Budwig Diet For Cancer

I’m not sure what would qualify as a personal holistic approach, but I want to write about what I have seen this diet do because to me it has shown miraculous results for my friend who has cancer.

Not uncommonly, my friend was misdiagnosed a few years back. What was diagnosed as a cyst on the left side of his neck was in actuality cancer. When it grew larger, he was then tested and it had become an inoperable tumor because it was now in his jugular vein. The only advice he and his wife were given was for him to have the standardized chemotherapy and radiation treatments. For weeks he endured these treatments and I watched that man go from a robust person to a skeleton of a man who could no longer swallow because the radiation had destroyed his esophagus.

Because of all the medication that he was taking his mental state changed, too. He was no longer the person we all knew. The day came when he was tested and all that remained of the cancer was what the doctor’s called a little “puddle” of it. It was now operable. He went through the operation and later was declared cancer free. It was not to last and the worst part was that he permanently had a stomach tube placed until perhaps some day he could swallow again.

Last year his wife asked if I was ready for a big disappointment. The cancer was back. They opted for no more radiation and his wife spent hour after hour pouring over alternative medicine. She found the Budwig diet. This diet consists of a lot of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese, fruits, juices, vegetables. No more of those drinks that are suppose to supply you with everything you need. All medication except pain reliever was stopped. Because he could not swallow, a juicer was used and whatever drink was used through his stomach tube was then flushed with water. Slowly my dear friend put on weight and his former self came back. He looked marvelous despite still having cancer. His wife found more and more natural foods that were beneficial to him including turkey mushroom.

His cancer is now at a standstill and the doctor is amazed. When he was diagnosed again with cancer last year, he was given six months to live. It has been over a year and to look at him and see him be his former self again, I find it a miracle. Someday we will lose this wonderful man, but I have become a firm believer in alternative medicine. He can live his life to the fullest. Thank you, Dr. Johanna Budwig for your research.
