Answer
Hello Terry,

The only thing I can recommend to you is Transfer Factor which is an immune stimulant that helps fight cancer and helps balance the body which will help the other disease processes.   It is five times more effective than Echinacea in boosting natural killer cell activity in the body.  You could give him the human Transfer Factor Plus capsules in addition to the Canine Complete Powder (a vitamin and mineral supplement + Transfer Factor specially formulated for dogs) mixed in his food.
