Buddy’s Natural Cancer Treatment

I’ve been reading more about the tinctures Buddy is taking from my holistic vet. One of them is called Andrographis.

My mom had asked me to look into the newer cold product here in Canada called Cold F/X. When I went to the health food store the owner just happened to have a product on sale which, she said, was exactly the same thing. So I bought it and checked out the ingredients because my mom can’t take a lot of things. I was feeling a bit of a cold coming on too.

Well lo and behold there’s andrographis in it as a secondary ingredient. Fascinating. The primary ingredient is ginseng. My mom took one in the afternoon and it kept her awake all night. I took one because I wasn’t sure if I was actually getting a cold or not. Then later that evening I got the chills and I never get the chills. My mom, who is 85, keeps the heat at 73 degrees in the house, and she still wears a big sweater.  So I don’t get cold. I took 3 capsules that evening per the instructions. Took another 3 the next day 3 times throughout day, had the chills again that night, sore throat and some sinus trouble. Next day I was fine, no chills. It did make my heart beat really hard and fast for a while though. Think I’ll hold off using it too often.

Well, my Bud has been taking Andrographis 3 times a days for his lymphoma since June 2nd, 2008. Each time he gets 1/8 tsp. This is the only tincture he fusses a bit about. I’ve seen Andrographis called The King of Bitters. I usually put a bit extra sardine water on top of the fish when I give him this one. He’s pretty good with his treatments because he really likes sardines. His body,  skin and coat really appreciate all the fish oil he’s getting too. Here is another link to an interesting study on the Antioxidant action of Andrographis on lymphoma in mice.
