Dogs Detecting Cancer - Page 1

I thought I'd share a story about an acquaintance of mine. I noticed when I saw her the other day, she had a fresh sore or scab on her chest area. I made a comment that it looked uncomfortable and angry. She then said, she'd been to the dermatologist and had some skin or spot removed from her chest earlier that day. It was sent to biopsy, and found out later, it came back cancerous.

She has since then, told me, it was her pet pug dog that got her thinking, to visit the Dr. and have it checked out. Turns out, her dog would keep licking and licking away at this same spot on her chest when she held him in her arms. As a child, she had had a bearded collie who kept licking at her knee, and it was discovered she had some type of cancer then, and also had it successfully removed. (I forget what kind.)

Any way, having had that experience, she thought, since her pug was doing the same, and kept licking away at the spot, she'd do the prudent thing and have it checked. She is so glad she did! And now, since she is a bit paranoid, she says she picks up her pug and holds him to her chest, and he will start to paw and squirm, just wanting to be put down! She laughs and says, "Good!—Cancer's gone!" Her doctor even said, he'd like to borrow that dog!

Please share your story, if you have one.

This dog found cancer in my mom's leg. Kept nosing around her calf area and stuck his nose on her jeans. She doesn't like dogs and he's not super friendly with outsiders so it wasn't an affection-seeking thing. I asked what he was so interested in and she said she had a sore. I told her I didn't think it was a sore and to go to the dermatologist and she did. Squamous cell carcinoma.

 

Same dog woke up his diabetic owner when his blood sugar got low from the time he was about 4 months old. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=2053842-dallas-vom-eisenherz

There have been several training programs at Universities and Hospitals ( Duke University ) which have shown dogs can be trained to do smell tests for various cancers with 90% accuracy. if you do the same sample with three or more different dogs trained the same you have a 99% accurate test. Better than any test available to date for cancer. Follow that with imaging and biopsy and a lot of cancers can be found very early using these specially trained sniffer dogs. The problem is how do the doctors and hospitals make money?? Doctors and hospitals want patents and money deals so they can get rich from cancer and other diseases. Having a dog find a cancer for $100 or less just terrifies the doctors and hospitals. Therefore after it was shown that dogs could find cancers quite accurately the doctors and hospitals are now developing machines that will do the same job for $20,000 dollars per sample and for which they can patent the machine and the process. Docs gotta pay for the new Mercedes and a vacation house in Costa Rica. Cancer sniffer and disease sniffer dogs are proven assets for disease and cancer detection but the medical industrial complex will not accept them because these dogs would disrupt the gravy train for the docs and hospitals. This greed has been seen before when after 9/11 companies marketed refrigerator sized vacuum cleaner explosive sniffer machines costing $500 K dollars to airports to do a job that dogs did faster and cheaper. There is no tragic event in human life that some greedy bastard won't exploit to make money .... from cancer to 9/11.

Have you heard or have seen on YouTube or googled
" Rick Simpson "


Has anyone used cannabis oil treating any k9 illness , disease ?

Below a story about a scent dog that was more reliable and sensitive to sugar and insulin levels in his human than anything available ... doctors, labs, equipment makers and hospitals hate this fact.  A very common story type in which pets and service dogs use their abilities to help their humans overcome disease or injury.  A great story about a dog doing some real work that matters using his nose, training, and his intelligence.

A system of trained scent dogs specializing in cancer detection modeled on the Guide dog programs should be set up and dogs trained to detect cancer cells in tissues, blood, urine, and living human beings. The dogs would be certified and multiple dogs and operators would be used to eliminate false positives. The problem is the doctors, hospitals, and labs don't want such a system because it would not pay them as well as current testing options and then there is the fact that each person with cancer that is run through the chute ( like a cow ) makes doctors, hospitals and labs richer. Whether the patient lives or dies every cancer patient is a revenue source. The adoption or rejection rate for new test procedures and treatments is related directly to the profit generated for doctors, hospitals and labs. YOU might want to keep that in mind when you go to the Veterinarian as they use the same exact model as human medicine.

Lanhau,

This is the oddest thing because of another coincidence, that it is just this morning I noticed a new TV show called, Weediquette, and wouldn't you know it, but I happened upon their very first episode where they are talking about using THC and another component of cannibis oil, for treatment of leukemia and a brain tumor in two different children. The only reason I started to watch this show was because of your post. It is indeed a small world! They happened to mention how it was the guy you mentioned—Rick Simpson who was the first to make and use the concentrated THC oil. For others who are curious, check this out:

Bubba, 

Thank you for your concern. I consider myself, duly warned.
