Dear Lakelight

I am sorry to hear about your dog.

I hope you don't mind, but I would like to share some thoughts:

The key to healing is not adding, it's subtraction.

If you don't completely remove the type of food that possibly created the cancer in the first place, then supplementation may not even have a chance to work. It's like trying to paint over a dirty wall.

What I'd like you to consider, is how the digestive tract of your dog and the digestive tract of a canine in the wild is the same. Does a canine in the wild eat cottage cheese? Or drink goats milk? or eat kibble or any cooked food? What would a dog eat in the wild?

Innova Ingredients:
Turkey
Chicken
Chicken Meal
Ground Brown Rice
Whole Steamed Potatoes

Solid Gold Ingredients:
USDA Lamb Meal
Whole Ground Millet
Ground Brown Rice
Whole Ground Barley
Amaranth

Dogs are not meant to eat grains and starches (potatoes). They do not produce salivary amylase which humans do, it is the amylase enzyme that deals with the digestion of these starches.

Kibble is junk food - look at the ingredients and the way it's been 'prepared' - this is not nourishing.

Canines in the wild eat raw only. Their first choice after a kill is normally the intestinal walls - tripe plus the offal parts .. followed by raw meaty bones. They may forage and eat some raw veges, herbs and fruit .. but that is not their primary food. And they will eat some of the wild grasses. If in areas where there are fish, they will eat that too, bones and skin, sometimes whole eggs too.

Canines in the wild, unless exposed to environmental toxins, do not get cancer.

I ask you to consider these things because this may be the key to healing, which is to offer what nature intended (biologically appropriate).

Further, poor digestion is the most common cause of a build up of toxicity in all humans and animals. If we can't digest proeprly, where do you think all the waste goes?

Try not to overfeed .. we are brought up to over eat and over feed those we love - but that can lead to congestion. Your dog may be looking thin, not because she isn't getting enough food, but because she is not able to absorb nutrients from having poor digestion.

From my experience of feeding raw only, I can see how my dog stops eating when he's full, he also chooses not to eat some days and eats double the next day - his choice, but that is also seen in the wild. My dog is naturally fasting himself for around a day each week, to give his digestion a break.

Most humans and animals have self-healing power beyond imagination. but to kick start that, the terrain must be clear .. and that won't happen with supplementation, but with the removal of what contributes to the toxicity in the first place. supplementation should be seen as an aid, not the cure.

You might like to read some of the earlier posts on my blog: //www.curezone.org/blogs/f.asp?f=731 which highlights biologically appropriate foods and also the types of foods that are toxic to canines.

Whatever you choose, I wish you every success
Maya
