The vet recommends that we start her on chemotherapy this week (Elspar)- but I am wondering if I can start incorporating natural remedies alongside the chemo such as Turmeric paste, CBD oil, Vitamin C, and Olive Leaf Extract.
MAITAKE DMG FOR DOGS FREE
She has lived a very great, stress free and healthy life up until this recent diagnosis. The few weeks prior she didn't have much an appetite but we could usually always get her to eat something throughout the day. Due to the location of the tumors and the inflammation in her stomach she has completely stopped eating as of this past week. She has three tumors (2 small, 1 medium sized). Please call Marmalade & Mobile Vet at (856) 375-1314 if you’d like to schedule an appointment for your pet for alternative cancer treatment or cancer support either with or without chemotherapy.We have a beautiful seven year old Golden Retriever who is our baby who was unfortunately diagnosed with Lymphoma in her intestines.

Other than the potential for Maitake mushrooms to decrease blood sugar, I don’t typically see any side-effects from using mushrooms. A typical safe starting does in any case is around 10mg per pound. The dosage I use depends on the type of cancer and the overall health of my patient. The Solgar product utilizes both whole mushrooms and mushroom extracts.
The Vetri Science mushroom product is great for my patients like cats that don’t tolerate taking pills because of its liquid formulation. Other products that I use in my practice are Vetri Science’s Maitake-DMG Liquid™ and Solgar’s Reishi Shiitake Maitake Mushroom Extract Vegetable Capsules. This product is only available through medical professionals Their product is called Ganoderma & Shiitake and is an excellent choice for mushroom therapy. MediHerb (part of Standard Process) is one of my favorite companies because of there excellent quality control and research. Use Maitake mushrooms in these patients is still beneficial but should only be used under veterinary supervision. Note: Caution should taken if using this mushroom in a diabetic pet as it can increase insulin levels and decrease blood sugar levels.
Another interesting property of this mushroom is that it can decrease the toxicity of a common chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin. T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells are also enhanced and these cell types can directly destroy cancer cells.
This enhanced immune function comes about from activating macrophages which function to attack foreign material in the body including cancer cells. There have have be studies that have shown improved bone marrow health which is vital in natural cancer treatment. Maitake mushrooms contain B-glucans which have antibacterial and antitumor activity. Some mice studies have also shown this mushroom to be useful in cancer prevention. In Japan it is commonly used as an addition to conventional cancer treatments and studies have shown that patients receiving lentinan have longer survival times, better immune system function, and better quality of life. This mushroom is very popular in Japan and China and is considered an elixir of life. Shiitake mushrooms contain a polysaccharide known as lentinan. Mushrooms can also increase the body’s resistance to disease, enhance vitality, and improve response to everyday stress. The polysaccharides (a large carbohydrate molecule) in these mushrooms have immunostimulating and antitumor activity. Solgar’s Reishi, Shiitake, Maiake Mushroom Extract Reishi, Shiitake, and Maitake mushrooms are terrific for supporting the immune system in a dog or cat that has cancer.
