Why Do More and More
Pets Get Cancer?
Cancer in our pets was a minimal concern until the late 1970s
or 1980s. Today it may develop in 1 out of every 3 dogs. Our
domestic canine companions are the most cancer-ridden
creatures on the face of the Earth. Another alarming statistic that
appears to have a bearing on this number is that our canines have
also been deemed as the most toxic animals in America. Why is
this statistic so important?
A common misconception thought by most is that cancer is
genetic. The latest research shows that the genetic factor is only
about 5 percent. The remaining balance of 95 percent is due to
current environmental and congenital issues.
Now, when I speak of environmental issues in this context, I‘m
not only referring to our physical location but also to the environment
we create in our everyday life. This includes our household
cleaners and other chemicals we use in our homes. We must
now factor in the external and internal toxins that our pets are
exposed to.
We protect our pets from lawns treated with chemicals, but
what about the over spray on the street or sidewalk? What about
spraying all those cracks and crevices to kill the weeds? What
about the spraying in the atmosphere such as geoengineering,
mosquito control and who knows what else that settles down to
the ground that our pets are exposed to as well?
If that isn’t bad enough, we have been indoctrinated into visiting
the animal hospital on a scheduled plan for multiple vaccines,
preventative toxic drugs and foods. As the business of medicine has
changed, we are given more and more demands for regular visits.
In the past when we fed our own food to pets, did minimal
vaccines, had no preventative drugs and respected our pets for
what they were, our companion canines averaged a cancer-free
life with some that lived to be well over 20 years old. Treating
our lawns was minimal two generations ago, there were no chemtrails
and very little aerial spraying, life was more natural, and
fewer toxic compounds were used. Cancer and other autoimmune
diseases were not an issue. Today pets’ life spans are half of that.
Has modern medicine made our pets healthier in light of the cancer
statistics?
There has been new research finding that cancer is primarily
an environmental disease that comes and goes in the body. Is
it possible to either treat or prevent it through simple lifestyle
changes? If a dog has the same digestive tract of a wolf and a cat
as that of a jungle cat, would feeding them a species appropriate
diet increase their immune system? If we presented this type
of diet and restricted toxins, could we build a stronger, immune
body that could prevent and heal cancer?
Even in x-rays of dinosaur bones they found cancer cells which
exist in every organism in nature daily. The secret to all good
health is keeping the toxins and destructive compounds away and
adding the restorative nutrients and detoxifiers that allow us to
heal naturally. The body needs components that enter the body in
natural forms of nutrition that allow the body to heal, repair and
fight the never ending assaults it endures daily.
