Dr. Budwig systematically analyzed blood samples from
healthy and sick people and tabulated the findings. According to her, blood
samples from people with cancer, diabetes and some kinds of liver disease (a
frequent forerunner of cancer) consistently lacked Linoleic Acid (LA or
Omega 6 fatty acids). They lacked LA-containing phospholipids necessary to
develop and maintain integrity of cell membranes. They lacked a blood
lipoprotein now known as fatty acid-carrying albumin.
This information and her conclusions (which follow) are not
yet widely documented by other researchers or papers. Lack of phospholipids
provided her with a way to explain the fact that cancer cells often have
multiple sets of chromosomes. The genetic material divides, but the cell
membranes (made of phospholipids containing LA or Omega 6 fatty acids) can’t
be made due to a lack of the material (LA or Omega 6 fatty acids) from which
they are made. Cell division remains incomplete.
Lipoproteins, which contain Linoleic Acid combined with
sulphur-rich protein, are missing from the blood. She found instead a
yellow-green protein substance which, when LA and sulphur-rich protein are
added, makes the yellow-green colour disappear and the red blood pigment
haemoglobin appear. This explains anaemia, lack of oxygen and lack of energy
in cancer patients. The blood’s oxygen carrier (haemoglobin) is low; the
blood can’t carry enough oxygen - the process, which produces energy for
life functions, is stifled. Oxygen is lacking due to lack of haemoglobin.
Lack of LA prevents haemoglobin from being made.
It appeared to her, she says, that cancer, diabetes and some
liver diseases involve deficiency of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). These
must be provided in the diet. The human body cannot make them. Their absence
from our body results from a diet deficient in EFAs.
Dr. Budwig claims that people with other diseases did not
show this severe deficiency and that healthy people’s blood always contained
EFAs. If cancer is a deficiency disease brought on by lack of EFAs, she
reasoned a diet high in EFAs should alleviate at least some of the cancer
patient’s problems.
Combining Oil and Protein
Based on older information about oil and protein working
together, Dr. Budwig fed terminal cancer patients a mixture of skim milk
protein (a sulphur-containing protein) and Hemp Seed Oil and monitored their
blood changes.
She claims that the yellow-green pigment slowly disappeared;
red blood pigment reappeared; phospholipids returned; lipoproteins
reappeared; tumours receded and disappeared; anaemia was alleviated; energy
increased and vitality returned; some patients recovered. Concurrently,
other symptoms of cancer also disappeared. To get healthy required three to
five years of whole foods, carrot juice, some herbs, lots of flax seed, hemp
see, Hemp
Seed Oil taken internally and even Hemp Seed oil enemas. Disappearance of
tumours is not the end of the toxicity present throughout the body, which
must be reversed.
Further Findings and Claims
Dr. Budwig claims that she demonstrated (among other things
not re-printed here) that:
-
Hard carcinoma tumours can be dissolved by cysteine or
insulin (both of which contain sulphur groups) and LA (Omega 6)and
-
Substances isolated from soft tumours contain polymerized
fats of marine origin. Such substances are formed when highly unsaturated
fish and whale oils, used to make margarines, are subjected to high
temperatures.
Getting back to Flaxseed Oil . . .
There are two names for the oil of the flaxseed. The most
common name is "linseed oil." Linseed oil is used as an ingredient in fine
oil paints, varnishes and stains. Linseed oil-based preservatives extend and
enhance the life of concrete. A coating prevents destructive water and salts
from penetrating concrete. It stabilizes the smooth concrete surfaces in
parking structures, bridges and concrete buildings and prevents the
breakdown of reinforced steel. Linseed oil is extracted from flaxseed at
high heat.
The health food industry named its version of the oil of the
flaxseed "flaxseed oil" when it began to scientifically extract the oil from
the flaxseed at low temperatures, in an anaerobic environment — no oxygen —
and in darkness to prevent rancidity.
From 1982 to 1986 I supplemented my diet with flaxseed oil.
In 1986 I began having indigestion when I took the flaxseed oil and any
other oils (mayonnaise/salad oils) so I discontinued using them.
In 1993 I read
Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill by Udo Erasmus
where he states that he experimented by taking only flaxseed oil for two
years and found that it can bring on a deficiency of Omega 6 fatty acids
because it is so rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. His symptoms included dry,
thin skin. He switched to taking Hemp Seed Oil and found that his skin
condition cleared up and he could take Hemp Seed Oil indefinitely with no
unpleasant side effects. This oil is considered Nature’s best nutritionally
balanced oil with a 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3.
To make a life-giving Oil/Protein Mixture (for people without
dairy allergies) mix 4 oz. skim milk yogurt (this contains about 6% protein)
with 1 Tbs. fresh Hemp Seed Oil. Mix ingredients together until oil is no
longer visible. That’s all there is to it.
This oil/protein mixture can be used both by people with
degenerative conditions and by people who are healthy, if allergies to the
protein used are not an issue. If allergies exist, sulphur-rich foods that do
not produce allergies must be selected.
