Strawberry Anti-Cancer Budwig Smoothie

I’ve been getting such great feedback from last week’s Vanilla Cinnamon Anti-Cancer Budwig Smoothie. Thank you for the sweet comments and messages. I know I am just so glad to have another tasty way to get such an awesomely cancer-fighting breakfast option down the hatch so it can do its thing!

This week I have another delicious anti-cancer smoothie for you. I actually “premiered” it at a HealingStrong Natural Healing Education and Support Group last Sunday here north of Atlanta and it was a hit!

The next day I got this message from the sweetest woman who was there with her husband who is healing naturally (after chemo) from a Stage 4 cancer. He was having a hard time with the Budwig mixture…until he tried the Strawberry Anti-Cancer Budwig Smoothie! This is what she wrote to me:

We tried it <Budwig mixture> with strawberries and it was a success! Someone is doing a happy dance!
We did mix the Budwig mixture first with the immersion blender and then added the milk, strawberry and stevia mixture by hand. A little more work but I’d rather play it safe. Thanks for this, you’re hero today.”

So ’nuff said. With that, I definitely think you should give it a try today!

Dr. Johanna Budwig:

For those of you not familiar with Dr. Budwig’s research on the relation between fats and cancer, here is a brief excerpt from a previous post I wrote explaining the science behind WHY this mixture is cancer fighting and healing all at the same time:

Dr. Budwig discovered the reason why our healthy cells become anaerobic in the first place. According to her, it is quite simple: Basically, in order for our bodies’ cells to process oxygen as fuel, they need certain enzymes to be present in the fat content of the foods we eat. However, because so much of the Standard American Diet (SAD diet) consists of chemically-treated, processed, sugar-laden, denatured foods, the necessary enzymes our bodies require for cellular respiration have been destroyed and in some cases even replaced bymanufactured fats (i.e. trans fats) which are completely useless to the body. Over time, this sets up a whole host of problems from heart disease, to skin and lung problems, to brain and liver problems, to diabetes and immune deficiency syndromes, to cancer and more! Simply put, to remain HEALTHY, our cells NEED to be able to process oxygen, and the Budwig diet provides this!…but HOW?

[The paraphrased science continues!] Dr. Budwig discovered that when she combined sulfur-rich proteins like cottage cheese with highly unsaturated fatty acids (rich in omega-3’s) like those found in flaxseed oil, the unsaturated fatty acids bonded molecularly with the sulphuric proteins. This bond made the flaxseed oil water-soluble, enabling it to be absorbed instantly and effortlessly through the cellular membrane. In turn, the instant flood of vital nutrients and essential enzymes to the cells (remember, the enzymes were what was missing in the first place) acted as a spark that re-ignited their ability to burn oxygen, thus restoring ALL cells to a healthy aerobic state – INCLUDING cancer cells! In other words, Dr. Budwig discovered that this simple mixture, in effect, allowed cancer cells to ‘breathe’ again, returning them to their healthy, normal state, and thereby ridding the body of cancer!”

Addressing Concerns About Calories and Staying True to Dr. Budwig…

I heard some concerns from a few “Budwig gurus” regarding high speed blending of the Budwig mixture and maintaining its chemical integrity so I’ve altered a few of my steps from last week’s post to stay closer to Dr. Budwig’s original methodology.

Another concern that was expressed by some of you was the 900+ calories this smoothie packs in it. Most of that comes from the flaxseed oil which contains large amounts of essential fatty acids (Omega 3’s) and will actually HELP you burn fat. Our body does not produce these on its own. That said, eating a mostly raw, plant-based diet (with optional and minimal healthy meats) in addition to the Budwig mixture is recommended by Dr. Budwig herself and is optimal for healing from cancer and preventing it from occurring in the first place.
