Linseed (alsi) is an anti-aging food with disease preventing properties. It not only boosts immunity in the human body, it also provides relief in several diseases including diabetes, cancer, constipation, skin and hormonal disorders, blood pressure and other health ailments.

So said President of the Flax Awareness Society, Dr. O. P. Verma while addressing a press conference at the Kota Press Club in Kota on Monday.

As the most abundant plant source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Flax seed helps restore balance.

Even Mahatma Gandhi wrote in one of his books that wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among people, there will be better health.

He said that Flaxseed is richest source of Omega-3 named Fatty acid on earth. Flaxseed contains proteins and several minerals and is also the richest source of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic Lignans on earth, several hundred times more than any other source.

About the ways to use flax seed and flax oil in home cooking, Dr. verma said, "Sprinkle ground flax seed on your curd, cereals and salads. It can also be added to the whole wheat flour for making bread, chapattis or parathas."

The recommended daily dose is 30-60 grams.

Dr. O. P. Verma from India travelled 3000 Km from Nov. 28, 2010 to Dec 14, 2010 for the Awareness of Flaxseed. He is been doing a fenomenal work across India to promote the healing properties of Flax. During his campaign he arranged many seminars, workshops and press conferences in many cities in India. His journey was very successful and they received great print as well as electronic media coverage.

Below are some of the photos for his journey.

Congratulations Dr. Verma on all your wonderful work and thanks for sharing it with BudwigDVDs.com!

A collection of videos about Dr. Budwig's work and fats research

A collection of videos about Dr. Budwig's work and fats research

This is a French narrated video.

Over fifty years ago, Johanna Budwig was the first to highlight the benefits of "omega-3 " and the evils of transfat, which are being " rediscovered " today. But her name remains virtually unknown to scientists, the media and the general public.

This video shows you photos of the "Bundesanstalt Fur Fettforschung", the Federal Institute for Fat Research in Germany where Dr. Budwig worked at. It explains that the Institute contributed largely to the connection between saturated and unsaturated fats. The video says that the woman who made the decisive discovery was Dr. Budwig, who showed the difference between the saturated and unsaturated fats. She was against the margarine industry and said that it caused cancer and other diseases.

She made many discoveries at the Institute of Fats Research and while working with Professor Kaufman, says her nephew Dr. Grunewald who is being interviewed in the video. She was very opposed to the hydrogenation of fats, so she protested. She was a strong personality he says.

Next is a German video.

The omega-3 deficiency in the diet leads to an imbalance of Omega 6/3 Ratio with consequences for the membrane function as well as for the balance of eicosanoids. We find this imbalance in cancer patients as well as with metabolic or immunological disorders. Depression and ADHD also show, in most cases studied, a disorder of Omega 6/3 Ratio. The success of the change in diet or substitution depends on the degree of imbalance, and require monitoring of blood chemistry. Case reports are shown, and hopefully stimulate discussion. 

As a nephew of Dr. Johanna Budwig, a prominent personality in the field of nutritional therapy, Dr. Grunewald has over 50 years of personal and 30 years of medical experience. I this video he talks about the oil-protein diet, developed by Dr. Johanna Budwig. 

The scientific experience of Prof. Otto Heinrich Warburg explains the relationship between cell proliferation (cancer) and the absence of oxygen (anaerobic metabolic imbalance of the cell). Dr. Grunewald explained this hypothesis with detailed modern concepts of cellular processes.

Dr. Budwig has extended this work and by the end of the 1940s presented her findings in the statement "Margarine makes cancer". In relation to the optimal ratio of linoleic acid to linolenic acid, linseed oil played an essential role in their diet.

Standard Cancer Treatments Often Fail, and….

Standard Cancer Treatments Often Fail, and…. Posted by Gene Wei May 30th 2010 Category: Cancer

When someone gets diagnosed with cancer, they are often advised to get the standard treatment ASAP. The first line of treatment often includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Patients are often warned that failure to begin these treatments right away could significantly reduce their chances of survival. Yet there are many notable doctors who think otherwise. Standard cancer treatments often fail and… can actually make things worse. We’ve all heard this for years from proponents of Alternative Medicine, but this time it comes from a very well known Allopathic Doctor. More precisely, Dr. Max Wicha, the founder of The Comprehensive Cancer at The University of Michigan.  Dr. Wicha is also a pioneering researcher in why cancers recur and metastasize to other parts of the body. In a recent interview with Dr. Wicha, he spoke about why cancers often return aggressively after initial treatments. When these tumor cells are killed by treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, they release substances that react with cancer stem cells (master cells). These pro-inflammatory chemicals connect with the cancer stem cells and can actually activate them. Many researchers including Dr. Wicha say that these cancer stem cells can remain alive even after the tumor is “eradicated” by treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. These treatments do not effectively target these stem cells, which may be responsible for spreading the tumor to other parts of the body. Hibernating cancer cells can also be signaled back into action in the future. Dr. Wicha sees stem cells as the key to fighting cancer. He also acknowledges the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy and hopes that they can avoid them all together. For him and his research team, there is still much work to be done. As doctors in Allopathic Medicine continue on their search, more and more health practitioners and doctors are changing their approaches in dealing with degenerative diseases. Their philosophy is shifting away from “fighting disease, ” and toward “promoting health.” Yet even Allopathic doctors like Dr. Wicha acknowledge the harm that often comes with “standard treatments” and they are looking for better ways. It seems that if you ignore a person’s (lack of) overall health, and focus on altering single bio-mechanism, you are bound to have side effects and/or other illnesses regardless. Side effects often come from blocking or stimulating a certain bio-mechanism with drugs. After all, every bio-mechanism in our bodies seems to have its own unique role in the cycle of life. It’s this kind respect for nature, and functional biology that motivated people like Dr. Budwig. When you give the body what it needs to function properly, and remove the harmful elements, it restores itself. Her profound understand of biochemistry, pharmacology, and physics gave her a unique insight on how to prevent and heal serious degenerative diseases like cancer, heart diseases, arthritis, and asthma. The protocol that she developed had a documented 90% success rate with a variety of cancers, some even in later stages. She even proved her case in court after being harassed by multiple interest groups from the food and pharmaceutical industries of her time. Dr. Budwig warned about treatments like chemotherapy for decades. People need to understand that there are many prominent doctors today who also agree with Dr. Budwig regarding the dangers of “standard” treatments. As a chief expert of drugs and fats at The Federal Health Office in Germany, she constantly disapproved of harmful pharmaceutical products, though business interests often got their way. Dr. Budwig was far ahead of her time and modern science is constantly re-validating her work. Many people from all over the world have been helped by her protocol, and more are realizing that there are non-toxic methods of healing the body. It’s important that we educate ourselves about these issues. More knowledge means better decisions. You can now learn Dr. Budwig's entire healing protocol on DVD.

Ten Synthetic Cosmetic Ingredients to Avoid

Ten Synthetic Cosmetic Ingredients to Avoid Posted by UEscher Productions Jul 3rd 2010 Category: Budwig Protocol Tags: synthetic cosmetics

Article by BudwigDVDs.com This article started with a trip to the Mall. My niece (8) had asked me for glittery lip-gloss and lotions from Victoria's Secret for her birthday. She knows I don't enjoy shopping for cheap cosmetics but I decided to just go anyways and “get what she asked for”. Since she can now read, I planned to attach a flyer with a list of all the synthetic ingredients I knew I was bound to find in such cheap non-natural cosmetics. But to my surprise, it was worst than I thought... I compared the ingredients with the list of “Ten Synthetic Cosmetic Ingredients to Avoid” by Aubrey Hampton and was surprised to actually find 9 out of the 10. Here is the breakdown plus I did some extra work and attached pictures. This was a great lesson to my niece. I hope this article will help you as well and inspire everyone to search out for unhealthy ingredients. Learn to read labels, and refuse to settle for half-natural hair and skin care. Buy only organic and all-natural products. Plus there are plenty of wonderful choices available nowadays. 1. METHYL, PROPYL, BUTYL AND ETHYL PARABEN These are used as inhibitors of microbial growth and to extend shelf life of products. They have caused many allergic reactions and skin rashes. Studies have shown that they are weakly estrogenic and can be absorbed by the body through the skin. They are widely used even though they are known to be toxic. 2. DIETHANOLAMINE (DEA), TRIETHANOLAMINE (TEA) These are often used in cosmetics as emulsifiers and/or foaming agents. They can cause allergic reactions, eye irritation and dryness of hair and skin. DEA and TEA are "amines" (ammonia compounds) and can form cancer-causing nitrosamines when they come in contact with nitrates. They are toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time. 3. DIAZOLIDINYL UREA, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA These are widely used preservatives. The American Academy of Dermatology has found them to be a primary cause of contact dermatitis. Two trade names for these chemicals are Germall II and Germall I15. Neither of the Germall chemicals contains a good anti fungal agent, and they must be combined with other preservatives. Both these chemicals release formaldehyde, which can be toxic. 4. SODIUM LAURYL/LAURETH SULPHATE  This is a cheap, harsh detergent used in shampoos for its cleansing and foam-building properties. Often derived from petroleum, it is frequently disguised in pseudo-natural cosmetics with the phrase "comes from coconuts". It causes eye irritation, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, skin rashes and other allergic reactions. 5. PETROLATUM Also known as petroleum jelly, this mineral oil derivative is used for its emollient properties in cosmetics. It has no nutrient value for the skin and can interfere with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, leading to dryness and chapping. It often creates the very conditions it claims to alleviate. Manufacturers use petrolatum because it is unbelievably cheap. 6. PROPYLENE GLYCOL Ideally this is a vegetable glycerin mixed with grain alcohol, both of which are natural. Usually, it is a synthetic petrochemical mix used as a humectant. It has been known to cause allergic reactions, hives and eczema. When you see PEG (polyethylene glycol) of PPG (polypropylene glycol) on labels, beware - these are related synthetics. 7. PVP/VA COPOLYMER A petroleum derived chemical used in hairsprays, styling aids and other cosmetics. It can be considered toxic, since inhaled particles can damage the lungs of sensitive people. NOT FOUND IN THIS PRODUCT 8. STEARALKONIUM CHLORIDE A quaternary ammonium compound used in hair conditioners and creams. Developed by the fabric industry as a fabric softener, it is a lot cheaper and easier to use in hair conditioning formulas than proteins or herbals, which are beneficial to the hair. Causes allergic reactions. Toxic. 9. SYNTHETIC COLOURS Used to make cosmetics "pretty", synthetic colors, along with synthetic hair dyes, should be avoided at all costs. They will be labeled as FD&C or D&C, followed by a color and a number. Example: FD&C Red No.6/D&C Green No.6. Many synthetic colors can be carcinogenic. If a cosmetic contains them, don't use it. [I found a handful of synthetic colors like yellows, oranges, reds, green, blues and more.] 10. SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES The synthetic fragrances used in cosmetics can have as many as 200 ingredients. There is no way to know what the chemicals are, since on the label it will simply read "fragrance". Some problems caused by these chemicals include headaches, dizziness, rash, hyper pigmentation, violent coughing, vomiting, skin irritation - the list goes on. Advice: Don't buy a cosmetic that has the word "fragrance" on the ingredients label.

Silene Thyroid Cancer

Dear Ursula,

I'm doing the oil-protein diet, and let me tell you, I'm feeling better every day! Before I had a lot of pain in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and I just cried thinking I was going to die. I felt very sleepy, I had no energy, I did not live and I vegetated with so many migraines.

Today I can say I'm a new person. I met an angel in my life that helped me beat this disease and I am only in the 1st month of treatment, and I do not intend to leave the diet even after I'm cured.

[Notes: Silene was diagnosed with a Papillary Thyroid Cancer stage 3. She chose not the take any medications and started on the Budwig Diet instead.]

I do not have cancer but my family has a history of heart disease and diabetes. I encountered the Budwig Diet when I ordered two of her books a few years ago to try and help what I thought was arthritis that had been developing over a period of 3 years or so.

I had severe pain in my hip, knee and ankle of my right leg...to the point of not being able to put any weight on it. Being naturally very mistrustful of doctors and hospitals I started doing research on my own. That is how I found out about Dr. Budwig.

I followed the Budwig diet the best I could (which was very difficult because my wife's a good cook and we have 6 children and the entire family is completely entrenched in the typical American diet).

After about a month of following the Budwig diet, all of my pain was completely gone. And I lost 20 pounds in the process!

Unfortunately, I did not keep on the program. But now, I am going to follow the program again. The reason is for prevention, to enjoy better health, and to possibly cure my asthma.

I would also like to thank you Ursula for creating the DVD. I received it yesterday and watched it an hour ago. It is wonderful!

Thank you so much for all your hard work! I wish you the best of success! I will definitely do what I can to help spread the word.
