Case No: 072201 (July 22, 2001)
Specs: 30 pound dog, 12 year old dog -- mast cell tumor.
Below is the thread of correspondence between Kelly Leeman
and Alpha Omega Labs' herbalist, James Carr, on the
status of her dog's mast cell tumor (June/July, 2001):
------ LATEST RESPONSE SENT 7/22/01 @ 6:30 p.m. -0500 --------
Kelly,
Decavitations can be VERY nasty looking -- and very raw.
Drainage during this stage (because the area is loaded with
spent granulocytes and serous material) is common.
Rarely is there any pain connected with them, however,
and secondary infection is even more rare. I would still
have your vet keep an eye on him. H3O would help with
the heal over (and would QuikHeal), but either way it
will occur -- sooner than later.

I'm not sure, Kelly -- and the reason is that Tonic III was
created with a very specific purpose in mind: maximizing
cancerolytic (cancer-killing) effect. It may help increase
red blood production -- or it could have an effect that is
entirely neutral. If your dog "appears" to be fine, and
his behavior is unchanged, he will probably just fine.
Mammals, be they humans, dogs, cats, horses, etc.,
are well attuned to detecting the need to regenerate
lost blood, and unless there is something that inhibits
the marrow's ability to create red blood cells, they
body can handle a significant blood loss.
Describe your dog's current behavior. How are
his eating habits? Sleeping habits? Please
advice.

(Response: July 10th, 2001; 21:21:00 -0000):
Kelly,
The "second results" you report sound quite
normal to me. Your question seems more to
center around the final "heal over" process,
since removal of the necrotic growth is now
imminent (if it hasn't already happened
by the time you get this)... Our users make
use of two products to quicken the process
and minimize scar tissue: (1) QuikHeal
(usually "Green") which is ozonated olive oil,
which involves a technique and technology now
widely used in Russia, Germany, and (hard
to believe) even socialist Cuba (Havana has
a sizeable ozone therapy clinic, which
utilizes ozone, among other things, on a variety
of patients with burns, lesions, lacerations,
and small wounds).
The other is H3O which uses a different method
to keep the area free of microbial growth and
helps quicken the healing process.
But either way ... even if you did NOT use either
of these products, you are well on the way to
getting rid of this growth and getting the area
healed over. Anything adjunctive which you use
to aid the process at this point is just that:
a helper and expeditor.

I wouldn't use saline solution. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 - 3%)
would be a better choice.

As long as pain management issues are not present, you can
apply the salve on the other side now.

Kelly ...
Again... it's doing what it's supposed to.
I grant you: the decavitation is going to look NASTY and raw.
But give it a week to 10 days and your dog will be in good shape.

This is usually the case. The mass itself is dead.
The "rupture" is inevitable, but by the time you get to the "heal over"
stage, there is no capillary damage, although in some cases you
end up with a little scar tissue. In most cases, even this goes
away in a matter of a few months.

Yes. About two to three weeks.

Kelly ... there is nothing you have descrbed that does not sound
typical. It is strange to you only because you're not familiar with
escharotic preparations and their action -- but everything you
describe is as it should be.

There are no absolutes in this work, and although the scan
normally means you've "got it," there may always be deeper
residual cancer growth you missed. It is never a clear-up
call -- even for dermatologists or vets who use Cansema.
A good measure is the size of the forming scab relative
to how big you thought the cancer was. What you might
do is apply once more over the area for good measure --
and then let this area "cycle out." That is, let it go
through the stages of drying up, coming out, decavitation,
and heal over -- just like you see on the site. After that,
when it has healed over (will take about 2 weeks), you
can apply again to see if you get any reaction.
At the same time, you should still be using the internal
version (Caps or Tonic III) because from what I can gather,
we are not sure if this target growth was primary or
secondary (i.e. isolated... or was it the result of
metastasis from another site?)

The Tonic uses different mechanisms of action than the Salve does.
As you may know, the Tonic III can be used either internally or
externally. We usually recommend it for internal use -- it is messy
and cumbersome when used externally. Under its action, the
tumor slowly reduces in size ... until it is gone, or the remnant
is benign. It acts more slowly and is not as immediately
aggressive as Cansema Salve is. If time is not pressing, you
can always start with the Tonic -- and if it is not working fast
enough for your purposes, switch to the salve.

Thank you for the information.
What type of responses will the exterior site of the tumor have using
the Tonic alone?

There are no contraindications, so you can continue with
the chemo drug if you want to. The decision is yours --
although many users, when they see the results that
the Tonic III is providing, go without the chemo.
Tonic III is a targeted killer of cancer cells.
Chemo drugs are indiscriminant killers, period.

If the growth is small, as you indicate, and it is close enough
to the dermal layers for the salve to grab it, then, yes, apply
it at once. It will only mildly irritate healthy tissue, so either
way, you aren't taking any real risks here.

We've seen amazing things on the vet side.
Following the protocols for Tonic III and the Salve.
Yes, your dog is older.... but we've pulled through
much older. Be hopeful -- and keep me posted.

Thank you, I have placed my order, I think. I didn't get an email
confirmation though.
Any ideas how quickly the tumor should respond?
