As a Holistic health professional with nearly a decade of experience, my journey has been deeply informed by the belief that healing is influenced more by lifestyle and environment than by genetics alone. This understanding has shaped my approach not only to human health but now also with the care of my beloved bluenose dog, Maya, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
The Interplay of Lifestyle and Disease
In many families, health challenges seem to echo through generations, often leading to a narrative of inherited ailments. However, the truth is that we share much more than just genes; we also share the foods we eat, the products we use, and the environments we inhabit. Cancer has touched my family history in years past, but when faced with Maya's diagnosis, I leaned into the knowledge and confidence I have gained through my years of studying natural healing.
A Natural Approach to Maya’s Diagnosis
Although I have long embraced a holistic lifestyle for myself, Maya's diagnosis marked my first deep dive into natural remedies for animals. Initially, I was presented with the options of chemotherapy or amputation. But when I expressed my desire for a more natural, holistic approach, my veterinarian opened up about the remarkable stories she had witnessed—horses with tumors dissolving and dogs achieving full remission through a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine herbal blend. I was truly mind-blown. Why hadn’t this information been offered to me sooner? When I asked, she explained that it wasn’t the standard of care. It struck me how we’ve been conditioned to associate disease with a quick fix—a pill or chemotherapy—without exploring the rich tapestry of alternatives.
Challenging the Standard of Care
If you’ve been following my journey over the past few years, you’re likely aware of my perspective on the so-called "standard of care." I often find that the most effective healing practices are those that fall outside conventional boundaries. My trust lies in ancient remedies and treatments that aren’t strictly regulated by the FDA, as they often resonate more with my holistic philosophy and understanding of the body’s innate healing capabilities.
Discovering the Power of Community and Research
Determined to treat Maya with the same holistic principles I would recommend for any human family member, I dove into research about natural healing for animals. This journey has not only expanded my knowledge but has also connected me to a community of individuals and professionals who share my commitment to natural healing within the animal world. After a few days of little to no success finding natural cancer protocols for canines, I started searching for supplements known for their healing properties. That is how I came to finally find Botanical Enlightenment’s Holistic Healing for Dogs page. The warmth and support from like-minded individuals who have navigated similar paths has been invaluable, reminding me that we are not alone in this journey.
Exploring Holistic Remedies
For Maya, my holistic treatment plan prioritizes her overall health. We’re incorporating Stasis Breaker, omega fatty acids, organic therapeutic mushrooms, and Rick Simpson oil—each component serving a unique purpose in supporting her body and fighting cancer.
Stasis Breaker: This herbal remedy is designed to target tumors by promoting circulation and detoxifying the body, helping to create an environment less conducive to tumor growth.
Omega Fatty Acids: Essential for overall health, these fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate discomfort and bolster Maya’s immune system.
Organic Therapeutic Mushrooms: Rich in immune-boosting compounds, medicinal mushrooms such as reishi and turkey tail have been shown to support immune function and may offer anti-cancer properties.
Rick Simpson Oil: Known for its therapeutic effects, this a potent form of cannabis oil, has garnered attention for its potential anti-cancer properties. Countless scientific studies have explored CBD's ability to inhibit tumor growth and promote apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. Many pet owners and holistic practitioners have reported positive outcomes using RSO in canine cancer treatment, and the growing body of research supports its use as a viable complementary therapy..
Botanical Enlightenment's Canine Cancer Bundle offers 5 incredible products in one place. Taking the guesswork out of it so we can focus more on enjoying time where it matters while feeling confident, we are supporting our four-legged friends' quality of life. After speaking with the owner about Maya and my practice, he has so graciously offered this community 25% so you too have access to natural options.
If you resonate with the idea of fostering innate healing capabilities over conventional pharmaceutical solutions, you are part of a growing community dedicated to holistic well-being.
Together, we can raise awareness and share alternatives that offer hope and true healing during the most challenging times in life. Each step we take toward natural healing not only honors our journeys but also helps others seeking alternatives for their beloved pets.
Maya’s diagnosis has deepened my commitment to holistic health and has prompted me to dive deeper, exploring the animal world of healing as well and share the wealth of knowledge I gained. As we explore natural treatments and navigate this journey together, I hope to inspire others to consider holistic approaches, whether for themselves or their furry companions. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Stay tuned as I share Maya’s story and the lessons we learn along the way.
