Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Healing Diet & Protocol
On Complementary Therapies & Treatment Modalities Compatible with Dr. Budwig’s Protocol and Natural Healing Approach to Cancer & Other Diseasesby Healing Cancer Naturally © 2006 While there are certainly former cancer patients who with determination, strong life purpose, love and/or the help of other mental, emotional, energetic or spiritual qualities and influences have healed just following the nutritional guidelines, components and general structure of the Budwig diet & protocol (compare Budwig Testimonials), Dr. Budwig herself encouraged patients to proactively employ other personally helpful natural and holistic treatment modalities, thus recognizing that an active stance may be required to optimally support and enhance the self-healing process of the physical body, and that the whole person or body/mind may need to be addressed and engaged in this venture. She writes in her book "Der Tod des Tumors (Bd. 2)" [The Death of the Tumor, Vol. 2] on page 143 on the subject of self-help and treatments she endorsed: "What other therapeutic measures are advisable, permitted, recommended? I always reply: Everyone should do what they can: cold water treatments*, hyperthermia**, homeopathy, phytotherapy (herbs)***, even psychotherapy, or sometimes even surgical intervention depending on the situation. However, anything that slows the natural vital functions is to be avoided, such as barbiturates and analgesics (pain killers). In addition to the oil-protein diet, the natural rhythm of life processes in waking and sleeping, rest and activity, as well as fresh air are considered important, as they reestablish the cytodynamics (cellular dynamics) in a biological (organic) manner." The fact that she highlighted the words "what they can" by putting them into italics underlines the significance she assigned to patients taking strongly proactive steps to further help themselves heal. She also advises while discussing the question of practising yoga and sports that "There is no one treatment that applies for everyone. The patient must also feel for himself what is good for him." See eminent holistic cancer treatment researcher Lothar Hirneise’s interview with Dr. Johanna Budwig (published in Cancer - The Problem and the Solution). Incidentally, Dr. Budwig herself used helpful adjuncts in the treatment of cancer patients who came to her, such as a device she developed in the 1960s, the ruby laser, as well as Eldi oils. Numerous detailed suggestions regarding complementary healing modalities which should be in harmony with the Budwig protocol can be found in the Budwig FAQ Question 67: Are there any self-administered supplements or protocols which can work in tandem with the Budwig diet? I'd like to add more weapons to my arsenal if I can do so without counteracting the Budwig plan in order to employ any and all self treatments I can to win my battle with cancer. Also see Does the Budwig protocol require additions such as supplements and vitamins? Is using different therapies with it, such as Essiac, beneficial to the Budwig diet?, Can Pau D'Arco and Essiac be used with the Budwig Protocol and on a related note the article Budwig protocol & life energies blockages: On the question why the cancer may come back when the Budwig diet is abandoned which I consider particularly important. * Hydrotherapy applications as popularized in Germany and other countries particularly by Pfarrer Sebastian Kneipp. ** Whole-body hyperthermia can be applied as simply as by taking hot baths (see Terminal Colon Cancer Cure Testimonial: Epsom Salt Baths) or as expensively (but according to reports I have heard apparently effectively) as via the use of the Far
Infrared (FIR) Sauna. (The far infrared band, while being invisible to human eyes [beyond the visible light spectrum] is part of the solar spectrum we receive via
sunlight.) Dr. Budwig wrote for instance in Der Tod des Tumors, Bd. II, re irradiation of cancer patients: “The sun is considered beneficial, as is additional support via red
light, including the red light of the ruby laser.” Another very Budwig-knowledgeable person believes that the Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna is one of the healing methods which
would be complementary (well compatible) and could help the success rate of the Budwig Protocol. As can be seen for instance from the above quote, Johanna Budwig
considered the red band of the solar spectrum to have a particular healing power (loosely quoted). Additionally, according to the same source, it might be useful to combine the FIR sauna with Eldi oil treatments. In this case, make sure to protect the
sauna from soiling such as by using a rubber mat cover on your seat. *** You can use any non-toxic herb with the Budwig protocol. Regarding quantities,
use according to traditional recipes and/or consult herbology manuals and practitioners (most herbs should have centuries of "testing" on humans behind them).
