Dr Johanna Budwig Pet Cancer Cure Testimonies written/provided by
Cliff Beckwith, a 14 year prostate cancer survivor as of
2006, prefaced and annotated by Healing Cancer Naturally © 2006 & 2007
Introductory notes:Note I
On 22 June 2007 ff., a concerned site visitor sent me the following note which
seems important for dog owners who wish to give their dog (affected by cancer)
Dr. Budwig's flaxoil/cottage cheese (or quark) mix :
"In using the Budwig Diet, be sure to use recommended dosages for your dog's
weight and size. Also, some dogs are prone to pancreatitis. The fat content in
the diet can sometimes induce this. Due to years of eating processed dog food,
liver blockages can develop -- which makes a dog more susceptible to
pancreatitis. A liver cleanse can help clear the blockages -- using dandelion
root and administering frequent liver massages. Also, some have suggested using
digestive enzymes along with the Budwig Diet to help break down the fat,
although this has not yet been confirmed. Here are the symptoms of pancreatitis:
the dog becomes unresponsive (refuses to move much), general weakness, refuses
to eat, and tests will show an increase in liver enzymes. The treatment is: fast
the dog on water for a day or two and eliminate all fats. Then, increase food
intake gradually. This was successful for our dog, and he was fine within a
couple of weeks."
Note II
The flaxoil/cottage cheese or quark mixture (featuring prominently in the
following testimonials) which provides massive amounts of omega 3 quality fatty
acids (apparently a prime player in the healing equation) is indeed one of the
backbones of Dr. Johanna Budwig's natural healing protocol for (human) cancer
and other degenerative disease. But compare. Is the Budwig Protocol "just
flaxseed oil and cottage cheese"?
Cliff Beckwith intro to the following pet testimonials:
In the future, if anyone reading this can furnish us with any
result of the use of flax
oil/cottage cheese with your pet, I will add it to this account for the benefit
of future contacts. Of course, I am now [85], so how many years I have is
uncertain, though I do not see any immediate problems. The flax oil has arrested
the problem [prostate cancer] long ago, but it had come back a little because I
had not known that Dr. Budwig recommended one tablespoon a day per hundred lb.
body weight and not just a tablespoon a day. We've increased and seem on the
right road again. Whether man or pet, this must be
kept up for life to keep bodies able to handle cancer cells.
The first thought of pet application came when a man told me
about his dog. He was getting along in dog years and had developed cancer. His
eyes were dull and he was so weak that he couldn't lift his leg. This man told
me that he mixed up a couple of tablespoons with some cottage cheese a couple of
times a day and the dog wolfed it down. He said it wasn't long before the dog's
eyes were bright, his coat was shiny and he was running all over the place. The
second that I knew of was a similar situation with a dog that was owned by my
cousin's daughter. In both cases the dogs lived out a normal doggy life. Then a
few years ago I received, in a Christmas card, an item cut out of a paper in
Maine. My friend told me that I would enjoy it. It was a question to the
veterinary column. The question was how to prevent his pet squirrel from losing
its hair. The answer was to feed it flaxseed oil. It would build up its immune
system and it wouldn't lose its hair.
A few years ago a young kitty cat wandered in, very
malnourished, and had very little hair. I thought of the article, and put out
cottage cheese with around a teaspoon of flaxseed in it. She had that every day
along with regular cat food. It wasn't but a short time that she developed a
shiny coat, and is today a beautiful cat. After that she wouldn't eat it
anymore. Maybe animals have an instinct about things like that.
One lady I know had a large dog that had developed cancer that
was fairly advanced. The folks tried everything to get it to eat food with flax
oil in it, and it just wouldn't. It did die.
One man wrote to me from Wisconsin and told me about their
dog. I quote from his letter as follows, "Results! Our dog, Penny, was to have
died two and a half years ago from several cancerous tumors. We changed her
diet, gave her many nutritious supplements and herbs. She survived..but..was
still in pain and slept most of the day away. So, she is a member of the family
too, so we gave her one Tablespoon of the Flax Oil daily [she is a small dog of
about 35 pounds]. Now she goes for a four mile morning walk with Ina and seems
to be better than before and many of the tumors have receded."
I know of other situations in general, but not in specific
detail. I do know that our local vet is impressed enough with it that she is
recommending flax oil when people bring in pets with cancer.
One of our correspondents, Ron Conley of Texas, has a Siberian
Huskey, Natasha, that had been in serious trouble with cancer. He has a detailed
account of what was done to treat her over four months time. I believe the vet
had believed that she could not live more than 30 to 60 days. The treatments
involved a lot of things with flaxseed oil a major support. The dog is doing
very well today, and his web page includes references to several different pet
situations. For information, check his web site:
home.earthlink.net/~texas2step/cancerfightnewsletter.html#Month14
It is an inspiring story.
Question:
Our 9 month old puppy was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor at 6 months - we have
had her on 1 cup of kefir with 6 T of flax oil daily for the past two months.
Last week we noticed another bump on her leg (about an inch from the original
tumor, which was surgically removed) & have a feeling that it's another tumor.
Any suggestions? I'm beginning to wonder if Kefir wasn't the appropriate sulphur
protein to mix with the flax oil, but I've read that it's ok. Should I up the
dosage? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Answer:
We have an old dog, with arthritis, etc. that go with old age, and so I have
been mixing my flaxoil/cottage cheese every morning and giving her 2 Tablespoons
of it (she is a very small terrier). I do mix the flaxseed oil with low fat
cottage cheese and flax seeds. The first time I offered it to her, she turned up
her nose and walked away. I thought "Little lady, you ARE going to eat that. "
So the next morning I prepared it as usual and spoon fed it to her. She did not
resist, but swallowed it right down. After 3 days of spoon feeding, I just put
it on a saucer and held the saucer down to her, but kept holding it (I thought
maybe that would be to her about the same as
me spoon feeding her). She lapped the saucer clean. The next day I sat the
saucer down on the floor right beside me and she ate it all. Now, when I begin
to make my mixture every morning, as soon as she hears the blender running, she
comes running from wherever she was, and stands very close to me, licking her
lips (literally) and quivering with excitement. Ever since then she has eaten it
faithfully and eagerly.
Compare Tips: how to feed the flaxoil/cottage cheese to your
pets while avoiding giving them "the runs" (diarrhea).
I give it to her before I add fruit, as she does not seem to
like the fruit.
The mixture I give her 2 Tablespoons of, consists of:
2 or 3 Tablespoons of skim milk
3 Tablespoons of Flaxseed oil
2 Tablespoons of Flax seeds
Blend slightly.
Then I add 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, a little bit at a time, blending
after each addition.
Next I add 1 Tablespoon of raw honey.
I give her 2 Tablespoons of this mixture.
Then I add 1/2 cup 100% grape juice.
I drink this with as much relish as my little dog shows. She
shows no signs of cancer, but I do have diagnosed breast cancer, which
became apparent on Oct. 8, 2002. I began the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese the
same day. My tumor has shrunk dramatically (within days I should know the exact
measurement of it - - from the radiologist, who has said he will look up my file
and measure it). But I know this much, at the beginning I also had a lymph node
that was involved - - - (it is completely reduced now, and my doctor can no
longer find it. ) The entire tumor has shrunk dramatically. I had entire body
scans recently and they show that I have no cancer cells
in my body, except the original ones in the breast. I plan to continue eating my
FO/CC until it is all gone. I expect that it will be in another year.
If I were you, I would make this mixture that I have written
about and give it to your little dog. I believe that it would cure her of
cancer, if you are faithful in giving it to her, and do not give up, but
continue it indefinitely. I hope you can do this. I understand how much you love
your dog - - - just as I love mine. My sympathy and understanding goes out to
you. And please keep us updated on how your little dog does.
I don't know what Kefir is, but I know that Dr. Budwig said to
use low fat cottage cheese [Quark where available], and that is THE ONLY THING
that I would mix the oil with.
Nan
I have recently started giving my 3 dogs the flax oil/cottage
cheese with raw honey but without the fruit also. My dogs are on average 12
human years. One had a huge tumor on his hip, now it is greatly reduced (a
couple of weeks). This dog was not eating very well at all and now he is eating
with gusto. Another one of my dogs has some ugly looking moles. I have seem some
change there also.
Del
Shiloh (Myelogenous Leukemia)
(This is one of the most remarkable evidences of the power of Omega 3 that I
have. This dog was getting the equivalent of 9 tablespoons a day for a 165 pound
man.)
Dear Mr. Beckwith, My dog, Shilo was diagnosed with Myelogenous Leukemia with
supression of red blood cells and platelet production on 3/18/99. The U.OFM. in
St. Paul which is one of the best vet hospitals in the country did a bone marrow
on Shilo who is only 3 and half years old and a CBC and found cancer cells a lot
in his blood. All they could offer was to put him on Predizone and buy him a
little time. Depressed and very sad I went on the Internet and with the help of
GOD I found your page on Flax OIL and read the testimonials. The next day I
started Shilo on flax oil and cottage cheese 3 tablespoons a day and right away
I started seeing results. Four days later I took him back to the vets and they
did a CBC blood test and they were amazed and didn't understand why his white
count was normal {after having hardly any white blood cells at all} his
platelets were clotting normally and he was producing red blood cells at a fast
rate. The veterinarians were baffled. They also could not find one cancer cell
in his blood!! Besides the flax oil I have him on vitamin C, E, Genistein, and a
multivitamin for dogs to help his immune system. I know in my heart the thing
that really made the difference was the flax seed oil. Shilo weighs 56 pounds
and is a Golden Retriever. I will be seeing the vet in another week for a blood
test and I know it will come out cancer-free. Shilo is feeling great and acting
like a normal dog and 10 days ago he had a 106 temp and dying.
Bless You Mr. Beckwith, Shirley, and Ms. Budwig!!
Please write back to me. God Bless,
Kirk Heckel, and Tim Brown.
Dear Cliff, Just to let you know Shilo had a blood test today
and there was NO sign of cancer cells in his blood and his platelets and red
blood cells were normal. He is still getting 3 tablespoons of flaxoil and
cottage cheese a day.
Hi Cliff, Thank you for the info on the lady from Missouri.
It's so wonderful to know that I can help other people, like you and others have
helped me. Your testimonials saved Shilo's life. Shilo is doing great. Shilo and
Woodson {my other dog} are both on flax oil and cottage cheese and vitamins.
Their energy level is so much better and Shilo seems even healthier than before
he was sick. Everybody who has seen Shilo can't believe how good he looks and
how his fur coat is so shiny and thick. My Grandma's dog "Jake" has had problems
with hot spots. She started him on flax oil with cottage cheese and the hot
spots are going away. My mom and dad and sister are giving it to themselves and
their dogs. As for my vets, my vet knows about the flax oil but the vets at the
University of Minnesota don't know yet. They probably think Shilo is dead,
because I haven't seen them since May. I believe timing is everything so I plan
on sending them a Christmas card with a picture of Shilo and a letter saying he
is alive and well. I will explain to them what I have been doing and I will
suggest to them that they need to do a study on flax oil and cancer with
terminal dogs. Maybe that will floor them. Have any other suggestions? Ron
Conley is working on Shilo's story for an upcoming newsletter. It should be
pretty cool. I have to tell you something, you should get a kick out of this.
Shilo, Woodson and myself take the flax oil and cottage cheese. As you can guess
I go thru a lot of cottage cheese each week. So whenever there is a sale on
cottage cheese I stock up. Last week I went to the grocery store and saw a sale
on cottage cheese, so I bought about 10 containers. They also had a sale on
pickles so I bought a couple of jars. So I am going up to the register and
getting weird looks from people. The cashier gives me a funny look. I start
laughing. I thought they must think I have a pregnant wife or I have strange
food cravings, pickles and cottage cheese. Oh well. I hope everything is going
good for you, keep me updated, take care,
Cliff,
This was on the Sheltie Naturals list and I thought it would be of interest
to you...
Diamond featured in the Whole Dog Journal In the August 2000 issue of Whole Dog
Journal, there is a great article written by Barb Hamlin, a dog owner from
Michigan. Hamlin tells the story of her German Shepherd's recovery from soft
tissue cancer - which did NOT involve chemotherapy or radiation. Instead, Hamlin
employed a nutritional approach she found on the internet. . . . This approach
was developed by a German scientist, Dr. Joanna Budwig, who has written several
books about her successes in treating all sorts of cancers with a supplement
made of cottage cheese and flax oil. Dr. Budwig's most recent book is 'Flax Oil
As A True
Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Disease, Cancer, and Other Diseases and now Cancer
- The Problem and The Solution.
Hamlin gave her dog 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese and 1
1/2 tablespoons of Barlean's Organic Flax Seed Oil two times a day, as well as
supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, juiced vegetables, and digestive
enzymes. She also fasted her dog once a week, and withheld any vaccinations or
chemical flea or tick treatments. Within three months, the tumor had Completely
disappeared.
Hamlin describes her protocol thoroughly in the WDJ article, which is available
for purchase from the publisher, Belvoir Publications, by calling 800-424-7887
.... As of October 2000 Barb reports that Diamond is doing great!
"My lab was diagnosed with bone cancer in her jaw when she was
nine. The vets only gave her a short time to live. I started her on Essiac
tea ... and she will turn 14 this fall. The vets call her a 'miracle dog'."
At home.earthlink.net/~texas2step/cancerfightnewsletter.html,
you will find "good testimonials of dogs not having any conventional treatment
at all ...and being cured with Budwig or supplements."
Tips: how to feed the flaxoil/cottage cheese to your pets
while avoiding giving them "the runs" (diarrhea) by Marilyn Hampstead, author of
The Basil Book.
I have used this for both dog and cat.
Make the following. Give the pet one to two teaspoons. Eat the rest yourself. As
your pet begins to look forward to this treat, give more. Do this three times a
day. If there is resistance, thin with water and put it into a syringe or turkey
baster and put that in the side of the mouth and squeeze gently. You do not want
to drown your pet while trying to help it. [Be sure to give your dog a treat
immediately after so s/he will be rewarded & may look forward to flax
oil/cottage cheese.]
For cats, to encourage self-eating, add a drop or two of cod liver oil. I have
yet to see a cat that will refuse cod liver or fish oil. [It should be similarly
disguisable in a dog's food.]
My cats enjoy their flaxseed oil mixed into homemade yoghurt* with ground
flaxseed garnished with either tuna** fish or a few drops of fish oil. They lick
their bowls clean.
Because self-made yoghurt is fermented and not pasteurized, it includes live
bacteria*** that benefit the intestinal tract similar to sauerkraut, and all the
milk sugars are converted. Hence, no loose stools. ["Nancy's" organic cottage
cheese and perhaps other brands contain live cultures.]
More tips
Dogs: add sardines
Apparently dogs love fish smell, so one could add (unsalted) sardines to the
flaxoil/cottage cheese mix. Similarly, to camouflage the mix, one could add fish
juice or purified fish oil (see comments flaxseed oil vs. fish oil. You might
also be able to roll the mixture inside ground beef like a meatball. Adding some
raw liver may also help.
Cats: add salmon
"For me, I was just glad to find a way to get the cat to eat flax oil/cottage
cheese. She had no interest once she smelled the flax oil.
Adding the juice from canned salmon along with a little of the meat did the
trick. The cat loves the smell and eats the entire mixture. She is now doing
really well."
* It is better to use quark which you can easily make from
yoghurt by draining it .
** Care is advised with tuna: tuna is known to have dangerously high mercury
levels that are toxic to anyone, and likely more so anyone with cancer.
*** Please note that the most recommended yoghurt starter cultures are live
Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and L. casei bacteria
(so-called probiotics , of which there are a number). Beneficial gut bacteria
constitute the healthy intestinal flora necessary for good digestion and immune
function and are compromised in many persons due to antibiotics (and possibly
pesticide and other toxin) ingestion (and even exposure to antibacterial
cleaners). Among many positive contributions to our health, probiotics also keep
any candida albicans (yeast) colonies in check. Re probiotics, compare On
supplements, intestinal flora, cancer and immune system: It's not what you
ingest, but what you usefully absorb. |
