Ignoring Lipomas (fatty tumors)
Is Not Holistic
Fatty tumors are unwanted whether benign or
malignant. When fatty tumors appear, it is a sign the
body is trying to get rid of unwanted material but
because it is out of balance it can’t process this
unwanted material through normal channels
(kidneys, liver, intestines, etc.). Since the endocrine
(glandular) and immune systems are usually not
functioning at 100%, the body does the next best thing
and tries to encapsulate this unwanted material and get
it out of the way through the largest excretory organ of
the body, the skin. It’s like sweeping the dirt underneath
the rug when you don’t know what to do with it. The
fatty tumor (lipoma) is that lump of dirt under the
rug (skin). The following holistic principles apply to
people as well as pets.

Surgically removing the lipoma, liposuction, salve and
steroid injections are all removal options but do nothing
to address the original cause of the problem. Modern
medical consensus tells us if the lipomas (fatty tumors)
aren't hindering or bothering anything, then don't disturb
them. Well, that's like ignoring the smoke alarm. The
lipomas or fatty tumors are a red flag that the body
is not in balance and eliminating waste properly. It is
only a matter of time before this inefficiency catches up
to produce something more serious, such as cancer. If
the tumors are signaling inefficient adrenals and
malfunctioning thyroid gland, what consequences could
this have on the entire endocrine and immune systems?
If the endocrine system is imbalanced, could this affect
the replicating DNA in the new cells causing them to be
abnormal (cancerous)? We holistically believe it is not
wise just to ignore the lipomas (fatty tumors).

Sometimes a change in diet will help. A better diet
means less waste material for the body to eliminate.
For people, this means no processed foods, eating
preservative- and chemical-free foods and eating
fresh vegetables and fruits. For our carnivorous cats
and dogs, this means little to no carbohydrates
(wheat, corn and soy products are the worst), no
sugars and no preservatives. If a change in diet
doesn't work, then a natural herb, homeopathic remedy
or other natural supplement might be necessary to boost
up the kidneys and liver function and balance the
endocrine system in order to get rid of all the lipomas.
But using these remedies is like putting your finger
in the dike to stop the water leak (remember the little
Dutch boy fable?). You’ve reduced the fatty tumor(s)
but have not addressed the cause. Our preference
over supplements would be a totally holistic
approach using whole food products which are
safer and have very little (if any) side effects. If a
glandular imbalance is the cause, one should
holistically balance ALL the glands and organs of
the body naturally.

To read a lipoma case study of how a Standard
Poodle, naturally and holistically, eliminated over
10 lipomas, go to: www.OptimumChoices.com/
Lipoma.htm. This case study will show how a holistic
approach can make a difference and how important
nutrition is in reducing and eliminating lipomas (fatty
tumors). These same holistic principles apply to
people as well.

In this holistic case study, all facets must be dealt with
and the entire body must be in balance in order to
achieve the desired end results — a total reduction and
elimination of all lipomas. One must really be patient
and keep trying holistic options until one gets the
desired results. We have learned that each animal (and
person) is an individual and what might work for one
individual might not work for another. The benefit of
modern day drugs is that they work quickly but they
sometimes have terrible side effects (even death). The
benefit of holistic options is that there are very little side
effects, they have a more permanent healing effect on
the body, but they do take longer than drugs to see
results.
