This mixture was specifically formulated to treat Fibrosarcoma and is given in conjunction with the Maritime Pine Extract and my strongest exhortation is to feed your dog regularly with raw meaty bones.
It is ridiculous to believe that this is a situation which has not been brought about directly by our subversion of the modern dogs natural breeding, diet and exercise patterns and its environment generally.
Since the 1950's with the introduction of processed dog feed and more recently by the almost complete elimination of raw meat and bones in many cases from companion dogs' feed, the efficient digestion and intake of suitably balanced essential minerals has become an important part of the osteosarcoma problem. Arthritis in young dogs of the bigger breeds is part of exactly the same situation, the only difference being that cancer reflects a depleted immunity on top of an unhealthy diet.
Additionally, inbreeding in certain species has set up a situation where both the immunity and the gene pool of many so called pure bred dogs make them dangerously susceptible to illness and congenital problems.
Added to this, we mostly take pups away from their siblings very young and bring them up on their own so that they miss out on all the rough and tumble play which toughened bones. Sometimes we subject them to long and inappropriate walks while they are still too young for such exercise and then constrain them to extremely lonely and boring existences while overfeeding them all at the same time.
This is the most disturbing situation of all to me, because it says that even with the best of understanding and care, we are still faced with an increasing incidence of cancer in our dogs and this bodes ill for our own species as well. It says to me that our environment is now so subverted that even healthy and careful members of our both species are in trouble. God help us.

Fibrosarcoma is commonly referred to as a "hard tumor." It usually originates from connective tissue such as those associated with cartilage, bone or muscle. Veterinarians are often presented with several treatment obstacles. Fibrosarcomas have a tendency to recur and most often do not respond well to chemotherapy.
Surgical removal of fibrosarcoma is difficult because of the way the tumor grows. It sends out finger-like projections that attach to surrounding tissue. Because the tumor is so spread out, it can be difficult to completely remove. Subsequently, the tumor recurs and leads to additional surgeries and possible amputation of effected limbs.
This combination, along with dietary changes including a return to a single meal each day consisting of mostly raw meaty bones offers the best chance of bringing a case of Osteosarcoma into remission and my clients and I are very often able to achieve this.

Sustaining the remission is harder, especially beyond the 12 and 24 month barriers, but the program reliably reduces pain and produces an extended healthy and vital period to be enjoyed by both dog and owner.
