Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Healing Diet & Protocol

Canine lymphoma healing testimonial

Budwig diet helps heal a scottie’s “incurable” cancer and gives him a new lease of life

My beautiful young scottish terrier was diagnosed with Multicentric Lymphoma, stage 3, over two years ago.

Not knowing what to do we gave him chemo but his vet said that this will give him about a year and that we should look for something else. Since she is a traditional vet but also practises Chinese medicine she was going to look for something to save Wallace and asked me to do the same. I found your website and found about the Budwig diet and decided to try it. I wrote to you for advice and you kindly answered to try the diet.

A Scottie with lymphoma eats the Budwig diet

I had gotten all the books in English and 2 months before he finished the chemo he started on the diet. He finished his chemo about a year and a half ago and the tumors had shrunk about 70% but were still there.

The tumors kept shrinking with the diet, and he regained all the weight and hair he had lost. About a month ago his blood tests were normal for the first time since diagnosis. So now his vet says she thinks his lymph nodules may be of normal size. He is full of energy, super happy and as stubborn and adorable as a scottie can be. He is the most popular dog in the neighborhood and loves going to the beach with me when I go surfing. I love my dog very much and I THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART FOR SAVING HIM.

He eats 1.5 tablespoons of oil with twice as much organic cottage cheese a day, half of it in the morning and the other half at night. He eats two thirds of vegetables, beets, carrot, broccoli, sweet potato, beans, pumpkin, peas, etc. and one third brown rice. For protein he eats 1.5 boiled eggs a day and ocasionally fish which he loves. He also eats about a raw carrot a day for snacks. [Sergio wondered if he should lower the flaxseed oil dose at this point and I suggested he look at How long did Dr. Budwig advise a cancer patient to stay on the “strict” Budwig diet & protocol?.]

My scottie before and after

While I have some pictures of him when he was sick you can’t really tell much of a difference, he was thinner and his lymph nodes were big and hard but were well disguised by his long hair. The big difference was that when we went to the park he would just sit there and now he’s walking and running around. He would sleep a lot during the day, now he comes with me to the office every morning and is awake and has a crazy look in his eyes. He is happy, full of energy and playful and above all like a good scottie he lets you know who’s boss at all times. Another change is that before the diet he had a skin allergy, now he is fine, flaxseed oil is good for allergies. His skin and hair are so much better.

I am sure he knows all we did to save him and is very grateful. Please let me know if someone needs information for their dog [please write to Healing Cancer Naturally and I will forward your message to Sergio].
