Greetings,
I’ve been doing the Budwig Protocol for prevention since 2009, soon after I was told that
I tested positive for the BRCA2 cancer mutation, which I inherited from my father. He and many
members of his family died of cancer, the youngest at age 42 from brain cancer and several of
prostate, pancreatic and liver cancers. My dad had breast cancer at age 59, but had it removed, never
had treatment and never had a recurrence. Twelve years later he was diagnosed with prostate cancer,
not an aggressive case, but he chose radiation treatments. Nine months later he had 4 separate new
cancers, including lymphoma, undoubtedly caused by the radiation and he died shortly after he started chemotherapy.
Not surprising since people with this mutation have difficulty repairing DNA breaks caused by ionizing
radiation because they only have one allele. It’s a tumor suppressor gene.
I was 57 at the time and the doctor recommended double mastectomy and removal of my ovaries. After
doing some research, I decided against it and never went back to that doctor. I told my son, who was in
college in Massachusetts, and he said “Mom, my friend told me that his professor told the class about
a researcher named Joanna Budwig who helped people heal from cancer. He told the students that if people
followed her diet, far fewer people would get cancer. Look her up, Mom.” And that’s how I found the Budwig
protocol. What is the probability that my son would hear about Budwig about the same time I received
the news of my cancer mutation? To me it was a “higher power” experience!
I’ve been eating the muesli with 1 tablespoon of flax oil
since 2009, but during the past few years I have increased it to 2 or 3 tablespoons and been stricter about
the diet and the rest of the protocol. That’s a struggle because I have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth )
and I have to stay on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (no potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, dairy and no fruit or vegetables that
are not monosaccharides). I can have quark, but I have to culture it 24 hours in a yogurt maker so the good bacteria consume all
of the sugars in the milk.
Thank you Sandra for all you do and thank you all for sharing your wisdom and support. I hope this message reaches the
group because the technology is new to me.

Thank you for sharing your story, Marilyn. It gives additional hope and motivation to others. It is good that scholars are promoting alternatives rather than defaulting to the pharma narrative. I think they are few tho.
Continued healing, Rod in MN/USA

Just think how much money the medical industrial complex has made off your family, and you refused, did something simpler, less costly and did not allow yourself to the indifferent whims of butchery and mutilation.

Yes, gsixtysix, I think non compliant must be stamped on my medical records!

Thanks, Rod. There is a new book out called Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer. By Paul E. Marik MD. There is one chapter on omega 3 fatty acids, however only citing conventional medical studies, usually as a supplement to chemotherapy and always fish oil. The cancer-industrial complex is powerful and pharmaceutical companies fund the research, so the Budwig Protocol probably won’t be studied.

How do you culture it in the yogurt maker? Do you start with cottage cheese or with quark? I’m wondering if the cottage cheese is causing me issues.

I’m so sorry .I don’t understand how to culturequark( cottage cheeses) in a yogurt maker. I might like to try that !

Unfortunately you are correct. There is no money to be made by promoting a protocol that is entirely made up of food that you can buy in any store. It would take a person with several million $$$ of disposable income that didn't expect anything in return to take on Budwig as a study.
There are people piggybacking off of Budwig with snake oil such as "capsules" that are supposedly JuSt As GoOd. And the worst part is some people believe them. I have corrected many people who suggest those pills on fb cancer sites.
All we can do is preach the gospel according to Johanna and hope people listen.

Buffalo-check,
I use a packet of mesophilic culture that is used to make cheese. There are many on Amazon. I heat a gallon of 2% milk to 86 degrees F. Then let it cool. I put it into 2 half gallon yogurt makers, add the starter packet and stir. Turn it on and wait 24 hours. That is important because if you culture shorter than that it will still have the milk sugar in it. Then strain it through cheese cloth to remove the whey and you have quark. I cannot digest cottage cheese, so this works for me.
Another method is to find cultured buttermilk that has live cultures and no fillers. Pour 2 quarts of cold buttermilk (don’t heat) into yogurt maker, turn on and let it culture 24 hours, strain out whey and you have quark.
If I don’t have time to make it or I run out, I buy farmers cheese (dry curd cottage cheese) which is basically quark cheese. But homemade is better.

Congratulations on a good decision. It amazes me how traditional medicine is always so anxious to remove things from your body. When I had melanoma in 1995, it was very early stage, and the doc referred me to a surgeon rather than a dermatologist. Big mistake. The surgeon noticed my lymph nodes were swollen and said I needed to have my lymph nodes removed on the left side. Yes, they don't take them all now, but they did for mine. As my surgery site would not stop draining until I took an antihistamine, I realized it was all only allergy. So now as a result, I struggle with breast cancer in my left breast. My right breast gets the healthiest rating according to my thermograms. It amazes me how docs think we have disposable parts. I've long since learned to say no to things, but too late for that.

Cut, burn, poison, the "medical" answer to cancer is barbaric and downright medieval. Sorry to hear they screwed up your system. When I found out what I had I walked away from the entire process. I put my life in the hands of Johanna Budwig and never looked back. I added and subtracted a lot of things over that time as well, but I stayed the course.
Hoping for the best in your future, Rod in MN/USA

Thank you, Ester. Making medical decisions is not always easy for me and some may turn out to have not been the best decisions after all. I’ve said no to certain tests - especially those with ionizing radiation- unless the benefit is greater than the risks (broken bones, dental problem, etc). I believe our medical care system is so fear-driven, especially regarding cancer, and we are taught to trust the doctors because they are the experts. In 1995, when you faced the diagnosis and surgery, it wasn’t possible to do any research online so it would have been natural to assume that the surgeon knew best. I’m grateful that we can access more information online like Sandra’s website and this group. Best wishes for continued healing, Marilyn
