Abstract
Cancer cells release various antigens, some of which appear
in the urine. Oral auto-urotherapy is suggested as a new
treatment modality for cancer patients. It will provide the
intestinal lymphatic system the many tumor antigens against
which antibodies may be produced. These antibodies may be
transpierced through the blood stream and attack the tumor
and its cells.
The philosophy of cancer
Microbes were known long before the germ theory of disease
was invented. It was not the discovery of germs that
revolutinized medicine, but the invention of a philosophy of
medical explanation that permitted germs to be causative
agents of disease (1).
Burnet and Thomas (2) postulated that specific cell
mediated immunity may have evolved in vertebrates
specially for defense against the "enemy within" rather than
against infecting microorganisms and parasites. Most human
cancers appear to lack truly tumor-specific antigens. The
same neoplastic cell can express several different tumor
antigens.
For example, relatively cross-reacting
tumor-specific transplantation antigens have been
demonstrated in many chemically induced tumors (3).
Tumor-associated differentiation antigens are shared by
neoplastic and embryonic cells (4). The extent to which
human patients react immunologically against their cancers
has been a subject of much controversy (5).
Paul Ehrlich, in 1909, said:"I am convinced that during
development and growth malignant cells arise extensively
frequently but that in the majority of people they remain
latent due to the protective action of the host. I am also
convinced that this natural immunity is not due to the
presence of antimicrobial bodies but is determined purely by
cellular factors. These may be weakened in the older age
groups in which cancer is more prevalent" (6).
Tumor antigens in urine
Human melanoma cells express membrane antigens distinct from
those of the normal ectodermal counterparts (7).
Urinary-tumor-associated antigen (U-TAA) is one such
antigen. This high-molecular weight glycoprotein was first
described when melanoma urine was found to react with
autologous antibody (8).
The antigen has since been detected in the urine of 68% of melanoma patients. In addition, high
levels of U-TAA are found to correlate positively with disease occurrence in surgically treated patients (9).
Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) has become an important laboratory test in the management of prostate cancer. PSA levels can be as readily obtained from voided urine as from serum samples
(10). Quantitative urinary immunocytology with monoclonal antibody
(mab) 486p 3/12 proved to be valuable for diagnostic use in
bladder-cancer patients` urine, especially in the followup
of patients with superficial bladder carcinoma
(11). Quantitative urinary immunocytology is a general tool to
test the diagnostic usefulness of mabs, assuming that normal
and malignant cells differ in their quantitative expression
of a given antigen. Selective criteria for selecting mabs
for diagnostic approaches should ask not for tumor
specificity, but for different quantitative expression of
antigen in the tissues or cells in question.
Gastric juice oncofetal antigen determination, due to direct
shedding of antigens into the fluid around tumor tissues,
appears to accurately indicate the presence and degree of
gastric mucosal damage and to be to a slight extent
influenced by unrelated factors
(12). Patients` age, for example, modifies CEA serum levels (13). A monoclonal
antibody (mab) against a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line has been raised (14), which reacts with
sialosylfucosyllactoteraose (15) corresponding to the sialylated blood group antigen Lewis (a). The antigen
defined by this antibody, CA50, is elevated in the serum of many patients with gastrointestinal tumors (16), with a sensitivity for gastric cancer ranging from 20 (17) to 65% (18). CA50 (a tumor-associated gangliosidic antigen) levels have been determined by an RIA test in serum, gastric juice and urine of patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy.
Sensitivity and specificity were respectively 23% and 89% for CA50 determination in urines
(19).
Soluble forms of membrane proteins such as cytokine
receptors or cellular adhesion molecules (CD14, TNF
receptor, CD25, IL-6 receptor, IFN-รง-receptor and CD54) have
been detected in human body fluids. They may have important
functions in immune regulation by blocking receptor/ligand
interactions.
The human adhesion receptor CD58 (LFA-3) is
expressed on most cell types. A soluble form of CD58 (sCD58)
was purified from human urine and partially purified from
supernatant of the Hodgkin-derived cell line L428 (20).
Urinary organ-specific neoantigen from colorectal cancer
patients has been used to make a monoclonal antibody, BAC
18.1
(21). Organ-specific neoantigen originates in the colon
and is excreted into the urine, so the BAC 18.1 binding
levels in the urine may be a diagnostic aid for colorectal
cancer.
The polyamines spermidine, spermine and their diamine
precursor putrescine are ubiquitous constituents of
mammalian cells that are fundamentally involved in normal,
malignant and induced proliferative states.
The polyamines and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate-limiting enzyme
of the polyamine metabolism, were found to play an important
role in tumor promotion (22). The suggestion that polyamines
play an important role in colorectal cancer was confirmed by
studies that found elevated polyamine concentrations in
blood or urine (23) of patients with colon carcinoma.
Sensitivity of urinary polyamines for colon cancer were
highest for total spermidine (92.1%), acetylated putrescine
(84.5%), total putrescine (84.0%), N1-acetylspermidine
(79.3%) and N8-acetylspermidine (78.6%), but in all these
cases specificity was lower than 65%
(24). In patients with successful curative surgical treatment all preoperatively
elevated urinary polyamine concentrations markedly decreased
and returned to normal, whereas they were elevated and
increased further in patients with proven relapse of the
tumor and/or metastases in different organs
(24). The function of the CD44 gene is severely damaged, beginning
with the very early pre-invasive stages of tumor
development. This can be used as a means of tumor detection
and diagnosis both on solid tissue specimens
(25) and on exfoliated cells in clinically obtained excreta and body
fluids (26). Urine cell lysates obtained from patients with
bladder cancer can be discriminated from normal urine
lysates (27) using Western blotting with a monoclonal
antibody against the standard form of the CD44 protein.
Immunotherapy
Zbar and Tanaka (28) first reported on animal immunotherapy
based on the principle that tumor growth is inhibited at
sites of delayed hypersensitivity reactions provoked by
antigens unrelated to the tumor.They injected living
Mycobacterium bovis (strain BCG) into established
intradermal tumors and caused tumor regression and prevented
the development of metastases. For optimum therapeutic
effect contact between BCG and tumor cells was necessary.
The ability of tumor immune lymphocytes to localize
specifically to tumor offers a possibility for therapy which
has been utilized over the past several years (29).
The rejection of murine tumors expressing tumor-specific
transplantation antigens has been shown to be mediated
primarily by immune cells (30). Some 6 to 7% of transplant
recipients may develop cancer as a consequence of iatrogenic
immunosuppression
(31).
Studies on the ability of patient lymphocytes to lyse tumor
cells in short term (2-8 hr) isotope release assays have
shown that lymphocytes from cancer patients can generally
destroy only tumor cells from the same patient (32-34),
unless the effector cells are not cytolytic T cells but, for
example, Natural Killer cells or Lymphokine Activated Killer
cells, in which case neoplastic cells representing many
different types are sensitive.
Immunotherapy is believed to be capable of eliminating only
relatively small amounts of neoplastic cells and, therefore,
the failure to induce a regression in patients with
excessive tumor burden is not unexpected (35,36). One
approach of immunotherapy is to "xenogenize" tumor cells by
virus infection. Another is to culture tumor infiltrating
lymphocytes with interleukin-2 and reinoculate them into the
host with cytokines
(37). The introduction of recombinant
vectors expressing cytokine genes into tumor infiltrating
lymphocyte cells (38) or into the tumor cells themselves
(39) may enhance the migration of effector immune cells into
the tumor with consequent immunomediated control. The
considerable heterogeneity in the expression of tumor
associated differentiation antigens by cells within the same
tumor constitutes a problem for any immunotherapy, since it
facilitates the escape of antigen-negative tumor variants.
An alternative approach toward increasing the immune
response to tumor-associated differentiation antigens is to
treat the host to be immunized so as to abolish a
"suppressor" response. Such treatment can be provided in the
form of sublethal whole body x-irradiation (40), injection
of a drug such as cyclophosphamide (41), or by the
administration of certain anti-idiotypic antibodies (42).
Anergy is defined as a state of T lymphocyte
unresponsiveness characterized by absence of
proliferation,IL-2 production and diminished expression of
IL-2R (43,44). Most available data support suppression as a
mechanism of oral tolerance (45,46).
Immunological suppression is classically demonstrated by the suppression
of antigen-specific immune responses by T lymphocytes
(47,48).
Autoantigens
Oral administration of S-antigen (S-Ag), a retinal
autoantigen that induces experimental autoimmune uveitis,
prevented or markedly diminished the clinical appearance of
S-Ag-induced disease as measured by ocular inflammation
(49,50).
Gut associated lymphoid tissue has the capacity to generate
potent immune responses on one hand, and to induce
peripheral tolerance to external antigens on the other
(51-53). Both processes require antigen stimulation (53),
involve cytokine production (51) and might occur at the same
time - the first leading to potent local and systemic immune
responses, while the latter leads to systemic
antigen-specific nonresponsiveness (54).
The generation of acquired immune responses in the small intestine is believed
to occur in Peyer`s patches (51,55).
Orally fed protein antigens are found in the blood within 1
hr of feeding (56).
Peripheral tolerance is not induced
locally, but rather is induced systemically upon transfer of
intact antigen, or its peptides, into the circulation
(57-59).Oral tolerance may be induced by a single feeding of
a protein antigen (60,61) or by several intermittent
feedings (46,62). In order to test whether feeding on
autoantigen could suppress an experimental autoimmune
disease, the Lewis rat model of experimental autoimmune
encephalomyelitis was studied (63).
With increasing dosages of GP-MBP, the incidence and severity of disease was
suppressed, as well as proliferative responses of lymph node
cells to MBP. Antibody responses to MBP were decreased but
not as dramatically as proliferative responses. Thus it
appears that oral tolerance to MBP, as to other non-self
antigens (45), preferentially suppress cellular immune
responses. It appears that homologous MBP is a more potent
oral tolerogen for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
than heterologous MBP (64).
Tumor cells may escape immune recognition in immunocompetent
hosts by clonal evolution.Attention could be directed to
activate the resident immune effectors to break the anergy
or tolerance.
Urotherapy
Subcutaneous urine injections was practiced in 1912 by
Duncan (65) from New York under the name of auto-pyotherapy
for urinary infections, and in 1919 by Wildbolz (65) from
Bern for diagnostic purposes. Cimino (66) from Palermo
reported in 1927 on the use of auto uro-therapy for urinary
infections. Rabinowitch (67) in 1931 described this
auto-urine therapy for gonarthritis.
Jausion et al. (68) used this kind of therapy in 1933 for desensitization and
endocrinological problems. They treated with auto urotherapy
injections patients who suffered from migraine, pruritus,
asthma, urticaria, eczema, psoriasis, etc. Day (69)in 1936
treated patients with acute and subacute glomerulonephritis
by injection of an autogenous urinary extract. Sandweiss,
Saltzstein and Farbman (70) reported in 1938 that an extract
from urine of pregnant women has a prophylactic and
therapeutic effect on experimental ulcers in dogs. Shortly
thereafter the same group noted that an extract from urine
of normal women has a similar beneficial effect (71).
In 1926 Seiffert first described the construction of ileal
loop conduits for urinary diversion (72).
Bricker in the 1950s popularized the use of the ileal loop as a means of
supravesical urinary diversion following exenteration for
pelvic malignancy in adults (73). Ureterosigmoidostomy as a
means of urinary diversion was used widely from 1920 to
1955. It was this type of implant which Hammer first
reported in 1929 associated with tumor (74).
Peyer`s patches are immunocompetent lymphoid organs which
participate in intestinal immune responses (75). Epithelial
cells within the crypts of the small bowel are one of the
fastest dividing cells in the body and yet they show one of
the lowest rate of malignant transformation (76). Stem cells
in the mucosa of the small bowel can divide every 8 to 12
hours (77). Tapper and Folkman (78) demonstrated that
exposure of intestinal segments to urine causes marked
lymphoid depletion in the segments. These studies give
additional support to the idea that a lymphocyte suppressive
factor exist in urine (79). The continued presence of urine
bathing the intestinal mucosa appears to locally inhibit
regeneration of the Peyer`s patches.
Starkey et al. (80) detected in human urine a material that
is biologically and immunologically similar to epidermal
growth factor that causes proliferation and keratinization
of epidermal tissues.
The increased susceptibility of the colon to cancer
associated with the existence of an implanted ureter has
been theorized to relate to 3 factore: 1. The role of the
urine in the colon (81,82). 2. The mechanical effect of the
fecal stream on the stoma (83). 3.
The age of the anastomosis (84). Adenocarcinoma of the colon mucosa is a
recognized complication of ureterosigmoidostomy. The tumor, which develops adjacent to the junction of the ureter with the bowel, occurs 500 times as often as in the population at large and, in children so operated , 7,000 times as often as in all persons under age 25. The latency period is 5 to 50 years (81,85-87).
It is common knowledge that malignant tumors may disappear
spontaneously although very infrequently (88-90).
Usually it is accepted that this could be due at least partly to an
immunological reaction (91,92). Renal adenocarcinoma is one
of the cancer types in which such spontaneous regressions
have been described most frequently (88,90).
Urinary extracts from patients with aplastic anemia (93) and
idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (94) are capable of
stimulating megakaryocyte colony growth in culture, and when
injected into rats could also induce thrombocytosis in
peripheral blood and megakaryocytosis in the spleens of
these animals. Stanley et al. (95) demonstrated that rabbits
immunized with human urine concentrates from leukemic
patients developed antibody which neutralized the mouse bone
marrow colony stimulating factor in human urine and human
serum.
Preconclusion
Henry Sigerist said, more than 50 years ago:"I personally
have the feeling that the problem of cancer is not merely a
biological and laboratory problem, but it belongs to a
certain extent to the realm of philosophy... All experiments
require certain philosophical preparation. And I have the
feeling that in the case of cancer many experiments were
undertaken without the necessary philosophical background,
and therefore proved useless" (96).
Conclusion
Urotherapy is suggested as a new kind of immunotherapy for
cancer patients. Unlike the clonal immunotherapy the urine
of the cancer patients contain the many tumor antigens which
constitute the tumor. Oral auto-urotherapy will provide the
intestinal lymphatic system the tumor antigens against which
they may produce antibodies due to non-self recognition.
These antibodies may be transpierced through the blood
stream and attack the tumor and its cells.

The Budwig Anti-Cancer Diet -
"by Lynn Hinderliter
Middle Earth Inc.
When I learned that a CT scan had detected a large tumor in my abdomen, my first re-action was "where do I turn"?
I find this ironic, since of all people you would think I would have the process at my finger tips. This kind of news, however, is overwhelming: knowing that whether at this point one choosesthe correct path will determine life or death, can focus the mind wonderfully.
My first step was to discuss with my husband how we should react to this news. My proposal was to take a 3 month period, implement all the therapies I chose, and then check our results and make further decisions based on that. Fortunately, I have a supportive and unique husband, who also works along with me here at our business!
I had heard of the Budwig diet previously, but the concept of cottage cheese and flax poll affecting the outcome of a killer cancer -
nno, it sounded ridiculous.
Research changed my mind. Reading Dr. Budwig's books changed my mind. And the (admittedly ongoing - admittedly not the only thing I am doing) results confirm my choice. I want to put that in right here, so you know that the results to date are cautiously positive.
I also would like to add that this diet has applications beyond cancer:
Dr. Budwig recommended it to help most chronic diseases
My first criterion for a viable therapy, was that it not be something I was being sold. In other words, I was not looking for a solution or product based on testimonials, preying on the desperation of the cancer victim, nor something I had to pay a fortune to go to a specific clinic to experience.
This cut out a number of possibly valuable therapies: even with my life at stake, our resources are limited. My thinking was, there are no guarantees: if we spend everything, and then the result is still negative - the only thing that would have changed is that I would leave my family penniless.
At this point too, I think it would be appropriate to express my anger at the health system in this country , the only major industrial country where you have to be rich or old to get the treatment you need for a deadly disease.
I fall into the latter category, or probably even the CT scan
would have been beyond my means.
Dr. Johanna Budwig died in 2004 at the age of 94. She was a German Biochemist who became interested in the relationship between fatty acids, and chronic disease. She built her theory on the research of Dr. Szent Gyorgy, who won the Nobel prize in 1937 for showing that essential fatty acids need sulfur containing amino acids to carry oxygen to the cell, and that of Dr. Warburg, who won the Nobel prize in 1931 for proving that cancer cannot grow where oxygen is present in high enough concentrations.
Interview with Dr. Budwig The Budwig Diet - guidelines. Warning: total dedication required: I did not have time to do much else!! :0) The diet requires the elimination of
any sugar not naturally present in food
red meat
hydrogenated and animal fats
almost all alcohol (except the champagne)
all caffeine ( except the occasional cup of black tea before noon).
white flour, white rice and other denatured grains
preservatives, chemicals and processed foods.
Daily exposure to sunlight is important. Foods should be fresh, preferably organic and eaten raw where possible, or very lightly cooked. Cook fresh every day - no re-heating!
This is the routine:
First thing in the morning, a glass of sauerkraut juice.
For breakfast, green tea and either a Budwig smoothie, or the Budwig Muesli.
Midmorning -freshly juiced vegetable combo juice, : mainly carrot juice.
Before lunch: 2 tblsps ground flax stirred into a small glass of champagne
Salad with the Budwig dressing/Mayonnaise. OR steamed fresh veggies with nutritional yeast flakes and Budwig's OLEOLUX. Desert: one of her recipes with fresh fruits and the flaxseed/cottage cheese (CC) blend.
Mid afternoon: 2 tblsps ground flax stirred into a glass of papaya juice. Early evening: 2 tblsps ground flax stirred into a small glass of champagne
Soup from fresh veggies serve with nutritional yeast and the OLEOLUX.
Follow the links for recipes for the mainstays of the diet, and note a link to her books in RESOURCES at right.
I followed this regimen strictly for 2 months, then was forced to make some changes. For example, the champagne mid-morning made me sleepy: at first, I think that was beneficial because my energy was depleted.
I replaced that with papaya juice and flax.
I added Essiac after the sauerkraut and before bed.
I moved the fresh juice to the afternoon to better reflect my work habits.
I also have to tell you, though this would never be my choice, nor my recommendation, that there have been people who have simply added the cottage cheese mixture and done nothing else, and have still seen results. My question would be, if you do the regimen partially and do NOT experience results, who do you blame?? Who can tell which detail it is that is the deciding factor for you? No, all or nothing is my motto here!
It was also important for me to be choosing my foods from those high in B17, or laetrile. I have not yet added the actual apricot pits, but am planning on doing so. Foods high in laetrile are the following:
Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.
Read the other articles in this series ( see RESOURCES at right) to see what other strategies I implemented to address this tumor. I will say that at the end of the 3 month period, the main tumor had regressed by 1/2 centimeter, and the many other lymph nodes which were enlarged on the original scan, now all measured under 1 cm, which is arbitrarily considered to be the danger mark.
Generally, the Budwig Diet is considered to show some effect by 90 days my understanding is that she claimed it then took up to 5 years for the disease to be totally controlled.
For those who are allergic to dairy products - no useful studies have been done comparing the results of people using alternatives such as yoghurt,
so there is no good substitute I can recommend. Remember, though, that mixing the flax with the cottage cheese in this manner changes the consistency of the food - changes it almost into another food altogether: so perhaps we need to rely on Dr. Budwig's comment that she has never had a patient who couldn't tolerate quark (cottage cheese) as part of her Oil-Protein Diet.
Monitoring my progress
I should have known better, of course. All my studies had convinced me that cancer could not grow in a body with an alkaline pH, yet over the years, I had never managed to keep my results anything but acid - I react very badly to stress, and even all the right things I did with diet and lifestyle were not enough to move my readings into the beautiful green area on the litmus paper where they should be.
I made sure I had a good supply of pH strips on hand, and immediately after starting the Budwig diet, I was comforted to see my pH readings perfectly alkaline: I have been sure to check every day that they remain where they should be.
Recipe for Dr. Budwig's Muesli
6 tblsps organic, low fat cottage cheese
3 tblsps flax oil
2 tblsps milk9 raw and/or unhomogenized)
1 tsp honey
2 tblsp ground flax seed
Fresh fruit and berries to taste
Blend in blender until no oil is visible.
This really does taste good. I added 1 tblsp Tart Cherry concentrate to the mix, and did well for quite a while. However, I have a problem eating "thick" food, and after a while it began to gag me. I switched to making it into a shake - just upping the milk content - and had no further problem Recipe for Dr. Budwig's Salad Dressing/ Mayonnaise
2 tblsps Flax Oil
4 tblsps organic, low fat cottage cheese
2 tblsps milk (preferably raw and/or unhomogenized)
2 tbsps of Lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar.
Blend together, and add: mustard, chopped (organic) pickles, spices and herbs to taste. I used a small half pint canning jar on my blender.
Recipe for Dr. Budwig's OleoLux 9 tblsps Flax Oil
18 tblsps Coconut Oil, no chemicals
half a medium onion
10 cloves of garlic.
Heat the coconut oil, add chipped onion and garlic, and cook until lightly browned. Strain through sieve, and let cool slightly. Add to flax oil, and refrigerate.
The Vitamin Lady's Juice combo Couple of slices fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1/4 lemon
1 apple
2 lbs carrots
Some broccoli, zucchini, beet or other solid fresh veggie
Some kale, chard, bok choy, spinach or other leafy green
Some pineapple, strawberries, blueberries or other soft fresh berry/fruit 2tblsps ground flax

I followed this regimen strictly for 2 months, then was forced to make some changes. For example, the champagne mid-morning made me sleepy: at first, I think that was beneficial because my energy was depleted.
I replaced that with papaya juice and flax.
I added Essiac after the sauerkraut and before bed.
I moved the fresh juice to the afternoon to better reflect my work habits.
I also have to tell you, though this would never be my choice, nor my recommendation, that there have been people who have simply added the cottage cheese mixture and done nothing else, and have still seen results. My question would be, if you do the regimen partially and do NOT experience results, who do you blame?? Who can tell which detail it is that is the deciding factor for you? No, all or nothing is my motto here!
It was also important for me to be choosing my foods from those high in B17, or laetrile. I have not yet added the actual apricot pits, but am planning on doing so. Foods high in laetrile are the following:
Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.
Read the other articles in this series ( see RESOURCES at right) to see what other strategies I implemented to address this tumor. I will say that at the end of the 3 month period, the main tumor had regressed by 1/2 centimeter, and the many other lymph nodes which were enlarged on the original scan, now all measured under 1 cm, which is arbitrarily considered to be the danger mark.
Generally, the Budwig Diet is considered to show some effect by 90 days my understanding is that she claimed it then took up to 5 years for the disease to be totally controlled.
For those who are allergic to dairy products - no useful studies have been done comparing the results of people using alternatives such as yoghurt,
so there is no good substitute I can recommend. Remember, though, that mixing the flax with the cottage cheese in this manner changes the consistency of the food - changes it almost into another food altogether: so perhaps we need to rely on Dr. Budwig's comment that she has never had a patient who couldn't tolerate quark (cottage cheese) as part of her Oil-Protein Diet.
Monitoring my progress
I should have known better, of course. All my studies had convinced me that cancer could not grow in a body with an alkaline pH, yet over the years, I had never managed to keep my results anything but acid - I react very badly to stress, and even all the right things I did with diet and lifestyle were not enough to move my readings into the beautiful green area on the litmus paper where they should be.
I made sure I had a good supply of pH strips on hand, and immediately after starting the Budwig diet, I was comforted to see my pH readings perfectly alkaline: I have been sure to check every day that they remain where they should be.

This really does taste good. I added 1 tblsp Tart Cherry concentrate to the mix, and did well for quite a while. However, I have a problem eating "thick" food, and after a while it began to gag me. I switched to making it into a shake - just upping the milk content - and had no further problem Recipe for Dr. Budwig's Salad Dressing/ Mayonnaise
