The Budwig Diet

Based on the information from here:

The Budwig Diet is also known as the Cottage Cheese & Flaxseed Oil Diet created by Dr Budwig  — purported to be an alternative treatment for cancer and other chronic disease. A mix of these two ingredients is one component of a protocol involving additional types of alternative therapy, and generally avoiding conventional treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Budwig said that the blood of cancer patients was deficient in some essential components, including phosphatides and lipoproteins. This affects the proper balance between the electrically negative cell membranes and the electrically positive nutrients, causing stagnated healthy cell growth. A balance could be restored through diet over three months, resulting in better health.

Eating a specific mix of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil is said to help resolve stagnated healthy cell growth and cause tumors to dissolve. This is due to the essential electron-rich unsaturated fats in flaxseed oil and the sulfur protein of cottage cheese. The chemical reaction between these two makes the oil soluble in water, so it can permeate cell membranes and produce healing effects.

To make the cottage cheese and flaxseed oil combination, I use the immersion blender to blend 2 or 4 tbsp. of cottage cheese to 1 or 2 tbsp. of oil. To make it more palatable, I will add fruits, chia seeds etc as seen in the photo above. That one has strawberries, chia seeds and lime zest (extras from my key lime tart).  

I have been having this 'diet' multiple times a week — not sure if it works because I'm under chemotherapy as well; whereas those under this strict diet are usually patients who are seeking alternative therapy. In any case, I hope eating this will be a supplement!

In other news, yesterday I was getting out of the car at Eastpoint Mall... when my heart palpitations came back again :'( CRAI. Spent almost 30 mins sitting at Tori Q in the basement instead of exploring the newly renovated mall. Tried my best coughing hard to get my heart back on track but to no avail. When I got home, my heart rate was around 146. Lay on my bed and didn't move an inch cuz I was afraid my heart rate will go up (dinner in bed!). My mom managed to contact Dr Eric, and he asked me to take an extra dose of my heart medication. Past 10pm, my heart rate finally slowed to 100+, I think it's due to the combination of both the medication and the effect of blowing the syringe (the cardiologists taught me this method to reverse my fast heart rate). 

Well, at least it went down and saved us a trip to the ER where I would have been kept for at least a night. So thankful.
