Dr. Steven Eisen Hopes to Save Lives with New Book, 'Dog Cancer: The Holistic Answer'

VENICE, Fla., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the number-one killer of dogs over the age of two, but according to Dr. Steven Eisen, author of the new book Dog Cancer: The Holistic Answer (ISBN 1451518838, http://www.dogcanceradvice.com, http://dogcanceradvice.com/about-the-book-2/), not enough dog owners know cancer in dogs can be prevented and even cured using natural methods.

Despite naysayers, Dr. Eisen saw his methods work in his Lhasa Apso, Fergie, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma and given six weeks to live. Refusing to give up on their beloved pet, Dr. Eisen and his wife applied holistic healing principles to Fergie's care, preparing simple meals with a specific mix of nutritional supplements chosen to help the dog's immune system. Their efforts paid off: Fergie lived more than two years longer, cancer free, finally passing away at the ripe old age of 14.

Dr. Eisen has spent three decades studying natural and holistic healing. A respected medical researcher, he has written nationally recognized guidelines for the treatment of human diseases. But when he received Fergie's grim prognosis, Dr. Eisen discovered an alarming absence of published guidelines or protocol for the treatment of canine cancer -- in spite of the fact that according to the ASPCA, approximately 60% of all dogs over the age of six will be diagnosed with some form of cancer.

He aims to change that with the release of Dog Cancer: The Holistic Answer.

"In the course of my research, I discovered veterinary training, like most conventional medicine, does not typically recognize natural and holistic methods of healing and prevention as valid," Dr. Eisen stated. "Yet only one in five dogs who undergo conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation is still alive after two years of that type of treatment."

Dr. Eisen didn't like those odds, so he drew upon his training and experience to create the unique holistic protocol that saved Fergie's life. The natural treatments outlined in Dog Cancer: The Holistic Answer are the same methods Dr. Eisen used with Fergie, and they are both scientifically and anecdotally proven to work. In an engaging, reassuring style, the book serves as a practical, step-by-step guide dog owners can follow to heal their own dogs.

"Dogs are continually exposed to cancer-causing toxins, including flea treatments, fertilizers, and commercial dog food," said Dr. Eisen. "It's no wonder so many dogs end up with cancer. But people need to know there are more effective, less expensive alternatives to radiation, chemotherapy and drugs. Dog Cancer: The Holistic Answer can help dog owners improve their pets' quality of life, and it has the very real potential to help save dogs' lives."
