Bumps</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Dogs Naturally
Magazine</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>June 14,
2013</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>CAUSES</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Once
present, lipomas are difficult to treat so prevention is the best approach.
In my experience, key contributors to lipomas
include:</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Poor
Diet</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Drugs
and
Chemicals</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Environment</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>TREATMENT</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>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.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>About
