Has anyone heard anything about using black seed oil as a health supplement for rats? I know everyone is fawning over its use for dogs currently and I'm always up for adding more supplements to my ratties food (I SWEAR by flax seed and flax seed oil btw, I don't pay any mind to the controversy - it literally destroys mammary tumors in a matter of months). I haven't really been able to find much information about the actual benefits of black seed in rats anywhere, just that in lab studies it proved to be perfectly safe to consume regarding kidney and general digestive system function, so I'm posting around. Replies or help looking into it would be much appreciated <3
Honestly the rat and canine diet is fairly similar except how canines need mainly protein and rats carbs. Id say really just to try it on your own. I always experiment with my pets food ( especially in my pigeons as they are super finicky eaters) and if you know its safe then do it!
On the whole tumour and cancer topic, has anyone seen the studies on dairy and cancer growths? Terrifying!
Its super old, and i stumbled upon it because im vegan and often see these things while researching. They took two cancer free rats, whi's parents had the gene and gave obe a diet with 20% of casien ( milk protein) and one 5%. The 20% one within weeks developed early staged tumours! While the 5% one stayed completely the same. Then, when their diets were switched, the niw cancerious rat was changed from 20% to 5% which caused a reversal of their cancer. Again within weeks thery were cancer free as previously. The 5% one that was switched to 20% as expected developed cancer.
I mean their genes is just one thing, we have found with every species that cancer is greatly influenced by what you eat. So how many rats could be saved from cancer if they were fed better food?
Of course that doesnt necessarily mean vegan, as i feed my dog meat because i know she needs it, but really could rats be vegan? I always wonder what people think about this. When looking on how to keep my future rats healthy ( as my other ones i had a few years ago died from health reasons) and decided maybe to try them not having meat ir dairy products, maybe just the occasional egg from my backyard chickens, the breeder i was looking at said she wouldn't sell them to me if i did this!
Does anyone else have any views on this particular subject, not veganism, but just diet in relation to cancer?
