C-Caps: Natural remedy supports dogs & cats with cancer

Cancer and your pet

Nobody knows exactly what causes cancer in cats and dogs but a number of risk factors have been identified including genetics, stress, pollution, food colourings, preservatives and a nutritionally inadequate diet. These factors and others, along with genetic make up, can damage your pet's immune system and a compromised immune system damages the body's natural ability to fight cancerous cells.

Finding out that your pet has cancer is devastating! But before you give way to grief, first get pro-active. You need to find out as much as possible about your pet's condition so that you can provide him/her with optimum care. Find out what type of treatments are available and consider which would be suitable for your pet's condition. In addition to conventional treatments (which are often effective although extremely harsh) there are a number of alternative treatments which have proved extremely helpful in treating cancer in pets, including acupuncture, aromatherapy and homeopathy. All may be used on their own, or in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments as supportive therapy.

Many holistic vets are increasingly aware of the benefits that natural remedies and complementary therapies can offer in the total treatment program. The importance of boosting your pet's compromised immune system is also being recognized as essential in slowing down the spread of cancer cells to the surrounding tissue.

Your aim is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible by minimising any pain and providing the best possible quality care.

The natural way

Cancer places a huge amount of strain on your pet’s body and the body is doing all that it can to fight off the abnormal cancer cells and stop their spread within your pet’s system. Although conventional treatments for cancer can be very effective, the drugs used place additional strain on the body as they need to be broken down and eliminated to prevent toxic build-up. Conventional drugs can also have side effects such as suppression of bone marrow which can further compromise your pet’s immune system.

Natural medicines have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. As more and more clinical trials are showing the effectiveness of natural remedies such as herbalism and homeopathy in treating illness, more pet owners are resorting to natural, side effect free remedies to treat their pets – giving them a more balance and all-round treatment.

How can C-Caps help?

C-Caps contain a combination of especially selected and highly respected herbs known for their anti-tumour properties and their ability to optimise immune functioning.

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, many of these herbs have been subjected to clinical research which has confirmed their ability to slow down the spread of cancer to surrounding cells, retard the growth of malignant tumours and strengthen a compromised immune system.

Can C-Caps cure cancer?

This is not a claim that we can make and it would be irresponsible of us to do so. Cancer is a serious illness and while the ingredients in C-Caps have shown very promising results in the treatment of cancer, we recommend that they be used as supportive therapy in the overall cancer treatment programme of your pet.

Please advise your vet that you are using C-Caps for your pet so that he or she can monitor results.

What are the ingredients?

C-Caps contain the following 100% herbal ingredients:

• Astragalus membranaceous is also known as Huang Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine. More recent research has highlighted the ability of this remedy to improve the functioning of the immune system and protect against disease. Recent studies suggest that Astragalus helps to activate the immune system and may prevent the spread of malignant cancer cells to surrounding healthy tissue. Further research conducted by the University of Texas found that an extract of Astragalus helped to restore immune functioning in cancer patients with compromised immune systems. This is particularly important after chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Astragalus also helps to lower blood sugar levels, accelerate wound healing, relieve fatigue, lower blood pressure and regulate water metabolism.
• Viscum album (Mistletoe): Known for its anti-tumour properties, this herb also helps to lower blood pressure and improve the functioning of the immune system. Results of both human and animal studies suggest that this ancient herb has an important part to play in the supportive treatment of cancer.
• Echinacea purpurea is well known for its excellent benefits for immune functioning and for its antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties. Used as a natural antibiotic, immune stimulant and anti-allergy agent, Echinacea is also effective as a tonic for the lymphatic system and has been investigated as supportive treatment in AIDS therapy. Regular use can help to keep your pet healthy and resistant to a range of illnesses.
• Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) is also called 'Indian ginseng' and is one of the most important Ayurvedic tonic herbs, assisting with growth, health and vigour. Regular use can help to nourish the blood and increase haemoglobin levels. Recent studies have demonstrated that Ashwagandha has anti-tumour properties and can help to prevent or slow the development of cancers. It is an effective anti-inflammatory and has excellent calming properties. This herb is often recommended as a tonic to assist with recovery after illness.
• Silybum marianus (Milk Thistle) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives and medical use of Milk Thistle may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk Thistle has been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. It is frequently recommended to counteract the harmful effects of prescription drugs and vaccinations on the liver and clinical studies have shown that it helps the liver to return to normal functioning. Scientific analysis of Milk Thistle shows that it contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the medical benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a powerful anti-oxidant and can block the entrance of toxins into the liver and remove toxins at cellular level, thereby resulting in regeneration of liver cells and improved liver functioning. This would have a direct impact on the overall systemmic health of your pet as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body.
• Uncaria tormentosa (Cat's Claw): This South American plant has been used by the natives of Peru for hundreds of years. Cat's Claw boasts many medicinal benefits, among them its anti-tumour properties, making it well known as a cancer preventative.

How have C-Caps helped others?

"Our Siamese cat was diagnosed with cancer almost three months ago and we decided that as soon as he really began to suffer we would make a decision to have him put down because we would not want him to go through too much pain. About 5 weeks ago, we thought that time was near as he was not in pain but seemed just to be weakening before our eyes. The vet recommended your C-Caps and we thought it would not hurt although a bit doubtful. After about only 3 weeks there was already a big difference, especially in appetite and energy. We are so grateful for the help that this product is providing!" - SH.

"I can only thank you for the C-Caps which have made such a difference to my poor Scotty who was diagnosed with stomach cancer. There is improvement in appetite and energy and he just seems to be doing so much better. We are hopeful that he will continue to improve every day, thanks to your product!" - Douglas

"Your C-Caps have made so much difference and are really easy to administer. I open the capsule as you said and mix the contents with a little butter and it all goes down like a dream! Since our dog was diagnosed with cancer we have been struggling to get her to take a tonic which we know is so important. The C-Caps are easy to give her without a struggle and we have seen a big improvement, and she seems very much more happy. Thank you for all your help and support! I am recommending your website to all of my friends!" - Mandy J.

"Our 9 year old rescued German Shorthaired Pointer was diagnosed with malignant mammary cancer in May. She had a radical mastectomy on June 16th. We started her on C-Caps in July, and she is now going through her "second puppyhood" I have never seen her have so much energy. The vet gave her only a few months to live after the surgery. It's now been 4 months, and she is doing better than ever! We hope to have her with us for many years to come, and I thank C-Caps for that!" - Erin Cox

"I have 2 cats that have been diagnosed with liver cancer and given few months to live, I wanted to give them a fighting chance so I started them on C-Caps and a high dose of vitamins; this was a year ago and they are in remission. The one that was diagnosed exactly a year ago, was given no more then 6 months if that. He is playing, his skin & coat are soft and shiny, his allergies are gone, he acts like he is young again. My second cat is still going strong, she is 3 months into her therapy and still hanging on. Neither one has suffered any. I thank you for your wonderful products." - Linda
