Can Zeolite Be Recommended Instead Of Chemotherapy For Adenocarcinoma In Dogs?
Hello, my dog (a German Shepherd) has adenocarcinoma and was operated on three weeks ago. He is doing well and cancer free at the moment. The oncologist suggested chemo therapy to delay any future development of cancerous tumors. We are looking into homeopathic treatments. I have known about the qualities of zeolite for many years, but using it for cancer is new to me. Would you recommend we try instead of chemo. The dog is 11 years old. Thank you, Margarita

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Chemotherapy is always recommended after surgery as an adjuvant treatment. You should proceed with chemotherapy as suggested by the doctor. Zeolite has antioxidants and can help in reducing the cancer but chemotherapy is a must. As it is confirmed to be adenocarcinoma and this means there might still be cancer cells in the area even after surgery.
Cancer surgery usually involves excision of the growth along with a thin margin of normal appearing tissue. However in some cases there can still be tumor cells around the excised part and this can form another cancer if you ignore giving chemotherapy. What you can do is give zeolite with chemotherapy for best result. Please do not worry.
