According to Dr. George C Pack, MD, a cancer specialist at Cornell medical School, almost everyone has cancer cells present at times in our bodies. 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.

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 Immune Response: The Body's Natural Defense Against Cancer

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. 

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 documented an increase in Natural Killer cell activity.by 248% and 437% 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. 

Charles W. Brown, DVM -"My colleagues and I have found Transfer Factor 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 and 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. " 

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.  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. 

Dr. Slagle has successfully treated  other types of cancer with Transfer Factor: 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.

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.

Marine Phytoplankton: Tumor and Cancer

At the University of Rhode Island, professor Yuzuru Shimizu is developing a culturing system that will ensure an adequate supply of sea-based organisms that show anti-tumor properties. Shimizu is examining metabolites of single-celled plankton called dinoflagellates, which National Cancer Institute tests have shown to have cancer-fighting potential.  When Tom Harper, the owner of a facility that grows marine phytoplankton, was diagnosed with a terminal form of lung cancer, intuition compelled him to turn to the phytoplankton. After eating small quantities of this strange substance, he found his health rapidly restored. Not only was the cancer a thing of his past, but his life-long challenge to maintain a healthy weight was finally achieved, and he was able to eliminate his use of insulin - a product that he had been dependent on for 17 years. 

Patients receiving a cancer drug together with glyconutrients and marine phytoplankton 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. Research have shown glyconutrients to: 
 

  • Reduce the Toxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation  - In one study, glyconutrients  was shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating lung cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that glyconutrients 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. Glyconutrients increases lymphocyte count and helps to activate them when the body is under attack. 
  • Enhances Body's Production of Cancer-Fighting IL-2  -  Glyconutrients 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. Glyconutrients 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 glyconutrients  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 glyconutrients lasted significantly longer than those treated without glyconutrients . 

  • .

    Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Patients receiving a cancer drug together with phytoplankton exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by the drug alone. These advanced cancer patients experienced regressions of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, and other types of cancer. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides (glyconutrients) can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our animal's ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation, and continue to work overtime while your pet is resting by supporting muscle growth and repair. Feeding marine phytoplankton and other sea plant algae to your pet helps promote: shiny hair coat and supple skin - Healthier and stronger newborns - Improved milk production in lactating bitches and queens - Improved reproductive performance both for male and female - Aids in the healing process by offering the vitamins and minerals necessary for tissue repair - Better utilization and absorption of nutrients from foods ingested. more

    Overcoming Chemotherapy Sickness
    A recent client of mine is a woman with breast, bone and liver cancer who started taking Marine Phytoplankton about two weeks ago. Previously unable to keep anything down and having very little energy, she is now very excited and is experiencing a complete turnaround. She has worked up to two ounces a day, has much improved energy, and can now eat with no problem. Her pH has come up from 5.6 to 6.2 as well. Prior to starting on this program, she had undergone chemotherapy and radiation, which made her quite ill. Her blood work, after about 10 days, has improved. Needless to say, she is ecstatic and grateful to have been exposed to Marine Phytoplankton. Her family can't believe the change!" D. W. 


    Healing Cancer with Omerga 3 oil (fish oil or flaxseed oil) 

    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%.

    A testimonial taken from "Flax Oil and Cancer
    "I have a 13 year old dog. He has cancer. 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" 

    A testimonial about flaxoil and cancer from Tim Brown: "My dog Shilo, a 3 1/2 years old Golden Retriever, was diagnosed with Leukemia of the bone marrow. 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

    Fish Oil Helps Prevents Cancer

    Several mechanisms have been proposed by which the intake of marine fats may lower the risk of cancer. Among the most important of these is the inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis from arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6), an omega-6 fat metabolized in the body from linoleic acid. Eicosanoids are a class of compounds derived from polyunsaturated acids and include prostaglandins, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids, and leukotrienes. Prostaglandins are oxygenated, unsaturated cyclic fats that perform a variety of hormone-like actions. Those converted from AA by the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme, notably prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), have been linked to carcinogenesis in several types of studies:

        * Animal experiments of mammary tumor development,
        * Studies of the proliferation of breast and prostate cancer cell lines in vitro, and
        * Human studies of fish oil intake, epithelial cell proliferation rates, and PGE2 biosynthesis.

    Tumor cells typically produce large amounts of AA-derived PGE2, which may impede immune system function, possibly through its role in the generation of suppressor T cells. Fish oils inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 and the oxidative metabolism of AA to PGE2.

    Fibrosarcoma in Cats - Vaccine Related 

    Michael Richards, DVM - "Unfortunately, cats develop vaccine related fibrosarcomas. This is a problem which has come to light in the last few years and it is one for which there is no clear consensus about the proper way to publicize and deal with it among small animal veterinarians. I suspect that many cat owners are unaware of this risk.. Most veterinarians are reluctant to tell every cat owner about the risk of fibrosarcomas and to explain the risk/benefit ratio of vaccination for each individual cat." (read Dr. Richards's letters)

    Vaccines and Sarcomas: A Concern for Cat Owners 

    Sarcomas are not new, nor are they extremely rare. But in 1991, veterinarians began to notice a higher than expected number of sarcomas occurring on the body in places where vaccines are commonly injected. Veterinarians are deeply concerned. Even though vaccine-associated sarcomas are uncommon, the problem is receiving unprecedented attention by veterinarians and feline vaccine producers. The Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force is a coalition of concerned national veterinary organizations dedicated to resolving the dilemma. 

    Implanted Microchips Cause Cancer

    The Institute of Experimental Pathology at Hannover Medical School in Germany reported , "An experiment using 4279 CBA/J mice of two generations was carried out to investigate the influence of parental preconceptual exposure to X-ray radiation or to chemical carcinogens. Microchips were implanted subcutaneously in the dorsolateral back for unique identification of each animal. The animals were kept for lifespan under standard laboratory conditions. In 36 mice a circumscribed neoplasm occurred in the area of the implanted microchip. Macroscopically, firm, pale white nodules up to 25 mm in diameter with the microchip in its center were found. Macroscopically, soft tissue tumors such as fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were detected."

    Ecole Nationale Veterinaire of Unite d'Anatomie Pathologique in Nantes, France, reported, "Fifty-two subcutaneous tumors associated withmicrochip were collected from three carcinigenicity B6C3F1 micestudies. Two of these 52 tumors were adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland located on the dorsal region forming around the chip. All the other 50 were mesenchymal in ori! gin and were difficult to classify on morphological grounds with
    haematoxylin- eosin."

    Marta Vascellari of Instituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie at Viale dell'Universita in Legnaro, Italy reported examining a 9-year-old male French Bulldog for a subcutaneous mass located at the site of a microchip implant. "The mass was confirmed as a high-grade infiltrative fibrosarcoma, with multifocal necrosis and peripheral lymphoid aggregates."

    The Toxicology Department of Bayer Corporation in Stillwell, Kansas reported, "Tumors surrounding implanted microchip animal identification devices were noted in two separate chronic toxicity/oncogenicity studies using F344 rats. The tumors occurred at a low incidence rate (approximately 1%), but did result in the early sacrifice of most affected animals, due to tumor size and occasional metastases. No sex-related trends were noted.

    All tumors occurred during the second year of the studies, were located in the subcutaneous dorsal thoracic area (the site of microchip implantation) and contained embedded microchip devices. All were mesenchymal in origin and consisted of the following types, listed on order of frequency: malignant schwannoma, fibrosarcoma, anaplastic sarcoma, and histiocytic sarcoma. learn more 

    Dr Charles E Loops DVM - "After 10 years of traditional veterinary practice I became tired of having no treatment for chronic disease, incurable conditions, and a plethora of allergic maladies which seem to plague all veterinary practices. I was frustrated with giving animals cortisone because I had no other solutions, or using antibiotics for infections which I knew were of viral origin. There is so much that can be done for an animal, bird, or reptile that is ailing by utilizing homeopathic medicine." 

    For years dog health supplies have included toxic materials to artificially maintain dog health as a temporary measure. The time has come to change to a more natural approach toward animal health. Natural remedies have been shown to achieve more immediate, more complete and longer lasting health, vitality, quality and longevity of animal lives.

    Michael Dym, VMD - "Over the past 40 years and 17 generations of dogs and, cats we are seeing tremendous increases in chronic ill health in our pets that was rare back in the early 1960's. Most of these illnesses revolve around breakdown in our pets' immune systems, and include chronic skin/ear allergies, digestive upset, thyroid/adrenal/pancreatic disorders, seizures, gum/ teeth problems, degenerative arthritis, kidney/liver failure, and cancer across all ages and breeds. We are also seeing a record number of behavioral and emotional disorders including alarming and unexplained fears/aggression., as well as difficulty focusing/training and paying attention. The analogy of these compared with escalating immune/behavioral diseases in children is quite disturbing. The two biggest factors in our pets' population health decline over these generations has been the severe overuse of multiple vaccines and nutrient poor and toxin filled commercial pet foods. We have also failed to address the underlying cause of disease by only sup pressing symptoms with antibiotics, cortisone and related drugs, so the disease progresses and goes deeper. Homeopathy offers a viable alternative in truly curing pets and making their bodies healthier." 

    Dr. Pat Bradley, DVM, Conway, USA -  "The most common problems I see that are directly related to vaccines on a day to day basis are ear or skin conditions, such as chronic discharges and itching. I also see behaviour problems such as fearfulness or aggression. Often guardians will report that these begin shortly after vaccination, and are exacerbated with every vaccine. In a more general and frightening context, I see the overall health and longevity of animals deteriorating. The bodies of most animals have a tremendous capacity to detoxify poisons, but they do have a limit. I think we often exceed that limit and over-whelm the body's immune system function with toxins from vaccines, poor quality foods, insecticides, environmental toxins, etc. This is why we've seen such a dramatic increase in allergies, organ failures, and behaviour problems." (NOTE: a growing number of holistic veterinarians use Transfer Factor before and after vaccination to minimize the side effects and help the animal recover) 

    Dr. Blanco, D.V.M - "You take healthy animals and often very quickly after you vaccinate, you can see simple things like itching of the skin or excessive licking of the paws, sometimes even with no eruptions. We see a lot of epilepsy, often after a rabies vaccination. Or dogs or cats can become aggressive for several days. Frequently, you'll see urinary tract infections in cats, often within three months after their [annual] vaccination. If you step back, open your mind and heart, you'll start to see patterns of illness post-vaccination."  more about vaccinosis

    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."  Prevaccination Protection  Dr. Falconer D.V.M. explains how to protect your animal from vaccines damage

    Sam Jones, DVM - "Two cats, both about 8 years old, had severe diabetes. It was impossible to get the insulin requirements adjusted. They had lost weight to a point that they were skin and bones. Both cats had no quality of life left. After one week of being on transfer factors; we were able to get their insulin requirements adjusted. It is now 6 months and they have regained their weight and have a great quality of life and health."


    CHLORINATED and FLUORIDATED WATER.... A BIG NO-NO !!!  There is a perception among many people that bottled water is somehow more healthy or pure than water from their tap. This is simply an illusion of marketing. A four-year study by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released in 1999, found that one-fifth of the sampled bottled waters contained known neurotoxins and carcinogens such as styrene, toluene and xylene. Another NRDC study found that, out of 103 brands of bottled water, one-third contained traces of arsenic and E. coli. This means that out of a sample of 1,000 bottles sold in the U.S., at least 300 would have some level of chemical contamination. It is well known that the average city water today contains over 500 chemicals that do not belong in it. Part of this is due to the fact that most delivery systems in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes, cast iron, PVC (porous to certain solvents, herbicides and pesticides) and that lead, cadmium and other toxic metals leach out of valves and couplings of pipes between a water treatment plant and a faucet in the home. Why Purified and Distilled Bottled Water are Bad For You and Your Animals

    Safe, toxin-free, Ionized, Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from the body and is a powerful antioxidant. Ionized Water makes more oxygen available to our cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or tap water and is the best possible drinking water. "Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of purified water. Avoid it except in special circumstances." Zoltan P. Rona M.D
     

    Our pets are prone to suffer from minerals and trace mineral deficiency. For optimum health, I supplement my animal's diet (and my diet too) with the following: fulvic minerals , marine phytoplankton (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), kelp (marine plants), the right kind of salt (not common table salt) and therapeutic clay  (to promote healing and to detoxify) and with omega 3 oils. Shasta does not drink tap water. I give her only energized, alkaline microwater which is free from toxic chlorine and fluoride. I never cook or warm up food in a microwave oven. Please read about the Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking.   Shirley

    Just like humans, domesticated animals like dogs and cats are affected by the health hazards of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy lifestyles can lead to a variety of illnesses and conditions that are very similar to those experienced by humans. These days, emotional and psychological problems like depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral problems are just as prevalent in pets as they are in their owners. Similarly, physical ailments such as diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, cystitis, kidney and liver disease, skin disorders, obesity, thyroid dysfunction and other problems are becoming more and more common in domesticated animals. Many, if not most of these conditions can be prevented by helping your pets to live a healthier lifestyle. For pets already suffering from existing conditions, a combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine can work wonders!

    F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier." More on hydrotherapy  (water therapy) 

    Microwater machines generate alkalineliving, energized water. This healing water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals as the best water to drink. In fact the Microwater ionizer water filter is listed as a medical device in Japan and is used in the treatment of several degenerative diseases. Ionized water has several health promoting qualities.  Acid/alkaline balance is important in keeping the body strong, healthy, and free of stress. Drinking alkaline water is the simplest and most effective way to remove (flush out) acidic wastes from our body. Removing acid waste has also been attributed to reversing the aging process. (Read more on this from the book Reverse Aging by Sang Whang.)

    Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. wrote an important article on the healing power of water. (Dr.Hayashi is the director of the Water Institute of Japan.)

    Help Your Dog Fight Cancer: An Overview Of Home Care Options

    Half of our dogs will have cancer in their lifetimes, and yet as dog owners, most of us know little or nothing about caring for a dog with cancer. This is an essential resource for anyone who is living with and caring for a dog with cancer. Create a home-care program for your dog to supplement and support medical treatment; learn about current diagnostic, testing and treatment options; communicate clearly with your vet and make informed medical decisions; understand chemotherapy, its side effects and their remedies; learn what foods and supplements are effective in fighting cancer; make the most of cancer treatments and therapies from both traditional and holistic veterinary medicine. Includes a full color guide to a proven cancer survival diet.

    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


    Black Salve in Veterinary Medicine

    Today, many veterinarians are using Black Salve to treat cancers on or near the skin of animals. We found at least one vet who is also using extracted distillates of bloodroot for internal use. Usually, the "Black Salve" is applied directly to visible tumors (mast cell tumors come to mind). It is claimed that the alkaloids in bloodroot kill cancer cells, while leaving normal cells undamaged, and this is borne out by reports from veterinarians who use it. Apparently, the application of these products usually leaves a scar-producing  wound, which heals normally. The cancer literally exudes from the body, reportedly in as little as five hours. Here is an excerpt from "German Cancer Therapies", Morton Walker (2003) Page 120, which deals with the temperature-raising effect of alkaloids, such as are found in bloodroot:

        . . .Still, Dr. Coley did establish the hypothetical value of body fever for the treatment of particular cancers. therefore, Robert C. Atkins, MD, medical director of the Atkins center in New York City, supposedly predicts his anticancer program on Coley's toxins combined with an alkaloid such as ukrain or the plant Sanguinaria canadensis in the family of bloodroot. The alkaloids raise the body temperature as high as 107°F. The combination of Coley's toxins and the alkaloid is administered ten or twelve times, each time a little higher dosage, with most patients reportedly showing a positive response. learn more

    Spirulina Extract   Scientists in China have shown that a spirulina extract increased the level of white cells in the blood and of nucleated cells and DNA in the bone marrow of mice that had been subjected to chemotherapy and radiation. In dogs, the spirulina extract additionally increased the level of red blood cells. The authors concluded that spirulina "has chemo-protective and radio-protective capability, and may be a potential adjunct to cancer therapy."  CancerDecisions

    Wheatgrass: the cancer fighther  Dr. Chiu-nan Lai, Ph.D., at the University of Texas Cancer Center, Dept. of Biology, Houston, Texas has determined through using the Ames Bacterial Mutagenicity Test that chlorophyll is the active factor in wheat sprout extract which inhibits the metabolic activity of carcinogens. A 20-year study of 20,000 telephone company workers has found that a natural ingredient in carrots and leafy green vegetables significantly reduced the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers. They determined that a diet high in beta-carotene negated the bad effects of 30 years of smoking. The National Cancer Institute reports that 19 of 21 studies over the years have indicated diets high in beta-carotene contribute to at least a 40% risk reduction in developing some kinds of cancer. 

    Fighting fibroid breast tumors and paralysis in a cat with vegetable juice
    "I am pleased to say we are successfully fighting fibroid breast tumors and paralysis of the hindquarters brought on by colon cancer, and while I did have to use a few homeopathic medicines at first to reverse the kidney damage, the bulk of the credit goes to the juices." 

    "One month ago, this cat's hindquarters became paralyzed, and she was forced to ambulate by dragging herself by her forelegs only; bowel movements became virtually nonexistent. After one week of steady juicing, elimination functions have resumed and her rear legs are moving again! If you have not already gotten a copy, please check out Dr. Jensen's book, Foods that Heal.  It efficiently presents in layman's terms how to heal using food and juice combinations based on the chemical elements contained therein. Of course, in pets, you just have to give very small portions (literally, 1/2-teaspoon amounts) to see results. And because the right combination of juices will taste good to them, animals willingly take the juice mixed into their foods -- resulting in less stress on both owner and pet. So now my cats get vegetable-only juice and the dogs get the pulp -- so there's no waste -- all are getting healthy, and I'm saving $$$ on vet bills." 

    Wheatgrass Nature's Finest Medicine: Using Grass Foods & Juices to Revitalize Your Health.Wheatgrass for Feline Health: Staff members of the Institute who lived with cats reported their animals had less illness once they provided wheat grass regularly. They noted that fur was more beautiful, and life spans longer. Formerly arthritic older cats who could barely get in and out of the litter box, were jumping on top of high surfaces. Immune systems in all the cats grew strong and common sicknesses much more easily resisted. Sores and strange lumps would disappear. Chronic conditions such as upper respiratory problems would clear away for good. Keen observers commented that cat's personalities and behavior changed. The cats became calmer, and more "jungle cat-like" in their gait and mannerisms. Making sprouts and growing wheat grass for your own cats is quick and easy! Living foods will beautifully compliment a cat's raw meat diet creating the perfect meal. Many different seeds and nuts may be sprouted and added to your cat's food."

    MANAGING CHEMOTHERAPY TOXICITY
    Barbara E. Kitchell, DVM, Ph.D., Center for Comparative Oncology, Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine

    Medical management of cancer patients involves the use of drugs that are particularly toxic to normal cell populations in the body. These targets of toxicity may be the obligatory rapid division cell populations, or may be selective toxicity targets based on the pharmacology of a particular drug. Some of these toxicities can be avoided by careful dose calculation specific to the individual patient, and also by use of selective agents and protocols designed to limit toxicity.

    Questioning Chemotherapy : A Critique of the Use of Toxic Drugs in the Treatment of Cancer 

    Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. - "I started as a believer in chemotherapy. As a science writer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I wrote articles praising the latest advances in chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy drugs were general cellular poisons, they could be terribly toxic. They were also very expensive for patients and for society as a whole. When I learned about the links between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment (later detailed in my book, The Cance r Industry) I understood the commercial reason that such an inadequate modality was so heavily promoted." more

    In her book, 'Managing the Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy', Marylin J.Dodd, RN, PhD, describes side effects associated with radiation therapy. Dr. Dodd has 25 years of research experience helping patients and their families manage the side effects of cancer treatment. She is a professor of nursing at the University of California, San Francisco School of Nursing.

    Overcoming Immunosuppression from Chemotherapy
    Cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation which greatly weaken the immune system, can greatly benefit from taking transfer factor supplementation. Transfer factor supplementation serves to protect the body from "opportunistic" infections, which often occur during these treatments.  Dr Duane Townsend, former director of gynecologic oncology at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, puts all of his cancer patients on transfer factor treatments to boost their immune systems’ abilities to respond to any health challenges. Both Japanese and Chinese clinical studies found that the immunosuppression that results from chemotherapy can be prevented by using transfer factor isolates. Keep in mind that the elimination of dying or dead cancer cells is monitored by the immune system. Italian, Japanese and American studies tell us that the use of transfer factor isolates to boost immune function after surgery significantly improves the chances of cancer-free future.

    What if the Cure is Also a Cause?  - The International Agency for Research on Cancer -- part of the World Health Organization -- lists nine chemotherapy drugs and two "combinational therapies" as known human carcinogens. Another nine drugs are listed as "probable" and 10 as "possible" carcinogens. Chemotherapy -- the use of potent drugs to kill cancerous cells -- is more than 60 years old. The first such drugs were nitrogen mustards, originally developed as chemical warfare agents. Modern chemotherapy drugs are so strong, by necessity, that they can cause secondary cancers in patients; to a healthy person, they're poison. For decades, experts say, most health care workers were oblivious to the risks posed to them by these and other drugs, which attack good cells as well as bad. By the 1970s, The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) says in its alert, "the carcinogenicity of several [chemotherapy] drugs in animals was well established. Likewise, a number of researchers during this period linked the therapeutic use of [certain drugs] in humans to subsequent leukemia and other cancers. Many in health care began to question whether occupational exposure to these agents was hazardous." Last March, the federal government issued an unusually detailed alert to the nation's 5.5 million health care workers: 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.

    "A recent client of mine is a woman with breast, bone and liver cancer who started taking Marine Phytoplankton about two weeks ago. Previously unable to keep anything down and having very little energy, she is now very excited and is experiencing a complete turnaround. She has worked up to two ounces a day, has much improved energy, and can now eat with no problem. Her pH has come up from 5.6 to 6.2 as well. Prior to starting on this program, she had undergone chemotherapy and radiation, which made her quite ill. Her blood work, after about 10 days, has improved. Needless to say, she is ecstatic and grateful to have been exposed to Marine Phytoplankton. Her family can't believe the change!" D. W.more

    Pancratic Enzymes
    According to Dr. William Donald Kelley, D.D.S., M.S. in his book, "One Answer To Cancer", At least 86% of all cancer conditions could be adequately treated and/or prevented by diet and pancreatic enzymes. Cancer is a symptom of inadequate and deficient protein metabolism. The real problem is protein metabolism, not cancer. Cancer is only a symptom telling those who would listen that their protein metabolism is in very serious trouble. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only treat the symptoms of cancer. 

    One hundred years ago Dr. John Beard at the University of Edinburgh discovered that the body’s primary mechanism for destroying cancer is contained in pancreatin, a secretion from the pancreas that, among other things, includes enzymes for digesting protein. Enzymes digest or liquefy foods for absorption by the body. Dr. Beard presented pictures in his books and papers to show recoveries using pancreatin. This was an unprecedented approach to treating the symptoms of cancer - a direct attack on the malignancy with a substance that did not have toxic side effects on the other functions of the body.

    The Use of Bee Pollen as a Superfood
    Joseph Mercola, D.O.

    "...these mice were especially bred to die from cancerous tumors. Without the protection of bee pollen in their food, the mice developed tumors and died right on schedule. 

    One of the most important articles ever published on bee pollen comes from our own United States Department of Agriculture. This article, entitled "Delay in the Appearance of Palpable Mammary Tumors in C3H Mice Following the Ingestion of PolIenized Food," is the work of William Robinson of the Bureau of Entomology, Agriculture Research Administration. It was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute way back in October 1948, five decades ago. According to the article, Dr. Robinson started with mice that had been specially bred to develop and subsequently die from tumors. He explains, "The age at which mice of this strain developed tumors ranged from 18 to 57 weeks, with an average appearance at 33 weeks. Tumor incidence was 100 percent." Given the fact that cancer is the number-two killer in the United States (heart disease is number one), we can all certainly agree that this is an electrifying article. What happened from it? Nothing. Even the National Cancer Institute, which published it, failed to follow up on this very promising line of research. It was dropped with no explanation." 

    Bee pollen was fed to hundreds of animals over a period of two years by scientist-researcher Dr. Remy Chauvin of the Institute for Bee Culture in Bures-sur-Yvette, France. Reporting to the French Academy of Medicine in 1956, Chauvin said, there were no side effects in the test animals. Furthermore, the use of bee pollen gave the animals increased vitality and improved "powers of reproduction" because of boosted fertility.

    Two Popular Herbal Remedies for Cancer

    Hoxsey Therapy
    by Richard Walters

    The types of cancer said to respond best to the treatment include lymphoma, melanoma, and external (skin) cancer. The clinic's patient brochure includes case histories of patients successfully treated for breast, cervical, prostate, colon, and lung cancers

    For over three decades, Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974), a self-taught healer, cured many cancer patients using an herbal remedy reportedly handed down by his great-grandfather. By the 1950s, the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic in Dallas was the world's largest private cancer center, with branches in seventeen states. Born in Illinois, the charismatic practitioner of herbal folk medicine faced unrelenting opposition and harassment from a hostile medical establishment. Nevertheless, two federal courts upheld the "therapeutic value" of Hoxsey's internal tonic. Even his archenemies, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration, admitted that his treatment could cure some forms of cancer. A Dallas judge ruled in federal court that Hoxsey's therapy was "comparable to surgery, radium, and x-ray" in its effectiveness, without the destructive side effects of those treatments.  But in the 1950s, at the tail end of the McCarthy era, Hoxsey's clinics were shut down. The AMA, NCI, and FDA organized a "conspiracy" to "suppress" a fair, unbiased assessment of Hoxsey's methods, according to a 1953 federalreport to Congress. Hoxsey's Dallas clinic closed its doors in 1960, and three years later, at Hoxsey'srequest, Mildred Nelson, R.N., his long-time chief nurse, moved the operation to Tijuana, Mexico. more: When Healing Becomes a Crime

    It is important to learn to recognize and to eliminate the cause or origin of your animal's cancer

    Identify and Treat the Causes of Disease

    Your animal's ill health may be caused by prolonged exposure toxic environmental factors, including pesticides, antibiotics, vaccines, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack of exercise and chronic stress. Modern veterinary medicine often fails to to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease". 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. Learn how to protect your animal

    Excerpt from:
    Canine Malignant Lymphoma and the use of chemicals in and about the home
    A hospital-based case-control study of companion dogs examined the risk of developing canine malignant lymphoma associated with the use of chemicals in and about the home. The study indicated that owners in households with dogs that developed malignant lymphoma applied 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicides to their lawn and/or employed commercial lawn care companies to treat their yard significantly more frequently than control owners(odds ratio = 1.3). 

    In addition, the risk of canine malignant lymphoma rose to a twofold excess with four or more yearly owner applications of 2,4-D. The findings in this study are consistent with occupational studies in humans, which have reported modest associations between agricultural exposure to 2,4-D and increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the history and epidemiology of which are similar to those of canine malignant lymphoma. 

    Insecticides Associated with Bladder Cancer in Dogs - A statistically significant association between exposure to topical flea and tick dips, and the occurrence of bladder cancer in dogs has been found. The risk of bladder cancer was increased further in dogs living in proximity to areas sprayed regularly with insecticides for mosquitoes. An increased rate of bladder cancer in humans has recently been reported (Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1989(28): 407-414).  more

    What about flea sprays and shampoo?
    Excerpt from Catherine O'Driscoll's writing 

    "Did you know that many flea collars contain carbaryl? Do you know what carbaryl has been shown to do to animals in laboratories? It causes cancer, mutates cells, and causes birth defects. How safe is it for your dog to wear a flea collar around his neck for up to four months? And why do the manufacturers tell us to stop our children touching the collar? And the flea sprays - read the instructions. Are you told not to breathe in whilst spraying your dog? Can you tell your dog not to breathe? And what's in all the flea killing shampoos? One of them, at least, contains a chemical that has been shown to cause cancerif taken in through the skin!"

    If it's not OK for your child, why is it OK for your dog? 
    "...We have a dog shampoo in England that contains piperonyl butoxide. This has been shown to cause cancer in animals when absorbed through the skin. We have a flea collar containing carbaryl. This is a mutagen, and has been shown to be carcinogenicand teratogenic in laboratory animals 
     

    Cancer of the thyroid and toxic chemicals
    Email May 2001- testimonial  from Laura

    "My poodle has recently been diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid and given a life sentence of 6 months. After hours and hours of crying and staying up all night just "watching" her, I got on tons of websites and read tons of articles on processed foods, chemicals, and exactly what environmental factors could have caused Genie's cancer.  I live in a beautifully maintained townhouse community and think there is a connection between the lawn fertilizer and her cancer.  I used to bring her to the vet every year for her vaccinations and felt great after we left...like when you leave the dentist.  Little did I know I was killing her slowly.  I will no longer give her or my cat another vaccine (my cat's name is Lillie!!).  I now am more informed, but unfortunately for Genie, it's too late.  Your article inspired me to pursue my Association's use of chemicals for the lawn.  I am also now feeding my animals organically based, home made food.  Good bye to Mighty Dog and Friskies.  I thought the most expensive brands were the best.  Now I realize I have been feeding fecal matter, roadkill and euthanized companion animals (domesticated dogs and cats) to my furry children.  I am much wiser and hope that my new found wisdom extends the life of my Genie just a little longer. Thanks for writing back and keep going with what feels right in your heart."Laura

Dr. Fallek

    Homeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs
    A growing number of veterinarians are turning to homeopathic veterinary medicine as a safe and effective alternative to conventional veterinary practice (including the use of antibiotics). There is so much that can be done for an animal, bird, or reptile that is ailingby utilizing homeopathic medicine. 

    Is Cancer Curable In Homeopathy ? Based on the writings of  Dr Eli G Jones, MD Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice "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."

    The Nature of Animal HealingThe Nature of Animal Healing : The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat by Martin Goldstein D.V.M. 

    Dr. Goldstein--a graduate of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine explains his approach to alternative treatment: what it is, how it works, and why it's especially important that animals be treated holistically. Holistic pet care essentially revolves around the notion that the best way to cure an animal who is ill is to help the animal cure itself. We are not the true healers of our pets--they are. By treating the root of the problem instead of its symptoms, holistic medicine enables our pets to regain and maintain their own health. In his practice, Dr. Goldstein has had extraordinary success treating cancer and leukemia. 

    Reviewer:"I have been providing our dogs with alternative health treatments since 1995. I was fed up with conventional care--too many pills that merely masked underlying illnesses and no real treatment. Our dogs have glowing health and everyone remarks on their vigor and beautiful coats. Dr. Goldstein, because of his successes with cancer and chronic illnesses, has conventional veterinarians quaking in their boots. So much of medicine is run by the profit motive, totally denying the Hippocratic oath taken by doctors and vets. Think of the marketing of pet foods and vaccinations in the office of the vet--two of the biggest money-makers in the industry. It is no wonder those boots are quaking. I implore you to read this book for the sake of your pets' health."A reader from San Diego, California

    Recent studies have shown processed foods to be a factor in increasing numbers of pets suffering from cancer, arthritis, obesity, dental disease and heart disease, comments Dr Wysong. Dull or unhealthy coats are a common problem with cats and dogs and poor diet is usually the cause, according to many veterinarians and breeders. 

    "The results of a clinical trial suggest that 74.7% of common diseases in dogs and 63% of common diseases in cats can be eliminated without medical intervention over a period of one year with proper diet modifications and an understanding of the healing process as exhibited through healing episodes. Approaching disease from the perspective of health is the most powerful means of eliminating disease. Poor fuel makes for little momentum in life. The commercial food we are feeding' is the disease we are treating---so treat on and on, curing one disease after another, again and again." William Pollak D.V.M.  learn more
