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."

10/10/2012: Lisa from Grand Blanc, Mi, Usa replies: "This question is for Peter, I just read your May feedback on Rocky. I am hoping he is still doing well. I have a 9 year old female Lab, her name is Sydney. She has had multiple testing done these past 2 weeks, And was diagnosed with renal Ca also. She has a very large tumor on her kidney. In which I was told was a very rare cancer in dogs. They have told me the only thing that can be done is to surgically remove the kidney and tumor. Unfortunately, the price is out of reach. So, when I read about Rocky and the 2 things you are using on him, has given me hope to all of this sadness. I would be intersested in seeing if he is still doing well using those 2 supplements. And if you have added anything elese. I am just lost in where to start with her healing, or making her as comfortable as possible."

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."

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.

11/21/2010: Karen from Durango, Colorado replies: "Have you tried DMSO? I would, it has proven success in treating humans with tumors. Today I started using it on my cat's abcess. I used it the same way on my other cat a year ago & the abcess disappeared in a day."

01/08/2011: Joyceee from Manila, Philippines replies: "Hi! I dont know what to do with my 9 year old cat Britney. She had a tumor on her tummy and it was removed via operation. 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
Philippines"

09/12/2011: Ginale from Warren, Ri replies: "Karen (from Durango, Colorado)... You mentioned that you used DMSO on your cat for tumors. Was it used to prevent the tumor from coming back? How much of DMSO did you use daily and for how long. Is it safe to use all the time. Thanks"

03/04/2010: Anita from Croxley Green, Herts, Uk replies: "Dear All

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"

05/16/2010: Addy from Flowery Branch, Ga replies: "Sorry to hear about your kitty. I know its a painful situation for you.

I don't know of anything to help you out, but I can suggest you speak to someone at a local feed store. I bet someone hanging around there will be able to give you some ideas.

Furthermore, contact your local university department for vet/animal studies. I know UGA has a fantastic department and has been helpfull to me in the past.

Good luck!"

06/03/2010: Lisa from Wichita Falls, Texas replies: "John, I am sorry that no one has responded to you yet. But, maybe no one knows what to say to help you. If your baby has a tumor, you probably need to take it to the vet. I don't know of anything that can be done if it is a tumor. Some things need to be seen by a vet. GOD BLESS to you and your little furry baby. I hope everything goes well for you. If anyone here knows of something to help, then please post it!"

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."

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."

03/19/2010: Jilbert57 from Brinnon, Wa replies: "This is just a comment. I have an 11 year old male jack russell who has made urate stones since he was 6 months old. 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"

07/14/2012: Beanie from Newhall, Ca: "I searched this site many times looking for a remedy for a large tumor that appeared on my dog's head above her eye. She is a bichon and is 13yrs old. I tried the castor oil faithfully about 6 or more times a day for weeks but it did not work for me. The lump was getting larger and harder. I stumbled on seabuckthorn berry oil and started giving her half a dropper every day. It's been a little over one month and the tumor which had been there for about 9 months is completely flat!! It just amounts to raised skin now. I wanted to share this because I thought it was amazing and I always come here looking for help so I hope this helps someone. There is also a seabuckthorn seed oil available but I bought the berry oil not the seed oil. It tastes better and has slightly different make up. It is for human consumption - they both are - so it is safe for your pet. I guessed at the amount and it seems fine for my dog who is about 19 pounds. If your dog has lumps please try this. It also gives her more energy. I don't know if I can say where I got this but it is available on the internet. It comes in a small bottle with a dropper. It is easy to administer as she just licks it from her bowl. I sometimes rub some on her gums and it helps to keep them healthy and reduce bad breath odor. Please post here if your dog was helped by this. We need to keep our dogs healthy without drugs."

[YEA]  09/10/2011: Cheri from Lexington, Illinois, U.s.a. : "Tumors in pets; Several years ago my cat developed a mass which my vet said was a tumor. 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. He found that the tumor had liquified. If you read the book "SHARKS DON'T GET CANCER" it claims the shark cartilage cuts off the blood supply to the growth."
