Below are Guidelines, in brief, for the Budwig Diet & Lifestyle Plan - you don't have to eat all the foods on this list each day. ADJUST THE AMOUNTS TO FIT YOUR SIZE & DIGESTIVE ABILITY. Each food or liquid below has an important purpose. They all fight cancer, heart disease, arthritis & more. There's a good reason for following the schedule as stated below, but if necessary, adjust it to your needs.

The Budwig plan may take 3 months or more before significant improvement occurs. It's also possible to feel worse during the 2nd month; as cancer cells begin to die, some may go into the bloodstream. The plan needs to be continued even after becoming cancer-free or the cancer could return. Eating forbidden foods & experiencing severe stress can promote cancer.

Dr. Budwig's Program: 

  
3. Breakfast--Blend 3 Tbs Flax Oil [45ml] & 6 Tbs Quark or Cottage Cheese [90ml]+3 Tbs [45ml] milk for thinning. Grind & add 2 Tbs [30ml] whole flaxseeds, fresh fruit, pure fruit juice, raw nuts, 1 tsp [5ml]raw honey. This recipe has helped heal hundreds of cancer patients &  is slightly different than Dr. Budwig's quark recipe which starts with blending FO, milk & raw honey, then adds quark. She placed the ground flax seeds in a bowl, then layered fruit & FO/CC on top. Afterward, if hungry, eat 1 slice whole-grain bread, raw veggies, quality cheese -1 oz Edam, Gouda, Emmentaler,  Camembert. Watch a video of FO/CC being made at http://budwig-videos.com/  [Bottom of  page.]

 
4. Mid-morning -Homemade Vegetable Juice (carrot juice, beets w/apple, celery). Very Important.

5. Before Lunch - Champagne or sparkling wine w/ 1Tbs[15ml] whole flaxseeds, freshly ground, OR ground seeds in a small glass of fruit juice. Champagne helps the absorption of ground seeds, allowing nutrients into the brain. 

6. SUNBATHING  [weather permitting] outside 10 to 20 minutes around noon without sun lotion or glasses, expose as much skin as possible to get vitamin D & healing energy of the sun.  Afterward, avoid washing with soap. Give vitamin D several hours to be made on the skin &  absorbed. Sunlight through glass does not make vitamin D.

7. Lunch - A raw vegetable salad + Budwig FO dressing. If still hungry, eat foods from the DINNER menu below.

8. Lunch Dessert - an important 2nd serving of 3 Tbs.[45ml] FO & 6 Tbs.[90ml] Quark or Cottage Cheese + 3 Tbs[45ml] milk, well blended. Add raw fruit, pure fruit juice, raw nuts, 1 tsp [5ml] raw honey and/or other flavors [JB suggested non-sugar dark cocoa, shredded coconut]

9. Mid-afternoon - 1 Tbs. [15ml]whole flaxseeds, freshly ground, in 2 to 8 oz of pure fruit juice, homemade or store-bought.  Flaxseeds are strong cancer fighters and are high in fiber for good digestion & elimination.

10. STRESS REDUCTION--Meditate by focusing on the breath to calm the mind, the goal is to free the mind of thoughts; or use EFT [Emotional Freedom Technique shown on youtube] to change thinking, & use other ways to reduce stress - music, nature walks. 

 
11. Late afternoon - Papaya or pineapple juice, 2 to 8 oz, with 1 Tbs [15ml]whole flaxseeds, freshly ground. 

12. Dinner - Cooked grains & nutritional yeast flakes w/B12 OR grains & beans plus vegetables w/oleolux, nutritional yeast flakes w/B12 & spices. Grains & beans combined make a complete protein. Vegetables such as spinach, asparagus, broccoli, & cabbage as well as onions & garlic are major cancer fighters. Suggested grains: brown rice, buckwheat, millet, oats, quinoa. Grains & potatoes[white or yams] are calming & help w/sleep. If beans bother you, start with small amounts, a tablespoon or less, and slowly increase the serving.

13. Evening - 1 glass of Red Wine [optional]. Go to sleep early - by 10 pm if possible.

14. Dr. Budwig said to AVOID cancer promoters such as chemicals, preservatives, damaging fats, meats/poultry/eggs/fish, sugar, sugar substitutes [other than raw honey], highly processed foods, MOST SUPPLEMENTS, ozone treatments, dental infections and wean off drugs if possible [under a doctor's care].
