My dog Jack has recently been diagnosed with this. I have been trying a few things, like apricot kernals, ect and two weeks on he seems to be doing okay. I have avoided the treatment tablets the vet offered as he said that they would not "cure" it just offer more time, and they come with possible horrendous side effects. I am tracking what I am doing for Jack on my blog. I am interested in what others are doing for their dogs, its why I am writing to you. I hope REbel is still with you ... Godlove to all love and light Gina Hi, I came across http://www.petconnection.com/b.....selfs-dog/ when looking for blogs on canine bladder cancer.

There is a GNC store in this area so I assume they carry this. Mainly I am wondering what is the dosage and how often, etc. Carol: I would like to hear more about treating Cushings Disease with Phosphytidyl Serine.

Sure - would anyone think I would give him back? I had him since he was about 3 or 4. He developed bladder stones shortly after I adopted him. Had successful surgery and never seemed bothered by any other bladder problems until developing cancer in the beginning of 1995. I saw the Purdue study about the correlation between outdoor chemicals and bladder cancer, especially in terriers. I personally never use the stuff on my lawns, but my neighbor is a lawn fanatic. Lord knows what ended up on her property. His Cushings was never much of a factor as it was successfully controlled by the over-the-counter item mentioned before. I will check out the web site. Glad to know the PS is more accepted now than it was when I started it. Hammer was my “foster” dog. Sure - would anyone think I would give him back? I had him since he was about 3 or 4.

Scotties also have a high incidence of Cushing's Syndrome. I believe they two maladies are related and that both relate back to a hereditary metabolic fault that makes the breed particularly susceptible to hormone disrupters. A bladder cancer study performed at Purdue a few years ago pointed squarely at herbicide exposure as one cause of TCC in Scotties. Many living things--including human beings--suffer a panoply of diseases owing to the deleterious effects of estrogen mimics, which are ubiquitous in modern life. And about PS: You'll find many testimonials to its effectiveness on the CanineCushings-AutoimmuneCare list. Carol—

It's a challenge to keep the money flowing when the results aren't guarranteed.

I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Martin Goldstein at a book signing. He told me what to get for Hammer was the drugs from the vet weren't working. I bought what I needed at GNC (phosphytidyl serine - still can't spell it much less pronounce it), and Hammer never was bothered by the disease again. He died from bladder cancer about 8 years after being diagnosed with Cushings. I have read that terriers (especially Scottish terriers - Hammer was a terrier mix) are prone to problems with the bladder. I'm sorry about your precious dog. Their attitude is often the key to a happy life. My own dog had been diagnosed with Cushing’s. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Martin Goldstein at a book signing.
