This article from Dogs Naturally Magazine (check them out) explains that seaweeds are the best green foods for dogs as, besides being super nutrient dense, their cells are not surrounded by cellulose which is difficult for dogs to digest. They are thought to boost the immune system, promote longevity and may help in reducing cancer.

Natural health guru, Dr Edward Group, shares 8 health issues to keep in mind with regard to iodine deficiency in dogs. He notes seaweed has an abundance of naturally occurring iodine making it a great way to boost your dog’s nutrition, and the 48% reduction in dog cancer since 1982 when iodine was introduced in commercial dog foods.
Details
This paper discusses iodine intake requirements for humans, dogs and cats. It notes that dietary iodine is around >90% bioavailable compared to synthetic supplements, which are variable. It concludes that “Chronic iodine excess or deficiency may result in clinical disease” and that intake should be consistent. It’s complex!
Details
A fantastic summary of evidence regarding iodine and cancer which notes ‘the molecular effects of iodine as well as ongoing epidemiological evidence points to its probable role in prevention of cancers through its antioxidant, antiinflammatory, prodifferentiating, and proapoptotic effects.’

Studies are showing that stressful dog life events can deplete dogs of their innate supply of Vitamin C and they can benefit from VitC supplementation. Experiments trialling Vitamin C therapy in life threatening health issues, such as parvo virus, are often having great and surprising success. Vitamin C is a vitalising winner for dogs.
Details
In 2015 a study found vitamin C can kill tumour cells that carry a common cancer-causing mutation – in mice. In fact, many studies are investigating the therapeutic potential of Vitamin C, especially as a potential cancer treatment. This article explains various study outcomes and how intravenous dosing is seemingly most effective.
Details
High dose vitamin C therapies are increasingly reporting positive results in cases previously deemed as ‘no hope’, especially with some cancer cases. This article, written by a practicing vet, conveys results from his trials in high dose vitC in dogs with cancer, as well as other life-threatening illnesses showing its benefits and continuing promise.
Details
Holistic vet, Dr Rose DeLeva, writes that she has used intravenous Vitamin C therapy for dogs with cancer for almost 20 years with fantastic results. Not remissions, but almost always improved quality of life and often valuable extended life spans beyond prognosis. She says Vitamin C is one of the most potent biological antioxidants on the planet.

This great summary of CBD and cannabis as a potential natural medicine is a beautiful explanation of its seeming medicinal value and why it is an exciting prospect in facing cancer. It notes cannabis oil can be used to treat seizures, nausea, stress, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, cancer symptoms, gastro issues, and more.

A Harvard-trained, integrative oncologist shares his excitement for curcumin as an anti-cancer agent and the overall research to support his interest. He explains the targets and pathways curcumin activates and provides a summary of current research.
Details
Through x-ray crystallography researchers see curcumin bind to a specific kinase enzyme at the atomic level. This leads to its inhibition which “impairs cell proliferation and reduces cancer burden”. But curcumin alone may not be sufficient…
Details
The good folks at The Truth About Cancer explain the exciting research into curcumin in cancer treatments as well as other health issues. There is more research to do but curcumin is showing real promise in helping to alleviate cancer, pain and inflammation.
