Autosanguis therapy utilizes tiny amounts of your pet’s blood mixed with specific herbal remedies chosen based upon your pet’s medical condition. This mixture of blood and herbal medicines is then given back to your pet, both via injection (at the hospital) and orally (at home) to continue to support detoxification and healing. For pets with chronic diseases such as cancer, autosanguis herbal therapy is repeated every 2-6 months to support ongoing detoxification and support of the immune system.

Functional medicine is personalized medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. It is a science-based field of health care that is grounded in the following principles:

• Biochemical individuality describes the importance of individual variations in metabolic function that derive from genetic and environmental differences among individuals.
• Patient-centered medicine emphasizes “patient care” rather than “disease care,” following Sir William Osler’s admonition that “It is more important to know what patient has the disease than to know what disease the patient has.”
• Dynamic balance of internal and external factors.
• Web-like interconnections of physiological factors – an abundance of research now supports the view that the (human) body functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than individual systems functioning autonomously and without effect on each other. For example, we now know that immunological dysfunctions can promote cardiovascular disease, that dietary imbalances can cause hormonal disturbances, and that environmental exposures can precipitate neurologic syndromes such as Parkinson’s disease. We use these same principles to help our pets.
• Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease.
• Promotion of organ reserve as the means to enhance your pet’s health.

We try to support the organ system that is weak by feeding the body the a glandular extract of the organ that is deficient. For example, an animal with liver failure may benefit from administration of a liver glandular supplement.

As we like to say, if you’re not doing anything to boost the immune system following conventional cancer therapies, why are you surprised that the cancer returns quickly? You must support the pet during and following conventional cancer treatment in order to change the environment in which cancer developed to help your pet live as long as possible.
