Turmeric for Dog's Lipoma

Posted By Vj (Victoria, Bc, Canada) on 10/02/2011

"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 teaspoons 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"

"My Miniature Schnauzer is almost 12 years old. He weighs about 20 lbs. and is in excellent shape. He's on a good feed and exercise program. He has a number of small to larger lipomas that I would like to try using tumeric to heal rather than surgically remove. Has anyone tried using a capsule form of tumeric rather than the powder? I'm thinking that might be an easier way than have to worry about getting a staining powder in his beard and having him run around the house wiping it off like he does when I add Fish Oil to his feed. If so, what brand would you recommend and dosage? My dog also gets Apple Cider Vinegar in his water every day. That has not had any effect on his lipomas. This is my first post to this site. I would be grateful for any help and suggestions that you might have for my dog."

"Turmeric needs to be taken with a little fat (Coconut oil )as it is fat soluble. Also a little black pepper for absorption."

"Love turmeric and how it worked on your dog. How much would say for a 25 lb Boston terrier?"
