There are some natural dog cancer treatments that many vets praise, but not the majority for sure. A minority of experts in the field agree with natural approaches to treating canine cancer, but their numbers are rising. Here are some interesting articles I found on these holistic canine therapies:

Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer. We know that conventional therapy doesn't work--if it did, you would not fear cancer any more than you fear pneumonia. It is the utter lack of certainty as to the outcome of conventional treatment that virtually screams for more freedom of choice in the area of canine cancer therapy. Yet most alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because there's no other choice.

The only real defense against cancer is the immune system. Everyone gets cancer every day but if the immune system is where it should be those cancer cells are eliminated and we never know it. Once a person (or an animal) has developed cancer, even though treatments get it into remission, it will recur again unless the body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place are corrected.

My colleagues and I have found Transfer Factor to be very effective in modulating the immune system. Transfer factor is a "soup" of immune-modulating factors, which contains a leukocyte-type molecule that can passively transfer immunity from one mammal to another by stimulating cell-mediated immunity and is antigen specific. The transfer factor "soup" also contains suppressor and inducer factors, which can greatly increase the activity and effectiveness of natural killer cells while addressing autoimmune conditions at the same time. Independent laboratories have measured increases of more than 248% in natural killer cell effectiveness on live erythroleukemic cells. We have experienced encouraging results from the use of Transfer Factor on dogs with cancerous tumors. Richard Bennett, Ph.D., an Infectious Disease Microbiologist and Immunologist, who received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, believes this could be the most significant development in animal health care in decades. We have a great number of veterinarians and clients who are experiencing very positive results in a broad area of disorders, including periodontal.
