Great supplement for dogs with hip problems: Cetyl Myristoleate
A few months ago my oldest dog Mona (she is 11 years old) started
developing some hip and joint problems. It started with her dragging behind
when I took her for walks and then eventually evolved into a much more
severe issue. As her hips developed more inflammation she had a hard time
getting up. She would often moan for me to help her and then proceeded to
have a pretty bad limp.
The mobility issues of course really affected her mood and she started to
become very despondent. She did not want to be bothered by anyone and only
got up to eat and to use the bathroom (yes she is trained to use the toilet
;-) Just kidding).
I took her to the vet and he recommended the standard protocol of more rest
and glucosomine. He also provided some painkillers. I did not bother giving
her the painkillers as that only sugar coats the issue and does not get to
root causes. I got her on the best glucosomine product I could find which I
determined was GLC 1000. This helped with some joint pain she was having in
her front leg after several weeks. However, the GLC 1000 did not help with
the hip issues at all. I put her on some DHA/EPA (marine algae source) and
that did not seem to do much either.
I was starting to get worried that Mona was getting towards the end of her
life. For dogs mobility is everything. If they cannot walk, sniff, and enjoy
the outdoors then they start dying inside. Moreover, enjoying life becomes
impossible if they cannot even get up without being in pain.
I researched the hip issues and came up with too paths that seemed
promising. One was physical therapy, which I don’t mind paying for, and
committing the time, but it did not seem that practical. I kept that option
as a last resort. The other was a supplement called Cetyl Myristoleate. Here
is some info on CM from wikipedia.com:
“Cetyl myristoleate is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. It has
multiple biological properties, including as an anti-inflammatory and a pain
reliever, as well as being an immune system modulator. As supplied, it is a
naturally derived, highly purified, and refined waxy ester prepared for oral
administration. Because it is an ester form, highly resistant to oxidation,
it has a relatively long life in the body. No harmful short or long term
effects have ever been observed in humans or in laboratory animals, even in
extremely high doses.”
I put Mona on a dose of 500mg twice per day on an empty stomach. After the
first week I noticed that Mona seemed to have more energy and become more
responsive. However, I didn’t want to get my hopes up to soon that it was
the CM that was kicking in.
After three weeks the results were undeniable. Mona had much more mobility
and was no longer limping. She was able to get up with ease pain free. By
week five she was feeling great and was eager to go on walks twice per day.
It is all too obvious that she is much happier and is enjoying life.
I am going to keep her on the CM indefinitely as well as the GLC 1000. I
also added Curcurmin too her food for some extra anti-inflammation. In
addition, I have her on a very clean diet loaded with sprouted brown rice,
legumes, and lots of vegetables. This diet was actually recommended to me by
a vet that specialized in allergies. Mona has plenty of allergies, which can
also cause inflammation. So far so good and I hope this info helps other
dogs with hip pain.
Many of the joint problems that dogs have are due to well meaning guardians
that feed their animals commercial dog food, which for the most part is pure
garbage. Natural balance makes a pretty good one, which I use from time to
time with my dogs. However, like people nothing beats clean real food.

Meditation is one of the best things you can do to relax your mind and handle stress more effectively. High stress equals low DHEA, testosterone, and GH levels. You must get a handle on stress to be at your best. My online client Les Larson told me about this program and after only a few weeks I am hooked.
Just listen to the program for 30-60 minutes per day and you will notice a difference after a few days. After a week you will look forward to each session. I like to use it after working out or before going to bed.
