I have a lot of dogs, and over the years a couple have developed forms of lymphoma. Without going in to a lot details, about 10 years ago an older beagle developed a large tumor near her throat. By happenstance (?) I read something about asparagus and cancer. Cutting to the chase, I pureed it and feed to the pup. The tumor went from size of grapefruit to a golf ball in a week or so. I thought I found a cure.
Since then I give all pups some on their food. Over the years a few more have had forms of cancers. The vets have projected how much "time" they probably had and each has exceeded, considerably, said projections. I now know it isn't a cure but I am convinced it slows the growth.
BTW, I find asparagus revolting. It stinks and is not pleasant to look at, but I have a good stash in the kitchen. Yet another reason I pray I never get cancer, I don't know if I could force myself to eat it. Yuk!

Thank you Dr Yoho, for posting my story. (This is Vera.) I noted what you said about aspirating the needle before injection. I did that religiously. My hypothesis is, that since I was then shooting into the groin, I hit a lymph vessel. I am assuming that since lymph is transparent, aspiration would not have provided a warning. That is why I switched into belly fat. Some people recommend shooting into the thigh or buttock muscle, but I found these injections way too painful and the welts too slow to heal.
And would you be so kind and correct Gar Hildenbrand's name in the paragraph above Dr Coley's picture? Thank you! :-)
This is a wonderful story. Another wonderful story is by Cheryl Canfield, who wrote the book "Profound Healing" about her experience of "going against the grain" to heal from devastating cancer over 30 years ago. She is currently an exceptional hypnotherapist in California.
I’m not at a stage in my life where I have time for anything, but I want you to know I appreciate your writing and read when I can.
I also am saving the articles in the hopes that if I ever do have a health crisis, I’ll have time to read them (assuming our benevolent overlords haven’t eliminated the articles by then.)

Hi Doc.,
What a courageous story.
It always amazes me when I read of how someone’s will to live is so strong.
Such Heroes!
I’m so glad you keep me in the loop.
I’m glad you’re there too.
Porch light still on for you and Judy.
Regards,
Charlotte Long
