At the heart of the Budwig Oil-Protein diet is Flax Oil and Cottage Cheese or Quark (protein).  As mentioned in Part 1 of this posting, the protein makes the the essential fatty acids more soluble and hence better absorbed by the body.

Before going any further, many people will be saying, “yes, but I have a dairy allergy”.  So did my Michele, but our therapist told us that good done by the flax oil would over-ride the damage of the dairy.  She was allowed to take dairy, but only with the flax oil.  However, I would suggest that you discuss this with your own doctor or therapist if you have any doubts.

Dr Budwig has written a receipe book which contains quite a variety.  One recurring part however is the following key ingredients mixed together in a blender:

        3 tblsp of Flax Seed Oil
        100grams of Quark
        2 tblsp of milk

This gives a slightly thick yogurt like consistency which is the base for numerous uses.  It can be sweetened with a tblsp of honey and used as a topping for breakfast (on top of fruit and blended mix of linseeds and honey (we found this topping a bit thick and added a little extra milk, but try to your own taste). 

You can make an type of ice cream from it by adding honey, fruit, fruit juice concentrate, cocoa or whatever you can dream up to flavour it.  We found banana was one of the best, but its up to your taste and imagination.  I would often double or treble the quantities and use some for breakfast and some for ice cream to cut down on time and work.

If you add honey, fruit, ice and extra milk, you can make a fruit smoothie out of it. 

If you are trying to keep sugar free, then you might like to replace the honey with stevia, which is very sweet and all natural.

With an extra tbsp of milk, 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp of mustard and some salt, you can make a mayonnaise substitute.  Several variations are given in the recipe book as well as recipes for chutney.

You can experiment for yourself too.  Bearing in mind that food should not be cooked in oil (even good oils get damaged by over heating), I used to prepare meat and vegetables in a frying pan with a lid and a small amount of water.  The lid creates extra pressure which allows the water/steam to reach higher temperatures than it can at atmospheric pressure, though you do need to keep a close eye to make sure it does not boil dry.  I would then add the basic blend (quark/flax oil/milk) with grated cheese, salt and herbs to make a white cheese sauce (not in Budwig’ recipebook, but we liked it).  I would heat it only until the cheese melted as overheating would damage its healing properties. 

Another alternative was to use it as a curry base (many curries use yogurt which is similar consistency).  Again cook meat and vegetables as above, adding curry spices.  When it is cooked add the mix (with more spices if you like and again heat it but don’t boil it.

As mentioned in my previous posting, this diet is used by people with a wide range of chronic diseases and by athletes looking to improve their energy level for maximum performance (and not have to worry about drug testing).  It is versatile, quite tasty, and relatively cheap compared to other diets (especially cancer diets). 

I would recommend Budwig’s recipe book to anybody interesting in maintaining their health, or anybody that fears that they might be in a risk category.  I still use it regularly myself, especially the ice creams as I can make up a big quantity and freeze it . . . . yes I’m lazy    Sadly it’s too late for my Michele, but it might not be for you or your loved one.  If you only buy one book this year, I recommend that you make it this one.
