I guess I should have mentioned this when I posted about flax oil in the Budwig diet.
Dr. Budwig's diet calls for large amounts of flax oil, but it is always mixed thoroughly with high-quality protien sources like cottage cheese. If taken alone, flax oil is not available to the body, and may be how it causes problems like the ones mentioned. However, when it binds with the protiens in cottage cheese, it becomes available to the body and allows greater oxygenation. This might explain why her diet has helped so many cancer victims.
