Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Major Discovery

In 1952, Dr. Budwig wrote in a paper entitled On Fat Biology V. Paper Chromatography of Blood Lipoids, the Tumour Problem and Fat Research: "It is basically proven that highly unsaturated fatty acids are the heretofore undiscovered decisive factor in respiratory enzyme function", i.e. constitute the second part of the "equation" that nobelist Otto Warburg* had been unable to find. What sounds insignificant to the layman’s ears, is arguably one of the greatest breakthroughs in medicinal science: from that moment onward we have known that the highly unsaturated fatty acid is the decisive factor achieving the desired effect of cellular respiratory stimulation. Working in conjunction with sulfurated amino acids (protein), the highly unsaturated fatty acid plays a part, even the critical part, in the "bridging" taking place between fats and protein, in the absorption AND utilization of oxygen, in all growth processes, in the formation of blood and in many other processes. Working from this theory, Dr. Budwig was able to help a great many cancer patients with the scientific oil-protein diet of flaxoil plus cottage cheese she designed (the "Budwig diet"), which allows cancer cells to start "breathing" again. A few physicians followed in her footsteps, such as Dr. Dan C. Roehm from Florida or Dr. Robert E. Willner (Miami).

When you mix together ... cottage cheese and linseed oil in your blender the fat becomes water-soluble" and thereby immediately available for use by the body. In this manner, the necessary "spark plugs" are provided for cells to "breathe", optimally detoxify and function, even more so when additionally combining the flax oil cottage cheese mix with an optimised sugar-free diet devoid of respiratory poisons [substances which inhibit cellular respiration] but containing much raw organic food (compare excerpts from Dr. Budwig’s Flax Oil As A True Aid and Nutrition page).

Preparation of the Budwig diet flaxseed oil plus cottage cheese/quark mix

This is how the Budwig diet mix is prepared: for each tablespoon of flaxseed oil, add 2 tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese (or quark). The flaxoil/cottage cheese (quark) mixture should be fully blended until no traces of oil remain visible, proving that the highly unsaturated fatty acids have become water soluble (a hand-held mixer or a blender works well when you add some milk as suggested by Dr. Budwig).
For those who like to go into even more detail: using a measuring tablespoons of 15 ml, the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese (or quark) ratio is about 1:2 by volume (going by weight, the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese [or quark] ratio is about 1:2.4). It seems preferable to rather use a bit more cottage cheese (or quark) than too little. Dr. Budwig used 42 g flaxseed oil (3 tblsp) mixed with 100 g quark in her breakfast muesli, a central part of her diet.

Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Quark-Flaxoil Linomel Breakfast Muesli Recipe

Standard ingredients:

• 3 tblsp flaxseed oil
• 2 to 3 tblsp raw milk
• 100 gr (6 tblsp) quark or cottage cheese
• 2 tblsp Linomel (or 4 tblsp freshly ground flaxseeds)
• 1 tsp honey
• fruits and fruit juices
• nuts (except peanuts)
• natural flavours

Put 2 tblsp of Linomel (or 4 tblsp freshly ground flaxseeds) in a small bowl. Cover with raw fruit according to season. Prepare the quark-flax oil mix in the following manner:
Put flax oil, milk and honey into the blender, mix and gradually add the quark or cottage cheese in small portions. Blend until you have a smooth and well homogenised mix. No oil must be visible. Add more milk if necessary. Change the flavour every day by adding nuts, vanilla, cinnamon, various fruits such as banana, berries, cocoa, grated coconut, fruit juices (these must be added last). Use grated apple and dried fruit such as raisins and dried apricots soaked in fruit juice in winter.
Cover the flaxseed and raw fruit layers with the flax oil/quark (cottage cheese) mix and optionally garnish with fruits and nuts.

Dr. Budwig restates these warnings in a somewhat different and less sweeping and ominous phrasing in the final sentences* of her last book Cancer - The Problem and The Solution where she writes: “I will add here a few sentences by American doctor Jan Roehm who studied and applied my therapy in great detail and who writes: ‘... You should follow this diet for about 5 years. By that time, your tumor should have completely disappeared. Persons who stop the diet too early (by eating meat and sweets) sometimes see their health rapidly deteriorate and cannot be saved after such a bodily torture.’”

Did Dr. Budwig specify a maintenance dose after remission has been achieved?

In contrast to what can be read in various places on the internet, Dr. Budwig seems to never have mentioned (judging by the 14 books of hers that I have) that once a terminal illness has been brought under control or into remission, one may reduce the daily amount of flax oil ingested by going on a maintenance dose of one tablespoon per hundred lbs. of body weight. In fact in light of the above excerpts this might be considered less-than-safe advice to give. Michael of oel-eiweiss-kost.de for instance feels that personally, he would at least stick to one portion of flaxoil/cottage cheese (or quark) creme per day (either in the form of the breakfast muesli, dessert, or salad sauce) which corresponds to 3 tablespoons.
