A Tape Transcription by Clifford Beckwith

A
few years ago the National Cancer Institute
set up a project to test four materials on
tumors in rats. They were citrus, licorice,
garlic and flax. The project was abandoned
because of " lack of funding" even
though the doctor in charge knew that Flax
was a very effective cancer fighter. Incidentally,
Al Carter says that when mice are used in
experiments with cancer, a special breed of
mouse with a weak immune system is used, because
mice with a normal immune system cannot be
given cancer.
My
sister's sister in law passed away from cancer
recently. She had tried a nutritional approach
and asked her oncologist whether he felt there
was any value in nutritional approaches. "There
probably is," he replied, "but I
will never admit it and I'll never use it."
My
family doctor told me in 1994 that he was
impressed with how well I was doing but was
cynical unless he saw the results of objective
tests. There will never be objective tests,
because in our society the purpose of objective
tests is profit. If flax oil were officially
found to be effective, it would destroy the
financial structure of the drug and oncology
industry. That will never be allowed to happen.
Now
I may be naïve, and I may yet die of
cancer, but as of July 9, 2001, I have already
lived about 10 years longer than my doctor
really expected. He told me a couple of years
after I was diagnosed that most men who had
the condition I had did not make it 6 months.
In
October 1994 a woman called us from Sandusky
Ohio. She had ovarian cancer and a blood count
of 1000. She began using the oil somewhat
but also said, "I told them I wanted
the strongest chemo they had. I want to feel
those cancer cells die." Later we heard
there was quite an improvement. In May 1995
I heard she'd gone back to work. Later we
learned there had been a real set back and
she'd given up the Flax oil as she didn't
feel it was helping. She passed away that
summer.
Over
the last five or se we have realized that
where Flax oil and chemo are both used, length
and quality of life seem to be increased but
death from cancer may still occur. I wonder
if the chemo doesn't largely destroy what
the flax oil builds. The chapter on cancer
treatment past and present in Al Carter's
book "The Cancer Answer " really
helps to understand the situation. Where chemo
and/or radiation has been abandoned or not
used, results have been far more favorable,
virtually 95% where the oil is used properly.
A
few years ago, through our church, we learned
of a man who needed prayer. He'd been a missionary
and pastor. Shortly thereafter I met his sister
and wound up sending her brother a tape. He
began to use Flax oil. His sister told me
a short while later that he was doing great
and the doctors were amazed. Then the word
came that he was regressing and we learned
that he'd switched to Flax flakes. I contacted
him and learned that when he was first diagnosed,
he wasn't expected to make it very long. He
switched back to Flax oil. He has since passed
away.
In
April 1995 we heard from a man who's father
had been in UT Hospital twice in 10 days and
was not expected to live through the night
because of advanced pancreatic cancer. However
he rallied, got home, found out about Flax
oil and began to use it. We have not talked
with him directly but heard that in August
1995 he had a check up and the oncologist
said, "we must have made a mistake in
diagnosis - you couldn't have had cancer".
Through a mutual friend we learned that in
February 1996 a check up showed that everything
was clear.
In
September 1996 we learned he was back in the
hospital and the doctors were giving him a
new drug they felt would add a year to his
life. Someone who knows him felt there was
a strong possibility that he had quit taking
the flax oil. He passed away soon after that.
It seems that if Flax oil can build an immune
system that will eliminate cancer cells, it
must be continued.
Early
in the summer of 1995 we heard from one of
our good friends in Morristown that her cousin's
husband, an ex-service man, had an advanced
case of lung cancer and there wasn't much
that could be done about it. They wanted us
to send a tape, so we did. Later, we talked
to them at length on the phone. Her husband
began using Flax oil 4 Tbs. Day.
That
November we saw a segment on TV from the Thompson
Cancer Survival Center which said that advanced
lung cancer is incurable but there is a new
drug now that won't make one's hair fall out
but will extend life, have fewer side effects,
and give a better quality of life.
The
next night we had a call from our cousin's
friend. He said that he had just had a physical.
The doctor read the X-rays and found the cancer
gone. "I'm living proof that advanced
lung cancer can be cured." This is the
first of an annual phone call.
I'm
aware of the fact that when a diagnoses of
cancer is given, panic sets in and one really
doesn't know what to do. I'm of the opinion
that Flax oil should be used as a preventative
for cancer by keeping up the body's supply
of Omega 3.
Recently
the mother of one of my friends was talking
with a lady at church about cancer. The other
lady said, "I had cancer, but I don't
have it anymore. I went to Mexico and a German
doctor put me on Flaxseed oil".
In
March 1995, Nancy, the school secretary, went
to the hospital with gall bladder problems.
Before she left the hospital she had been
operated on to remove a malignant tumor from
her liver. She immediately began using Flaxseed
oil and cottage cheese. In October she had
another check up. A few days later she got
the verdict, " everything is fine. See
me next year." As of October 1996, everything
is normal.
By
this time, July 10, 1998, I know of at least
62 people who have had cancer and now are
apparently recovered. That is a very strong
percentage of success. I'm sure that if these
successes had come about as a result of procedures
developed by cancer researchers and cost a
million dollars in drugs and services by specialists
they would be shouted from the rooftops.
Near
Christmas, 1995, we received a Christmas card
from the widow of one of my former shipmates.
A note was enclosed that stated she'd had
cancer and was operated on, but they hadn't
been able to get it all. She told the surgeon
she didn't want chemo or radiation and he
referred her to a doctor who put her on flax
oil. She said she's doing well and felling
fine. That is the first I've heard of an American
doctor suggesting or recommending the use
of Flax oil. In her Christmas letter of 1997
was a note which said, "I'm doing fine.
Thank God for doctors willing to suggest alternative
methods!"
In
May 1995, a young woman called us from Anderson
County, TN., and said, "I'm terminal,
I'm 35 and have 3 young children. My husband
has deserted me. I've tried using cottage
cheese but I'm allergic to dairy products
and can't use it. Is there anything else that
will work?" We'd learned two weeks before
that soft tofu will work fairly well and we
passed that on.
We
heard no more until March 1996. We heard from
a friend that the young lady had nine tumors
in her chest and they had shrunk to pinpoint
size. She was almost well. However the oncologists
persuaded her that she couldn't get well using
Flax oil and that she should go to the Vanderbuilt
Medical Center and undergo further chemotherapy.
She was given a shot of experimental chemo
and died, leaving 3 young children orphans.
A
short time ago we received a call from an
RN in charge of a nursing home. She said "Dad's
in his early 60's. He was told nine months
ago that he couldn't live three months without
chemo but he refused it. Now he's in a lot
of pain and takes his anger out on Mom. She
gives it back and I'm in the middle".
After talking with us, she ordered the oil
immediately.
A
few weeks later she called and said, "I've
got to tell you this. Dad's used the oil for
10 days, 3 Tbsp. A day. Already the pain is
gone and today he told me this is the first
day in a long time he hasn't felt sick. Today
he has hope, and that's more than anyone else
has been able to accomplish."
Of
course, we have no real idea of what is happening
elsewhere. Earlier versions of these tapes
have gone all over the country. It isn't illegal
to give information as long as we avoid giving
specific advice.
One
lady in Blaine TN, got a tape for her mother.
She was not expected to live long as her cancer
was quite advanced. Today the doctor told
her, "Everything looks great. See me
next year."
Several
weeks ago a man called us from South Bend,
Indiana. He said, "You'll enjoy this.
I have a 13 year old dog. He has cancer. He's
eyes were dull and he was so weak he couldn't
lift his leg. I should have put him to sleep
but I didn't want to. I put a Tbsp. of Flax
oil and a half cup of cottage cheese in his
bowl and he wolfed it down. I did that three
times a day for ten weeks. Today he's running
all over the place, his eyes are bright, his
coat is shiny and he's gaining weight."
That was the 2nd dog I'd heard of in 3 days
that showed improvement from using Flax oil.
The other is owned by my cousin's daughter.
Two
years after I was diagnosed with cancer another
teacher at Washburn was found to have very
serious cancer. The doctor gave her 3 to 5
months. She wouldn't consider doing what I
was doing because the doctors didn't tell
her to. For 2 years she went through rounds
of chemo, with the drug being changed as the
previous one wore out. (Chemo kills good cells
as well as cancer cells, but the hope is the
good cells regenerate faster.) Finally the
doctors said that they had done all they could
do. The immune system was gone and the only
thing left was to notify the doctors as the
pain got worse and they would prescribe a
stronger pain killer.
At
last she began to use Flax oil but with the
companion nutrients instead of cottage cheese.
She went back the next month for blood tests
and the white count was going up and the antigen
count had dropped from 1000 to 700. The doctors
were mystified but 3 days later they called
and told her they were encouraged by the improvement
and wanted her to go back on chemo the next
week. She did and died a short time later.
To
me, this is an example of the real conflict.
When things which can get people well oppose
those things which provide the most income
it is hard for me to believe that people's
well being has first priority. As long as
things which provide the most income are also
things which get people well, there is no
problem.
Recently
a lady came to the greenhouse in Augusta run
by my niece and nephew. She told my niece
that her brother, 43, had been diagnosed with
cancer of the pancreas and liver and given
but a short time to live. My niece gave her
a tape, and she and her mother went to her
brothers that night.
He
immediately began using 4 Tbsp. of oil a day
and in three and half weeks his count went
from 560 t0 280. Three and a half weeks later
it was 165. 100 is normal. He had a standing
appointment with his family doctor but was
a week and a half late. The doctor assumed
he had died. The upshot of it was that the
doctor wanted a tape to give to a lady in
his church who had terminal breast cancer.
However,
we have heard in recent days that the brother
also began using tea from a Japanese mushroom
and things have taken a turn for the worse.
Somehow it has poisoned his system. The family
doctor had told him previously that it was
the first time he'd seen a count come down
when pancreatic cancer was involved. We learned
a short time later that he had died from the
effects of the mushroom poison. When properly
prepared it may have value but I read in the
Prevention magazine that if it is not prepared
properly it can be dangerous.
Recently
I learned of a lady with an ovarian cyst that
was malignant. A date was set in three and
a half weeks for further examination and determination
of the best course of treatment. Meanwhile
she began using Flax oil heavily. When the
day came the doctor seemed to be taking a
long time with the examination. She thought,
"How awful can this bee?" Finally
the doctor said, "I can't find anything
wrong.."
One
thing we've learned lately is that some diabetes
is caused by a lack of Omega 3 in the system.
When Flax oil is used in cases like that the
need for insulin may change and a doctor needs
to monitor that.
We
were asked by a friend to send a tape to his
son who's wife was badly off with cancer.
We have just learned that the daughter-in-law
had cancer through her lymphatic system and
her brain. She used 4 Tbsp. Of oil a day and
today the tests for cancer are normal. The
doctors can't figure out what's happened and
she is not saying anything. However, her husband,
mother, father and sisters are all using Flax
oil for prevention.
In
late February a doctor got on the Internet
and said that people were using Flax oil for
cancer and they were dying and the oil was
a farce.
Another
doctor got on ABC 20/20 and said we ought
to eliminate the quackery in cancer treatment
and stay with standard methods.
As
far as the use of Flax oil is concerned, people
are not dying when it is used properly, and
many of those using the oil have been given
up by those using standard treatments. One
of my friends received a Christmas card last
year with a note that a cousin, 77, had found
he had a PSA of 83 in September. He used nothing
but Flax oil, cottage cheese and fruit and
it had dropped to 13 by December. They were
thrilled.
We
have a friend in Bristol, TN., who operates
a wig shop and much of her business is the
result of cancer patient's using chemo. She
has shared tapes with anyone interested. One
day she called us, all excited, and said that
she just heard form a friend of hers in Florida
who has stomach cancer. She'd just had the
first checkup since she began to use Flax
oil and the tumor had shrunk 2 inches in diameter.
This
August [1996] one of my friends wanted a tape
for a lady in his church. She is 62 and was
seriously ill with breast cancer and other
involvement. One morning I called her and
she said she'd seen the oncologist the day
before and he told her she couldn't live more
than 4 to 6 months. She said as far as she
was concerned personally it didn't matter.
She was ready to meet the Lord but was concerned
for the ones left.
The
oncologist wanted to use chemo to shrink the
mass and operate to prevent and eruption but
said it would not extend her life nor improve
the quality of life. After much prayer she
decided against the chemo. The oncologist
called two days in a row very upset at the
refusal and she agreed to have a checkup in
mid-September. The doctor did some bloodwork
and then told her he had a drug that strengthens
the bones and could give her another 2 years.
Then, looking at the floor he said that as
he expected the count was going up. It had
been 83, now it was 105. He still wanted to
use the Chemo.
After
more conversation he told her that he could
do some other things as she recovered. The
nurse told her that she had more problems
than she realized. She now has used the Flax
oil 9 weeks at 4 Tbsps day. She's been feeling
good and her color was improving at 7 weeks.
Sunday
October 13, she told my friend at church that
she felt good, still had some problems but
was improving. Then she said that according
to the doctor's expectations, by this time
she'd be in bed with people waiting on her
and close to the end. As it is, she is enjoying
life and Praising the Lord!
At
this point, July l998, I want to update this
account. It may have some real significance.
After
making rapid improvement, she apparently got
tired of cottage cheese, which is understandable.
She shifted to yogurt. This seems to work,
but yogurt has only one third the amount of
protein and I don't know how much she used.
Around Christmas 1996 she was taken to the
hospital for radiation on a place in her backbone.
It didn't help. A massage of some type was
done on her back that almost killed her. She
got pneumonia and almost died. She was sent
home and placed on hospice care. Her daughter
told me later the doctor had told the hospice
nurse that her mother couldn't last thirty
days.
At
this point she couldn't sit up in bed for
more that a few minutes. Now she began to
use the protein again the way it should be
used. On the following Easter Sunday she drove
to the Sunrise Service. I heard later that
she was driving around Knoxville and felt
elated that the tide had turned.
Then
she again slacked off on the protein and went
down hill. Now she tried the companion nutrients
and again showed some recovery However, she
did not fully recover and passed away in the
spring of 1998.
At
the time she was put on hospice she was also
put on narcotic patches for pain. She lived
26 months with the narcotic patches. One doctor
told me that if a healthy person were on narcotic
patches for an extended period of time there
would be damage to several vital organs. "Of
course," he said, "If a person is
going to die very soon it doesn't matter."
In
December of 1996 we learned of a man in Knoxville
who was incapacitated with lung cancer. His
sister was aware of the effects of flax oil
and got him to use it at four Tbsps. a day
but with Companion Nutrients instead of cottage
cheese. He'd rather die than use cottage cheese.
After Christmas 1997 he had a checkup and
was found to be all clear. All that was left
was a little scar tissue.
It
does seem to me that if researchers were more
interested in getting people well than in
making payments on the Mercedes and maintaining
a life style, that there is enough evidence
on this tape alone to warrant serious investigation.
Some
time ago a young lady in our Lions club asked
me to send a tape to her father in Kentucky
who had Prostate Cancer and I'd forgotten
about it. I asked her how her father was getting
along. She said, "Oh! Dad's had a complete
recovery and he's thrilled."
At
this point, March 25, 1997, I want to add
a few updates. Recently a lady called us and
said that her son, then 24 , had a seizure
at work. He had an MRI and then was taken
to a major Cancer center in the Southeast.
There
he was diagnosed with an untreatable Brain
Cancer. He was told he could probably make
it about three months. Make the most of each
day.
A
friend gave him a tape and he began using
Flax Oil about four tablespoons a day. After
three months he returned for a check up and
there appeared to be no change. A number of
months more passed. Yesterday we received
a call from the young man's mother. They had
just returned from the cancer center. They
were told there was no further cause for alarm.
The doctor had no explanation. The young man
didn't tell them that he had been using Flax
Oil. Most people don't. No one wants to be
ridiculed. Today, Aug. 17, 1998 I heard that
the young man is doing really well.
We've
just heard that this young man had a checkup
recently and finally asked the oncologist
if he knew of flaxseed oil and what he thought
of it. He told the young man that if he was
using flaxseed oil to keep it up and that
he used it himself.
We
have just learned on January 14, 1999 that
Mitch has just had another check-up and the
cancer has now disappeared completely. Praise
The Lordd!!
His
mother told me that six months ago a dear
friend of hers had been told that she had
about four months to live. She has been using
Flax oil regularly since that time and today
she appears to be well.
Recently
we heard of a man in Knoxville who had Pancreatic
Cancer. He had heard a tape and began using
six tablespoons of Flax Oil a day and was
clear in four months.
Two
days later I received a call from his sister
in law. Her husband, the man's brother, had
a similar condition. He was losing weight,
was getting weak and was the color of a pumpkin.
He followed a similar regimen with the oil,
and according to his wife, is today the picture
of health.
Recently
a man called us from Rockford, Tennessee.
His wife had Ovarian Cancer with a count of
238. 35 or below is normal. He said that the
doctor had given them no hope at all. He said
there was a chemo which would add some months
to her life. She began using flax oil at three
or four tbsps a day. A few months later her
husband called and said they had just come
from the doctors. The count was now down to
8. The doctor wanted her to take more chemo.
She said she would if the count went up.
Recently
while undergoing a physical we were talking
to a lady who told us that a friend of hers
was trying an alternate method of cancer treatment
and was doing great. It turned out to be the
lady whose situation we were just describing.
Recently
we heard from a friend of ours about a young
man they knew who had developed cancer. He
was told that he couldn't make it four months.
He had read in a book about using Flax Oil
and began using it. Six months later he seems
to be all clear.
My
cousin knows a lady in Ohio who has Leukemia
who has been using Flax Oil and seemed to
be well. She quit using it and in time there
was a recurrence. She told the doctor that
she didn't want Chemo. She was given some
chemical under another name, became upset,
threw it out and went back to Flax Oil and
today is again free of symptoms. I know there
are different types of Leukemia. Some seem
to be helped and some are not faring as well.
Incidentally,
we now know of four people who have apparently
recovered and then stopped using the oil.
After some months there was a recurrence.
All we can guess is that they felt this was
a medicine like an antibiotic and once the
symptoms were gone forget it. They didn't
go back to it and died. It would appear that
this material enables the body to fight Cancer
and must be kept up.
In
mid April 1997 a man in Opalika, Alabama had
Prostate Cancer so advanced he couldn't walk.
The doctor had called the family together
and told them he couldn't make it through
the night. He had started using Flax Oil and
by July seventh was out riding around.
Very
recently a woman we've come to know found
she had Breast Cancer. She had undergone three
rounds of Chemo and after each one, as I now
understand is normal, the white count is taken
to see how far it has gone down. Then she
found out about the Flax Oil and began to
use it. She took two more Chemo treatments
but now instead of going down the white count
continued to go up. The tumors are shrinking
and she is excited. She discontinued the Chemo
and we just heard on Jan 11, 1998, that the
tumor is continuing to shrink and they expect
it to be gone by the February Check up
In
November 1997 a man called from a neighboring
town. His fiancee had just been diagnosed
with a rare type of Bone Cancer for which
nothing could be done around here. The following
Sunday night she was anointed and prayed for
at her church. He said that he believed she
would be healed but didn't know how God would
do it. He said that Monday morning someone
handed him a tape.
I
now know of seven doctors who are using this
material themselves and some on members of
their families. We now know of over seventy
five people who have seemingly recovered using
Flaxseed Oil and are hearing of new successes
each week.
For
all this we give God the Praise and Glory!
We
did not intend to do anything like this. It
started with my hating to write a long letter
to a friend and deciding instead to talk the
message into a tape. Then someone else wanted
to hear it. As we shared it we learned more
and began updating.
While
I have concentrated on Cancer there is abundant
evidence that the Omega three is very effective
in the case of lowering Cholesterol and aiding
recovery from Heart attacks.
There
is no monetary gain on our part from these
tapes. Our only motive is a hatred of seeing
people die when it doesn't seem to be necessary.
We
are helping distribute information and observations.
As is the right of each of us, what anyone
does with this is his of her own business.
It is now ten and a half years since I was
diagnosed and with standard treatment I would
have, according to my doctor's expectations,
been on the wrong side of the grass for at
least seven years with my wife financially
destitute.
On
March fifth 1998 we learned of a man in a
neighboring community who had cancer behind
his lungs and around the heart and aorta.
He was on chemo and was given little time.
He began using flax oil at four tbsps a day.
After a month he told me that his doctor had
told him that he seemed to be doing well.
About a month later his son came to get more
oil. He said that his father was weak and
that the only thing he was able to eat was
the flax oil and cottage cheese but he was
staying with that. His last chemo would be
in two days. A week later he called and said
that his father had died Friday.
They
had decided against any further chemo but
while they were talking to the doctor the
nurse came and got the father and administered
the chemo according to her schedule.
One
doctor felt he needed blood but the oncologist
said he had pneumonia and put him on antibiotics.
He died a day and a half later.
Then
the son asked the doctor if he could see the
X-rays as he wanted to know the extent of
the pneumonia. The doctor looked at the films
with him and said, "He didn't have pneumonia!"
Then the son said, "Where is the cancer?"
The doctor looked again and said, "It
isn't there!" The son told me that he
felt the flax oil had done the job but that
the chemo had killed him.
Last
winter a lady in our area contacted us. She
had listened to a tape and was interested
as her husband had a very advanced situation
with lung cancer. She was an RN. She told
me that she had had her husband buried but
now there was some hope. In a short time she
told me that she could see improvement.
One
day we received an account of some supportive
research that had been done at the University
of Toronto and I called her as I knew she
be interested in any scientific backing for
this approach.
She
told me that her husband was really going
down. She said he had been doing really well
but had decided that he wanted to add standard
treatment and had gone for radiation. He had
also started smoking again.
She
said that the doctor had told her that to
be smoking at the same time as taking radiation
was very dangerous. Her husband died within
a week.
We've
realized one thing very much. That is the
importance of using enough oil and staying
with it continuously.
With
each passing week we hear of new successes.
They probably would add little new to this
account but continue to emphasize the value
of what seems to be happening
Very
recently we have learned something which could
be important. A lady we have known for a long
time had been found to have colon cancer.
She was not able to do much other that to
sit and hurt. She began using flax oil and
before long seemed to have recovered and was
carrying on with normal activities. We had
understood at the time that after the first
three months the amount of oil that Dr. Budwig
recommended was one tablespoon per day. We
have recently learned that she actually recommended
a tablespoon per day per hundred pounds body
weight and there is a question whether the
amount of oil she was using was actually enough.
I
know that she had been put on Tamoxifen but
I don't know when. Some time later breast
cancer developed and a mastectomy was performed.
She continued with one tablespoon of flax
oil per day and later a mass was found in
the lower abdomen. There was an operation
to remove the mass. It was large and growing
rapidly. The lady in question was naturally
devastated by this development. She had a
lot of faith in her doctor and concluded that
the flaxseed oil was not good therapy for
her.
Recently
in a newsletter of an organization called
people against cancer, volume 4, number 2,
July 1998 there appeared an article entitled
"Should women with breast cancer play
Tamoxifen roulette?"
It
was stated that one of the side effects of
the use of Tamoxifen according to a Swedish
study with 1400 patients was a 575% increase
in the incidence of uterine cancer and that
these cancers were frequently "high grade,"
according to a study published in the Journal
of Clinical Oncology in March of 1994.
The
address of this organization is: People against
cancer, 604 East Street, PO Box 10, Otho,
Iowa 50569. Phone 515-972-4444, Fax: 515-972-4415.
AS
of January 3, 1999 there are some interesting
and significant updates.
A
Week ago we received a call from Maxine. She
had just had another check-up. It was fine.
Then her doctor told her he had just found
out he has cancer. She had not told him about
her use of flaxseed oil but now she told him
the full story of her use of it since June
of 1992 and her belief that it was responsible
for her remaining cancer free. Of course,
since May of 1992 she had done nothing else
in the way of treatment. She had given up
and decided to let nature take its course.
Of course, the doctor knew her history. Now
she told the doctor that she was no doctor,
but he had nothing to lose and he had better
get with it. He told her that he would.
We
know of a number of folks to whom doctors
are giving experimental drugs. At the same
time these folks are using flaxseed oil and
saying nothing. Some are doing quite well.
Of course, the doctors will attribute any
success to the use of the drugs while it may
be due to the flax oil. Doctors ignore results
that we are seeing on the excuse that they
are anecdotal and not the results of scientific
double blind studies. People who have cancer
know that the results are real and are not
about to ignore them. Those of us with cancer
cannot wait for the results of scientific
studies which will never be done. We "grasp
at straws" and where alternatives are
known that give hope and a promise of success
and can do no harm there seems to be no reason
they should not be used.
Legislation
had been introduced in congress to authorize
these approaches and came within a few votes
of passage but the medical and drug lobbies
were too strong. It might help to write our
lawmakers and urge passage of such legislation
in the current session. It does not seem logical
that the medical profession, in opposing this
type of legislation, is mainly concerned with
"protecting" the best interests
of the public.
I
have heard of one situation where a man's
girl friend was involved in a double blind
study and was one of those being given a placebo.
He found out about flaxseed oil and he has
her using it and telling no one. She is interested
in getting well. She may get well and those
on the experimental chemo may not.
One
man was found to have colon cancer and it
was decided to put a tube in the colon to
prevent the colon from closing instead of
a resection while a new drug was tried to
see whether it would help shrink the tumors.
He began using flaxseed oil at four table-
spoons a day and the tumors are shrinking
rapidly and he is feeling great. He found
the tube uncomfort- able and believes it was
expelled in a bowel movement. He is still
taking the pills.
Lately
we are reading about foods that are helpful
in prevention of cancer. Flaxseed is one of
those foods. I have read that the FDA has
approved the use of flaxseed as a cancer preventative.
In all such ref- erences to work with flaxseed
oil I have not seen one instance where it
is used with the sulfur based proteins which
Dr. Budwig found essential for consistently
successful results.
I
will add a word of warning. I don't know much
about diabetes, but I have learned that one
type of diabetes is caused by a lack of Omega
3 fatty acid. Where that is the case, the
use of flaxseed oil for cancer has also taken
care of the diabetes. We have seen that a
number of times.
However,
with another type of diabetes the use of flaxseed
oil can be very detrimental. If one has diabetes
and uses flaxseed oil it is very important
to have your doctor monitor the sugar levels
closely, and if there is any change, follow
his or her advice.
