Cat with intestinal tumor - From:
Cheryl Sima lilzippy<at>sbcglobal.net - Sunday, December 17, 2006
The
year was 2000 nearing Halloween our vet had a black kitten that fit in
one hand. He was pitch black in color for the season that was just around
the corner he felt he needed to give this kitten to a safe and loving family.
I told my Mother and without any second thoughts she & my father said
"Yes, bring him HOME!" We decided to name him LUCKY.
In December of 2005 he began to occasionally vomit. As time went on
he continued vomit for no apparent reason. Upon trying to find out what
was wrong my vet and I ran complete blood tests, x-rays, and other various
types of tests and/or suggestions that my vet recommended. LUCKY continued
to eat strong but he could not hold down his food. LUCKY went from 19#
to 13# and in April 2006 my vet and I decided to take him to a specialist
for an Ultrasound. The Ultrasound confirmed a Tumor in LUCKY'S Intestine.
The specialist recommended going right to surgery since a biopsy would
take a while for results and we would treat the tumor as malignant one.
His surgery was a success with the surgeon taking out the tumor along with
a swollen lymphnoid.
They were sent for a biopsy and the results were confirmed as Lymphosarcoma
with no spread to the swollen Lymphnoid, or any other visual signs of
the cancer spreading to other organs that the specialist could see visually.
Chemotheropy was suggested two weeks after surgery to allow him to heal
and halt the spread of the cancer if any. I had a choice of three options
for chemo and chose the most aggressive attack, one treatment every week
for 12 weeks. In his seventh week check-up an ultrasound, chest x-ray,
complete blood test showed no evidence of returning cancer. Upon asking
the specialist how to keep this in remission he said to finish the 4 Chemo
treatments and hope to keep him in remission. This is when I thought there
was more I could do and we got on the computer and after weeks of searching
found Shirley's Wellness Cafe, for which we are extemely thankfull for
her time as well as suggestion and direction. As we began to gather up
all of the imformation we became over whelmed and she directed us to Barbara
Raggio.
Through many many e mails and over the phone conversations Barb gave
us suggestion on Holistic options and many other web sites on this subject.
LUCKY finished his chemo and continued to eat, run, jump and play throughout
his chemo. By the end of August 2006 and with Barb's help we chose our
attack, detoxing to remove any toxins left in his
body from the chemo, Transfer Factor to support
boost his immune system, Agaricus
Liquid Extact, and improved nutrition with natural human grade pet
food Lifes
Abundance Cat Food. Since August 2006 LUCKY has been getting 1 capsule
human Transfer Factor Plus a day, 1/2
teaspoon marine phytoplankton 3-4 times a week, 2 oz. Agaricus Liquid
Extract once a week all mixed in Lifes Abundance Food. LUCKY is currently
16# and getting bigger every week and his stool is normal and healthy.
He just came back from a checkup and there are NO signs of a tumor. Every
day I come home from work LUCKY is there to greet me, he runs down the
hall gives me a "head-butt" jumps on the table slides across the table
and into the lamp. He is such a HAPPY CAT!!!!!!!!! We send this letter
with Thanks to all of those who have helped us along the way. This is truely
a LUCKY CHRISTMAS!

Dr.
Charles Loops D.V.M - "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. At this time I had some
chronic health problems, which had been unresolvable allopathically, but
they responded to natural treatment"
Feline Kidney Failure
Name: Anne Bingenheimer Serravalle
Email: cserravalle @ adelphia.net
Location: Buffalo, New York
Dear Shirley,
I was moved by your web site and would like to share my story. It is
nothing short of miraculous. I am a life long animal lover and have I have
been extensively involved with pet rescue work and currently own many dogs
I have pulled from kill shelters. As you have, years ago I cured myself
of horrible diseases using alternative medicine. I applied this knowledge
to my pets and only give them human grade pet foods,
healthy people foods, and I only vaccinate for rabies (it has been found
in my area) using a homeopathic rememdy when they are given. Many of my
pets came from horrible situations, especially Elliott, a lab-mix who at
6 months old had been starved to the point of death and was left in a dumpster
believed dead.
I rescued and immediately was able to save him using natural methods
and he thrived under our care until 2/08. He developed some horrible life
threatening disease that our traditional vet diagnosed as kidney
failure. He began to fill with fluids, and his belly was so full with
fluid he could hardly walk. His legs were filled and my wonderful friend
was dying. We believe it was still related to the starvation, as his body
hed formed while there was no food available to it. Traditonal medicine
han nothing to offer me or Elliott. Prednisone
to reduce swelling. That not was going to cure Elliott. He was only 5,
and faced death. After carefully going over with my vet my options which
were really none, I contacted a holitstic vet
who I had a connection with. She began treatment shortly after diagnosis.
She used acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, and
I put Elliott on a totally raw canine diet with
healthy forms of highly digestible proteins like chicken (cooked), cottage
cheese, alot of eggs, yogurt. and fruit. I eliminated the human grade dog
food. This is where the story enters an unbelieveable realm.
In six weeks time my dying dog recovered. He lost all the fluid, he
shines from head to foot, and he had severe muscle wasting because of his
inability to process proteins. It all went away. I can only believe that
we were touched by a miracle. I never wanted nor was I ready to say good
bye to Elliott. I have never had an animal recover from being at death's
door as Elliott was. I am telling you this story because maybe you can
tell other people and they can tell other people. Many people do not recover
from kidney failure, but yet I have a dog that did. I believe we were touched
by a miracle and I have been prividledged to have the knowlege that I do
and to have been able to help my dying friend. Elliott was put on this
earth with a divine hand and a divine purpose. He has taught me so much,
and one of his greatest lessons was on forgiveness as he has never held
a grudge against humans for what they did to him, and in spite of all he
has lived through, he loves his life. He truly experiences joy and love.
I wanted to thank you for trying to educated people. We were not left alone
to face adversity. We are given many gifts to help.

Puppies pneamonia, e-coli and staph
A little over 2 years ago I bought a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel, she
has had only 1 live puppy out of 3 litters. After taking one of the
puppies to the vet for an autopsy we found out her puppies were born with
pneamonia, loaded with e-coli and staph (mom's uterus was infected).
Her puppies would be born alive and normal weight but start to die over
the first 48 hours.
To back up a bit... we put her on clavamox from the vet for 10 days
after the 2nd litter. She then had her 3rd litter, which is when
we did the autopsy, and put her on clavamox for 2 weeks. On this
last heat cycle we tried it again, my vet said she was such a nice Cocker
she didn't see any reasoning to spay her and discontinue trying to breed
her (this was our last attempt at breeding her, if no healthy babies we
were going to spay her). Two weeks before her delivery date we put her
on Transfer
Factor Plus 1 pill a day to help support and boost her immune system.
We kept her on Transfer Factor Plus until the puppies were 2 weeks of age.
She had 3 strong and healthy babies, all doing well. Momma is healthier
than ever and also doing very well. I am just THRILLED! Michelle

Dog with advanced Hodgkins disease
Name: Kat
Email: katyvan@myexcel.com
Location: West Palm Beach, Florida
My 7 year old black lab mix, Katy, was recently diagnosed with advanced
Hodgkins. When my vet felt her lymph nodes, he went ashen and his
voice trembled when he gave me the news. I have always given her
the very best food I could find - avoiding 4D (dead, dying, diseased, disabled).
The lymph nodes in her neck (5 or 6 lumps) and on the back of her rear
legs were the size of grapes. The vet recommended an oncologist and
said a series of shots would be anywhere from $80 to $150 each and even
then there were no guarantees since this process is soooooo hard on living
things. Since I have ALWAYS persued alternative therapies, I decided
to "see" you first. I found the information regarding Dr.
Johanna Budwig and immediately put Katy on the cottage cheese/flax
diet along with an all natural RAW diet (raw
meat and vegetables every day, raw natural eggs {with the shell 2-3X/week},
and fresh clean bones once or twice a week). In addition, I chose
to add two liquid herbs that det! ox her liver.
She has been on this program for three weeks and I am truly amazed.
The swollen lymph nodes are all but back to normal (you can just barely
feel a swelling, but only if you really probe). The only "side effect"
of this program is that since she is absorbing most of the food she eats,
her stool is very small. Actually, the stool has looked and felt strange
(yes, I probe her stool to see what's coming out), but I credit that to
the detox.
I passed this diet on to a 78 year old friend with advanced cancer.
Three weeks ago she was unbelievably yellow and slept most of the day.
As of today, she is returning to her normal coloring and actually has energy.
While she was in hospice for two weeks, she kept bugging the staff to make
sure that we brought her the required "shake" of cottage cheese, flax,
and fresh fruit. Another friend is circulating the program like wildfire
to all of our friends.
I hope my comments will encourage others to look into this program before
they lose a friend (4-legged or otherwise) to this horrible disease called
cancer. Although Katy is not completely out of the woods, her remarkable
improvement in just three short weeks has me very excited to
continue this for the rest of her life.
P.S. Admitting that her yearly innoculations
are probably a contributing factor to getting cancer in the first place,
my vet VOLUNTARILY offered me a letter to submit to the county so that
Katy never has to get shots again.
Hot spots
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 1998
From: Diane Trembath ?animadevon@eclipse.co.uk
I just read your annuoncement in Homeopathy Online. My chocolate Lab,
Sidney, was diagnosed with a hot spot (on
top of his head) by our orthodox vet and presecribed an anti-biotic/corticosteroid
ointment. Needless to say, the hot spot got worse - and larger. A week
later I took Sidney to see our homoeopathic vet and he was given Phosphorus
200 and and Ayurvedic gel (called Phytogel, made from Himalayan cedar and
for veterinary use only) to use topically. Within 24 hours there was a
marked improvement; there bleeding and oozing stopped completely within
48 hours and now, a week later, he's back to normal with signs of hair
regrowth! Diane Trembath
PS. Our vet is Richard Allport. He's one of the best-known homoeopathic
vets in the UK and has two excellent books out at the moment: Heal Your
Dog the Natural Way and Heal Your Cat the Natural Way. I think you can
get them in the US. They're certainly available via Amazon.com.
Incidentally, I found your website about 18 months ago when I was working
on my thesis 'The role of classical homoeopathy in animal welfare.'. I
just found another really useful site: Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre

Arthritic Dog
From: "karen saunders" tango@peterboro.net
I began being concerned with a dog I had that at 6 was severely crippled
with arthritis. I switched his diet to Solid Gold and raw foods along with
antioxidants and SOD, and low and behold he was fine!! He lived an extra
2 1/2 years that he would not have had otherwise. Since then I have gone
completely to home made foods, raw foods, and the difference is remarkable.
I am now raising my first litter on raw foods
and try to get new owners to try it. Some do and some think it is
too much work which really it isn't!!
Now that I have made this switch, I am extremely concerned about
vaccines.
I just recently gave any dog over 2 just parvo and rabies vaccines. Under
2 they got booster shots. I have been looking for
nosodes and don't know where I can get them from. There are no homeopathic
vets around my area (central Ontario Canada) and I was wondering if you
could steer me in the right direction!!

Dog on raw food
From: Stephen Sharp ssharp@rider.edu>
In feeding raw foods I have noticed that with my oldest Saluki (almost
6 years) she began acting much more playful and happier. She started looking
for toys to play with, having not showed much interest in years. Her coat
is more plush. I am curious to see how she will be when she is in season
as previously she went off all kibble (light bulb!!!) and would only eat
cooked chicken and beef. The younger one (2years) is calmer and also has
a beautiful, glistening coat. I feed organic beef (ground) with organic
veggies. I give organic dog biscuits (bought) or cookies that I make myself
on occasion. Stephen Sharp

Nutritional help for pets
From: Elvera Hussain e_hussain@yahoo.com>
I have a Cat who is now 19 years old. Three months ago I started giving
my cat an enzyme product. I started taking this product for myself
but i had heard of the famous 900 cat study involding cooked and raw food
and what it did to the cats. I was watching my cat closely for results.
She had a lumpy chest ( I don't know what she had there, it could have
been just fat tissue or tumors) she also had a lumpy stomach from a previous
operation and her fur was looking like it does when the cat is sick not
very silky or smooth but sticky and matted. Two days after giving her the
enzymes
(about half a capsule with each meal sprinkled on it) her lumpy chest disappeared
and her lumpy stomach as well and her fur was back to it's beautiful shine,
she goes now to her litter box and when she comes out she is not looking
"spooked" and running around and crying. She has noticed that we're doing
something good for her and eats with an appetite that she never had before
I'm sure she has a lot of the degenerative illnesses that cats get but
i don't know which ones because i'm afraid to take her to the vet since
he would only give her drugs that harm worse. For more info you may

Saving 14 year old cat from chronic renal failure
From: Kay Webb, North Carolina. kay@smnet.net
Cedric was found by my daughter,14 years ago, behind one of our out-buildings
in Washington state. He was much too small and young to be weaned,
but we had no idea where he came from. Two days previous I had prayed
for a little kitten of my own because I had recently lost my precious dog
and thought perhaps a kitten would be nice to have. It was love at first
sight with Cedric (Cedric means little soldier). I had to feed him
every two hours day and night for three weeks before he finally began to
look like he might survive. His entire life has been a wonder.
He has even survived snakebite. When I brought him home two weeks ago from
ICU it looked as though he might not survive again, after being diagnosed
with chronic renal failure (CRF) and badly
dehydrated, vomiting and had diahrea. He is on subcutaneous fluids twice
each week. I did much research on the web immediately. Your website
has been most informative. I read that dandelion was good for him, also
peppermint: both of which I grow and use for myself, so I made a medium
strong infusion of this. It was cooled and to it I added a small
amount of raw apple cider vinegar and three drops of liguid stevia. I keep
about 1 cup of this in the refrigerator to add to his regimen daily.
He gets 1/2 teaspoon of this each morning and evening. Here is the recipe
for his supplemental mixture.This is given by dropper and he really does
not seem to mind taking it.
1/8 t. (150 mg.) calcium carbonate
100 mg. taurine (free form)
3 drops agaricus mushroom extract (1/4 ml)
6 drops bladderwrack (1/2 ml)
1/2 t. Miracle II neutralizer liguid
This is all mixed together daily and given by dropper two times
each day. One time each day I add 100 mg of salmon oil and a small sprinkle
from a capsule of Solaray Super Digestaway for enzyme activity. He loves
spirulina so I sprinkle a small amount of this on his food.
By the end of his first week home our Vet could not believe the difference
in him. He has gained back about one or more pounds of his weight and they
had told me he would not gain any back and that I should simply make him
as comfortable as possible. His fur is fluffy again, he has not vomited
even once, and his diahrea is practically gone. He is regaining some of
his feistyness. I am very hopefull now.
Healthier Bird
From: "Connie Penner" ronp@citycent.com>
I have part of my own personal experience with our cockatiel that taught
me a lesson. Our bird, Star, was laying eggs too frequently and getting
worn out. We took her to a vet who claimed he knew what he was doing and
I believed him! He gave her a birdie birth control shot! She became miserable!
She gained almost twice her weight and became very depressed. She was so
heavy that she could not fly!! So I put her on bird seed from a health
food store which does not contain any additives. She ate from our fresh
organic salads as she chose. And I insisted to my husband that she only
be given distilled water--not tap! She rested a lot and ate. She lost her
weight on her own accord. She started flying and was a happy bird again.
And she looked a lot younger! Now she is more healthy and is not having
so many problems with laying eggs too often! Her cycle seems well adjusted.
Hmh. Humans need these same health rules! ;-) I learned something from
my bird.

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 might be something you would want
to sell in conjunction with your juicers;
the combination would almost assuredly generate "happy customer" letters
of gratitude. 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."(Dogs and other animals may also greatly benefit from juice
therapy - Shirley)

Feline Health and Nutrition
Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001
From: Eileen Poole FelineCompanion@aol.com
We rescue only FeLV+/FIV+, disabled and
chronically ill cats and kittens. I believe nutrition is of primary importance
to these cats and feed them real food (as opposed to commercial cat food)
as much as possible, including fresh fish I catch in the summer. I've been
online since late Dec. '99 and found your site while looking for natural
diets for the cats. I'd feed them 100% natural foods if I could, but I
can't afford to and would have to mix it by the bucket every day. Too bad
I'm not rich. (Too bad we're ALL not rich!) When they eat commercial cat
food, they get diarrhea and throw up, and they're hungry all the time.
Natural foods; no diarrhea, no vomiting, it sticks to their ribs and they
look and act healthier. If a cat is ill, I use as much natural
foods as I can. It regains its strength and health much faster. Dogs
and cats survived for thousands of years without commercial pet foods.
I'm certain commercial pet foods are responsible for illness and premature
death in pets.
I rescued Tyrone, a10 days old abandoned kitten in June '01. He deteriorated,
lost weight, got terribly skinny and reached the point where he was so
weak, he hardly ate anything at all. At 9 months, he weighed about
2 pounds (should have been 5 pounds.) I started feeding him fresh,
raw red meat (sirloin and round) several times a day. Within
a couple of days, he started feeling more energetic. He ate more
at once. He's been gobbling down four plates of it a day, a good
amount at a sitting, plus a can of kitten food. Tonight, he came
up on the couch and we noticed that he was finally starting to get meat
on his bones where there had just been ribs sticking out before.
I know he has a ways to go, he's too small and I feel there's something
congenital wrong with him, but since he's been getting the raw meat, he's
gotten much better. He has also been helping himself to dinner off
my plate, potatoes, veggies and all.
Severe diaphramatic hernia
From Paul email: vividiboo @ hotmail.com
Location: greater Orlando
Subject:
Crosley, an eight year old grey tabby, was very depressed over the death
of his companion feline friend Z. She had a severe diaphramatic hernia
and no detectable diaphram and still lived 7 years! Crosley lost his appetite
and stopped drinking. We took him to the vet and found he had a severe
infection with a white cell count over 50,000. After leaving him for 3
days on IV fluids and antibiotics he had a white cell count over 72,000!
The vet said it could be cancer but the x rays looked ok. Plus he had fluid
in his chest around his lungs. She sent him home pretty much to die.
After doing some web research we came across your site. We decided there
was nothing to loose and tried a mixture of Essiac
tea and wheat grass juice force fed with a
dropper. He seemed sicker the next day but we kept on giving it to
him. On the third day he started to eat a little and slept at the end of
our bed instead of hiding in the closet. By the fifth day he was more alert
and hungry and was drinking on his own. Two weeks later he is acting like
he did at age 2! He is friendly, active playfull, energetic, doesn't have
dandruff and his coat is soft and glossy! We call this his miracle juice.
I never would have expected such dramatic results when two weeks ago I
thought we were going to bury another pet! Hope this might help someone
else.
Jan. 8 to Aug 2003 - The testimony
about Sambo our cat - (born July 1985) - We can hardly believe the
recovery Sambo is making. As of last July he had lost 10 pounds (he
had been 16 #) could hardly get up and down the stairs, slept a lot and
dumped around. Walked like he was 100 yrs. old and we were sure we were
going to loose him. He wasn't eating very much either. He slowly
was getting worse and worse. He was so skinny and his fur got matted
and terrible and then he started pulling his fur out - completely on both
sides of his body. It was an area 2" long and full length of his
body and on both sides. We never took him to the vet because we thought
he was just getting old and we would just have to accept the fact that
we won't have him very much longer.
We had just heard about Transfer Factor a natural
product to help support and boost the immune system. We thought if it helps
improve human's immune system, maybe it will help our kitty. We started
giving him 1-capsule of Transfer Factor on Jan. 8, 2003. Right away we
could tell that Sambo's immune system was functioning better and so on
Jan. 15, 2003 we increased the dose to 2 capsules a day.
His speedy recovery was hard to believe. He had regained 1/2 lb. by Jan.
18th and his fur was growing back on both sides and the rest of his fur
was looking much better too. It had become very matted and ugly.
Energy? He is bouncing up and down the stairs, up and down from the
bathroom sink ( he loves to drink the running water but hadn't been able
to make the jump for months) and hardly lays down for naps. Previously,
he had been sleeping a lot. Once again he is following Neil everywhere
as he had done for so many years, he was like our 'young' Sambo again and
we knew he was going to be fine!! It is now Oct 2003 and he
is still doing very, very good. Has a good appetite, has energy,
doesn't sleep very much in the daytime as we would expect an old cat to
do and has a lovely new fur coat.

BARF diet and natural remedies
I have a dog that my vet had on numerous antibiotics for months
with no "complete" accomplishments. The dog was tested for many things
and all came back as negative. Next my vet told me they needed to refer
me to another vet for more testing, they had no clue to her problem. This
is when I discovered your site!!! I am feeding her BARF
now and treating my dog with herbs and vitamins I am taking pictures of
her progress as she heals. This is on my bulldog, on her rear area, hind
right leg, upper portion about 6 months ago a cyst looking thing appeared
on her. To the vet we went. You have heard the story~ It got better never
well and then flares on her, vicious cycle.
Now, I have stopped ALL chemical use on her. A homeopathy
doctor advised me to give her one dose of hepar sulphruis 200c, which
I am expecting to receive any day I had to special order this. I was told
to wait 30 days and check for improvement. If still a problem to give one
dose of Silicea 200c and wait. I'm telling ya if pictures of seeing her
doesn't make a believer of one to stop these chemicals, then shame on 'em!
She will turn 3yrs old this May, she's a sweetheart and it breaks my heart
when she gives me the moon shot (so to speak) and I see her bo-bo. I just
can't really give Thanks enough to you for every thing you offer on your
website, you're an Angel ! Visit
Debbies' wonderful website for more info (she is currently in
the process of adding more information on her site)
Ebonique and nutrition
We got Ebonique about a year ago. She's about 4 years old, I think.
We had to keep her in the upstairs bathroom because she was so afraid of
the other cats. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that her food wasn't
touched. She was drooling all over everything. She also had
very small, hard bowel movements. Brought her downstairs and put her in
a cage in the livingroom and observed her. She drooled constantly and made
no attempt to eat or drink. Examining her, I found some very bad
teeth and raw, bleeding ulcers in her mouth on the gum line. I started
her on Amoxi drops and raw chicken. Not much response at first, but
in a couple of days, she was eating the chicken and the drooling lessened.
I've been feeding her only raw chicken and beef and now, she's esting very
well, the drooling has stopped and her bowel is much more normal.
Soon, she will be healthy enough for dentistry. As we're able to
afford it, I'm feeding the positive cats more raw meats and less canned
cat food. They're hungry less often and appear to be in better shape
than they were when they ate canned cat food. Sourpuss,
my old lady (22 or 23) eats raw meat several times a day. She has
a habit of falling asleep with her face in the dish of food. (Have
to get a photo of that - it's hysterical!) Eventually, I hope to be able
to feed only natural food. I am convinced that there are things in
commercial cat foods that are affecting their health. They do so much better
on a natural diet. Eileen

Dog with Lipo Sarcoma
From: Michael Sweitzer: TheForeruners@aol.com
"Just thought to update you on my dog Chance, almost 10 year old
Australian Kelpie, who was diagnosed with a Lipo Sarcoma. This is quite
different than a Lymphoma.A Lipo Sarcoma is rare particularly in dogs and
or cats. It is more common in people. Anyway, the moral of the story is
that Chance is doing fantastic. His change in diet, the supplements, flax
oil and all the support from people like yourself and your site has
helped out considerably.
The vets said that his chances of survival were slim. From just a little
over 3 weeks ago when he was first diagnosed, the swelling on his front
left leg where the Sarcoma was pronounced has gone down considerably.
He is walking on it with no problem, and is back to his nutty crazy personality.
Although the diet change was an initial shock on his system, it is well
worth it. Maybe I should have changed his diet to raw food more gradually
but I believe that a shcok to the body is sometimes beneficial. Chance
didnt want to eat for about 2 and a half days because of the changes and
the supplements. But I wasn't concerned about him not eating because I
knew that fasting is beneficial to a sick animal. Fasting allows the system
to focus its energy toward healing the cancer. Now he eats like a champ
again.
Here's his diet
change and supplements:
Raw meats (Beef, chicken,
fish (whole)
Puree vegetables (Mostly
any kind)
Flax
oil (in water and mixed in his puree vegetables and raw meats
As far as treats he gets
beef jerky strips only (The real beef strips) and
not alot. Also, for a dog
with Cancer I found that it is best to not over feed
Herbs and herbal extracts:
Blessed
Thistle: Some dog's may have a tough time metabolizing Blessed thistle,
so keep it limited. It does have great tumor healing abilities. (available
here)
Antioxidant and multiviatmin
for dogs
Astragulus (promotes a healthy
body, great immune booster) (Liquid only)
Burdock (promotes healthy
blood levels) Liquid only
Hawthorne Berrie (Promotes
Cardiovascular health) Liquid only.
*Slowly introduce the Hawthorne.
So Chance is doing fantastic, and is putting
weight back on to."

Hi Shirley,
I just wanted to thank you for your site and send you my story so you
can post it if you like. My cat, Madison, was sick. At first it started
with one eye and one nostril kind of running and him sneezing. Then I began
to see something inside his one nostril. Within a week it grew so that
it was even with his nostril. Obviously he couldn't breathe well and he
sneezed a lot. I took him to the vet and they snipped a bit of it off and
did a biopsy. That was on Aug 25th. On Sept. 7th they called to tell me
that it was most likely cancer. It wasn't for absolute sure, but it seemed
to be lymphoma and yes the thing in Maddie's nose was a tumor. Since the
doc had clipped it from sight, in a little over a week it had grown back
and was wider and bigger! I had resigned myself to the fact that my cat
of almost 14 years had cancer, but the idea that I had to look at it and
the fact that he was having so much trouble breathing was not acceptable
to me. I asked the doc how we could shrink the tumor and he said steroids
would do it, but only for a month or so. Then it wouldn't work anymore.
Besides chemo and all that there was little he said we could do. I told
him to get me some steroids and I would pick them up in a couple of days.
Poor Maddie, I could tell he was feeling basically ok. He wasn't a lump
or anything, he just wanted to be able to breathe and I wanted to help
him with that.The next day I went on line to look for homeopathic recipes
and found your site. I found the articles on how bad steroids were and
decided not to go that route. From a few mentions on your site I got a
game plan. I went to the natural food store and got the following : Flaxseed
Oil, Cat Vitamins and Licorice Root drops. I began giving him these
with as much high quality food he wanted, which was a lot. After a week
he seemed happier and the tumor didn't seem to be getting bigger and seemed
like it was less swollen. Then I went and got him the Blessed
Thistle (available
here)
. And Holy Cow! Soon with alternating all of these things,
his tumor began receding. In a week and a half it was completely gone,
he could breathe! His sneezing continued for a while and for one day he
sneezed blood, but that went away. It was like his whole sickness was running
in reverse. As of today, Oct 12, he is absolutely great. He is more energetic
and loving then he has been i years and his coat is shiny and he hardley
ever even sneezes anymore. His nose that use to have one side distorted
and swollen with a tumor in it is absolutely perect. it is a miracle and
I thank the people who posted on your site about the Blessed Thistle (available
here) and steroid problems and all of it and I thank you so much.
I still give him the herbs and vitamins and oil, but I don't do it as
often. About every other meal I just give him food. I totally had guessed
on how much to give him, but it seemed to work. If anyone is having this
problem with their animal feel free to contact me. Obviously I am not a
professional, but, anything I can do to help anyone
else in this situation would be a pleasure. Thanks again! Madison
thanks you, too!

Flaxseed oil cured a cat's tumor
Bob and Maggie from Tucson, Arizona
email: ps91@aol.com
The cat next door to my friends house had a large tumor on it's neck
and it would carry it's head to one side. The cat's owners
went on vacation and left instructions with the catsitter that if the animal
got worse to have it put down.
Having read of the Flaxseed Oil and
Cottage Cheese treatment on Shirley's website, I suggested it's use
to the catsitter. She fed the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese to
the cat for about two weeks. After that time the owners returned
and were surprised the cat was still around.
Soon we noticed that the tumor had shrunk and the cat's head was better
aligned. It has now been two years and the tumor has entirely disappeared
and the cat's head is almost perfect. The cat is still doing cat
things, like chasing birds and appears to be in perfect health.

Degenerative Myelopathy
Jo-Ann Satin (NY)
Thu, 11 Apr 2002
email: gsd0607@aol.com
In 1994, when he was 6 years old, I took Sasha to the NY Animal Medical
Center after I noticed him favoring his back right leg. I had an appointment
with an Orthopedist, expecting a diagnosis of HD or arthritis. After looking
at Sasha, she called in a neurologist who pointed out Sasha's scraped nails
on his rear feet. He then explained Degenerative Myelopathy to me. It is
a degenerative, autoimmune disease that results in the victims' own immune
system attacking and destroying the myelin lining of the nerves in the
spinal column. It is VERY similar to the human diseases Multiple Sclerosis
and Lou Gehrig's Disease(ALS) The vet was very pessimistic, as there was
no known treatment, and the prognosis was bad. Most dogs's legs were
totally paralyzed within months. But I knew that Sasha was a fighter,
and so was I!.
During the vet visit I had mentioned that I was giving Sasha herbs and
vitamins, including Yucca, since I thought his condition was Arthritis.
The neurologist said that since I was interested in the 'natural' route,
I should continue with the vitamin E, as it was an antioxident, and
as such, it might be somewhat effective in this autoimmune disease.
I did hours and hours of research on the internet. At that time, I only
got 2 hits when I did a search on "Degenerative Myelopathy". Today,
there are many, many sites from which one could get help and support(Including
the DM support group to which I belong). I found out that indeed,
this was an automimmune disease, and free radicals were part of the problem.
The next thing I did was call a friend of mine who is into natural nutrition
He told me to take Sasha off meat immediately, as that is one of the greatest
sources of free radicals. (I had been giving him LAMB dog food..thinking
that was the best for his skin, and the least allergenic). As it
turned out, lamb is one of the fattiest meats, and therefore creates the
most free radicals. I changed Sasha's diet to pure vegetarian.
I got vegetarian dog food, and started do a lot of cooking for him myself.
At the time I had not heard of the raw food (BARF) diet, or I might have
tried it.
Sasha was never on any medication from a Vet. I gave him every antioxident
you can think of (Vit E, Vit C, Pycnogenol, Evening
Primrose Oil, Hi Lignan Flax Seed Oil and
Cottage Cheese, Lecithin, Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, Milk
Thistle for liver activity, Saw
Palmetto for Prostate, Hawthorne for heart protection, Vitamins
A,B-complex, D, Raw garlic, brewers yeast,Green tea capsules, Coenzyme-10,
Ginger, Prozyme). The only meat he ever ate was chicken, but mostly he
was a vegetarian. I usually cooked eggs, carrots, squash, many kinds of
beans, broccoli, tomatoes, tofu, lots of garlic, brown rice and whatever
other veggies I had around, into a stew for him. I would sometimes
add chicken. I took for chiropractic, and a swim therapy class. I noticed
an incredible improvement on this regimen. The swim therapy was terrrific
for his deteriorating stamina and muscle tone, as regular exercise took
a lot out of him. This was particularly true in the hot weat! her!
After a pretty short time, he was able to climb the stairs up to my room,
and jump on the bed again. Sasha lived for years on this regimen.
He was active and happy until end. Sadly, Sasha died five years after the
DM diagnosis, from BLOAT...but he was still able walk and climb stairs(altho
slowly by the end) when he crossed the bridge.

web sites where medical and additional information about Degenerative
Myelopathy can be found: http://www.pawcare.com/rclemmons/index.htm and

Charles
W. Brown, DVM - "My colleagues and I have found this product
(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. Richard Bennett, Ph.D., an Infectious Disease Microbiologist
and Immunologist 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,

Notes
from Shirley:Holistic veterinarians teach
that processed pet food (meaning COOKED food) is the main cause of illness
and premature death in the modern dog and cat. In December 1995, the British
Journal of Small Animal Practice published a paper contending that processed
pet food suppresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart
and other diseases. This research, initially conducted by Dr Tom Lonsdale,
was researched further by the Australian Veterinary Association and proven
to be correct. For a return to health, pets require a diet which
strengthens the immune system and most closely resembles that which they
would get in the wild (meaning RAW food). Grains are NOT part of the natural
diet of wild dogs and cats. Carnivores cannot maintain long term production
of the quantity of amylase enzyme necessary to properly digest and utilize
the carbohydrates. raw food diet for pet
There
are newest research on why you should avoid feeding soy
products to your animals (soy products are extensively used in pet food).
"...the soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or "antinutrients".
First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of
trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion. These inhibitors
are large, tightly folded proteins that are not completely deactivated
during ordinary cooking. They can produce serious gastric distress, reduced
protein digestion and chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test
animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological
conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin,
a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.
Trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinin are growth inhibitors." Sally

Transition to raw food
Charlotte Oppe
Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001
email: mailto:c.oppe2@ntlworld.com
Dear Shirley,
It’s been a long time since I last wrote to you and I thought I should
write and tell you about Coll’s progress. The transition to raw food went
smoothly enough and there was noticeable improvement in his general condition
but there was clearly a more serious problem with his skin. By Easter,
with the first of the warm weather his skin had deteriorated so badly that
he had to go back onto antibiotics and steroids. However this time I found
a new vet who, though sadly not homeopathic had healthy SUSPICIONS about
modern pet food (the first vet that I have met to have this attitude).
That said, he knew nothing about raw feeding. He gave me an anti-fungal
wash as he said fungal infections were often a complication of mange. The
wash worked a treat and within a couple of months I was able to return
with a beautifully healthy dog. I have to say his reaction was that he
was surprised that the dog had healed so well and that there were no scars.
The ear infections have continued for some time but the problem is only
with one ear now and over the summer with repeated use of ear cleansers
and drops a lot of hard wax has come out. His condition is really good.
I am amazed at how good his coat is, shiny and sweet smelling. No fleas
or tics this year. He doesn’t moult as much as he used to and everyone
comments on how healthy he looks. He is much more obedient and responsive
to command (and they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!)
His feeding programme is as follows:
Big Labrador (approx 34 kilos or 74lbs)
1 lbs of either raw beef (flank – usually used for beef burgers and is
quite fatty) or organic chicken. I give him half a whole chicken and cut
it up in pieces, bones and all. I usually give 4/5 days beef and 4 days
chicken. It seems like a lot of meat but he is the correct weight now.
I have noticed that his stools are harder when I fed him chicken bones
than beef (same amount of veg.)
1 lb of selected raw organic veg including cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage,
carrot and celery. I have had a few problems with him being sick and it
seems that if I feed him MORE veg than this he is sick. I mix it with some
of the meat in the food processor and some water.
Organic flax oil.

Routine
Vaccination: Is it really safe and effective?
Dr. Richard Pitcairn D.V.M. Ph.D - "In this article we begin
to address the subject of vaccinosis, the general
name for chronic dis-ease caused by vaccines. For some readers the very
idea that vaccines are anything but wonderful and life-saving may come
as a surprise, and it's not a very pleasant one. After all, the general
population pictures vaccines as one of modern medicine's best and brightest
moments, saving literally millions from the scourge of diseases like poliomyelitis
and smallpox. "
Dr. McCluggage DVM - - "...we must stop advocating yearly
vaccines because of the harm we are doing to the animals we vaccinate.
He covered the homeopathic concept of "vaccinosis". Vaccinosis is a disease
entity that may be introduced through vaccinating animals or people. Once
vaccinosis develops, there is a disturbance in the bodies vital forces
that leads to symptoms of chronic disease that can be very difficult (and
often impossible) to cure. Dr. McCluggage also stated that there are no
good reasons to recommend annual vaccinations for our companion animals.
"
Donna Starita Mehan DVM -"Routine" vaccination
has adverse side-effects, either short or long term. With vaccines
that are repeated year after year, the frequency and severity of these
side-effects in our pets has increased dramatically. Most of the problems
involve the immune system. After all, the immune system is what vaccines
are designed to stimulate. But they do so in a very unnatural way that
can overwhelm and confuse the immune system and can result in increased
susceptibility to acute infections (such as ear infections in dogs, bladder
infections in cats), chronic tapeworm problems, or in more degenerative
cases, cancer."

Vaccines:
are they really safe and effective? Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the

fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking
the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through
the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases
such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international

I had no other solutions, or using antibiotics

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 support and boost
the immune system. Animals with a healthy functioning immune system can
overcome almost any health challenge." Prevaccination

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!

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.
