Hello
I have a handsome 10 year old lab mix name Cisco. I notice he has a fatty pouch on his right side. What homemade remedy can I put on it to reduce it. I have been giving him tumeric in this food. I was wondering about putting the castor oil on it. Thanks so much

Dear Christel,
yes, I am familiar with her. Some of her claims have some merit.
Good luck,

I am currently treating my dogs for heartworm using Hulda Clark’s detox/parasite removal regimen. I wonder if you are familiar with her teachings. What I have read so far has left me mindboggled. But it all makes sense. A friend of mine has an old (over 16 human years) golden girl named Sassy. When I first met them a few months ago, she told me about a tumor on one of her paws she has been battling with for more than a year. After a lot of research I am convinced she has bonecancer. I started having my friend wrap Sassy’s the paw in a clay poultice, changing it every day (now twice a day). The tumor eventually went down and the rosetta shaped chambers fell off, leaving nice clean tissue. She stopped with the clay and soon a sore reappeared. I scolded her for stopping and allowing Sassy to lick on it constantly. I am pretty sure the cancer is advanced, because now the poultices are forever drawing puss from other regions around where the original tumor was. She’s keeping it wrapped now and I also had her to start the same regimen as I am doing with my dogs, since Hulda Clark’s research has brought her to the conclusion that cancer is connected to parasites (among other things). This is just in a nutshell. I wonder if you are familiar with her research and what you think about it. I am using parsley water, black walnut hull, woodworm, and cloves. I also added Hawthorm berry, burdock, pau d’arco, They love to nibble on the cleaver growing wild around my yard, sometimes I pick dandelion and add it to their meals (food processed of course), which consists of carrots, some green leaf veggie (kale, greens), sometimes legumes, sometimes soy bean sprouts, celery, squash, red or green cabagge, fresh garlic or powder, cooked brown rice or sweet potatoes, and some meat (cut up or ground). I switch around so they get a little variety. After that they get a chicken leg quarter. Occasionally they also get either chicken or turkey necks, pig feet, or a soup bone. Occasionally I add chicken or beef liver or kidney, beef heart, chicken heart or gizzards. My diogs range from 60-80 lbs. I have also recently read that turmeric is supposed to cause tumors (of any kind) to shrink and go away. I gave some to my friend for Sassy and told her to start giving it to her right away. Sorry this got a bit lengthy, but your input would be greatly appreciated.

My dog has been fighting Lymphoma for 3 months. she had heavy chemo the first 5 weeks at $400 a shot. We have maxed out our credit cards and don’t know what else to do. The vet gave us some low dose chemo pills, and predizone that she takes every other day, Her lymph nodes are still growing. I read your column on ginger and started it today. Is there any thing else that we can do to reduce the swelling? Thank you

My 11 yr. old golden retriver (love of my life) has been diagnoised with HSA. She recently had surgery to have her spleen removed. I am currently feeding her a high protein – low carb diet. I am including these supplements to her meal…c (1000 2x daily) A – E -Ginseng (500mg)- Alfalfa – alpha Lipoic Acid – echinacea extract and pet tabs. Are these supplements safe for her.

Thank you.

My dog\’s lungs are filled with tumors my vet says she doesn\’t have much time left. I heard Red Clover is good for dog\’s with cancer. What do you know about this? Can this be given safely with prednisone?

Abbey, yes:
the possible blood lowering effect of ginger would make me avoid it in the case of either insulinoma or other factors that could also cause low blood sugar. Thanks for sharing this information!
Best,

So if my dog has a pancreatic tumor (cancer of the pancreas) which secretes an insulin like substance causing her blood sugar to drop, she should not have ginger. Just confirming b/c this sounds like the one situation where a dog with a cancer diagnosis should not ingest ginger.
