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 inflamed. 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 weakened immune system.
 

Chronic vomiting or diarrhea frequently go unnoticed. Depending on the severiity, intestinal wall inflammation develops. It can result in any number of chronic illnesses in cats. Chronic inflammation causes scar tissue to develop along the lining of the intestine. Advanced stages manifest as IBD. This scar tissue is a breeding ground for abnormal cell growth, which in turn often becomes GI Lymphoma in cats.
 

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.
 

What does the Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain know that doctors in the US do not? They say "90% of all chronic disease is caused by an unhealthy intestinal system". That would mean the first thing to treat is the GI tract. If your cat already has cancer, fortifying their immune system, by providing a healthy digestive environment, can be a powerful adjunct to traditional therapies. SBO supplements are clinically proven to restore and maintain GI balance. Given daily, SBOs will 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.
 

Cats with cancer often develop vomiting and diarrhea as a direct result of the medication insult to their already weakened body. Toxic treatment and medication further weakens their immune system as a side effect of its use impedes the absorption of essential nutrients and energy necessary to fight the cancer. Clearly, gastrointestinal health is essential to your cats' immune system, and therefore their ability to deal with the toxic effects of conventional medical treatment.
 

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.
