Lung cancer healing
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) from fish and algae oils cure UPS
by copyright © 2006 & 2019 Healing Cancer NaturallyWhile Dr. Johanna Budwig did not advocate the use of fish (or cod liver) oil and preferred flax oil as the prime source of omega-3 fatty acids (see Budwig FAQ question 6 for the reason why), the following successful case study reporting the healing of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (formerly called malignant fibrous histiocytoma)[1] of the lung is included here since it supports Dr. Budwig’s (and others’) thesis of the healing power of the ingestion of the right type of fats.
The Journal Nutrition & Cancer published a remarkable case study in volume 52, 2005, pp. 121-29:
A 78-year-old male was diagnosed with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with multiple lesions in both of his lungs. The patient refused the proposed conventional chemotherapy and chose a nutritional approach instead.
Centered around an increased omega-3 fatty acids consumption while decreasing ingestion of omega-6 fatty acids, his daily dietary intake was estimated at 15 g of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with a ratio of linoleic acid (omega-6) to long-chain omega-3 fatty acids of 0.81.
Result: Slowly but consistently, the bilateral nodules decreased in number and size as revealed by pulmonary x-rays and serial computed tomography scans. No side effects from the ingestion of large quantities of fish & algae oils rich in EPA and DHA could be observed, and the patient continues to show no symptoms of cancer.
Addendum by Healing Cancer Naturally
Personally I don’t advocate the ingestion of fish/cod liver oil or any other foods based on the suffering of more highly evolved animal life forms, particularly for ethical reasons. Also compare Vegetarians live longer.
Footnotes
