Sarcoid - the toothpaste experiment

Well I bought super drugs own brand which is 1450 ppm. Only been using it 3 days but I'm keeping a photo diary. Had a vet up today for vacs and he started telling me about treatments for the sarcoid, when I said I'm using tooth paste he looked at me like I'm crazy. He didn't think it would have any effect other than a barrier to keep flies off.
 
Sorry no photos but one of the ocular sarcoids seems to have gone. Well in its place is now a sore red spot.
Will see what happens with the others as Emil has a few different types. I guess that Makes him an ideal test subject.
 
So another update. Some more of his sarcoids are peeling off. This time different type too. It is making him rather sore where they have peeled off tho. So had to put sudocrem on the worst one
 
Hi, just been reading about this on America websites. Has anyone tried it on occult sarcoidosis or is it just the "warty" types?
 
It's day 33 and you can see the sarcoid has really shrunk (the original size can be seen by the colour change in the fur. There is a way to go yet

 
Nippy. Yes the one that has now gone was an occult sarcoid. In fact I think another occult has gone too

Wagtail looking good :)
 
It's getting there. Slow, but I would much rather that than putting the horse through the pain of the Liverpool or bloodroot ointment. It keeps the flies away too!
 
Yes, I have given up I'm afraid. The sarcoid has definitely shrunk, but the main nodule stubbornly remains. My verdict is that toothpaste most definitely has SOME effect on sarcoids, and I imagine can get rid of some types and have a shrinking effect on others. I think that I would use it again and will still apply it occasionally to my boy's sarcoid in order to stop it growing and causing him a problem.
 
Hi Wagtail sorry for bringing up an old thread but what did you end up doing in the end after the toothpaste? My boy has a few sarcoids and just looking into alternatives to the Liverpool Cream

Cheers x
 
I put toothpaste on Fattys when he's waiting for treatment my vet does not own a laser they hire it when they have enough to fill a day .
He had three lasered in September one under his elbow a sarcoid began to grow about three weeks ago on the outer edge of the scar we stared with the tooth paste and it's gone , I don't know if it's the toothpaste fatty has nodular sarcoids which often drop off themselves .
I have checked with vet before any one gets excited that there's no harm in this while he's waiting for treatment .
Vet looked at it yesterday and said no sarcoid there now so I have saved myself a bill this time .
I would not do this first time around mind but around £ 4000 has gone on Fattys sarcoids so far so I feel ok about using it in these circumstances.
 
Thanks golden star :) I think I will perhaps try it until vet comes back out (in a months time) and the sarc ex :) worth a try I suppose and he is insured so if it doesn't go or doesn't decrease we will go with another option. I would rather have them lasered off rather than the Liverpool cream x
 
If you read this thread you will see which tooth paste to use .
I would not do it though personally with yours I would leave it to the vet .
It's just after four lots of treatments to several sarcoids each time each time I thought what the hell and started with the toothpaste .
Vet said it would not harm she's suprised by the ' death ' of this one though .

The toothpaste shrunk the sarcoid but the last bit just refused to budge and so I gave up. So I would say that it definitely had some effect, but not enough to kill off that particular sarcoid. I would however use it again, especially on a smaller sarcoid, before calling the vet out. I absolutely hate the Liverpool and blood root creams. They make them so sore, and the toothpaste does not.
 
Hi,

I thought id share my story.

The liverpool cream only seemed to work on 2/3 of my boys sarcoids, i was gutted. They wernt huge but between 20p and 50p, most nodular and some varicose. I decided to re do the liverpool cream after the summer.

Then in april I got him some global herbs restore liquid, just to give him a boost, all it is, is a natural liver tonic. After the first 1ltr bottle i noticed a difference in the sarcoids so got another bottle, then they started popping through the skin and falling off, he must have had about 6 small sarcoids that had gone, the ones on his sheath also dropped off these were bigger, 1 on one side and 2 linked on the other. All that was left was one under his belly, a varicose one, about a 50p piece. I left it and at the end of summer put duraphat 5000 on it, it kept shrinking but i didn't carry it on. I use the restore every few months now to keep his liver happy which will hopefully keep the sarcoids at bay (working for me so far) then the varicose started dropping off but turned nodular, I was waiting to see what would happen and the nodular has shrunk and is barely there, hopefully it will go and that will be the end of the sarcoids.

Considering after the liverpool treatment its barely cost me any money im pretty pleased I have to say.

Im not saying it will work for others but you never know. I have quite a bit of duraphat available if anyone in Kent wants any.
 
I think its brilliant that these alternative remedies are working so well. There is much success spoken of using Turmeric too. None of them are as harsh as the Liverpool cream and we must rememeber how expensive that and laser treatment is with no guarantee of no recurrence of the sarcoids and there is of course no monetary incentive for these 'cheap' remedies to be proven cures.
Call me cynical, but that is my strong belief on the matter. It can be no coincidence so many are enjoying so much success; myself included.
