If you are responsible for a dog who has been diagnosed with cancer then we would strongly recommend ‘Cancer in Animals: What Is To Be Cured?’ by Dr. Sue E. Armstrong. After graduating from Cambridge, Dr. Armstrong developed an interest in holistic and integrative veterinary medicine. Her book covers more than three decades of experience caring for veterinary cancer patients, especially those who aren’t healthy enough to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy or whose human companions have chosen a different route. Over the course of her career she has created treatment protocols that blend homeopathy with conventional medicine, nutritional support, and supplements. Although Dr. Armstrong’s book is really aimed at her professional colleagues it contains a great deal of invaluable advice and information. As she believes in an integrative approach the book covers all types of treatment and is by no means out of date, even though it was published in 2016. This is what she has to say about the use of homeopathy:
“In veterinary medicine, the evidence base for the use of homeopathy in clinical cancer cases is currently largely restricted to individual cured-case reports. However, there is a sizeable evidence base that shows that some homeopathic drugs have proven biological action in animals and humans ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’. The cured cases and the biological action studies are both important because they confirm that considering homeopathy is a treatment option cannot be discarded.”
At Honey’s we feed a number of dogs with cancer and our Healthcare Team is available to offer support and advice. The service is free of charge and available to anyone – there is no need to even pretend you are interested in becoming a customer.
