Below are Guidelines in brief of the Budwig Diet – you don’t have to consume all the foods on this list. Membership to Budwig-videos.com gives you videos or articles in detail about each item below. This information is from Dr. Budwig’s books.

1. 1st thing in AM–Sauerkraut Juice, preferably raw & homemade [We have a video on our site showing how to make it] . Raw unheated kraut has enzymes, probiotics and vitamins which help the digestive system metabolize foods & improve immunity. Most sauerkraut sold in stores is pasteurized [heated] and nutrients are damaged. It won’t help as much.

2. Just before breakfast– green or herbal tea

3. Breakfast–3 Tbs. Flax Oil & 6 Tbs. Quark or Cottage Cheese+ 3 Tbs. milk if needed for thinning, well blended. After blending, add 2 Tbsp flax seeds, freshly ground, add fresh fruit, fruit juice, raw nuts, 1 tsp raw honey. Afterward, if hungry, choose whole grain bread, raw vegetables, & an oz of quality cheese: Edam, Gouda, Emmentaler, Sbrinz or Camembert.

4. Mid-morning – Homemade Vegetable Juice (carrots, beets w/lemon or apple, or greens) . Homemade carrot or beet juices are very important cancer-fighters.

5. Before Lunch – Champagne or sparkling wine with 1 Tbs of flaxseeds[freshly ground] OR ground flax seeds in small glass of fruit juice. The champagne helps with absorption of the seeds.

6. SUNBATHING outside 10 to 20 minutes around noon [weather permitting] without sun lotion or glasses, expose as much skin as possible. Avoid washing with soap after sunbathing. Give the vitamin D time to be made and absorbed[24-48 hours]

7. Lunch – raw vegetable salad or vegetable plate + Budwig dressing. If still hungry, boiled or steamed veggies, grains and beans, lentils, or potatoes. [If a member of this site, see “DINNER” in the Menu for over 25 recipes]

8. Lunch Dessert – It’s important to have a 2nd serving of 3 Tbs. Flax Oil & 6 Tbs. Quark or Cottage Cheese with a little milk, well blended. Add raw fruit, fruit juice, raw nuts, raw honey and/or other flavors you like.

9. Mid-afternoon – 1 Tbs. whole flaxseeds, freshly ground & added to 3 to 8 oz of pure fruit juice, homemade or store bought.

10. STRESS REDUCTION/RELAXATION PRACTICE — Meditation to relax the mind, EFT to change thinking, & other techniques that reduce stress as shown on the Budwig-Videos website for those who join. [EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique]. Chronic stress can be very damaging. [We have a video for relaxation methods for members of this site.]

11. Late afternoon – Papaya or pineapple juice, 3 to 8 oz, with 1 Tbs. whole flaxseeds, freshly ground.

12. Dinner – Cooked grains and nutritional yeast flakes such as Red Mill Nutritional Yeast with B12 or grains with vegetables w/oleolux, nutritional yeast flakes & spices. Vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, & cabbage add cancer-fighting nutrition. Grains suggested by Dr. Budwig: brown rice, buckwheat, millet and oats. Dine early.

13. Evening – 1 glass Red Wine [optional]. Go to sleep early – before 10pm if possible.

14. AVOID chemicals, preservatives, damaging fats, meats/poultry/eggs/fish, sugar, sugar substitutes, highly processed foods, most supplements, ozone treatments, dental infections and wean off drugs if possible [under doctor’s care]

15. Most people do not need ELDI oils, which Dr. Budwig created mainly for patients who are too weak to eat. These oils are sold in Germany. They are rubbed on the skin or used as an enema if needed. [Some people make a version of ELDI oil at home by mixing 75% flax oil with 25% wheat germ oil to help preserve it. ]

I've been wondering if organic high protein greek yogurt would be a good substitute for quark?  I dont really like cottage cheese, it seems very salty to me.  I thoughy that the probiotics in greek yogurt, such as Nancy's or Strauss brand might be a better substitute that non-organic cottage cheese?  There is a dairy farm that produces quark here in the US, but it is not organic and has preservatives in it.  They market it as quark,but im not sure if it really is made like traditional quark?  Is high quality, organic,  high protein (13 grams), greek yogurt a good substitute for quark?

Hi Simone 

It seems like the ingredients are the same as German Quark, and it has the same protein content,  so I would say yes,  it would be a good substitute.

 Hi Doug

Your's is a difficult question to answer as I don't believe Dr. Budwig ever wrote about substituting goat's milk for cow's milk.
I have researched other reputable sites and books for a definitive answer and all I can find is that if one struggles to digest cow's milk then goat's milk quark is the best alternative for the mixture.
This is what has been suggested by Sandra in this group, when this subject has been discussed.
This link is useful,  also covering the original question regarding Greek yoghurt:

Hello,
Is it possible to take in these quantities of flaxseed and oil daily without upsetting the digestive system? It seems excessive to function daily.
