Two top products, specifically for dog cancer: Mushroom Immune Gold and Life Gold

A cancer diagnosis can be one of the hardest things to hear from your vet. The word alone can cause any pet parent to panic, as it immediately brings thoughts of hardship and grief to mind. There are several options that pet owners are given at this time, and they may range from conventional treatments like chemotherapy and surgery, to more alternative methods.

As with cancer in humans, the exact causes of pet cancer are largely unknown. Genetics may be a possible contributing factor, while other factors may include:

- Diet (including things like food additives)
- Environment (water and air pollution; household chemicals)
- Advanced age and stress

All these factors can weaken your pet's immune system and their ability to fight cancerous cells. But where do cancerous cells come from in the first place?

Cancer starts when a healthy cell is damaged and starts to multiply out of control. This cell damage occurs when there is an overabundance of "free radicals". Free radicals are unstable molecules that are aggressively trying to stabilize themselves by stealing from other surrounding molecules. This continuous process creates a growing number of new free radicals. Without achieving stabilization through antioxidant support, these free radicals will grow in number and eventually cause damage to the body's cells.

Pet Wellbeing's More Mushrooms Kit includes Mushroom Immune Gold and Life Gold to help maintain your pet's struggling immune system and overall wellness.

Mushroom Immune Gold
Mushroom Immune Gold is a comprehensive, complementary and alternative therapeutic formula. It can be used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapeutic drugs and/or radiation therapy.

Medicinal mushrooms have gained notoriety for their powerful ability to support the immune system. Many supplements make this claim, but medicinal mushrooms go beyond supporting the body's natural mechanisms to deal with bacteria and viruses. Many mushroom species have the ability to support the body's innate immune mechanisms, sustaining a stronger and more resilient immunity, and faster recovery.

In addition to immune enhancement, certain mushroom species help the body's reactions to internal and external stressors, including cellular stress from environmental toxins.
Life Gold

Life Gold is a proprietary formula developed for dogs when their quality of life needs a boost. More immune system and antioxidant support may be needed at this time. Dogs in need of immune system support can be more at risk for the increased effects of oxidative damage. In the later stages, there may be signs such as weight loss, lack of appetite, weakness, unexplained vomiting, abnormal growths or swellings, and many other symptoms depending on the area(s) affected. If you see any of these symptoms or anything else that concerns you, seek the advice of a veterinarian immediately.

Life Gold helps to ensure that the body's vital systems of detoxification are maintained and supported. The liver, kidneys, bowel, lungs, and skin all work to remove the body's waste products. The herbs in Life Gold also help to support the lymphatic system, a vital part of the immune system.

Life Gold supports your pet's long-term vitality.

Immune support and gentle detoxification can make a huge difference to a pet's quality of life. They often feel so much better with attention given to these important aspects of maintaining health.

Mushroom Immune Gold is Formulated With:
Turkey Tail fruiting body and mycelium (Coriolus versicolor): This beautifully shaped polypore has been extensively researched for its significant immune system support, probably more than any other mushroom in the world. In Japan, PSK (a derivative of Turkey Tail comprised of polysaccharides) is an approved product for cancer treatment.
Maitake fruiting body (Grifola frondosa): Another immune-enhancing medicinal mushroom, Maitake has anti-tumor and anti-viral benefits. It has also been studied for its beneficial effects on blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and its ability to help support normal blood sugar. For this reason, we recommend using caution when administering alongside blood-sugar-lowering medication, as Maitake may enhance its effects.
Milk Thistle seed (Silybum marianum): Milk Thistle is a very well-tolerated herb, generally used for liver support. Studies have indicated that its use decreases side effects from chemotherapy and radiation therapies and generally increases quality of life.
Reishi fruiting body (Ganoderma lucidum): A suitable adjunct to standard cancer therapies, Reishi is also indicated for growths and general inflammation. It is one of the prized "king herbs" for reducing stress, maintaining good energy levels, and balancing hormones.
Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale): A small amount of ginger is added to the formula as a "harmonizer", and also for its known anti-bacterial properties.
... 2,110 mg per 5 ml (1 teaspoon)

Mushrooms and herbs are certified organic, except for Maitake (conventionally grown).

Inactive ingredients: Deionized water, natural bacon flavor, vegetable glycerin.

Life Gold is Formulated With:
Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus): This Asian herb is used extensively for immune support and has been shown to significantly improve quality of life in animal studies.
Blessed Thistle herb (Cnicus benedictus): A long-used traditional plant, this restorative herb has been used for its detoxifying and cleansing properties, as well as for its antioxidant components and cell regeneration.
Sheep Sorrel herb (Rumex acetosella): High in vitamin C and minerals, this herb has been widely used for lymphatic health, for health of the digestive tract, and as a detoxifier.
Burdock root (Arctium lappa): Burdock has been used for providing help to the liver (bile secretions), to support a healthy appetite, and for the maintenance of healthy cells in the presence of chemicals.
Slippery Elm bark (Ulmus rubra): High in mucilage, this slightly sweet-tasting bark has been used for centuries in North America for soothing the digestive tract and absorbing toxins. It is highly nutritious with lots of antioxidants.
Ginger rhizome Zingiber officinale): Ginger has a long, traditional use for nausea, as an appetite stimulant, and for its warming, fortifying effect.
