Guest guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Still pondering how I might be able to use flaxseed oil which has in the past given me digestive problems (regardless of the brand used, refrigeration etc.). 1) I saw a brief, unexplained mention on one site about rubbing the oil (along with olive oil as a carrier) on the skin to be absorbed. It sounded as if this was an idea from one of Budwig's books. I'm wondering, though, how the oil would activated properly without the combination of the sulpherated protein. 2) In suggestng sulpherated proteins other than cottage cheese, I wonder why egg yolks aren't recommended. I would assume them to be superior to cottage cheese in this regard. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She actually recommends a flax oil/Quark combination. I'm not sure how Quark and cottage cheese compare in protein and fat content. I've never used cottage cheese, however I've used Quark and what I know is it's very low-fat. I believe that's why she recommends it (well, and that she is german and quark is readily available in germany). Most of her recipes in the book are for sauces and spreads - using the flax oil/ quark combination. At a quick glance, I don't see eggs mentioned at all in any of her recipes. It would be interesting to know her opinion on eggs. I imagine they are not recommended for the flax oil/quark recipes because of the higher fat content in eggs, and plus eggs just wouldn't mix that well with flax oil (!).

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Mary, <I imagine they are not recommended for the flax oil/quark recipes because of the higher fat content in eggs, and plus eggs just wouldn't mix that well with flax oil (!). Thanks for your thoughts. The fat content explanation sounds reasonable. I was also toying with the idea of adding the oil to my daily salmon--which might make sense since it already has omega 3 in it--just to avoid the dairy which I have trouble digesting (and since I have digestive problems with flaxseed oil that would make for two problems!). But I read on one website that Budwig also suggests skimmed milk, and I hear that raw milk is a whole different thing from pasturized, so I could try that first as a possibility. But I have her book on order and will hold off any decisions until I read it. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Mary, Re: the hemp oil, I'll look into it if I can't manage the flaxseed oil in a new recipe-context, but I'm trying first to stay as much as possible with the Gerson recommendation--which is this case is for flaxseed oil (but not the seeds), but for some reason doesn't include the Budwig recipe--though he did in fact respect and accept Budwig's work. Re: the raw milk, it is organic and as it happens I'm no better with goat's milk than cow's! Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind takes away from that flat, heavy flavour flax oil has. Why not just use another oil? If your reacting to flax oil, why use it?. Have you seen Udo's oils - which have flax oil amongst others in it?. Ot there's hemp oil, which is superior to flax oil. The other option is flax seeds. << But I read on one website that Budwig also suggests skimmed milk, and I hear that raw milk is a whole different thing from pasturized, so I could try that first as a possibility.>> I don't use diary, however I would stay away from the commercial grade milks. There are organic milks, although they are pasturized. But again, if you react to the milk - why use it?. I've just seen goat milk out on the supermarket shelves - I know it's been in health food stores for awhile, but I guess the commercial industry is getting demands for it.
