Cinnamon 6


Cinnamon is loving her raw liver even more. She is now hanging around the kitchen waiting for me to give her a piece. I can't believe how much she loves it now when she used to turn her nose up! My other 2 cats still will not eat it. I know John Carter recommended giving NZ lamb liver but I don't think its organic, so does anyone know if this is correct as I thought most fresh food had to be organic. I have looked at the organic carrot juice in the supermarket but the only one I can find has lemon juice in it. Is this the one most people use? I'm not sure carrot juice will go down well with Cinnamon but I do put a little organic raw or cooked carrot mixed in to the food sometimes.

Am I the only CV247 user writing on this Blog, where has everyone gone?? No one is giving updates anymore, which is a shame as we can help one another. There must be quite a few people out there who's animals are using it and it would be so nice for us all to keep in contact and swap recipies etc. Even if you feel it may not be working and your pet is still poorly, keep in touch and we might be able to give you a shoulder to lean on and talk to one another and share our problems. Are there no other feline friends?

Well, my little angel is still ok, tumours are about the same as on my last post, but she is still well and has her mad half hours zooming around the house, jumping on the window ledge and knocking over the photos, but I don't care, as long as she is happy and not suffering thats all that matters.

John was always fine with NZ Lambs liver, he thought it was the best as the lambs were apparently all grass fed. With regard to carrot juice I made my own. I have a Anthony Worrell Thompson juicer and I just make carrot juice fresh as I need it. It is for me these days not the dogs as I got a taste for the stuff! Some juicer don't cope with the strain of carrots - but this one has lasted a long time already!

Cinnamon 5

Cinnamon has now been taking CV247 for five weeks and I have just ordered another bottle. Unfortunately, it appears that two of the tumours are returning at a similar rate to pre-CV247. It was difficult to tell before if they were the tumours returning or lumpy scar tissue from her operation, but one of the lumps has grown slightly. She is well in herself and always has been. However, Fibrosarcoma tumours grow very aggressively and quite fast, so it could be that the CV247 hasn't kicked in sufficiently enough yet to hold them back or she is the unlucky percentage that it won't work for her. I have contacted the vet that supplied me the CV247 but he said that animals respond differently to it and there is not enough knowledge and history on the formula to give any time limits. I have, therefore, decided to incorporate the homoeopathy, mushroom extracts and vitamins that I was giving her before to see if they can slow the growths down.
I wondered if the owner of Heidi would mind giving me details of all her alternative medicines please as I read that Heidi has reishi mushrooms etc which I am giving Cinnamon, although I am giving her the five top ones. I also wondered what strength is being used and what the dosage is. I am just guessing with mine.
Thank you
Maralyn

I've forwarded this email to Heidi's owner. I've also asked Rachael to write up Heidi's diet sheet as I'm sure it will help others. John Carter was always most insistent on a rigid fresh, salt free, chemical free diet. I know that Maralyn has struggled to get her cats onto fresh food and is using a prepared high quality diet. I think we know that for a third of cases CV247 will have no effect what so ever, be such a shame if it isn't going to work for Cinnamon. Fingers crossed that it does.

Cinnamon 4






Here is my little Cinnamon today, having a little wander and sunbathe in the garden. She is still doing okay although I think she may have lost a little weight, but that might be because of her complete change of food over to organic which has no added salt and sugar and I have taken her off the dried food which she was always nibbling all day long. The little tiny lump on the right of her neck (about pinhead size) still seems the same size, so it could possibly be the scarring from her op, time will tell. At the moment she is doing okay.

I have left various comments on people's posts but not received a reply. It would be really nice to correspond with you all to share our experiences with the new CV247 and give support and advice to one another. You need to check the "comments" box at the end of your post to see if there is a reply. Look forward to corresponding with you.

She looks so young in these photos!
Lots of the pets did get very lean on the Carter regime, I think that was part of the philosophy after we'd cracked the cancer with Sally we gradually reintroduced more carbs. If anyone wants to comment you just need to click on the comments bit - if you struggle - email any comments to me and I'll put them up for you. (beverley@dogstodaymagazine.co.uk).

Cinnamon part three

Cinnamon is doing ok at the moment! She has been on CV247 for 15 days with no side effects to date. This Thursday will be 5 weeks since her last operation to remove five tumours. Within two months I can normally feel one or two very very tiny lumps reappearing and at the moment I can feel a little something on her neck but she did have a very deep scar there, so I am not sure if it is scarring or the tumour returning once again, so only time will tell. I assume like everything else, the CV247 needs to get into the system before it successfully works. She is very well in her self but then again she has never been ill with the tumours to date. Because Fibrosarcoma is quite an aggressive form of cancer, I am not expecting miracles, but hope that the CV247 will be able to slow the growth down to buy her more time.
She and my other two cats are not very happy eating the fresh organic produce that I have been buying them and have tried mixing it with organic pet food, but they sort out the freshly cooked food and chuck it on the floor and Jake, my dog, goes around eating their leftovers. So I have given up with the fresh food and continue to give them "Yarrah" and "Lily's Kitchen" organic pet food which they love. I have also been giving them mineral water instead of tap water but noticed on your website a lady stating that John Carter insisted on the glass bottle mineral water. So I shall now change the mineral water too! I have also been giving Cinnamon wheatgrass juice which was also recommended by another client of John Carter.
I keep the CV247 in the fridge as recommended by the Vet and I give Cinnamon 1ml twice daily within half an hour. I can only keep my fingers crossed that it helps her, but at least there is no nasty side effects that chemo can produce, so she has a good quality of life at present.
I will keep you updated of her progress.
