During the course of treating and caring for my elderly Lab with cancer, I tried most everything. As far as diet, it’s commonly believed that a high protein diet devoid of grain, starches and sugars is beneficial. Grains, starch and sugar “feed” a tumor or so the holistic conventional wisdom goes. I wouldn’t know if it’s true, but my dog loved the diet, his coat came back in glossy and he was happy. The cancer wasn’t what killed him.

You gotta wonder why the first words from the oncologists mouth after giving patients the bad news isn’t “stop eating sugar to increase your chances of survival”.

Thanks - the usual stuff they give to get a better picture cad cause permanent pain when given in a large enough dose to get a great picture. A kind radiologist shared that with me about a loved on getting the test - and we reduced the amount used. The doctor didn't get a perfect picture to look at for a few seconds - but a loved one didn't have to suffer needlessly the last few weeks of life.. Nice to see they're coming up with better solutions.

Seems that something that highlights rumors can be turned up to fry them. Next step?
