The goal of homeopathy treatment is to return the body to a state of homeostasis as cancer is a manifestation of an unbalanced system. This is done by addressing specific imbalances as well as boosting the immune system so the body can begin healing by itself.
Food medicine is top priority!
1. Change to a raw, freeze dried or home cooked diet. Recommendations are:
2. Add to a raw, freeze dried or home cooked diet:
3. Switch to a holistic vet and do not over vaccinate! Use a titer instead which tests antibodies for vaccine viruses.
4. STOP ALL - Flea, tick and heart worm treatments. They are poisonous chemicals used to protect your dog from parasites, but these poisonous chemicals are absorbed into your dog's body. If your dog was diagnosed with cancer you want to focus on strengthening your dog's immune system so their body can fight off the cancer - if you continue with flea, tick and heart worm treatments your dog's body will be preoccupied in trying to process and neutralize the chemical toxins from these treatments instead of fighting the cancer! Instead use:
- Essential oils diluted to use as sprays or shampoos (remember your pet's nose is much more sensitive than yours, so use in small quantities!) Lavender, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Rose, Geranium, and Cedar Oils diluted in water or added to shampoo.
- Fresh crushed garlic can be added to their food. 1/2 to 2 cloves per day depending on their size. No more than 1/2 clove per 20 pounds.
- Vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be added to water 1 teaspoon per quart of water. Or mix with water 1:1 and spray on their coat.
Concerned about heart worm? Dr. Karen Becker advises against heart worm treatment for dogs with cancer due to the fact that if your dog was bitten by a heart worm positive mosquito, it will take well over a year even up to two years for adult worms to form in your dog's heart. Most cancer patients do not make it to two years.
5. Start giving supplements:
- Turmeric with black pepper paste (turmeric reduces inflammation and black pepper allows the body to absorb turmeric).
- Mushrooms are a great immune booster - CAS Options or AHCC
- If internal bleeding is a concern use Yunnan Baiyao - which is a heostatic powdered medicine used to stop bleeding during the Vietnam War. It is a traditional Chinese medicine.
- Glucosamine: Treats arthritis, joint pain, improve mobility
- Fish oil: Alleviate skin allergies, improves coat and skin
- Probiotics such as yogurt: Treat diarrhea and digestive problems
- Mushrooms: Immune booster
- Coconut Oil: Repels flees due to ingredient lauric acid - 1 teaspoon per 20 pounds.
