Why Moringa is Good for our Dogs (& us)
Moringa is good for our dogs and us as it has antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory properties (and more!). We think it should be in every dog’s pantry and food bowl.
The Science of Moringa
Science of Moringa says it has antitumour, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, antispasmodic, diuretic, antioxidant, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective (protective of the liver), antibacterial and antifungal properties. That’s why it’s in our Miracle Greens and Kanga Kisses.
Moringa – Nature’s Anti-inflammatory Miracle for Dogs
Moringa is nature’s anti-inflammatory miracle for dogs. Known as The Miracle Tree, it is recognised by America’s most conservative health and cancer institutions as being effective in reducing tumour size and proliferation. I credit Moringa as being a key contributor to Ruby’s remission. That’s why it’s in our Miracle Greens and Kanga Kisses.
Turmeric | Curcumin
Turmeric | Curcumin Experts Say… “Curcumin was found to exert its anticancer activities in many different types of cancer cells by regulating a variety of signaling pathways” Experts Say… “Curcumin was found to exert its anticancer activities in many different types of cancer cells by regulating a variety of signaling pathways” Turmeric is so amazing!…
Iodine
Leading non-pharma cancer therapies – Gerson, Hoxley and Moerman – all include iodine. Many studies suggest iodine deficiency is a modifiable risk factor for many cancers.
Good Fats & Ketones
Studies indicate high fat, low carb diets cause the body to use ketones for fuel and energy and thus starve the cancer which prefers sugar for fuel and can not digest ketones.
Selenium
Already known to be vital to dog health, Selenium (Se) has shown exciting research results in reducing some cancer risk, slowing metastases (cancer spread) and tumour growth in dogs and humans. Slowing the spread or potential spread is a key priority in surviving and managing cancer.
Vitamin D3
Multiple studies have correlated low Vitamin D3 in dogs with increased cancer risk. Known as the ‘sunshine vitamin’ dogs can not get anywhere near enough VitD from sun exposure and need to get it from their diet. Does your dog get enough?
Medicinal Mushrooms
Modern science is finally proving what Chinese medicine has known for 3,000+ years, many medicinal mushrooms have powerful healing abilities – including anti-tumoural.
Iodine and Cancer – A summary of the evidence
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.’
VitC kills cancer with hard-to-treat mutation
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.
High Dose VitC for Dogs with Cancer
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.
Intravenous Vitamin C Therapy
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.
Pot for Pets? Muttley’s Cannabis Oil Success
Twelve year old American Staffy, Muttley, was diagnosed with terminal cancer and after chemo and 5 surgeries the vets told his humans there was nothing else they could do. In a last ditch effort his humans tried low-dose cannabis oil and were amazed and thrilled by the results.
The Most Exciting AntiCancer Botanical?
Studies tell us curcumin in turmeric helps fight cancer. A Harvard-trained, integrative oncologist shares his excitement for curcumin as an anti-cancer agent and easily explains the overall research that supports his interest. If you’re interested in how it works, for humans and dogs, to fight cancer this is a great article.
Crystal-like Curcumin Impairs Cancer
Researchers discovered how curcumin helps fight cancer at a cellular level. 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…
Benefits of Turmeric for Cancer Treatment
The good folks at The Truth About Cancer explain the exciting research into turmeric for cancer treatments as well as other health issues. There is more research to do but curcumin (the active ingredient) is showing real promise in helping to alleviate cancer, pain and inflammation.
Six Cancer Fighting Mushrooms
Research indicates mushrooms have possible anti-cancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and liver protective activities. These six mushrooms are some of the most well-researched, rich in polysaccharides and beta glucans, the primary immune-enhancing constituents.
Healing Gifts of Myrrh
Myrrh was mentioned more frequently than any other plant in Hippocrates’ medical writings and of course its known for being a gift of the Kings. The Truth About Cancer gives their view on Myrrh here.
CBD Oil – Good green medicine
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant that interacts with, or rebalances, our Endocannabinoid system which, among other functions, regulates the immune system response of mammals (such as humans and dogs). There is an ever increasing body of research showing that CBD has a positive effect on the side effects of chemotherapy…
Vitamin D3 – Is your dog deficient?
Studies have shown that deficiency in Vitamin D may be connected to prevalence of cancer in both humans and dogs. In 2008, the Journal of Cell Biology published research that found “vitamin D can adjust almost everything in the cancer cell, from its genetic messaging to its cytoskeleton. It can switch genes on and off,…
Golden Magic of Turmeric for Dogs
Until Ruby’s cancer I’d never thought of turmeric beyond delicious curries. But it was THE most recommended natural therapeutic agent when people heard of her cancer challenge. I quickly learned that turmeric is not just a spice, it is one of the most effective natural medicines on the planet.
FDA Approves Turkey Tail Cancer Trial
