Questions About the Budwig Diet for Lung CancerPosted By Anna (Melbourne, Australia) on 01/30/2011
My mum has lung cancer so a month ago I started giving her cottage cheese and flaxseed oil together with her normal diet, as mum is elderly and does not want any major changes to her diet. She is also on apricot kernels, CoQ10, vitamins B & C, essiac tea, and chorella. I have done some further research on the Budwig diet and now I am worried that if mum stops the cheese and flaxseed oil therapy her cancer will grow more rapidly. I am also confused whether I can give her hydrogen peroxide. Thank you.

We were told in January that mum most likely has lung cancer and that because she is severely disabled and has several other health issues, a biopsy is not an option. Mum accepted the decision as she would not have wanted chemo or radiation even if it was recommended. A second scan less than three months later showed that the 3cm lung mass has reduced to about 1cm and now the doctors are saying it is unlikely to be cancer. Unfortunately the scan also showed that she has a small blood clot on the lung and she is now on blood thinners so she has discontinued her alternative medicine except for budwig breakfast and 3-4 apricot kernels per day. I am worried that she may have cancer as she is still losing weight. She will be seeing a specialist next month but they don't know what the mass is and have already said that further scans and tests may do more harm.
Here is an updated list of therapies that mum used for about 2 months: budwig breakfast, apricot kernels, cat's claw, COQ10, essiac tea, and grape seed extract.
