K-9 Immunity™ is an immune system modulator used for dogs fighting serious illness such as canine cancer. It is made from the same pharmaceutical grade immuno-modulating compounds as our human grade Immune-Assist Critical Care Formula™, but it is formulated especially for dogs with cancer. K-9 Immunity™ was developed from Aloha Medicinals human cancer research, and was first used in treating cancer in seeing eye dogs. It is now available as an over the counter supplement for your dog. K-9 Immunity™ has been used in thousands of dogs with cancer, and for more than seven years in human patients. Talk to your vet about K-9 Immunity™, or order now and get started today! Now available without prescription in the USA and many other countries.

Understanding the Treatments - Immuno-Modulation in Dog Cancer

Twenty-First century canine cancer treatment options: For hundreds of years, the best treatment option medicine had to offer was blood-letting and leeches. In many respects, cancer treatment in the USA is still at the leech stage.  It's not that the doctors don't want to do better, but under our current regulatory guidelines in America, changes in medicine are slow to take place.

Today there is a better approach used to treat cancer throughout the rest of the world. One that offers greater hope of a successful outcome than any previous therapy. The treatment of choice for most cancers consists of a two-pronged approach: 1) Reduce the tumors in whatever way is appropriate for the patient, (surgery, chemo and radiation) while 2) addressing the underlying cause, which is a failure of the body to recognize the cancer cells as invaders and destroy them. This failure of the recognition response is what allows the cancer to grow, and is an immune system dysfunction. What we are hoping to achieve with K9 Immunity is to trigger the dog’s immune recognition response. When we can trigger this recognition response, the animal is able to address the cancer as it would any other wound, and heal it, leaving behind scar tissue. This two pronged approach to cancer treatment is termed Immuno-Modulation therapy, and is the way cancer is being treated throughout the civilized world today.

Of the many countries keeping cancer statistics today, the United States has the very worst remission rates of all. So don’t let anyone tell you we are doing it correctly in this country, and that the Germans, French, English and everyone else has it wrong. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation cannot cure cancer, since they only address one half of the problem. These methods are certainly valuable in treatment, and they definitely do work to reduce the tumors, but they do nothing to address the underlying cause that allowed the proliferation of the cancer cells in the first place. Ultimately, the immune system must be taught to recognise the cancer and fight it for a successful treatment outcome.

First, it helps to understand just what cancer is.

Cancer is the result of the body’s failure to recognize and destroy cells that do not replicate normally. The key to successful cancer treatment is to trigger  immune recognition and response in the dog. When this happens, the dog's own body will usually destroy the cancer and leave behind only scar tissue. Why would a dog's immune system fail to recognize the cancer cells as invaders? In healthy dogs around 100 million cells replicate every day. Just by the shear number of cells replicating, some of them are bound to replicate with errors. One of the main functions of the Immune System is to identify and destroy these aberrant cells before they have the chance to pass that error along. It is only when the immune system fails to recognizes these 'bad' cells that they become cancer. What this means is that cancer is first and foremost an immune dysfunction disease. Because if the Immune System were working properly there would have been no chance for the cancer to begin in the first place. It would have been destroyed on a cell-by-cell basis as it happened. This is actually a process that occurs in all animals from the moment of birth onward
