Budwig protocol
The Budwig protocol (or Budwig diet) is an anti-cancer diet developed by Budwig in 1952. The diet is rich in axseed oil, mixed with cottage cheese and milk, and meals high in fruits, vegetables, and ber. The diet also avoided sugar, animal fats, salad oil, meats, butter, and especially margarine. She claimed that within 3 months, some patients on this diet had smaller tumors, some had no tumors left, and all felt better.
[1][2][3]

Evidence for the eectiveness of the Budwig diet is limited as most research has only been done on cell culture studies and experiments on rats and mice with inconsistent results. Such studies suggest that axseed may possibly be benecial for cancers in mice. Some small studies have been done in humans which suggest axseed may be benecial in reducing the risk of prostate cancer but more studies would be necessary [1] There is no reliable evidence available for the eectiveness of to conrm any eects.
