Roosters owner First came to me be back in very early 2019 to work on formulating the Ketogenic diet properly. Fast forward over 2 years and Rooster is still doing great despite his original prognosis by their vet only being less than 2 months to live from metastatic histiocytic sarcoma.

update from Roosters owner 5/21/2021:
““Rooster was diagnosed with metastatic histiocytic sarcoma at just 6 years old in January 2018. He had two distinct large masses in his abdomen. Our veterinarian told us surgery was not an option and there wasn’t a viable chemotherapy option. They gave him less than two months to live. We switched Rooster to a ketogenic diet as soon as we did a little dietary research. It was very difficult at first, trying to keep up with weight changes, picky protein eating and ketosis, but Rooster’s tumors began to shrink. A second opinion set us up for a well-rounded, multi-angled attack with chemo, Chinese herbs, mushrooms and turmeric paste, joined together with a whole new approach to feeding. As we backed off the chemo, we were stunned at how much the tumors continued to shrink. The diet was working! Within a year, the tumors were completely gone! Rooster has been cancer-free since March 2019 and will celebrate his 10th birthday in August (2021)! We don’t want to rock the boat or change a thing, so Mike helped us balance his long-term keto diet with critical vitamins, minerals and amino acid supplements. Mike’s help and this diet made all the difference in Rooster’s cancer fight. It is still hard work, but worth the effort in every way. With gratitude, Meghan, Marcus & Rooster Hodge (& fur-sister Roxie, too)

My thoughts: Now imagine if Roosters owner just went home that dreadful day in 2018 and just threw her hands up in defeat because of that prognosis and started feeding Rooster pup-cups from Starbucks and big old bags of ol’roy dog treats. We’d expect an entirely different outcome.
Never give up 🙏
