Muesli Recipe

The BUDWIG Muesli recipe

The flaxseed oil and cottage cheese (quark) mixture – also known as Budwig Muesli – (together with the anti-cancer diet) is the mainstay of Dr. Budwig's protocol.

Step 1: Blend 3 US tbs (UK dessert spoons) of flax seed oil with 6 US tbs low-fat Cottage cheese or Quark. (Maximum 2% fat. If there are too high fat content the oil will not mix in and the muesli will not bring the oxygen to the cells.) Do not mix by hand. Use ONLY a hand-held immersion electric blender for up to a minute on low speed. If the oil does not disappear you may need to add 2 or 3 US tbs of milk or natural yogurt. The mixture should be like rich whipped cream with no separated oil. Do not add anything else until the 'whipped cream' stage has been reached.

Step 2: Separately grind 2 US tbs of whole flax seeds in a coffee grinder and stir into the creamy flax seed oil and cottage cheese mixture. Note: Ground flax seeds become rancid within 20 minutes, so eat the recipe immediately and do not grind or store seeds ahead. Only grind flax seeds when they are needed. For people suffering from colon or rectal cancer it may be best to not use the ground up flax seeds but instead add another tablespoon of flax seed oil to the mixture.

Step 3: Add (optional) 1 teaspoon of honey (best is raw, unpasteurized honey as it contains all the health-giving enzymes). Try blending in a quarter of lemon – the whole lot excepts the pips, or the juice of half lemon. This takes away any trace of oiliness and gives a nice fresh taste that counteracts any nausea that some have with the mixture.

You can also add organic raw nuts such as ground hemp seed, ground almond, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and brazil nuts (but not peanuts). For variety try vanilla, cinnamon, or shredded coconut. Some people enjoy it with a dash of cayenne pepper... be creative!

Important!

Flax seed oil must always be kept in the refrigerator or it will keep for 12 months in the freezer. Arrange to purchase as directly as possible from a manufacturer, high lignan organic quality. (To Panama is imported by NAH Center)

Cottage cheese/quark can be frozen if necessary.

Low or 0 sodium cottage cheese is recommended – rinse if it is needed.
