Topic Dog Boards / Health / "Tea cured my dogs cancer?!"
- By wheaten_mad [gb] Date 28.09.04 12:04 UTC
Did anyone read in woman's own about how Rudolph Walker's wife gave their Labrador tea that cured her cancer? She had mammary tumours and a vet had said that I would be best to have the dog PTS but the lady meditated and was told to give zara (the dog) a tea special herbal tea of:
Red clover,
Burdock
Sheep's sorrel,
African bush willow,
Slippery elm,
Echinacea,
St John's wort,
White willow,
Korean ginseng,
Vervain,
Yellow dock,
Dandelion,
Violet,
Golden seal
And Rhubarb
And to give her the tea three times a day. Within 24 hours her breathing had improved and after three days her incontinence had stopped. A week later she was running around like a puppy. After six weeks they took her back to the vets and zara's cancerous lumps had disappeared. The vet then asked them if I he could try it on another dog with cancer and when that dog had the same results the vet then informed the British Medical Association.

Vet's report
"...Zara was also drinking a lot, losing weight, and her breathing was rapid and shallow. Thos suggested other major organs were involved which was confirmed by a blood tests showing elevated liver and kidney enzymes..."
"...I believe she was only given a herbal remedy and placed on a special diet..."

What is you opinion on this?

I read it and thought it was great, a miracle but something else made me think it sounded too good to be true!!

If something sounds too good to be true

It usually is

Forget the tea, too many herbs given at once to have an effect and some of them would cancel each other out!

And I am a very strong advocate of alternative therapies!

Sheep Sorrel, Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Bark and Rhubarb Root are the main ingredients of Essiac Tea which is a well known alternative therapy for cancer.  African bush willow has been used in the anti-cancer drug CA4P and all of those in the list have anti-cancer and/or immune boosting properties. :-)

Anything is worth a go when faced with a situation like this...

My 10 year old 'charlie' was diagnosed with Lymphoma in April 2003
Money at the time was a BIG issue so therefore was faced with what shall i do for the best?
Since then Charlie has been on an anti-cancer drug 'endoxana' currently 4 a month only.
I give him Milk thistle and omega 3 fish oils....

Hes fine... happy as larry!

Im not saying he's cured but its borrowed us time :)

Well, when faced with either putting your dog to sleep, or trying something out first that may or may not work, wouldnt you give it a go. I would :D

Why are you an advocate of alternative therapies? They have been proved to work, and its not just down to the power of suggestion, as if this was the case, the vet would of been able to cure her.

Gonzo- You need a new dictionary or at least an English one to get the meaning of 'Advocate'!

Gonzo, it is with some dismay that I realise you are not reading my posts with the avidity and fervour for educational enlightenment which I naturally expect from ALL readers of this forum. :( sob!

Had you been so doing you would have seen that from time to time I drop in the odd suggestion re herbal/homeopathic remedies, flower essences, chiropractic, acupuncture and dietary manipulation which generally constitute what is commonly understood to be "alternative" as opposed to those generally prescribed by an allopath. :D

Perhaps a synonym for the word advocate, used in the context of my post, would be more easily comprehended; eg uphold, recommend, advise, argue for, champion, support etc etc etc

Hope that clarifies my point of view. :D

Well, I got it wrong, havent we all made a mistake at some point in time :rolleyes:

Also, it was just a question. Whats with people?

Totally agree with you Gonzo. :-) 

>Forget the tea, too many herbs given at once to have an effect and some of them would cancel each other out!


I agree with you too Tohme, it's too many herbs at once. I think I would use the herbs in rotation, a few at a time, rather than an all-in-one tea everyday. I don't think I'd forget it altogether though. ;-)

Can someone point me in the direction of getting hold of some of this tea? I did  some time ago read a leaflet about it as someone who has used the tea with good effect had passed it on to me. I don't know what I did with it. At the time my old girl with kidney failure was doing really well as a result of home cooked diet. Now however, things are in decline and I am approaching hard choices if things don't improve which I think they won't. So as someone else said "when you're faced with.....................

Hi Katrina,
Sorry your girl isn't so good.

These are some sites that I've come across though I've not had a thorough look at them so I don't know which is the best. These are just for the Essiac tea (usually the four basic ingredients), I think the one on the first post with more herbs in was probably specially brewed for them.

Hope things improve. :-)

Thank you Kath

I think I'll try some Essiac tea for her. Nothing to lose now.

Thanks again

Katrina
