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.’
Benefits of Vitamin C to your Dog
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.
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.

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.
