I have just placed an order for my second Blend of Maritime Pine Bark Extract for my dog, Indiana, who has Osteo Sarcoma. We discoverd the tumor early in July and had his leg amputated (the bone was almost destroyed) on 16 July 2004. The cancer had not yet matastisized. We began administering the cancer support tonic as well as the Maritime Pine Bark tonic within 2 weeks after surgery at the high dose. We also changed his diet to BARF.
The first two weeks after surgery were tough, as he was sore and tired. He definitly healed quickly and began sleeping on the side without the leg. I think he took to his ball around the 3rd week post surgery.
The last four weeks were amazing. We took him to the schoolyard near our house to play ball in the evenings with our other dog, Inu. He regained his interest in terrorizing the postman and our neighbor.
Yesterday he was tired and quiet. He did not spin in circles and nibble our hands when my husband and I came home from work. His behaviour shook us a bit as we been lulled into a sense of hopefullness by his incredible vitality. He was better this morning on our walk, trotting and smiling like he usually does. I imagine he will have days when he is too tired to be himself.
Kind Regards

This is the sort of progress which I expect with osteosarcoma cases.
The plan from here on is to enjoy every day as it comes and remember that Indiana is not worried about the cancer, he is just enjoying every day as it comes along.
We very often get many months of a high energy, high vitality remission, and this is what I predict for him.
All the best
Robert
