How to treat a tumour!
My vet introduced me to a wonderful natural treatment called Mycoplex
Coriolus, which is made from the Coriolus (also known as Turkey Tail)
mushroom. I've used this many times and have had excellent results
with it. It can either slow growth of the tumour, buying time for
recovery from, say, a respiratory infection, so that surgery is
possible, it can

growth completely, or it has been known to
force the tumour into remission. Nobody is quite sure why it works,
but the way it works is by starving the tumour of it's blood supply,
thereby killing it. Needless to say, the less of a rich blood supply
the tumour has, the less effective Mycoplex will be. In some cases
when there is no blood supply, Mycoplex will not work at all, but
these cases are less frequent. Mycoplex has usually done something
for my rats, however small the effect, and can work against both
benign and malignant tumours. It can work of both benign and
malignant tumours and although it won't actually shrink existing
fatty lumps, it can slow their growth.
Although I've never used it myself, Mycoplex Coriolus can be used in
conjunction with Maxigen 2, (sometimes called Maxigen II) which is
shark cartilage, it works by boosting the effects of the Mycoplex.
Both of these are natural treatments, and cannot be overdosed on, so
are completely safe for your rat. In fact Mycoplex is also used to
boost the body's natural immunity, so is beneficial in other ways as
well.
Mycoplex is also very good to use after the tumour has been
surgically removed, to prevent regrowth. Ideally the Mycoplex should
be started while the tumour is still small for the best effects to be
possible, although I have had some positive results on reasonably
large tumours.
Mycoplex Coriolus can be bought online from here:

Doseages are as follows:
Mycoplex:
Initially, for the first two weeks of treatment to give a boost, one
quarter of a tablet should be given twice a day, reducing to one
quarter or one fifth of a tablet once a day for the life of the
tumour or rat.
Maxigen:
Should be given alongside the Mycoplex, at a dose of one seventh of a
740mg capsule once a day.
Once the tumour has died, the Maxigen can be stopped completely, and
the dosage of Mycoplex can be reduced to a maintenance dose of one
tenth of a tablet once a day. If the tumour has been surgically
removed, this is also the dose of Mycoplex to help prevent regrowth.
If regrowth or new growth in a different area occurs, then the dose
of Mycoplex is returned to one fifth once a day, and the Maxigen is
restarted at one seventh of a capsule once a day.
The Mycoplex should be crushed into powder, and divided into doses,
each dose then mixed along with the Maxigen (if you're going to give
that as well), into something tasty for the rat. I've used the
following which have all been readily yummed up by my rats:
Strawberry milkshake
Strawberry syrup
Chocolate syrup
Melted ice cream
Chocolate spread
You get the idea. If it's something that they'd consider a huge
treat, then you only need a small amount on the tip of a spoon, just
enough to disguise the powder in, and they'll fall upon it with great
relish.
The only downside to the use of Mycoplex, is that if a tumour dies,
sometimes an abscess will form in it's place, but these are easily
cared for at home, as I indicated at the beginning of this document,
or can easily and cheaply be treated by your vet. Plus the fact that
they're a lot easier to deal with at home than tumours!
I hope you've found this document helpful, I've also uploaded it to
the files section of this group in the hope that it will save
someone`s rat from an unnecessary death. Please save it to your hard
drive if you like, redistribute it as much as you like, I'm all for
spreading the word, as these inexpensive products can save your rat's
life, or certainly extend it.
I have a website which shows tumours after removal, it contains very
graphic images of tumours, and other such things that I've had
removed from my rats, or my friends' rats, but could help you better
understand what it is you're dealing with.

to give them the best care possible, don't give up on them!
