Flaxseed Oil Cottage Cheese Recipe as described in the Budwig Protocol

Flax Oil Cottage Cheese Recipe

1 tbsp. Flax seed oil mixed with 1/4 cup cottage cheese (or 3/4 cup yogurt)

This recipe was an important part of the Budwig Protocol, which, according to many, has been used to treat & prevent a number of diseases including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Flax Oil

Dr. Johanna Budwig, one of Germany’s top biochemists, who was nominated for the nobel prize (seven times) for her work, discovered that people with these kinds of diseases also had a deficiency of certain essential fatty acids. Your your body must have these EFAs in order to maintain good health, but it cannot manufacture them on it’s own, therefore you MUST get them from your food. Unfortunately the typical American diet provides very little Omega 3 and usually provides too much Omega 6. The proper balance is very important.

Dr. Budwig successfully treated thousands of patients with her protocol which included the flax oil cottage cheese recipe as well as freshly juiced fruits & vegetables; and she forbid other food items such as sugar, meat, animal fat, margarine, butter, and a few more. The Budwig Protocol can be found in Dr. Budwig’s book “The Oil Protein Diet Cookbook“. This diet is also known as “The Anti-Cancer Diet”.

Her success rate was incredible. Many of her patients, terminally ill with cancer, had basically been sent home to die. But by following the Budwig protocol, 90% of them fully regained their health. She stated that the other 10% had likely received too much damage from the traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, which she strongly opposed.  Why did this protocol work so well? Actually it’s all VERY scientific. Find out all the details in the book “Flax Oil as a True Aid…” and stay tuned as we post more articles on the Budwig Protocol.

Flax seed oil is one of the best sources of Omega 3. Cottage cheese is a good source of a sulferic based protein (needed to make the flax oil water soluble and easy for your body to assimilate). This mixture causes a chemical reaction to occur in the body which oxygenates the cells. According to Dr. Budwig cancer cannot live in an oxyigenated environment. In fact, she recommended the recipe to be taken daily to help prevent many diseases. For the terminally ill patients, she treated them with 3 to 6 servings per day.

Flax oil and fish oil contain the very healthy (Omega 3) essential fatty acids (EFAs).  Essential meaning that your body must have them. Your body cannot manufacture these particular EFAs as it can many other essential nutrients.

Therefore you must get them through your diet. These are life saving fats have many health benefits and they also help your body get rid of the bad fats you’ve already accumulated. Flax oil should always be kept refrigerated, even at the store. Don’t buy flax oil off the shelf at room temperature.

Flax Seed

Flax seeds are very healthy too but in order to get the benefits, they need to be ground up with a coffee grinder or magic bullet. After grinding the flax seeds be sure to consume them within 15 minutes because they go rancid very quickly.
