I currently have a tumor and cannot undergo aggressive treatment as I have epileptic seizures. In such cases, which type of Cordy is recommended? Additionally, are there any dietary recommendations?

For pets with epileptic seizures, it is advisable to avoid promoting blood circulation or stimulating the nerves as much as possible. The 'Organic Germanium' used in the Cordy series has blood circulation promoting properties, so if you use it, we recommend using Cordy without organic germanium. Additionally, since tumor cells grow by utilizing carbohydrates (specifically sugars) as nutrients, it is recommended to minimize the amount of carbohydrates in your pet’s diet. Dogs and cats, by their physiological makeup, require more protein than humans, so be sure to provide them with ample animal protein such as meat and fish. In particular, actively taking DHA found in fish can also help in suppressing epileptic seizures. We recommend using blue fish that are rich in DHA and salmon, which also contains the antioxidant astaxanthin. For more information about diet, please refer to the articles on our website.

Concurrent Cases of Tumors (Cancer) and Epileptic Seizures (Epilepsy)

We have compiled methods for dealing with cases where dogs and cats are suffering from both tumors (cancer) and epilepsy (seizures). Please refer to them as needed.

My pet currently has a tumor, but due to epileptic seizures, aggressive treatment is not possible. How should we handle such cases?

For pets with epileptic seizures, it is considered best to avoid stimulating blood flow and nerves as much as possible.
Organic germanium has a blood circulation-promoting effect, so it is advisable to refrain from using supplements containing organic germanium.

Moreover, since tumor cells grow by using carbohydrates (specifically sugars) as nutrients, it is highly recommended to significantly reduce the amount of carbohydrates in their diet.

Considering the physiological needs of dogs and cats, which require more protein than humans, ensure they receive ample animal-based proteins such as meat and fish. In particular, it is expected that actively consuming DHA found in fish can help suppress epileptic seizures.
We recommend using bluefish rich in DHA and salmon, which also contains the antioxidant astaxanthin.

At Cordy Lab, we are researching methods to improve the prognosis of pets with a history of epileptic seizures.
