Important Notes

Budwig was 7-time Nobel Prize nominee. High omega-3 intake and cottage cheese protein binding has theoretical merit. Many anecdotal success stories. Requires strict adherence, fresh ingredients. No commercial products truly match protocol.

About GBS Score

The Gabriel Bullshit Score reflects the magnitude of institutional response, controversy, and documented concerns. Higher scores indicate greater institutional pushback, not necessarily inefficacy. This is a research tool, not medical advice.
