Treat Cancer in Dogs Alternatively

The Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953 to foster the science of cancer immunology, which is based on the premise that the body's immune system can be mobilized against cancer. This field, which CRI helped pioneer and develop, has been recognized throughout the world as offering great hope for the ultimate prevention and treatment of human cancer. The immune response is the body's way of defending itself against foreign substances that invade it to cause infection or disease. The immune system's job is a complicated process that involves the coordinated efforts of several types of white blood cells.

It is a well known fact that the major cause of death in cancer patients (animal or human) is nutritional depletion.

There is evidence that foods low in simple carbohydrates with moderate amounts of high-quality protein (raw meats), fiber, and fat (especially fats of the omega-3 fatty acid series) are beneficial for pets with cancer. In addition, certain supplemental nutrients may have potential to reduce the risk of developing cancer, or the growth and metastases of established malignant disease. Nutritional intervention can be a powerful tool for controlling malignant disease and for reducing toxicity associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy if you should choose to go that route.

EFA (essential fatty acids)

DHA and GLA also have an anti-angiogenic effect and will also inhibit the cancer from spreading to other organs. (Called metastasis)

"The omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated several different anticancer mechanisms, including inhibition of tumor development and metastasis. Large doses of fish oil can inhibit cell proliferation and tumor growth through a free-radical-mediated mechanism, while at more moderate doses, omega-3 fatty acids inhibit inflammation, angiogenesis, and Ras protein activity or invasion enzymes (McCarty 1996; Collett et al. 2001; Grimm et al. 2002). . A more efficient and consistent way of obtaining high concentrations of EPA and DHA is to supply your dog with a standardized fish oil supplement. Cancer patients often ingest about 3200 mg of EPA and 2400 mg of DHA a day from a standardized fish oil supplement."{2}

These EFA's keep the cancer cells from sticking (thus transferring the cancer) to other cells.{3}



Wolfberries (Lycium, Goji Berry)
Patients receiving a cancer drug together with (Wolfberry or Wolfberry juice)exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by the drug alone. These advanced cancer patients experienced amazing regressions of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and malignant hydrothorax. Remission of cancers in patients treated with Wolfberry lasted significantly longer than those treated without it. The wolfberry is one of the only plant species on earth that contains the anti-cancer mineral germanium. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer

Research have shown wolfberry fruit (Lycium) to:
Reduce the Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation - In one study, the wolfberry was shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating lung cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that wolfberry can protect against some of the noxious side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

Increases Lymphocyte Count - Lymphocytes are specialized white blood cells that are of crucial importance to the adaptive part of the body's immune system. The adaptive portion of the immune system mounts a tailor-made defense when dangerous invading organisms penetrate the body's general defenses. Wolfberry increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is under attack.

Enhances Body's Production of Cancer-Fighting IL-2 - Wolfberry polysaccharides have been shown in Chinese studies to enhance the production of IL-2, a crucial cytokine (cell protein) that induces potent anti-tumor responses in a variety of cancers. Wolfberry also kills tumor cells by inducing apoptosis, a process in which cancer cells are broken down and recycled.

"Our immune system, which is vital for destroying cancer cells, requires EFAs, vitamins C, B6, and A, and zinc to function, and requires an exceptionally rich nutrient supply of ALL essential nutrients for its high level of complex cellular activities. Deficiencies of EFAs and toxic, man-made synthetic drugs that intefere with essential fatty acid functions can create the conditions of fatty degeneration collectively known as cancer."--Erasmus

Numerous studies conducted on animals and humans show that EFAs have powerful anti-tumor properties and may reduce tumor size by 50%.

Use Of Homeopathy

Marcie Fallek, D.V.M. - "Some conditions that can be treated with homeopathy and holistic care: cancer, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, feline leukemia, feline aids, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, chronic sinusitis, cystitis, ear infections, asthma, skin allergies, behavioral disorders, upper respiratory infections. stomatitis, seizures/epilepsy, arthritis, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, pemphigus, paralysis, intervertebral disc disease, wobblers syndrome, eosinophilic myositis, mange."

"Cancer like other diseases is curable in Homeopathy. Why and how ? To understand this, one has to understand the basic principle of homeopathy. According to the principle of cure in Homeopathy, there is nothing that is incurable provided there is sufficient energy 'Vital Force' in the patient at the time of taking to or restorting to homeopathic treatment. According to homeopathic scientists, without the cause, there cannot be a disease. So the cause should be traced. If we find out the root of the disease than there must be a medicine for it."
