CONCLUSION_________________________________________________________________ 49
Throughout history, women such as Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Jocelyn Bell, Lise Meitner, to mention
just a few, have marked milestones. They have contributed to innovative and significant breakthroughs in
Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Genetics and other fields. Dr. Johanna Budwig is
also one of those women, whose tenacity, passion and diligence aided her to make a massive contribution
to medical research, leaving behind an indisputable legacy which to this day helps save lives. Sadly, she
passed away in 2003 following an accident from which she never recovered.
For the past 60 years, Dr. Budwigs protocol has been very successful in helping people to improve their
health. Her discoveries led her to identify some of the main causes of disease. She discovered that many
known chronic illnesses are due to a lack of oxygen in the body, the consumption of refined or partially hy-
drogenated oils, and a deficiency in essential fatty acids.
In the book Cancer Cause and Cure by Dr. O.P. Verma, on page 47-48, Dr. Budwig is quoted as stating So
I decided straight away to go for human trials and enrolled 600 patients from four big hospitals in Munster
(Germany). I started to give flax oil and cottage cheese to the cancer patients. After just three months,
patients began to improve in health and strength, the yellow green substance in their blood began to dis-
appear, tumors gradually recededI treated approximately 2500 cancer patients in the last few decades.
In her book Flax Oil as a True Aid against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer and Other Diseases, on page
32, Dr. Budwig makes the following statement: I often take very sick cancer patients away from the hospital
where they are said to have only a few days left to live, or perhaps only a few hours. This is mostly accom-
panied by very good results. The very first thing which these patients and their families tell me is that, in
the hospital, it was said they could no longer urinate or produce bowel movements. They suffered from dry
coughing without being able to bring up any mucous. Everything was blocked. It greatly encourages them
when suddenly in all these symptoms, the surface-active fats [flaxseed oil and Quark] with their wealth of
electrons, start reactivating the vital functions and the patients immediately begin to feel better. It is very
interesting to ask how this sudden change is possible. It has to do with the reactions patterns, with the
character of electrons.
In addition to the several clinics and doctors who endorsed Dr. Budwigs work such as Drs. Willner and
Roehm, here is a comment from two German physicians, Dr. Bernd Belles MD and Dr. Gerd Belles MD. Both
specialize in cancer treatment and are strong proponents of Dr. Budwigs healing approach. Here is what
they have to say:
Dr. Budwig goes on to say: From 1939 on, I was in charge of the dispensary in a military
hospital with 5000 beds. In 1949, I returned to Dr. Kaufmanns facility in Munster at his
request and I was immediately assigned the post of State Expert for Chemical Research
on Drugs and Fats.
As part of an evaluation of drugs based on sulfhydryl groups, I was confronted with the fact that no
blood-chemical measure existed to test fat metabolism.
Her knowledge of physics and chemistry came into play and she utilized radioactive isotopes of iodine and
cobalt to develop a technique with paper chromatography that allowed her research team to determine
the exact valences and confirm theories on fat metabolism. She was the first to be able to analyze fat in
living blood, thus opening the door to a vast new and important technology around the world. She noticed
that sick cancer patients blood was all clumped together instead of free-flowing as in healthy people. Also
the blood had a strange greenish unnatural color, which was a sure sign of oxygen deficiency.
To quote Dr. Budwig: Our eating habits are often lacking in high unsaturated acid fats, and contain an excess
of man-made oils known as trans fats (or partially hydrogenated oils). These trans fats are found in com-
monly used cooking oils. Most companies extract oil from corn, sunflower seeds, and other plants through
extreme heat, and other artificial processes, none of which are the natural extraction procedure. As a result,
these oils are no longer alive, and are no longer advisable for consumption. Additionally, when these heavy
oils are incorporated into our cell membranes, they destroy the electric charge. Without that charge, our
cells start to suffocate due to a lack of oxygen. The aforementioned trans fats are also a trigger factor for
Type II Diabetes, since insulin is a large molecule and trans fats challenge the molecules entry through the
cell membrane.
After administering a mix of flaxseed oil and quark, Dr. Budwig found that the blood of her patients was no
longer clumped together and displaying a greenish color. Instead, she could see a bright red color, which is
a very positive indicator and a sign of improvement and increased oxygen intake.
By means of a signed document dated August 24th, 2000, Dr. Johanna Budwig authorized our clinic, the
Budwig Center, to use her techniques and protocols, which have helped a vast number of people to improve
their health.
The Budwig Centers main approach is to establish the reason/cause of the disease and the specific trigger
factors involved. We can determine the cause, whether it is a degenerative or chronic disease, or even a
tumor. Armed with this insight we can alleviate the adverse effects of the disease and aid remission through
natural therapies and treatments. With this approach, we can also reduce the adverse effects of chemother-
apy, radiotherapy and other treatments of general medical practice, if you should choose to undergo such
treatments.
Toxins:
Toxins are the largest contributing factor to disease. Toxins can be produced by tobacco, alcohol, danger-
ous chemical products (harmful chemicals, atmospheric contaminants or hydrocarbons, which are used
and stored in the workplace, home & garden) and other external agents. By weakening the cells, toxins
contribute to the formation of cancerous tumor cells, which breed and encourage other types of cell dam-
age. For example, 3000 chemicals can be found in one cigarette. Studies have also revealed that toxins and
harmful chemicals can be found in our personal hygiene and household products. Heavy metal poisoning
is very common, one of its causes are infections that are developed from certain types of dental fillings. It
is therefore highly advisable that anyone in need of root canal work request that their dentist run X-rays
and any other relevant tests to check for infection. Long-term stress and negative emotional traumas can
produce toxins in our body too. An entire chapter has been written on this subject. Many chronic diseases
are connected to negative emotional experiences of the past or present. Hormone replacement therapy and
hormonal imbalance are also toxic to the body.
Nutritional imbalance:
Our eating habits could be another risk factor. We live in a fast-paced, fast-food society where ready-made
meals and canned food are commonplace, not to mention the way food itself is processed. To this we
add pesticides, fertilizers, chemicals, growth hormones and genetically modified crops to increase shelf-
life; the list goes on and on. Current investigation and countless testimonies indicate that poor nutrition is
a key factor in how many diseases develop. Degenerative illnesses and tumors are also linked to nutritional
deficiency, this is particularly so in the case of diseases that attack the nervous system and induce severe
neurological damage.
Refined vegetable oils, containing trans fats, are widely used for deep-frying (chips, fried chicken, pastries)
and processed foods (mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, and others sauces and dressings). When ingested ex-
cessively, they actually suffocate the cells, depriving them of oxygen. We must take precaution when shop-
ping for food. Vegetable oils may be labeled 100% pure. Even if partly natural, these are still manipulated
products. Why? Because most manufacturers extract oils from plants using extremely high temperatures
and chemical products.
When these oils are mixed with proteins, they hinder blood and lymphatic circulation, cause heart damage
and inhibit our regeneration process. This slows down and potentially halts completely the bio-electric
activity in these areas. According to Dr. Budwig, corrosive and caustic chemical products, namely, sodium
hydroxide (commonly known for its use as a drain cleaner) are also used in the refining process.
Eliminating these harmful pseudo fats and replacing them with healthier ones (e.g. flaxseed oil and other
cold-pressed oils) is a giant step towards fighting cancer and other diseases.
Include cold-pressed oils in your diet, such as: olive oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower oil or virgin coconut oil
(which is the best for cooking because it does not alter chemically when exposed to high temperatures). The
label must read cold-pressed, virgin or extra-virgin (in the case of Olive Oil).
Most food is cooked between 350- 400F (175200C). At home people generally cook food at more than
105F (40C). These high temperatures destroy most of the beneficial enzymes. Steam cooking our food is
a much better alternative.
The goal of Budwig Centers protocol is to rectify the proportion of all minerals and nutrients in the body
in order to achieve the balance as well as the electromagnetism required for all the necessary reactions to
take place in our body.
Why are some people more prone to degenerative diseases, tumors and other chronic illnesses than oth-
ers? Well, we are all exposed to parasites, virus, fungus, harmful toxins and other health risk factors on a
daily basis. Moreover, our immune system can be weakened by severe negative emotional shocks, (such as
the death of a loved one, divorce, family issues, financial setbacks, etc.), over-working, a negative state of
mind (which can also be the trigger for depression and anxiety disorder), lack of sleep and poor nutrition.
Unknown to most, all of these situations can severely undermine our immune system and be contributing
factors to a major illness.
In summary, if we follow a balanced diet, eat the right foods and, therefore, nurture a strong immune sys-
tem, our bodies will be able to fight off intruders and withstand the stress negative experiences can put on
our system.
The mixture of flaxseed oil with cottage cheese/quark also known as The Budwig Muesli tak-
en while following the diet as detailed below, is the cornerstone of the Budwig Program.
Step 1 Mix 3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil with 6 tablespoons of cottage cheese/quark (maximum 2% fat
content). If the fat content of the cottage cheese or quark is too high, the flaxseed oil will not mix into it,
cancelling out the oxygenating benefits of the Budwig Muesli. Do not stir by hand. Use a blender or a hand-
held electric mixer for 1 minute at a slow speed. The muesli should have the consistency of whipped cream,
with no excess oil. Do not add anything else until it has a creamy consistency.
IMPORTANT! Please be advised that step 2 (adding the flaxseeds) is not appli-
cable to patients with cancer of the colon, rectum and especially patients who
have had a colostomy.
Step 2 Separately, in a coffee grinder, grind 2 tablespoons of whole flaxseeds and add to the mix made
in step 1. This muesli turns rancid after 20 minutes, so it must be ingested immediately. Do not grind and
store seeds to be used later.
Optional To sweeten the muesli you may add 1 teaspoon of honey (raw, unpasteurized honey is best,
containing all of its healthy properties) or blended pieces of fruit. However, if you prefer other flavors, add
lemon, parsley or garlic. If you would rather a runnier consistency, add goats milk, oat milk, almond milk, or
organic rice milk. You could also add dried fruits, such as ground hemp seeds, ground almonds, ground sun-
flower seeds, Brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds (do not use peanuts). For a change, why not try adding vanilla,
cinnamon, lemon juice, raw cocoa or grated coconut. Some prefer a touch of cayenne pepper be creative!
The flaxseed oil must be kept cold, so store it in the fridge. Try to purchase directly from the man-
ufacturer, (e.g. Barleans, N. America, who offer a discount to cancer patients on the Budwig pro-
gram or Linovita, Europe), or from a herbalist/health food shop.
IMPORTANT Once made, the Budwig muesli should NOT BE STORED. It must be ingested within
20 minutes of its preparation.
The cottage cheese/quark can be frozen if necessary.
Note: When quantities are mentioned this is what we mean: 1 teaspoon = 5ml,
1 tablespoon = 15 ml, 6 spoonfuls = 1 cup, 4 tablespoons = cup.
SUGAR: Cancer cells require 18 times more sugar than normal healthy cells, because their mitochondria are
damaged. Further proof that cancer is fed by sugar is shown by the principles involved in performing a PET
scan. The doctor injects glucose (sugar) into the veins when performing a PET scan because the glucose is
quickly taken up by the cancer cells so that these light up in the test. Although we may directly avoid sugar,
please keep in mind that the following foods have sugar content: Ice-cream (commercial ice creams also
often contain chemicals like carboxymethyl cellulose, butyraldehyde, amyl acetate and diethyl glycol which
is also used in anti-freeze and paint removers), pastries, fizzy drinks, boxed cereals, ready-made sauces and
even in savory food, for example, bread.
Read labels carefully. Avoid fructose syrups, maple syrup, sugarcane honey (molasses) and artificial sweet-
eners. Fizzy (soft) drinks can have up to 10 teaspoons of white refined sugar. Fruit juices from concentrate
have a high sugar content and low nutritional value since the UHT manufacturing process leads to the loss
of most of its beneficial vitamins.
REFINED OR HYDROGENATED OILS: Regardless of the plant or seed, oil that have been refined cause our
cells to suffocate. We should, therefore, avoid fried food (chicken, fries, chips, doughnuts, etc.) and try to
cook our hot meals at home using coconut oil, which can tolerate high temperature without altering its
components.
DAIRY PRODUCTS: Except cottage cheese or quark used in the Budwig Muesli, we do not use dairy products
(including butter) in our diet because they contain animal fats that retain toxins and contribute also towards
Candida and fungus growth.
BUTTER: Should be avoided, make your own Oleolux instead (recipe provided at the end of this guide).
SHELLFISH: Lobster, clams, shrimp, prawns, (although they are not shellfish: squid, octopus, and other mol-
lusks are not recommended either). Shellfish (from which seafood is made) eat everything in their environ-
ment; so by consuming them you may also be ingesting heavy metals and other toxins. Wild (non-farm feed)
fish is acceptable.
PORK AND COLD MEATS: Please be reminded that animal toxins are stored in their fat, which is why it is best
to avoid pork and cold meats. Also, many types of cold meats contain chemical additives such as nitrates.
Dr. Johanna Budwig said that red meat contributes to swelling or inflammation and was not in favor of eat-
ing pork due to the nature of the pigs digestive system. Pigs eat everything in sight and digest their food
in approximately 4 hours, leaving a large amount of toxins, which end up in the fatty tissue of the animal.
Ongoing consumption of pork produce has been linked to inflammation of the joints (arthritis).
REFINED GRAINS & CEREALS: White bread, pasta, and all refined cereals are hard to digest. They do not
contain the nutrients and fiber needed by the intestine, and worse still, they help increase glucose levels,
which also promote Candida and fungus issues.
MICROWAVE: Microwaves destroy most nutrients and the beneficial elements that food can provide for us,
as well as it distorts the molecular structure of food.
TEFLON (Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): Food cooked on Teflon type frying pans contains small particles of
PTFE, which, when consumed, are harmful to the reproductive system.
ALUMINIUM KITCHEN UTENSILS: We recommend using ceramic kitchen utensils and we provide them
during your stay at the Budwig Centre. We also recommend cooking with cookware made of stainless steel,
wrought-iron, glass or earthenware.
SAUERKRAUT JUICE AND FERMENTED FOODS: Dr. Budwig favored fermented foods. Dr. Budwig had all her
patients drink a glass of fresh sauerkraut juice first thing in the morning. She recommended to add a little
pineapple juice if you find the taste hard to take. She knew that cabbage offers a host of health benefits.
The famous Captain James Cook sailed around the world without losing a single sailor to scurvy, thanks to
the foods his ship carried, including sixty barrels of sauerkraut.
COTTAGE CHEESE / QUARK / KEFIR COTTAGE CHEESE / FROMAGE BLANC: (not on its own) mixed with
ground flaxseed oil muesli, twice a day. Fromage blanc (Spanish Quark), when made from skimmed milk, is
very similar to low-fat quark. It is important to use the low or zero-fat variety, since, for the purpose of re-
ducing what Dr. Budwig called respiratory poisons, it is advised to use low-fat quark (cottage cheese) for the
preparation of the flax oil/cottage cheese mixture (Dr. Budwig considered animal products to be respiratory
poisons and personally favored a vegetarian diet). The rich in omega 3 linseed oil, which she was greatly
in favor of, only produced the chemical reaction that enabled the flaxseed oil to become water soluble and
enter the cells when mixed with quark or cottage cheese with low or zero-fat content.
The negative aspects of dairy seem to be largely neutralized when combined with flaxseed, as a chemical
reaction takes place and the muesli formula becomes bio available and henceforth floods the body with
high amounts of life giving oxygen.
SWEETENERS: Xylitol from Birch trees (avoid Xylitol obtained from corn or other sources) Agar (a jelly-like
substance obtained from algae), and stevia from plants, are acceptable sweeteners.
HEALTHY ANIMAL MEAT OR GUARANTEED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN: Dr. Budwig stated in her book Flax
oil as a True Aid against Arthritis, Heart Infarction and Cancer, on page 34: I do not forbid patients meat,
unless they are on the edge of the grave. Following an interview Dr. O.P. Verma held with Dr. Budwig, he
quoted her in his book Cancer Cause and Cure, on page 56 as saying: I reject frozen and preserved meat.
Fresh meat is OK.
In her Oil-Protein Diet Cookbook, Dr. Budwig writes on page 175: While traveling, you can always care for
yourself with Linomel and hot or cold milk, and/or fruit juices. She also recommends eating various types
of fresh fish to temporarily replace the flax oil and cottage cheese/quark when travelling. She writes: ...you
can protect yourself against harm while travelling by ordering fresh fish such as trout, pike, carp and other
fresh fish.
Meat can be replaced with mushrooms and seaweeds, especially Spirulina (contains about 65% protein
and 3 times as much protein as red meat). There are many other vegetarian sources of protein such as
hemp, lentils, sprouts, nuts and seeds. But if you decide to eat meat, we recommend you choose free

range, organic poultry (chicken, duck, turkey). Red meat causes inflammation and, of course, non-organ-
ic red meat contains synthetic hormones and anti-biotics. Processed meats have several harmful pre-
servatives. The only meat that a cancer patient would consume sparingly would be free range, organic
chicken and wild caught fish (fish with fins and scales) such as: Anchovy, Barracuda, Bass, Bluefish, Carp,
Cod, Flounder, Grouper, Haddock, Hake, Halibut, Herring, Kingfish, Mackerel, Minnow, Mullet, Perch or
Bream, Pike or Pickerel or Jack, Sardine or Pilchard, Snapper, Sole, Tilapia, Trout, Ahi, Aku, Albacore,
Bonito or Tombo and Whitefish.
EGGS: Dr. Budwig was a vegetarian (or close to it), so she did not use eggs in her cooking. She did allow
some types of meat, so perhaps organic, free range eggs would be permitted. If you decide to consume
eggs, opt for poached, soft boiled or, even better, raw in a smoothie (make sure to wash the eggs before
consuming them raw).
ORGANIC FRUIT AND VEGETABLES: Whenever possible, we recommend consuming seasonal fruits and
vegetables, preferably raw or steamed to retain all the nutrients. For a larger intake, we suggest mak-
ing vegetable juices or fruit and vegetable shakes. We do not recommend fruit juices where the pulp
has been separated from the fruit. We advise you to use a type of blender that retains the pulp and is
capable of juicing vegetables like carrots (such as BLENDTEC or VITAMIX). Always try your very best to
consume only organic. When fruits and vegetables are organic you also have the peace of mind that
they are not GMO (Genetically modified).
NUTS, DRIED FRUITS AND SEEDS: Only natural (no hydrogenated oils) and not roasted. Almonds can
be soaked to make them more usable in sauces (see recipes). Several published studies have identified
walnuts as bearing unique cancer-fighting qualities. Researchers at UC Davis and other institutions have
uncovered that diets rich in whole walnuts, as well as walnut oil, have the ability to slow prostate can-
cer growth in mice. Other studies determined that just two handfuls of walnuts each day could reduce
to half the risk of breast cancer and tumor growth. It is believed that walnuts can shrink levels of the
hormone IGF-1, known to play a key role in development of both prostate and breast cancer. Also Re-
searchers found they reduced cholesterol and increased insulin sensitivity, making them valuable in the
fight against heart disease and diabetes.
Flaxseed or Linseed oil is delicate and subject to oxidation. From the moment
of extraction until it reaches your kitchen it should always be kept between 5C
and 12C. Since this is logistically difficult and out of most peoples hands, it is
recommended to include the actual seeds, ground in our daily food plan.
Flax seeds themselves with the shell or husk contain very important nutrition
that is not in the oil. Dr. Johanna Budwig included ground flaxseeds in her meals
in addition to taking the muesli.
Another way to eat them is soaking the seeds 2 or 3 hours before to wake up
the seeds and eat them whole. This can be done with chia seeds as well.
HERBS and HERBAL TEAS: Dr. Budwig used herbs generously in her program. Such as Chai tea, Jasmine
tea, Basil, cinnamon bark, clove, fennel seed, dandelion, fenugreek seed, ginger, spearmint, star anise,
turmeric, and thyme. Many herbal teas are effective for pain and meridian balancing as in Chinese
Medicine, which we emphasize in our clinic. (More on Chinese Medicine and Herbs later in this Guide)
COLD PRESSED OR EXTRA VIRGIN OILS: Olive oil, sunflower seed oil, hemp seed oil, macadamia oil,
sesame oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil etc. Each type of oil has a distinct taste and contains vital charac-
teristics to oxygenate the cells. They are to be ingested raw, as a dressing or in a shake. The only oil that
should be used for cooking is coconut oil.
ORGANIC PULSES: Chickpeas, beans and lentils are all very nutritional, and especially rich in amino-ac-
ids. Natural (no sugar) pickles are also fine.
Yogurt: First of all, if you read through all her books and research, she never recommended or sanc-
tioned the use of yogurt as a suitable substitute for quark in the Budwig Diet. She was adamant on using
quark (cottage cheese) right up to publishing her last book in September 1999. That is not to say that
she necessarily was opposed to yogurt, she just did not mention it as an option. It probably is not as ef-
fective as cottage cheese/quark because it lacks the protein density of cottage cheese and may not fully
mix with flaxseed oil. The dairy product needs a certain protein density to facilitate complete water sol-
ubility of the flaxseed oil. After mixing yogurt even in double or triple proportion of the cottage cheese,
on close observation with a magnifying glass you will find that there are still tiny oil specks floating on
top, yet with quark that does not happen. Please keep in mind that a chemical reaction takes place
when the sulfhydryl groups in quark or cottage cheese bind with the unsaturated fatty acids in flaxseed
oil. This reaction allows the flaxseed oil to become water soluble and easily be absorbed into the cell
membrane. I would not risk using yogurt when you are fighting with cancer and your life is at stake!
Kefir Cottage Cheese: This is an acceptable substitute for lactose intolerant persons. For people who
seem to have some intolerance to dairy it seems to be easily solved by making your own homemade
Kefir Cottage cheese. The kefir is already fermented for a longer period, thus the conversion of lactose
to lactic acid is virtually complete, and doesnt present the same digestive problems, even for those with
irritable bowel disease, in most cases. After mixing the Kefir Cottage cheese and linseed oil for at least
one minute, try adding the juice of a whole lemon for even better digestion and a fresh zingy flavor.
If this Kefir Cottage cheese still causes you some dairy intolerance issues, try taking the enzyme lactase
when consuming dairy (lactase pills).
Goat or Sheep Milk: In all her books and interviews, Dr. Budwig never mentioned goat milk. She does
however mention sheeps milk as being acceptable. Since the fat in goat milk is different and generally
considered healthier, it could be used exceptionally if you cannot locate Cottage cheese from cow milk.
If you live in a country where goat and sheep milk are the norm, use sheep milk if at all possible, and
make Kefir Cottage cheese with that milk.
Vegetable Powders, Eggs, Nuts or Garlic: Dr. Budwig would never approve of any of these substitutes
for the following reasons: Dr. Budwig was aware of the Vegan alternative, BioSans Companion Nutri-
ents, but when asked by a Swedish professor about quark alternatives for his client, former president,
Bill Clinton, she disregarded companion nutrients completely. And there is no indication that they work.
The same is true of vegetable protein powder instead of cottage cheese. Over the 16 years I have been
researching cancer remedies and studying the Budwig protocol here at the Budwig Center, I have not
had any patients or heard of any cancer healing testimonials on record, achieved with the help of Bio-
Sans Companion Nutrients, powdered vegetable protein or other substitutes.

Based upon USDA food tables, leeks, chives, garlic, cabbage, red pepper and asparagus contain sulfur,
but not sulfurated proteins in any appreciable amount. We need to keep in mind that it is not the sulfur
in vegetables that we are after, but the sulfurated proteins. So while these vegetables (as well as many
other foods) do contain sulfurated proteins, the problem is they do not contain the amounts required
for the Budwig mix.
Egg yolks: would be a better choice but they are much too fatty for consideration in the Budwig diet and
the consumption of eggs, even organic free-range, is controversial as nowhere did Dr. Budwig approve
of them directly.
Nuts and seeds: have a very high level of sulfur containing proteins, especially walnuts. The proteins in
nuts and seeds are already balanced with omega 3, 6 and 9 fats by nature, but when flax oil is added, this
natural balance is lost. Therefore, once again we will not reach the proper fat/protein proportion obtained
with dairy, as recommended by Dr. Budwig. In conclusion, there are two reasons why using nuts as a dairy
substitute would not be effective: Too much omega-6 and too little sulfur proteins in relation to the fats.
Whenever possible, purchase organic food, as studies have proven that organic produce contains up to
69% more natural antioxidants than conventional crops with pesticides.
A UK research group inspected data from over 300 reports testing the differences between organic and
conventional crops.
They reached the conclusion that the antioxidant impulse acquired from changing to organic produce is
the equivalent of one or two additional portions of fruit and vegetables every day.
This change also reduces exposure to nitrates, nitrites and toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and
cadmium. Pesticides and herbicides literally form a layer on our food, while exposure to these chemicals
damages our DNA and is linked to such conditions as Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases.
She also spoke of electron thieves, such as margarine, animal fat, butter, nitrate, ionizing radiation, cyto-
statics (chemotherapy), antioxidants and vitamins with antioxidant properties (in high doses). These can
prevent the uptake of electrons, blocking cell respiration.
The following are quotes from the Budwig protocol: Vitamins in capsules or pills contain fragmented nu-
trients and are mostly synthetically made. There is a long list of synthetic components, some of which are
damaging; amongst these synthetic elements is talcum which is similar to asbestos.
Dr. Budwig also said: High doses or levels of antioxidants (antioxidant supplements) could reduce effec-
tiveness or interfere with the Budwig Program. She encouraged her patients to eat food in the form that
God made it, not manipulated and processed. Therefore foods that naturally contain antioxidants are ac-
ceptable. For example, when eating grapes try to eat the seeds of the grape, as they are one of the richest
sources of natural antioxidants.
The Budwig program does not include any vitamin, mineral or antioxidant supplements.
Were Vitamin C in high doses and Vitamin C infusions approved by Dr. Budwig?
Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling (Nobel Chemistry Prize in 1954 and Nobel Peace Prize in 1962), advocated
the consumption of high doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer. Although
Dr. Johanna Budwig was aware of Dr. Paulings research, she did not use it in her program. However, from Dr.
Budwigs views with respect to antioxidants (Vitamin C is an antioxidant), she did not recommend doing Dr.
Paulings therapy at the same time as the Budwig Program. That is to say that if a patient wants Vitamin C
infusions, they are advised to stop ingesting the cottage cheese/quark and flaxseed oil mix during that time.
The effects of insufficient oxygen can range from fatigue to a potentially fatal disease. Dr. Otto Warburg,
Nobel Prize winner both in 1931 and later in 1944 for discovering the cause of Cancer, said: Cancer has one
main cause. The main cause of cancer is when normal cellular oxygen breathing, is replaced with an anaer-
obic cellular breathing (less oxygen). Once a cells oxygen availability drops below 60% of its normal rate,
the cell is forced to change to an inferior energy production method (fermentation); the cell cannot return
to an adequate oxygenation system, and loses control of replication, and therefore starts to frantically make
copies of itself, a condition we call cancer. Dr. Warburg pointed out that any substance depriving a cell of
oxygen is a carcinogen.
Dr. Budwig discovered that by supplying flaxseed oil and quark to her patients, the bodys oxygen absorp-
tion increased immediately and naturally.
Consumption of refined sugar indirectly or even directly contributes to the formation of tumors. Tumors ac-
tually ferment and use sugar to do so. The tumor is not really your enemy, however, as it helps your body
expel poisons. So in other words, without the tumor you could be very ill. Once you carefully follow the full
Budwig protocol, the body which made the tumor in the first place will also cause it to disappear all on
its own. So we need to follow an approach that works with the body. Instead of starting off by removing the
tumor, we first need to do a deep detoxification program for at least 3 to 4 weeks, using special herbs, gentle

mini trampoline sessions, coffee enemas, daily walks or sunbathing (the detoxification program should be
adjusted to each patients needs) and other clinical treatments that help detoxing. Next, we need to follow
the full Budwig approach for two or three months. If by then the tumor, for whatever reason, starts to grow,
which it rarely does you can always undergo surgery to remove it.
Cutting out the tumor is not necessary wrong but it would be wrong to trust that the problem in our body
is gone even if during surgery the tumor was completely and successfully removed. This of course does buy
the patient time. However, if the original cause (the imbalance in the body) is not addressed, the body con-
tinues to produce cancer cells which will subsequently form another tumor.
Here are some natural remedies for managing pain. Use a few of them and
see which ones work on your type of pain.
Reset Resonator Sessions
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Therapy
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) [recommended]
Earthing (or grounding)
Acupuncture and Acupressure
Neural therapy (administered at Budwig Center)
Baking Soda baths which alkalize the body
Coffee Enemas harmful bacteria is a leading cause of pain
Flaxseed oil mixed with quark or cottage cheese (FO/CC) complemented by
Eldi oil enemas, massages and oil packs
Kombucha (honey green tea Jun Kombucha)
Apple cider vinegar & honey:
1 - 8 oz glass of cool water
1 - cap full or apple cider vinegar
2 - Tsp of organic honey
Stir well and sip.
Nutritional yeast: pain stemming from neuritis (inflammation of a nerve)
may respond quickly to nutritional yeast, a rich source of B vitamins (which
are sometimes described as nerve food).
Essiac tea (not indicated for breast cancer patients)
Mushrooms: Maitake (alleviated pain in 83% of patients), cordyceps, shii-
take & reishi
Pau dArco (also called Lapacho), Goldenseal root poultices
Echinacea, turmeric/curcumin, burdock, ginger and Oregano Oil are all
helpful.
Hot chili pepper powder in water
Habanero peppers, garlic, ginger (see Habanero peppers plus garlic can-
cer treatment): In some cases when there is severe pain and nothing else
works, this recipe has proven effective within minutes, providing 12-hour
pain relief.
Vitamin B-3 (Niacin)-- 50 mg, up to 6 times per day
Amygdalin/Laetrile/Vitamin B17- relieves pain, nausea, & vomiting. Avail-
able in the form of ground apricot pits. Note: freshly ground flaxseeds, an
essential part of the Budwig diet, are good sources of natural Vitamin B17.
MSM - 2 to 8 grams (2,000 to 8,000 milligrams) of MSM per day, in 2-3
divided dosages, depending on gastrointestinal tolerance.
Consume organic, natural food produce (no chemicals, additives, preservatives, pesticides, etc.), spring wa-
ter; use natural body-care products and sea salt or sodium bicarbonate for brushing teeth and gargling.
Why did Dr. Budwig recommend walking outdoors and sunbathing, even on
cloudy or rainy days?
Dr. Budwig made her patients sunbathe and take walks in the fresh air for 20 minutes a day, even on cloudy
or rainy days. The suns source of vitamins strengthens the immune system, regulates blood pressure and
helps balance cholesterol and pH levels in the body. This is why she wanted all her patients, even those in
advanced stages of cancer, to benefit from this therapy.
Sunbathing on the beach, on the banks of a river or by a lake is highly recommended (within the previously
mentioned time frame of 20 min a day). Not only does this expose the body to the suns benefits, walking
barefoot on sand or on grass helps to balance the immune system and our blood pressure. Thus, it is highly
recommended to do this on a daily basis. On average, southern Spain has 325 sunny days a year, which
makes it an ideal location for our Center. Patients can enjoy frequent walks on the beach, which is only 15
minutes away from our clinic.
Dr. Budwig was adamant that all her patients have daily sunbathing sessions with as little clothes on as
possible. The sun is a source of vitamins, but we must be very careful when being exposed to the suns
rays. When sunbathing, take note of the following precautions to avoid burns, heat exhaustion, and other
damages to the skin, which could also evolve into skin cancer if exposed continuously and for long sessions.

PRECAUTIONS:
Use hats or caps to protect your head.
Do not use any sun protection that has harmful chemicals in them. If you
only expose yourself for 20 minutes, no sun screen is needed. If you go fish-
ing, skiing or some other outdoor activity that requires you to be a long time
in the sun, use Shea butter (Karite). You can also make your own homemade
sunscreen; http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2015/06/how-to-make-your-
own-sunscreen-lotion.html
Keep hydrating the body by drinking lots of water, or cold herbal tea.
What exercise should I be doing?
Dr. Budwig said: Each case should be studied indi-
vidually, but I would never allow a Cancer patient or
of any other serious illness to run, or cycle... The
sick body needs a certain amount of rest.
As mentioned previously, the type of exercise, its intensity and duration, depend very much on each pa-
tients condition.
Generally speaking, a minimal exercise regime could be followed as long as the patient is healthy and the
activities do not require too much effort.
Walking and Swimming: Everyone can do it and it does not require too much effort. We are helping our
heart and our body. Depending on the patients condition, age, and physical strength, these walks could last
between 10-30 minutes, preferably during the day. A recent study shows that ten minutes of brisk exercise
triggers metabolic changes that last at least one hour.
Deep Breathing: This can be done lying down. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh
sound. Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. Hold your breath
for a count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.
Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly through your mouth. The tip of
your tongue stays in position the whole time. Exhalation takes twice as long as inhalation. With practice, you
can slow it all down and get used to inhaling and exhaling more deeply.
The mini trampoline helps to stimulate the immune system, the circulatory and lymphatic systems, as well
as the heart, muscles, and joints. The movement generated puts the diaphragm to work (as laughing does)
and massages the thymus gland located right behind the breastbone.
www.BudwigCenter.com - www.BudwigCenter.eu - www.BudwigCenter.es
19
These exercises are very simple and do not require much time or physical fitness. According to your health
condition, move up and down on the trampoline for approximately 3 minutes to start with and work up to
10 minutes, using small jumps (dont worry if you cant lift your feet off the trampoline, as the mere up &
down movement provides enough exercise).
Stimulation of the lymphatic system helps the immune system, and stimulation of the circulatory system
aids oxygenation of the cells; both reactions are important for cancer patients. NASA research found re-
bounding to be 68% more efficient than running on a treadmill!
Krill oil was not mentioned by Dr. Budwig when she talked about cod liver oil. It is one of the best natural
foods for preventing excessive blood clotting, which can lead to strokes and heart attacks (a concern once
you reach your 40s). This is a tiny shrimp-like creature that lives in the pristine waters of Antarctica. Krill
feed on plankton floating on the oceans surface and contain high amounts of beneficial omega-3 fats EPA
and DHA, and much more absorbable. And because krill is at the bottom of the food chain, it does not
accumulate mercury, unlike large fish species. The Flaxseed oil and Cottage cheese mix also helps prevent
heart attacks and strokes.
Does the FSOCC thin the blood, posing a problem if I get surgery?
Some suffer from swelling and/or excessive bleeding after an operation. Flax oil does thin the blood some-
what; however, the Flaxseed oils mild blood thinning quality should not be a serious matter unless you are
on blood-thinning medication. In that case, you should make allowances for it. You need vitamin K, which
is the natural blood clotting agent. You can get it from dark green leafy vegetables, especially Swiss chard
and Kale.
Should I avoid all fruits, juices, honey, etc., since sugar feeds cancer?
Refined sugar is bad for you and is believed to feed cancer and causes a host of diseases. However, please
understand that most natural foods such as vegetables, legumes, grains and nuts also contain carbo-
hydrates, which are broken down into glucose (sugar) during digestion. Dr. Budwig made that clear that
refined sugars (white refined sugar, cane sugar, maple syrup and so on) should not be consumed. She did
allow berries, fruit and fruit juices because of their nutritional value (without specifying which ones). When
consumed in reasonable quantities, most natural foods (including fruits) have a glycemic load that is low
or average. The important thing is to have a balanced, healthy diet that will provide our body with the nec-
essary energy and nutrition. Dr. Budwig did not make a hard rule about using honey for the Budwig mix;
she simply stated that some may be used. However, the flax oil/cottage cheese seems to mix better when
honey is added. Only use non-pasteurized, raw honey because eating processed honey is like eating sugar.
Stevia and xylitol (only use xylitol from Birch trees), figs, dates and raisins (note that the glycemic load of
these three is higher than most fruits) as well as all fruits are acceptable sugar substitutes.
WARNING: Not recommended for liver cancer patients or extremely thin and
weak patients.
Dr. Budwig did not use coffee enemas on her patients. She did, how-
ever, administer flaxseed oil enemas. Coffee enemas are one of the
most effective ways to detoxify the liver and reduce pain. However,
they are not recommended for long periods of time, as they deplete
the body of minerals. Its advisable to do the enema at the beginning
of any liver detox treatment, preferably once a day for 3 weeks, after
which you can reduce to twice a week. Chlorophyll enemas are also
very rewarding (using liquid chlorophyll diluted in water). Green tea
or chlorophyll enemas are not as effective for detoxifying the liver, but
an excellent option from time to time.
As abnormal cells start to naturally die off, the body needs to purify itself to avoid self-poisoning. We recom-
mend that you consult a specialist first in order to avoid side-effects.
The caffeine absorbed into the enterohepatic circulation system through coffee enemas purifies the hepatic
ducts (including the bile ducts) from toxins, and also cleanses the sigmoid colon. It is a low-volume enema
that remains only in the sigmoid colon.
There is a vein system between the sigmoid colon and the liver called the enterohepatic circulation system.
When the stool reaches this point (the sigmoid colon), it contains many toxins, which are sent to the liver
for detoxification. The coffee enema will increase the transit time in the bowel. The caffeine that is absorbed
into the enterohepatic system causes the liver ducts, including the bile ducts, to empty out toxins (it actually
www.BudwigCenter.com - www.BudwigCenter.eu - www.BudwigCenter.es
21
causes the liver to vomit out toxins). Releasing the toxins into the hepatic ducts, makes room for toxins
from the body to enter the liver for detoxification. The alkaloids in the caffeine stimulate the production of
glutathione-S-transferase, which is an enzyme that facilitates the liver detoxification pathways.
Coffee enemas are safe even for people who are sensitive to caffeine because the coffee remains in the
sigmoid colon, where it will not be absorbed, provided the proper amount is used and the enema bag is not
placed too high.
Always use the Eldi oils in conjunction with the oil-protein diet (Budwig Diet) and do this consistently, even
if it seems difficult at times. The oil-protein diet together with Eldi oils can be a helpful method to improve
your health and overcome illnesses.
It is best to start with a water enema to cleanse the bowel (see instructions for water enema in this Guide,
in the section about coffee enemas).
Once all the oil has been absorbed, have the patient first lie on their right side for 15 minutes and then on
their left for another 15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. Be sure the patient has a comfortable surface to
lie down on.
NOTE: Dr. Budwig did not leave exact indications for enemas using Eldi oils (such
as any particular symptoms that would suggest the patient needs it), but it is
assumed that the enema was mainly used in very severe situations where the
patient could not eat the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese (quark) mix.
You can pack a small stick blender and coffee bean grinder (for the flaxseed), a mixing container, and some
paper towels. Transport your flax oil and seeds in a small dark, insulated, airtight food storage glass or plas-
tic container and upon arrival in your hotel room, store it in the fridge. When going out for a meal, ask for
healthy menu items such as salads, baked potatoes, steamed vegetables etc. and in your small airtight food
storage container, bring along your own flax oil/cottage cheese dressing made up in advance (but only a few
hours in advance, as it should be as fresh as possible). (Credits: Healing Cancer Naturally)
Many of these foods are very filling, and sometimes you may need to force yourself to keep eating even if
you feel full. It may be a good idea not to eat a ton of vegetables if gaining weight is a priority for you. It
simply leaves less room for energy-dense foods. Eating whole fruit is fine, but eat fruit that does not require
too much chewing, such as bananas.
After the cancer has gone into remission, how long should one stay on the Bud-
wig program?
In Dr. Budwigs books Kosmische Krfte gegen Krebs [Cosmic Forces Against Cancer], Der Tod des Tumors
Bd. 2, [The Death of the Tumor Vol. 2], and Cancer - The Problem and The Solution, she writes: With
persons who previously suffered from cancer and who feel well again - having even lost their tumors and
metastases - after strictly adhering to the oil-protein diet, Ive observed the following: if they re-change
their diet within the first months [after their recovery], such as by eating sausages and cold cuts or eating
on a holiday whatever the usual hotel cuisine will serve, all of a sudden, their erythrocytes will be heavily
re-infested by these cancerobes.
Usually by the time you are considered free of cancer, your taste buds and food choices have been perma-
nently altered and you no longer desire harmful foods. Your mind and body together will reject them as you
know how dangerous they can be. This will make it easier to follow the basic Budwig food plan for the rest
of your life to maintain optimum health and prevent cancer from returning. If a person on a rare occasion
were to eat a small portion of sugary pastries, ice cream, or some deep fried food, etc., this would not be se-
rious, however the important thing is to never go back to the unhealthy food choices of before that caused
the cancer in the first place.
It would seem that when a person has had cancer once, they will always have an increased susceptibility to
develop cancer in the future. For this reason, one must be careful for at least 3 years, although we recom-
mend 5 years. Is there really any better way to live, then a plan that makes you feel full of energy and life,
and helps you avoid a host of health issues? Once you lose your good health, it is hard to enjoy much of any-
thing. The Budwig Center recommends that you continue to detoxify the body on a regular basis. Daily 20
to 30 minute walks and jumping on the rebounder, along with lots of positive experiences, spending happy
times with friends and family. It is highly advised to have regular sessions of EFT (Tapping) to deal with new
or old negative emotional issues. Laughing with friends and watching comedy movies, as well as singing, all
exert a strong healthy influence on the body.
Dr. Budwig writes in her book Der Tod des Tumors (Bd. 2) [The Death of the Tumor, Vol. 2], on page 143,
on the subject of self-help and treatments she endorsed: What other therapeutic measures are advisable,
permitted, recommended? I always reply: Everyone should do what they can - cold water treatments, hy-
perthermia, homeopathy, phytotherapy (herbs), even psychotherapy, or sometimes even surgical interven-
tion depending on the situation.
Dr. Budwig herself encouraged patients to proactively employ other personally helpful natural and holistic
treatment modalities, thus recognizing that an active stance may be required to optimally support and en-
hance the self-healing process of the physical body, and that the whole person, or body/mind, may need to
be addressed and engaged in this venture.
Dr. Budwigs philosophy was not about destroying cancer cells, per se, but more the approach of destroying
the microbes and pathogens that are in the cell. In doing so, the cancer cell then reverts back to a normal
healthy cell or, if they are too damaged, they will naturally die and leave the body. Therefore, the Budwig
Center only uses therapies and remedies that are in harmony with her approach.
Our staff at the Budwig Center consists of two Medical Doctors, an Oncologist,
a registered Nurse, two certified Naturopaths, two psychotherapists, a VEGA
test Expert therapist, which all together can provide several effective Budwig
approved therapies that are outlined here in our Guide
Since Dr. Budwig passed away, numerous studies and investigations have been carried out to find new types
of therapies and remedies for cancer, tumors, chronic and degenerative diseases. We carefully analyze each
one and select those that do not conflict with Dr. Johanna Budwigs original concept and approach to cancer.
The Biomagnetic Pair is a technique developed by the Mexican Doctor Isaac Goiz. In this therapy, pairs of
magnets are set in strategic places on the body to modify the pH and treat many diseases caused by viruses,
bacteria, fungus and parasites.
It is a wonderful help to treat a great variety of illnesses in a natural way. This therapy hardly ever causes
negative side-effects. It is easy to apply to achieve amazing results.
Within this therapy there is a section devoted to treat emotions. This is called Psycho-emotional Pair.
According to Eastern Medicine, emotions are vibrations that can be stored in different organs according to
their nature, thus emotions such as sadness and depression can be stuck in the lungs, anger and rage in the
liver and gallbladder, disappointment and bitterness in the pancreas, emotions associated to finances and
the material world can be located in the colon or intestines.
Kinesiology testing
Using a testing technique called Kinesiology (Involuntary Muscle Movement Testing Technique) we can lo-
cate harmful emotions stored in many parts of the body. Once we place the suitable pole of the magnet
www.BudwigCenter.com - www.BudwigCenter.eu - www.BudwigCenter.es
27
in each location on the body, so that we have both positive and negative poles placed in pairs, negative
emotions are removed as vibrations, resulting in a return to balance. After every treatment you feel a great
sensation of lightness and relaxation, just like after having had a great massage. This helps to unblock and
release the trapped emotions. After every session we can only feel peace and wellbeing.
Each negative emotion is like an electromagnetic unbalance expressed by the body with certain micro-elec-
trical emissions, meaning that every negative emotion will cause a physical alteration which will be man-
ifested in organs, glands, tissues and systems. Eventually, our immune system will be weakened, leaving
the body exposed to many infections and even cancer activity. Emotional states such as stress, depression,
anxiety, and others like these are accumulated in the body, changing its biological terrain, making it acidic,
oxidized, causing the adrenal glands to secrete more cortisol and adrenaline, and forcing healthy cells to
change their inner program. All this results in unexpected results for our health.
By treating our trapped emotions, once they are detected and located, we can set them free with this tech-
nique to improve our quality of life, prevent and treat psychosomatic disorders. This technique gives us the
chance to reestablish our balance bio-energetically, by dissolving the emotional blockages, thus positively
affecting the flow of energy. This therapy, when applied regularly, can help to prevent many ailments since
it can treat all different psycho-physical levels, avoiding the activation of genetic predispositions to certain
type of illnesses.
Bio-decoding consists of guiding the patient to identify the negative emotions linked to the symptom or
symptoms of the illness, so as to locate it and decode it. This encourages the patient to free this emotion
and therefore address the root of the disease. When a patient is mentally prepared for this type of self-ex-
amination it becomes easier to understand some of the reasons causing illness and identify the most effec-
tive way to fight it. Some patients do not understand this type of therapy, so our team of specialists will help
them to identify the important link between our thoughts, feelings, and our health.
At the Budwig Center, we use EFT therapy: Emotional Freedom Technique, as well.
Patients visiting our clinic for clinical program treatments can request an EFT session and an hour and a half
session of Par Psycho-Emotional therapy, which is a kinesiology test to treat emotions with magnets. There
One of the advantages of these sessions is that, as well as being treated, you are also given instructions to
be able to follow the treatment in the comfort of your home. This knowledge is a truly valuable tool. And
for patients who request more of these therapies, our psychotherapist is available to provide sessions using
other techniques such as the Test of Great Symbols, which consists in identifying trauma and blockages from
the past with the objective of decoding them.
The mind-body connection: It is indispensable to keep both our body and mind balanced.
Emotional therapy helps to re-balance that connection. Combined with other treatments and therapies,
patients will improve their state of mind, which in turn will directly lead to an improvement in ones health.
Its also important to be aware of sensitive areas or Tapping points. Within EFT, each tapping point relates
to a specific area or organ in the body. Stimulating these centers with the appropriate techniques notably
enhances the immune systems responses as well as the bodys general well-being.
In the book COURAGE AND WISDOM IN A TIME OF NEED (which you receive with your Home or Clinical
program), in the last chapter, EFT is explained in further detail. A link is provided to a web page with MP3
downloads.
You will gain more insight into EFT from top professionals around the world. View EFT as your personal
coach who helps you stay positive and focused during your time of recovery.
The BUDWIG CENTER strongly encourages spending at least 5 minutes (more is better) every day of your life
dwelling on positive thoughts. Following this routine you will start to see a shift in your entire outlook and
overall well-being. There are EFT (Tapping) therapists now in most parts of the world. We would encourage
you to get a session or two in order to understand how it works and feels. Simply search online for EFT
Tapping Therapists in your area. You may find there are several therapists to choose from.
After studying the EFT material and once you have had a session or two you will be ready to continue
the daily routine alone.
The man in the truck yelled and banged on the door but he heard their voices fade as they left him all alone
in the freezer.
The next morning they came and opened the door to the freezer truck and the man was curled up in a ball,
he was dead. The strange thing was, they had turned off the freezer unit and it was warm in the truck.
They could not understand how he died. The conclusion of the police was that the young man thought he
www.BudwigCenter.com - www.BudwigCenter.eu - www.BudwigCenter.es
29
was going to freeze to death and so he did. These thoughts had an incredibly powerful force on his mind.
The lesson is this: your brain leads your body; think positive; think that your body will heal; tell your brain
to heal your body, and it will.
As its been well said, its not always what happens to us that is the most important but how we react to
what happens. We can use the challenge to learn and grow, or we can decide that life is not fair and become
bitter! To a large degree its up to us.
We have all heard the expression You are what you eat. Another truism is: You are what you think. Day
after day your thought patterns will eventually be your manner, your personality and how you come across
to others. Every emotion is preceded by a thought!
When experiencing difficult times, do not give up or give in. Stay positive! Think positive! The brain runs
the body. If we let our brain think negative ideas day after day, then that message will be transmitted to
our body.
Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do
something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I
acquire the ability to do it even if I didnt have it in the beginning - Gandhi
We need to control what we think. When we control our thoughts we have achieved the highest level of
emotional maturity. It is neither wise nor healthy to let our minds run wild thinking whatever it wants
for as long as it wants like some spoiled, undisciplined child! So chase away those negative thoughts and
replace them with positive ones.

Every patient that enrolls in one of Home Distance or Clinical programs will re-
ceive the Budwig EFT Guide, which also includes MP3 downloads and course
instructions.
Hyperthermia therapy is a treatment whereby an artificial fever is induced into the body or to the area to
be treated.
The tumor cells are intolerant to high temperatures, so the hyperthermia treatment elevates the bodys
temperature to around 43C, thus blocking the harmful cells and potentially destroying them altogether.
In speeding up the metabolism, fever suppresses the spreading of the viral or bacterial invasion. Hyperther-
mia is a therapeutic procedure that raises the cancerous tumors temperature to at least 42.20 C (108F) for
one hour. Cancerous cells are blocked and killed at 42.2C (108 F) without damaging healthy cells. There
are several other methods to induce a rise in body temperature: total immersion in hot water, ultrasound,
and sauna, to name a few. Hyperthermia combined with low doses of radiation is an effective treatment for
many types of Cancer. Another very positive aspect of Hyperthermia is the lack of side-effects.
Benefits of hyperthermia:
Removing accumulated toxic chemicals that may cause cancer or other crit-
ical illness.
Improving blood circulation, so that tissues are better oxygenated and there-
fore aiding elimination of acid waste.
Weakening or even killing cancerous cells, due to their heat intolerance.
The bodys ability to respond to this type of stimuli also allows the therapist to establish which treatments
or remedies would have the most positive effect.
Like GSR, the VEGA test also works on the basis of Electroacupuncture accord-
ing to Voll (EAV). It is a diagnostic method based on bioimpedance. By mea-
suring the bodys reaction to various types of stimuli, the VEGA Test identifies
local inflammation points, strained organs or interference fields linked to dental
problems, recognizes interdependencies between organs and analyses the in-
fluence of viruses, bacteria or toxins.
Many plants have characteristics, substances or extracts suitable for treating different illnesses like cancer,
tumors and other major diseases. Pharmacology also employs active ingredients from plants, but in most
cases, instead of using them in their natural state, they are synthesized and later combined with other sub-
stances.
The Five Elements in Chinese medicine, which are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
and Wood when out of balance cause a host of health issues. Selected herbs
will balance these 5 elements.
The VEGA test is best combined with standard medical tumor marker tests (PET scans, blood tests, etc.).
The BUDWIG CENTER places great emphasis on the need to detoxify the body and remove the accumulation
of potentially carcinogenic and damaging heavy metals like lead, mercury, zinc, nickel, cadmium, as well as
alcohol, nicotine, sodium, suluric acid, copper, aluminum, pesticide residues, petroleum-based toxins, chlo-
rides, fluoride, fats and cholesterol.
We recommend this therapy because the storage of decaying fecal matter, toxins and other organic waste in
our body can contribute to different types of disease.
This therapy is not recommended if any of the following applies in your case:
Recent surgery to the large intestine or rectum
Diverticulosis
Pregnancy of 3 months or more
Anal fissures and fistulas
Intestinal bleeding or ulcers
Abdominal hernia
Serious heart disease or high blood pressure
Kidney failure
For any further enquiries relating to this therapy, please do not hesitate to contact our specialists who will
be happy to answer your questions.
This therapy involves stimulating and applying pressure to selected points on the feet, which are believed
to be reflective of the main organs. Zones and reflex areas relevant to each patient are targeted in order
to re-establish and normalize bodily functions. A profound state of relaxation ensues, activating bodily pro-
cesses and defense mechanisms.
During your 1-2 week stay at the clinic, you will receive instructions on how to administer your own reflex-
ology session in the areas corresponding to the affected organs. Your companion can also watch the demo
if she or he is willing to apply the technique.
You will also receive Lemongrass essential oil (to be diluted and mixed with a cold pressed oil such as sun-
flower, olive or extra virgin coconut oil; the ratio would be: 20% lemongrass, 80% carrier oil).
Lemongrass essential oil is known for its stress and anxiety relieving properties as well as for its effective-
ness in treating insomnia and other common ailments such as headaches and stomach aches. It is therefore
highly recommended for a full body massage and in this case, reflexology.
ESSENTIAL OILS
For essential oils to retain their highest quality, the plant must be steam distilled with water, and no chemi-
cal products must be used in the process.
Depending on each plant, they must also comply with specific norms, such as temperature, pressure and
distillation time, in order to guarantee a complete essential oil.
It is largely thanks to essential oils that virus, bacteria, fungus and parasites cannot live and reproduce.
Essential oils are more potent than some herbs and food, which is why they are so important in our an-
ti-Cancer program. Its also important to vary the essential oils on a weekly basis so that the evolving ab-
normal cells dont become resistant to the specific characteristics of a particular essential oil, making it less
effective. At the Budwig Center, we have prepared 4 different formulas under rigorous investigation. These
are prepared in optimum proportions to obtain the best results. Each formula is to be taken for one week.
AHCC
AHCC is especially recommended for chemotherapy patients, and is to be included in the daily diet. Che-
motherapy is very aggressive for the body and among other effects, significantly runs down the immune
system.
AHCC is an immune stimulant nutritional supplement used worldwide, with very positive results.
This compound is not made from regular mushrooms found under normal conditions. AHCC is made in a
laboratory in Sapporo, Japan. Its a hybrid of the Shiitake and other medicinal mushrooms known for their
great health benefits. The effectiveness of this new compound has been proven both on its own and in
conjunction with other therapies. Another important AHCC feature is that it does not present side effects.
Astragalus membranaceous is another natural product recommended by the Budwig Center, suitable for
patients going through chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This natural supplement is outstanding for the
following reasons:
Stimulates the immune system.
Benefits liver function. It can also be used on Hepatitis patients
CHLOROPHYLL
When the red blood cell count is low or there is a shortage of healthy red blood cells, we are at risk of
developing anemia. To help create new red blood cells and improve blood oxygenation, take a glass of
liquid Chlorophyll every day. Red blood cells will increase in a few days. Combine with eating chard, broc-
One of the most interesting aspects of chlorophyll is how closely it resembles our blood, more specifically,
our hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in our red blood cells that carries oxygen from our lungs to dif-
ferent parts or our body. A Budwig Center patient in need of an operation was told by the doctors that her
red blood cell count was too low to be able to operate. She drank glass of chlorophyll each day and in
three days she was back to normal and the operation went ahead. The hemoglobin in our red blood cells
and the chlorophyll in plants are virtually identical in molecular structure.
Photosynthesis is the process that converts solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide into our main fuel
source: glucose. All animals, human beings, and plant life obtain their supply of energy through photo-
synthesis.
Certain drugs can be given (your doctor can recommend which ones would be recommendable in your
case). For example Epoetin stimulates red blood cell production, Thrombopoietin stimulates platelet pro-
duction, and G-CSF stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes (white blood cells) and stem cells.
On the other hand, hemostatic agents can be given to control minor bleeding. You may also want to look
into stem cell transplant to replenish healthy cells destroyed by chemotherapy.
Vitamin deficiency and anemia: In addition to iron, your body needs folate (folic acid) and vitamin B-12 to
produce enough healthy red blood cells. A diet lacking in these and other key nutrients can cause decreased
red blood cell production. Bee Pollen is rich in B vitamins.
GINGER
Ginger enables and improves blood circulation. That is why it is great for the cardiovascular system. It can
prevent heart attacks, angina, and other heart conditions. It has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammato-
ry properties. It improves the digestive system, (preventing ulcers and gastritis, improving intestinal flora,
eliminating harmful microbes), is effective against dizziness, morning sickness, and can reduce the risk of
atherosclerosis.
Ginger is an excellent source of carbohydrates and is rich in fiber. It contains protein (albeit in small quan-
tities), minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6 and E, among
others). Ginger is one of the healthiest foods in the world, and can be consumed freshly grated, dried, or
in tea.
Bee pollen contains large amounts of minerals, vitamins, protein and carbohydrates, and contains all the
necessary ingredients for a balanced diet. This perfect food contains twenty-two nutrients needed by the
human body, including all the Vitamin B complexes, vitamin C, D, E, K, and Beta Carotene (vitamin A), as well
as several minerals, enzymes and coenzymes, plant-derived fatty acids, and amino acids.
Bee pollen is the richest source of vitamins to be found in nature. Its high content of Rutin, a flavonoid com-
plex, gives it a vasodilating and anti-inflammatory effect.
1 tablespoon/day is the recommended amount. You may wish to add it to the cottage cheese/quark and
flaxseed oil mix or to a milkshake.
Not recommended for patients or people allergic to pollen or with seasonal al-
lergies, as it may cause severe anaphylactic reactions Not recommended either
for patients with kidney failure. Consult your doctor, specialist or call us and we
will assess your case and guide you through the best choice for your situation.
Artemisia annua (also called sweet wormwood) belongs to the Asteraceae plant family, which has over
23,000 species. Artemisia annua is a natural plant found in several parts of the world, including China. It con-
tains a component called artemisinin, which has been used for many years in China to control high fever and
malaria. While there are specific strains of malaria that have developed immunity to artemisinin, it is also
true that combining it with other elements is still one of the most effective treatments against this illness.
On the other hand, there are several lines of investigation that show artemisinin to be an effective cancer
treatment. We have included artemisinin as part of our natural treatment for cancer.
What precautions should be taken when ingesting artemisinin and how to take
it?
1. Not recommended on its own. In order for the body to absorb it properly, mix
it with oils rich in Omega3 (flaxseed oil with cottage cheese/quark mix). Mix
4 drops of artemisinin with the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese/quark mix.
2. Take care when choosing a product with artemisinin, because not all of them
have been tested and approved.
3. Artemisinin should not be taken during chemotherapy or radiotherapy treat-
ment. Wait 30 days after finishing the treatment.
4. Not suitable for pregnant women in the first trimester.
5. Consult your doctor or specialist if you have any type of allergy to this kind of
substance.
The instructions how to take Artemisinin come with every order, along with the daily dosage
and other recommendations.
Turmeric may well be the most important plants for our health. Within the cancer field, it is renowned for its
beneficial properties. The Budwig Center relies on a formula that has harnessed the properties of Turmeric,
with outstanding results.
Most turmeric (curcuma) is not easily absorbed by the body. The Budwig Center uses a formula, which is a
mix of concentrated turmeric and pure mineral water. The water and turmeric are vortexed (spun) together,
producing a highly absorbable remedy.
Bras are a personal item used daily by women and have evolved over time. Many gynecologists recommend
the use of wireless bras. Why? The pressure that underwired bras put on the breast and the lymph nodes
can provoke bumps and mastopathy, which could develop over time into breast cancer.
A tight under-wired bra may press on various lymph nodes and block the lymphatic system. As a result, tox-
ins cannot be eliminated naturally through lymphatic drainage.
Over time, this can cause accumulation in the breasts, leading to the formation of cysts, fibrous nodules or
cancerous tumors. Due to all of the above, we recommend the use of wireless bras. Use sports bras and,
when possible, limit wearing bras all together.
Most of us use personal hygiene products and cosmetics on a daily basis: soap, toothpaste, shampoo, body
lotion, shower gel, shaving cream, deodorant, and so on.
Knowing that our skin is the largest organ of the body and that it absorbs whatever we apply on it, our aim
should be to use natural products. We may not be in the habit of reading the ingredients on our cosmetics
and personal hygiene products, but it is highly recommended we do so, just as we do with food. Here is a
short list of some non-desirable ingredients that we should try to avoid:
Alcohol, as in isopropyl alcohol (common in toning and shaving creams)
At the Budwig Center, we recommend that you find natural, hand-made products, with ingredients you
are familiar with or made by companies who are environmentally friendly. We have no affiliation with any
company that sells natural beauty products; however, you will receive more information with our Home
Distance and Clinical programs.
An easy and effective addition to our daily routine for fighting dis-
ease and increasing energy levels is to take lemon juice with so-
dium bicarbonate. Athletes use sodium bicarbonate to gain more
energy at sporting events.
Our saliva pH levels should normally be between 7.0 and 7.4 before drinking anything. Our urine is slightly
more acidic in the morning because our bodies have been cleaning out the acids throughout the night.
Therefore, you may get a urine pH level reading between 6.0 and 7.0, but it will improve drastically after
drinking the sodium bicarbonate and lemon beverage for a few days. An ideal urine pH reading is between
7.0 and 7.2.
Instructions: in a bottle that holds 1 liter of water put the juice of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoon of sodium bicar-
bonate. Then fill the bottle with water and leave overnight. Drink 1 glass first thing in the morning on an
empty stomach. The liter will last 4 mornings.
A nice warm or hot sea salt bath not only makes you
feel good but brings a multitude of health benefits.
Sea salts, when combined with warm water, help open up the pores which can also help treat certain skin
conditions such as psoriasis.
Bathing in salt water effectively eliminates toxins, relaxes and rejuvenates the skin, while balancing the
bodys energies. The sodium, contained in sea water helps the body remove toxins and by-products of me-
tabolism through the lymph system.
This is important because it helps eliminate fluid that is trapped in the ankles, thighs, and knees.
Tumors produce a harmful type of lactate called racemate that negatively affects the pH value of the body.
This causes almost all cancer patients to have an extremely acidic pH value and that is a perfect environment
for cancer to survive. We need to restore the neutral pH value of the body. Sauerkraut juice is excellent
for promoting that as well as baking soda baths. These two together will apparently remove about 85% or
more of the harmful lactate from the cancer patients body. Both salt water baths as well as baking soda
baths improve the bodys alkalization.
Our bodies consist of over 70% water and the brain is 90% water. So it is vital to drink healthy, pure water.
In the industrialized world of today, aqua vivens (living, energetically charged water) is a rarity. In our drink-
ing water supply systems, water is exposed to the detrimental energetic effects of straight unnatural water
pipes, high mains pressures and chemical treatments. Water is not allowed to move in its naturally winding
way, thereby causing loss of life force.
Independent tests carried out by the Bio field Laboratory in Vienna have shown that the physical properties,
the pH and conductivity of water change in a subtle way with energization. In some tests, the pH of acidic
This is particularly evident in shellfish, snails, antelope horns, pine cones and climbing plants such as clem-
atis and ivy.
In a more subtle way, all plants grow in a spiraling fashion, always turning to face the sun. The DNA of all
organisms forms a double helix spiral.
Cancer has been developing over some time due to some disturbance in the energy fields of the body. The
news of this diagnose can be so impacting that many have expressed it causing depressive states. So please
dont lose hope! People are winning the battle over cancer every day and especially using the tools outlined
in this Guide, so you can too!
I highly recommend you try not to walk this road of recovery alone. Finding people to be there for you, sup-
porting and encouraging you through the good days and bad is very important. I warmly encourage you to
take 20 minutes of quiet time every day to read and meditate empowerment statements.
As I emphasize to my patients that come to the Budwig Cancer Center, forgiveness and counting your bless-
ings are two of the most important emotional states you need to stay strong. Forgive absolutely everyone
that has disappointed you at some time in your life because holding a grudge is too heavy for you to carry
and especially at this moment in your life.
Remember that Dr. Budwig warned that any modification or addition to the program could compromise the
end result. There are many Centers and Clinics that use only some of the Dr. Budwig approach, such as the
flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture; however, they use other therapies and remedies that could nullify
the benefits of this formula.
The Budwig Center was directly authorized by Dr. Johanna Budwig in August 2000 to use her program. We
are careful to adhere to the original Budwig protocol and that is why we have witnessed very good results
with all types of cancers, as Dr. Budwig did.
At the Budwig Center, we aim to get to the true cause of the disease and
do whatever possible to help the body overcome that cause. Once the four
(4) main causes of cancer are professionally dealt with using our program,
the body can then effectively heal itself. All our patients receive newsletters
and permanent support. Regular VEGA /GSR tests allow us to supervise your
progress and offer more help. This test, as you probably know, can be per-
formed at the clinic or from your home.
In conclusion I would like to say that we believe we have one of the best,
most comprehensive programs available at the moment, with an endless list
of testimonials that are evidence of the success of the Budwig approach. I
sincerely wish that by you adopting these tools from this book you will add
years to your life and also life to your years.
