What is Budwig Protocol?
As long as I have ability to move around the room, I do get 7 hours sleep. Just not all at once. Recline to bed, bed to recliner. If I wanna knock myself out completely:
10pm 1 vicodin
11pm 10mgs melatonin
12am 1/2 cup of wine
1am 1 xanax
2am 1 benadryl
I wake up at 1pm without getting up once.
But I only do that rarely. Like when the inlaws are coming and I have to let MrG sleep in my room. Suffice it to say....inlaws from now on have to stay in a motel. That shit knocks me out but it does a number on my intestines.
The Budwig Protocol is a special scientifically formulated diet with different regimes depending on what you want to treat. The cancer diet is the most strict, but others are designed to target specific complaints. You can read up on it by googling Budwig Center or any of numerous websites discussing or commenting on the protocol. You probably would have to buy Dr. Budwig's books to get all the information and a full discussion on the science behind it.
For instance for Rheumatoid Arthritis::

The anti-cancer diet:
The Budwig Diet - Flaxseed Oil And Cottage Cheese Quark Diet
In December, Hombre and I visited some dear old friends in West Texas. We really thought it was the last time we would see the guy because he had advanced stage squamous cell skin cancer that had covered most of one ear, was moving down his neck and was in his lymph system. The doctors said nothing could be done short of amputating the entire ear, much of the neck muscle and then aggressive chemo. He had refused. But he did go on the very strict Budwig Cancer diet. And in six months he was cancer free. His onocologist couldn't believe it but told him Tommy, whatever you're doing, keep it up, because you are cancer free.
The center is quick to advise that what works for one may not be the right course of action for another and different people react differently. I decided to try it just because there were so many things wrong with me post surgery and after looking at it, figured it couldn't hurt me. And I honestly do believe most or all of that is improving and clearing up. My next round of blood tests should tell the tale. I do know that in three weeks it seems that I have more energy, less pain, am sleeping better, and I know my skin, that was a mess, is obviously improved. I'm doing the less restrictive protocol and I'm sold.
I would advise to follow their cautions about not combining this with other therapies though.
A quick look shows the Budwig diet cuts out fatty meats and sugar. I could probably do without the meats, but sugar? I drink tea all day and I don't much like honey.
Unless you are on the strictest cancer treatment diet, there are a few other sweeteners allowed but yes, sugar is a no no.
