Excellent!
The book came quickly as ordered. This book has been a tremendous help to me and others I have recommended it to. It gives the basics as to how Flax oil can really help against cancer and other diseases. It is a bit old, but I have verified what she says by reading other literature. It is a bit of a challenge for a non-biologist to wade through, but well worth the trip.

One for the ages
This reprint of Johanna Budwig's original, November 1959 lecture is well worth a careful read. But I found it tough going because, at least in the beginning, it entangles her useful and interesting historical findings and ideas with an attack on the food-processing industry of the day, for its harmful preservatives and additives. She's gone, now, but I would have loved to see her produce an update, based on what we have learned about metabolism, cell biology and molecular biology, up to the time of her death in 2003. I deducted one star for the "entanglement" and another star because it is out of date. But she is still one of my heroes.

A Helpful Resource for Cancer
I picked up this book when my husband was ill with esophagus cancer. I researched a lot of non-traditional cancer treatments such as this diet. Unfortunately, we never got to the point where he could ingest this diet of cottage cheese and flax seed oil, since his cancer advanced and he could not eat. I have recently passed it along to a friend who is ill with endometrial cancer. I agree with Dr. Budwig that diet is a big factor in preventing cancer, and flax oil by itself is also good for you. I think this is a very good reference and because it is not pushed by pharma, it has been largely ignored, as have alot of natural remedies.
