03/28/2006: "Eating a Life-Saver"

You have got to love the Internet. Through much of my career I have taught, written and presented on the virtues of the Internet. It is an amazing information searching and sharing tool. I am not sure what I would do if I had this disease before the Internet.

This past weekend my friend Tim Landeck sent me a URL to the Omega Academy whose program has had success with cancer. On this site, you will find a link to a “Diet Protocol.” As you know, I have read a ton on diet and its connection with cancer and there are many approaches and claims. This one however, sounds credible and is backed by some impressive research and studies.

Germany 's premier biochemist, Dr. Johanna Budwig (6 time Nobel Prize nominee), began in the 50’s researching the benefits of essential fatty acids in our diet. She is now best known for her research on the benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins in the diet. Not only has it been shown to keep away cancer, it has also cured it. And it has assisted patients struggling with diabetes, heart disease, lung trouble, arthritis, stomach ulcers, etc. It is so simple (and even tastes good) how can you not try this.

Her formula for a long healthy life is simple. Mix two tablespoons of Flaxseed Oil with ¼ cup of Low Fat Cottage Cheese.

You can find organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil in health food stores like Whole Foods in the supplement isle in a refrigerator. Get a smaller bottle so you can keep it fresh. Also keep it cold and in the dark.

Thanks Tim!
