The 'NEW' Cancer Remedy.. Melatonin.
What is melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone that your body/your pet's body makes naturally.
It’s produced by the pineal gland in the brain, but it’s also found in other areas, such as the eyes, bone marrow, and gut.
It’s often called the “sleep hormone,” as high levels can help you fall asleep.
Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect against 'free radical' damage.

CONCLUSIONS AND PROSPECTS
The effects of melatonin on cancers have been widely studied, with a focus on hormone-dependent cancers.
Numerous experimental studies have indicated an oncostatic role of melatonin in various cancers, such as breast, ovarian, prostate, oral, gastric, and colorectal cancers.
The underlying mechanisms include several molecular pathways, which are associated with antioxidant activity, modulation of melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2, regulation of apoptosis, pro-survival signaling and tumor metabolism, inhibition of angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, and induction of epigenetic alteration.
Melatonin also showed the potential to be utilized as adjuvant of cancer therapies, through reinforcing the therapeutic effects and reducing the side effects of chemotherapies or radiation.
In clinical trials, melatonin showed the ability to enhance the therapeutic effect of various anticancer drugs, and might help improving the sleep and life quality of cancer patients.
Overall, the impressive efficacy and safety of melatonin support it as a promising agent for the prevention and treatment of cancers
Dr Jones comments..
Specifically it has been shown to be helpful for cancers that have a 'hormonal' basis..
Mammary gland Cancer
Oral (mouth) Cancers
Lung Cancers
Lymphoma
Colon Cancer
Renal Cancer
Brain Cancer
It is a very safe supplement that we used often in veterinary practice for alopecia (hair loss), or for dog/cats with cognitive dysfunction and difficulty getting to sleep.
If my dog or cat were to get cancer, I would definitely incorporate Melatonin as part of the treatment regimen.... It is very safe, and could be very effective.
Kind of what you want in a alternative treatment option.
