It is a must for any of the chemo drugs like doxorubicin which are know to cause heart damage. I also use it for boxers and breeds prone to heart issues and dogs with active cardiac disease and murmurs. I dose cats at 400mg two times a day and dogs 800-1600mg twice a day when I use this supplement. Not much research has been done in humans with this supplement but a lot of cancer studies have been done in animals. It is an antioxidant and has effects in inhibiting cancer cell growth and division. Inositol Hexaphosphate, also known as IP6 is important in stimulating the immune system’s natural killer cells to destroy cancer tissue. It is very safe and you don’t need to know Chinese medicine to use it. I still use a lot of IP6 especially for dogs with hemangiosarcoma. He got very good results when he combined these with acupuncture and other herbals.

He used a lot of it combined with Coenzyme Q10. IP6 – I first was introduced to IP6 by my acupuncture teacher Richard Panzer.So here is my very short list of single supplements and herbals that I use with some of the dogs and cats I work with. However we can only give them so many things and I want the things that work the best, that are going to help the most. It is rare that someone comes in with their dog on something harmful. As I remove them from the protocol one by one, people will ask me, “what is wrong with that one, isn’t it good?” It is also easy to get overwhelmed with supplements – I’ve had dogs come in on a whole shopping bag of them. If I pick out single supplements and herbals and combine them I loss a lot of the synergy. See Herbal Treatments – plants holding cancer at bay I can give 4 herbals and end up with 30-40 herbs working together. I feel like you get more bang from the combination herbals and more synergy between the herbals. Personally I have found that more complex herbals work better in my hands. I don’t use a lot of supplements and single herbs in treating cancer.
