<BODY lang=EN-US link=blue bgColor=white vLink=purple>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I want to clarify my cryptic and abrasive comment
with regard to lipomas and other lumps. The doctor didn't address what
might happen if these benign tumors are ignored. Has he seen a lump that
is the size of a robin's egg one day and the size of a base ball the next?
Has he experienced the odd mix of feelings upon encountering a guide dog in
a restaurant with a bloody tumor which could be seen and smelled? The
first dog was mine. The second belonged to another person. My
convictions are strong in this matter and I realize that this position is
unpopular; and so I chose a shorter way of expressing my discomfort with
Dr. Blake's position. To ignore a bump or a lump is easy. The most
neglectful person in the world could do that. Tumors can become cancerous
even if they start out as nothing. That's why I always ask my vet to
remove them. In one case, Dr. W advised against because of problems with
the anesthesia and the condition of my dog. So that's what I
meant. I'll go even further. By his reccomending homiopathy, aroma
therapy etc. Mr. Blake is advocating quackery not medicine. I hope
this doesn't luze friends, but I suspect it will. Bye for
now. Happy trails. Ken </FONT></DIV>

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class=MsoNormal>Lipomas And Other Canine
Lumps And Bumps<BR><BR>Dogs Naturally Magazine<BR><BR>June 14,
2013<BR><BR><BR><BR>A lipoma is a growth of fat cells contained in a thin
capsule, usually found just below the skin. Lipomas are most often found
on the torso, neck, upper legs and armpits, but they can occur almost
anywhere. Lipomas are the most common noncancerous soft tissue growth,
although other lumps and bumps may appear on your dog, especially as he
grows older.<BR><BR><BR><BR>I've been observing lipomas, lumps and bumps
on dogs for 40 years and I've made some observations I'd like to share
with you.<BR><BR><BR><BR>CAUSES<BR><BR><BR><BR>First of all, I want to
make it clear that these growths are a sign of chronic disease and not an
acute issue. Lipomas and other fatty tumors are the body's way of ridding
itself of toxins and other unwanted material but, because the body is out
of balance, it can't eliminate toxins through normal channels such as the
kidneys, liver or intestines. When the endocrine and immune systems are
not functioning at full capacity, the body does the next best thing and
tries to encapsulate any unwanted material and eliminate it through the
largest excretory organ of the body: the skin. Lipomas and other fatty
tumors are like a lump of dirt that you would sweep under the rug when you
don't know what else to do with it.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Statistics show that
1.7 million dogs in the United States are treated for lipomas every year.
This doesn't include all the other lumps and bumps that appear on dogs as
they reach middle age or older. I'm certain that close to a billion
dollars or more is spent on the treatment of these various eruptions each
year.<BR><BR><BR><BR>I don't recommend surgical removal unless the lipoma
is threatening the life of the dog. For every one of these bumps that are
removed, more will return and require further surgical removal. As a
surgeon for 25 years, I saw how removing one lump resulted in multiple
lumps appearing later on in the dog's life. This is because surgery
removes only the tip of the iceberg. Surgery will do nothing to address
the toxins causing the fatty tumor and will leave scar tissue behind and
this blocks the point of discharge the body needs to release those toxins.
Once the scar tissue is created, the toxins feeding the tumor are forced
deeper into the patient's body, causing damage to deeper organs and organ
systems.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Once present, lipomas are difficult to treat so
prevention is the best approach. In my experience, key contributors to
lipomas include:<BR><BR><BR><BR>Poor Diet<BR><BR><BR><BR>Carbohydrates,
chemical preservatives and other toxins found in processed foods all
contribute to fatty tumor growth. Water is also an important part of your
dog's diet and tap water should be avoided as the chlorine can damage your
dog's thyroid and upset his endocrine system.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Drugs and
Chemicals<BR><BR><BR><BR>The products used on dogs to control fleas,
ticks, heartworms and other worms are not only toxic to insects and
parasites, they are toxic to your dog. There are natural and effective
ways to control these internal pests without toxic residue. Vaccines and
other pharmaceutical products are also loaded with contaminants and should
be avoided whenever
necessary.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Environment<BR><BR><BR><BR>Your dog's
environment is a major source of toxins, especially if herbicides or
pesticides are used in your area. In the spring and summer, the pest
trucks are everywhere, spraying poisons to kill ants, fleas, ticks and
everything else in their path, including you and your dog. I recommend you
never use any of these products in your home or yard - ever. As for the
bugs, they're supposed to be there so, for the sake of our environment,
leave them alone. When you walk your dog in parks or areas where there is
a likelihood of herbicides and pesticides being used, wash your dog's feet
off with soap and water when you get home to prevent him from licking or
absorbing the toxins through the pads of his
paws.<BR><BR><BR><BR>TREATMENT<BR><BR><BR><BR>My choice of treatment for
fatty tumors is to first stop supplementing the toxins by avoiding those
mentioned above. Next, you must help your dog to remove any existing
toxins and aid his body in its detoxification and healing process. I
recommend a natural diet, filtered water, no drugs, chemicals, herbicides,
pesticides or vaccines on or around my patients. Treatment choices include
classical homeopathy, gemmotherapy, aromatherapy, bovine colostrum, fatty
acid supplementation and glandular therapy. All of these modalities will
complement the body's healing capacity.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Remember that
surgery is a suppressive treatment and will only drive the toxins and
disease deeper into the patient. It should be used only as a last resort
in any dog, no matter what issue you are dealing
with.<BR><BR><BR><BR>About the author <BR><BR>Dr. Stephen Blake
