Large sarcoid and crest toothpaste, result!

I am currently trying the tooth paste treatment on a golf ball fibroplastic sarcoid on my mares chest. I am also giving the Global Herbs Sarcex with immuplus to treat from inside out. This is why I asked about posting pictures. I am 5 days into this regime. Will keep you posted as to how it progresses. If you pm me I will send you pics.
 
I'm 3 days in on the crest toothpaste treatment. I took photos before and will take a photo 2 weeks in.

The crest is now just a matted mound on his side where the sarcoid is. He keeps trying to scratch it with his teeth as in its itching under that mound, thankfully he can't reach it so no biting the top off and eating all the minty toothpaste!

Will keep you posted as we go. ;);):)
 
We now have a massive clump of toothpaste on his side. I keep adding to the top of it but it just adds to the clump.

Should it be like this or should i every so many days remove the clump and start again?
 
I didn,t remove it, I just kept the thing smothered, after a week of doing that it started to look withered and dead looking and by the end of the second week it came off!
 
Thanks pines of romes :D

I can't see it under the clump so can't tell whats happening under there at all!:eek: It must be doing something as he occationally tries to scratch it with his teeth:confused:

Not done a week yet so will see what happens in a couple more days. Have taken a photo of it before so hopefully can show how it has progressed.

Thanks again. :)
 
I personally would take the toothpaste off every day and put a fresh amount on.
I have now got about 10 no of Duraphat 5000 if anyone is in Kent I will be happy to give them one.
My boy had Liverpool cream and only one sarcoid fell off,a varicose one,the nodulars just got bigger.
Apparantly the Duraphat works well on the flat types of sarcoids,I will put it on a few nodular ones my boy has when I get back from holiday at the end of the month.
Having him on the global herbs restore really helped too. One of the irritating nodular ones has finally dropped off,so pleased.
 
My horse had a marble shaped one under his eye, I carefully applied crest onto it avoiding the eye for a fortnight without removing any and it came off! Great as the vet said Liverpool would be very dangerous to apply in that region! Happy!
 
Well I removed the toothpaste after doing about 2 and half weeks of adding it.

Mid way through I cleared part of the toothpaste off and a gloopy lump of black rubbery kind of substance came off with the first clearing of the toothpaste but I never got to the main part where the sarcoid was as the toothpaste was stuck fast in his fur ...(note to self.... next time shave the area around!).

I continued adding the toothpaste and didn't remove till Monday this week. Completely removed it by very carefully cutting fur around and the lump was filled with green pus and goo and the sarcoid was gone..... but I was left with a pink nodule that was bleeding. It was proud flesh growing out of where the sarcoid was.

The lump and root that was behind the sarcoid is gone, the proud flesh is drying up and it looks a whole lot healthier under there just 2 days after removing the toothpaste. :D:D I will see how the proud flesh heals before claiming success with toothpaste but so far so good!

I will do the same with one nodular one his has on side of his face and one on front of his nose. I will this time shave the area of hair so we done have this issue with removing with scissors so near his eye! :eek:

Need to order some more toothpaste now! :p
 
Just found this thread and intrigued to say the least, my boy has a sarcoid behind his ear which has grown substantially in the short time we have had him, does anyone have any before/after pics? worried about leaving a 'hole' as someone said as would be difficult to bandage, must be something in it though with so much success in such a small group of people?
 
Thanks well do use the duraphat toothpaste from the dentist so I am going to give it a try, my boy is only 5 so last thing I want is to make him scared of the vet, they do a monthly visit to the yard, so this .month will make sure I am around to ask them if they heard of this, but the toothpaste can't hurt?
 
Ill get some pics added we used the crest toothpast and then plaiting bands.... now its off, still looking after it for now but its a million times better... doesnt seem to be working on the flat ones though....

Has anyone used sarc ex with any decent results?
 
Well its totally off now....

just need to treat this nit as a 'm
normal' wound now :)
 
It is the scouring effect that the abrasives in the toothpaste have that gets rid of the sarcoids and not necessary that it is toothpaste as such. I ams guessing that the reason its Crest and not Colgate or something else is that it contains more abrasives than other brands.

Abrasives constitute at least 50% of a typical toothpaste. These insoluble particles help remove plaque from the teeth. Abrasives are usually particles of aluminum hydroxide and calcium hydrogen phosphates. Abrasives, like the dental polishing agents used in dentists' offices, also cause a small amount of enamel erosion which is termed "polishing" action. Some brands contain powdered white mica, which acts as a mild abrasive, and also adds a cosmetically pleasing glittery shimmer to the paste.


But I also think it is the rubbing action used. I used vitamin e cream on a previous horses sarcoid and within a week it had come off. It was probably a 7-8mm size. But I think this was due to the rubbing action and not that it had any abrasives in it.
 
I have not used crest, I have been advised by a vet that Colgate Duraphat 5000 is the best, its a human prescription toothpaste. I have a fair amount now so am waiting until I can put it on every day and will start. So by the end of this month. I have a varicose and a nodular, also some tiny nodulars which are right at the end of his sheath so I need to be careful. I am also using Global Herbs Restore to keep him feeling good while I do it. I need his immune system to help.

Duraphat contains 5000ppm sodium flouride which is the highest I believe.
1 gram contains 5mg of flouride.

I dont think the rubbing action means anything, realistically you can rub/pull a nodular off however this is not a good idea in most cases.
 
Hi Jo, If you have time will you take pictures before you start and as you are going along so we can see how it is working please :)
 
my boys now living out and hates me going near his sarcoids, its getting too dangerous to put the toothpaste on as he strikes out at me, i think hes just totally fed up with having people prod and poke them so iv bought some sarc-ex powder to try and treat him from the inside, iv heard it brings good results, fingers xd!
 
Can anyone tell me how to add pics on here?
I have a pic of the sarcoid now, it took me 3 weeks of colgate duraphat 5000 and the sarcoid has fallen off. I have got him on Global Herbs restore too (liquid) just to keep him boosted while he fights it. Just looks sore now so will treat it as a wound and keep the flies away, luckily its raining tomorrow and ill be back at the yard saturday and decide what to do. Just have a couple left on his sheath now then hell be sarcoid free, however I don't fancy trying to put any cream on that one, hes not a fan of anyone going near it, probably due to the liverpool cream previously.

I know I am resurrecting a zombie thread here but I thought I'd do that rather than start one of my own because I am particularly interested whether any of the original posters who used Crest on sarcoids could come back and update on whether the treatment has been successful longer term - so whether or not the sarcoids have returned?

My mare has about 7 small nodular sarcoids along her belly, and an occult over her eye. All are small and cause no trouble so I am on the one hand happy to leave alone and not aggravate them but just keep and eye on them, but on the other hand I would rather they were gone so if this works long term and does not have some kind of awful effect where they pop up in new locations after treatment (like the Liverpool cream can do), then I would be interested to give it a try.
 
I t was me that started this thread and I am pleased to say that the sarcoid has not returned in the same spot, he does have another small one on another area, but that seems to stay the same atm, so I just keep an eye on it and I will leave it alone unless it grows!
 
Thank you for replying! That is great, I have ordered some from Amazon, having read this thread and other things about the various treatment options it seems like Crest is the best treatment for success without side effects so will give it a go :)
