From "The Holistic Veterinary Handbook" by William G. Winter, DVM (http://www.amazon.com/Holistic-Veterinary-Handbook-Effective-Practitioner/): Conium (Hemlock) is a homeopathic remedy used to treat lymphoma in animals. Food ratios for Dogs: 20-25% animal products (meat/eggs/dairy). Best Meats: In general, meat should be served raw. For ecological reasons, look for cuts of meat not commonly sought out for people, such as chicken necks and backs, giblets, tongues, venison, wild fish, and tougher pieces of meat. Many butchers will grind these up for you. Have restaurant employees save good leftover meat (cooked or raw) for you. Organ meat (liver, kidney) should not exceed 10% of total meat intake. Pork and rabbit should be lightly cooked. Watch out for hormones and pesticides in meats -- U.S. beef and dairy (from cows, not goats & sheep) products have banned in the rest of the world because of Monsanto's Growth Hormone, which is like throwing kerosene on a fire to cancer. 65-75% plants (vegetables/grains/fruits -- go easy on grains, and only whole, rough grains that need to be chewed, not ground grains made with flour -- even if "whole wheat"). I would give Sunny some organic wheat and barley grass mixed in his food [Wheat Grass Powder, Organic Non-GE 5 lbs, (http://www.luckyvitamin.com/item/itemKey/54415)]; http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=392 [NOW-02662, 2lbs] organic non-GE], and you could blend some vegetables, especially greens, in a VitaMix blender. Grind bones using either a clamp-on hand grinder or good processor or use a large meat tenderizer too and butcher block. Grind all skin, bones and muscle. You can prepare large batches of food and freeze it in small-sized portions. Offer food at room or body temperature. Do not microwave food! Immune Stimulation: Garlic -- medium to high dose Ten Biggest Sources of Cancer in Domestic Animals
Herbal detoxification -- this should be done first. Preventing Lymphoma by Diet (from Dr. Blaylock -- this is pertinent to other cancers, too) In a previous newsletter, I reported on a study that found that lymphomas were increasing faster than any other type of malignancy in those under age 30 years. Shocking news to say the least. Yet, a series of studies clearly shows that nutrition is a powerful way to combat this increase risk. In one study, which looked at the diets of 591 people having a non-Hodgkin lymphoma compared to matched populations of the same age, sex, and other risk factors, found that those who had the highest intake of omega-3 fats (fish oils) had up to a 60 percent reduced risk of developing the cancer. Likewise, those with the highest vegetable intake, as measured by carotenoid levels, had a 40 percent reduction in risk, and those with the highest vitamin E intake (natural vitamin E) had a 60 percent reduction. Previous studies have linked high protein diet (especially red meats eaten rare) and high milk intake with significantly increased risk of lymphomas. A particularly strong association was found between fiber intake and reduced risk of lymphoma. Those who ate 14.4 grams of fiber per thousand kilocalories (equal to a highvegetable diet plus whole grains) experienced up to a 60 percent reduction in risk. In another study from the Mayo Clinic, it was shown that people who ate the most cruciferous vegetables (Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) reduced their risk of lymphoma by 42 percent. Zinc also lowered risk. Of the carotenoids, lutein, and zeaxanthans, lowered risk as much as 42 percent. Kale, spinach, and tomatoes are high in these carotenoids. In the previous study, they found that high calcium intake, no matter the source (supplements or milk), dramatically increased lymphoma risk. As with the link between prostate and breast cancer risk and calcium intake, it appears that the high calcium diets lower vitamin D-3, (2,000 IU a day) which normally suppresses these cancers. Higher vitamin D-3 may also protect against lymphomas. The important lesson to retain is that by eating a healthy diet and using appropriate supplements, one can avoid the risk of these dangerous cancers. I use Immune Assist Critical Care myself from Aloha Medicinals to boost my immune system; they have products for dogs and some other helpful information at: http://www.alohamedicinals.com/pet.htm Other helpful immune boosters are mentioned on my site, including astragalus, gum ghatti, aloe vera, arabinogalactan, fucoidan, echinacea, and goldenseal (a good quality, standardized extract, hopefully, like: http://www.vitacost.com/Natures-Way-Goldenseal-Root) -- see my main "Cancer Protocol" page for details. Some liver support/detoxification herbs/supplements might be helpful (also on my liver and cancer pages) such as milk thistle (www.swansonvitamins.com SWH051, qty120 caps, 250mg 80% + 250mg Milk Thistle Powder, $5.75), dandelion root, TMG, Lecithin. Also, N-Acetyl Cysteine, a good overall multivitamin/mineral (I use Jarrow Multi Easy powder from www.iherb.com). Methionine and iron (in NuVet Plus and other pet vitamins) accelerate cancer. There are things to help reduce metastasis (see my colon cancer page), including MCP, concentrated flax lignans, and arabinogalactan if you need them. This book may be helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Guide-Preventing-Treating-Cancer/dp/1577315197/ I use purified liquid fish oil (http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Liquid-Purified-Fish-Oil-Omega-3-EPA-DHA or http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=747) because I found, upon nicking the capsule and squeezing it out on a spoon and smelling the oil, that many of the capsules were rancid and doing more harm than good. Also, the liquid is cheaper. At any rate, if you use capsules, I'd check one from each bottle. For joint problems, instead of prednisone (which suppresses the immune system), I take http://www.vitacost.com/New-Chapter-Zyflamend and www.swansonvitamins.com Boswellia Serrata, SWH010 (1 of each AM + 1 of each PM) to reduce inflammation/swelling. Arnica Gel (externally only) and Hyland's tablets (6X or 30X internally) work together well for joint pain. Some people and animals have trouble converting the ALA in flaxseed oil to EPA/DHA (fish oil) due to an enyzme deficiency caused by age, eating a lot of omega-6 oils, being overweight or having cancer or other illness: (http://www.jonbarron.org/anti-aging-program/10-21-2002.php). I prefer to take purified fish oil directly (I take 4TBS/d total, 2AM + 2PM along with full-spectrum oil-soluble vitamin E at the same time. I mix in 500mg curcumin and 500mg quercetin into 1TBS of the above oil three times a day (using a spoon and a little saucer); I actually take 1000mg of curcumin + 1000mg quercetin + 1TBS fish oil AM and 1TBS fish oil plain, then 500mg of each with 1 TBS fish oil and 1TBS fish oil plain PM. Also for cancer: http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-PomActiv-Pomegranate-Extract (large dosages; on my website) + lots of enzymes (Now Pancreatic Enzyme, Now Papaya Enzyme from www.iherb.com and http://www.vitacost.com/DoctorsBestBestSerrapeptase) Virtually all the things on my web site are applicable to pets, too -- just the dosages are different. In fact, there is more information available for treating cancer with natural methods in pets than in people because of active government and media suppression. If your pet is taking corticosteroids/prednisone, I can't advise you to discontinue any prescriptions by allopathic doctors, but if it were me, I'd try the other anti-inflammatories instead, keeping the prednisone in reserve while seeing how it goes. About how things mix together: I took all of the things on my protocol when I had active cancer, in the dosages indicated, simultaneously; I take a quite a few now, but less (both in number and quantity), along with a virtually perfect diet and lifestyle. Many of the supplements and herbs actually are synergistic and help each other, rather than make you sick. The main bad interactions are few and mostly with prescriptions -- for example, some herbs can interact with blood thinners and cause the blood to thin more, and the supplements for diabetes will lower blood sugar and can require someone using prescriptions that do the same thing to decrease or gradually stop taking them. Not to necessarily endorse this diet (some of the things on the website looked good, but some things that were linked to (but on other sites) were questionable, but this part was good, and along the lines of what the other book I sent you excerpts from said (about including lots of certain vegetables (cruciferous and other nutritious ones), ground flaxseed, fruits, etc.: The BARF DIET™ does not contain grain products. Grains are not biologically appropriate for our pets. The ingestion of grain and other starchy foods contribute to most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases. Domestic pets should be getting their carbohydrate in a similar manner to their wild ancestors. Natural Fresh fruits and vegetables, in the BARF DIET™, provide a natural source of carbohydrates in a more digestible format. Current trends of improving the diets, exercise, health and well being of humans have influenced the way we have improved the feeding regimen for our prized pets. Although I would follow the vegetable and meat percentages given above, and select other vegetables also, along with Now brand organic wheat grass and barley grass powders (www.iherb.com), here is an example of how you can mix organic, raw, blended vegetables (www.Vitamix.com variable-speed blender), fruit, freshly-ground organic flaxseed (Proctor-Silex Coffee Grinder) with raw meat and bones: Various forms of meat, along with finely ground bones, Liver, Egg, Broccoli, Celery, Spinach, Carrot, Ground Flax Seed, Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Apple, Pear, Grapefruit, Orange, Dried Kelp, Cod Liver Oil, Garlic, Cayenne Pepper, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide. (http://www.barfworld.com/cgi-bin/product.cgi?category=29&af=1032) http://www.alohamedicinals.com/canine_lymphoma_report.pdf Essiac tea is also helpful for pets with cancer. For Rene Caisse’s later 8 herb formula -- powdered 8 herb formula used late in Rene's life, go to www.vitacost.com and search for "Flor Essence" (without quotes; iherb costs a lot more). Mfr's info: http://www.florahealth.com/Flora/Home/canada/Products/R8070.asp) Warnings: This product contains Turkish rhubarb root. Read and follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because rhubarb may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health. Consult your physician if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition. You could take some of the capsules and pills with your teas. If you're pressed for time, like I am, you might prefer the liquid extract: http://www.vitacost.com/Flora-Flor-Essence-Gentle-Detox-For-The-Whole-Body For Children (2-12): Measure 3/4 to 1 oz of tea once or twice daily. Dilute and take as above. Sip slowly. For Infants (under age 2): Measure 1/4 to 1/2 oz of tea once or twice daily. Dilute and take as above. Sip slowly. For Pets: base dosage upon body weight.
