Cat Protocol List

Potential Protocols: Relevant Probiotic strains: Bacillus coagulans Saccharomyces boulardii Acupuncture Omega 3 Fatty Acids (appear to afford protection against chemotherapy induced GI toxicity). Boswellia Serrata (inhibits 5-lioppxygenase & other pro-inflammatory mediators. Works as well as prescription medication for Cron's disease, a form of IBD in humans) Glutamine (significantly countered generation of colitis in rats by affecting pro-inflammatory gene expression and activation) (anti-inflammatory L-glutamine benefits include repairing he gut and intestinal lining). (L-Glutamine may also inhibit tumor growth and helps in protecting the gastrointestinal system and combat the physical wasting and loss of muscle mass seen in some cancer patients.) (It is best to build up to the full dose slowly and not to give

the supplement for more than 2-3 months.)

Curcumin (down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, suppressing iNOS, and blunting nneutrophil recruitment. Also reduces lipid per oxidation and tissue injury). (tends to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.) Licorice (anti-inflammatory effects on colon by reducing colonic myeloperoxidase activity nd the production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines.) Plantain (one of its active constituants ameliorates intestinal inflammation by down-regulating interferon-alpha and inhibiting oxidative burst activity, thereby reducing mucosal tissue damage in a murine model.)

Clove & Cinnamon Oils (a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in clove and cinnamon oils significantly suppresses levels of interleukin-6 in serum and IL-6 mRNA in tissue.) DGL Licorice Root (support the body's natural processes for maintaining the mucosal lining of the stomach and duodenum.) Collagen Powder / Bone Broth (helps boost gastric juices and aid in restoring the integrity of your mucosal lining. Also contains amino acids proline and glycine which are essential building blocks to repairing damaged intestinal lining.) NAG (N-acetyl glucosamine to protect lining of stomach and intestines. Anti-inflammatory effects, reported to help with IBD in humans). Quercetin (known to improve gut barrier function because it helps seal the gut lining by creating tight junction proteins. It keeps inflammation at bay.).

Essential Supplements for Pets with Autoimmune Disease: (Note: Stomatitis = Autoimmune Condition) Caution: only certain kinds of immune support supplements will be helpful and some can even be harmful. Since a pet with autoimmune disease has an immune system that is already overstimulated, using supplements that "strengthen" immune activity can often make the situation worse. Instead, use supplements that 1) reduce inflammation and/or 2) balance the immune system by quieting GI activity (the majority of a pet's immune system resides in the gut). We recommend the following for any pets with autoimmune disease:

Immune Harmony modulates the Immune System--very well tolerated by both cats and dogs, #1 choice for autoimmune (plant sterols) Power Probiotic gently supports digestive health and repopulates good bacteria which supports immune health without overstimulation Colostrum For Pets especially important if the pet had worms or parasites such as Giardia as a puppy or kitten causing the intestinal lining (protects our immune system) to be compromised at an early age Notatum our best seller for immune support that fights infection, supports GI health and is well tolerated by cats and dogs of all ages and sizes Amazing Omegas Highest quality fish oil that reduces inflammation and is essential for pets with autoimmune disease (http://www.askariel.com/Articles.asp?ID=298)

Grains and poultry can contribute to long-term inflammation (please see food allergy articles). Cats with intestinal lymphoma are often treated with chemotherapy along with diet changes and natural supplements. The IBD Kit is essential for cats with intestinal lymphoma as it helps

improve digestive symptoms, reduces pain (hunching over, tummy noises) and enhances absorption of nutrients. The IBD Kit is easy to administer and cats experience relief within a few days. Colostrum For Pets can help repair the intestinal lining and strengthen your cat's immune system to fight the cancer. (Note: "IBD Kit" = Power Probiotic + Soothing Digestive Relief + Notatum Anti-Inflammatory Drops) (Notatum = Penicillium notatum (chrysogenum)) (If your pet is suffering from chronic allergies, cancer or an

autoimmune condition, Immune Harmony should be a core component of your pet’s health regimen.)
