> The reports for hormone related breast cancer and CCFO are also
sketchy. I think alternatives and lifestyle changes are essential in
dealing with cancer. But, one of the most important things is to
recognize that not all cancers are the same. To tell someone to use
a protocol that might not be for their cancer, is dangerous. It's my
personal opinion that Budwig may work well for non-hormonal cancers,
but so far, I can't see how it would work for those cancers related
to hormones.

Hi Arlyn,
I agree that no one should tell another person what treatment they
should follow for cancer. I hope that no one in the flaxseedoil2 group
is doing that. I and other members do try to explain what we know
about this protocol and what it can do.
In the FlaxseedOil2 group files section in Folder 6, there are ten
testimonials from members who had breast cancer, some with mets to
the bones, who became cancer free while following the Budwig
protocol.
Below are explanations of how the Budwig plan is especially good for
people with hormone-related cancers. The following three messages
were posted to the FlaxseedOil group and are in the archives.
From Wilhelm-a strong researcher of the Budwig plan.
"I mention flaxseeds especially for breast cancer and prostate cancer
sufferers because they lower the estrogen dominance in women and in
men. There are many quotes on this subject on the net. Here are some
that I have available:
"Lignans [part of the flaxseeds] subdue cancerous changes once
they've occurred, rendering them less likely to race out of control
and develop into full-blown cancer, " says flax researcher Lilian
Thompson, Ph.D., professor of nutritional sciences at the University
of Toronto.
Lignans show particular promise for battling breast cancer. They do
this by blocking the effects of estrogen, which, over time, seems to
increase breast cancer risk in some women. Even when estrogen-
sensitive tumors get a chance to grow, lignans exert a restraining
influence that can slow or even halt their growth. In a laboratory
study, breast tumors in animals given flaxseed shrank by 50 percent
in seven weeks.
Flaxseed has two additional cancer-fighting secrets. It's a rich
source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, which
appear to limit the body's production of chemicals called
prostaglandins. This is important because prostaglandins, in large
amounts, can "speed up tumor growth, " says Bandaru S. Reddy, Ph.D.,
chief of the division of nutritional carcinogenesis at the
American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York."

From Tina - Aug. 8, 2007
I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer of April 2006. About
halfway through chemo, I started seriously looking at what
alternative program I was going to do to keep the cancer away. I was
very happy to find the Budwig protocol and started it about 5-6 weeks
after my last chemo. I refused tamoxifen and arranged with my
oncologist to do my PET scan after four months, so we could both see
if my alternative program was working. Now, I know that I was a bit
short-sighted since it often takes longer than that to get a cure
with Budwig. However, for me, I was cancer free at that time and
was able to continue to refuse the tamoxifen.
If you do a google on ground flaxseeds, and tamoxifen, you will find
that the ground flaxseeds have much the same effect AND they don't
decrease in effectiveness as chemical estrogen blockers will do.
As a footnote - about three months ago I was not sticking to the
protocol very well. The pain in my hip came back with a vengeance one
morning. I spent a day having a pity party, and then got back on the
protocol very carefully. I figured I would give it another chance
before I called my doctor. It was with great relief that my pain was
reduced within a couple days, and practically gone within a week.
While having the pain return was scary, it was also a blessing in
that I got to prove to myself - when the pain went away - that this
protocol REALLY DOES WORK!!! (yes!)

"Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It
binds to the estrogen receptor so the strong estrogen cannot. Because
of this, the cancer cannot grow. Flaxseed is a weak plant estrogen.
Because of this, it binds to the estrogen receptor just like
Tamoxifen. But since it's a "weak" estrogen, it's not strong enough
to cause the cancer to grow, but it does block that receptor
so the strong estrogen can't do it."
Arlyn, I hope you and others find this information helpful.
