Omega 3 the Budwig way - Dr. Johanna Budwig spent 40 years researching and curing people of many forms of cancer in Germany using a combination of cottage cheese mixed with linseed oil, as you will see from the articles. She found that the wonders of the Omega 3 fatty acids contained in linseed oil are only truly utilised by a sick body when they are mixed with cottage cheese.

A simple recipe is to purchase a 500g=500mls tub of low-fat cottage cheese, empty this into a appropriate container mix with 200mls of cold pressed organic linseed/flaxseed oil, and about four heaped desert spoons of Jalna biodynamic full cream yogurt, then using a mixing wand, mix thoroughly until there is no visible trace of the oil(the formulae is by volume, 1 part oil to 2 parts cottage cheese). Of course many other interesting flavours can be added at this stage to create a vast array of taste sensations. If you would like to make it more runny, so you can pour it over the salad then just add a couple of spoonfuls and mix with your standard salad dressing until you get the desired consistency. The good thing about not adding herb type flavours is that you can also use it on your muesli in the morning.

If your need is great, i.e. you're facing a life threatening disease, then I suggest you follow Budwig’s protocol to the letter. However if you just want to make sure that your intake of omega-3 is optimal for a healthy lifestyle than this is what I do.

My Method - I have not got around to making my own cottage cheese and do not want to use the processed products with their additives. I mix up 1ltr of the Jalna biodynamic full cream yogurt that also contains organic honey, Fig.1 using a hand-held electric mixer, 1kg Yofhurt, 100mls of Org. Linseed oil 50mls of Org. Sesame seed oil(which is also rich in the compounds that make the Omega-3 more bio-available), Fig.2, I also add 50g of ground Linseed , I grind myself and add immediately to the mix. The Linseed meal also serves the function of making the mix become a little thicker and easier to spread, a great butter substitute. Because you're not having the milk solids ie cottage cheese then you reduce the amount of Flax seed oil. I find this mixture to be extremely yummy and can be used on your sandwiches in your muesli and as a ice cream substitute, or just a snack, when you're standing there looking into your fridge feeling a bit peckish.

Extract - “When you mix together ... cottage cheese and linseed oil in your blender the fat becomes water-soluble” and thereby immediately available for use by the body. In this manner, the necessary “spark plugs” are provided for cells to “breathe”, optimally detoxify and function, even more so when additionally combining the flax oil cottage cheese mix with an optimised sugar-free diet devoid of respiratory poisons [substances which inhibit cellular respiration] but containing much raw organic food (compare excerpts from Dr. Budwig’s Flax Oil As A True Aid and Nutrition page)”.
