Why Obama isn't caving
President Barack Obama's stiffening resolve during the fight over the fiscal cliff can be traced directly to the lessons he drew from his hard-won triumph of the 2012 campaign.
He whipped Republicans a second time, parried the best attacks they could muster, and is now demanding that they respect the victory, if not the man who won it. That doesn't mean Obama won't eventually compromise, especially with the specter of a renewed recession lingering just over the horizon, but his body language is a lot more combative than the kinder, gentler Obama negotiating style of yore.
Story Continued Below
His new toughness is rooted in the nature of his convincing November win over Mitt Romney. Obama was carried to the finish line by supporters after his epic flop at the Denver debate. That seeded in him a greater sense of confidence and deepened his resolve not to be rolled by a recalcitrant GOP, as he was during the bitter 2011 fight over the debt ceiling, according to interviews with staffers and friends for "The End of the Line," an eBook published in collaboration between POLITICO and Random House.
( Also on POLITICO: Buy the eBook 'The End of the Line')
After his 2008 win, he talked a lot about bipartisanship. This time he's determined to squeeze it out of Republicans. He believes he owes that to the people who voted for him.
"There's no doubt that he found this one to be sweeter than the last one," said one of Obama's top aides. "It was weighing on him how much was at stake, how much of his entire legacy was on the line. His legacy had not been determined by the previous four years; that wouldn't matter to history. It was all about the outcome on Election Day."
With that outcome now in the history books, the people around the president now see him as a Democratic Reagan, a resilient and popular figure who can unify the country — if only the dead-enders will give him a chance.
When the book's authors asked David Plouffe, Obama's most influential political adviser, whether the campaign's organizational success could be replicated with other Democrats, he sprang forward in his chair. "The organization doesn't exist without belief in the candidate … they turned out for Barack Obama," he said. "It was all because of him."
But the buzz from Election Day has proven to be remarkably brief. The White House has been thrust from its post-victory reverie into a Groundhog Day partisan battle that makes any talk of a new "mandate" seem laughable. Romney was a comprehensible threat Obama had gamed out for nearly two years. A fractious, collapsing GOP House majority leaves him in a much more dangerous and uncertain position, at least in the short term.
So far, he's staked out a tough position, refusing to get too specific on spending and entitlement cuts, and threatening GOP leaders — whose popularity is tanking — with the bully pulpit of his inauguration and State of the Union speech. But many Hill Democrats, accustomed to seeing Obama give in, remain only cautiously optimistic.
"So far, so good. [But] we'll see how this shakes out," said a top Senate Democrat, who is queasy about the administration's overtures to the GOP on entitlement reform.

3.3 Million Total Viewers Witness Movie's World Premiere
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 23, 2013) - The Lifetime Original Movie Prosecuting Casey Anthony, starring Golden Globe(R) and Emmy(R) Award nominee Rob Lowe, generated strong viewership in its world premiere Saturday night, ranking as the evening's number one telecast across ad-supported cable among Total Viewers, Adults 18+, Women 18+, Women 25-54 and Women 18-49, according to Nielsen Research. The film, the first to chronicle the controversial Caylee Anthony murder trial, averaged 3.3 million Total Viewers, 3.0 million Adults 18+ viewers, 2.2 million Women 18+ viewers, 1.5 million Adults 25-54 viewers, 1.3 million Adults 18-49 viewers, 1.1 million Women 25-54 viewers and 921,000 Women 18-49 viewers, with a 2.5 Household rating. Throughout its telecast, Prosecuting Casey Anthony grew in viewership across all of the key demographics, jumping +21% from the first half-hour to the final 30 minutes in Adults 25-54, +20% among Women 25-54, +17% in Adults 18-49, +14% with Women 18-49, +10% with Adults 18+, +9% among Total Viewers and +5% in Women 18+.
Lowe stars in the film as Florida prosecutor Jeff Ashton, the Florida prosecutor and author (with Lisa Pulitzer) of the book Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony, upon which the movie is based.
Immediately following the movie, the hour-long documentary Beyond the Headlines: Prosecuting Casey Anthony averaged 2.4 million Total Viewers, 1.2 million Adults 25-54 viewers, 1.1 million Adults 18-49 viewers, 854,000 Women 25-54 viewers, 786,000 Women 18-49 viewers and a 1.9 Household rating.
Prosecuting Casey Anthony's strong performance furthers Lifetime's ratings growth. On January 1, the season three premiere of its hit docusoap Dance Moms hit a series high 2.8 million Total Viewers, posting double digit jumps across all key demographics versus its Summer 2012 season premiere. In 2012, Lifetime generated its strongest year-on-year growth among the key demographics in 10+ years.
Prosecuting Casey Anthony reveals Ashton's own inside story of the notorious true crime drama that captivated and then shocked the world when Caylee Anthony's mother, Casey, was acquitted of killing her daughter, despite what many thought to be overwhelming evidence of guilt. But much of that "evidence" had nothing to do with direct proof of guilt, but rather her perceived erratic behavior in the weeks between the disappearance of Caylee and Casey's mother's call to the police reporting that her two year-old granddaughter was missing. The movie is uniquely seen from Ashton's first-hand perspective and takes viewers behind the scenes of both his aggressive investigation into Caylee's tragic death and the ensuing widely-covered trial, shedding new light on the many questions of what happened to her, how Ashton and his fellow prosecutors built and believed in their case, and why a woman so shrouded in suspicion was proclaimed innocent. Also starring in the movie are Elizabeth Mitchell, who portrays lead prosecutor Linda Burdick; Oscar Nunez as Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez; Marisa Ramirez plays Ashton's wife Rita; Kevin Dunn as George Anthony and Virginia Welch is Casey Anthony.
Prosecuting Casey Anthony was executive produced by Jean Abounader, Michelle Manning, Rob Lowe and Alison Cross. Peter Werner directed the screenplay by Alison Cross. Jeff Ashton served as a consultant on the film, which was produced by Fox Television Studios. Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony is published by HarperCollins.
Lifetime is committed to offering the highest quality entertainment and information programming, and advocating a wide range of issues affecting women and their families. In 2012, as a result of its aggressive triple threat programming strategy doubling its amount of original programming spanning scripted dramas, reality series and movies, Lifetime posted its strongest year-on-year growth among the key demographics in 10+ years, while also reaching its youngest median age in 16 years. Lifetime Television(R), LMN(R), Lifetime Real Women(R) and Lifetime Digital(TM) are part of Lifetime Entertainment Services, LLC, a subsidiary of A+E Networks. A+E Networks is a joint venture of the Disney-ABC Television Group and Hearst Corporation.

In the past, engine tune-ups were much more time consuming because they required a motorist to check a variety of parts. Engine tune-ups formerly included checking the distributor, cap, rotor, ignition contact points, condensers, carburetors, and more. Today, these items are generally no longer included in engine tune-ups because a vehicle's electronic control unit controls the engine timing. While not as many parts need to be checked today, engine tune-ups still include the inspection of a variety of components. These include spark plugs and wires, oil and oil filters, and fuel filters. Regular tune-ups will ensure your engine is running efficiently and reliably. Engine tune-ups can help prevent breakdowns and extend the life of an automobile. A well-tuned engine will help keep a vehicle operating at maximum performance levels, which is why routine maintenance is so important.
During a tune-up, our service staff will check your spark plugs, which are responsible for igniting the gasoline and air mixture that fuels your engine. We can also check your spark plug wires, which transfer voltage created by your spark plug. Old wires can burn out and cause a misfire. We will check the condition of your fuel filters, which help stop debris from reaching your engine. A clogged fuel filter will lead to poor acceleration and poor engine performance. Similarly, we can look at your air filter, which prevents debris from entering the combustion engine. Restricted airflow makes your engine work harder and causes your vehicle to lose horsepower. During our tune-up, we can ensure optimal performance of these parts and more. Please adhere to your owner's manual for recommended service intervals, and contact us when your engine is ready for a tune-up.
We proudly service the Engine Tune-Up needs of customers in Winsted, MN, Hutchinson, MN, Waconia, MN, and surrounding areas.

Gov. Haley, Sen. Graham weigh in on Christie scandal
Two Republicans from the key presidential state of South Carolina have different takes on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's bridge scandal.
Gov. Nikki Haley is backing Christie on the bridge scandal that is threatening his political future. Sen. Lindsey Graham says Christie's actions might spell trouble for him in the state that holds the first-in-the-South primary.
"I've watched my friend Gov. Christie work through a difficult situation today," Haley posted on Facebook. "He did the right thing in taking responsibility in a tough situation. That's the kind of leadership that earned him the huge level of trust he has in New Jersey."
Christie apologized to the people of New Jersey, especially those in Fort Lee, for politically motivated lane closures on the busy George Washington Bridge last fall. He announced Thursday he had fired a top aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, and severed ties with his political ally, Bill Stepien, after copies of e-mails revealing their roles in the payback scheme were disclosed.
STORY: Gov. Christie fires aide, apologizes to New Jersey
STORY: Key players in the Christie bridge controversy
"It seems to me that this whole bridge thing reinforces a narrative that's troublesome about the guy, he's kind of a bully," Graham told NBC News. Later, he added, "I think he's going to have a hard time in the South, I really do. The edge is part of it. You know, he's a little too slick by half."
Haley and Graham are both up for re-election this year. Haley, who faces a tough battle for a second term, is one of the governors that Christie presumably would be helping this year as he begins his chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association.

sodium iodide
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
a chemical element, atomic number 11, atomic weight 22.990, symbol Na. (See Appendix 6.) Sodium is the major cation of the extracellular fluid, constituting 90 to 95 per cent of all cations in the blood plasma and interstitial fluid; it thus determines the osmolality of the extracellular fluid. The serum sodium concentration is normally about 140 mEq/L. If the sodium level and osmolality fall, osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus are stimulated and cause the release of antidiuretic hormone from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. This hormone increases the absorption of water in the collecting ducts of the kidneys so that water is conserved while sodium and other electrolytes are excreted in the urine. If the sodium level and osmolality rise, neurons in the thirst center of the hypothalamus are stimulated. The thirsty person then drinks enough water to restore the osmolality of the extracellular fluid to the normal level.
A decrease in the serum sodium concentration (hyponatremia) can occur in a variety of conditions. It is often associated with deficient fluid volume due to diarrhea or vomiting when water is replaced faster than sodium. It can also occur in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, in the late stages of congestive heart failure or cirrhosis of the liver, in acute or chronic renal failure, and in diuretic therapy. An increase in the serum sodium concentration (hypernatremia) occurs when insensible water loss is not replaced by drinking, as in a comatose patient with diabetes insipidus.

Called also salt.
sodium citrate a sodium salt of citric acid, used as an anticoagulant for blood or plasma that is to be fractionated or for blood that is to be stored. It is also administered orally as a urinary alkalizer.
dibasic sodium phosphate a salt of phosphoric acid; used alone or in combination with other phosphate compounds, it is given intravenously as an electrolyte replenisher, orally or rectally as a laxative, and orally as a urinary acidifier and for prevention of kidney stones.
sodium ferric gluconate a hematinic used especially in treatment of hemodialysis patients with iron deficiency anemia who are also receiving erythropoietin therapy. Administered by intravenous injection.
sodium fluoride a dental caries preventative used in fluoridation of drinking water or applied topically to teeth. Topical preparations include gels (sodium fluoride and phosphoric acid gel, also called APF gel) and solutions (sodium fluoride and acidulated phosphate topical solution, also called APF solution).

My father-in-law, Grampa Mike, loves to drink out of jars. He loves them more than any drinking glass he has found, and that is what inspired this project. His favorite type of jar is the Classico Pasta sauce jars. They have a square shape to them which he finds make them easy to hold, they also have measurements on the sides which he finds handy.
I found this paint at my local craft store. It came in a set with a variety of colors, plus it is dishwasher safe after letting it dry for 10 days - perfect for making a unique set of drinking glasses for Grampa. The girls were very excited about doing this project for their Grampa.

Newhaven Software develops also specialized computer programs for the modelling of symmetry
properties of generalized regular polytopes in four dimensions.
Such objects with self-reproducing
feature are called eigentopes. They have the real (i.e. non-integer in general case) number of faces,
vertices, etc. and may be thought of as statistical hyperbolic honeycombs in a uniform 4D foam. This area
of combinatorics & metric geometry overlaps with the cutting edge of particle & high energy physics.
Since the first release in 2000, Odds Wizard has acquired over 20,000 active users worldwide,
and this number is constantly growing.
Odds Wizard has been fully integrated
with the bet optimizer Stake Wizard 4, decision-making software generating
an optimal betting strategy. Using sophisticated probability analysis,
it does directly instruct bettor as of what bet structure is preferable,
as well as of the specific betting fund distribution. Unlike simple programs
based on Kelly criterion, Stake Wizard 4 allows to use a realistic range
of bankroll growth, and to specify confidence probability of reaching
the target fund.
Odds Wizard has built-in powerful tools, such as Odds converter,
Performance analysis, and Tournament analysis.
Maximum possible value of an average factor of fund growth Z is achieved by the optimal
distribution of a bankroll amongst 2N-1 possible simultaneous stakes,
and is determined by the following expression:
where ln Zave - mathematical expectation of ln Z;
pi - probability of i-th event, equal to 1/Fi, Fi - fair odds;
qi - sportsbook's 'probability' of i-th event, equal to 1/Li, Li -
payout coefficients (aka line odds); N - number of chosen independent events.
Possible stakes comprise N system bets (combinations) of type (m, N), where m = 1..N.
Each system bet contains CmN m-fold accumulator bets. In particular,
possible stakes include N single ordinary bets, and one N-fold accumulator bet.
In general case, optimal system bets are not equipartitioned.
The proof is trivial for a single event with only one possible stake. In the latter simple case,
optimal stake is equal to Kelly's optimum (p - q)/(1 - q).
The proof for N > 1 is rather complicated even for N = 2. However using Stake Wizard's
multivariate optimization engine, one can calculate optimal stakes and verify the theorem numerically
for the greater N 's in few seconds.
The above formula means that Zave can be incredibly high, provided that one has
found sufficient number of appropriate events (Fi < Li).
But the price is tremendous number of stakes to be placed by the bettor.
For example, for 26 events having Fi = 1.5 and Li = 1.7, one should place
as many as 226-1 = 67108863 various stakes to achieve 40.2% of an average fund growth in a
single round! Practical constraints however, such as minimum stake limitation or the reasonable
number of simultaneous stakes, of course reduce the effective value of Zave.
These constraints are taken into account by Stake Wizard, and can be set as the program's options.
The new theorem empowers Stake Wizard 4 with an ultimate performance that could be never
achieved before.
2. Set profit margin to 10-20%, generate line odds, and open new sportsbook
without bookie himself! Serious bookmakers may use Odds Wizard as an advisor,
e.g. to correct an average market odds in a direction shown by the program.

Next Congress to bring diversity
The number of Asian-Americans running for Congress has more than tripled this cycle. The number of Latino lawmakers on Capitol Hill could be the largest in history.
And Republicans could break a major barrier by electing the party's first black woman to the House.
Story Continued Below
This surge of minority candidates in 2012 could usher in one of the most diverse classes of lawmakers to Capitol Hill, helping to alter the makeup of a legislature that hasn't always been a bastion of diversity.
"It's a great step forward for all of us when people making decisions for Americans look like Americans," said Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
The 2013 version of the House Democratic Caucus will also hit a milestone: White men will be in the minority.
To some extent, this is all simply a reflection of what America in 2012 looks like — though Congress has long been a lagging indicator of the diversity of the country.
But it's also by design, as party leaders have focused more than ever on recruiting quality minority candidates. This was also spurred by retiring members who opened up seats, and redistricting created new electoral opportunities, particularly in California and Texas.
Several of these minority candidates are all but guaranteed to be members of the 113th Congress. In the Chicago suburbs, Tammy Duckworth, whose mother is Thai and Chinese, is in a race that is one of the surest pickup opportunities for House Democrats. Tony Cardenas, a Democratic Los Angeles city councilman, is poised to become the first Latino congressman from the San Fernando Valley.
And still others are competing in the toughest, most closely watched House races nationwide. Democrat Ami Bera, an Indian-American doctor, is challenging longtime Republican Rep. Dan Lungren of California in a campaign that's attracted millions in spending from outside groups. GOP Rep. Mary Bono Mack is in the toughest race of her career against Democrat Raul Ruiz, an emergency-room physician who is the son of Mexican farmworkers.
"I think that people are voting for people who are competent and skilled and who are going to represent everybody in the district," Ruiz said. "They're looking for people who have a great sense of inclusiveness in the political discourse, and that's what I have to offer in this district."
On the GOP side, Republican Ricky Gill is a 25-year-old wunderkind with a chance to knock off Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney in California's San Joaquin Valley. If Gill wins, he'll be the sole Asian-American Republican member on the Hill — the man who now holds that title, Ohio Rep. Steve Austria, is retiring.
Gill, whose mother and father are immigrants from India and Uganda, respectively, landed a speaking gig at the Republican National Convention in Tampa and has drawn top Republicans such as Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to the West Coast to fundraise on his behalf.
"No party has a monopoly on tolerance," Gill said.
The most dramatic increase in 2012 candidates came among Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. In the 2010 midterm elections, 10 AAPI candidates ran for Congress. This cycle, a record 36 launched congressional bids, with 21 making it past the primaries to land on the general election ballot on Tuesday.
Five of those candidates are Republicans, and the rest are Democrats.
"It shows a real strength of the Asian-American story in a way that really speaks to a larger audience," Gloria Chan, director of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies, said of the rise in AAPI candidates.
The rapid rise of Asian-American congressional candidates this cycle came as the number of Asian-Americans nationwide grew more quickly than any other ethnic group over the past decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And the swelling Asian-American population has been a crucial voting bloc for both presidential candidates in key swing states such as Virginia and Nevada.
"I think the second and third generations of Asian-Americans' political participation is part of making a statement that 'yes, we do belong and we're part of this country and we need to have our voices represented,'" said Democrat Mark Takano, a Japanese-American congressional hopeful in California.

Japan's fishing industry, already reeling because of the tsunami that damaged tens of thousands of boats, nets, equipment, and harbors along its northeast coast, is having to deal creatively to stay afloat as radiation-contaminated water is discharged into the ocean near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Just under half of Japan's roughly $3 billion in annual food exports comes from seafood, but overseas customers are shunning produce and fish even from parts of the country unaffected by the disaster. The northeast region accounts for around one-fifth of Japan's fishing industry, but the disaster is hitting fishermen nationwide.
Some 18,500 fishing vessels were damaged or lost in northern Japan. In some areas, more than 90 percent of the industry was wiped out, according to an April 1 United Nations report. "The damage to fishing ports has also been severe," said the report. "Considering that agriculture and fisheries are one of the biggest industries in Tohoku Region, reconstruction of these sectors ... will be critical for the reconstruction of livelihoods."
'We have to do whatever it takes'
A 7.4 magnitude quake that shook Japan's northeast late Thursday may further complicate the industry's recovery.
Countries including the US and China have banned imports of certain foods from the radiation-affected areas, and this week India announced it was barring all Japanese-produced food for three months.
A fish exporter says he is now buying fish from the southerly island of Fukuoka, which is some 550 miles from Tokyo, "because it's the only way I can do business," says Shimpei, who exports to the US and asked to be identified by just his first name.
He usually works out of Tsukiji in central Tokyo, the world's largest fish market. "Next week I'm heading to Korea to start sourcing fish from there. We have to do whatever it takes," he adds echoing the sentiment that many fishermen have taken on.
"At Tsukiji, daily sales are down about 60 percent. At the worst stage, it was 80 percent. I've heard of about 10 wholesalers who have just given up and closed down their businesses – they felt there was simply nothing they can do," says Shimpei, who was reach by phone in Fukuoka. Many others are just hanging on and hoping that things will eventually improve.
Some fishermen say they feel heartened that Japanese chefs at US restaurants are explaining to customers that their fish comes from areas of Japan not affected by radiation.
"There are many fundraising events for the disaster going on at their restaurants and they're making a real effort to use Japanese fish for them as much as possible. However, many of our Chinese and Korean customers in the US are simply boycotting Japanese fish altogether."
Business is down about 20 to 30 percent, says Shimpei, "but we're lucky because of the support we're getting from US-based Japanese chefs. I'm hearing exports at some companies are down 70 to 80 percent."
According to Shimpei, for the companies exporting to Asian markets such as Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and Thailand, it's even worse. "At least in the US, businesses basically follow the guidelines. In those markets, they don't want to hear explanations that the fish comes from safe areas and isn't affected by the nuclear problem – they just won't touch it."
Radioactive waters
Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the utility that operates the Fukushima plant, said Wednesday it had finally plugged a crack in the seaside pit at the No. 2 reactor with sodium silicate, a form of water-glass. But it is still releasing some 11,500 tons of low-level radiated water into the ocean to give it room to store more highly contaminated seawater that has been used to cool the reactors.
Though Japan's officials insist the low-level dumping will have minimal impact on the environment, both local fishermen and environmental experts say that they are not happy with the decision.
A group of individuals who work in the fishing industry in the northeast visited Tepco headquarters this week to deliver an open letter to management, in which they called the ongoing release of radioactive water into the ocean "an unforgivable act."
"The water is being dumped directly into the sea without checking for plutonium, which is unacceptable," says Lauri Myllyvirta, an energy expert with Greenpeace who is currently working with the Japanese arm of the environmental organization to monitor the effects of the radiation leaks from the Fukushima plant.
"The information that has been released is alarmingly limited as it covers only the soluble substances such as cesium and iodine. However, there are other particulates that are being released in water from the plant, which has come into direct contact with the fuel rods, and there is no data on them," Mr. Myllyvirta says.
He also says measurements taken from the sediment on the seabed, where deposits of radioactive material are likely to build up, haven't been released.
While those who work in Japan's fishing industry criticize the authorities for being too strict in setting the levels of radiation in fish that are potentially harmful to humans – the same levels it has dictated for vegetables – Myllyvirta says they are not going far enough: "The Japanese government is maintaining as its safe level one that is double international standards."
"Cesium has a half-life of 10 to 20 years in the ocean, based on data recorded after Chernobyl. The highest concentrations of this are likely to build up in fish higher up the food chain, such as tuna. They are predatory fish that can live for 15 years and the buildup in their muscles will occur after a considerable time lag," says Myllyvirta.
Fishermen working in Ibaraki Prefecture, adjacent to Fukushima, this week caught specimens of an eel-like fish known as kounago, or young sand launce, that had double the new limit of iodine-131 in them. The crews have voluntarily decided to stop catching the fish. On Saturday, levels of iodine-131 in seawater tested directly outside the plant were found to be 7.5 million times the legal limit, though experts say the substance dilutes rapidly in the ocean.
The government has announced that Tepco is to establish a fund of up 1 trillion yen ($11.7 billion) to cover the cost of cleanups and compensation after the crisis at Fukushima. Provisional payments to evacuated households are already being scheduled, with more for affected farmers on the way. Compensation for fishermen is now to be added to the list.
However, even once payments are made and the area is declared safe again for fishing, fishermen worry that the stigma of the name Fukushima will now blight the local industry for decades to come.

Dog Bone Cancer
Veterinarian Reviewed on March 29, 2014 by Dr. Janice Huntingford
Dog Bone Cancer
Dog Cancer in our beloved pets is becoming more and more common place. There are a variety of factors that are contributing to the rise in cancer cases among canines. The really sad part of the incidences of cancer in our pets is that much of the cancer is actually avoidable. Vets have in the last few years been quite vocal about their concerns of environmental factors that are causing such a rapid rise in the various cancers our canines have been showing up with.
As loving pet owners, we should be listening and taking heed of the Vets that are addressing this serious issue. The incidence of canine bone cancer has risen 63.8% in the past five years.
Beware of those Household Chemicals
Dogs are twice as likely to get bone cancer as humans are, according to research. What is causing the dramatic rise in canine bone cancer? Well, according to recent research, it was found that the top cause of cancer is actually commonly used household cleaning chemicals. The next chemical that is responsible is lawn and garden chemicals. The toxic applications used to kill Dog Fleas and ticks come in third.
Opt for a Home Made Dog Food Diet
The next cause of bone cancer in dogs is quite scary when you really think about it. It is commercial dog food!
During another study it was discovered that the cause of canine bone cancer was the toxic ingredients that are most often found in pet food and pet treats.
One of the most immediately effective ways to reduce your dog's exposure to this type of carcinogen is to place your pet on a home-made dog food diet. There are quite a few recipes that are nutritionally comprehensive and that your dog will love. The websites that are focused on dog's health often have recipes for homemade pet foods.
Feed Your Dog a Carnivorous Diet
If your pet does have an incidence of cancer, there are specific Dog Diet requirements that go along with getting treatment for the cancer. Talk to your vet and ask for some advice here. One of the first things most vets will tell you is to avoid grains. Dogs are not meant to eat grains; this is not natural to their diet. Dogs are meant to be carnivorous. Their systems do not produce the same type of enzymes that humans do, therefore they are not able to correctly digest grains. Canines that are undergoing cancer treatments should be eating canned fish, cheeses, eggs, and meat. High fat content meats are especially good for them. Supplements that provide a high concentration of Dog Omega Fatty Acids and Dog Vitamins is what will help strengthen the canine after cancer treatment. There may be several treatments required.
There are times in our pet's lives that we have to make decisions such as whether or not to have the cancer treatments. These procedures are very expensive and most vets will allow you to make payments, but on the other hand, if the cancer is too far advanced to effectively stop it, then it is time to find other healing alternatives.
