I too wish Hideyo would lean on us more. She's going through a waking nightmare with her fur kids. Her energy and resources are being stretched to the breaking point. I don't know how you do it Hideyo. You're one strong, determined, loving lady. You are appreciated and you are cared about. Prayers to you and all those you care for.

I've always used it at the fist sign of arthritis and it really helps relieve symptoms of inflammation. Just adding my testimony!

From all I've researched, fish oil is better for cats. I use wild salmon oil.

Check the omegas % listed on the cod liver oil. I can go and check the salmon and flax oil omegas for you if you like to compare them.

Yes --- love, hugs and white light to Hideyo. Don't you just wish sometimes that we could all meet in the same room and encourage each other? This forum is that way in a lot of ways. I've always been a terribly independent cuss - but I have come to love and depend on all of you. Going to check into the flaxseed oil for all of us and me too.

Re: OT: cancer treatment
Depends upon size/weight (NCI). Here is one vet's opinion (dog dosing last paragraph): http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/anutmed.htm#flax -- Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/flaxoil.htmfor improving the health of dogs, cats, and other pets. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are reponsible for basic cellular health in all body tissues and are fundamentally important for all animals. Researchers now consider EFAs to be as vital to our health and our pets' health as vitamins and minerals. A dog or cat's immune system functions the same as humans. EFAs play a major role in the maintenance of healthy coat and skin for cats, dogs, and horses. Without essential fatty acids in our diets, cells can not be formed or function efficiently. Like humans, animals also use EFAs to produce hormone-like substances called eicosanoids, which are involved in many important biological functions in the body. Essential fatty acids are the building blocks for prostaglandins which work to regulate hormones, immune and nervous systems plus cardiovascular function. This is why these fatty acids are called essential fatty acids (EFAs). A groundswell of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to recommend to their clients that they supplement their animals diet with a daily dose of fish oil http://powerbod.com/portal-fishoil.htmor flaxseed oil, http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/a/852url=flax_oil_page.htmlpoured right over the food. The vets are finding remarkable results in clearing up skin conditions, relieving arthritic and inflammatory pain, as well as improved over all pet health. Mr. Paul Stitt, while addressing a scientific conference in North Dakota reported that flax increased bone strength as well as improved the silkiness and sheen of animals fur. When the diets of horses were fortified with flax, within three weeks their coats developed a beautiful sheen, and dandruff was greatly diminished. Within 9 months cracked hooves were completely healed. When a pregnant mare was fed flax, her offspring were larger, and grew faster than when previous to being fed flax. (more on flaxoil for horseshttp://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/horse.htm#flax) Further research indicates that horses fed flax and injected with the deadly organism Escherichia coli were better protected than those not fed flax, suggesting enhanced immunity in these animals. Select Alaskan sled dog mushers are fortifying their dogs diets with flax oil as it serves as a source of valuable energy, keeps less desirable saturated fats mobile in the blood stream, increases oxygen uptake to the cell, decreases recovery time from strenuous exercise, and prevents and heals worn and chaffed paws. Numerous studies conducted on animals and humans show that flax has powerful anti-tumor properties and may reduce tumor size by 50%. Dr. Broadhurst explains in a recent issue of Nutrition Science News that, because dogs have long coats and an excellent ability to burn fat for energy, they need five to 10 times as much oil as humans to achieve measurable clinical improvement. Thus, she recommends the following regimen: Weeks one through six: one to six tablespoons daily, depending on weight. (Use one to two tablespoons for dogs less than 20 pounds; use two to four tablespoons for dogs 20 to 50 pounds; four to six tablespoons for dogs over 50 pounds.) After six weeks or once improvement is noted, reduce dosage to one-third to one-half. *Link to Dr. Broadhurst: http://www.kensingtonbooks.com/kensington/catalog.cfm?dest=dirlinkid=1552linkon=subsection (half way down page)* Articles/information Dr. Broadhurst writes can be seen at: www.newhope.com/nsn under Nutrition Science News and Health and Nutrition Breakthroughs, www.interweave.com under Herbs for Health, and at www.RespirActin.com.
