It’s been awhile since I wrote about this topic, This website contains the story of how I consulted with holistic doctors and natural remedies to keep my basset hound Buford’s life in the best state possible when he was diagnosed with cancer. Buford had been with me though my first divorce and second marriage. He was by my side no matter what, and I have never had a dog quite like him, nor, probably, will I ever.
Cancer, however, is another story, it has since become a part of my life. Not just did I lose my beloved Dog Buford, (not a day goes by that I do not think of my boy Buford), but my mother, grandmother, and grandfather to Cancer. If you want to also count my mother-in-law and now my husband is fighting it.
I have to say, that I am not a medical doctor, nor am I a medical professional, so when I received so many messages here about people’s dogs and their willingness to do anything to help them pet it broke my heart. Legally I can’t advise anyone what to do and a lot of messages I could not answer.
There is VET in Canada who took parts of my protocol and uses it in his practice to help dogs. I am happy for that, and I think you can find the videos on YouTube. Never once did I write about Buford to make money or sell the secret’s, it’s all free what is on this site and I am just glad that it prolonged his quality of life.
I get asked a lot about the Mistletoe. I will write what I know and what I learned, but again, I’m not a medical doctor and I am not giving anyone any advice. Back in the 1990’s we had forums on the web. The web certainly wasn’t like it was now. In those forums, ladies talked about breast cancer. I followed the boards for a good 20,000 posts. At the time, they were talking about ordering injectable Mistletoe from a small holistic pharmaceutical company in Germany. I was reading stories how they were injecting this toxic plant into their boobs. I thought it was crazy, after all, when I think of Mistletoe , I thought of poison. A short time after that, is when the injectable mistletoe was banned. I am not sure if the FDA banned imports of all injectables, or what agency did what, but the forums talked of these problems and soon after that, the company who was selling the substances were untraceable.
On one hand, I thought these ladies in the forums were going crazy. To think that someone would try injecting some sort of toxin from another country into their boob themselves, seems highly irrational. Then I thought, was this simply out of desperation to find a cure? Until I had followed the posts where they claimed it did work, and did eradicate the tumors. Their stories claimed when injected into the mass cell tumor the tumor disappeared. The Forums are long gone, but since then trials have appeared online to conclude what happened when it was used. Unfortunately, in America, this is not part of cancer treatment like it currently is in Europe. So the question is, does it work? Well, in my opinion, if it did they could get rid of big Pharma. And since here in America Big Pharma rules the world, that’s not going to happen. As for Buford, nothing cured his cancer. His protocol just allowed him to live a happy longer life with the cancer that remained inside him.
Here is what our government has to say…I found this information on http://www.cancer.gov and I’d like to share it with you, find all about Mistletoe here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/mistletoe-pdq Note: NCI’s Web site, http://www.cancer.gov, provides accurate, up-to-date, comprehensive cancer information from the U.S. government’s principal agency for cancer research. If you have questions or need additional information, we invite you to contact NCI’s LiveHelp instant messaging service at https://livehelp.cancer.gov, or call the NCI’s Contact Center 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) (toll-free from the United States).
In America, there is no known cure for Cancer that NCI is letting us know about. Living with Cancer may be the actual key here. Buford’s treatment including MIstletoe (tablets) just aided in helping stunt the growth of his tumor and enjoy living. For my basset hound to live until he was 15 in itself is a great feat.
I do currently take organic mistletoe in tincture form to lower my blood pressure. Both the tinctures that are either alcohol based or glycerin based *you put under your tongue and the pills are still able to be purchased here in the United States. My husband is fighting neck and head cancer. One of his doctors works for Johns Hopkins, and did not have anything bad to say about trying the mistletoe in addition to the surgery, and radiation. I will maybe update this post later to let you know how it goes.
The issue with the whole protocol with Buford did work by prolonging his life for years. What exactly worked? I could not tell you. Was it a combination of things? Was it one thing? Or was it the fact that the love and trust between a dog and their owner combined with all those things gave him the will to live.
