the doctor? treatments needed for situations such as arthritis, borderline personality disorder, pms / mood swings, etc… thank you.

I have a retired Service Dog that is exhibiting large masses behind her ribcage and tucked under her hips. Which is a good possibly that she has cancer. I am low income, surviving off of SSI and a Single Parent. So, taking her to a Vet for testing is not a financial burden I can afford right now. She is still eating good, active, and very happy. While, I can tell she is in pain and is slowing down, putting her to sleep right now is not an option. She is an almost 9 yr old Border Collie.
Actually, the masses have been there for awhile. Its only recently, she started to limp and have difficulty getting up on furniture and use the stairs. I gave her an asprin on Friday, but this is not something I want to repeat, but it did help her have more mobility and less pain. A friend recommended Flor Essence tea to help with cancer and Zyflamend to help with arthritic pain.
The masses are about the size of gratefruits, but are tucked under the hips. There are several small masses on many places of her body. 2 new ones on the back of her legs, about the size of golf balls. Unless, anyone can recommend any grants to help with the testing and treatment she will need to make her comfortable. As for putting her down, we don’t believe in putting a dog down, just because they are in pain. Our disabilities we deal with chronic pain and have learned to deal with it, will you put us to sleep, cause we are in pain or help make us comfortable?
We will put an animal to sleep, if their quality of life is severely diminished. Such as not walking, eating, and not able to use the proper facilities. I put to sleep a cat last year, when his chronic health condition deteriorated to the point he was loosing weight, not eating, not grooming himself and not using the litter box. He had a Chronic URI, and the vet said when that time came to put him to sleep.

I have been recently diagnosed and did some research on my own and there is so much info out there. If you have RA could you let me know what has worked for you.

Escpecially in the ankles, hands, and wrists? Details=10.
OsteoArthritis to be exact.

When I was diagnosed with rhuematoid arthritis and psoriasis, and in the case of RF factor in childbirth: the common theme is: our body sends something to attack something that is good (tissue, joints, baby) misinterpreting the “foreign entity” by mistaking it for something bad for the whole.
This can be compared to the governments attempts to attack ‘obvoius” or misinterpreted dictator or terrorist regimes, or the DEA attacking the drug industry, or even religion itself attacking sexual preferences and lifestyle choices.
So aggressive atheism or nonbelief is basically conforming and imitating natural process, but are mistakenly attacking a “good entity”?
The cure for some of these things are on the horizon through science and politics.
When will religion and our concept of a God, be realized as good for the whole of society…and they start picking apart their own misconceptions of science and philosophy, as do religions of theirselves?
No I blame the government for following nature, and the atheists for copying the government and nature
ptah 31 – yes the evangelistics are always attacking the catholics, islam and christianity fight constantly, christianity attacks the mormons, islam vs jews, etc….that has been since the beginning

i am 32 years old and have severe arthritis. I cant sleep at night or do the things with my kids that i want to do. are there any natural methods or remedies for it?

I’m interested in anything anyone has to say about treating arthritis naturally (specifically, ankylosing spondylitis), but I’d love to hear any stories.

I’m trying to find more info on -

bromelain – expecially if you can extract it from pinapples yourself. Would it have the same effect if you minced up a bunch of pineapple stems? How much bromelain is in one pinapple stem?
