Holistic Animal Cancer Treatments Preventing & Healing Cancer in Dogs, Cats, Horses and other Animals "The only real defense against cancer is the immune system. Everyone gets cancer every day but if the immune system is where it should be those cancer cells are eliminated and we never know it. Once a person (or an animal) has developed cancer, even though treatments get it into remission, it will recur again unless the body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place are corrected" Al Carter http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/acancer.htm Welcome to...Alternative & complimentary therapies for animals with cancer ShirleysWellnessCafe.com (aka: MyWellnessHouse.com) - A free educational website on the internet since 1996 This site is being continuously updated so check in often to see what's new --- Last update 1/2/2006 Check the list of updates ---Contact Shirley---About Shirley--- Home---Site map --- search this site USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE DISCLAIMER ---- Don't Forget: Bookmark This Page!

If our immune system is working properly, these cells are killed or reabsorbed by our defense system before they begin to grow and threaten our health."Learn how to strenghten your animal's immune system. You cannot poison your animal into health with drugs, chemo or radiation. The holistic approach treats the whole animal, ignites the body's internal healing force and stimulates the body's natural abilities to heal itself."Health can only be achieved with healthful living" T.C.Fry Considering Chemo? Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. - "Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer. We know that conventional therapy doesn't work--if it did, you would not fear cancer any more than you fear pneumonia. It is the utter lack of certainty as to the outcome of conventional treatment that virtually screams for more freedom of choice in the area of cancer therapy. Yet most alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because there's no other choice." The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) says that the powerful drugs used in chemotherapy can themselves cause cancer and pose a risk to nurses, pharmacists and others who handle them. A housekeeper who dumps the contents of a bedpan into a toilet might not realize that the waste is toxic. "Sometimes, 80 percent of the active ingredient [in a drug] goes right through the patient's system," said Borwegen, who also served on the NIOSH work group. more Based On Dr Eli G Jones, MD book Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice Dr.Waslsh, in his able work on cancers, says: "The knife can neither be regarded as a means of curing cancer or pronologing the exixtence of the person afficted with the disease." Dr.Thomas W.Cooke, Surgeon of the Cancer Hospital, London, England , Says: " From 1851 to 1863 there were 413 cases of cancer operated on at the Cancer Hospital, London,England. The everage time before the cancer returned was only 6 1/2 months." (Read other doctor's comments) Illness does not occur without cause. Causes may originate in many areas. Underlying causes of illness and disease must be identified and removed before complete recovery can occur. Symptoms can be expressions of the body's attempt to defend itself, to adapt and recover, to heal itself, or may be results of the causes of disease.The page is loading. Please wait... Healing Cancer with Flaxoil By Jade Beutler, R.R.T, R.C.P. A groundswell of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to recommend to their clients that they supplement their animals diet with a daily dose of flaxseed oil, poured right over the food. The vets are finding remarkable results in clearing up skin conditions, relieving arthritic and inflammatory pain, as well as improved over all pet health. Mr. Paul Stitt, while addressing a scientific conference in North Dakota reported that flax increased bone strength as well as improved the silkiness and sheen of animals fur. When the diets of horses were fortified with flax, within three weeks their coats developed a beautiful sheen, and dandruff was greatly diminished. Within 9 months cracked hooves were completely healed. When a pregnant mare was fed flax, her offspring were larger, and grew faster than when previous to being fed flax. Further research indicates that horses fed flax and injected with the deadly organism Escherichia coli were better protected than those not fed flax, suggesting enhanced immunity in these animals. Select Alaskan sled dog mushers are fortifying their dogs diets with flax oil as it serves as a source of valuable energy, keeps less desirable saturated fats mobile in the blood stream, increases oxygen uptake to the cell, decreases recovery time from strenuous exercise, and prevents and heals worn and chaffed paws. Numerous studies conducted on animals and humans show that flax has powerful anti-tumor properties and may reduce tumor size by 50%. Purchasing Flaxoil for your Pet -- Tips on Using Flax oil - FAQ - Dosage for Pets THE BUDWIG FLAXSEED OIL DIET & RECIPES by Robert Willner, M.D., Ph.D. author of "The Cancer Solution" Six time nobel award nominated doctor says this essential nutrient combination actually prevents and cures cancer! The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: "this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world". Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.

He's eyes are dull and he's so weak he can't lift his leg. I should have put him to sleep but I didn't want to. I put a Tbsp. of Flax oil and a half cup of cottage cheese in his bowl and he wolfed it down. I did that three times a day for ten weeks. Today he's running all over the place, his eyes are bright, his coat is shiny and he's gaining weight." That was the 2nd dog I'd heard of in 3 days that showed improvement from using Flax Seed oil. The other is owned by my cousin's daughter" Note: I supplement my dog's diet with grounded flaxseeds and/or flaxoil as prevention and general health maintenance.

He was diagnosed on March 19, '99 and the next day I started him on 3 tablespoons of flaxoil and cottage cheese and within hours his energy improved. Four days later, on March 24th, I took him back to the vet and they did a blood test and were baffled because his white cell count was normal, his red blood cells were normal, and his platelets were clotting normal, he had no fever, and he was acting like a normal dog and they didn't understand. On April 13th he had another test and no cancer cells. HE HAS BEEN CANCER FREE SINCE MARCH 24th 1999. Just think I spent over $2000.0 on vets to find out what he really needed was a bottle of flax seed oil that costs about $12.00. Before this he was a very sick dog and according to the vets he was suppose to be dead by now." (Read Tim's full detailed story) Purchasing Flaxoil - Dogs benefit from a diet rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs).

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. The pictorial below depicts the process by showing how the immune system destroys viruses. Veterinary Success Using Transfer Factors™ to Treat Cancer We all know the importance of an optimal immune system, not only after surgical procedures or fighting disease and serious illness, but also in your patient's or pet's everyday wellness. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies on Transfer Factor Plus documented an increase in Natural Killer cell activity.by 248% and 269% respectively, over baseline immune response. The NK cell is the animal's first line of defense against many pathogens... bacteria, viruses, parasites, and of course malignant tumor cells. Dr. Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies, asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections, cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy, the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had years of disease. Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course, by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, or hypothyroidism, Transfer Factor can balance this overactivity so the system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges it needs to be alert to." More about Dr. Falconer and his practice --- Dr. Falconer's article on cats and chronic disease Charles W. Brown, DVM -"My colleagues and I have found this product to be very effective in modulating the immune system. Transfer factor is a "soup" of immune-modulating factors, which contains a leukocyte-type molecule that can passively transfer immunity from one mammal to another by stimulating cell-mediated immunity and is antigen specific. The transfer factor "soup" also contains suppressor and inducer factors, which can greatly increase the activity and effectiveness of natural killer cells while addressing autoimmune conditions at the same time. Independent laboratories have measured increases of more than 248% in natural killer cell effectiveness on live erythroleukemic cells. We have experienced encouraging results from the use of Transfer Factor™ on horses. Richard Bennett, Ph.D., an Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist, who received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, believes this could be the most significant development in animal health care in decades. We have a great number of veterinarians and clients who are experiencing very positive results in a broad area of disorders, including periodontal. " Charles W. Brown, DVM Steven Slagle, DVM - "Transfer factors and enhanced transfer factors (Transfer Factor Plus) have turned out to be the most effective and versatile products I have ever used in my 32-year veterinary practice. Here are a few examples: A cat with leukemia, an oral tumor, and posterior paralysis due to a spinal tumor, was very ill and emaciated. One month after enhanced transfer factors (1 cap daily), there was some regression of the oral tumor, restored appetite with some weight gain, and increased sociability. Five months later, she continues to improve, regaining normal weight, 80% regression of her oral tumor, and regaining use of hind legs and tail. Victor, a 10-year-old gelding, with EPM was treated with conventional drug therapy for 5 weeks and yet continued to deteriorate. At week 6, I started him on enhanced transfer factors (6 caps/day). Within one week, he showed noticeable improvement, and within 30 days, he was able to show. Since his full recovery 4 months ago, Victor has continued to show at his original performance level. Dr. Slagle says that he has used these products as stand-alone and in conjunction with allopathic therapies in the following cases with excellent results: CANCER: Canine lipomas, Canine/feline hepatic tumors, Equine squamous cell carcinoma, Equine melanomas; Feline leukemia, oral tumors. Duane Townsend, M.D. - Dr. Townsend is the former Director of Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecologic Endoscopy at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. He has authored over 90 papers in peer review journals and fifteen chapters in books. Dr. Townsend created a well-known procedure in dealing with precancer of the cervix. "I have many cancer patients on Transfer Factor™, along with traditional treatment protocols. I believe that Transfer Factor™ has been very beneficial to these patients." more on alternative cancer therapy for humans .

Within 4 hours she got up and walked. (more info) Our pets are prone to suffer from minerals and trace mineral deficiency. For optimum health, I supplement my dog's diet (and my diet too) with the following: fulvic minerals (consist of an immense arsenal and array of naturally occuring powerful phytochemicals, biochemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals), bee pollen (rich in naturally occuring vitamins), glyconutrients (essential saccharides strengthen the body’s inner environment), kelp (marine plants), the right kind of salt (not common table salt) and clay (to promote healing and to detoxify) and with flaxoil (also knows as linseed oil - rich source of omega3 fatty acids). Shasta does not drink tap water. I give her only filtered water which is free from toxic chlorine and fluoride. I never cook or warm up food in a microwave oven.

Hennen, Ph.D. where to purchase Transfer Factor Goji Berries (Lycium, Barbary Wolfberry) Patients receiving a cancer drug together with goji 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 goji lasted significantly longer than those treated without goji. Goji 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 Goji fruit (Lycium) to: Reduce the Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation - In one study, goji was shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating lung cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that goji 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. Goji increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is under attack. Enhances Body's Production of Cancer-Fighting IL-2 - Goji 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. Goji also kills tumor cells by inducing apoptosis, a process in which cancer cells are broken down and recycled. Helps Manage and Fight Cancer Patients receiving a cancer drug together with goji 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 goji lasted significantly longer than those treated without goji.
