Iron deficiency

 

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone here is happy and healthy and doing really great! 

I have a question regarding iron deficiency.
My cousin, who started the Budwig protocol very recently, has very low red cell blood count and is basically with no energy, it’s hard for him to talk or to even lift a glass of water.
 
Do you have any recommendations about what could be done to help him?
 
He was diagnosed with colon cancer with metastasis to liver and lungs 2 years ago. And for 2 years he was treated with chemotherapy, which did not help. His hemoglobin was always low during that time and he even had a blood transfusion a couple of times , which was helping for a period of time, but then his hemoglobin would fall down again.
The doctors stopped the treatment and he’s been basically left to die (which hopefully won’t be the case) and they are not helping anymore apart from an occasional visit by a nurse.
 
he’s in pain, he has no energy, he has swollen legs and belly… 
 
we started the diet about 2 weeks ago. His sleeping improved, which is great because before he hadn’t been able to sleep...
 
How can we help him? Is there anything we can do to improve his iron levels? Or will they improve in the course of the diet? Is there anything we can do to help with his pain and swollen legs and belly? 

Thank you for your support!
 
Much love to you all!!!

Hello Marta,

I hope he will be better after Budwig Protocol.

I have an experienced and efficient natural formula for iron levels. This formula is not advised by Budwig but natural.

Chop 3 celery into cubes, boil in 1 large pot of drinking water on low heat for 10 minutes, then add 1 bunch of spinach and boil on low heat for another 5 minutes.

Make him drink 1 glass of this mixture every day for 21 days.

It will be work.

Regards,

Mücahit.

If you are juicing, add some spinach to the juice. I juice a couple of ounces of spinach with the carrot, beet, apple, celery, ginger, tomato.

It is unfortunate that he underwent chemo before Budwig. It makes it much more difficult, although still may be effective.

Hi Marta
 
Beetroot is considered to be an excellent blood builder, proven to be very effective in treating anemia. It is also a blood purifier.
 
You could juice it from raw and cook it to add to meals.
 
Hope it helps!

Good morning from UK.

I have been trying to follow the protocol but am struggling .  I find that I cannot take the lunchtime Flaxseed and cottage cheese mixture as I still feel full from the breakfast portion and I don't really like it anyway!   Is it alright to take a much smaller portion along with my salad.  I really cannot face only the FOCC for lunch.  I need the salad and veg.

I also cannot find the recipe suggestions for supper dishes.  I am struggling to make supper at all interesting and varied and I have lost a lot of weight.  Any suggestions gratefully received.    Anthea

Hi Anthea 
 
Here is a link to the files section for recipe ideas:
No, you don't have to consume larger portions of focc, especially if you are small. 
If you can't manage the dessert portion after lunch,  (it is meant to be eaten after your salad) why not make it a savoury mix, as a dressing for your salad, or a healthy
dip for vegetables?
You would mix the oil and quark/cc as per usual,  then add things like garlic, ginger,  lemon juice,  chilli,  horseradish.... whatever you wish in pure form. 
 
Hope this helps.
Best wishes

Thank you very much for your help.  Will try some of the many recipe suggestions and also experiment with the focc as a mayonaise.    All the best   Anthea

Hi Anthea,
I strongly dislike cottage cheese.  It makes me gag, so I must add ingredients to cover up the taste and texture.   First I mix the FOCC with an immersion blender and let it sit for 3 or 4 minutes.  Then I mash up some fruit and stir it into the FOCC with a few drops of stevia and vanilla extract.  For a savory FOCC, I use some chopped herbs - cilantro, dill, scallions, a dab of Dijon mustard, maybe some capers - and fold these into the FOCC to make a dip for carrots, celery, etc.  
Regarding dinner.  It’s a challenge for me because I’m Italian and love pasta!!  Sometimes I gently simmer some chopped plum tomatoes with a little basil, fresh garlic and a drop of honey to cut the acid.  I serve over spaghetti squash with some grated Parmesan cheese and a little crushed red pepper.  Sometimes I make a gremolata by mincing fresh garlic together with lemon zest or lemon peel, parsley and a bit of sea salt.  I sprinkle it on lightly steamed vegetables (zucchini or eggplant) and add a little dash of real balsamic vinegar (no sugar added, only made with grape must).  
 
I hope this helps!
Best,
Marilyn
 

Good morning, Anthea. You don't have to eat the second serving of FO/CC right after lunch. I couldn't either so I ate my second serving at around "tea time", or 4PM. I healed stage 4 lung cancer so can say that it really doesn't matter when, as long as you do. Also, for flavor try adding a pinch of stevia. It helps a LOT. Also, fruit or berries will add some better taste to it.

All the best, Rod in MN/USA
