The Budwig Cream Story
Johanna Budwig (1908 – 2003) was a german researcher of fats, a pioneer in nutrition, a healer, who was nominated 7 times for the Nobel Prize in 1979. She studied physics, chemistry, Medicine, biology, botany and she also was a pharmacist.
She dedicated her life to studying flaxseed oil and its healing effects. Dr. Johanna was able to identify flaxseed as a significant source of highly unsaturated fatty acids.
The Budwig Diet:
The Budwig protocol (1952) is based in the consumption of flaxseed oil and a type of cottage or quark cheese 0% fat, and mix them well, until the oil is no longer visible. Flaxseed contains Omega 3, a healthful fat that may reduce the levels of certain chemicals that contribute to cancer. It also contains lignans and phytoestrogens which may have anti cancer effects.
Dr. Catherine Kousmine (1904 – 1992) was a russian scientist, who devised restrictive diet for treating many human ailments including Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer.
She and her parents moved from Russia to Lauzane in Switzerland fleeing communism. She received her medical degree in 1928. After that she understood that she could not have real and lasting results in the treatment of diseases, without giving to human body, its own healing abilities that it seemed to have lost. She said :
” I would like everyone to understand that he can only count on himself, that he is responsible for his person, that the body at his disposal must be managed like any other good”.
She surrendered that most of the current chronic diseases were the consequence of an erroneous diet, and if a wrong diet generates health problems, the return to a healthy diet would be a very effective therapeutic weapon. For that it would be necessary a complementation of nutrients, intestinal hygiene, maintaining the base-acid balance of the body and an immune modulation.
This set of measures called The Kousmine Method, where changes in foods has a primary role, but it is not the unique.
“I will be tomorrow what I eat today”
Dr Kousmine adopt the Budwig ‘s protocol and in honor of her friend Johanna created the famous “Budwig Cream”.
