Ray's words are in quotes. Purple notes in brackets are my thoughts): "I think a blend of raw liver and egg [I am not sure but I think he later said about 1 tsp liver to one egg] will provide a good balance of the vitamins, and a little powdered eggshell could provide the calcium to balance the high phosphorous content of those. (I had a cat with a huge mouth tumor who recovered completely with just the liquified liver and egg.) A small drop of Progest-E (with 2 or 3 mg of progesterone) could be added a few times a day [can be very sedating- don't mistake the sedation for illness]. About 5 to 10 mg of a pure pregnenolone per day would reduce stress [I did this but don't know if this helped my cat at all]. CoQ10 and aspirin are probably helpful for any kind of cancer [I agree that aspirin can help with cancer, but cats can be very sensitive to it and my cat had GI bleeding which may have been from 5mg aspirin or the bloodroot I had given orally]; I doubt that MSM, DMSO, and silver are helpful [I disagree, however MSM and DMSO have the potential to interfere with thyroid function which could in turn make cancers worse. At the very least MSM and DMSO are helpful for protection against radiation which is certainly poisoning out pets and contributint to cancers. As for colloidal silver, when one is dealing with cancer, one can assune immune system is challenged and killing off harmful microbes can only be helpful (with caution to prevent reactions from endotoxin release)]. 5 or 10 mg of aspirin twice a day, finely mixed with the food, would be a safe amount.
How to Make Your Own Ground Eggshell Calcium Supplement for Dogs and Cats
by Sarah Whitman, Demand Media
Eggshell offers a highly absorbable form of calcium.
Whether you have a dog, a cat or both, using ground eggshell is an easy and highly nutritious approach to calcium supplementation. Dogs and cats alike will benefit from the natural nutrients found in eggshells, without any of the additives found in many commercial supplements.
Most of the body's calcium is found in bones. It forms a base for your pets' bone structure, and works with phosphorous, boron, vitamin D and other nutrients to support muscle and nerve function, balance hormone levels and keep blood healthy. Eggshells pack a calcium punch, as they are about 94 to 97 percent calcium. This calcium is highly absorbable due to its natural form, and because other trace minerals present within the shell increase absorption.
Calcium Requirements for Dogs and Cats
Calcium requirements are based on body weight. Per kilogram of body weight, adult dogs need about 120 mg, and pups 320. Cats need about 128 mg per kilogram, and kittens 400. To find your pet's weight in kilograms, divide his weight in pounds by 2.2. For example, a 10-pound dog weighs 4.5 kilograms and he'd need 540 mg of calcium daily (120 mg per kilogram x 4.5 kilograms = 540 mg). Your pet's needs may vary, so run your estimate past your vet.
Calcium Content in Eggshells, and Choosing Eggs
One average-size eggshell has 750 to 800 mg of calcium, along with trace elements like boron, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc and more. Eggshells have a total of 27 trace elements and a composition similar to bones and teeth. They're porous, so they are vulnerable to contaminants, chemicals and bacteria in their environment. Therefore, buy organic when possible. Cooking eggshells will help destroy bacteria, but it won't remove chemicals.
Basic Eggshell Calcium Supplement Recipe
Remove egg from shell. Keep the thin membrane, as it contains nutrients. Drop shells in boiling water for a minute or two to kill bacteria. Dry, then place in a coffee grinder. Grinding protects your pet's mouth, as shells are sharp otherwise. If you don't have a grinder, place them in a plastic bag and roll them with a rolling pin until well crushed. Last resort is to use your hands to crush them. When they no longer hurt your hand, they're probably safe for your pet's mouth."
