Friends,
This is long, but I promise you, it is worthwhile. Into the body of
the article, you will read about Dr. Budwig's work with terminal
cancer patients, and more.
I could have simply given this reference about the combination of
flaxseed oil and sulphurated protein, but it is such a "jewel" of an
article, I wanted everyone to be exposed to it -- up close. My
personal information about being on this combination for three years
without ever having read or known aboutit before has been given on
this site before. However, I'll never cease to be amazed at finding
out about some terrible problems I had been having for several years
being discovered -- then discovering this work and realizing why
those same problems were "on the mend" instead of "just beginning."

PS On the following site, there are five different articles about
flaxseed, and all of them definitely worth reading.

Oil-Protein Combination:
Two Nutrients We Need--
Also Need Each Other
Early Scientists on the Right Track
Since 1842, scientists have known there is a definite connection
between good health and supplementing the diet daily with an oil and
protein combination. Although in those days the reasons behind the
benefits were not understood, with today's technology modern
scientists have been able to accurately pinpoint the workings of the
oil-protein combination on the human system.
Researchers obtained results from their experiments, which
consistently proved that oil and protein belong together in
nutrition, and work together in the body. Sensitivity to toxins
increases if oil and protein are not given together, and in the right
proportions.
In the early 1900's four scientists undertook the study of the
relationship between oil-protein combinations and human health in
separate research. Thunberg knew the importance of the sulphur-rich
proteins, and knew that these proteins work in combination with a
functional partner in biological systems. Although he searched for
this ideal partner, he was unable to isolate it due to the fact that
the methods needed to accomplish his work had not yet been invented.
Meyerhof discovered that the fatty acid linoleic, and sulphur-rich
proteins work perfectly together to help fatigued muscles recover
from exercise and exertion rapidly. Unfortunately, in those days
linoleic acid was not known to be essential, and he did not recognize
the far-reaching significance of his finding.
Szent-Gyorgyi discovered that sulphur-rich proteins, when paired with
linoleic acid, take up oxygen. But he, too, lacked the biochemical
techniques to prove the identity of the components.
Warburg showed that a fatty substance was required to restart
oxidation when it was low, as is the case in cancer and diabetes. He
tested a number of different fatty acids, but was disappointed when
the expected results did not occur. Although he was familiar with
linoleic acid, it didn't occur to him to try it.
All four of these researchers were Nobel Prize winning scientists
who, stumped by the insurmountable technical difficulties, missed the
solution they were so close to. Each turned his attention to other
scientific questions of his time, and the almost solved problem was
shelved and forgotten for years.
Puzzle Finally Solved
Dr. Johanna Budwig of West Germany entered the picture in the mid-
1950's. She was a meticulous woman of genius, with a broad
perspective, which included physics, chemistry, biochemistry,
pharmacology and medicine. She recognized the loggerhead in research
that had halted previous scientists. Dr. Budwig undertook
painstaking, meticulous and time-consuming work to develop new
techniques. The breakthrough techniques she developed are so
sensitive that the fatty substances from a single drop of blood can
be accurately separated and the substances in it identified. Her work
allowed the earlier scientists' leads to be followed and expanded
upon. Pieces of the unsolved puzzle began to fall into place.
Using her new techniques, Dr. Budwig began working with diseased
human patients, supplementing their diet with oil-protein
combinations. She chose flaxseed oil because of its rich
concentration of essential fatty acids, and skim milk for the
sulphurated protein source. Later, she substituted low-fat cottage
cheese in place of the skim milk because of the higher incidence of
sulphurated proteins and because the consistency is more palatable.
Dr. Budwig found that neither the essential fatty acids nor the
sulphur proteins do the job alone. Only when consumed in combination
with one another at the right ratios does the patient register
benefits. This is due to the fact that the essentials need to bind to
protein before the body can assimilate them. This has been born out
repeatedly in all of Dr. Budwig's research, as well as other studies.
Based on the information she knew about oil and protein working
together, Dr. Budwig fed cancer patients flaxseed oil and low-fat
cottage cheese and monitored the changes, which occurred in these
patients. She found that the yellowish-green substance in their blood
was replaced with healthy red pigment, hemoglobin. The phosphatides
returned and the lipoproteins reappeared. She also found that tumors
receded and disappeared, anemia was alleviated, vital energy
increased and vitality returned, the patient recuperated. It took
about three months for these changes. During this time, the symptoms
of cancer, diabetes, or liver disease also disappeared.
Due to her years of research and major discoveries, Dr. Johanna
Budwig has helped many thousands of people live longer, healthier
lives. She is revered as the world's foremost authority on the
importance of supplying the diet daily with the essential fatty acids
found in flaxseed oil and the companion sulphurated proteins.
