BUDWIG APPROVED RECIPES

Dr. Budwig’s “Muesli” Oil Protein
Quark/Cottage cheese and Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil Mixture

 

  • Start with 2 tablespoons of low fat milk, the 3 tablespoons linseed oil, which you will mix together with a Wisk type mixer or electric stick type blender until nice a smooth. (an electric blender is preferred as you can be surer the oil blends well with all the other ingredients)
  • Next add 1 teaspoon of honey and mix all 3 ingredients well together.
  • Now slowly add the low-fat quark or cottage cheese 2 tablespoons at a time and keep mixing until it is mixed well, putting in a total of 6 level tablespoons of Low Fat Quark/cottage cheese (2% fat content or less)
  • In separate bowl put 2 tablespoons of freshly crushed flaxseeds that you have ground up with a coffee grinder and covered in honey.
  • Now put some fruit (berries, lemon juice, etc.) or nuts over the seeds and honey.
  • Then finally pour the mixture of Quark, honey and oil over the flaxseed and honey and fruit. That is the original way Dr. Budwig liked to prepare it for her patients.
  • (See Optional) for more things you can add to the Muesli mixture

FLAXSEEDS:  If you are not able to get fresh pressed flaxseed oil or you would like to benefit from the nutrition that the flax shell provides then you can make the muesli using flaxseeds instead of flaxseed oil.

  • Put 12 tablespoons of organic flaxseeds into a bowl and triple the amount pure water to cover the seeds and then soak overnight.
  • Using an upright stick type electric blender, grind and blend up half the amount of soaked seeds (you need to consume the muesli twice a day thus the other half of presoaked seeds will be used in the afternoon)
  • Add to 6 tablespoons of low fat (2% or less) cottage cheese or quark (organic if possible)
  • 3 tablespoons of low fat skim milk (avoid UHT milk) and blend with electric stick type blender for a minute.
  • Now add 2 teaspoons of raw honey (avoid if diabetic) and add to your taste fruit, lemon juice, etc. (see Optional)

 

Optional –Add the juice of ½ a lemon makes it very palatable and a great fresh taste.  Also, fruit, especially berries can be added.  Be creative and for a change some days try adding things like parsley, garlic, dried fruits, ground hemp seeds, ground almonds, ground sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds (do not use peanuts), vanilla, cinnamon, raw cocoa or grated coconut. Some prefer a touch of cayenne pepper… be creative! This muesli turns rancid after 20 minutes, so it must be ingested immediately.

 

Do not grind and store seeds to be used later.  The flaxseed oil must be kept cold, so store it in the fridge. Try to purchase directly from the manufacturer, (e.g. Barlean´s, N. America, or Linovita, Europe), or from an herbalist/health food shop. The cottage cheese/quark can be frozen if necessary.

FOR THE VERY ILL

Option  1 – Feed them 1 grated organic apple mixed with 1 tablespoon of Linomel (2 tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds,( better option would be to soak the flaxseeds at least 2 hours previously in 12 tablespoons of pure water and then grind with an upright stick blender),  1 teaspoon of raw honey and 1 teaspoon of milk(best to use pure oat, almond or rice milk).

Option 2 –Buckwheat soup – Serve a bowl of soup prepared from well-seasoned vegetable broth (do not use any soup bases or cubes they contain harmful additives), with added buckwheat groats.  Buckwheat groats should be cooked separately as a porridge or in a granular form

Option 3 – Wine cream – make the “Budwig Ice Cream” (see below) and flavor with 2 tablespoons of sweet wine, rum or cognac (not recommended for liver or pancreatic cancer)

Option 4 – 3 tbsp Linomel (or 6 tbsp freshly ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp raw honey and 1 tbsp milk powder – best to use pure oat, almond or rice milk instead of milk powder) and 3 tbsp Oat flakes and 150 cc freshly squeezed orange juice or white or red pure grape juice or cherry, black currant or blueberry juices.   Put oat flakes into cold water and bring to a boil.  Add Linomel to the boiling gruel (oatmeal porridge); bring to a quick boil, then let stand for 10 minutes to let it swell.  Pass the whole mass through a very fine sieve.  This gruel (oatmeal porridge) is

very healthy and can be combined with a little milk (goat milk best choice).  It is also helpful for digestion

Option 5 – 3 tbsp Linomel (or 6 tbsp freshly ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp raw honey and 1 tbsp milk (best to use pure oat, almond or rice milk) and 3 tbsp Oat flakes and 250 cc freshly squeezed orange juice or white or red pure grape juice or cherry, black currant or blueberry juices. Put oat flakes into cold water and bring to a boil.  Add Linomel to the boiling grue (oatmeal porridge); bring to a quick boil, then let stand for 10 minutes to let it swell.  Pass the whole mass through a very fine sieve.  This gruel is very healthy and can be combined with a little milk (goat milk best choice).  Now add 2 tablespoons of red wine, 1 oz of Vodka or cognac or Kirsch or rum.   Put in a soup bowl and cover with 2 tablespoons of Quark Flaxseed oil mixture and stir so the alcohol mixes in well with the other ingredients.

JUICES

  • 1-2 small apples
  • 1-2 small whole clementines (or similar)

Ingredients:

  • I large parsnip
  • 8 large carrots

Better Beetroot Juice

To make beetroot juice irresistible to even confirmed beetroot-haters, start with white, orange or striped beetroot as they are less intensely beetroot-y but still have lots of beetroot goodness.  it’s a great way to get used to beetroot and for those who already love beetroot this makes it even better.

This is smooth, rich, bright, fruity, fragrant, earthy and wonderfully smooth. I always hated beetroot as a child but now I LOVE beetroot juice!   If you don’t have all the ingredients just use the ones you do have.   Increase the ingredients you like and if you are getting a cold up the ginger – it works wonders.

Ingredients

  • Lots of raw unpeeled beetroot (traditional red, striped, white or orange) if they still have the stalks and leaves, be sure to include them.

BREAD SOURDOUGH

Here is how to create the “sour dough” so that you do not need to use yeast

1 cup (250 ml) of mother (flour, water and bit of honey left to ‘brew’ for a few days in a warm spot) keep in jar in fridge not freezer.

Bread Recipe

  • 5 cups (1250 ml) whole meal spelt flour (organic if possible, much more tastier and recommended)
  • 3 cups (750 ml)  millet flour or white spelt flour or whole wheat flour
    If you want to use whole grains only, use at least 3/4 whole wheat, spelt
    and/or kamut, and up to 1/4 or so rye or other grain flour. Whole spelt
    actually makes a great light loaf
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of coconut oil or olive oil (optional)

Mix everything up with enough warm water to make wet but not runny dough, about 2 cups, depends on flours, experiment a bit here. Leave to rise overnight.  Set some ‘mother’ aside in jar for next time in fridge. Pour rest into oiled, floured bread tin and let rise again then bake in low heat for about 1/2 hour then turn around so it doesn’t burn. Continue for another 15 mins. and let cool before slicing (if you can wait that long 🙂 or it won’t cut properly

VEGETABLE SOUP – Steamed

Steam random veggies, throw them in the blender, and make soup.

Add ground flax seeds to each bowl.

The potatoes are comparatively high calorie, but the rest of the veggies are extremely low calorie, so you can eat as much of this soup as you want. It’s a great way to include veggies that you don’t necessarily care for – it all tastes the same when it’s blended up. You could include grains as well – you would want to blend them so that you would have a liquid diet.

COLSLAW (Cabbage Salad)

  2. Mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider and a teaspoon of lemon.
  3. ½ teaspoons of Salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of xylitol and stir into the cabbage

SAUERKRAUT Homemade (and sauerkraut juice)

Utensils:
1] Fermentation container (glass, glazed crock, food grade plastic)
2] Plate to hold cabbage down (dinner plate, glass plate, oak plate, plastic)
3] Weight to hold plate down (water-filled jars, well-cleaned smooth rock).
4] Towel to cover fermentation container.

Ingredients:
1.5 kg (3.3 lb) cabbage (after outer leaves and cores have been removed).
1 tablespoon (15 ml) Himalayan Crystal Salt

Directions:
Discard outer leaves. Cut heads into four wedges. Discard cores. Shred. Put a layer of shredded cabbage in a suitable fermentation container. Add some of the salt, mix. Compress cabbage firmly (using clean fist) until salt and pressure draws juice from cabbage.
Repeat above step with another layer of cabbage, some salt and compressing it. Repeat until all cabbage and salt is in the container.

Juice must be at least 1″ to 2″ (2.5 – 5.0 cm) above the cabbage at while fermenting. If juice does not cover cabbage in that way add clean chemical-free boiled and cooled water with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of salt per 500 ml water.

Insert a dinner plate or glass pie plate into the fermentation container. The plate must be slightly smaller than the container opening, but large enough to cover most of the shredded cabbage. Weigh it down with jars filled with water or a well-cleaned rock.

Cover container opening with a clean towel to prevent insects and dust from entering. Check kraut two to three times per week and remove scum.

Keep kraut in a warm place.
The ideal fermenting temperature range is 70-75°F (21-24°C). The sauerkraut should be ready in 3-4 weeks.
If it is 55-65°F (13-18°C), it will take 5-6 weeks.
If it is below 55°F (13°C), it may not ferment.
If it is above 80°F (27°C), it may spoil.
