Lymphoma is the most common type of cancer in cats, accounting for almost 33% of cat cancers. While lymphoma in general is caused by the same cellular degradation and malfunction as all cancers, gastrointestinal lymphomas’ development may be preventable.

Frequent diarrhea is a warning sign. Chronic illnesses, like Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD, develop when lesser GI illnesses are not quickly addressed. IBD in cats is a group of gastrointestinal disorders that cause the lining of the intestinal wall to become inflammed. Chronic vomiting and or diarrhea are the most common symptoms. The exact cause is often unknown, but unresolved food allergies and food sensitivities contribute to immune system dysfunction. GI Lymphoma in cats is often associated with a weakend immune system.

The jury is out as to which comes first, intestinal lining inflammation setting the stage for IBD, or the IBD causing the inflammation. Either way, IBD has been directly linked to GI lymphoma in cats. Chronic vomiting or diarrhea frequently go unnoticed, and at some point the resulting inflammation and scar tissue that develops along the lining of the intestine can cause abnormal cell growth, leading to GI Lymphoma.

If you take your cat to a conventionally trained vet that does not specialize in the use of natural therapies, you will likely come home with steroids for the inflammation and antibiotics to kill any pathogens. A better approach is to find a vet that specializes in natural therapies. They, too, might incorporate medication, but their first course of action is to utilize natural remedies like probiotics, soothing agents and herbal anti–inflammatories.

The Roll of Good Bacteria: The foundation of a strong immune system is a healthy digestive environment. By providing your cat with SBO supplements, you can help prevent most cases of diarrhea or vomiting from becoming acute or chronic conditions that can develop into GI lymphoma or any other cancer in your cats. If your cat already has cancer, fortifying the immune system can be a powerful adjunct to traditional therapies, making them more effective, and thereby extending their lives. The Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain claims, “90% of all chronic disease is caused by an unhealthy intestinal system”.

Clearly, improving gastrointestinal health has a synergistic effect on improving your cats’ immune system, and therefore their ability to deal with the toxic effects of conventional medical treatment. In addition, cats with cancer often develop vomiting and diarrhea as a direct result of the medication and radiation insult occurring to their body, which further weakens their immune system by impeding the absorption of essential nutrients and energy necessary to fight the cancer.

Good bacteria, in the form of soil-based probiotic organisms, are essential to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract. These healthy bacteria help your cat to digest more of the nutrients, fight disease, and normalize the digestive system. In times of stress or illness, the good bacteria in the gut die off quickly, upsetting the delicate balance between good and bad bacteria. This imbalance leads to your cat being predisposed to further illness, chronic vomiting and diarrhea, and a weakened immune system. By supplementing with a clinically proven soil-based probiotic products in cats, you will restore the natural balance in your cat’s gut. A strong immune system is the key to fighting and preventing disease.
