Hello April,

Re: Cancer can be prevented with?

Just because your pet isn't a senior, it doesn't mean that
he/she WON'T be affected by it [cancer].

SO WHAT can you do?

Here are some KEY POINTS from my membership site:

Cancer Prevention

What is Your Pet Eating?

This is the most important thing that you can do to prevent cancer
in your pet! When the body is supported with the building blocks
needed to maintain healthy cells and repair damaged ones, healing
from within can begin.

It is best to feed a premium quality holistic diet - avoid artificial
colors. Ensure that a natural preservative is used. Some dogs thrive
on a raw food diet; if you take the proper precautions, then this is
a great option.

Cancer cells thrive on carbohydrates and proteins, but can't grow
as fast with fats. Certain veterinary diets have been designed for
this, but you can also make your own low-carbohydrate, high-fat
cancer diet.

Simple Cancer Diet

50% chicken/fish
50% mixed vegetables
1/2 tsp of olive oil per 10 lbs
Salt and garlic to taste

Supplements

The next most important thing is to supplement your pet's diet.
The Omega 3 essential fatty acids should be added to EVERY pet's
diet; in fact, FATTY ACIDS ARE ESSENTIAL. Omega 3 fatty acids
are great anti-inflammatories and have been shown to prevent the
spread of cancer.

Flax is the best source for dogs. For cats, the liquid form is
the only option, and they should receive it twice daily, in
the form of Salmon oil or a supplement such as EFA Caps,
which can be purchased from your veterinarian.

FLAVONOIDS. These are compounds in a class of their own. They
compose the thousands of structures that give the bright color
to fruits and vegetables. They are antioxidants as well as having
anti-cancer properties. These include flavones, (apigenin),
isoflavones (genistein), and flavanols (quercitin). Purchase a
mixed bioflavoniod product that contains polyphenols,
particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin-gallate), which is the
specific flavonoid isolated from green tea.

ANTIOXIDIZE. Antioxidants have been shown to slow the growth
and spread of some types of cancer. Vitamin C, Vitamin E and
Selenium are the most effective ones.

Water

The fluoride and chlorine added in most urban water systems
may play a roll in the increasing incidence of cancer. If
possible, give your pet filtered water.

Vaccinations

Vaccines are often equated to visits from your mother-in-law.
You only want what is necessary for your pet. A limited
vaccine program is highly recommended-and is especially
important if your companion belongs to any of the breeds
known to be more susceptible to cancer and chronic diseases.

In cats, vaccine associated sarcoma is a real risk. In dogs,
the vaccines continually stimulate the immune system - in
an older dog this may bring on undesirable effects and some
researchers have wondered about the increased frequency of
vaccines and increased incidence of cancer in pets.

The bottom line: only vaccinate your pet for diseases they are
likely to get if not vaccinated, and only give the vaccine
boosters as often as needed. As a generality, most pets can
likely go without ANY vaccines past the age of 10. Refer to
the following section: "The Truth about Pet Vaccinations"
for more information.

Exercise

As with people, regular exercise will help prevent cancer.
It keeps the body weight lower, and causes the release of
relaxing stress hormones, called endorphins.

Environmental Toxins

There are increasing bodies of evidence pointing toward the
array of environmental toxins as causes of some cancers.
Avoid pesticides on your pet if possible. Avoid using toxic
lawn care products, if possible, and try to clean your house
with non-toxic cleaners.

As a society, we are exposed to more cancer causing products

than we are even aware. A recent study showed the presence of
over 75 environmental carcinogens in a group of "healthy" people.

There are many things that you can do to prevent Cancer. These
changes will be good for both you and your pet.
