Bio:
Ruby is amazing, she was hit by a car at 6 mo old, almost died . When she was 9 mo old she was kicked by a horse and had to have a hip bone removed, lost the nerve in her foot she was knuckling under her back paw causing constant infection. I created a boot or a shoe that forced her to walk upright on that foot, she wore this for 6 mo or so this taught her how to walk correctly so she no longer needed that shoe. Then over 2 years ago she was diagnosed with A blood cancer called Hemangioscarcoma our vet told us with out Chemo Ruby would die with in 6 to 9 mo. I look up this cancer on the Internet and found that only 10% of Dogs survive 1 year. This was unacceptable to me. I know there is always an answer. My Husband and I have be a firm believer in natural supplements I began doing some research and found lots of info on people and supplements keeping them alive with many ailments including Cancer. Since I could not find anything on Dogs I decided to use what these people were using, I just cut the amounts in half. Ruby is doing wonderfully , this was 2 years and 7 mo ago. I have now shared my story with a friend of a friend twice now, both those are also beating the odds. I am very grateful for these products and so are the other 2 people that I have shared with. I know there are others out there looking for solutions. I would be happy to share with anyone that needs help. Dana J.

Today we heard from a person that is a friend to Ruby and me, she had a neighbor with a Dog that had became very ill several months ago. When to took to dog to the vet. He was told the dog had Cancer of the limp nodes that there was nothing that could be done as it was already spread Thur out the body and told him the dog had maybe three months. Our friend had him call me and I shared with him what I was doing for Ruby and the amounts. I told him I was going to do everything I could to keep Ruby happy and healthy he said he was going to give it try as he was the same for Bailey. Today he called to let us know that Bailey seems like a new dog that her strength is coming back and has started to play with the other dogs again. And Saturday was D day as he called it, the day the vet said would be her last. He is very grateful for Ruby and her story. Ruby today spend half the day playing with Zucki. She loves to eat and had a good breakfast and dinner. Ruby and Zucki are starting to settle down for the evening after a hard day of play and mouse hunting.
