QUESTION

01/27/2011: Marie from Branford, Ct: "My dog is 20 years old. She is a Japanese Chin/ Shitzue. She has an ear tumor and I know cannot have surgery. Is there ANYTHING I can do to take some of the pain and itching away? Besides ottomax? Anything I can make with home stuff? I am desperate for help.. I know she is old but I just want to make her not be in so much pain."

01/28/2011: Maple65 from Vancouver, Bc, Canada replies: "I suggest you use a home remedy, Made with a tablespoon of warm oil and half a teaspoon of powdered Turmeric, make a runny paste, this is a root that has anti-inflamatory properites and is also good to heal itching, Olive oil, pure coconut oil, will do."
05/12/2012: Peter from Elliot Lake, On. Canada replies: "For internal tumors I use Cessiac, that is CESSIAC and NOT essiac. I also use Protandim concurrent with cessiac. In four months this turned around my dog's kidney cancer. Rocky is over 13 yrs and runs around like a puppy now. Use cessiac straight out of the bottle. Give 2 oz spread out over the day by dropper or syringe. Protandim for cancer patient is a 1/4 tablet am and pm. Neither of these have adverse affects. There are a few others herbs that are appropriate as well but these are working for us. four months should tell."

09/06/2010: Jordan's Mom from Lansing, Mi Usa: "Cat with Large Tumor - Need Ted's Help

I wrote B4, no one has answrd. I have 15yr old cat with large tumor in back of throat, very red & meaty looking. My boy was having lots of gagging & the tumor would bleed every so often. Am so confused & cannot find safe & proper animal dosage of H2O2 therapy for cancer/tumors. I have 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide & found evidence of a trial that was done with rats curing their tumors in 15-60 days using dilution of . 45% H2O2. I have diluted to. 5% & threw in a tad more of distilled water, not knowing how to get to. 45% or if that is even too strong or what, for my fur boy. I also found a small atomizer & spritz the tumor with that a couple of x's when I do the oral dosing. I usually give Jordan about 6cc's 2xday, but wonder if that is too much? I am also giving him Mesosilver 2xday and have just started giving him ACV, water & bicarb (also potassium supplement). I do not have much money right now to buy anything else. I give him Pet tinic for vitamins. He is not drinking any water on his own, tho I know how to dilute for pet drinking water. I give him subcu fluids each day and syringe feed him. Tho he always acts extremely interested in eating, he will not eat on his own, but will eat baby food or cat food done in a blender. He has not spit up blood or been gagging for about 5days now, which is good. But I do not want to hurt his insides with the H2O2. He has a small sore on outside of nose. He has been getting frequent snotty drainage from one nostril. I had been 2xday spritzing his nose once, each time I gave oral H2O2, but then I got worried maybe it was a burn from the H2O2 so I quit that."

11/18/2010: Ginger Cat from Lancaster, Ca replies: "Has anyone responded to your dilema with you cat and the tumor?
I too, have a 19 year old cat, who despite excellent blood work showing no organ problems, had two abcessed teeth removed last summer and a rabies vacination same day as surgery (vet wouldn't do surgery without shot - BAD IDEA). Since then she has had nothing but downhill problems, multiple eye infections, drugs beyond counting, then suddenly in the space of two hours a large lump popped out on her cheek under her right eye, hard to the touch, on her upper jaw bone. The vet wanted to simply write her off, because of her age and euthenize her or do surgery to the tune of $800.00 with no guarentees about the outcome. Having already been stripped of about $1,500.00 over 5 months from endless vet bills and drug experimentation on her, I said, enough is enough. I brought her home and immediately took her off all drugs and started using homeopathic silver in her eyes and orally for her congested lungs. Within two days she was markedly better.

However, a month later and despite continued silver both orally and topically, the lump has not disappeared. Does anyone know if any of the mentioned treatments for dogs and lumps/tumors, etc. Are actually SAFE for cats? Cats metabolize things VERY differently than dogs, and many things that are safe for dogs, can actually poison and kill a cat. Any help would be appreciated because she is NOT happy or comfortable and does an awful lot of pacing. She does NOT look like a 20 year old cat, still has lots of interest in life and does NOT have that "I am ready to die" message in her eyes of face. Thanks you anyone out there with suggestions."

11/20/2010: Merryanne from Orange City, Florida, Usa replies: "I have 3 cats, and I know they love fresh raw meat, I have a new cat the is 2 yo, and it took her a week to try the ground turkey, I have found that there is a lot of bad cat food and useless cat food on the market. Raw liver is the best health medicine for cats, it has fantastic healing strength in it, serve at room temperature, if the cat or dog has CA or tumors give only raw meat, no carbs, ( this according to some information on this site about CA in people) will starve the CA.

After a month, the tumor came back. The vet doesnt want to operate on her again because her skin is not yet completely healed. He recommended that I do chemotherapy and let britney take Doxorubicin anti cancer medicine. I got scared with the side effects so I told the vet to hold it off.

I'm still waiting for the essiac tea I ordered. But can you recommend some "first aid" while im waiting for her essiac tea to arrive? her tumor is really big though she's still running around, eating a lot and still grooming fine. Pls help me what other remedy I can give Britney.

Thanks, Joyce

08/29/2010: Vickie from Lansing, Michigan: "I have a 15yr old male cat who was diagnosed at the vet's with a sore throat. I viewed it myself over a week ago nearly dropping my jaw at this large, red meaty looking massing covering much of his throat area. I am waiting for Sovereign Silver to come. I have been squirting water and Ester C in his mouth a couple of times a day but sometimes he gags and the mass bleeds. I also have just started Vascustatin 2x day. He seems able to take that better, perhaps because of the taste. His appetite is so, so. He seems to be breathing okay but coughs and chokes a lot when he tries to eat. I need something STAT to try to start shrinking this thing. I do not have tons of money to buy many different products & I feel time is not on my side to fetch products that are nearly impossible to find. Please help. Anyone have any luck with Colloidal Silver and oral tumors?"

My dog friend (10 years old) 'Max' is a Border Collie and he has a tumor probably positioned around his abdomen and has now burst and has about a kettle full of blood outside of his stomach area. I need urgent advice please, any comments, ideas, etc are welcome.

Many thanks"

I think Max has 'Haemangioma' which has burst and leaked the blood into outside of his stomach. Now the blood also thickening and I am really running out of time.

Please advise if anybody has any idea on this subject, what can I do?

Any comments, ideas will do.
Many thanks"

03/05/2010: Anita from Croxley Green, Herts, Uk replies: "Dear All

I have to revise a bit of the information on Max's blood thickening. It is actually NOT thickening so therefore the burst tumor is still bleeding.

I have an idea of keep draining the blood off (by the vet) and in the meantime trying to fix the tumor itself and then have to regenerate the blood what Max's lost. would this be achievable? Can I please have any comments from you guys, what can I use as a remedy in this case? anything"

09/01/2010: Debbiefudge from Brighton, East Sussex Uk replies: "Hi. I need some advice or suggestions please for my male Shihtzu. Teddy is 3 years old and is having a real problem with his left ear. I have him bathed, cut etc. , every 6 weeks. As I like to keep his coat short. My Groomer, of course plucks the hair out of his ears everytime. She told me she thought he had an ear infection. So I started using ACV and coconut oil, in equal quantities to wash out his ear. I give him natural yogurt also. And use bottled water for all my animals to drink. I cleaned as much muck out of his ears as possible and carried on with the ear wash for about 2 weeks. I also, tried him on ACV and bicarb in his food for a couple of weeks. I always put a little olive oil in their food everyday. There was no improvement in his ear. So off to the vets we went. He was given a course of antibiotics and steroids, which I was apprehensive about but at the end of them we went back to the vet. No improvement. Now the vet says he has a lot of hair, deep down in his ear and that is the problem. So next week he is going for an operation for them to pull all the hair out. Which of course, I'm really worried about. My main concern is, that as it's hair, surely it is going to grow back down there again?? So, then what? His ears, both of them, now, smell disgusting! Poor baby. So, I've been doing the ACV/coconut oil wash again and putting in herbal ear drops. (phytopet) But nothing is helping the smell! He is not scratching his ear, seems ok in himself. Eating well. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do for him to help please???"
10/19/2010: Danielle from Newburgh, Indiana replies: "Sounds like classic food allergy to me! "ears and rears" is what the veterinary dermatologist call it around here. Any anal gland problems? What is the dog eating? Change it and it may heal itself. However, 50% water/apple cider vinegar will stop any yeast from growing by changing the ears pH. U might have to dilute more if red and bleeding."
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  12/21/2010: Esther from Roaring Spring, 013 replies: "In answer to Debbiefudge with the male ShihTzu Ted. I have ShihTzu's also. Ever hear of Colloidal Silver? It's the best stuff for fungal infections. Is a natural antibiotic & all around miracle remedy as far as I'm concerned. Good for human & animals. Cures flu, colds, staph, & you name it. Put that in the dogs ear & it will clear up any ear infection in days. I buy it at Swanson's on line. I buy the liquid & the tube. My daughter-in-laws boy had a skin infection with a long name. The Dr told she could get a tube of Solar (spelling)shield for it Same stuff. They use it for a lot of things in hospitals but don't tell the public that. My one female Shih has fatty tumors the Vet said. She had as high as 12 several weeks ago. I gave her Dissolve a Chinese mixture with some results. Then I gave her Olive Leaf pills 1 a day. Echinacea, Transfer Factor 3 a day, Beta Glucan 1 a day.

Then read about the Turmeric about 2 weeks ago. I've been giving her 1 a day ever since. Her "best friend" licked the one on her spine & side of her neck one at a time. They opened & oozed blood & junk. I used the colloidal silver on them to prevent infection. One on her side got bigger & hurt her when I just touched it. This morning she licked that one open herself. I've put the silver on it twice so far. I use the liquid & the stuff in the tube both on them. Some have disappeared & she still has about 5 left. I'll continus giving her the Tumeric especially & some of the others. I use organic ground beef to put the pills in.

Oh & I started her on Life Cell Support from Silver Creek Ranch. It's an herbal detoxifier. The turmeric & detoxifier seemed to have done the most good. The one on her leg is growing some & looking worse like the other two did so will burst soon too. Hope this helps someone. I will be leery of giving her further shots yearly since I've read this causes a lot of this. I feed Wellness food not junk dog food like most popular brands are."

[QUESTION]  07/31/2009: Christy from Los Alamos, NM, USA: "I NEED a cure! My 8-yr-old yellow Lab, Sandy, has adnexal displaysia. That's a fancy word for benign tumors all over his skin--the worst ones grow between his toes. Two weeks ago, I agreed to surgery to remove the worst ones (and 2 toes) from his left fore-paw. Unfortunately, I had a second follow-up appt. with the vet yesterday and the tumor has grown back almost a big as the original! It was only removed 2 weeks ago! He could barely walk--that's why I agreed to the surgery. The vet and I both knew there was the possibility of it coming back--eventually.

He's the sweetest soul in a dog's body I've ever met--everyone who meets him loves him. I love him. It's so unfair that he has tumors all over his body--his paws are the worst.

I need some hope for him--and for me. I need something that honestly works to shrink these awful tumors. I want him to be able to walk and enjoy his life. And, I'm willing to do what it takes to make him happy.

Thanks"

01/01/2010: Diane from Lakeland, Fl replies: "I have been doing a lot of research on the Internet about fatty cysts in dogs also known as lipomas. My black lab has this. What I am reading is about being PH Balanced. Acid vs. Alkaline. And this applies to people too. I read that if our bodies are PH Balanced we will not get cancer or arthritis. Cancer cells cannot survive in an alkaline environment. I also read somewhere on Earth Clinic that a person had lipomas and started drinking alkaline water. The lipomas started shrinking. You can purchase Alkaline drops from Health Food stores. A few drops in your water is all you need. And this applies to people and dogs. About dogs... they came from wolves. Wolves do not get cancer. Wolves eat a balanced diet. Meat which is acidic and the bones which are alkaline. We give our dogs garbage commercial food which is not PH balanced. Their diet needs to get more alkaline in it. Alkaline foods are fruits and vegetables. Bones are also alkaline and they do sell bone meal which could be sprinkled on their food. Add alkaline drops to their water bowl. Search the Internet about PH Balance and you will find some very informative articles."

He has had two bladder surgeries to remove stones and two urohydropulsions to force stones out that were small enough. He has been on Potassium citrate to keep his urine alkaline for 10.5 years now, and he has probably 5 fatty lipomas on his trunk. So this is just my story. Obviously, in his case, the alkaline body stage is not helping. Just thought I would throw my dogs case in the mix. thanks"

I was taking shark cartilage for osteoarthritis (which did relieve the pain) and added some to my cats food. After a few weeks I took her back to the vet for an exam.

07/05/2010: Lachelle from Hampton, Ga, Usa: "Question: Where exactly am I supposed to purchase these items for "Ted's Remedies" and would this work for a 10yr old male dog with a SPINAL VERTEBRAL TUMOR on the C3 inoperable; therefore unable to determine the type? Please reply ASAP life is short."

Replies
07/16/2010: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Lachelle:

If most things are hard to find, castor oil, lysine, sea salt and perhaps pickled olives might be easiest to find. A castor oil hot pack can be prepared to apply to the spinal area. For example castor oil is very thick by nature and can be applied to the back of the dog. Then a hot pack is then applied to the back. A hot water bag with some towel soak with castor oil is another possibility. A flaxseed oil might be mixed with the castor oil somewhat such as 50% to the castor oil solution. If the dog can eat and don't have cachexia, then there is a chance they can be helped, and lysine say 1000 mg is given hourly, dissolved in water and then is added into a syringe without the needles of course and put into the mouth of the dog. Lysine is likely to be available in most drug stores and supermarket. It can be given for about 4-6 doses a day. This may increase the fever as it allows the white blood cells to see the cancer and may take a couple of days to settle down. I heard someone has effectively got ridden of a large tumors by just applying flaxseed oil hot packs, but I believe that it works for certain tumors and worth the try, but not likely to work with all tumor. Most causes of cancer from the people I do see is always linked virally. The more stable cancer are fungus, and don't generally spread very quickl, but they are few and far between. This is why an operation, a chemotherapy or radiation will GENERALLY SPREAD THE CANCER after the treatment. This is the nature of virus. They are everywhere. So when you do the operation, the immune systems is always down and this is how cancer are SPREAD. The U. S. Government are very well aware that the cause of cancer is generally viral and there is a Cancer Virus Projected initiated by the then President Nixon, during the development of AIDS, but they have also identified more then hundreds of virus that leads to cancer. Hence, lysine from my own observations works best against cancer. The problem is the administration (try dogs, children and stubborn cancer patients! ), frequency and dose of the lysine. In Thailand, virus also get dissolved (chemically) in a very weak solution of aspirin. So if there's no bleeding problem, then aspirin hourly dose for four doses can be used on top of that, and to prevent bleeding a vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is taken along to prevent them, but K2 is well known in killing off cancer cells, but not the vitamin K1, however.

As for sea salt, giving them a drinking water with some sea salt, such as 1/2 teaspoon per liter of drinking water usually reduces the severity of the cancer issue. Cooked meats and dog food usually worsen the cancer condition because they are hard to digest. I believe technically speaking the heart organs from pigs, cows, or chicken used in cooking foods for dog have anti cancer properties since heart is one of the few organs that don't get cancer. This observation is not new in early 20th century by Dr. Koch (who discovered the use of quinones in treatment of cancer) and carbonyl compounds found high in heart organs. In fact Dr. Koch did prepared a heart extract and gave them to his three terminal cancer patient and all were completely cured. He went on to discover other compounds with single injections very low dose 10^-6 or less dose of quinones (parabenzoquinone, methylglyoxal, glyoxal, etc. ) into the tumors to completely stopped them. Because the dose were so low and chemical detection is nearly impossible in those dilution, the authorities arrested him since they claim he just used distilled water. There is good reason why high dilutions were used. The chemical is very toxic, but used in very high serial dilution (homeopathically) they have medicinal benefit, much like belladonna prepared homeopathically, is the same. The castor oil works along the same principal when you apply them to the dog's spinal column, it contains very low amount, chemically undetectable, but it has ricin, which is extremely toxic compound, but when used in castor oil form, which are deemed, free of ricin (but not really), it kills cancer cells this way. So perhaps someday, a tiny injection diluted in alcohol less then 1cc, of castor oil inside the tumor could someday be used to kill tumor that way too. In the meantime, the way it is done today is to prepare a castor oil pack and then use the heat from hot packs to apply to the area where there is tumor. Heat also kills cancer cells. This is an important point, castor oil contains chemically undetectable ricin and this kill cancer cells too and it goes through the skin transdermally, making it possible to kill cancer cells this way. I remember some Cuban clinic has another unique way to killing cancer cells. What they did was inject papain (a protease enzyme) found in the white liquid latex of the papaya plant and directly inject them into tumor. In about 30 minutes it digest them and they just draw out the digested tumor by syringe, which is of course a bit less invasive then your usual cutting it open with knives and removing them physically. Papain and bromelain (pineapple enzyme) are two enzymes that I am aware of that digests the fibrin component of the cancer. Of course, a veterinarian may be able to go through this route also, if they are unoperable, they may be injectable, whether using nanogram doses of parabenzonquinone, papain, or bromelain, if a person feels pressure to try more radical approach towards cancer treatment. One more thing, olive leaves and pickled olive fruits may also be obtainable in supermarkets. The chemical in the olive leaves is good against cancer, owing to its antiviral properties. I believe the fresh olives fruits and leaves, or perhaps tinctures and extract may work the best."

[YEA]  08/11/2009: Kate from Lakeside, Ca: "Hi,

I have an adopted black lab, age 15, "Lady", with a large tumor that appeared on her right leg joint (started as elbow callus appearance). The Vet stated that I would probably have to "put her down" soon because she will stop walking due to leg discomfort. He did not recommend surgery or chemo; she does have an obstructed nasal passage since someone probably kicked and crushed her face at some point in her life. She often gets antibiotics for her nasal infections - we have to carefully feed her to keep food out of her nose.

I am writing to say thank you for your directions and the Castor Oil... it's been nothing less than amazing!

I began treatment a week ago as you directed and the large, mushy mass is now 1/3 the original size, no edema. She is walking around and even rolling in the grass. I will continue all phases of her treatment and wish to say thanks on our behalf, she feels very good, frisky and most importantly, she is able to truly enjoy her days more."

04/15/2009: Marilyn from North Port, FL: "I have a few questions and I hope you can help. My Lab, Trev, is 13 1/2 years old. He has a non-cancerous tumor on his left leg. He has had surgery for removal but it keeps coming back. It is now bleeding constantly unless I keep it wrapped. Because of his age, the doctor does not want to perform surgery because it is so large it would mean removal of his leg. His back hips are bad and he has trouble getting up. Every time I change his wrap, it bleeds. I read your column about castor oil and bloodroot. I tried castor oil months ago and it did not help. I have never tried anything else. I don't know where to get bloodroot. If I can help him, I want to do what I can for him. According to the vet, he will have to be on antibiotics for the rest of his life and I have to change his bandage (it's a large wrap with an ace bandage around it), every two days. I am trying to avoid infection. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Marilyn"

How is your Trev? I have an Italian Greyhound that is 13 and she has the same thing that Trev has. I had it biopsied and the vet called it 'hemangiopericytoma'. He said there was really no cure. It is a malignancy. It will keep growing back until it ruptures with bloody tissue everywhere, then maybe take it off again. But given her age I won't do that again. I have been looking all over the internet for some type of cure. I have seen several sites where people have used flaxseed oil mixed with cottage cheese twice a day and say that it has worked. Look for this on the internet to get a correct dosage. I hope this answer is not too late and good luck. I started my Lilly on it yesterday.

Do NOT push on it as hernias are small openings in the muscle wall and the pups intestines are just poking out some. If you mess with it you can cause problems. Many dogs live they entire lives with them, but better to close if already undergoing anesthesia."

We rescued her - prior to her living with us she was severly neglegted and abused. She has had a happy life with us and we would like to keep her has happy and healthy for as long as possible. Can tumeric help with canerous tumors - most of what I have read seems to be related to cysts. She is about 80lbs and we really dont know how old she is but we estimate her to be around 10yrs old.

Any feed back would certainly be appreciated."

[YEA]  10/02/2011: Vj from Victoria, Bc, Canada: "Just wanted to pass on the great success I had with turmeric and our dog.

Our 7 year old shepard husky cross had about a 6" x 3" fatty lipoma on his right side, just under the shoulder blade (confirmed by vet by drawing fluid out of it). It was very noticable. Looked like he was fatter on one side. I had read about turmeric on this site and shortly after went to the health food store and bought a scoop of tumeric from the bulk herb section. Cheap... don't buy the capsules, way more expensive.

I simply sprinkled about 2 tsps of it on his dry food and mixed it up with a little olive oil, twice/day. Within 3 weeks I could not believe how much it had shrunk. Another 3 weeks later.... completely gone! Amazing! I have never before seen the benefits of a natural herb/spice work so well & so quickly.

I actually have a small fatty lipoma on my leg, and I'm trying it. You're supposed to mix it with black pepper so I just mix it up in a little water and down it quickly. Hope it works for me. All sorts of other benefit of it as well. In fact I can't believe how much more energy I have. vj"

[YEA]  08/10/2011: Carole from Palermo, Me, Usa: "At the end of May, I discovered a small lump on my dogs neck just below the ear. I watched it and in July she was scratching it and it had grown quite a bit. I took her to the Vet and they wanted to remove it and biopsy it to the tune of $600. And they couldn't give me any idea of what it was. I decided to try the turmeric and started giving her 1/4 tsp 2 times a day in her food on July 20th.. She weighs 48 lbs. On Aug 5th it developed a dark hard scab which fell off by itself on Aug 8th. Now the lump is going down and I'm hoping it will be totally gone soon.. I will update on it soon."

[YEA]  06/08/2010: Summatra from Reston, Va: "My 13 y old dog, Jamie has had fatty tumors for several years, now. When he was eleven, the vet removed one at the "elbow" joint of his front leg but it has since grown back. He was dealing with it though, and the vet recommended doing nothing to the re-grown tumor, due to his advanced age and declining health.

Then about 6 weeks ago I noticed a different large, red, golf-ball growth in the same area. This was in addition to the re-grown tumor. The new growth looked like a water balloon.

That's when I started surfing the net looking for options. One night, I spent several hours reading about herbal medicine, and TCM/TCVM vs Western philosophies about cancer and tumors ... interesting stuff, but I just wanted to help my dog.

Also, as an aside, I noticed that Jamie's breath smelled a lot worse than usual ... (sort of sour.) He was in bad shape, and I was in the middle of a move.

There are "vets" out there selling their special blend of herbs and medicines ... but I wanted to "know" what I was giving my dog. So I was looking for something I could get from any herbal supply store.

Affter reading information here and elsewhere, I decided to try curcumin (which is a turmeric extract) It cost about $10/ bottle, over the internet and comes in capsule form. I take 1 capsule apart and sprinkle it over his food (I feed him twice a day).

After 3-4 days the big red tumor burst IT SMELLED AWFUL (sour like his breath) and it continued to leak for about a week. At first, the liquid that came out of the tumor was clear,and greasy. Later there was pus, but there was less and less each day.

By this time, we had moved, and Jamie was still moping around ... and I honestly did not know if he was in pain, or depressed about the move, or what. I decided to keep giving him 2 curcumin capsules a day (since it seemed to make the tumor go away), 1 with each meal, and I also cleaned the wound area with hydrogen peroxide, and kept the wound covered. Jamie did seem to be getting better, but I did not know if it was wishful thinking on my part ... so I took him to the vet a week later.

The vet said that the tumor had ulcerated, which was not good, and he had lots of tumors... but he did not recommend putting him down at this time. He said that this is just what happens to old dogs. He cleaned and shaved the area around the tumor, prescribed an antibiotic, wrapped the wound and sent us home (and charged $250).

It has been a month now, and Jamie has continued to improve. The (red)tumor has "dried up, there is no pus. He still limps a little (but he limped before). Also, the regrown tumor has shrunk ... he still has other tumors, though. I do not know if this is a "cure" ... but I do think that it has bought us some time.

I wanted to share this because I remember how frantic I was 6 weeks, when I was looking for information that could help.

Summatra"

09/27/2010: Summatra from Reston, Va replies: "I wanted to give an update:

Jamie passed away on 9/26 (he was euthanized). During the summer, the tumor on his front leg, and the one between his toes had cleared up so he wasn't limping on the front legs anymore, but then his back legs started to drag more as he walked. Also, he gradually lost his appetite, and everything slowly worsened over the summer. The vet had said (in the spring)that the tumors had spread, and I think that this was the cancer just taking its course. Nevertheless, his last few weeks of life were full. As I said earlier, I thought that the tumeric was not going to be a "cure" but it would buy us time, and I think that is what happened. I honestly believe that the vet had written him off back in May. We got to spend the whole summer together and the past few weeks we got to visit many places "for the last time". I would like to thank the people who created this website and those who posted information to this board."

EC: Our condolences to you. Glad you were able to be with him a bit longer.

[YEA]  06/26/2011: Lisa from Vancouver, Wa replies: "Hi Dogs that are fixed & 6 years old just get fat cysts or tumors, whatever U want to call them. Sometimes they pop up over nite. So Ur NOT necessarily doing anything wrong--Its just part of nature.

My ShihTzu had a fat cyst the size of a pea above his ear... it looked gross.

This sounds mean, but IT DID NOT HURT MY DOG.. OTHERWISE HE WOULD'VE YELPED & MOVED HIS HEAD AWAY FAST... He let's me know immediately if he's ever unhappy... He's Not shy... Anyway, I stuck a sewing pin in the cyst... To see if maybe it was sebacious... I then squeezed it... nothing came out, so I assumed it was a solid fat mass.

I put a Curcumin (Tumeric Root) capsule I got at the health food store in a pill pocket. He ate it & ate the 1 for his sister--she refused to eat it. I smelt the capsule & couldn't smell anything, but U know how sensitive dogs noses are.

Then 2 weeks later I gave him another...

1 week later I noticed a crust on the (cyst) bump, so I scraped it off with my finger nail & smelt it... Really Grose Smelling! I then squeezed the cyst from the base--VERY IMPORTANT.. I KNOW A MAN WHO LET THE BARBER SQUEEZE A ZIT ON HIS FOREHEAD... BUT HE DIDN'T GET ALL THE SEBUM OUT... SOME WENT BACK IN THE BLOOD STREAM & HE DIED OF AN ANURISM... SO HAVE UR VET DO THIS IF U THINK SOMETHING BAD MIGHT HAPPEN..

Anyway, it may have gotten slightly bigger after I started giving him the curcumin, but nothing really noticable & there was no oozing & grose open wound like the others said... When I squeezed it... 4... What looked like flat empty sebacious cysts came out... They stunk... There was about 1/4 of the bump/cyst left & no more would come out & he didn't want me to touch it anymore... He was Not in pain, but he was just getting annoyed with me messing with it, so I left it alone... The stretched skin eventually went back to normal & the cyst was totally gone in 2 weeks. Its been 1 month & I'm sure its not coming back.

This is a way more natural & cheaper solution... Than spending $400 like my friend just did to get a sebacious cyst cut off her cocker spaniel's back. From what I read here... they also come back after an operation, whereas, with the Tumeric/Curcumin they don't.

Thanks U Jesus for the Natural Cure! Thanks EarthClinic 4 Being here--Love this web-site!"

01/30/2009: Tamara from Big Bear, Ca: "just a comment regarding apparent cures using turmeric or any remedy that seems to cure a tumor, cyst, or any type ailment. If a remedy works, maybe it should be continued to possibly insure that the cause has been eliminated so it does not recur. If the animal or person is responding to a remedy or diet, as soon as you stop and go back to the environment that created the ailment, most likely it comes back. My Laddie is 14 and I just noticed a lump growing on his chest. I heard of turmeric for humans a few years back in a health magazine. Glad to know it is okay for pets. Need to pick up some for him. Thank you!"

[YEA]  11/16/2007: Diane from Jacksonville, FL: "Feeling it was worth a try... i gave 1 capsule every other day with one tablespoon of peanut butter to my Lhasa Apso. She had a lump that the vet wanted $200. to biopsy. Within one week, the lump came to the surface and drained. It was sooo gross and smelly. But it is gone! I will continue to watch her and report any post symptoms. This is pretty incredible!"
