ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS

Omega-3 Oils (Essential Fatty Acids)

Dr Johanna Budwig writes books and travels the world over lecturing on the benefits of flaxseed oil and, at the same time, deriding the "pseudo" fats the food industry loves so much: hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated. She enjoys pointing out that these "pseudo" fats are not water soluble and, in addition to causing a host of problems, end up binding with muscle tissue (especially in the heart) as fatty deposits. They end up blocking circulation, damage heart action, inhibit cell renewal and impede the flow of blood and lymph fluids. Our bodies show a measurable loss of electrical energy which is replenished only by adding active lipids (fats) to the diet.

So, she has come up with a formula that not only replenishes the entire system improving circulation as well as immune functions, but also prevents and fights cancer. It is a very simple formula based upon the fact that lipids are water-soluble and free-flowing when bound to protein.

Her formula: two tablespoons of flaxseed oil to a quarter cup of low fat cottage cheese (Dr Budwig used a different milk product we don't get here in America, but low fat cottage cheese is a perfect substitute). For our American tastes, you might want to add some apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, kelp (as a salt replacement), and chop up come veggies (carrots or celery) too.

Once the scientific community got a hold on her research, further studies began pouring in touting the benefits of this simple recipe: anti-tumor activity, increased metabolism, greatly boosted immune systems, reduced cholesterol levels, normalized blood pressure levels, and the inhibition of cancer cell growth.

There are many books on the market about Omega-3 oils, but Budwig's are the best place to start: Cancer - A Fat Problem, The Death of the Tumor, and probably her best, True Health Against Arteriosclerosis, Heart Infarction & Cancer.
