“I want everyone to know that just because the doctors tell you that you are supposed to die, doesn't mean you have to die! There are ways to beat this horrible disease! The Budwig plan saved my life and I believe it can help others too!”
Kimball Louis

If you’ve already read Allan’s amazing terminal colon cancer cure testimonial, you will see that Kimball’s below report shows certain similarities with that given by Allan:

Both are fathers of an underage child/children (which gave them the strong will and a reason to live), both were determined to heal themselves, and both avoided the pitfalls of self-pity and procrastination.

In fact, a similar cancer cure story but which does not involve the Budwig diet can be read at Terminal cancer healed through focus on her children’s needs, determination and love. The reader interested in more testimonies to the power of the mind and spirit is referred to Healing Cancer & Your Mind and Spirituality & Cancer Healing.

My Budwig Miracle

“I have a story I am excited to share. I have esophageal cancer, one of the more deadly cancers you can get. The American Cancer Society said that in 2006, 14,550 US-Americans will be diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer and 13,770 deaths will result from the disease. Not very encouraging statistics.

I was first diagnosed in late 2002 and had my entire esophagus removed in 2003. Follow-up tests showed my cancer had reoccurred in May of last year. I was told that no matter what I did I likely would have only 2, possibly 3 years to live at best. In September I traveled from my home in Salem, Oregon to Houston, Texas to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for treatment. I did 6 weeks of chemo and radiation ending on November 3rd of 2006.

My follow-up scan and biopsy just a few days before Christmas showed that the cancer was still there and I was told that none of my options left were good ones. They had a surgeon look at my scans and he said there was still too much cancer there so surgery was not an option. I was going to die. I was offered more chemo but I was told it would not cure me so I declined.

As a 40 year-old single father with a 13 year old daughter, I was depressed. Determined to prove the doctors who had given up on me wrong, I started studying alternative cancer treatments. I spent hundreds of hours reading books, internet, anything I could get my hands on.

I found the Budwig diet and believing that the science behind it made sense, I jumped in with both feet the beginning of January 2007. I followed the diet to the letter but as a terminal cancer patient I was unsure if the diet would help me.

Tuesday of this week I had a PT scan here in Salem, Oregon, so my new, local oncologist could have an idea of where we stood. I met with him yesterday (Friday) to get the results. Fearful that the biopsy in December may have spread the cancer, I was extremely nervous!

The doctor walked into the room and tossed my file on the table in front of me and with a grin on his face said to me, "The scan shows absolutely no sign of cancer." I said, "You must be kidding me!" He said he couldn't explain it but the cancer that was there in December was not showing up on the scan they did this Tuesday. He said something could still be there but the fact that it was not showing up was good news.

I asked him what he thought happened and he said it didn't make sense and logically he couldn't explain it. He knew I was doing something "alternative" but has never shown an interest in it. He did say that whatever I was doing, keep doing it. He said he would do another scan in 6 months but I should be encouraged.

He may not be able to explain it but I am convinced that following the Budwig protocol to the letter as well as prayer and a good attitude had everything to do with this clean scan.

I must admit, I am a little surprised that this happened after just 7 weeks on the Budwig plan. Considering how bad the December scan looked and how negative the doctors were, I would have thought it would have taken much longer. Why doesn't this doctor want to know everything he could learn about my "alternative" method of dealing with my cancer? Who cares!

This is no time to let my guard down! I will continue to do what I have learned and I expect my scans to continue to be clean. The doctors can continue to shake their heads but I know what is responsible.

Thanks to everyone in [a Budwig support] group that has offered advice. You may have helped save my life! Those of you that are skeptical about this diet, I am proof that it can work on even the most discouraging situations. I spent Christmas trying to plan the last year or two of my life and now it appears I may have much longer than I or any of the "expert" doctors thought I would.

Go figure! NEVER GIVE UP!”

Also see the esophageal cancer case described under the sensational (and basically anticipating the Budwig diet) Lactic-acid-fermented food treatment for cancer according to Dr. Dr. Johannes Kuhl.

Last but not least, the book "Die Heilkunst von Morgen" [The Healing Arts of Tomorrow] by Erika Herbst reports that a man was healed of esophageal cancer simply by using flaxseed gruel and changing his sleeping and working place to avoid geopathic and technopathic stress.
