>- Obviously dogs are not humans but has anyone on here used Milk Thistle themselves for liver cancer?

My wife has multiply metastasized lung cancer and one of the concerns was the development of mestases in the liver. She has been on Silymarin (Milk Thistle), Essiac tes, and PawPaw extract. She had 2 CT scans 30 days apart with no apparant progression (and some indication of improvement).

I am not sure whether any of these would be harmful to a dog. Your vet would be the best answer.

Also, if it were my pet, I would also use a zapper daily for several weeks if there was time.

Essiac tea
Zappers and zapping

Dear 11630,

Yes, I would give milk thistle to your dog.
It will nourish his liver, not the cancerous
tumor. You've got nothing to lose, at this
point.

In your place, I would also offer him Virgin
Coconut Oil. I've read lots of stories of
animals who were cured of various ailments
by lapping up pure coconut oil.

When wild animals are poisoned or infected,
they often seek out the herbs and plants which will heal them. They know instinctively
which food will help.

Therefore, in addition to the coconut oil,
I'd offer the dog a lot of different foods,
most of which he'd never touch if he were
healthy. Foods that have anti-cancer reputations like garlic, onions, broccoli
sprouts, ground flaxseed, as well as herbs
like cilantro and parsley.

He may turn his nose up at them -- but he
also may eat some of those foods with enthusiasm. That will be a sign to you that
he needs more of that food.

Is there a woods near you? You might want to
take him for a leisurely walk. See if he
begins munching on any particular plants.

I'd also offer him vitamin C, preferably in
the form of crystals or powder. Wild animals
can generate large amounts of vitamin C within
their bodies. Domestic animals make much, much
less -- especially a dog with a cancerous liver. His immune system will use the vitamin
C to help heal his body. You can mix the vitamin C powder with water, juice, food,
whatever. If he laps it up, and looks at you
for more, then keep give him more vitamin C.

Trust your deep intuition about which foods,
herbs, or supplements to offer him. I know
you'll give him lots of love and TLC. I hope
your story has a happy ending.

Blessings,

Owen

Hi,

I am currently dealing with cancer in my dog Lucky - she was diagnosed two and half months ago and I was told that she would probably only make it at the most another two months. She's doing quite well - against all odds.

Here's what I am giving her (mind you, it's NOT cheap!!!!)
- once weekly I go to the vet to get her Carravet Acemannan Immunostimulant
- flax oil
- fish oil
- seameal
- high amount of vitamin c
- green & white tea extract in capsules
- aloe vera in capsules
- Immpower (this is also a capsule made from extract of certain hybridized mushrooms)
- Urine Therapy

You might want to do a search on the Carravet Acemannan Immunostimulant. Most of the time the immune system is down in the pits - it doesn't make a difference whether it's a pet or a human. If you can get that up and going your chances are better for a longer survival rate.

Just to give you an idea, the Acemannan Immunostimulant costs about $200 per dose for a medium sized dog. However, it works wonders for the immune system. It's mainly used for fibrosarcomas - which Lucky does not have either. She has some substantial tumors on her legs and additionally in about every organ there is (we did an ultrasound two months ago and the sizes of the tumors/nodules ranged between 1.5 and 7.5 cm) including the liver/heart/kidney/lung/bladder.

All of these things are homeopathic and easily obtainable except for the Immunostimulant. For that you would need a vet.

We did an x-ray of Lucky's lung on Thursday and the tumor has not grown one bit since we started her on the medications. I am contemplating on having an ultra sound done in about one month's time (if she is still up and running) to have actual measurements of the tumors to see if they have decreased.

If you decide to go for the Immunostimulant do note that most vets will be stunned by this request. My vet thought I was crazy but on Thursday he admitted that he was amazed by the fact that Lucky is doing so well. (We were just in Vermont at the Paw House Inn for 10 days and we hiked for about 4 - 5 miles each day - no problems to report)

All the best, lots of luck and love & light
Joy
