A crucial part of the Budwig Protocol is the Budwig Mix, a potent blend of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese. Dr. Budwig’s discovery of the importance of cellular oxygenation and toxin elimination led her to this simple yet transformative combination.

Our cells rely on oxygen for their survival and proper function. In the absence of adequate oxygenation, cells become susceptible to dysfunction. Dr. Budwig’s pivotal discovery shed light on the link between cellular suffocation and toxin accumulation, emphasizing the need for a diet and lifestyle that promote oxygen delivery to cells while reducing toxic burden.

Flaxseed oil emerges as a central component of the Budwig Mix thanks to its rich reservoir of omega-3 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids play a crucial role in cellular health and function, exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that safeguard against cancer development. However, on its own, flaxseed oil faces a challenging obstacle on its journey to cellular uptake – the way in which the small intestine absorbs flaxseed oil.

Thus, the addition of cottage cheese, a seemingly simple yet indispensable partner in the Budwig Mix. Cottage cheese acts as a facilitator, enabling the absorption of flaxseed oil by cells. It is believed that the protein constituents of cottage cheese enhance the bioavailability of flaxseed oil, thereby facilitating its assimilation into cellular membranes.
