Innovative Holistic Cancer Treatment for Dogs and Cats - Ozone and Mistletoe Therapy
Cancer is (frighteningly) occurring in dogs at younger ages than previously. About 50% of dogs over the age of 10 years will develop cancer. Cancer rates in cats are not as well known, but suspected to be similar to dogs. Pets get cancer about the same rate as humans.
There are many options for cancer treatment in dogs and cats, ranging from the more traditional medical approaches like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to Holistic approaches that we offer here at Fox Ridge Veterinary Clinic like Ozone and Mistletoe. Ozone and Mistletoe can also be used to support dogs and cats receiving chemotherapy or radiation.
Mistletoe Therapy For Dogs and Cats With Cancer
Wait! Is it the Christmas Mistletoe you're talking about??? Yes ! It is the Mistletoe couples smooch under at Christmas time!
Mistletoe (Viscum Album) has been used since 1917 for cancer treatment as a "warming therapy" to stimulate the immune system to fight cancer. Mistletoe is a standard part of cancer treatment in Germany, Switzerland and South America today. It is frequently used along with chemo and radiation, but can be used a stand-alone treatment.
Mistletoe contains Lectins and Viscotoxins that fight cancer by stimulating the immune system to seek and damage cancer cells. It also decreases blood supply to the tumor and produces endorphin-like substances that decrease pain, stimulate appetite and improve the patient's quality of life.
Mistletoe is given by subcutaneous injection with a very small needle three times weekly. We can teach you to do this at home, or if you live nearby you can bring your pet in to the clinic for the injections.
Mistletoe can be used for all types of cancer (malignant or benign) and in any stage of the disease. It works best for solid tumors like Lymphoma, Bladder tumors (Transitional Cell Carcinoma), Liver and Lung tumors, Mammary tumors and Mast Cell tumors but can be used to fight any type of cancer.
Ozone Therapy For Dogs and Cats With Cancer
Ozone increases oxygen levels in the cells, providing more mitochondrial energy. Diseases like cancer are known as anaerobic diseases, which means they thrive in low oxygen environments. Ozone therapy increases the oxygen level in the body, making a less-favorable environment for the cancer.
Ozone can be used to treat any type of cancer in pets, including Mast Cell Tumors, Lymphoma, Osteosarcoma, Bladder tumors (Transitional Cell Carcinoma), soft tissue sarcoma and Nasal tumors.
Ozone is also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory so it helps with pain and secondary infections.
Ozone is used for treating skin conditions, allergies, antibiotic resistant infections, pain, ringworm and non-healing wounds.
We offer rectal ozone insufflation. We can also teach you to give your pet rectal ozone insufflation at home with the purchase of the required equipment.
"All chronic pain, suffering and diseases are caused by a lack of oxygen at the cellular level." - Dr Arthur C. Guyton
