WEEK 11


 WEEK 11

AND ALL IS WELL!


 
Not much to report today - so I guess no news is good news.

We have the very best Christmas gift.  A happy, healthy Kodi.  11 weeks ago we really did not expect him to be here this Christmas.

The tumour is now completely invisible to the naked eye and Kodi seems well and energetic.

We continue with the treatment until the New Year when Dr Janey returns from leave and will then discuss a maintence programme for him.

A follower on Facebook asked for some photos of the food we prepare.

WEEK 10


 Progress continues to be excellent and to the naked eye there is really no visible sign of the tumour








Compare with where we started 10 weeks ago




Summer has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and with it comes the pesky flea and tick problem.

We cannot use anything chemical or toxic  on Kodi and unfortunately he is very sensitive to flea bites.

I found these remedies on Facebook which use natural products and will try out both to see if we have any success.

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

Flea & Tick Remedy

8 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz warm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix dry ingredients first then slowly add to wet as the vinegar and baking soda will react slightly. Put into spray bottle and spray pets down. Be careful not to get in pets eyes.

 
Please feel free to post if you have a natural remedy you'd like to share.

Have a lovely weekend

DAY 63

Nine weeks ago to the day we started on this journey with Kodi. He had been diagnosed with a Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his mandible - a progressive, rapid growing tumour. The only treatment available was to remove a large section of his jaw followed by radiotherapy and chemo. The longevity stats after such  a radical approach were not good. It was a route we were not prepared to travel. We had sadly come to the conclusion to keep him as comfortable as possible for as long as possible and when the time came, we would know.

Through one of those amazing coincidences in life we met Dr Janey Little who was visiting Vets in our area to inform them of her programme for treating cancer.  She examined Kodi and assured us that her treatment programme would be beneficial.




Although initially slightly sceptical - we had absolutely nothing to lose and decided to comit ourselves 100% to the programme.

Followers of this blog will know that this has not been easy.  2 hourly treatments, cooking hormone and chemical free meals and adhering to a complete detox of his body and his environment has taken a huge amount of dedication and perseverance - but we have done it gladly.

The result has been astounding.

We were not asked to put up this blog and it is not our intention to promote or advertise any person or product.  It has simply been a chart of our own experience following this programme - whatever the outcome.  It is our hope that this may help others who find themselves in a similar position. Details of the treatment and diet are included in previous posts on this blog.

All visible signs ot the tumour have gone.

We are continuing on a maintenance programme and will take guidance from Dr Janey as to how to proceed long term.

We are eternally grateful to Dr Janey Little, a dedicated and wonderful person, whose cancer research is helping so many people and animals beat this dreaded disease.

DAY 56

This week we did another trip to Elgin to the Elgin Chicken Factory Shop to up stock on Kodi's free range, hormone and chemical free chicken. Came back with a boot load full. Thank goodness for this resource in our area!

Friends of ours popped in who have not seen Kodi for a good few weeks.  They were totally amazed and proclaimed it a miracle!

Gunter managed to get a good photo of him with his mouth open. There is still just the smallest "blister" on his gum which will hopefully disappear over the next few weeks.




We continue with the 2 hourly treatment until all visible signs have gone and can then start reducing the frequency and then the dosage.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes

DAY 49



The difference in Kodi is amazing.  Not just in the reduction of the tumour but in himself.  He is back to the cheeky boy we are used to and is full of bounce and energy.

We took him to the parlour this week to be bathed and to have a trim and he is looking splendid.
We took our own natural herbal aloe vera shampoo and did not have him dipped.

Below is a brief summary of photo's taken over the last 7 weeks. A picture tells a thousand words. I think you will agree it is amazing.

AND TO TODAY!




It is becoming more difficult to take photos of the actual site of the origin of the tumour as his lips are now back in their normal position and it has almost disappeared completely.

We are all so thrilled with the continuing progress.

Have a lovely weekend and happy blogging.

DAY 42

Well I have to say it.  Any initial scepticism about the effectiveness of this treatment on my part has been completely obliterated! And never have I been so happy to admit to being wrong.

The results are truly miraculous.

6 weeks ago we had prepared ourselves for the worst.

Kodi's tumour was growing daily and was about to over take his whole jaw and his teeth. An operation was not possible -other than to remove his whole lower jaw and we were not prepared to go the chemo and radiotherapy route having seen what this has done to many of our human family and friends.  He would then be unable to eat.  And we would  have to face the inevitable.
Below is a short video taken of Kodi this morning.



In six weeks we have gone from :-

To:-

A truly remarkable achievement.

After disucssion with Dr Janey we are now reducing to 10 drops of MMS to 50 drops of activator twice a day.  Once the tumour has completely disappeared we will then take it down to 6 drops of MMS to 30 drops of activator twice a day.  We will keep on on this maintenance course for a period of time and of course stick to his chemical and hormone free diet.

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr Janey Little.  Our meeting was such a happy coincidence and we will always be grateful.
