What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test-tube) as well as in vivo (real)...”

"Of all the nutritional theories that I have investigated, Dr. Johanna Budwig’s is definitely number one ... Nowhere in the world have I found not even remotely such fantastic cases as with Dr. Budwig. It’s phenomenal."
Lothar Hirneise, eminent German cancer researcher and author of Chemotherapy Heals Cancer and The Earth Is Flat
"Numerous, independent clinical studies published in major medical journals world-wide confirm Dr. Budwig’s findings….Over 40 years ago Dr Budwig presented clear and convincing evidence, which has been confirmed by hundreds of other related scientific research papers since, that the essential fatty acids were at the core of the answer to the cancer problem…You will come to your own conclusions as to why this simple effective prevention and therapy has not only been ignored—it has been suppressed!"
Dr Willner, M.D., Ph.D. (The Cancer Solution)
”Over the years I have been given a lot of different advice as well, so when I heard about Dr Budwig’s protocol I too was very sceptical, until I tried it."
Anonymous comment
”For the most part one cannot expect the doctors to place any real credibility to the use of FO/CC [flax oil and cottage cheese]. It seems incredible that anything could be successful other than what they are taught in Med school. Imagine the blow to one's ego if it became official that something with which he or she is not familiar would be found to be much better than the things that were studied 10 years to learn.”
Cliff Beckwith
"Dr. Budwig to my knowledge had over 1000 documented successes. However, her work was not popular with the Oncology Industry in Europe. Her ideas would have meant a lot of losses in the Food Industry [too]; especially in the fats industry.My cousin, Richard Beckwith, called her probably eleven years ago and talked to her about forty five minutes. She told him that American doctors had come to Germany and been impressed with her work. Then they wanted to try to work out some way to have exclusive rights to her methods in the United States and make a lot of money and she wouldn't do that.
She believed her work was very important and was anxious to see it carried on but no one seemed interested unless they could make a lot of money.
I had Advanced [prostate] cancer and I could not wait for scientific confirmation and began to use these ideas immediately. One thing led to another, none of it planned, and we have seen many folks recover from cancer or have lives greatly extended. A lot of that information is at
www.beckwithfamily.com.
That is all based on anecdotal evidence. Other than the evidence in Dr. Budwig's records that is all there is. No one is doing any scientific testing. That is done to prove the value of drugs for profit and one cannot patent Flaxseed Oil.
...In my view there should be enough on those lists [the evidence regularly reported on the FlaxseedOil2 Budwig discussion list] and what we have seen to at least cause someone really interested in human welfare to be curious."
Cliff Beckwith
“Over 50% of Dr. Budwig's patients were doctors or relatives of doctors who knew why in such a serious disease they would rely on the experiences of this brilliant physicist, chemist and pharmacologist rather than follow the prevailing opinion which says that tumors must be destroyed through chemotherapy and radiation.”
From the back cover of Dr. Budwig's last book: Cancer - The Problem and The Solution
“And what do I actually do? I give cancer patients simple, natural foods. That is all. I take sick people out of the hospital, when it is said there that they do not have more than an hour or two left to live, that the scientifically attested diagnosis is at hand and that the patient is completely moribund. In most cases I can help even these patients quickly and conclusively.”
Dr. Johanna Budwig in Flax Oil as a True Aid
“The food we eat is not mankind's only determining factor. The body, soul, mind and spirit all have their functions and roles to play, their areas of influence. But the harm done by eating the wrong kind of food fats has repercussions in all realms of life, including healthy mental and spiritual functioning. In our world, however, the choice of healthy food is one of the elementary aspects of our lives which we should organize as such. It is far more important than many people in the Western world are willing to admit. It is not those who acknowledge this fact who are materialistic in their way of thinking, but those who are not willing to forego something, in order to achieve a far greater goal.”
Dr. Johanna Budwig in "Flax Oil as a True Aid"
“I would not think of using the allopathic treatment. I don't think it was bravery on my part to reject it. For me it would have been stupidity to consider it after having seen what it did to so many I knew. My best friend died in my arms shortly after choosing chemo and radiation. I know of so many others who had different cancers and used the traditional treatments and died.
This is my opinion. I believe 150% in what I am choosing to not do and to do. I think that is very important. To give in to any protocol because of the strong opinions of others is a mistake. Research is crucial on the part of the one with the diagnosis.”
Rhoda Freed replying to "Is anyone here using flaxoil/cottage cheese as a first line anti-cancer treatment i.e. have you had the guts to reject chemo/radiation? I think anyone who rejects the traditional ‘approved’ treatments must be very brave.”
And to add here my very personal opinion of Dr. Budwig’s diet and protocol (if I may ;-): I think that it can be a true life-saver for people with serious and less serious ill-health. Due to its affordability and relative ease of implementation combined with an amazing success rate, it is by far my number one favourite basic healing approach. In the long term, it might not be optimal for a healthy person considering the continual inclusion of animal protein in the diet, especially considering the conditions under which most of earth’s dairy is currently produced (see next major heading).
More important in my eyes, however is the following: I believe that for true and permanent healing to be achieved, one often needs to consider and work at healing all known aspects and levels of human existence, which particularly include the emotional, mental, spiritual as well as the environmental ones, with the first three subsumable under the term energetic factors. In fact, I very much agree with eminent alternative and conventional cancer treatment researcher Lothar Hirneise who concurs with a number of other thinkers and healing approaches including traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in stipulating that energetic blockages in the widest sense frequently or invariably provide the basis for disease to develop (likely exceptions in my eyes are ionizing radiation damage and similar noxious impacts assaulting the body’s integrity). Such blockages in energy flow would consequently need to be addressed and removed to allow life energies which form the basis of healthy functioning to flow normally again. See Budwig protocol & life energies blockages: On the question why the cancer always/sometimes will come back when the Budwig diet is abandoned and Energetics, particularly the outstanding DIY healing tool of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I most highly recommend combining the Budwig protocol with EFT and related energetic approaches such as Qigong to optimise one’s cancer “healing curve”.

Why Use Organic Dairy in the Budwig Diet?
1. Antibiotics
Conventional milk (and meat) products are very likely to contain antibiotics which harm and destroy the good (beneficial) intestinal flora. This apparently both impedes proper digestion/optimal mineral nutrient assimilation and immune system performance and contributes to the currently observed Candidiasis epidemic (Candidiasis being defined as “overgrowth in the gastrointestinal tract of the usually benign yeast [or fungus] Candida albicans”). Candida fungus overgrowth has become widespread apparently due to indiscriminate antibiotics use in the food chain.

2. Genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (Posilac)
Conventional dairy products in the US may or do contain bovine growth hormone. See for instance rense.com/general48/milk.htm (“cows treated with Posilac have been developing bone cancers”).

**Methionine, Cystine, and Cysteine: Methionine, cystine, and cysteine and their derivatives owe their designation of “sulphurated amino acids” to the fact that they contain sulfur in addition to carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Incidentally, they are also well-known as an effective cleaning "squad" for all toxic substances that we ingest because they attach themselves to harmful substances and pollutants and carry them out of the body. One example: methionine and cysteine aid in lead elimination (Karen Vago).

Introductory note: As I know from owning 13 of Dr. Budwig’s original German-language writings, Dr. Budwig’s work contains many details and scientific intricacies. Browsing the internet for websites offering free Budwig information, alternative cancer treatment advisors who sell such information as well as for forums and groups discussing the Budwig diet/protocol made me keenly aware that there is a certain amount of (doubtless largely well-intentioned but) partially incorrect information on the Budwig Protocol offered to the English-speaking public. To help dispel the misinformation / misinterpretation / misrepresentation shrouding the genuine Budwig Protocol and to implement and spread the word about Dr. Budwig’s authentic discoveries and “teachings”, I will continue to publish more central details gleaned and translated by me from Dr. Budwig’s original works as well as from my contacts with Budwig patients, Budwig cancer carers and Dr. Budwig’s former associate, using the platform of Healing Cancer Naturally’s Budwig pages.
It is to be hoped that eventually correctly translated editions of more of her books will allow all parts of Dr. Budwig’s work and the full details of her thinking and experience with the healing of cancer to become known and accessible in the English-speaking world.
The following non-exhaustive list shows some “grassroots” forums discussing the use of Dr. Johanna Budwig’s often-successful oil-protein protocol (or parts or “free-style versions” of it) to treat and control cancer as well as other diseases.
