Some people can't do penicillin, or shellfish, or nuts..you get the idea. Best, Dr D Lynne,

We had surgery for the removal of the tumor and are treating with chemotherapy, and trying to treat with a combination of herbs and vitamins, including Aloha Medicinals' K-9 Immunity. Two weeks ago Oly was also diagnosed with valley fever after a scarey elevation in his temperature following chemotherapy. Now he is on fluconazole to treat the valley fever, as well. The K-9 Immunity seems to make him feel poorly and we're wondering if that's because fluconazole is an anti-fungal and K-9 Immunity is a mushroom-based product. The folks at Aloha Medicinals have not been presented with this problem before and did not know the answer. Thank you for your time. One of our dogs, Oly, has osteosarcoma.

And the antimicrobial effects are very nice indeed. The problem is the batch standardization and lack of control over what we are doing, but that is another really interesting point about the medicinal....thanks for your input! Dr D Hi Clou,

According to this field of study they feel there is a definite link of fungi in the body to contributing to many diseases including cancer. I have used it as a tea in treating the yeast infections and it works very well.

WHat are the bennifits of eact and are there any down falls. I know it is hard to find vets that do thermography and pet scans but I have found one. I am curious is it is worth the extra $ for mass cell. My concern for my dog is that it has spread and I want to find out how much and where. My dogs fine needle asperiates were clear in his liver and pancreas but My gut is telling me he is getting worse. Chemo is not an option for him since I do not believe in it. Any help would be great, Thanks Kammee Cr Dressler,

P'au De Arco has been mentioned in our <a href="http://tripawds.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">Tripawd forums</a> before, and used by some Tripawd pawrents on their dogs. We'll be sure to link to this post wherever it's mentioned from here on out. You're pawesome, keep it up!
