Most veterinarians typically have nothing\nto offer. Even the help of trained rehabilitation therapists may not be enough\nto stop the heartbreaking progression to complete paralysis. What if that\ndecline could be halted? What if we could even turn back the clock a little\nbit in DM dogs? DM used to be described as ‘doggy MS’, but the disease is much\nmore like the human disease known as ALS. Dogs with DM have a mutation in the\ngene that codes for the SOD-1 (superoxide dismutase) enzyme. Instead of acting\nas an antioxidant, the enzyme creates “excitotoxicity” by causing a build up\nof glutamate in the spinal cord. As in ALS, that build up is toxic to nerves,\ncausing them to slowly die. There’s no highly effective drug for ALS that we\ncan borrow for the treatment of DM, but plenty of research has demonstrated\nthe possible utility of plants for the condition. Laboratory testing has shown\nthat certain herbs can help decrease SOD in tissues and help protect neurons\nfrom dying from excess glutamate. We’ve integrated some of the most powerful\nof them into the DM Formula, which is an adaptation of the two-thousand-year-\nold formula known as Minor Bupleurum Combination (Xiao Chai Hu Tang). If\nmutant SOD levels can be lowered and glutamate-induced injury mitigated,\nneurons in DM dogs that have not been fatally injured may return to some\ndegree of normal function. Disease progression might be halted, and some\nanimals may experience a return of strength and coordination. Stabilization\nand improvement of DM dogs may be more likely if the patient is fed a real\nfood diet that lowers the risk of oxidative stress and spinal cord\ninflammation. Improvement is also more likely if the patient is under the care\nof a rehabilitation therapist or physiotherapist. Specific treatments that may\nhelp include mobilization of the spine using massage and gentle chiropractic;\nthe reduction of cord inflammation using anti-inflammatory acupuncture and\nlaser treatments; and the reduction of oxidative stress using ozone therapy.\nAs a suggested starting dose, give twice daily as follows: Up to 15 pounds:\n1\/8 tsp 15 to 40 pounds: 1\/4 tsp 40 to 70 pounds: 1\/2 tsp 70 to 110 pounds:\n3\/4 tsp Over 110 pounds: 1 tsp If benefits are not seen, the dose can be\nsafely doubled.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eDM Formula supports dogs with degenerative myelopathy.
