Last Updated: January 31, 2023 Tested

FOCC (Flax Oil Cottage Cheese) is the main component of the Budwig Protocol and is fairly easy to make and quite tasty. Aside from that, it is extremely healthy. The Budwig Protocol was developed as a treatment for illness including cancer. Albeit, not by itself, it is a great addition to any health regimen.^{[1]

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Cottage cheese (organic, non-pasteurized)
1 tablespoon of cold pressed, refrigerated Flax seed oil
1 tablespoon of freshly ground Golden Flax seed (grind it)
1 teaspoon of honey (local is better)
Organic fruit (optional) such as bananas, frozen fruits fresh fruit

Steps

1
Mix the flax oil with cottage cheese. Shake the oil well before use. The process of this is called emulsification. Using a blender, or hand-held (immersion type) blender, thoroughly blend your cottage cheese. Add the honey and flax oil to this as well to mix it all together.^{[2]

- Even when it looks like it is mixed together enough, check to see if it is sticking to the sides of the container (it needs to blend more). If the process is complete, then the mixture will not be sticking to the sides of the container.
2
Use a coffee grinder (dedicated to flax seed grinding). Grind the flax seeds to a very fine consistency (about 10 seconds). Use the flax within 20 minutes. The seeds contain high levels of fiber and many vitamins and minerals.
