This week has been really active with the Bill Henderson Protocol Facebook group I moderate. You can usually chat with me there throughout the week, and one of our favorite topics right now is recipes for Dr. Budwig’s Cottage Cheese/ Flaxseed Oil mixture. There are many tasty ways to make it, but my favorite lately has been this one: The Vanilla Cinnamon Budwig Smoothie!

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!”

For the first few years of eating the cottage cheese/ flaxseed oil mixture, I had a really hard time with the texture and oily fullness of the mix, but this smoothie is a perfect way to get around this. Maybe you can give it a try this week and let me know what you think!

NOTE: As the Budwig mixture oxidizes quickly, please consume within 15 minutes of blending.

Vanilla-Cinnamon Anti-Cancer Budwig Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup organic 1-2% cottage cheese
• 6 Tbsp flaxseed oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 4 ice cubes
• 1/2 cup unsweetened organic almond milk (check for no carrageenan)
• 7-10 drops liquid stevia (or to taste)
• Note: You can half the cottage cheese/ flaxseed oil portion of the recipe to cut calories, but it will reduce the cancer-fighting effects of the smoothie.

Instructions

1. Mix the Budwig mixture FIRST using the directions here: Use 2/3 cup organic 1-2% cottage cheese or quark and combine with 6 Tbsp organic flaxseed oil with an IMMERSION (STICK) BLENDER. Blend until completely smooth and no presence of oil (can take 1-2 minutes.) This step is especially important if you have cancer. Mixing these two ingredients separate from other ingredients allows them to chemically combine and makes the flaxseed oil water soluble and absorbable by all cells- cancerous and healthy.
2. Let that sit for 5 minutes and during that time add the almond milk, ice, vanilla, cinnamon, and stevia to a Vitamix or counter top blender and blend until frothy. You may want to add the ice cubes gradually to prevent the mixture from stalling and getting too icy.
3. After the almond milk, ice, vanilla, cinnamon, and stevia are completely blended, scoop the cottage cheese/ flaxseed oil mixture to the blender and blend together on the lowest settings. Some proponents of the Budwig protocol recommend mixing by hand, but as long as you blend on low and only for a few seconds, the integrity of the chemical reaction should not be affected.
4. Drink within 15 minutes to avoid oxidation of the flaxseed/oil mixture and to benefit from Dr. Budwig's research. Tip: I like to sip mine from a straw.
