Castor Oil
12/24/2011: Linda from Toronto, Ontario replies: "I
was just reading on www.castoroilhome.com,
"Castor oil primarily contains ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid component that is notable for its many healing benefits for the human body. Ricinoleic acid possesses the ability to draw toxins and other poisonous components out of the tissues, thereby restoring the health of parts of your body that have been infected.
Castor oil, a natural plant oil extracted from the castor bean seed, is said to pull out tumors from the body, according to American psychic Edgar Cayce. It is often recommended for the treatment of tumors near the surface.
Aside from reducing or dissolving tumors, castor oil is also regarded as a natural remedy for other swellings in the skin. It can be massaged on bunions, moles, warts, calluses, and cysts. There are also reports that uterine fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts that are benign or non-cancerous may also be addressed by castor oil.
They also said, don't use it on cancerous growths as it may aggravate the condition."

Dogs and cats with cancer need a diet that is high in quality protein, low
in carbohydrates and rich in enzymes and Omega 3 fatty acids. However, depending
upon the type of dog cancer, e.g. canine liver cancer and/or other complications
such as canine kidney disease, a high protein diet may not be appropriate. Thus,
a customized homemade diet for dogs is often required
http://www.ehow.com/about_6528553_canine-osteosarcoma-diet.html
The number-one rule of thumb of the diet, according to dogcancer.net, is to keep your dog away from grains. Dogs do not produce the enzymes necessary to digest grains. Also avoid any simple sugars as they feed on cancer cells.
The first ingredient on any commercial dog food should be any type of meat. Supplement commercial food with additional animal-protein sources, such as sardines, cottage cheese, eggs, hamburger
or ground turkey. A supplement of fish oil such as Omega 3, 6 and 9 is important
in fighting cancer. Herbaltreatment.com highly recommends a natural, holistic
approach including protein, bones, eggs, greens, root vegetables, millet and
linseed, garlic, wheat germ, cod liver oil, kelp and a limited amount of table
scraps. The canine osteosarcoma diet will assist your dog's body to reverse the
process of cancer as he heals.
Holistic Cures for Dogs With Cancer

However, commonly prescribed supplements for canine cancer include certain digestive enzymes as well as antioxidants. Antioxidants often used include vitamins C and E, selenium and green
tea.
Another common dietary addition recommended for dogs with cancer is 1 tbsp. of organic
flaxseed oil mixed with a half cup of cottage cheese. This is blended and fed to
the dog three times per day for three months. Called the Budwig Diet, this
mixture is believed to add lipoproteins to the body's cells, which in turn
reduce the size of cancer tumors.

Holistic Medicines for Dogs With Cancer
Frequently a side effect of cancer is loss of appetite and subsequent loss of weight. The dog needs a high level of nutrition to maintain function and fight off the cancer. Essentially, the food needs to have the highest possible nutritional value per ounce. High quality
proteins are vital. These come in the form of fish, chicken, beef and turkey.
Raw or lightly cooked fresh meats are best. If the fresh approach is not chosen,
seek out a quality commercial preparation. The food should have high protein
content, with meat listed in the top ingredients. According to Bone Cancer Dogs,
cancer cells need carbohydrates to grow. (See Ref. 3). Opt for a food that is
low in simple carbohydrates, such as milk, fruit and sugar, and complex
carbohydrates found in starchy vegetables. Adding digestive enzymes to the food
can help to aid in digestion and retain the maximum nutrients of the
food.

What I discovered is amazing and vast as far as alternative treatments go.
Since
the 1930s scientists have known that cancer cannot thrive in bodies that are
alkaline rather than acidic. Most of us and our pets inhabit highly acidic
bodies because of the foods we do and do not choose to eat. * *
The first thing I did for my dog was get him off of his commercial food – even
though it was a very good food you can only buy in the specialty pet stores –
and I began to make his meals myself.
There are three supplemental treatments I am using beyond basic supplements.
Each of the following are linked to order pages you may use if you like, but I
am in no way affiliated with these brands or companies. Do your own research and
find what resonates with you best. I am putting this out there to help make the
research process easier for others, as I spent endless hours looking for all
that I have found below:
Essiac Tea
Vitamin B-17
Carnivora
http://pathwithpaws.com/blog/2011/05/01/diets-for-cancer-in-cats-and-dogs-you-are-what-you-eat-a-fighting-cancer-machine/
Sample cancer diets
Dog (approximately for a 40 lb dog per day)
1 1/2 cups cooked or raw meat including liver and organ meat (if you use fish or pork make sure it is cooked)
1 cup cooked vegetables
1/4 cup yam, sweet potato or pumpkin, cooked or canned
1/8 cup nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews
2 T yogurt with live cultures
1 egg
1 teaspoon Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil
a calcium supplement (see below)
Cat (2-3 days of cat food for the average cat)
12 ounces of meat or fish ground or chopped(about 1-1/2 cup)
1/8 cup liver and organ meat (about one chicken liver)
1 egg
2 T pumpkin, sweet potato, or yam cooked or canned
1/2 teaspoon Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil
1 teaspoon almond butter
taurine 250-500mg (if the meat is cooked or if using fish)
calcium (see below)
If possible I also recommend adding reishi, shitake, and/or maitake
mushrooms to the diet. Mushrooms are strong immune stimulates and have
anti-cancer properties. Add them in as some of the veggies. Mushrooms should
always be cooked as the cooking releases their helpful properties and when they
are not cooked they are mildly toxic.
When picking vegetables, broccoli and other leafy dark green vegetables
should be considered. Many studies have been done on broccoli’s effects against
cancer. See the article Broccoli
Fights Cancer.
The pumpkin, sweet potato, yam, and cod liver oil are high in Vitamin A.
Vitamin A promotes mechanisms in the body that kill cancer cells and cause cell
differentiation. Consider adding other sources of vitamin A such as liver and
carrots.
A calcium supplement needs to be added to any diet made for cats and dogs.
There are many ways to do this.
If you are making raw food make sure the meat is frozen for at least 48
hours to kill off any dangerous parasites.
Nuts such as walnuts, almonds and cashews are high in trace nutrients,
minerals, vitamins and good fats. If possible include these in your diet. Cats
sometimes do better with a little almond butter. Avoid macadamia nuts which are
toxic to dogs.

- There are many commercial products such as Animal
Essentials Natural Seaweed Calcium
.
- Bone
Meal Powder
can also be used. Use one teaspoon for an average sized dog.
- Many people prefer to add a Centrum
Silver
a day for average to large sized dogs.
- If you are feeding a raw diet you can feed raw chicken necks for calcium.
- If you are using eggs in your diet consider smashing up the egg shell and adding it to the diet. One egg shell provides enough calcium for an average sized dog. 1/8-1/4 of an eggshell provides enough for a cat.
Also, I immediately STOPPED all deworming and vaccination program which are
well known to cause toxin to build up and suppress the immune system in the long
run (Read about the comments
of vets who believe that vaccines are damaging our pets). Shasta had
no need to be dewormed as she had no worms to begin with. She was emaciated, not
because of worms, but because she was unable to digest the commercial pet food.
learn why
commercial pet food adversly affect your animal's health)
Dr. Donald Ogden DVM writes that commercial pet food (even
the best known and most expensive brands) have had their nutrients altered,
adulterated, devitalized and destroyed by heat, processing, coloring,
preservatives and other chemicals. Feeding your animal such food on a regular
basis causes waste-toxins to accumulate in the blood, lymphs and tissue which
contributes to a weak immune system and renders our pet susceptible to chronic
diseases.
1. In their natural, RAW form, I puree a
variety of organically grown vegetables in the food processor:
(Definition of raw: uncooked, unheated, unprocessed, unadulterated -
why raw?
). I have fed Shasta all sorts of raw vegetables: carrots, eggplants,
tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, cabbage, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.I also
feed her the veggie's fiber/pulp that I save when I make vegetable juice and
wheatgrass juice for my family. Raw vegetables are a very important source of
vitamins and minerals as well as fiber. Merchants at our local weekly farmer's
market know that I feed Shasta fresh produce and they often give me slightly
damaged or overripe avocados, lettuce and other veggies which they would
normally discard.
Fasting
As Shasta became older, I began to fast her on water once a week or once every other week to help maintain her health. By age 6 or 7, as her metabolism slowed down, I began fasting her every other day but I have increased the size of her portions of food. By age 8, she would eat only once every other day. She seems to appreciate fasting and never ask or look for food during fasting days. If I had a sick animal, the first thing I do is stop feeding it for a few days. That is the first step toward helping the healing process. William Pollak D.V.M. says that occasional fasting by cats and dogs is a normal, natural phenomenon, especially when natural raw, fresh foods are fed. Occasional fasting by cats and dogs is a normal, natural phenomenon, especially when natural raw, fresh foods are fed. As long as your pet appears strong with good energy and clear responsiveness, self imposed fasting oftentimes ends by itself with a renewed gusto for life. The system requires periodic rest and purification and so it is taken naturally. Occasional fasting is natural in the cat and dog; it is the behavior of rest and purification. Cleaning the bowl of all the commercial food every day, day in and day out is unnatural and is the harbinger of most chronic disease seen in our pet population. When nutritional depletions have been satiated on the natural raw food diet, overeating does not take place. Overeating is a behavior encouraged by feeding commercial food, overeating does not occur in the natural setting. Overeating deprives the system of rest and purification, for in a nutritionally deficient state the body continues to crave; making the mind confused. The mind then can only satiate itself through the dullness of further overeating. This is not living; it is survival mode.
