Budwig protocol?
Comments
-
I've heard of and seen several people who managed to keep the disease at bay. I think the key is commitment and persistency. It is easy to do the right thing half of the time, what is SO hard and what I battle all the time is doing it all the time...
The man with stage 4 cancer who didn't do any treatments were described as very determined and with strong willpower by his Family in the program. He did the budwig, ate raw garlic and Salad for lunch and avoided sugar and flour. When he did the program he had survived 5 years and doctors had given him few months at the time of diagnosis...

Well, the Brain MRI showed a brain lesion less than 1 cm in size which really bites! The HCG test was correct in that it was elevated to 54 on my last urine test. Although the rest of me is fine, my brain is not fine yet. I am ramping up the juicing and switching to 100% raw vegan. I let myself slip on my diet and for that I am ashamed. My husband reminded me that we don't stop running when the we get ahead of the Lion that is chasing us, we only slow down when we are no longer being chased! So true!
I am meeting with the neuro-oncologists or whatever they are called for tx options. You can't mess around too much when its the brain.
-
scando... Oh no... I'm really sorry to hear that. F**^ing cancer.
In my opinion it sounds like you have been very committed to the diet changes so please don't feel ashamed. You have done an enormous job. Well if this is what helps you staying motivated fine, I just wanted to say that.
Hope your meeting about treatment plans went well. Best of luck with everything. -
Thank you very much!
I am going through a detox period again being all raw vegan now LOL!! After some feverish research, I have added Aloe Arborescens to my protocol and will be adding Cesium Chloride next.
I have a feeling the brain tumor was already in my head for a some time and is very slow growing based on the results from the Navarro Urine Tests that were coming back and showing a very slow but definite upward trend. Apparently, I should have taken that as the sign to add a stronger protocol to my regimen.
I really don't want to do the Radiation treatment I know they are going to want me to do. I don't feel comfortable with it really. I am going to interrogate the docs about SEs. If there are any that will affect me then I would rather wait and give the Alternative route a fair shake first. What to do! What to do!
-
Scandophile, I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about the brain lesion. But it sounds like you have some tricks up your sleeve! I'm glad you have your husband there to help you run from the lion, and I'm hoping you'll get far ahead of it soon.
-
@Scandophile, because this is the alternative forum, I am not going to say anything about cesium except to urge you if you do decide to go ahead, to be monitored by a competent medical person (MD, ND or whoever) to make sure you keep your dose/level of cesium in your body and ratio to other minerals, particularly potassium, in the safe range and to be warned in good time if you are developing a dangerous side effect so you can adjust your treatment.
-
scando I really really hope that your new "regimen" helps.
I always try to think it's just as important what I don't do. And finding time for meditation is sometimes really hard but is just as (more?) important as the rest. -
@Curveball - I totally agree with you about working with someone with Cesium Chlorida. I have decided to hold off on that right now.
@New Direction - Thank you so much and you are right, meditation time took a back burner for a while and its back to where it needs to be now.
I met with the Docs yesterday and they are VERY optimistic that this will be a quick fix. They will do a much higher resolution MRI before treatment to see if there is anything else to look at as sometimes in 25% of cases, other mets appear that don't show up on a regular MRI. They will address those pretty much the same way - with sterotactic radiation.
I grilled them about SEs and they said, that there will be some swelling at the site as the tumor dies and perhaps a chance of a bald spot.
Having been on 100% since last Wednedsay, I am feeling very well. I've lost a little weight so I think I need to eat more avacados and nuts. Even with all the oil in the Budwig Smoothie, it doesn't put any weight on me at all. I love my smoothie and I am not giving it up, I still feel its been working in the rest of my body. I guess the Blood Brain Barrier is a tough cookie - But Not Impossible!
-
Glad you are feeling well, Scandophile! I know from someone who had them that stereotactic radiation treatments for brain mets can be very effective (they got rid of her brain mets). Keep up the good work with your diet and meditation! I'm sending you good wishes.

hi Kat. Just went to your site and read blogs. Congrats! Where can I procure this elixir?
-
Here is the problem. Even if this therapy only worked once, You will hear about that one time repeated over a million times. But you really wont hear about all the times it didn't work. If you look at the data, there is none. This is not any different then if someone made up the entire treatment in the basement and told you it would cure cancer. The only thing that has been studied and has data is flaxseed. It shows some benefits. But clearly not has much as the budwig diet claims. To put your life on a claim that can't be verified in any way? Do you really feel comfortable doing that? It would be really nice if it did work the way they claim. But I just don't think the world is that good.
I tried finding any information I could on the budwig diet. Clinical trials, case studies, anything. All I find is people praising how good it is with no proof. I only found one site like always that says it how it is. The truth with no sugar coating. Here's the link. Tell me you still want to treat your cancer with the budwig diet after reading that.?????

I totally agree.
-
then there's the gerson therapy. charlotte gerson says their mexican hospital gets mostly patients in terminal condition. she says they have a thirty percent cure rate with them if they havn't had chemotherapy
-
Abigail, it would be interesting to know how Charlotte Gerson defines "cured," and what data she has to back that claim.
-
yes I agree. I watched several hours of her videos, it was only at the very end of one that she mentioned in passing the remark about the terminal cases and the 30 percent. she;s alive now at I think 94 which says a lot for the diet her father proposed, she said once never any any salt,( or the popularity of the hospital.)
-
Living to 94 apparently has more to do with genes than with sodium. My grandpa lived to 89, and he smoked and drank (and ate plenty of sodium). He mainly died because he got bored. His sisters all lived well into their 90s. My uncle was just telling us at dinner yesterday about a friend of his who is 99, and chain smokes. But as they say, data is not the plural of anecdote.

Happy to see this thread revived.
Leia, here. I'm STILL on the Budwig FOCC, now on my 7th year. And I feel great. I have not had any mammograms in the past 7 years (I am now 61, 62 in October) but I do self breast exams. My breasts are great.
To "doubters," above I don't need "scientific" proof, to do something. If I do something and it makes me feel great, I will continue to do it. And I continue to maintain my D3 level at 89, I wish it was higher.
And I've added another arm, to my arsenal; coconut oil. I put 2 TBSP a day into my FOCC/Berry Smoothie. I've lost 20 pounds in the last year. I'm now down to 118 pounds, perfect for my 5'3" frame. Unhealthy Omega 6 fats make you fat; healthy fats, like coconut oil make you thin. I'm living proof.
And my other health-inducing strategy? Oil Pulling. Most infections come through your mouth. The oil pulling kills them. Again, I use coconut oil. 20 minutes/day.
Everything, breast cancer, disease, it is ALL about building up your immune system. Our bodies WILL fight off anything, if we give them the tools they need.
That is my goal.
