Need Help for Dog in Pain with Cancer and Arthritis

Posted By Brutus (Niagara Falls, Canada) on 07/10/2013

My Brutus was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and arthritis on May 29. My vet prescribed Rimadyl and tramadol. The Rimadyl worked for his pain and he could move much better but it caused him to leak urine. I have replaced Rimadyl with Traumeel, glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM but nothing seems to touch his pain the way Rimadyl does. His arthritic pain is so bad sometimes that he won't eat and then I have to give him Rimadyl again. I just recently replaced Traumeel (injury) with Zeel (arthritis) so I'm hoping this will help. I also give him astragalus, apricot seed, reishi mushrooms and milk thistle to fight the cancer and we can see that its working but when he can't eat, the cancer gets bigger again. The vet only gave Brutus 2 months so I am running out of time to figure this out. His cancer is in his forearm but the arthritis is what dibilitates him. Brutus is a very young 12 yr. old rottie pitbull mix and weighs 103 lbs. Less than 6 weeks ago he was a fiesty guy and if I could just figure out a way to control his arthritis pain without urine incontinence, I'm confident that we can also control his cancer. Please help!

It sounds like you are doing really well treating Brutus with alternative therapies. I recommend you get some DMSO with aloe to treat both arthritis and cancer. Borax, just a teaspoon in his water bowl per day should help both conditions as well. Selenium in brewers yeast, you can just add to water or food. It's full of b vitamins, selenium (anti cancer) and chromium (insulin regulator). Also kelp powder is high in iodine and selenium both of which fight cancer. Wishing him well!

Hi Brutus from NiagaraFalls. I feel very much for you and your dog. You are giving Brutus the right natural meds except the pain med. May cause kidney and liver problems. Perhaps you could add Essiac tea which will clean him out and also address some of the pain.

On GreenMedsInfo online there is much to research . Also, look into PH management. Like: PH Kills Cancer online.

As to nutrition, eliminate meat and substitute with green or washed mung beans cooked to a mash with brown rice added. Then flavour and supplement with at least half tsp. turmeric, one tsp. coriander powder, tbsp. Grated fresh ginger and veggies done in the processor. Use coconut oil liberally to sautee the spices. This flavour is warm and close to meat flavour so he could eat it. Mix it all and feed gradually till he takes to it. I will return to your post when I find other means to help. Be positive you can make a difference soon. Om

I forgot to mention that fluoride in tap water, some foods, and drugs actually causes osteosarcoma and arthritis among other things (fluoride action network). This means you need to feed him fluoride free water. Preferably water high in minerals like spring water. If your tap water is fluoridated you will want to stop drinking it or cooking with it yourself. If you install a reverse osmosis filter you can add minerals back into the pure water. Santevia sells mineral stones and you can also use diatomaceous earth (food grade) for minerals and to kill parasites. Just mix a tea spoon in his water.

Hi. I and my pooches - all 5 of them - send Brutus blessing to heal fast. I would advise that you start him on IODINE asap - it helps get RID of cancer and is crucial in the healing process. Start him on selenium as well. Make sure it is yeast free.

Another thing is cook his food at home - live nutrients can fight any disease. You can make some brown rice, mix in some freshly grinded pumpkin seeds (zinc), flax seeds, chia seeds and also grind some cloves -2 per day.

Then give him slightly cooked veggies - organic kale, beets (liver detox), bitter greens like dandelion (liver), parsley, spinacy, etc. chop them and mix with food.

For protein - this is no time to give high protein supply. Boil some lentils (high in protein, vitamins, fiber, minerals), peas, beans, quinoa - all plant sourced. This is easier to digest, easy on liver and kidneys and therefore easy on body during cancer. No meat, soy, corn, sugar, refined, processed, fried foods, no dairy and eggs either.

Mix all the seeds, brown rice, veggies, RIPE fruits like papaya (excellent for healing), avocados, tomato, cucumber (for cell hydration) - mix it with spices like tumeric, cayenne (blood cleansing), clove powder, garlic. Then mix in COCONUT OIL for his cancer and arthritis. Use atleast 5 big tablespoons throughout the day and then you will see improvement in his pain.

Use coconut oil a lot - it is crucial. It also helps detox the body and help fight the inflammation in the body.

No more chemical shampoos, flea products, heartworm medicines, prescriptives, etc. Just only natural organic specialty products from now on.

You can also start him on acupuncture - helps the body fight cancer and arthritis too. Doggie massages are great too. Also hydrotherapy.

Apply little bit of lavender essential oil and massage near him temples, shoulders, knees, paws to soothe and calm him body.

Another thing you can do is buy some relaxing, positive music - can find bunch of these cds at half price book store and play it all day by his side. Trust me IT IS LIKE MEDICINE -VERY POTENT.

You do all these things and there is no way all this will not make the cancer run away!!!!

Good luck.
