My nearly 11-year old, 18.5 pound female pug was diagnosed w/ arthritis late last year. She also had been diagnosed w/ hip issues and general loss of vitality.
Once again, I searched EarthClinic and read about healing properties of Blackstrap Molasses and Coconut Oil. So, I bought some and started mixing it in w/ her dinner - generally 1 TBSP of each.
After several months of doing this and observing her, I can testify to how well it has worked. She is running around, jumping, just like she did when she was younger. Great remedy!

I too heard of coconut oils ' healing properties and couldn't be happier w/the results!! My Buddy is a 14yr. old Shih-Tzu. I have had him on c. c. o for two maybe three months. Now what I did not expect and had never heard of is how the healing seems to have no limit... For the last year I have been giving my little guy eye drops daily, a " Restasis" product for dry eye. lasts approx two n half to three mths, $35.00-50.00 . I have not had to use the eye drops since one month post coconut oil! I use the organic one $10.00 to $5.99@ Shop Rite. Now RFD previous writer said she gives her 11.5lb pug a TBLSP of each, ie: cco and molasses! I read it should not be anymore then 1 tsp per. ten lbs... Can you advise please?? Asap if possible.

My 12 year old, 10.5 lbs Chihuahua-Dachshund Mix, Amanda, was also diagnosed with dry eye. She has been on meds for a year now. I will try the coconut oil and molasses mix. Hopefully I will have the same positive results. Thank you very much for mentioning this. Amanda used to be a very sick pub and then I started to mix 1/4 tsp. of Bee Pollen (a perfect food for humans and dogs), parsley, broccoli sprouts, Nutritional yeast, a medicinal mushroom blend (for cancer prevention), Maca powder (for hormone balance)and and a few drops ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) in small amounts into her food.
Even though she is a very picky eater she tolerates and even likes it. Then I feed her once a week a can of sardines. This has reduced her very severe allergies to very low levels, and she has no bone or arthritis problems any more. I also should mention that she was almost deaf. She couldn't hear me until I was next to her. This has also improved to the point that she hears now as well as before. Don't know what exactly contributed to that. Maybe all of it. I also should mention that I feed her 100% grass-fed and organic beef (at Aldi or Lidl for $4.70/pound) cooked with vegetables, organic or conventional chicken, and sometimes pork. For worms and parasites I feed her some papaya seeds and pumpkin seeds in small amounts. I also fed her Green Tripe and Fermented Fish Broth. Both of these are incredibly health promoting for dogs, but my local source passed away and an online buy is pretty expensive. If you are unfamiliar with it, just research it online. It is worth a try and not expensive if you have a small dog. The power of food is tremendous for both humans and dogs alike.
Hope this helps someone.

What dosage do you take for dogs and for humans?

Next time skip or limit the quantity of rice!!! Dogs do not need carbs. The canine ancestral diet did contain some carbs, but only 14%. What your dog does requires is a diet that consists of: 80% meat 5% Liver 5% Other Organ Meat (Heart is muscle meat, NOT organ meat) 10% Bone..... ALL RAW
While dogs can handle rice, about the only thing they get from it is energy. If your dog bounces off the walls you should remove ALL grains and carbs from their diet and if the food you feed contains over 20% carbs and ANY grains switch to a food that does not. If you want to add in some carbs, the best source is raw (dog friendly) fruits and veggies. There are many benefits to adding these in to your dogs diet but they must be in a form that makes it possible for your dog to reap their benefits. The easiest way is to put them into your food processor. For carrots I find it easiest to use a spice or ginger grater to grate them pretty fine. Why? Your dog has a HIGHLY ACIDIC stomach acid that has a pH of about 1, but they also have a very short digestive tract. We humans have a stomach acid with a pH of about 3 AND a very long digestive tract. Humans have this set up because we humans were designed to eat raw fruit, veggies, seeds and nuts. It takes this long digestive tract for us to be able to digest and absorb the nutrients from the diet that we were designed to eat. For your dog to be able to reap the benefits of fruits and veggies they MUST be properly prepared or most of the nutrients will probably pass right through them with very few of the nutrients being absorbed by them.

P.S. I am slowly going to increase the amount of molasses I give the dogs. I am starting slowly because I don't want them to get the runs!

'D' bought & was giving *regular* molasses to her dogs, which is very high in sugar & low in healthy minerals ... I seriously hope she switched to giving them Blackstrap Molasses, which is much lower in sugar, & much higher in healthy minerals!!!

Wasn't even two days after putting black strap molasses in her food, she was barely limping. Didn't do anything for the lumps in him, but to be able to take her off painkillers!! Amazing!

In A Miniature Schnauzer, which is susceptible to Pancreatitis:
Would it harm her to give her 1/2 to 1 tsp of BSM for arthritis or would the sugar turn to fat and be too much?

I would like to know from Glen St. Mary's/Newfoundland about what dosage was given to the dog with cancerous tumors and how much the dog weighed. I have a 45 pound dog that has a large tumor and want to start her on blackstrap molasses ASAP but don't want to overdose her. Thank you.

I have a 16 yr old dog with golf ball size tumor on her leg and would like to try the molasses treatment with rice, along with her food. she is having a hard time walking at times and we don't know if tumor is causing the problem or her intermittent hurt leg she has had over the years.
How much molasses would you recommend to try with her food, if I mixed it with rice? My dog is 35 lbs. She has large tumor on her leg and I wondered if your treatment might help her tumor shrink as well as help with blood circulation to the tumor? thx, jen

Hey Jen!
If this were my dog I would try one half tablespoon into her food am and pm. I would also add one half teaspoon of turmeric into her food am and pm. Lastly, you could also try mixing the ground turmeric with castor oil so as to make a paste, and apply the paste daily to the tumor.

Dar Jen, some suggestions I am familiar with. I believe that a mixture of turmeric in coconut oil is good internally and externally. My latest experience is with turpentine of the quality in the turpentine section of EC. My big dog developed a hard small tumor inside his ear flap. I put some turp. into a dropper bottle and several times a day covered the site with some drops. The tumor responded almost immediately by bleeding just a little and receeding somewhat. But I will keep doing this even when it is gone, with Essiac added as a detox remedy. I give three to four veggies done through the blender and buy organic whenever possible.
I also give turmeric and coconut oil daily with nutritional yeast for the B's and kelp powder for minerals. I cook organic barley with lots of water to be able to give the famous barley water that is so widely known as having beneficial effects; actually I also cook small amount 1/half cup millet which is not much talked about as it is cheap. Two thirds of the world population are supposed to live on that. It has the same vitamins as apricot kernels for curing cancers. I also give grain free kibbles from Origen and soak these first in barley water. Please don't panic and let us know how your doggy is doing. Love, Om

Hi Jen, my dog's tumor is flat now and there is just a red spot to indicate where it has been. I was amazed how fast the thing responded. I will watch it carefully. However, the Essiac protocol will be for some time.
I do know Walter Last years ago wrote about blackstrap molasses as a cure from tumors. This has to be diluted with hot water and my dog and cats get it almost daily. BSM is good for the essential minerals. If my remedy had not worked I would have used Theresa's suggestion. Namaste Om

Is there anything I can rub on the tumor, in addition to giving my dog the BSM? He's got a tumor on his lower belly that's about the size of a big gumball. Also, can I give BSM to all 5 of my dogs, as a precaution?

Look into rubbing a mix of water and vitamin c powder onto tumours, I read this as a remedy for people, can't hurt to try it on dogs?

Hello Jules from Australia --- topically, cold pressed castor oil mixed with turmeric. If you look on EC you can read up on the posts on tumours. Internally turmeric and hemp seed oil with raw veggies, and scrutinize ingredients. Vit C , too.
The best of success.

Hello Liz, I give my dog Kyle 1 tsp of blackstrap molasses with his breakfast in the morning. I melt a spoon of coconut oil with the molasses and half a tsp of turmeric. I pour it over his acana. Kyle is about 55 lbs so I think I would give your dog half a tsp or just over.

Hi Stephanie
I have got rid of my bladder cancer tumors by rubbing Frankensence Oil on my bladder morning, noon, night. Also, I put 2 drops in a glass of water at the same time as rubbing oil. Just a drop or 2 for the rub. It worked for me. The brand I used was ** Now **.
Good Luck Stephanie.

Hey Dhuey!
BSM might help your dogs - if it feels right to you, go for it!
Please also consider the food you are feeding; if the ingredient panel lists grain or corn in the first 10 ingredients it well could be the diet that you are feeding that is causing the problem.
Consider changing the diet and also consider alkalizing your dog's water.
I had 2 large dogs that began continuously licking & biting all their paws, the skin of which looked pink & irritated ... until I eventually decided to switch from a kibble of rice & lamb, to a non-grain kibble. Then the irritated paws became non-irritated once more.

If a dog has skin problems, make sure it isn't from their environment such as cleaning & washing products you use, outdoor chemicals sprayed and their diet. Dogs can suffer from allergies & skin problems similar to humans. They may be allergic to some of the by-products in dog food, as well. Try using a natural type of soap, preferably in liquid form like a shampoo. Castile, pine tar, aloe vera, tea tree oil...all good types. Dr. Bronner's is a good brand. A wash made with green tea, stinging nettle, goldenseal root or Oregon grape can help. Just make a strong tea with the herbs & weaken down with some spring water & use it as a rinse after bathing your dog. Kelp has iodine, good for the skin, and it can be sprinkled on dog's food.
