Budwig Protocol Products you will need
The products below are necessary in order to follow the protocol at home.
| Immersion Hand Blender
An Immersion Blender is needed in order to mix the Flax Oil with the Cottage Cheese or Quark. A regular blender won't work as the mixture will get stuck under the blades, unless of course you are mixing enough quantity to feed a large family. And mixing by hand using a fork or an eggbeater will also not work - you really need a high-speed blender to combine the oil with the cheese. |

Masticating Juicer
You will need a masticating type juicer. With these juicers, the juice is first extracted through a crushing stage and, before the pulp is ejected, it is then squeezed during a second pressing stage; resulting in more juice, and drier pulp.
The best advice is to buy the best juicer you can afford. The Omega Juicer ($290) is great and not too expensive so I recommend it. Others like the Norwalk Juicer ($2,500) can be pricey, but are very strong and durable.
According to a study by Michael Donaldson, PhD, we have concluded that using the Omega Juicer to only grind in combination with the Peoples Juice Press, to then press the juice, is actually the best combination that produces the most juice with the most nutrients and enzimes, better than the Norwalk. Note that in this study the Champion Juicer is used to juice carrots, however this machine is not recommended for leafy greens, therefore I do not recommend it. Note also that centrifugal juicers are cheaper but also not recommended. They have a more difficult time effectively extracting high yields of juice from grassed and leafy foods like wheatgrass, spinach, lettuce, parsley and other greens and herbs.
Conclusion: So if you are not able to purchase the stand alone Norwalk juicer ($2,500), I suggest investing in the Omega Juicer ($290) as a start and then purchasing the Peoples Press ($490). |

Coffee or Flax Seed Grinder
Dr. Budwig explains that Flax Seeds must be ground fresh and eaten within 15 minutes. Any coffee grinder will work and specialty seed grinders are another option. Remember to never grind the seeds into a powder, only grind them roughly.
In order to protect the grounded seeds from oxidation Dr. Budwig created her Linomel cereal recipe by mixing the ground seeds with honey and a little milk powder. Besides the Linomel-Muesli recipes, she advised adding Linomel to fresh juices. Remember to chew the seeds well while drinking to stimulate the digestion. |

Enema Bucket Kit
For the very serious cases, when the patient was too sick to eat, Dr. Budwig used Eldi Oil Enemas. This simple solution allows the electron-rich oil to get into the body internally.
For Oil Enemas we recommend using an Enema bucket. Enema bags can also be used, but they are very difficult to clean. If Eldi Oils are not available in your town you can use pure organic Flax Oil instead. Or you can visit our Eldi Oils store here. |

Note: Always consult your health professional before starting any dietary program.

Essiac Tea
The Essiac herbal formula was discovered by Nurse Rene Caisse. She helped hundreds of cancer patients at her clinic in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada.
One of Caisse's patients was her own mother, Friseide Caisse, who was diagnosed with liver cancer at the age of 72. Her mother's physician reportedly said she had only days to live. Thanks to Essiac her cancer was gone and she lived to be 90. You can download a free PDF of the complete History of Essiac here.
Not recommended to brain tumor patients: Rene Caisse noticed that many times before the tumor would break down it would initially grow instead. To the brain tissue, this can be extremely damaging and affect mental or body functions, since during this rapid growth some areas of the brain can suffer excess pressure.

Flor-Essence Herbal Tea
Flor-Essence was created years after Essiac tea but it contains the same 4 main ingredients, including Burdock root, Indian rhubarb root, Sheep sorrel and Slippery elm (the inner bark).
It is said that when these herbs are mixed in exact amounts, the mixtures make the immune system stronger, have anti-inflammatory effects (decrease swelling, redness, and pain), and show anticancer activity.
See warning to brain tumor patients above, under Essiac Tea. |

Pau d'Arco or Lapacho Tea
Laboratory studies suggest that lapacho and other compounds from Pau d'Arco may have effects against cancer, as well as other illnesses. Pau d'Arco tea or tincture concoctions have had beneficial effects for cancer victims, including complete remission of tumors. In the US Pau d-Arco tea is affordable and sold at natural food stores. |

Mushrooms
Mushrooms like Shiitake, Maitake, Reishi, Chaga and Cordyceps contain many polysaccharides, molecules that have been shown in lab studies to have beneficial effects in fighting cancer cells.
Historically, the use of medicinal mushrooms dates back to ancient Asia. Currently, manufacturers are investing in controlled clinical trials to clearly demonstrate the general health benefits of mushrooms, and to identify the specific biochemical reactions that lead to enhanced immune reactions.
Shiitake mushrooms are the easiest to find at natural food stores and are a common ingredient in many Asian recipes.
Animal studies with Maitake mushrooms have indicated that natural killer (NK) cells, the body's first line of defense against disease, display increased activity levels of more than 80 percent, while cytokine secretion and T-cell production are also enhanced. There has been only one human study, which demonstrated a reduction of tumors in breast, liver and lung cancer patients and reduction in chemotherapy side effects, including nausea, vomiting and pain.
Recent studies in New Zealand show that a combination of Reishi and Cordyceps extracts had beneficial effects on the quality of life for some advanced cancer patients. Researchers believe that a mixture of the active ingredients from different mushrooms maximizes the immune response by providing multiple stimuli to the body's natural defenses.

Goldenseal Root
Goldenseal
is a wild perennial herb native to North America.
It has been used for centuries as an herbal remedy for everything from cuts and scrapes to cancer. Goldenseal contains a chemical, berberine, which has anti-microbial properties. It's a natural antibiotic, immune stimulant and digestive aid.
The use of goldenseal was taught to early American colonists by Cherokee medicine men and women, who used it as a cure for cancer. It has also been used by successful physicians in many cancer treatments, including Dr. John Pattison, who initially used bloodroot but later switched to Goldenseal
because he regarded it as clinically superior. |
