Learn About The Potent Flax Oil And Cottage Cheese (FOCC) Combination

Flax oil and cottage cheese have been used for their individual health benefits for a number of years. They are both nutritious and tasty.

In the 1950s, these two received worldwide fame through a diet regime created by the German cancer researcher Dr Johanna Budwig. The combination has been used ever since to help with various health conditions, mainly cancer. She recommended eating a diet with flax oil and cottage cheese together for multiple weeks.

The original thesis of Dr Budwig, in layman’s terms

According to an article in The Nest, Dr Budwig theorized that cancer occurs when cellular membranes in the body become clogged and dysfunctional. With healthy membranes gone, communication and exchange of nutrients between cells would be reduced.

Dr Budwig believed that using flax oil and cottage cheese (FOCC) together, certain compounds in the cottage cheese would make the essential fatty acids in the flax oil more easily absorbed into the human body and its cell membranes; this would help restore cell communication and important nutrients would start getting into the cells again. This would then deter the cancer from developing further, and even start reversing it.

This FOCC combination forms an important part of what is commonly called the Budwig Protocol.

Health benefits of flax oil

Flaxseed oil is rich in nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids. It also has great quantities of lignan compounds, which have female hormonal qualities. This has been found in many recent studies to be helpful against certain types of cancer that are estrogen-related, such as colon cancer, breast cancer and skin cancer. Flaxseed oil also helps to reduce inflammation in the body.

Health benefits of cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a great source of protein as well as low in fat. It is often added to weight loss diets because of these reasons and also because it is very versatile and can be eaten together with lots of foods. Some forms of cottage cheese also contain healthy bacteria called probiotics, which are very effective in helping digestion as well as boosting the immune system. You should choose the ones that contain ‘acidophilus’ and ‘bifidus live cultures’ to make sure you receive this health benefit.

Cottage cheese is a very good source of calcium, selenium, phosphorus and riboflavin, which are all important for a healthy immune system. They also help to improve muscle growth and repair bones.
