What supplements would you recommend to help fight the cancer? I am currently giving him grizzly salmon oil, pure gold hemp oil and a product called omega glo-coat with omegas 3-6-9. Am I suppose be giving him any omega 6 because I read this causes the inflammation? Question, my dog has a sinus carcinoma. What supplements would you recommend to help fight the cancer?

While some experts believe that cancer in dogs is simply caused by dogs living longer, I think that in the contrary it is often the reason for them living shorter. I feel that cancer in dogs is a civilization disease. With all the environmental pollutants, highly processed foods with questionable ingredients, there is no wonder that cancer and immune disorders are on the rise. Interesting point about the omega-6 fatty acids. I just wrote an article on unsaturated fatty acids recently, so I do know that omega-6 have pro-inflammatory properties. I can see how in excess this could cause a lot of problems. I believe that food has a lot to do with cancer.

My desciion not to go to vets was based on all I read online -I cannot give her any distress and so far after the holistic things I am giving her she rapidly improved after a brief period of being a bit lethargic and always licking the tumour, etc, anbd became lively and active. This started in Febrauary this year. I am really hoping for some guidance as so much is confusing. From what I can gather she has mammary gland tumour and it is not benign. Surgery in such cases works (or works best if you will) at early stages-and this merely means postpones things. Surgery itself carries risks. Besides the pain involved before after and during...Chemo is not considered so very effective and also carries its own iatrogenic fallout. I want to know about the following: 1. Ginger-how to give in the form of fresh root and how much-cooked or raw juice? 2. Echinacea liquid-how much per day (they say high doses for 2 weeks and then stop)? 3. Turmeric-I want to give from the powder we ourselves use in cooking- so how much and again raw or cooked with her soup? 4. I am also giving Vit C ester total 1500 mg divided into 3 doses -so far bowel tolerance is not reached. Should I increase -I am giving it for so long -when do I stop and how (one should decrease gradually they say)?

Very interesting information, and scientifically based; not opinion. Something that I find interesting is that the Dog Community et al seems to have a better understanding on carnovior diet in regards to gooooooood health. People should basically read these articles. However, the Omega information may just want to be revisited to see what science has now proven in that area. Hello, here is some updated information on Omega 6 and Omega 3.
