Essiac Tea for Dogs (4 – 4oz packages)

I reached out to Janie from your old dog when Jax was diagnosed with lymphoma and she put together this protocol for him and essiac tea was one of the supplements she recommended. I honestly believe this stuff is the “magic” that keeps Jax cancer from spreading. He’s not supposed to be here. He did no western treatment for they gave him 1-2 months to live. He’s thriving remarkably at almost 10 months and still growing strong. There’s something to holistic care he’s living proof and i thank everything to Janie and her knowledge.

I have been giving my 9 year old German Shepherd Essiac Tea everyday since she was diagnosed with Adeno carcinoma of the nose in early October 2019. Her prognosis at that time was weeks to possibly a few months. Since she was not having severe breathing problems and did not seem to be in pain, we opted to take a wait and see approach. I decided to start her on Essiac Tea along with some other Chinese remedies and vitamins and she is still with us. She has had minimal nose bleeds, no reverse sneezing and no difficulty breathing since starting this regime. Not sure if it’s helping, but doesn’t seem to be hurting.

Since last December, my little dog Pedro and I have been on quite a rollercoaster ride with his health. Seemingly more lethargic than usual—mostly I thought because he protests the winter weather, but when he wasn’t eating and started losing weight I became worried. After a trip to our vet, his lab results confirmed elevated liver enzymes with a strong recommendation to get an ultrasound.

The ultrasound on 1/7/2020 showed pretty much the worst, nodules on his enlarged liver and the report “indicated significant disease with multiple sonographic abnormalities including his Liver, Kidneys, Spleen, Gallbladder, GI Tract, Pancreas, Bladder.” as the ultrasound vet spoke in a quiet even tone as I fought back tears. Although no official diagnosis (I didn’t want to put him through the trauma of a biopsy) no wonder my little Petey had a wicked upset tummy and just wanted to lay down.

We were prescribed Sucralfate (basically this gel that acts like a bandaid to his ulcers) and Omeprazole (over the counter antacid heartburn meds) with instructions to crush and mix these meds with water to give a “slurry” via syringe–lovely.

Pedro, using what little strength he had left— used it to fight like hell to resist these meds. Thrashing, whining, growling, trying to bite (although he has few teeth). Eventually he looked at me with the saddest eyes of defeat, trusting me that I was doing the best for him. After the medication routine, he still seemed miserable and still didn’t want to eat.

The next day we were back to our regular vet with the ultrasound update and prescribed antibiotics and an appetite stimulant. Great- now 4 meds for him to fight against.

This wasn’t fair and felt like I was torturing Pedro trying to balance 4 meds and he still wasn’t eating well, the little strength he had left he was using to fight the liquid meds. I was sure that the meds were making him even sicker.

After another day of this we were back to the vet because Pedro seemed weaker and was now constipated on top of it all. I explained and advocated how I believed the meds were making him sicker with the Vet’s response “these meds wouldn’t make anything worse” while they administered IV fluids to Pedro and sent us off with CBD oil, urgent care canned food and told us to get miralax for his constipation.

I was DONE, that night I stopped giving Pedro any meds and tried the CBD oil, got him to eat the urgent care food while having a few arguments with my fiance about my decision.

The next morning, my fiance erratically gave Pedro the ulcer medication because she thought it would help….(still upset about that) Pedro ate breakfast and then as we were coming back inside, projectile vomited (a first in 14 years for him) and once inside had an abrupt diarreia accident all over one of the dog beds partially digested food. (gross)

My fiance scheduled a hospice vet who did a home visit later that day who validated me when I explained that I took Pedro off his meds. She agreed with me while giving me a small supply of an anti-nausea medication? She also gave Pedro a prognosis of 4 weeks-WHAT? I didn’t respond because I was in shock, I did not want to believe her and I was being polite since she was in my house. But, WHAT? 4 weeks? —That was 4 weeks ago as I write this.

As soon as the hospice vet left my house, I started researching holistic health and at home remedies for dogs. I stumbled upon www. yourolddog.com and reached out for help.

I am so very grateful I did! Janie is wonderful and has coached me for about 4 few weeks now regarding Pedro’s health. As a result of following her recommendations, Pedro has been doing MUCH BETTER! Essiac tea has given Pedro a much better quality of life and Janie’s guidance brought my little dog back to life!

Janie has provided me with thorough instructions, regarding supplements to purchase and recipes to cook from her cookbook. Pedro also NEVER fights me when syringing his supplements! She also highly recommended Essiac tea. I had no idea what it was and thought I could get it at Whole Foods, oops you learn something new everyday. I ordered it directly from Janie and within a few days the huge ulcer on Pedro’s lip went down! Pedro has been recovering and I am so very grateful for Essiac Tea and http://www.yourolddog.com!

I am certainly not a dog but did myself have cancer. They wanted to do chemo and radiation and I refused it and returned home and ordered an elixir of essiac. I have been cancer free for 8 yrs.
