About
The Director
|
Hi,
I'm Ursula Escher, creator of the
DVD "A Day in the Budwig Diet". I
embarked on this project after losing
my father to brain cancer in November
of 2009. I created this DVD out of
necessity but also frustration.
Frustration
from my father's passing. Frustration
from the ills of the "cancer
industry". But also, frustration
from the lack of an easy to follow
guide to any of the well-established
natural cancer therapies. |
After
being diagnosed with a Cerebellar Glioma in
August 2008, my father was pressured by his
doctors to get treatment IMMEDIATELY.
This included the 3 usual recommendations...
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Though
I had been a natural health advocate
for most of my life, I now had to figure out
the BEST WAY to help my father
with his cancer. I researched all of the natural
cancer therapies that I could find and ultimately
chose The Budwig Protocol.
I
also knew others like the Gerson Protocol
have also shown themselves to be very effective,
but Dr. Budwig's methods were by
far the easiest to follow.
Her work was very extensive and the success
of her protocol is very well documented. It
was also the most PRACTICAL of the
well-established cancer therapies. When you
have to balance the stresses of everyday life
while following a natural cancer protocol,
SIMPLICITY IS KEY!

More
About My Father
I
remembered urging my father to avoid surgery
on a Friday afternoon, but before I knew it,
he went into surgery the following Monday.
Right after undergoing intensive brain surgery,
he went from being a normal, able-bodied 56
year-old, to basically being bed-ridden. He
then suffered from seizures and overall malaise
for weeks and wasn't able to carry out simple
day to day tasks. It was also appalling to
see what he was being fed in the hospital.
The food was bad even for healthy individuals,
let alone a person who is ill.
He
was given a prognosis of "3 months to
live" by his doctors so I literally forced
him to try Dr. Budwig's Protocol after he
came home from the hospital. The healing effects
were immediate and truly amazing as I was
able to see this first hand. His energy returned
after a few days, his digestive system re-normalized
after decades of issues, and he was feeling
great overall. The most amazing thing is that
his hair started to grow back with color after
being completely white for over 5 years. After
a few days, he was able to get out of bed,
walk around with little assistance and carry
a full conversation. THE CHANGE WAS
TRULY DRAMATIC!
Unfortunately,
his doctors continued to pressure him into
chemotherapy and radiation saying that he
had no chance for survival without them. They
claimed everyone does "fine" and
that everything would be "ok". So
the next thing I knew, he was taking chemotherapy.
I feel that the doctor's position of "authority"
was more convincing than anything else. Although
I put my career on hold and devoted my full
attention to his case, my opinion as an independent
health researcher and therapist, did
not carry as much weight.
I
mean, let's face it, who am I to "challenge
the opinions of medical doctors?"
Yet, there is strong evidence from mainstream
medical journals and doctors that support
my position on the harmful effects of chemotherapy.
After
the first days of treatment, it was clear
to everyone that chemotherapy was causing
his health to decline. He was again confined
to the bed and could not carry out the simplest
of tasks. Soon after, he fell into a coma.
He remained bed ridden for months and couldn't
speak, swallow or chew food anymore. On November
2009 he passed away after being transferred
to the hospital.
For
everyone that witnessed this, it was clear
that the Budwig Protocol was improving his
health. It was even clearer that chemotherapy
was the main cause of his decline. It
was really night and day. Most of
my family members who were in favor of conventional
therapies now understand the devastating toxicity
that comes with them.
It's
unfortunate that it had to end this way,
but I really hope that my experience and research
can help others overcome their struggles with
cancer.

dedicated the DVD to my father.
May you be in peace dad, we miss you... |

The
5 main things I learned:
- There
are many cancer therapies out there with
different levels of established credibility.
Choosing one that has a solid
history of success is very important.
- Practicality
is just as important as credibility.
An overly complex protocol is useless
if it is too difficult and stressful to
follow. We actually started with the Gerson
Protocol, but it was quite difficult to
do and very expensive! However the Coffee
Enemas are truly a great addition to the
Budwig Protocol it seemed. Here is another
interesting fact. Dr. Max Gerson learned
about Dr. Budwig's work only after his
book was already published. So he did
not include her body of knowledge, though
he was thoroughly impressed.
-
Many resources out there don't
actually tell you what to do
on a practical level. Rather
they discuss the problems with the
current medical industry, and explain
the history of natural cancer protocols
(which has it's place of course). I've
read dozens of books that tell you little
of what to actually do. This just caused
more frustration as I mentioned earlier.
(Important Note: Many have wrong information
too)
- Because
of the independent nature of these natural
therapy books, many of them are
NOT well-organized and/or complete.
This makes them very difficult and stressful
to follow. Who has the time to sit and
figure things out during an emergency-type
situation?
- As
many people also agree, much
of Dr. Budwig's books were very poorly
edited. Though they consist of Dr. Budwig's
own scientific work, they are compilations
translated from German and edited by other
people, not Dr. Budwig herself. There
are also terms and concepts in the books
that are not so clearly explained. Many
other authors also focus on just her main
ingredients (flax oil and cottage cheese)
as you probably may have noticed too,
and much of her extensive protocol is
OFTEN LEFT OUT! Many
people consider the Oil-Protein
Diet (OPD) to be the entire
protocol. However, in Dr. Budwig's own
interviews, she explains that there are
many other components to her protocol
that are very important.
Yet
as I mentioned earlier I chose The Budwig
Protocol because it was the most "practical"
of the well-established cancer therapies.
But most importantly, IT IS TRULY
THE EASIEST TO DO! This is so valuable in
times of hardship.
The
Making of the DVD
Out
of necessity in helping my father,
I spent many months consolidating practical
information. Since I'm a professional artist
I produced easy to follow, illustrated guides
- this way everyone could learn quickly! I
felt that getting diagnosed with cancer is
bad enough, having to read volumes of books
to filter out what to do just makes things
worse. So the illustrations were a
really valuable resource to my family! They
even still refer to them now.
After
my father's passing I realized that others
could also benefit from the illustrations
and simple guidelines that I had designed
along the way. So with permission from The
Budwig Foundation in Germany, I decided
to create a complete DVD guide. In the DVD
I personally walk you through an entire
sample day on the Budwig Protocol.
In fact, it probably took me several months
to learn all of this, fill in all the gaps
and make sense of it all. BUT IN THE
DVD YOU'LL WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN
UNDER 1 HOUR!
I
truly hope that this DVD can be of help to
you and your loved ones. We would also love
for you to share your insights and experiences
with us in our online
community.
Wishing
you health and success.
Your
friend, Ursula
