Cancer Diet
By Betty Lewis, RVT., Dr. AN

Nutritional goals: to support the immune system and detoxify the body. Follow a natural food diet. These books will help you:
"Give Your Dog a Bone," Ian Billinghurst, DVM
"Natural Health for Dogs & Cats," Richard Pitcairn, DVM
"Reigning Cats and Dogs," Pat McKay
If you can't feed a totally raw diet, use a high grade commercial food and supplement with raw foods. Some acceptable choices are:
Innova (800-532-6331 for a local distributor)
Wysong (800-748-0233 for UPS delivery)
Back to Basics (800-219-2558 for distributor/delivery)

WATER
Use only pure water. Do not use tap water. Water from a reverse osmosis purification system is best; distilled water is second and store-bought spring water is third.

JUICES
Vegetable juices. Buy a juicer. Moulinex (or similar) from a store is okay. Phoenix brand from Albion 1-800-248-1475 is a heavier duty model. Use the juices as liquid in the food or as a drink.

HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy is best used under the guidance of a homeopath. However, the following remedies may be useful:
Phosphorus- if there is suppuration
Asterias- if there is ulceration
Nat mur -especially if there is anemia and dehydration

TOXINS
MINIMIZE TOXINS IN ENVIRONMENT
Cleaning items in the home, garden supplies, (including your neighbor's Chem Lawn or the fruit trees which are sprayed upwind of your house) flea products, cigarette smoke, riding in the back of a car with the window open, drugs

EXERCISE
Encourage exercise to the extent possible and safe.

SUNLIGHT
When fresh air and sunlight are not available (as in winter), provide full spectrum lighting inside. Vitalite is one brand. Call lighting or hardware stores.

ENERGY WORK
Energy therapy goals: to reduce pain, induce relaxation and allow the body to heal itself. The use of various types of energy work can help reduce pain and promote healing. We use combination of Therapeutic Touch, TTEAM, Reiki, and others.
