My seven-year-old Black Labrador Retriever was just diagnosed with bone cancer (Osteosarcoma). A tumor was found on his right front leg, just above the rist. The radiograph did not show any signs of the cancer spreading to the lungs. However, it is common for the early stages of Osteosarcoma not to show up on radiographs.

I noticed in the press release “Wormwood is the Basis for a Cancer-fighting Pill” that limited tests have been done in this area. In the release, Lai stated that a dog with bone cancer so severe it couldn't walk made a complete recovery in five days after receiving the treatment of wormwood.

If anyone has any more information on this study I would appreciate it. My intent is confirm the findings of the study and to determine the recommended dosage for my 100 lbs dog.

Felix,

I hope that the research will prove Lai's work to be the promise it might be, but we simply don't have enough feedback yet to know if it is. I have my fingers on the pulse, but no answers. This said, my own dog had this same diagnosis some years ago and I lost her. I have never ceased looking for something that might help others going through the same sad experience.

Best wishes,

Some of the old-time homeopaths recommended the "white Stone" (calcium silico-fluoride), known as the remedy "Lapis alba", in some of these types of cases; the form would be triturate tablets, attenuation the 6x; Hughes (1901) recounts the ameliorative (if not actually curative) results of pure quartz ("Silica") in such cancerous conditions, in triturate tablets of the 2x (now very hard to obtain) and 3x (easy to get) attenuations.

In such circumstances, I personally would try anything, and what is easier than a homeopathic remedy. There are so many sources that one is sure to find what one is looking for . . .

Thanks for posting this.

You should be able to tell whether or not he is in distress. I know you are probably willing to try anything, but I would get some good nutritional advice from a vet, do some internal cleansing, and perhaps some artemisia annua and an internal tonic. It's really too hard to know without having the expert opinion of a veterinarian . . . and there are lots of holistic vets out there.

I have tried artemisinin for our dog who has osteosarcoma. It temporarily shrank the tumors, but then they started to grow again. Basically as it stands right now, osteosarcoma[high grade] is a death sentence. The present therapies are dead ends, literally. jb

anyone out there that has used compound x for external tumors in their dog. we applied it two days in a row to a large external tumor on her leg and for the past week it is now an open, raw wound. I thought that it would have scabbed over by now, we have been putting vaseline on it daily. any suggestion?

Joel,

Are you using artemisinin or Artemisia annua? I haven't seen results comparable to those reported in the study, but once in a while, someone has something hopeful to report on osteosarcomas. I agree, however, that such optimism is rare.

With the Compound X, the treatment site has to be allowed to dry out. Then, the eschar forms and detaches. At this point, some people use Vaseline, but I never use any petroleum-based products.

I use artemisinin from Holley Pharmaceutical as recommended by Dr. Henry Lai of Univ. of Wash. Besides the compound X applied topically, we have been giving her minute amounts 2X day, hoping to find something that will have some effect on these tumors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am very open minded.

Can you contact me privately? I don't have anything special to suggest but I prefer not to post responses to very specific questions where brands and such are concerned.

For Felix,

Our dog was recently diagnosed with bone cancer and our vet recommended wormwood. I was wondering what came of your use with the herb and if you didn't use wormwood, was there a formula you found that helped the cancer?

Thanks!

Denise,

We have had some success with wormwood, but most people try it very late so it's often a case of wishing one had heard about this sooner. Most feedback I have received suggests that there was improvement, enough to warrant use of the product, but I cannot honestly say I have seen cures or even remissions, more like improvement that is significant enough to warrant our willingness to provide this.

Personally, I continue to believe that some of the results are due to the efficacy in dealing with blood parasites.
