How was the test done for the fungal? If you do just a swab test, you
get alot of positives for all kinds of things. The nasal cavity will
have all kinds of bugs in it and many times will show Aspergillus in a simple swab test.
BUT, this is common. It's only a problem if the Aspergillus actually
gets into everything and the body is weak, then it can at later stages
be just as bad as cancer and yes it is hard and expensive to try to
cure. So, you just have to really know and ask what the real deal is.
On a positive note, the stuff I give Lucy to strengthen the immune
system also help battle all invaders. It won't interfere.

The Flagyl (the above metronidazole) won't interfere. It should help the fungal
condition problem, should have anyway. I couldn't handle the Flagyl when they gave it to me for my diverticulitis, it harsh for some people. The LDN Low Dosage Naltrexone helps the immune system by
boosting it and other stuff given helps by modulating it so it doesn't go
crazy high OR low.
Antibiotics kill stuff. Yours kill anaerobic bacteria and some
fungals. But the High IG Colostrum and cooking food in coconut oil can
really help kill Aspergillus fungus, bacterias, and such. The caprylic acids
in the coconut oil kill bad guys but oddly don't kill your good
bacteria in your gut. Be sure to supplement with those probiotics to
keep a good level of good bacteria in the gut. The antiobiotic kills
most bacterias so you must give probiotics hours between any antibiotics. You need good bacteria of many varieties to digest well and not inflame the gut. Also remember the intestine is one of the bigger immune defenses you have when it's happy.

I don't know about taking off yet. You should give all this stuff a
chance to work and they maybe try to wean slowly off metro as a trial
and see what his stools are like. You will have to talk with your vet...

Vets really don't want dogs to take it normally because they think dogs don't
need it if they get some sun. Well, todays dogs just dont spend all
their time outdoors much anymore. If you give too much dogs can get
kidney stones. I do give Lucy 5000mcg about once or twice a week.She
weighs about 90#. That's a huge amount of D. And no vet will
recommend this and in fact will say stop it. But I found the research
compelling in Vit D (it's really not a vitamin it's actually a hormone
used by every single process in the body). And I think dogs with
cancer need it. So that said we are all on our own. What is needed for life vs. what is needed optimally has a very wide spread!

Everyone so far (about 20-30 dogs I lost count) do much better after
doing all the stuff and most live much longer than what the vet said
would happen. The ones that died closer to the average, did really
well for a while but then crashed. These crashes tended to happen
because they were diagnosed late stage before even finding my site.
AND what was the common killer in some cases was not the cancer but
the dog would crash and the vet would give too much Prednisone too
quickly and the dog and the owner could not take the side effects of
the Prednisone. So the dog would get put down. Vets REALLY need to
dose ramp upword on this med rather than shovel it in right off. The
others that were late stage suffered from seizures because the tumor
was located too close to the brain and had softened the bone and put
pressure there. Anti seizure meds were used but not effective enough,
so the owners put those dogs down. So if not late stage, all the other
dogs are either still alive well after diagnosis (some may still have
occassional minor bleeds) or died months after diagnosis of sometime
unrelated (sort of) causes due to stress on the body (they had other
health issues like diabetes, kidney problems, heart murmors, old age,
and such). I can't say this works on every dog. Some dogs won't take
the dang pills no matter how great a meal you give it in. Some dogs
are late stage. Some are too old to get the immune system back up. Some have other problems that
complicate things. Some vets are not on board with anything.
I certainly will update you how my dog will be

I will share everything I learned. Now if there was a
way to have one pill to give that would be great. But not possible....
The body is too complex to fix with one idea or one process to fix.Plus once you heat most plant herbs and supplements they don't work.

Every liner note with every vaccine says it might cause cancer or give to animals who are sick and it might cause alot of side effects. But the vet and those drug makers oddly does not have to do the long list of bad stuff a drug can do like our meds that the FDA makes drug ads almost comical to listen or read.
