Cancer is still considered as one of the deadliest diseases among humans. This disease is responsible for millions of deaths around the world.
In the 1950's, a German scientist and researcher attempted to develop a simple medication that could possibly prevent and cure different types of cancer. This medical professional is named Johanna Budwig. Dr. Budwig was nominated for the Right Livelihood Award (colloquially called the Alternative Nobel Prize) because of her 'discovery.' It was her aim to find an effective and affordable cure for this deadly disease
One day, Dr. Budwig claimed to have discovered how cancer cells grow and accumulate inside the body. Upon studying fats and oils, he discovered a natural ingredient whose chemical composition is similar with the cancer treatment drugs. This has led her to her main discovery.
The German scientist found out that quark (a type of cheese) contains cysteine and methionine amino acids which can be found in expensive cancer drugs. This has prompt Dr. Budwig to develop the mixture for the treatment of cancer. According to awm.com, here is how to make the Budwig Protocol Diet:
"Mix 1 tbsp. of flax oil and 2 tbsp. of organic low fat cottage cheese or quark for every 100 pounds of the individual. Blend them with an immersion blender for a minute, never by hand. Grind 1 tbsp. of brown or golden flaxseeds until it is airy and fluffy. Transfer the ground flax and the oil-cheese mixture into a glass and stir with a spoon. Garnish with nuts, spices, or fruits on top."
Patients who tried her medication gained positive results and felt better. Because of this, American scientists became interested in her discovery. Since there is a great demand for cancer medication, it became a growing major industry in the 1950's. Scientists who express interest in her discovery wanted to make more profit from it. However, Dr. Budwig refused to give them the right to sell her treatment at a more expensive price in the market.
Until today, there is still no confirmation from the international medical board if her discovery can prevent the progression of this disease. Nonetheless, the composition of her diet is fiber-rich which may help in the prevention of cancer formation among healthy people.
