Dr. Joanna Budwig, who pioneered studies on fats and oils in the early 1950′s, found that combining flax seed with sulfur-containing protein prevented or helped heal cancer. When sulfur-containing protein and omega-3 oils are taken together there is increased oxygen uptake in tissues. In order to prevent or reverse cancer, we need to increase tissue oxygenation.
