My Dog Has Cancer. What Can I Do?

Nutrition ~ Mother Nature provides the best medicine

When fighting cancer, there are a few universal rules that anyone who does the most basic research can learn; however, your doctors (both for humans and for animals) rarely know this information or give it the value it deserves. I am completely perplexed by how little nutrition is taught or utilized in Western medicine for the treatment of cancer or any other disease.

The year prior to Nola’s diagnosis, her body sent us many signals we overlooked and misunderstood. I now know they were symptoms of an auto-immune condition and we made the mistake of treating the symptoms instead of the cause. Nola continuously had a severe rash on her belly, her skin was dry and flaky and her coat was thin and brittle. Her vet at the time (not Dr. Cindy Baker) was treating her for allergies, alternating antibiotics, Benadryl and steroids. All of which were detrimental to her immune system, making the symptoms worse over time. Pair that with her last round of vaccination shots that she should have never received, as a ten year old dog with a compromised immune system, and you have the perfect recipe for cancer, which she was diagnosed with a few months later.

I was able to determine later that her issues were auto-immune related, not allergies, because all her symptoms went away once I began enhancing her food with these wonderful nutrients. Her rash disappeared, her skin was no longer flaky & her coat turned very thick and shiny – this was AFTER a cancer diagnosis. It was that simple.

When I look back at her symptoms, I feel ignorant and embarrassed for not realizing she was basically malnourished – it is so obvious to me now. We had always cooked Nola’s food from scratch because she also had food allergies, which were diagnosed when she was younger. I am the first to admit, we had gotten lazy with her food preparation over the years. We simplified the process with a stew of ground turkey and frozen vegetables, which worked well for her as a younger dog, but we did not provide her with all the additional nutrients needed as she aged into a senior dog. I was also not aware at the time that dogs need their vegetables to be pureed, before feeding them, because their bodies don’t break down vegetables the way humans do. Pureeing them will ensure its body gleans their nutrients before they pass through your dog’s short digestive tract. I promise you, I will never make these mistakes again. Watching her rash clear up so fast with healthy food, herbs & spices, when we struggled for years using Big Pharma, was eye opening and a great lesson of the power of food.

How you treat the body will affect the outcome – this thought should empower you!

I am getting ready to blow your mind further by simplifying how cancer works in the body and explaining how to create a cancer killing environment with, wait for it...FOOD! The following is true for both humans and canines, because cancer is cancer. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment and it feeds off sugar. Conversely, omega-3 starves cancer, by oxygenating the blood. Cancer cannot thrive or survive in an oxygenated, alkaline environment.

This information is a game-changer in your fight and knowledge is your secret weapon to controlling the disease. To be clear, I’m not claiming this is the next miracle cure for cancer and it’s the answer to everything, but it is basic chemistry that can’t be disputed. There is scientific evidence proving cancer can’t survive in an oxygenated, alkaline environment, so doesn’t it make sense to do everything possible to create an oxygenated, alkaline environment in your warrior’s body? I think so and I promise it won’t make things worse. This is a link to an article by Dr. Otto Warburg that shares results from his many years of research on the topic, http://cancercompassalternateroute.com/cancer-5/cancer-cannot-survive-in-an-oxygenated-alkaline-environment/.
