Tallgreydogmom Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 My friends greyhound was just DX with osteoscarcoma. I am looking for information that will tell them about Artemisinin and how it works. Can someone give me some websites to refer them to please? Thanks Quote Then God sent the Greyhound to live among man and remember. And when the Day comes, God will call the Greyhound to give Testament, and God will pass judgment on man.

Aerosmom Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm so sorry about the osteo diagnosis. Holley Pharmaceuticals is supposed to be a good source. If you join circle of grey, you should get lots of advice and support. There are a few people here with long-term osteo survivors who have given their dogs artemisinin.

queenwinniesmom Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Visit My Website I'm so sorry your friend's Grey has gotten this sad diagnosis. There is so much to think about at this time, and you are right to try to give them all the help and info you can. This is the Yahoo artemisinin group. I also have a link to a website with info about how artemisinin works to help fight the cancer cells, but I can't find it right now. I think I have it at work, so I'll post it tomorrow. In simplified terms, cancer cells need iron to replicate, and the artemisinin is similar, and is allowed into the cancer cell, where it works to destroy it. You can also check the archives of Celebrating Greyhounds for the cancer issue, where there is a good article, plus reputable sources to order online. It is not all created equal, so you have to be careful where you get it. Holley is good, and Nutricology, where I used to order it for Winnie, who was with us for 3 1/2 years after her amp (with no chemo). Of course, I can't be sure just what caused that length of quality time, but I always thought the artemisinin was worth a shot. It just made sense to me to try, and it's natural. Dr. Couto is studying it too---you could always contact him, or Ohio State for info on their findings. Please let your friend know that there is a lot of support here and on Circle Of Grey.

sweetdogs Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 BoneCancerDogs.org has a good overview on artemisinin with lots of links to other things. Please have your friend contact Dr. Couto's program at Ohio State - they are incredibly helpful & supportive. Best wishes for your friend & her pup.
