Prostate Cancer

This is an extremely aggressive cancer which mostly occurs in older dogs. Cancer cells can spread to other areas of the body such as lymph nodes, bones and lungs. Prostate cancer can affect both castrated and uncastrated dogs. The cause is unknown, and it can remain undetected until it has advanced to the later stages.
A dog with prostate cancer appears to be in pain and loses weight. The prostate gland will be enlarged and push against his urethra (the tube which carries urine out of the body from the bladder). This makes it difficult for him to pee, and there may be blood in his urine. He may arch his back.
Although vets can offer all sorts of tests, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, few dogs with prostate cancer will survive longer than six weeks after diagnosis.

The database PubMed has over 10,000 listings of spontaneous remission from cancer – so hope is justified. Complementary cancer therapies do exist, and include CV247, Transfer Factor, Essiac Tea, flaxseed oil and cottage cheese, and a number of energy therapies such as Emotional Freedom Technique.
There is some evidence to say that Geopathic stress in the home might be involved with cancer, and other factors such as micro parasites, an acid/alkaline imbalance, and CoQ10 deficiency could be involved.
Homeopathy is another mode of healing. Homeopathic vets believe that every living being has the ability to heal and that illness only occurs when the ability to self-heal is somehow repressed. The goal of homeopathy is to improve the overall health of the body and aid in the body's own ability to heal. An option, therefore, is to ask your vet to refer you to a homeopathic vet.
