Cansema, both the topical salve version and the internal varieties, are based on a branch of herbal medicine called "escharotics." From its earliest days of use in the 19th century, experienced practitioners have known that its uses extended to animals and not just humans. Harry Hoxsey claimed that in the 1920's, when his grandfather gave him the basic formulary knowledge, that its properties were discovered when sick horses were observed chewing on select herbs in the field... suggesting that they instinctly knew which herbs to choose to ensure their own recovery.
Whether there's any truth to this story, it at least makes clear that early users themselves knew its benefit to animals. So, it is no surprise that we frequently get comments from our customers about its benefits in treating pets, livestock, horses, and other animals which regularly present challenges to the veterinary community. Below, we have reprinted some of their comments.

[Editor's Note: This testimonial came with a pictorial history -- so the entire testimonial letter, along with both thumbnail and enlarged photos, has its own page. Below, we have taken excerpts from the letter involving the use of Alpha Omega products as used in this case. However, if you are interested in "Elmo's" recovery, we really do recommend that you read the entire text.]


When Elmo, our 14 year old cat, was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer on his face our vets suggested black salve. The type they sold was $300.00 They are very kind and said if I can find it somewhere else to do so. Your site with the pictures of other pet owners was very helpful. I gave me confidence that if Cansema helped other animals it would work on Elmo too. I feel it is my obligation to share Elmo's story and subsequent victory with others.
The Cansema was applied topically in December and the cancer within 10 days decavitated and came out. The picture attached shows the cancer next to a dime. I thought all was well.
In June of this year the cancer returned or more likely we never really got to the root of it. I applied the Cansema topically 2 more times. Each time more cancer was removed in different areas on his face. We did not realize there was more than one tumor. The last decavitation was spreading down his nose and across his face yet still when this huge escar came off the main tumor was still bloody and red beneath. We knew even though the tumor was still intact it was severely reduced in depth simply because when Elmo touched it the bleeding could be easily stopped. Conversely before the Cansema was applied topically the tumor bled profusely. One time it necessitated going through a bag of cotton balls and handfuls of paper towels even a dish rag was soaked in blood. We wondered if Elmo could bleed to death from a skin cancer.
We decided after this last application that we would wait and receive the capsules you recommended and watch it closely and allow Elmo's foot to heal from the application of the pain patches. Each time before we applied the Cansema salve our vets put a duragesic patch on his leg.The pain patch is taped on after he was shaved. I waited 24 hours to apply the salve giving the pain patch an opportunity to release pain meds in Elmo's system. We also supported him with Noni Juice, Liquid Minerals and Colostrum and a patented product that releases oxygen from his body's water called Oxygen Elements www.oxygendrops.com Clinical studies of the Oxygen Elements showed patients who had chemotherapy and radiation didn't get nauseous and lose weight while using this product. These products aided Elmo to keep his appetite and kept his weight at a good level. They allowed the immune system to be strong and allow the herbs in the Cansema capsules to go to work ...
We gave Elmo 1/3 capsule of the Cansema in his food and quickly worked up to 1/3 capsule twice a day. As you can see from this picture, taken August 27, Elmo's cancer is gone. This happened differently then the decavitation. The tumor got drier and smaller and receded and fell off. There was no decavitation, no hole as when the salve was applied.
I welcome you using this information to help other pet owners. I without reservation recommend the use of Cansema topically and internally. Make sure you have a vet who will work with you to aid in pain relief. It may also necessitate a tranquilizer. We gave Elmo one tranquilizer about 10 hours before application on the second application simply because if he even brushed the Elizabethan Collar with his tumor he would knock off the ointment and start it bleeding. The tranquilizer allowed us the 24 hours that were crucial to get the Cansema applied topically and to start the isolation of the cancer and beginning of the decavitation process. I can't stress enough the Cansema salve is painful and you must work with a vet. Our vets would apply the pain patch and I would apply the Cansema as I said 24 hours later at home.
You may use my name and e-mail and I will be glad to talk to others and give them the benefit of my experience ...
Thank You from Elmo and me.
