My precious 13-year-old Shareen was diagnosed two weeks ago with a nasal tumor. Apparently, most nasal tumors in cats are malignant. It seems to have spread into her eye and cheek areas.

Starting last night, I'm giving her about 1 ounce of Essiac tea (not diluted) every night and have ordered some Artemisin nasal spray. I also gave her Spirulina in chicken broth tonight. Thinking about trying Black Salve orally, as I've heard good things about it.

I also have some Taheebo tea, which I used last night as a nasal spray and lubricant before cleaning out her tiny clogged nostrils with a baby nose syringe.

Any further advice would be much appreciated. I understand that natural alternatives are often superior to "conventional" Western methods of cancer treatment, and I also understand why conventional medical practitioners want to keep this info away from the general public.

I have three specific questions:

1. Can I combine Taheebo with Essiac in the same nursing bottle? I've read wonderful things about both, and they were recommended by a local herbalist. If so, what proportions should I use?

2. What is the recommended amount of Taheewent from 14 pounds a year ago to about 7-8 pounds.

3. How long does it generally take for Essiac and Taheebo to start having an effect on the cancer? Days? Weeks? I'm sure it depends on many factors, but was just wondering what a rough estimate might be.

I'm really impressed with the wisdom and dedication of the people who post here. I just joined tonight.

Thanks in advance, and all the best to each of you.
