> Two-Nutrient Cancer Breakthrough...
> 
> Decades ago, European research scientist Dr. Johanna Budwig, a six-time 
> Nobel Award nominee, discovered a totally natural formula. It not only 
> protects against the development of cancer, but fights existing cancer as 
> well. People all over the world who were diagnosed with incurable cancer and 
> sent home to die have greatly benefited from this research and went on to 
> lead normal lives-- thanks to this amazing formula.
> 
> After 30 years of study, Dr. Budwig observed that the blood of seriously ill 
> cancer patients was deficient in certain nutrients. It was the lack of these 
> nutrients that allowed cancer cells to grow out of control.
> 
> By simply eating a combination of two natural and delicious foods not only 
> can cancer be prevented -- but in case after case it was actually healed! 
> "Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction, and diabetes were completely 
> alleviated." Remarkably, what Dr. Budwig discovered was a totally natural 
> way for eradicating cancer.
> 
> However, when she went to publish these results so that everyone could 
> benefit -- she was blocked by drug manufacturers who stood to lose a lot of 
> money. Since natural substances cannot be patented, drug companies won't 
> make money by marketing them. For over 10 years now her methods have proved 
> effective -- yet she is denied publication -- blocked by the giants who 
> don't want you to read her words.

> THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET
> 
> The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna 
> Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and 
> recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former 
> cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most 
> successful anti-cancer diet in the world".
> 
> Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says 
> the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for 
> the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of 
> many other chronic disorders.
> 
> The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in 
> foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.
> 
> The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by 
> protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and 
> which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, 
> chive, onion and garlic, but especially cottage cheese.
> 
> Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly unsaturated 
> fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxydation. It is essential to use 
> only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic acid content, such as 
> linseed, sunflower, soya, poppyseed, walnut, and corn oils. Such oil should 
> be consumed together with foods containing the right proteins otherwise the 
> oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing more harm than good.
> 
> The best combination is cottage cheese and linseed [=flaxseed] oil. The 
> linseed should be freshly ground. Carbohydrates containing natural sugar, 
> such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in the 
> diet. Honey is also beneficial. Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations 
> are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotine as 
> provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed. Vitamin B from buttermilk, yoghurt, 
> and natural yeast is beneficial.
> 
> A person requires daily about 4 oz. of cottage cheese mixed well with 1.5 
> oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of milk. A blender or egg beater works fine. 
> The mixture an be sweeten with honey or otherwise flavoured naturally. Fresh 
> fruits can be added. Every morning 2 spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil 
> should be taken in luke warm buttermilk or yoghurt.
> 
> The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart 
> ailments (coron[ar]y thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and 
> malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight. It is the ideal 
> nutrient for children and infants. It is suggested that this diet be 
> supplemented with lactic acid ferments (4).
> 
> "What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but 
> lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY 
> CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the 
> cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point 
> was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro 
> (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)... " (Roehm, "Townsend Letter for 
> Doctors", July 1990) [Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former 
> cardiologist), see above]
