First, let us see the report from our good friend who brought to our attention this Doggie Miracle:
[M]y uncles' 12 year old dog (Scottish Terrier) Phoebe, had bladder cancer - Transitional Cell Carcinoma -, common in this race and mortal in almost all cases, and according to the analysis and the vet, it was an aggressive one.Now let us look at Phoebe's medical record, including the images where her cancer is gone.
The veterinary told them that in 6 months the dog was going to experience a remarkable health deterioration. He suggested an aggressive therapy with very strong medication and he wasn't even sure that it was going to help in any way, maybe just to give her more time (in pain for sure). Well, my uncles didn't want to subject her to a painful and hard therapy and medication so they decided to search for other options.
We were talking about it and the idea that the right nutrition could help to heal the body, and about the possible health damage caused by industrialized dog food loaded with carbs, chemicals and other stuff that it's not part of a dog's natural or proper diet. We discussed this idea [and a friend] suggested that changing her diet to lean meat may help her in someway.
When i came back to Mexico i researched a little bit under that idea, and there are some vets now promoting a proper diet for dogs to avoid some sickness - some race's specific -, and some for treatment. In some articles, they also suggested to give them animal organs as heart and liver - from cows, pigs or chickens - (funny that this organs are the first eaten by the alpha wolf in a pack), and also found some articles about the use of small doses of Vitamin C (depending on the dog's size) to treat cancer in dogs.
I shared the info with them, and since the end of September they decided to apply it with caution. So, in this case, all came down to getting rid of the industrialized dog food, a diet based on lean meat, heart and liver sometimes, and small daily doses of vitamin C. The result of the past week analysis: Phoebe has no trace whatsoever of this allegedly aggressive cancer, she even increased her weight a little bit, and she's more active than before.
The vets and the people of the analysis lab are very surprised by this results. According to them, she should be dead or almost there by this time. My uncle's are very very happy because they love that dog very much.
Prior to diagnosis, she had an urine infection and was peeing blood. She got some antibiotics prescribed and an ultrasound was made on September 1st, 2012 which revealed the following images:
The ultrasound reports the following (my translation in case it reads awkward!):
Stomach, spleen, intestines and kidneys without significant changes. The bladder has plethora and the inner lining is irregular in certain portions. Diagnosis: Irregular bladder mucosa. It is advisable to do further tests in order to discard bladder cancer.This was her blood work in September 12, 2012 when she was first diagnosed with bladder cancer:
She had kidney failure and her liver enzymes were altered due to the illness' stress. She also had elevated protein levels due to inflammation and other chronic inflammatory markers. Upon this results, a study of the tumor was suggested.
A sample of her urine was obtained for analysis and it was compatible with a malignant neoplasm with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder as the first differential diagnosis. In other words, analysis of her urine revealed bladder cancer:
Okay, so this was the official diagnosis in September 22, 2012. Then, enter our friend's input:
"When i came back to Mexico i researched a little bit under that idea, and there are some vets now promoting a proper diet for dogs to avoid some sickness - some race's specific -, and some for treatment.

You would think that more bladder cancers will be resolved by now and many more lives saved, yes? Consider as well that Fred R. Klenner, MD. reported the following in the Journal of Applied Nutrition Vol. 23, No's 3 & 4, Winter 1971: "In the presence of ascorbic acid, carcinogenic metabolites of bladder cancer will not develop in the urine". Well, it seems that this knowledge based on research and common sense has yet to reach a lot of folks out there, since it seems that Phoebe's experience is unique for a doggie her type and a diagnosis of this kind.

Let's have a look at Phoebe's current medical tests:
The report of the ultrasound is as follows: "Compared to the previous study (09/01/12), the presence of thickened bladder mucosa is no longer observed":
Isn't this wonderful?! We are so glad for Phoebe and their owners. May this be a testimonial for the miraculous effects of a natural diet free of artificial and processed ingredients which saw all animals thrived during millennia until Big Agra and the Food Industry arrived. But also to vitamin C's miraculous effects. May all Scottish Terriers enjoy the same fate and benefits that Phoebe had!

Hello! I am so happy for Phoebe...I pray we have the same results with our dog.I have a west highland terrier that we have just found a tumor on his bladder. I hope you can explain a little further about the treatment that was done for your uncle's dog but I know this is an older article. We want to do anything to help our dog because he is family! I have a few questions:
1. what lean meats were fed to Phoebe?
2. What were given for treats?
3. What kind of vitamin c was given? ie. a packet in water?, in pill form? where did you get it? also how often a day? and what were the doses?
3. did the cancer ever come back?
4. how long did this treatment prolong Phoebe's life?
Your answers would mean so much to us and if you have anything else to let us know? We were given the option of surgery to remove the tumor but we are afraid that will do more harm than good. Please help!!
