I firmly believe that cancer is a metabolic disease. This is nothing new and over the last few years, this has been further proved by Dr. Thomas Seyfried and several others. Dr. Seyfried's wrote a book aimed for his fellow peers to prove his theory: 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer.' In this controversial book, Seyfried critically examines current cancer theories and also lists case study after case study done over the last two decades that show cancer is primarily a metabolic disease that requires metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. That's what my prevention protocol is based on.
I have developed 6 steps
The first step is to adjust the diet and reduce or remove all carbohydrates from the food. Carbohydrates (glycogen) is the primary fuel for cancer and also causes inflammation and other medical issues. Dogs and cats do NOT need carbohydrates. This initial phase may include fasting and a calorie restricted diet for a period. There is, in my opinion, no way around this. Proper nutrition will lay the foundation for the prevention of cancer. You don't build a house on an unstable and weak foundation. It's the same with a dog's health; it depends on a healthy immune system. That's the foundation.
The second step is to create an alkaline environment. Research shows that cancer cells like acidic environments, they surround themselves with lactic acid a byproduct of their metabolism (fermentation). By changing this environment to an alkaline state cancer cells' ability to grow seems to slow down.
The third step that I believe can be beneficial is to add a few natural products that are found in different plants, trees, leaves, and roots. These products have shown to be very promising in preventing this horrible disease from affecting our beloved pets.
The fourth step is not to overfeed. A periodical calorie restriction is in my opinion extremely beneficial for protection and general health of a carnivore. This has do be tailored to each dog.
The fifth step is plenty of exercises. Dogs are programmed for movement and it is a necessary part of their immune functions. There is no way around this. The lymphatic system is the most important system in a dog's body in my opinion. It is a transport system and a part of the defense system. It can only function if the body moves since it has no pump, the muscle movement is the 'pump'. If your dog does not get exercise this critical system is not working and chemicals and toxins build up inside the cells and that causes the immune system to degenerate and not function properly. It does not matter how well you feed and do everything I outlined above if you don't exercise your dog. The only reason you won't do this is you! You don't feel like taking your dog for a walk. Well, that's too bad. Having a dog comes with responibily for a lifeform so increadible, loving and loyal to us and we can't give back something that is vital for their health? I'm sorry but I don't feel anyone has an excuse for this. It is also beneficial for you! Our lymphatic system function the same way. By movement!
The sixth step is to limit exposure to toxins and chemicals. This includes limited vaccination, flea, tick and heartworm medication and pesticides found in many products and on your lawn. Create a clean chemical free environment for your pet, you and your family.
This program has given me a wonderful peace of mind that I have not had since my dog died from cancer. So far, I do not know of any incidents of cancer where these products were a part of this prevention protocol. I realize this is a strong statement that could be perceived as 'too good to be true', but this is honestly my experience so far.
I have started a research project to and document this. I hope you will take part in this study if you decide to follow the protocol listed below. Due to the controversial aspects of this program, I will keep your participation private, and your information will not be shared without your consent.
For reduced risk of cancer:
No 1: Feed your dog the right food to build and sustain a healthy immune system. That is an absolute must and the foundation for a successful prevention protocol.
Dogs are carnivores (wikipedia carnivore) and require a carnivore diet: raw, natural food (more here). Of all the pet owners that have contacted me for help with cancer, every single one fed their dog kibble or some sort type commercial dog food. I repeat: every single dog that I have helped was fed kibble before he or she got cancer. This food is so very, very wrong for our pets. The digestive system of a dog and cat is designed for a carnivorous diet. Raw feeding will promote a strong immune system that is the best defense against cancer cells developing and growing out of control.
Depending on what type of food you have fed, the number of vaccinations and other environmental factors it may be beneficial to fast and calorie restrict your pet for some time.
No 2: Detox program, from kibble to raw - Restore the compromised immune system
Give your pet Essiac Tea*
If you are coming from kibble to raw I, recommend that you detox your dog with Essiac tea.
Essiac Tea can:
- Help fight disease by increasing the antibodies
- Help protect cells from free radical attacks
- Strengthen muscles and bones
- Promote better function of organs and tissues
- Help removing the accumulation of toxins in the body partly by improving colon health and healthy elimination.
- Strengthen lungs
- Can help reduce growth of abnormal tumors cancerous or benign

Please contact me for the best source. There are some knockoffs out there that claim they have the right formula. I have researched this carefully and located the best place to get this, and best of all they sell this cheaper than anyone. They do it in the spirit of Nurse Caisse that never charged for her services. The got the formula directly from Nurse Caisse's associate, Dr. Burch.
No 3. Give your pet MSM (Sulfur)
We are all sulfur deficient thanks to the agricultural revolution when we came up with the brilliant idea of fertilizing our soils. That eliminated many minerals and nutrients including sulfur. Sulfur is a vital element in a dog's body. In short it helps transport oxygen, vitamins and minerals to the cells. From there it carries metals and toxins out from the cells. Being sulfur deficient slows this crucial process down. Pets never really get the nutrients they need, and their cells do not get a proper cleaning. We need to add this back into our pets bodies.
Getting the organic sulfur made in the US is imperative. There is a lot of 'junk' MSM on the market manufactured in other countries. Do not get that! It is not pure.
No 4: Give your dog B17 found in raw apricot seeds.
Just 2-4 raw apricot seeds a day (for a medium-sized dog) may reduce the risk of cancer substantially (from my experience). These seeds (kernels) have to be raw; often the kernels you get in a regular health food store are roasted, which destroys the enzymes that work so well killing cancer cells. B17 acts as a second defense against cancer. If you dog's immune system is compromised, which is often the case after being kibble fed, B17 is your backup defense until the immune system is restored. I have seen cases where a dog has developed cancer after switching to raw feeding. It is a rare occurrence, but don't risk this; add the seeds, which provide a good defense.
No 5: Clean out the digestive system track and protect your dog from parasites and worms
Add Human Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE). This is an amazing natural product with a broad range of benefits unknown to most.
This is very important if you come from kibble. When I first learned about this product, I thought, "This is too good to be true." Now, after using it for 12 years, I would never be without it.

DE consist of small cylinders looking like Chex Cereal. They have a high negative charge. As millions of these move through the pet's digestive system, they are believed to absorb and attract fungi, viruses, endotoxins, E.coli, pesticides, drug residue, and heavy metals. They are trapped in the cylinders and transported out of the body. How brilliant! Plus, any parasites that live in the digestive system are cut up by the sharp surface of these cylinders. This results in a cleaner, healthier digestive tract that in turn promotes less sickness.
DE is very hard: compared to diamonds at 9, DE is at 7. This makes DE an effective scrubber of the walls of the small and large intestines. Mucus and molds left over from being fed kibble over many years are removed and making absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream much more efficient. A small amount of silica gets absorbed into the bloodstream, as well. Silica is effective in destroying bad fats in the blood stream.
I highly recommend DE as a part of a detox program to restore the immune system back to optimal levels.
My daily cancer protection program is:
- Feed raw. If you do not know how I wrote a book for beginners. (more about it here)
- Essiac Tea (contact me for the best source)
- MSM
- PH Adjust (keep their body alkaline: sodium bicarbonate, potassium, and magnesium)
- Apricot Seeds
- Diatomaceous Earth (will cleanse your dog's intestines and also protect against parasites and worms)
- Coconut Oil
Don't forget to exercise your dog every day.
Giving your dog plenty of exercise is vital. This moves oxygen throughout the body, which is good for healthy cells, and bad for cancer cells. The lymphatic system is also dependent on exercise for moving lymph throughout the body. Exercise also maintains good muscle mass.
Here is what I recommend - Long Living Pets Detox Program and Prevention Pack
- Essiac Tea - Detox dose for one month. (I only recommend one brand). After one month go on a maintenance dose
- MSM (Sulfur) - Every 12 hrs
- Raw apricot seeds - Once a day
- Diatomaceous Eart - 2-3 time a week
- Coconut Oil - Once or twice a day
To make this easier for you, I have created a 'prevention pack' that consist of the 4 first products I recommend so you don't have to research and find the ones what work. There is a lot of confusion and misinformation in regards to what is the best and purest products. Some if these are produced in other countries and you would never know. I have done that research for you and these are the products I use on my dogs and recommend.
If you want to put your pet(s) on this prevention program, please register (link below) and I will help you get started and support you as long as you need. I also hope you will take part in the cancer prevention study I have. It consists of raw fed pets taking what I listed above.
*I can't, of course, guarantee that your pet will never get cancer but based on my experience this works for me and many others. I have not had anyone report back to me that their pet has developed cancer on this protocol.
If you need help with a dog that has cancer, please read this first
Long Living Pets immune maintenance program for reduced risk of cancer. (LLP-MP)
This is for everyone that has gone through the detox program explained above. This is what I add to my dogs food every day and will for the rest of their lives. So far (12 years), I have not had any incidents of cancer. I see excellent overall health and a slowdown in the aging process.
The Long Living Maintenance program consist of:
- Apricot seeds
- MSM
- Ph Adjust (sodium bicarbonate, potassium, and magnesium)
- Essiac Tea
- Coconut Oil
- Diatomaceous Earth (will cleanse your dog's intestines and also protect against parasites and worms)
I will help you with the dosages, which depend on your dog’s size.
Please take part in my prevention research program.
If you decide to give your pet B17 or follow my immune maintenance program as a cancer prevention method, I would like to hear from you and add your pet to my cancer prevention research program. I would like to follow your pet for the rest of its life to monitor how well B17 works. So far, I have not seen a case where cancer developed in a pet that was taking B17. I'm not offering any guarantees; I am just reporting what I have observed, and what has been reported to me. This prevention is very cheap; the seeds sell for about $20 a pound (approx. 750 seeds) and most pets only take 2-4 seeds a day. You can register here.
If I can get funded, one day I will pay for the products involved in this package. Until then, I can't cover this cost. I understand if you can not participate due to cost, but it is very low. Less than a dollar a day in products. If that can reduce the risk of cancer, I think it is well worth it.
Just to be clear, you can participate in my raw feeding study without buying any supplements as long as you feed your dog a raw food diet.
As always I thank you for any support you can contribute with.
I now offer phone ? or skype ? consultations for those that have issues with their pets. For a small fee that goes to support these research projects, I will share everything I have learned over the last 20 years feeding a raw food diet and helping dogs and cats with cancer.
