A complete UK guide to this complementary treatment
The Budwig diet was created by the leading German scientist Dr Johanna Budwig. It is often called the Budwig Protocol because it combines nutrition with lifestyle practices.
Scientific
The Budwig Protocol has it its heart a diet with its roots in a scientific phenomenon known as the “Warburg Effect” discovered by 1931 Nobel Prize winner, medical doctor and biochemist, Otto Heinrich Warburg. Through his work on respiration he discovered that, in the absence of oxygen, cancer cells would metabolise sugar which enabled them to multiply. In the same era, Dr Johanna Budwig, another eminent German biochemist, found that highly unsaturated cold-pressed linseed oil would carry oxygen into the cells to fight cancer. Increasingly modern scientific research supports the benefits to health of the diet. Read about recent discoveries and science behind the Budwig Diet.
Holistic:
Dr Johanna Budwig developed this into the natural, holistic, diet-based Budwig Protocol also called the Budwig Diet it was scientifically way ahead of its time.
Modern Health Discoveries:
The protocol incorporates what we think of today as leading edge health/diet discoveries; the Budwig protocol addresses: sunshine and vitamin D; gut health and its flora of “good” bacteria; acid-alkali balance; “superfoods” including green tea and improved levels of all nutrients; hormone balancing phyto-nutrients; ketogenic diet; exercise and sleep; the importance of the spiritual and emotional side of healing. The Budwig protocol can be of benefit in many areas of health from the digestion to fertility as well as being used to treat many serious conditions including arthritis, cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Simple diet with flax oil cottage cheese
The cornerstone of the Budwig diet is Budwig Muesli, the recipe blends linseed (also known as faxseed) oil with quark cottage cheese eaten at breakfast and lunch. The rest of the diet is vegetarian and packed with natural nutrients.
The Budwig Diet, known in North America as FO/CC diet, is one of the most widely-followed alternative remedy for cancer and diabetes. The cornerstone of the diet is cold-pressed linseed (flaxseed) oil, rich in omega-3, blended with fat-free cottage cheese to make it more soluble. This gets the oxygen-carrying omega-3 into the cells where it is needed. Flax Farm has created this website to help people in the UK follow the diet the way Dr Johanna Budwig intended.
