Starting the Budwig Protocol

We still have much to learn about it, but today we added in the Budwig protocol...aka cottage cheese/flax seed oil diet. Although apparently one only needs to consume the mixture once a day...so it is more of a homemade supplement than diet plan.

There is a lot to learn...for example, taking Vitamin C therapy while taking the Budwig mixture cancels one another out. Also, one cannot use another high alkaline plan such as Ceesium Chloride with the Budwig.

What I do know is this protocol should help add weight back on. This past week Jesse did say he has gained two pounds...and perhaps it is because I have been making as many shakes for him as I can, adding in avocado.
The basic recipe for the Budwig protocol actually tasted pretty good.

6 T. organic low fat cottage cheese (Nancy's brand, or in the area, direct from Hershberger Farm)
3 T. Barleen's flaxseed oil
2 T flaxseeds, freshly ground
1 t. raw honey - we use Bucks, locally available at Crossroads Coffeehouse or Enchanted Valley Eggs - both of Cross Plains, WI

Use immersion blender to completely emulsify cottage cheese and flaxseed oil  ingredients until all oil is absorbed. Mixture looks like creamed cheese.

In a clean coffee grinder, grind flax seeds until very fine. This must be done fresh every time.

Lightly fold flax and honey into creamed cottage cheese mixture. It reminded me of cheesecake when I tasted it.

We served with fresh organic blueberries. Jesse thought it tasted pretty good, but did say he really appreciates the berries with it.  Our understanding is we only have to do this once a day, which is certainly much easier than juicing every hour. I will have to experiment and see what else we may do with the mixture.

Learning to Rebalance

As Jesse mentioned, eating raw foods can be quick...if we are simply grabbing an apple or eating carrots.  But there is much more to a healing protocol.  There are plenty of supplements.  We've created a list of what he needs to take morning, mid-day, night. Not to mention fitting in green tea, herbal tea with detoxifying milk thistle, Essaic healing tea, Arbonne Immunity & Anti Oxidant ..Some supplements need to be taken with fats for absorption, some before eating anything else...yep, it can be overwhelming.

The list helps...but an Excel spread sheet would be better to check it off each day of the week. Haven't had time...any volunteers?

In the morning Jesse needs to check off a few protocol items, make and drink his morning shake, make and take a salad for lunch, be sure he has enough GOOD water from home to avoid the chlorine/fluoride water in municipal systems found at work, pack walnuts for snacking...all while limping around. It's too much.  I can only imagine how much harder this would be if he were sick in addition to from chemo.

Tonight, planning ahead...hopefully tomorrow easier. I made both his breakfast shake, and one for lunch. Adding and blending in a number of the supplements so that he would not have to swallow tablet after tablet.

Morning shake goes like this:
1 c unsweetened Silk Almond milk
2 scoops Arbonne vanilla vegan protein
1/2 scoop Arbonne fiber boost
1 scoop full spectrum super greens food
1/4 avocado
Supplements:

1. 3 Curcumin Advantage Mercola Wellness
2. 1 Vit D3 by Platt Wellness
3. 2 Vit K2-7 by NOW
4. 1 DIM Plus by Platt Wellness
5. 1 Est-Less by Platt Wellness
6. 2 Arbonne Joint Support
7. 2 Jigsaw SRT Magnesium

Splash freshly squeezed lemon to keep avocado from oxidizing (or lime)

2 drops Collodial Silver liquid to prevent bacteria growth

1/3 cup frozen organic red raspberries

Blending all well with the Ninja, pouring into a shaker cup and placing in frig for morning. By the time all the green foods are blended with raspberries...it takes on this rather muddy look. Thankfully the vanilla shake, which is vegan, alkaline and low glycemic - does much in making this shake taste a whole lot better than it looks.

This leaves only the Beta glucan 1,3d to take first thing, Arbonne Anti-Oxidant Immunity Boosters with LypoSpeheric Vitamin C mixed in to hide the taste of the C gel, and the Arbonne Omega 3+, as well as Digestion Plus pro/pre biotics with 11 essential enzymes. All set out so Jesse knows what is left for the morning routine.

ONLY, right?!  If we start the Budwig protocol in earnest there will be more to do. I also heated up water in the teapot and poured over an Arbonne detox tea bag to cool in a mug. I then poured into a shaker cup, and have waters with a couple of Arbonne fizz stick drinks (high in ECGC anti oxidant), set in the frig to pack for work.

Posting the breakfast super immune and alkaline restoration shake on this blog...so that Jesse can review, Kyle can help make if I am not home at night, and we can team up as a family to restore, rebalance and renew a body in need.

In His healing presence,

Rita
