Dog with Cancer
Question:
Hello and thank you for your time, My 10-year-old collie was just diagnosed with
lymphoma. Her vet has (predictably) prescribed chemo, but I would prefer to treat
her with diet and supplements -- I have been researching online, but can't seem
to find a conclusive response to the success of any kind of treatment. Can you share
any information or suggestions? My entire family is devastated by this news, and
I am anxious to fight this disease in any way we can. Thank you again for your response,
and for providing this much needed forum.
Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for visiting Only Natural Pet Store. I am sorry you are facing such
a tough diagnosis with your dog. We can give you some general recommendations from
Dr. Siegler for immune boosting supplements, but for a thorough cancer fighting
protocol we do recommend you
contact a holistic veterinarian.
Here are some basic suggestions:
- Diet is the foundation of good health and this is the most
important thing you can do for him. We recommend you read
What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food in our Articles Section.
- Select ONE of the following immune support supplements:
Only Natural Pet Immune Strengthener is a powerful immune support complex
that includes medicinal mushrooms, antioxidants and Cat’s Claw along with other
herbs to help with chronic disease and cancer.
OR
CAS Options by Genesis Resources is an immune building supplement that includes
mushrooms and antioxidants that have been shown to boost the immune system.
- In addition to the immune support supplement provide a good antioxidant
complex such as
Seven Forest’s Quercenol. NOTE: Antioxidants are controversial with some
oncologists, so check with yours before ordering.
-
Cellular Forte by PhytoPharmica is another good supplement for fighting
cancer and boosting immunity and can be given in addition to the others.
-
Only Natural Pet B.S.S.T. Herbal Formula is based on the widely used Essiac
Formula that has been shown to be helpful in many types of cancer.
- Consider adding 4-Life Transfer factor, a powerful immune support formula,
to your dog’s regimen.
