If you would like to read more of Cliff Beckwith’s account, including dozens of other examples of proper and improper use of this treatment, just go to: http://www.beckwithfamily.com/Flax1.html If you want a free copy of the audio tape, send Cliff an e-mail. His e-mail address: spinner@usit.net WHAT DOES IT TREAT? Dr. Budwig’s formula has been used therapeutically in Europe for prevention and treatment of: Cancer; Arteriosclerosis; Strokes; Cardiac Infarction; Irregular Heartbeat; Liver (fatty degeneration); Lungs (reduces bronchial spasms); Intestines (regulates activity); Stomach Ulcers (normalizes gastric juices); Prostate (hypertropic); Arthritis (exerts a favorable influence); Eczema (assists all skin diseases); Old Age (improves many common afflictions); Brain (strengthens activity); Immune Deficiency Syndromes (multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases such as lupus). Here are a few more convincing testimonials: Siegfried Ernst, M.D. Maria W. Sandy A. “Since I went on the Budwig regimen, the paralysis 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. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO DR. BUDWIG? Well into her 90’s at this writing, Dr. Budwig is still active. She lectures on this subject all over Europe. IN SUMMARY Don’t quibble. Don’t put this off. Don’t “wait to tell your doctor.” In short, just do it!! It’s food. It’s fairly inexpensive. It can’t hurt you, unless the oil is rancid, which is pretty obvious. It’ll smell. If it smells or tastes awful, don’t use it. Take it back and get some fresh oil. Lots of trivia on the chat board...high lignan oil vs. plain oil; ground flax seeds in addition to the oil or not; mix it by hand or in blender; flavor it with.....well, you get the idea. None of the people above worried about this stuff. They just ate the mixture and got well. It’s simple: Just buy 1% organic cottage cheese or “plain” yogurt (with live cultures). Both should be without preservatives of any kind, so we’re talking health food store, not supermarket. Buy the flaxseed oil (it’s also called “linseed oil”), high lignan or not. Be sure the oil is fresh and cold, says “cold pressed” and is in a dark bottle. Mix 5 or 6 tablespoons of the oil (shake it first if it is “high lignan”) with 1 1/2 cups of the cottage cheese or 4 1/2 cups of the yogurt. Once it is thoroughly mixed by hand (or with an electric beater - not in blender), add whatever fruit or nuts (no peanuts) you like for flavor and put the whole thing in the blender to make a smoothie. Refrigerate it and eat it throughout the day. This is a one day dose for a cancer patient (any stage, any type of cancer). Next, take a look at Dr. Budwig’s diet. See Chris Turner’s article “Budwig Flax Oil Diet” (link above). Don’t continue on your “normal” diet and expect to get well. This is a lifetime commitment. If you drop it after the 3-12 weeks it takes to cure you, you will be very sorry. Don’t do that!

Budwig Flax Oil Diet by Chris Turner Science has proven that fats play an important role in the functioning of the entire body. To function efficiently, cells require true polyunsaturated, live electron-rich lipids, present in abundance in raw flaxseed oil. About the Author Dr Johanna Budwig is one of Germany’s premier biochemists and an expert on fats and oils. She holds a PhD in natural science, has undergone medical training, and was schooled in pharmaceutical science, physics, botany and biology. 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 Tumour, and True Health Against Arteriosclerosis, Heart Infarction and Cancer. In the mid-1950s, 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. 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 the circulation, damaging heart action, inhibiting cell renewal and impeding the free flow of blood and lymph fluids. The bioelectrical action in these areas slows down and may become completely paralysed. 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. 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-tumour 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 and with low-fat cottage cheese. Dr Budwig’s research was based on using the ratio of two 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. After 30 years of research, Dr Budwig, six times nominee for the Nobel award, found that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients was 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 haemoglobin that belongs there. This explained why cancer patients weaken and become anaemic. This startling discovery led Dr Budwig to test her theory. She found that when these natural ingredients were replaced over approximately a three-month period, tumours 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 anaemia 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. (These two natural foods, organic flaxseed oil and cottage cheese, must be eaten together to be effective since one triggers the properties of the other to be released.) After more than ten 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 the prevention/treatment of: cancer, arteriosclerosis, strokes, cardiac infarction, irregular heartbeat, fatty degeneration of the liver, bronchial spasms, irregular intestinal activity, stomach ulcers (normalizes gastric juices), hypertrophic prostate, arthritis (exerts a favourable influence), eczema (assists all skin diseases), common afflictions of old age, poor brain activity, immune deficiency syndromes (multiple sclerosis, autoimmune illnesses). The Budwig Flax Oil Diet The flaxseed (linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr Johanna Budwig in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr Dan C Roehm MD 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 preventative and curative. She says the absence of linoleic acids (in the average Western diet) is responsible for the production of oxidase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders. The beneficial oxidase 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 linoleic acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, soya, poppy seed, walnut and corn oils. Such oils 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. Some synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotene 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 1oz of milk. A blender or eggbeater works fine. The mixture can be sweetened with honey or otherwise flavoured naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning two spoonfuls of freshly ground flaxseed oil should be taken in luke-warm buttermilk or yoghurt. The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart ailments (coronary 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. General Rules The patient has no nourishment on day one other than 250ml (8.5oz) 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: 3.Freshly squeezed vegetable juices are fine – carrot, celery, apple and red beet. Daily Plan 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: Ed McCabe 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…” “Don’t eat anything hydrogenated (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.” How to Prepare ‘the Spread’ Place 250ml (8.5oz) flax oil into a mixer bowl, and add one pound (450g) of 1%-fat cottage cheese and 4 tablespoons (60ml) 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 1oz (30g) of yoghurt to 1 tablespoon (15ml) each of flax oil and of honey and blend as above. Note: When flax oil is blended like this, it does not cause diarrhoea even when given in large amounts. It reacts chemically with the (sulphur) proteins of the cottage cheese, yoghurt, etc. (I have information that indicates that freshly ground flax seeds are better, they increase the power of this procedure considerably. It depends of course on grinding, mixing and eating the recipe within ten minutes of preparation. The immediate release of the flax seed properties are the basis of this. --- Jim Thomas, reporter) How to Prepare ‘the Mayo’ (Mayonnaise) Bibliography |

Johanna Budwig Revisited or How To Heal Cancer Copyright © 2001 Wellness Directory of Minnesota This is probably the most important article on cancer you will ever read. Just recently I sat and interviewed a genius who has continued and expanded on Johanna Budwig’s work. I returned to my office to do some homework (research, reading, etc.) and finally, I fully understand what’s going on, and I’m passing it on to you. First there was Otto Warburg who was awarded the 1931 Nobel Prize for medicine for his describing the metabolism of a cancer cell. He stated that the cell suddenly became anaerobic (without oxygen) and required massive amounts of glucose (sugar) to metabolize in a form that could only be described as fermentation: “The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic cell respiration.” -- Otto Warburg That is only the beginning. The cell takes in glucose (sugar; cancer loves sugar) and gives off lactic acid which creates an acidic environment. Again, this is something that has been known for years. Cancer needs an acidic environment to flourish, and conversely, cannot survive in a balanced alkaline environment. But again, this is still only the beginning. As Dr Garnett discovered in his research for Poly-MVA, there is an electrical connection to cancer too. Chinese medicine for centuries (some 4 to 6 thousand years ago) has described the life force as energy. They mapped the meridian system that was re-mapped in 1994 by conventional medicine (using high-tech instruments that measured the tiniest amount of electricity). Along these meridians travels our life force: Chi (Qi) according to the Chinese, though we can call it energy. As an aside, in 1968 it was discovered that living cells produce light. The amount of light determines the health of the cell. The brighter the light, the healthier the cell. Interesting stuff, eh? In the fifties, Johanna Budwig added her two cents to the cancer equation. She said that in normal, healthy cells “we find a dipolarity between the electrically positive nucleus and the electrically negative cell membrane with its highly unsaturated fatty acid.” She goes on to state that, “Electrons have a great affinity for oxygen—they love it. They attract oxygen and stimulate our breathing….” By “breathing” she’s referring to the breath of life in each living cell. Now we have the picture of the healthy cell, a cell that will grow, thrive, and replicate in a normal manner. Budwig then goes on to describe the formation of cancer by first describing the changes to the cell membrane. The cell membrane consists of lipids, or fats. The highly unsaturated fatty acid she refers to are called omega-3 fatty acids. These are related to the “fish oils” that even conventional medicine has picked up on. You won’t find a drug store in America that doesn’t have a row of fish oils on sale. These oils are also found in other foods (as we will show you below), but mostly in flax. Another lipid in a cell wall is cholesterol. And you thought it was a terrible thing. The cholesterol in each one of your cells forms a “hydrophobic” bond within the cell wall. Hydrophobic means “fear of water.” It’s a cute way to describe this function of our cells, but in our lives it simply describes the reason we don’t melt in a rainstorm or fall apart when we take a shower or bath. Our cells resist water. Without this resistance, we would be water-soluble and we’d all dissolve in a rainstorm. Our diets in this country (and in Budwig’s country at the time) lack these highly unsaturated fatty acids and contain an excess of man made oils known as trans fats (or partially hydrogenated oils). These oils are very much like cholesterol and our bodies cannot tell the difference. These oils get into our cell walls and destroy the electrical charge. Without the charge, our cells start to suffocate. Without the oxygen, the only way the cell can replicate is anaerobically. (They also are very tough oils and have a 20-year shelf life. They impede the process of cellular exchange, or letting nutrition in and letting wastes out. Trans fats are also responsible for Type II diabetes, since insulin is a very large molecule it has a difficult time passing through a cell wall created with man made fats and not cholesterol.) Do you see what’s happening? Let’s take a minute to look at our diets. I once went to the store with a naturopath who took along an instrument that measured very small amounts of electricity. It was so sensitive that before we went he measured the charges along my meridians and acupuncture points. In the store, he measured the energy inside various foods. Yes, everything has energy and the better the food, the more the energy. He showed me that organic vegetables contained more energy than conventionally grown foods. When we got outside, he opened a few cans of vegetables we’d picked up. The beans and tomatoes (both canned) had more energy than the asparagus and canned fruits (which were nearly dead). He said that tomatoes and beans are the only vegetables to buy canned. Life is electrical. To the Oriental physician, disease begins with a blockage or disruption in energy flow. In this country, disease begins with symptoms. The blockage or disruption in energy flow is about 7 or 8 steps before symptoms. So, as you can guess, preventative medicine is practiced in the Orient, and not here in our western, conventional medicine. Back to our little cancer cell and Dr Budwig: she states there are many reasons for a cell to lose its charge, but peanut butter is a very common one. Can you believe it? Something as simple as peanut butter causing your cancer? Most peanut butters are hydrogenated. Why? To keep from separating. Go look at your natural peanut butters. Many are kept in the refrigerator section because that is how they keep them from separating. By the way, she also went on to describe some of the collateral damage from chemotherapy: she said that chemotherapy causes this loss of energy in healthy cells too; that chemotherapy and radiation destroyed the normal energy flow in healthy cells making them ripe for cancer. She attacked the cancer industry for killing the cancer when they should focus on healing the healthier cells so they could over grow the cancer cells. In other words, take care of the healthy cells and the cancer will take care of itself. A little aside here: as a writer, I must be responsible for all I write. If I make a claim that the National Cancer Institute buried hydrazine sulfate by killing off the cancer patients in a study, then I’d better be able to back this up. We have laws in this country. We are not free to lie about a business and in doing so cause them monetary damage. If you pass on a chain letter that libels a specific company, you are guilty of libel and can be prosecuted (there’s a case already on record). So, anything I say at my web site or here in these newsletters had better be backed up with facts or I can be sued. This is what happened to Dr Budwig when she attacked the cancer industry. She attacked them thusly: “It is not correct to regard the problem of tumors simply as a problem of too much growth and thereby to instigate all manners and means of growth inhibiting treatments….” The Central Committee for Cancer Research that was studying and creating these chemotoxic drugs didn’t like this woman running around making these statements that surely injured their industry and so they sued her in court for libel: for telling lies and hurting the wonderful people making these wonderful drugs. In court, the judge, after having reviewed the evidence from both sides, pulled the cancer research people aside and told them not to take on this woman. The court records quote the presiding judge: “Doctor Budwig’s documents and papers are conclusive. There would be a scandal in the scientific worlds, because the public would certainly support Doctor Budwig.” Do you understand the import of this? This woman had a documented method for healing cancer and the medical community did not. They could kill cancer cells, but they couldn’t cure it. Budwig could help heal cancer by diet alone. Now the real sad part is, science has known the cancer/fat connection for years. Years prior to Budwig’s research they knew there was something in the fat. Years after her initial work we know that a high fat diet can lead to cancer. We also know that the Mediterranean diet is 60% fat, but they have a very low incidence of cancer. So we know that not all fats are the same. TheMediterranean diet is high in olive oil. And now, you know about highly unsaturated fatty acids, commonly referred to as omega-3 fatty acids. They are also called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). They are called essential not because they are optional. They are not optional. They are essential to health because the body cannot make them itself. And though they have been essential to health since the beginning of time, it is only recently that a group of international experts gathered at The National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C. to discuss the importance of Omega 3 fatty acids to human health. They came up with a recommendation for AI (Adequate Intake) of 2.2 grams of LNA (Alpha Linolenic Acid, the EFA found in flax, fish, olive, and other oils). AI is different from the RDA (Required Daily Allowance) which is determined by our government. Many nutritionists feel that the RDAs, as established, are just enough to keep us all on the verge of illness. How can we get this requirement into our diet? Many people take flax oil pills or brave a spoonful of the oil itself. Apparently, this is not the best or most effective way to take flax oil. Taking flax oil creates an acidic environment. Next, flax oil alone is missing all the co-factors to potentiate its benefits: magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, etc. Co-factors are those things that help something to work. Vitamin C is not ascorbic acid; vitamin C is ascorbic acid with the co-factors bioflavanoids, copper, and calcium. And finally, taking flax oil capsules is not the best way to take it because the oils are not “body-compatible:” water-soluble and bio-available. They will not be stored in the body as well as if they were water-soluble. The health benefits that are potentially received via fatty acid metabolism will be limited or absent without the conversion to water-solubility. Johanna Budwig solved this problem with her simple recipe that made the oils water-soluble: three tablespoons of flax oil to a third of a cup of cottage cheese. It tastes terrible, but I’ve experimented with this recipe and added all sorts of good stuff to make it even better. In this form, mixed with the sulfured protein, the oil becomes water-soluble. Now the oils will stay with your body. They will bring the charge back into each cell. Healthy cells will flourish and unhealthy cells will starve. The oxygenated healthy non-acidic environment will, as Budwig points out in her lectures, knock out the cancer cells. Can we get these oils from our foods? Yes, but to get 2.2 grams of LNA, you would have to eat…. 2.5 cups of Wheat Germ / 40 cups of Alfalfa Sprouts / 9 cups of Mixed Nuts and Peanuts / / 157 slices of Whole Wheat Bread / 1/3 cup English Walnuts / 56 Big Apples / 3.5 cups Tuna Salad / 51 Eggs (6 Free-Range Eggs!) / 7.75 quarts Milk 2% / 244 Tomatoes / 56 Granola Bars / 72 Canned Sardines So, as you can see, it’s going to be difficult to get your daily requirements from your diet alone. And here I have a very special surprise for you. I interviewed the man who has continued on Johanna Budwig’s work, here in Minnesota. Omega-3 fatty acids (EFAs) have a long history here in Minnesota. They were first discovered at the University of Minnesota in the late twenties, and some 20 years later were named “Omega”-3 fatty acids. His name is Stan Mann, and he has not only discovered a process for stabilizing milled flax seed (it normally goes rancid in just fifteen minutes), he’s created a product from this process that adds rice bran, many other nutritional co-factors to aid in fatty acid metabolism such as magnesium B6, B12, Vit C, Vit E, zinc, and others. Even greater amounts of antioxidant spectrums are added to help control the living fire that is created when your cells are suddenly hit with this “super” oxidative nutrition (Additionally, when cells find super nutrition, they dump their toxins immediately and without antioxidants to help clean up, you could get sick and feel terribly rotten from this process). Working with the University Scientists, Stan has also helped to create a blood test that will measure how your body is storing these essential fats in addition to or in place of unhealthy fats. They’ve even trademarked one blood test whose results are called the Inflammation Index. It actually measures the body’s potential to produce inflammation. Inflammation should interest all of you, since the medical news lately, as well as television commercials, are hot with Cox2 inhibiting anti-inflammatory drugs like Celebrex or Vioxx. Next time you see their ad on TV, pay attention to the side effects. Science cannot inhibit the Cox2 without side effects. Your NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin or Motrin) all have terrible side effects and if you use them over a period of time you WILL feel the effects, because they are not just “side” effects, they ARE the effects of these drugs. You see, when you inhibit the Cox2 enzyme using NSAIDS this same process inhibits Cox1 production and hence all prostaglandin production, even those prostaglandins that are protecting the stomach lining and kidney function. This produces the side effects. This was supposed to be fixed with the new Cox2 inhibitors that do not inhibit Cox1 production, but sadly, look at the side effects. Let’s go back a bit here to Johanna Budwig. There is a book available by her called: Flax Oil As a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer, and Other Diseases. I used this book to help write this article. Now I want you to note that she aims at three disorders: heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Yes, there are the other diseases (like behavioral disorders: ADD, ADHD, and a host of others), but note the arthritis. This is just one more connection between her work and Stan Mann’s work. With continued intake of water-soluble omega-3 fatty acids, your Inflammation Index drops and you need less and less NSAIDS or Cox2 inhibitors; the EFAs increase the effectiveness of NSAIDs and Cox2 inhibitors, but reduce their damaging side effects. This was proven by the good Dr Budwig, and Stan, with his new product, Omegasentials™; he’s taken it all one step further creating a product that is easily taken daily (you can put it on your cereal, in your yogurt, or in your morning breakfast juice). His company is also about to print an educational book that provides recipe ideas for all kinds of ways to incorporate the valuable supplement in your normal dietary habits like cookies, breads, muffins, salads, etc. Let me tell you right now, in all my years of researching cancer, Omegasentials™ is the single most exciting product I have found to date. Johanna Budwig, in her life time, according to Stan Mann’s research, had a better success rate against cancer than any therapy to date. We know she helped more than her chemotherapy counterparts at the time. The German judicial system helped to demonstrate that. This new product, Omegasentials™, takes Budwig’s work a step further. Mix it with water and you’ll see that it is already water-soluble. The oils do not rise to the top. It contains all the co-factors that potentiate (make work better) the action of omega-3 fatty acids, and they add the antioxidants needed to help control the healing oxidative energy created by bringing healthy oils into the body (not to mention cleaning up dead cancer cells). As an added bonus, they include Tuna Oil to the formula. Stan Mann happens to be a vegan. Vegans do not eat fish products. However, he felt so strongly about how our bodies need the DHA (docosahexaenoic acid; important for maintaining the fluidity and function of cell membranes, particularly in the retina and the brain) from fish oils, that he felt he had to include it in this product. Why? Because the average American either drinks too much caffeine, alcohol, or smokes too much and uses up their stores of DHA. Even those of us who don’t smoke take in enough second hand smoke that depletes our DHA. DHA, when stored in your body, fights depression. It is theorized that Postpartum Depression is caused by the developing fetus, who needs DHA for brain development, during the last stages of pregnancy, pulls all the DHA from the mother (there usually isn’t all that much to begin with since our diets are so poor) leaving her bereft of DHA, hence the massive depression after giving birth. Increase the stores of DHA and you help prevent that depression and possibly get off your Prozac or whatever other drug that’s helping you with one hand and killing you with the other. Anti-angiogenesis Drugs? With all the brouhaha (because they’re non toxic) about anti-angiogenesis drugs (the drugs that stop the growth of new blood vessels to a tumor) lately, perhaps you should know this: You already know that I prefer natural anti-angiogenesis substances to the drugs (because they are cheaper and safer) but did you know that your polyunsaturated oils (corn oils sold in supermarkets everywhere) promote the growth of small blood vessels (by promoting the production of “bad” prostaglandins)? Just Say No To Drugs Omega-3 oils, the oils found in Budwig’s recipe and in Omegasentials™ inhibit angiogenesis by inhibiting the prostaglandins that promote it. So, there you have it. Omegasentials is the best product I’ve yet to find to prevent and fight existing cancers, reverse heart disease, prevent and treat arthritis, prevent and treat depression and a variety of mental disorders, and it has one more added benefit to you athletes out there. Remember back where Johanna Budwig talked about how electrons loves oxygen? Well, the company making Omegasentials™, Integrity Direct, Inc., is receiving letters from their users. And these letters are confirming what Stan Mann theorized all along. If you’ve ever worked out, you’ve probably felt that “burn” you get from a good work out whether you’re lifting weights, playing tennis, or running long distances. It’s caused by using up your oxygen stores. The muscles then produce lactic acid by burning glycogen without oxygen, and this lactic acid is what causes the burn. The letters from users tell a different story. No matter how much they work out, lift, or run, they feel less and less of the burn; not during, or even after their workout. Recovery is much, much quicker too: From Mike and Kati who successfully participated in the World Duathelon Championships held in October 2000 in France: “I was third overall and Mike was first in his age group too, and the amazing thing is we weren’t hurting afterward! Mike said, ‘My gosh, my legs just don’t hurt,’ and we both were expecting them to the next day, and they didn’t! So, it’s going exactly the way you said it was, and we can’t thank you enough….” So we come back to the basics: “Let your food be your medicine.” When your body gets the nutrition it needs you stay healthy. If you are sick, you get better. This is the best food product I’ve yet to discover and you will not ever find my home without it. (As you can see, the latter portion of this article is promoting a product. You can find more information on that product on that web site. But I included this article in this report because it contains many pertinent facts about our own research and decisions about nutrition. -------- Jim Thomas, webmaster) |

The following is from www.mercola.com 
Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil: I am often asked what addition to the diet, outside of increasing the intake of water and fresh green vegetables, I most recommend to fight and prevent disease and live longer. My answer is easy: fish oil, fish oil, fish oil! More specifically, as you should read below, fish oil for those whose vitamin D levels are adequate, and cod liver oil for those who will benefit from its high vitamin D levels. Americans consume a dangerously insufficient amount of Omega-3, a fat essential to good health but only found in fish oil and a few other foods. Meanwhile, our intake of Omega-6, another fat found in corn, soy, sunflower and other oils, is far too high. The ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be 1:1, but the typical American's ratio ranges from 20:1 to 50:1! I am convinced - and even the medical establishment addicted to band-aid treatments versus prevention is conceding - that this lack of Omega-3 in our diets is a primary reason behind many of the diseases Americans face, and our shorter lifespan in relation to many other "first world" countries such as Japan or Greece. Benefits of the Omega-3 Found in Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil
* Helps fight and prevent heart disease, cancer, depression, Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, ulcers, hyperactivity and many other diseases While a helpful form of Omega-3 can be found in flaxseed, walnuts and a few other foods, the most beneficial form of Omega-3 - containing two fatty acids, DHA and EPA, that are essential to fighting and preventing both physical and mental disease - can only be found in fish. Unfortunately, however, I now warn my patients against consuming fish unless they are certain it has been lab-tested and shown to be free of harmful mercury and other toxins, such as the Vital Choice salmon offered through my web site. Fish of all varieties from all water sources are now showing dangerously high levels of the tasteless but highly toxic metal, mercury, and so unless you are certain the fish you are consuming have been independently tested and shown to be free of toxins, I urge you to consider avoiding the fish. And so I recommend, above almost any other addition to everyone's diet -- from infant to senior and every age in between -- fish oil and cod liver oil. I have researched and tried many fish oil brands, and the two I recommend most highly are Living Fuel's Omega 3 & E with Tocotrienols/Tocopherols, and the Carlson's brand of fish oil and cod liver oil. Why Fish Oil and Cod Liver Oil are the Best Available * High in Omega-3 containing the essential fatty acids DHA and EPA While you will pay more for the Living Fuel Omega 3 & E, in addition to the omega-3 with DHA and EPA, it also provides the full-spectrum vitamin E -- containing tocotrienols and tocopherols -- that I recommend to most people taking fish oil to provide antioxidant protection (read "If You’re Taking Fish Oil, Fat-Soluble Antioxidants are Crucial" for a full explanation.) With the Omega 3 & E brand, in other words, you are getting both the highest quality fish oil and the highest-quality vitamin E all in one. If you choose the other brand I highly recommend, Carlson's -- or any brand of fish oil -- I encourage you to read the "Fat Soluble Antioxidants" article and consider also supplementing a high-quality full-spectrum vitamin E. Choosing Cod Liver Oil or Fish Oil: An Important Distinction The main difference between cod liver oil and fish oil is that cod liver oil is high in vitamin D. Many people, especially those who don't have adequate sun exposure, are deficient in vitamin D and would therefore receive all the health benefits from taking cod liver oil. As sunshine is the main source of vitamin D, a significant number of people should consider switching from fish oil in the warm weather months -- when they tend to have more sun exposure -- to cod liver oil in the cool weather months, when their sun exposure is minimal. However, many people don't get enough sun exposure even in warm weather months, meaning their vitamin D levels may still be too low in summer ... they would therefore benefit from cod liver oil even in warm weather months. Finally, while vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk for cancer and other diseases, overdosing on vitamin D -- having levels that are too high -- can bring its own set of problems, incluidng osteoporosis and hardening of your arteries. So if your vitamin D levels are too high, even in the winter months you should consider sticking to fish oil versus cod liver oil. So how do you really know where your body's vitamin D levels are, and therefore which you should choose... fish oil or cod liver oil? There is only one certain way: have your vitamin D levels tested. Because many people are so severely deficient in vitamin D (and because it helps to determine which to consume for your omega-3 intake as well, fish oil or cod liver oil), the vitamin D test is one of the few tests I require every single new patient in my health clinic to take. While many people who believe they get sufficient sun exposure in the warm weather months choose to follow the guideline of fish oil in summer and cod liver oil in winter, it is my strong recommendation to you to have your vitamin D levels tested before making a firm and ongoing commitment when choosing between fish oil and cod liver oil. Once you know your vitamin D levels, you can then choose based on knowing that cod liver oil is significantly higher in vitamin D. Dosage & Other Recommendations Take one teaspoon of Carlson's liquid oil for every 50 pounds of body weight daily. (For Omega 3 & E capsule dosage, go to Omega 3 & E page.) Please note: Unless you are regularly getting your vitamin D levels checked, you should be switching from Fish Oil to Cod Liver Oil around Fall/Winter, and from Cod Liver Oil to Fish Oil around Spring. Also from Dr. Mercola's Newsletter..... Flax Seeds Breakthrough Many people have become increasingly aware of the fact that omega-3 fats are important components of a healthy diet. Having a diet rich in omega-3 fats, such as those found in fish oils, can result in a decreased risk of health complications such as: * Heart disease It can also promote healthy brain and eye development in infants Researchers from institutions across the globe have collaborated their findings and have been successfully producing genetically engineered linseed plants. Through this engineering, very long chain PUFA in seeds are accumulated at considerable levels. Typically, oilseed crops such as canola, safflower and linseed accumulate a significant amount of C18 PUFA in their seed. However, in order for humans to benefit from these "essential" fatty acids, they must be obtained through dietary sources because the body cannot produce them on its own. Also, the health benefit process is a slow one, as these "essential" fatty acids take a long time to metabolize into a very long chain PUFA in the human body. That is why fish oils are the easiest and smartest routes to getting the most health benefits from fatty acids. Consuming fish oils is comparable to directly consuming C20 and C22 PUFA, with much faster health results. With a growing concern of consuming too much contaminated fish, as well as the depletion of fish stocks, the engineering of the very long chain PUFA in oil seed crops is welcome and long overdue. Such discoveries could benefit both human health and the environment. Further, researchers may also be on their way to producing a high quality animal feed that could boost the content of PUFA in products such as meat, eggs, and dairy foods. Examples of the Four Types of Fatty Acids: * Saturated: Animal fats such as those found in meat, poultry and dairy products Science Daily September 20, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Mercola's Comment: Many people believe that they can obtain omega-3 fats by taking flaxseed oil and currently that just is not true. Flax is loaded with ALA, which is very slowly converted to the useful fatty acids, EPA and DHA, that provide nearly all of the benefits you read about for omega-3 fats. Earlier this year I was not surprised to learn that, flaxseed oil increases prostate cancer, which is in direct contrast to fish oil that decreases it. Fish oil is well documented to decrease inflammation relative to flaxseed oil. That said, I don't believe flax should be avoided completely. I think it is a great alternative to psyllium and is great for constipation if one uses organic flaxseeds and grinds 2-6 tablespoons fresh in a coffee grinder it frequently helps resolve it. We do need some ALA and flax is a wonderful source. The problem results when people, usually vegetarians, use flax as the sole supply of omega-3 fats. That simply won't work. Most genetic engineering is being done for self-serving purposes , like producing vaccines or pesticides inexpensively, and not human health. And, if you're wondering if I've changed my mind opinion about genetic engineering -- I am generally opposed to it -- this seems to be one of those rare exceptions I'm not. When one is turning on enzymes already present to produce one of the very building blocks of life, EPA and DHA, we are in a completely different and far safer realm. |

Corruption!
This sign is on display in our local "Oregano's" Restaurant. It features a small newspaper article that reports on the healthy benefits of lycopene found in heated tomato products. From this one actual fact the framed sign goes on to promote the sale and consumption of pasta and pizza as being good for you! With even the simplest of enlightenment about nutrition against disease one would become aware that pepperoni, white flour dough (carbs) and huge amounts of cheese are NOT supportive of self healing. Too often in America commercial interests motivate profit seeking individuals to take a few facts and promote them as truth for their own sake. There is no system or regulating force beyond personal knowledge that controls this, totally because our commercial objectives are more important than our honest interest in the common good, and our real health. Beware! |
