Paulraj S, Ramalingan K.

Budwig Diet, developed in the early 1950s by the German chemist Dr. Johanna Budwig (1908–2003) was a popular alternative cancer therapy during her periods when there was no any effective conventional therapy existing for treating Cancer. Although it is still widely practiced all over the world for cancer treatment as an evidence based alternative therapy, it is not an approved drug by the FDA for treating cancer. However, the evidence-based therapies are popular in Asian and African countries and people are using them as the main or alternative therapy for various diseases especially for cancer. In order to validate its use as an evidence-based therapy for cancer treatment, the anti-cancer properties of the active ingredients present in the Budwig Diet are analysed for their anti-cancer properties with recent scientific findings and clinical trials.
