Species: Cat
Gender: Female, Mimi-chan
Age: Unknown (Rescued Cat) as of November 2022
Weight: 6.3kg
Condition: Lung tumor

Progress and Current Status

The tumor shrank and Mimi-chan is full of energy after two months of taking Cordy!

I discovered Cordy through an online search and decided to purchase a trial size.
After starting it in March 2023, the check-up two months later showed a significant reduction in the tumor size—what a surprise!

Her weight, energy levels, and appetite remained stable.

I gave her Cordy six to seven times a day, using the included spoon to form it into small balls, thanks to family support for the daily routine.

Medications from the hospital for coughing
Bromhexine 4mg, Theophylline

High-Dose Vitamin C: A Natural Anticancer Agent

It might be hard to believe for those hearing it for the first time, but vitamin C does have anticancer properties. The anticancer effects of large amounts of vitamin C are by no means weak.

The treatment itself does not require particularly advanced technology and can be performed in hospitals with reasonably equipped facilities. (Of course, training and study are necessary.)

Although there aren’t many veterinary hospitals nationwide that offer high-dose vitamin C drip therapy, why not search to see if there is one near you?

What is High-Dose Vitamin C Drip Therapy?

It’s a revolutionary and straightforward treatment method where large amounts of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) are administered via drip to selectively target and attack cancer cells. This new cancer treatment has started to be introduced in human clinics and is being adopted by some veterinary hospitals for the treatment of cancer in dogs and cats.

Features of High-Dose Vitamin C Drip Therapy

In high-dose vitamin C therapy, vitamin C is used like an anticancer agent. However, it is markedly different from conventional anticancer drugs and, when used correctly, is a treatment method with very few side effects and extremely low risk.

To understand the differences from anticancer drugs, we have compiled articles on anticancer drugs for your reference.

Mechanism of Action

Many people are aware that Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, but understanding the anticancer effects of Vitamin C requires some knowledge.

Here’s a simplified summary to make it easier to understand (although there are other mechanisms as well):

*Hydrogen peroxide is a potent oxidizing agent that is harmful to the body. It is also an ingredient in disinfectants (e.g., hydrogen peroxide solution).
*Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down harmful hydrogen peroxide into harmless water and oxygen.

Practical Application of High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy

Unfortunately, it is not effective against all cancers. It is currently positioned as an adjunctive therapy to standard treatments (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy).

However, it can be said that even chemotherapy is not effective against all cancers. Furthermore, chemotherapeutic agents are highly toxic, and there are many cases where their use is not feasible despite their high antitumor effects. Forcing the use of chemotherapy can not only increase costs but also potentially shorten the lifespan of the patient.

While it is positioned as an adjunctive therapy, high-dose Vitamin C IV therapy may be administered alone in cases where the patient is too weak to endure standard treatments, is elderly, or if the pet owner has a strong aversion to chemotherapy.

Future of High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy

Treatments like high-dose Vitamin C therapy, which are highly safe and cause minimal harm to the body, are desired for animals to regain true health. If research advances and treatment outcomes improve, there is a strong possibility that it may become a mainstream and widely adopted treatment.

However, there are challenges. To achieve sufficient effects, more than two IV sessions per week are necessary. The required frequency makes the treatment costly.

Moreover, it is believed that dogs do not benefit as much from this treatment as humans do. This may be related to the fact that dogs can synthesize Vitamin C within their bodies.
However, at the very least, it may be beneficial in improving the quality of life (QOL).

Rather than treating solely with high-dose vitamin C IV therapy, incorporating other alternative therapies, such as Cordy which has immune-activating properties, to enhance the effects can lead to synergistic benefits.

Synergistic Effects with High-Dose Vitamin C IV Therapy

At Cordy Laboratory, we have received multiple reports from veterinarians in clinical settings about the synergistic effects of combining Cordy with high-dose vitamin C IV therapy.

Malignant Melanoma: Skin Cancer

Malignant melanoma is a condition where melanin-producing cells (melanocytes, pigment cells) become tumorous.

Melanin produced by these melanocytes absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thereby reducing cellular damage caused by UV exposure and preventing the development of malignant tumors, among other effects. The darkening of the skin from sun exposure is a result of melanocytes working to protect the skin from UV radiation.

However, when these melanocytes abnormally proliferate, it leads to malignant melanoma, also known as melanoma.

Among tumors, it is highly malignant and prone to metastasis.

Melanocytes are distributed in the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and malignant melanomas often develop in these areas. They are especially dense in parts that get a lot of sun exposure, like the face, or areas with physiological pigmentation, such as the external genitals.

Malignant melanomas are more frequently observed in dogs (while relatively rare in cats), and like other tumors, the risk of occurrence increases with age. Breeds with a higher predisposition include Miniature Dachshunds and Labrador Retrievers.
Among tumors, it is highly malignant and prone to metastasis.

When surgery is feasible, it is the first treatment option.
However, depending on the location of the occurrence, complete removal may be difficult, leading to palliative surgery aimed at reducing volume, or it might require more extensive procedures such as jaw removal or limb amputation. Consequently, surgery might not be suitable for older pets, those in poor health, or those with metastatic sites.

Additionally, chemotherapy often yields limited results, and radiation therapy facilities are limited. Each session also necessitates anesthesia, raising concerns about its impact on the pet’s body.
