[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 11/09/2009: Vegamom from Lubbock, Texas writes: "Swelling in my dane
I have a great dane that is 12 months old. She has had staph as a puppy in her paws. When we got her she had been to the vet to get shots and came down with parvo from the vets office. She has been healthy but recently her back paw swelled from the elbow on down. It stayed swelled for a few weeks. Started her on acv in her water and 1tsp. garlic in her food. The swelling went away but now it is back but in her ears, the flaps and the top of her head. Has anyone else dealt with this? She has been a "special" dog since day one. I think her immune system is messed up. Thanks."

I also treated him with ACV and vinegar.I also used dried nettle herb (fresh chopped if you have it), parsley, coriander, green barley powder and MSM to cleanse the blood and boost the immune system. Also virgin organic coconut oil is a fabulous remedy for any skin conditions with dogs - it helped my puppy with hives which would stay for weeks otherwise. Just put on your hands and rub over the coat - my pup loves it so much he liks my hands too!
He is now 10 months, and doing well.
I wouldn't recomend more vaccinations, and it goes without saying that raw food diet is essential.
Good luck and keep up the healthy foods and herbs - your dog has the power to heal inside, and you simply need to strengthen her body to help nature do it;s thing :)"

I used it to cure my 60 lb lab mix's kennel cough. I purchased the liquid for and gave her about 14 drops daily. I usually just mixed it with a little peanut butter or egg and she gobbled it right up. Within 2 days her kennel cough was gone! It was recommended to me for any ailment that could be helped by an immune boost. I was able to purchase it at my local Vitamin Shoppe."

It is known to cure cancer so I am giving it do my Doberman with cartlidge cancer. We just recently got started on it, so we we see."
