Although Weasel's health hasn't changed, I do have new news to provide based on this past week, which I hope can provide assistance to others.

About 4 days ago, Weasel vomited all of his dinner.  I don't take these matters lightly and thought that I may need to improve upon the treatment I'm providing him with.  I immediately gave him 1 drop of MMS - something I had decided against, which was diluted in 13 drops of water, with 1 drop of the activator.  It may have been coincidence, but shortly after he seemed fine again and ate some food I gave him.  I started looking up MMS a lot more seriously, as this may be a method of treatment that I can't walk away from.  MMS taken directly can have many negative side effects such as nausea.  I can't afford to have Weasel feel anything of the sort as he'll lose trust in his food.  There is however a method to convert MMS into what is called CDS.  CDS is taking the 'gas' vapours from the MMS and the activator, and releasing it into a bottle of water.  That solution when taken, does not have any of the side effects from taking MMS directly.  On top of that, the bad taste is removed.  I watched a YouTube video that explains how this concoction can be made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5UHdyeNCbI

I've ordered a syringe online and will test out this method in a couple of weeks.  I'm only giving Weasel a drop a day of this solution, which may be ineffective but I don't dare go up to a level that could cause issues.

In my research for treating cancer, I came across two very useful holistic remedies.  One is called European Mistletoe and the other is Curcumin.  European Mistletoe is actually used in conjunction with chemo and radiation therapy for people, as it nullifies the negative side effects.  It's also used for those who wish to take a holistic approach exclusively.  The success of using European Mistletoe for many forms of cancer is incredible!  Unfortunately for Weasel and I, it's pretty much ineffective for pancreatic cancer.  Pets with other forms of cancer such as liver cancer, can do what's called Mistletoe Therapy which involves injections 2-3 times per week.  Your holistic vet can train you in how to administer the injections so that you can do it from home, instead of driving your kitty back and forth all week which is very hard on a pet.  I highly recommend that you take the time to search in Google for 'Mistletoe Therapy' and 'cancer' to read the impressive case studies out there.  Also, please note that although Mistletoe is deadly to cats when eaten, the extract that is injected into them is not and can prove to be quite beneficial.

What I have successfully been able to administer is Curcumin.  It has virtually no taste as long as you don't purchase Turmeric, which I believe is the spice version that contains Curcumin.  The capsules are rather large so I knock out a small amount on a plate that measures about 1/2" in diameter, as you don't want to give a small cat the same dosage as a full grown adult human.  I mix it with a small amount of half and half cream and add chunks of chicken from the roast I make each week.  The chicken seems to grab the milk mix.  I have a very finicky cat so I'm truly blown away that he eats it and am very thankful.  This website goes into further details on dosage amounts: http://margaret.healthblogs.org/2007/10/11/curcumin-for-cats/

Also, here's just one of many sites that talks about how effective Curcumin is in fighting cancer: http://www.naturalnews.com/037879_curcumin_cancer_cells_turmeric.html

In addition to researching these new aids in the fight against cancer, Weasel and I went by the Holistic Vet Clinic in Newmarket and saw our friend Dr. Haghighat.  Dr. Haghighat was very pleased to see Weasel's progress and informed me that he's gained 3 lbs since his last visit.  This is great news!  Dr. Haghighat was very kind and supportive, listening to my concerns and as usual, focused on the positive and how far we've come with such positive results.  It's nice to talk to someone who cares as much as you do about the wellbeing of your pet and has so many positive insights to share or remind others of.  He was also, as usual very helpful with information and with treating Weasel.  Weasel had an acupuncture treatment which harmonized him and made him very relaxed.  I took a photo of him and you can see the small needle near his back end.  Shortly after this picture was taken he stretched his front paws out to get comfortable so he felt pretty darn good which is rare at a vet's office haha.

Weasel also received vitamin B injections which stimulates the appetite, and received a holistic remedy that consisted of several different herbs mixed into one concoction.  I believe Dr. Haghighat mentioned that one of the remedies was red leaf clover which I haven't heard of yet.  We also picked up a new bottle of a mix the vet makes that helps with appetite and digestion.

Dr. Haghighat also introduced me to a new remedy which is called 'Deer Velvet'.  Essentially it's an additional immune system booster but also has many other beneficial outcomes which you can read on numerous sites.  What I was interested in reading was this statement: "Deer velvet antler has long history of use as a traditional medicine. Although there is not enough evidence that velvet antler can actually totally cure cancer, it still shows that it helps increase the survival rate of the cancer  patient. In some cases, it helps prevent the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, preventing a full-blown cancer." (http://www.velvetdeerantler.org/benefits/cancer-and-deer-velvet-antler/)

This comes in a tablet and has a slight fish scent so if your kitty enjoys fish, they'll love this.  I'm going to start by grinding up half a tablet each day and add it to a treat.  Initially I'll give it to him separately but if Weasel enjoys it, I'll add it to the other treats I'm already providing him with.

Although there is a lot to look up when treating cancer holistically, it's well worth your research.  The results of treating Weasel have been remarkable.  I'm hoping he exceeds all expectations and perhaps will one day be a documented success story that helps many others.  Also, keep in mind that although it seems like a lot of work, you eventually find your rhythm and a setup that works for both you and your kitty.  It doesn't really take up that much time for me to feed him and apply the naltrexone each day.  It's just part of my new daily routine in life.
