Luke Gilden -10 years old (is 1/4 Border Collie and 1/4 Smooth Collie)

Owners: Janice & Richard Gilden

My dog was diagnosed with splenc hemangiosarcoma on 1/10/13. He had his spleen removed, and we chose to treat him with I'm-Yunity after reading abut the UPenn study results.

Update as of Feb 12, 2013

Luke is 35 days past the day he presented (January 8th) with (what we later learned was) hemangiosarcoma. On February 8th, we took him for a check up to his vet, Kym Mitchell DVM, who is following him post surgery and is interested in the outcome of the I'm-Yunity therapy. She did a PVC (packed cell volume) and a radiograph (X-ray for dogs). The PVC was great with no change since the one she did 3 weeks earlier, indicating he is not bleeding internally. The radiograph showed no visible signs of metastases.

From an owner/parent perspective, he seems to be pretty much like he was before the crisis on January 8th. This healthy/full of life status allows us more time to enjoy him in many ways.

We are unable to afford a radiograph every month, but will continue to do blood tests on a monthly basis to check for bleeding. Other tests to assess the progression of the disease will depend mainly on his needs. But whatever we do, we'll keep you posted.

Because he has recovered so fast from the splenectomy, and he is not showing any signs of distress, we were able to take him on a trip to Pismo Beach, CA where he could run leash-free on the beach. (I have attached a picture of him there.)

We are optimistic ... but holding our breath for the continued good health of our beloved Luke.

I hope you find this story of Luke's progress helpful in assessing the effectiveness and value of canine hemangiosarcoma therapy with the "magic mushroom."

March 8th 2013

Today, March 8th, marks 3 months since Luke had his splenectomy and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma. We started him on I'm-Yunity one week after the surgery. Since that time, he has regained all the weight he lost, and, if we didn't know of his diagnosis, would not know he was sick.

Last Thursday, we took him for a check up with his vet. In general, she said taht he appeared fine; a 4-picture radiograph showed no visible sign of metastases, and all his blood levels were normal. We believe the PSP (or Magic Mushroom as we call it) is making a difference. Of course, we can't know for sure, but after the grim prognosis, it seems to be a reasonable assumption. We are crossing our fingers for Luke's continued good health.

Oiler Vantuyl -12 years old Labrador,

Owner: Larry Vantyl

Our Chocolate Labrador, Oiler, is 10 days post-surgery to remove his spleen for a bleeding Hemangiosarcoma tumor. The diagnosis blindsided us, a complete surprise, because Oiler, who is still quite handsome, is also very young and otherwise healthy for his 12 1 years of age. He was out enjoying a walk in the park the day before.

Our Chocolate Labrador, Oiler, is 10 days post-surgery to remove his spleen for a bleeding Hemangiosarcoma tumor. The diagnosis blindsided us, a complete surprise, because Oiler, who is still quite handsome, is also very young and otherwise healthy for his 12 1 years of age. He was out enjoying a walk in the park the day before.

I am a retired Echocardiographer and Vascular Sonographer, now on a fixed Social Security disability income, and my husband is a postal carrier for the struggling U.S. Postal Service. Our expenses are mounting on credit cards, and after this surgery, the cost of Chemotherapy for Oiler is prohibitive at this point - especially given its benefits and prognosis. The teaching hospital is not in our town, and I do not feel comfortable driving there alone, especilaly as winter is upon us.

So the articles all over the Internet about coriolus versicolor PSP extending life in canine Hemagiosarcoma seems like a miracle. However, your customer service helped us estimate dosage for his weight, and the bottle we ordered apparently will last him only 6 DAYS. So we desperately need options! Oiler weighs approximately 88-90 lbs.

Honestly, we are writing with the hope of finding financial help, a discounted program for I'm-Yunity®, even perhaps a cheaper alternative brand suggestion, or options in any form, so Oiler can receive this potential life extending medical treatment. He is the first dog I ever personally trained in assistive techniques [though he really trained himself]. I have fallen and injured myself multiple times; and Oiler is a master at helping me by smoothly pulling me up from a supine or seated position when I need it, among other assistive balance and support maneuvers he is still eager to perform. He is one of the loves of my life and I am so heartbroken

Update, Jan 11, 2013

Oiler is still doing quite well. He gets fed smaller, pureed meals with his vitamins and I'm-Yunity; plus we've used Yunnan Baiyao to help against any bleeds. Besides seeing his regular Vet, and besides his emergency spleenectomy at KState Veterinary Hospital, we took him to a well known Holistic Vet in the area who also practices Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. She helped me with some ideas for a more "cooling" diet for cancer. [Surprisingly, cooked daikon radish, among other ingredients, actually tastes good and Oiler likes it.] But Oiler loves to walk and he gets on the treadmill. He is beloved, cherished and still Top Dog in this household.

So thank you for your help reordering I'm Yunity. I believe Oiler recognizes it helps him because he doesn't reject it like he does many things. He didn't earn the nickname Spoily Oiley for nothing!

Hi I have purchased you product before & have been AMAZED at the results.My 7 1/2 year old Rotweiler cross 'maggie' was diagnosed with a aggressive tumour on her lip & given a maximum of 3months to live. It is now 3 months later & the large tumour on her lip & egg sized lump in her neck have dissappeared ! I just tried to reorder more I'm Unity but got a message stating you do not ship to our address......Is this correct ? I hope not! Faithfully yours Michael Zerafa

March 12, 2013

Just a update on Maggies progress - the pictures speak for themselves ! 100% recovery ,the only sign is a scar from where the first tumor was cut out. I have also sent you a copy of the report that was done on the original growth that was removed. A good friend of mine has been involved in veterinary supplies/drug sales for many years & is doing some research on the type of tumour that Maggie had,& will give me his unbiased report on his findings.

Shadow -12,5 years Minature Schnauzer

Owners: Pam and Sam

Aug 20, 2013

Our dog, Shadow a Minature Schnauzer, was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma about 3 weeks ago. She has a tumor on her liver. We chose, on advice from her Vet Oncologist, to use I’m-Yunity. We have been using this product for about 3 weeks. Shadow’s appetite, coat, and energy levels are considerably up from when she was discharged from the Vet. She is 12 ½ years old and still acts like a puppy. We have to slow her down at times because of the nature of this type cancer.

We are also using I’m Yunnity with Yunnan Baiyao, a product that controls bleeding from this cancer. So far so good. We will keep you updated

Mika -11 years German Shepherd

Owners: Sharon Benson & Richard Oikawa

Mika was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma

Mika is doing very well, at 3 months we did blood work to check for any abnormal signs. The doctor was very happy to see that Mika's results all fell between the good to normal range.

Oct 30,2013

Mika seems absolutely fine, she has gained all her weight back since having her spleen removed. Actually her vet has recommended she lose 5 pounds. It has been almost 6 months since her surgery to remove her tumor and Mika shows no signs of any illness. At 3 months postop we did a complete blood work up and everything was between the good to normal range (actually almost all were good. She is 11 years and 4months old so that alone was great news. I do believe that I'm Yunity is keeping her healthy.
