Hemangiopericytoma in Dogs

I have a friend who has an 8 year old english setter who recently had a tumor removed from his hind leg. The vet determined it was a Hemangiopericytoma tumor. From what I gather, this isn't a spreading type cancer, but recurrence in the same spot is very likely. The vet advised that if it grows back, he will have to see a specialist for removal as it will probably be more embedded in the muscle tissue. At that point, depending on how far it's imbedded, the leg might possibly have to be amputated. My friend was asking me about holistic modalities that might keep the tumor from coming back. We spoke about switching his food to something low in carbs, CBD oil, and liposomal vitamin c. I didn't mention a raw diet, but it might be something that they are open to trying. Can our pet experts here perhaps offer any advice? They are heartbroken over this and he is such a sweet dog. He lives to hunt birds and if anything can be done to possibly save his leg, I'm sure my friend would greatly appreciate the advice. Thank you.
 
I don't know if I can help. Sometimes my friends ask me for various healing practices. It is possible to put yourself in a meditative state in which your intention seems to be stronger than it is in your daily life. Love itself also heals. As for meditation, I can describe it in more detail. I have been doing this for a long time, but I am a practitioner in this respect. However, I think I could add a theory.
 
Good nutrition would be a big help for your friend's dog Chrissy and a properly balanced raw diet would be a good first step. Along with the CBD oil, they could try Essiac tea, Imyunity ( a mushroom extract, very expensive but proven in University studies) and colloidal silver.

Should the tumor on his leg return, a product called Black Salve or Cansema could be an option. I used this on my cat a few years ago in a similar situation and managed to save his leg. To be clear, his tumor was not a cancer (turned out to be papilloma virus), but this was his only option besides amputation. It took multiple treatments, as it kept reappearing, but eventually we succeeded.

I am not a vet, but hope this can help.

You can share with them this short video. If the cancer is gone for now, then using the tips mentioned in the video may assist with preventing the tumor from reappearing. The key is indeed prevent inflammation, and it means good balanced diet and low amount of carbs.


But the devil is in the details. I suggest you also watching the following interview with Dr. Merkola, Dr. Becker and Rodney Habib, where they talk about a documentary they made about dogs and cancer. Don't know if you can find it somewhere, like on Netflix. And you can find it on this site.

In the interview they mention that in some cases, and even of carbs were limited, and the dog was eating super natural and organic food, the cancer still continued growing because of high protein diet, and cancer cells instead of glucose converted glutothione and used it. So there should be an additional element of restrictive eating and fasting.


Bottom line, it seems that if the cancer is gone, and the doggie wasn't on a natural diet until now, it's possible that changes to the diet already will be enough to prevent the recurrence of cancer.

But it's also possible that beside the change to the natural diet and lowering of carbs, there will be a need of maintaining the strategy of "restrictive eating".
 
Thank you all for your responses and advice on this. I've shared with my friend everyone's input. I did watch that Mercola interview where Dr. Becker spoke about the documentary with Rodney Habib. It seems you have to purchase the documentary and it's $200. I sent them the link. It makes sense about excess protein turning to glucose and feeding the cancer, because that always stalled ketosis for me when doing the diet.

I followed Dr. Becker on FB, as I hold her in high esteem. There was a post a few days ago with a link about vitamin c for pets with cancer, but the link requires a membership which was disappointing. Apparently she has a new book out, Forever Dog. I'm going to purchase that and go through it. The table of contents didn't specifically state anything pertaining to cancer, but more so the foundations for a healthy lifestyle. My own dog is a bit overweight, so it will be a beneficial read for me anyway.
 
If they have a vet who is willing to administer intravenous Vitamin C, that would be great. But for oral doses, the protocol mimics human use. Give the Vitamin C up to bowel tolerance. The link I noted above (Vitamin C for Pets) puts it this way: You will know if your pet is getting too much vitamin C if he has loose stools. If diarrhea develops, cut back the amount you give.

So, for a pet with cancer, the amount might be fairly high. It's worth a try.

Is it a membership, or perhaps only an e-mail? Usually you just need to leave the email, and then you get updates there, and that's it.
 
DCA works well for dogs if you adequately supplement them with vitamin B.

If that doesn’t work CsCl can work wonders - but you NEED to give them 24x7 KCl on-demand or else they will die horribly.

My little girl survived a splenic hermangiosarcoma for 4 years alternating between DCA and CsCl.

She was supposed to be dead within 3 months of diagnosis…

Eventually, it wore her down, but she was able to enjoy (dog) years of snuggles and tummy-rubs that she would not have otherwise been able to experience.

Just a note that using Calcium chloride or Potassium chloride without indications or precise instructions from the vet is indeed very dangerous and in the described case isn't really necessary. Or so it seems. Same goes to dichloroacetate, as one of its side effects is nerve damage.

So it is really awesome that it was helpful in your case, but it is important to note that it is indeed always best to consult with a vet (natural or otherwise) first. Or at least do research and make a decision if it is safe enough or necessary in any particular case.
