The Whole Truth About the Budwig Diet

'Too many in the natural health field, especially writers, scoff at the Budwig Diet’s core protocol as unreal and unsuited for reversing cancer. There are other dietary requirements that are part of her protocol. Lots of sunshine and stress management are also part of Johanna Budwig’s approach to healing the whole person.

That core protocol is flaxseed oil and cottage cheese. Originally it was flaxseed oil and quark, a crumbly textured white cheese resembling ricotta that is common among German speaking nations, Scandinavian countries, and much of the Eastern European region.

Recommendations are mixed, but I think on the whole, most of us can benefit by drinking more water.

It’s a natural miracle worker: plain old water.

It has the power to reduce the risk of heart disease, soothe pain, boost your weight-loss efforts, and ease digestion.
