HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS:
THIS IS WHAT I GIVE LUCY! LOTS OF PILLS!
I buy most but not all of these from http://www.swansonvitamins.com except where noted.
They are cheap and most come in capsule form making it easy to open when needed (though I usually don't except in eve snack) for approx dosage changes for very small or very large dogs if you are going to follow Lucy. I am not affiliated with Swanson in any way. But most pills can be purchased anywhere. Amazon has some, or your health food store some but there it will be $$$.
Whatever you buy, be sure it DOES NOT have Xylitol or Sorbitol in it or anything with ***itol sweeteners. It is toxic to dogs. It is used a sweetener used in many liquid and chewable human products, bad for dogs. I strictly use capsules(not tablets).
Definitions that are important as to how each thing performs:
Angiogenesis - Cancer tumor's creation of blood vessel network to feed it. Anti-Angiogenesis would be to slow down or stop blood vessel creation to tumor. Here is an article on how anti-angiogenesis works to slow down cancer.
Apoptosis - Programmed cell death. This is what is normal. Cancer does not stop itself. Cancer cells grow unchecked without apoptosis.
Cell Differentation - Normal cell vs cancer cell. We don't want something in between, which parts of a tumor are. Some cells 'look' somewhere in the middle. The immune system won't be able to tell what is what. We want to make the issue black and white to the immune system. No hide and seek.
Anti-oxident - simply stuff that helps remove things we don't need or should have in the body. The oxidation process has leftovers.... Cancer and getting rid of cancer puts out alot of junk.
Dosages? I just give one cap of each in her food unless specified. Lucy is 80# Lab 8 years old. If your dog is much smaller please adjust if you are going to try this.
Another problem is getting your dog to take this many pills. Please read all the stuff on diet. Remember Taste, Texture, Temperature, Smell.
This is in a nutshell:
-Change in diet to higher protein, medium fat, and much lower carbs than typical american dogs get in a prepared bag/can diet. Cancer loves carbs/glucose to grow. It can't use protein or fat very well! NO GRAINS. Either from allergy or from poor digestion of them, it creates extra inflammation and demodulates the immune system. The intestine is the largest immune organ in the body. I just add cooked ground turkey (ground beef is too high in fat) from frozen store chub, or part of a can of Whole Earth Farms canned grain free (at Petco made by Merrick and good price) , or 2 fried eggs broken up with spatula - added to some kibble (the kibble also hides the 'feel' of the pills, add some can veggies like green or yellow wax beans or canned chopped spinach, maybe a just little frozen blueberries, top with some warm water to increase aroma and set off 'prey' alarm in dog brain, add pills and mix some with fork. I recommend Earthborne Meadow Feast, Wellness Core, or Zignature , or Fromm Grain free, because they have a higher protein and medium fat content to begin with than most kibbles. It's at most independent pet stores, VERY well made, and reasonably priced. Try to stay away from grains, beef, chicken, white potato(if you can) due to common allergy.
-AM meal mostly* antioxidants. Why mostly these in AM? Because the Artemisinin must be given at least 6-8 hours away from lots of anti-oxidents.
-PM meal mostly* immune boosters. Cancer grows most at night.
-Evening cottage cheese/flax oil snack - some supplements and 1 Rx
-an Rx of an old med (Naltrexone) that has a great side effect and no bad ones that boosts the immune system used off label and at very very low dosages. (Low Dose Naltrexone)
-*some other natural analogues of anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, and misc. things to support or deal with symptoms or side effects
- natural analogues of things that kill cancer cells, lessens their ability to grow, or makes them easier for the immune system to get rid of. If using the original natural whole version rather than a lab isolated synthesized version you get better results and much less side effects.
Each thing I chose has it's own properties in the mix of what it is doing: When combined, this combination kills cancer cells, makes cancer cells either look a cancer cell or a normal cell to the immune system so the body can find and remove easier, boost the immune system, get rid of all the junk these processes put out, slow blood vessel growth to cancer cells, and manage symptoms and effects of cancer. And of course a healthier animal in general. We can buy time. This is what we want. There is lessening or hopefully remission for as long as we can get it with a dog that is not stressed out and sick.
Again, I just wanted to create a very multi-modal diverse approach using as much well researched, but easily purchased stuff, that is a natural whole substance not some chemical extract in total isolation. The body is too complex too just focus on one thing. There is no magic one pill or treatment. It's 20! I hope your dog is not fussy. Your vet will likely nix your ideas. A Holistic vet won't. In fact, you will possibly need one to be able to get 2 of the herb compounds and the Low Dose Naltrexone Rx. The holistic vet probably won't want you to give all these pills I give Lucy either, they may only want a few given. I disobeyed mine. Hah! Now she is a believer every year she sees Lucy for her YEARLY checkup! Yes, yearly.

ANTI-OXIDENT ALSO CALLED IN CHINESE MEDICINE DI GU PI. HELPS LIVER TOO
Published studies have also reported biological effects of Lycium barbarum in animal models, and speculated from this basic research that there may be potential benefits against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases,]vision-related diseases (such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma) or from neuroprotective,[28] anticancer[29] or immunomodulatory activity.[4][30]
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lycium leaves are used in a tea, together with the root bark. A glucopyranoside (namely (+)-Lyoniresinol-3α-O-β-d-glucopyranoside) and phenolic amides (dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine, trans-N-feruloyloctopamine, trans-N-caffeoyltyramine and cis-N-caffeoyltyramine) isolated from wolfberry root bark have inhibitory activity in vitro against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi.[31][32]

American Biotech Labs Colloidal Silver Biotics (Swanson ) FOR ANTIBIOTIC USE
Liquid 8 fl oz 10 ppm Liquid (1/2 dropper full into meal - odorless and tasteless- ok long term as long as their meal has probiotics in it. The good dog foods do or also give a little good live yogurt) I give this when I think Lucy might have infection only.
COLLOIDAL SILVER tastes almost like pure water with
just a slight minerally taste, so it is easily administered orally to rabbits,
goats, dogs, cats, horses, birds, ferrets, people, and other beings. Colloidal
silver can be administered orally, in the eyes (for eye allergies,
conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc.), in the nose (for sinusitis), sprayed on
wounds, it doesn't sting or burn, via IV, Subcue, in the ears, and nebulized
into the lungs. There is no natural antibiotic alternative like it for ease of
administration and effectiveness. And no traditional antibiotic comes close to
the effectiveness of our Colloidal Silver - EIS.
COLLOIDAL
SILVER (CS/EIS) is known to kill over 650 known pathogens - viruses,
bacteria, fungi, and protozoan. Colloidal silver has been in use for thousands
of years.

IMMUNE, APOPTOSIS, ANTIANGIOGENIC, ANTI-OXIDENT, INCREASES CELL DIFFERENTATION.
Red Ginseng has antioxidant properties, protects against cancer formation, stimulates natural killer cell function, inhibits tumor invasion, and has antiangiogenesis properties.
According to the University of California, red ginseng may help prevent cancer through the activation of the body's immune system. The anti-cancer effects of red ginseng are mediated through the modulation of interferon and cytokine production. Interferons and cytokines activate natural killer cell activity, thereby inhibiting tumor cell progression.

Lester Packer, Ph.D. (scientist and professor at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California), refers to lipoic acid as the most powerful of all the antioxidants; in fact, Packer says that if he were to invent an ideal antioxidant, it would closely resemble lipoic acid (Packer et al. 1999). Alpha-lipoic acid claims anticarcinogenic credits because it independently scavenges free radicals, including the hydroxyl radical (a free radical involved in all stages of the cancer process and linked to an increase in the likelihood of metastasis).

VERY GOOD ANTI-OXIDENT Coenzyme Q-10 is a supplement with antioxidant properties. It is a compound produced by the body and essential for the production of energy at the cellular level. Coenzyme Q-10 helps protect the heart and helps boost the immune system. . Both these benefits can be very helpful in dogs fighting any form of cancer. Some chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin can cause side effects such as heart toxicity in dogs, so CoQ-10 can be given as a supplement to dog cancer patients, especially those on doxorubicin. Incidentally, in humans, supplementation of CoQ-10 with other cancer treatments has been shown to improve survival times.

YUNNAN PAI YAO OR SOMETIMES SPELLED BAI YAO – HERBS WITH CLOTTING FACTORS FOR BLEEDING WOUNDS OR TUMORS
Search google for this. Plenty of evidence. You can get on Amazon oddly enough. Read more at link above. DOSAGE: I gave Lucy, a 90 pound Lab, 1 capsule 2x - 3x per day just thrown in her food every day. Her bleeding was much less, her infections and swelling therefore stopped, and the scary and messy scenes stopped. During a bleed I might double or triple this dose for a few days. This bleeding had been going on for months out of her nose. Within a week of use it was less each time and after maybe a couple of months, the bleeding was hardly ever. At this point many months after diagnosis of canine nasal adenocarcinoma cancer, she has not bled AT ALL for many months. After she had not bled for 5 weeks straight I discontinued every day use. In fact, I have not used it at all since remission that occurred after about 4 months doing the stuff in this cancer research blog.
(I did restart some during the last year of her 5 years). This is not a blood thickener, it just helps the body clot faster when told to clot. The bleeding itself comes from the arteries feeding the tumor breaking due to the tumor increasing in size. But can also from shrinkage occasionally - but usually from growth and irritation.
I usually get Yunnan Pai Yao from Active Herb they have the best price in US - you will not find this at your health store or Swanson. It's not that cheap, but it is VERY effective for bleeding problems. It's even cheaper direct from Hong Kong Yun Nan Bai Yao Yunnan Bai Yao - Chinese Herbs for Bleeding Type Cancers such as Dog Nasal Cancer
This is one of the most prized formulas in all of Chinese Medicine. This is because this is the most effective treatment that helps stop bleeding while at the same time continuing to help proper circulation of blood. May be used externally as well and the capsule contents may be put directly onto small wounds to stop bleeding and accelerate healing. Used in both humans and animals (consult a holistic vet first!) in both everyday accidents and emergencies (again, please make sure to consult a physician).
So, if you or your dog has bleeding issues, then this is a good pill. Not needed if you or your dog don't have bleeding issues.

It sucks and they charge an arm and a leg for it. BUT I found much anecdotal evidence and testimonials to the effect. And I also do give it to Lucy who is now in remission. I opted for using everything except chemo and radiation. So, I have to recommend it. This is a vet version. There is a human version at bottom of page.

Slows tumor growth and slows metastasis
L-Arginine is the main supplement in Hills Prescription Cancer Dog Canned Food. Not that great a dog food (very expensive and not IMHO of quality) but that's where my idea came from to use L-Arginine.
L-Arginine
is an essential amino acid required for the normal cellular growth, metabolism
and organ function. However, L-Arginine also plays a vital role in inducing
cell death - Apoptosis.
In a
recent study conducted on dogs suffering with lymphoblastic lymphoma,
researchers were able to increase survival time to a significant level by
providing L-Arginine and fish oil only as a dietary supplement. L-Arginine was found
to lower the levels of lactic acid and insulin in the blood and also reduce the
levels of cytokines that can help in the growth of cancer. L-Arginine also
helps in enhancing immunity in cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy
or surgery. Certain cancer types do not require L-Arginine for their growth.
Studies have shown that overloading such cancer cells with excess L-Arginine
has resulted in decreased tumor growth. L-Arginine Amino Acid cancer research data

Studies done on laboratory animals suggest that curcumin and turmeric has significant anti-cancer activities and properties. Curcumin is making huge strides in cancer cures, as it not only inhibits tumor growth, but it shrinks existing tumors and prevents new ones from growing in carcinogenic cancers. This herb combo above has other herbs that also act like the above all working together. And without the GI upset and side effects of the prescription NSAID COX-2 pills. I am using this in place of the Rx Peroxicam / Meloxicam / Metacam NSAID. But in the beginning (Lucy did) and sometimes during, you might need the vet Rx to beat down inflammation.

IMMUNE , ANTI-ANGIOGENIC
Reishi mushrooms work to stimulate the immune system. By doing so, they restrict and prevent the growth of cancer cells. Reishi is known to stimulate the production of potent natural anti-cancer substances that inhibit the growth of tumors. It can prevent the growth of secondary cancers, and reduces side-effects of chemotherapy. There are other mushrooms that help too. More variety the better!

YUNNAN PAI YAO OR SOMETIMES SPELLED BAI YAO –
HERBS WITH CLOTTING FACTORS FOR BLEEDING WOUNDS OR TUMORS
HERBS WITH CLOTTING FACTORS FOR BLEEDING WOUNDS OR TUMORS
Search google for this. Plenty of evidence. Read link above.DOSAGE: I gave Lucy, a 90 pound Lab, 1 capsule 2x per day just thrown in her food every day. Her bleeding stopped, her infections and swelling therefore stopped, and the scary and messy scenes stopped. During a bleed I would double or triple this dose for a few days. This bleeding had been going on for months out of her nose. Within a week of use it was less each time and after maybe a couple of months, the bleeding was hardly ever. At this point many months after diagnosis of canine nasal adenocarcinoma cancer, she has not bled AT ALL for many months now. After she had not bled for 5 weeks straight I discontinued every day use. In fact, I have not used it at all since remission that occurred after about 4 months doing the stuff in this blog. This is not a blood thickener, it just helps the body clot faster when told to clot. The bleeding itself comes from the arteries feeding the tumor breaking due to the tumor increasing in size. I usually get Yunnan Pai Yao from Active Herb - you will not find this at your health store or Swanson. It's not that cheap, but it is VERY effective for bleeding problems. It's even cheaper direct from Hong Kong Yun Nan Bai Yao Yunnan Bai Yao Read the comments on Amazon(it's never in stock at amazon.com and it's more expensive there anymore but the reviews are still there).

Artemisinin (wiki) is the second most common herbal I have read about to fight cancer in animals and it is extremely safe in almost all cases. Just don't give during radiation.
Artemisinin is an extract from the herb sweet wormwood and was
originally used to treat malaria. It is currently under study by Dr. Henry Lai
at the University of Washington for its effects against cancer, especially
breast and bone cancer.
So how does it work?
Cancer cells take up more iron then normal cells. Artemisinin is
attracted to these high iron cells and selectively goes to them. Once inside
the cancer cells it reacts with the iron causing free radial formation which
kills the cancer cells.
Don't give to dogs within 20 days of radiation.

You might want to consider stopping all shots. I know... But if your dog has cancer and is not running around loose in the neighborhood, you should consider this.

I call all of this The Tippner Cancer Protocol. It's simply a diverse set of attacks and support for cancer. Gotta call it something since Lucy is still in remission well after vets and googles info on nasal cancer prognosis...
IMPORTANT! THIS IS A LOT OF PILLS. YOU MAY FIND IT HARD AT FIRST TO GET YOUR DOG TO TAKE THEM ALL IN THEIR FOOD IF THEY ARE FUSSY. JUST PUT A FEW IN AND BE SURE TO FOLLOW ARTICLES ON HOW TO MAKE FOOD IRRESISTABLE SO THEY IGNORE THE PILLS AND JUST CHOW DOWN. PLUS, IF YOUR DOG IS SMALL OR OLD YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE SMALLER DOSAGES. ASK A HOLISTIC VET IF IN DOUBT.
Whatever you buy, be sure it DOES NOT have Xylitol or anything with ***itol in it. It is toxic to dogs. It is a sweetener used in many chewable products. I strictly use capsules.

VARIANCES
- If your dog has Mast Cell Tumors, then Tagamet or Pepcid and Benedryl OTC combo works very well to add. They both work on both types of histamine receptors - mast cells tumors release lots of histamine. Ask your vet about this.
- If your dog has Hemangiosarcoma Lucy's list is good to consider I think.
- If your dog has Osteosarcoma, same list consideration.
- If your dog has forms of blood cancers like T-Cell Lymphoma, then I might remove the Mushrooms and Beta Glucans because they could make things worse. They trigger t-cells which may not be the best thing for T-cell lymphomas. But are effective and helpful for other cancers. GENISTEIN supplements addition ( google it as canine lymphoma genistein and see what comes up!). Genistein is an isoflavone extracted from soybeans. If you google it you'll find page after page of promising research -- mostly and especially on lymphoma and t-cell lymphoma. Among other things it caused the death of those cancer cells without harming healthy ones. (Something chemo or radiation DON"T do) Swanson does carry it . I also have Lucy on Melatonin--- Good for many cancers like hers. but NOT for lymphoma -- or at least, evidence for leukemia and lymphoma patients is not complete, but early evidence suggests it may be better for those cancers than the patient. Do not give Bone Essentials- it may be bad for elevated calcium level that may be present in some blood cancers.
- Dosages? I just give one cap of each in her food unless specified. Lucy is 80# Lab 8 years old. If your dog is much smaller please adjust if you are going to try this.
