🦆 DUCK + MICROGREENS KETOGENIC CANCER FORMULA

🦆 Duck Meat with Bone (80% Premium Lean Protein)

🥦 **Broccoli Microgreens Therapeutic Properties:
Sulforaphane - The Cancer Killer: Induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched
Epigenetic Reprogramming: Activates tumor suppressor genes and silences oncogenes (cancer-causing genes)
Angiogenesis Inhibition: Blocks the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors
Detoxification Enzymes: Clears carcinogens from the body before they can damage DNA
NRF2 Pathway Activation: Protects healthy cells from chemotherapy and radiation damage

Why It Works for Cancer: The single most powerful anti-cancer food compound in nature - backed by 1000+ peer-reviewed studies

🥬 **Kale Microgreens Therapeutic Properties:
Glucosinolates: Convert to indole-3-carbinol (I3C) which metabolizes into DIM - a compound that stops hormone-dependent cancers (mammary tumors) Chlorophyll: Binds to carcinogens in the gut and prevents their absorption Vitamin K: Activates proteins that regulate cell growth and prevent uncontrolled division (cancer) Quercetin & Kaempferol: Flavonoids that induce cancer cell death and reduce metastasis Carotenoids: Beta-carotene and lutein protect against oxidative DNA damage

Why It Works for Cancer: Multi-targeted attack on cancer cells through multiple biochemical pathways

🌾 **Wheatgrass Microgreens Therapeutic Properties:
Chlorophyll = Liquid Oxygen: Increases tissue oxygenation; cancer cells cannot survive in highly oxygenated environments (Warburg Effect) Alkalizing Minerals: Cancer thrives in acidic environments; wheatgrass shifts body pH toward alkaline Apoptosis Induction: Directly triggers cancer cell suicide without harming healthy cells Blood Builder: High in iron and B-vitamins, critical for dogs with anemia from chemotherapy Detoxification: Supports liver clearance of chemotherapy metabolites

Why It Works for Cancer: Creates an internal environment hostile to cancer cell survival

🌊 **Kelp Therapeutic Properties:
Fucoidan Anti-Cancer Compound: Shown in studies to induce apoptosis in cancer cells and prevent metastasis Iodine for Hormone Balance: Reduces risk of hormone-dependent cancers Immune Support: Beta-glucans enhance natural killer (NK) cell activity that destroys cancer cells Heavy Metal Chelation: Binds to and removes carcinogenic heavy metals

Why It Works for Cancer: Direct anti-tumor effects plus immune system enhancement

🍄 **Turkey Tail Mushroom Therapeutic Properties:
PSK & PSP (Polysaccharides): FDA-approved cancer treatment adjunct in Japan; extends survival time in cancer patients
Immune System Activation: Boosts T-cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages that hunt and destroy cancer cells
Chemotherapy Enhancement: Makes chemotherapy more effective while reducing side effects
Anti-Metastatic: Prevents cancer cells from spreading to new locations
Gut Microbiome Support: Feeds beneficial bacteria that produce anti-cancer metabolites
Why It Works for Cancer: The most researched anti-cancer mushroom with clinical trial data supporting its use alongside conventional treatment

Our Ketogenic Cancer Support formula combines highly digestible duck protein with Turkey Tail mushroom—the most researched anti-cancer medicinal mushroom there is, containing immune-boosting PSK and PSP compounds. Three potent anti-cancer microgreens (broccoli, kale, mustard) deliver maximum glucosinolates that inhibit tumor growth and support detoxification.

The ketogenic metabolic state is critical for cancer management—cancer cells thrive on glucose but cannot efficiently use ketones for fuel, effectively "starving" tumors while nourishing healthy cells. Turkey Tail has been shown in veterinary studies to extend survival times and improve quality of life in dogs with various cancers.

This formula also excels for IVDD and spinal injuries due to Turkey Tail's powerful anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, combined with the ketogenic diet's ability to reduce oxidative stress on nerve tissues.

**Pair with BullyBaum Ester-C Daily and IVDD formulas for comprehensive cancer and spinal support—the high-dose Ester-C supports immune function and collagen synthesis for tissue repair, while our medicinal mushroom blend amplifies the anti-tumor effects. Add our Salmon/Flax Oil Blend for omega-3 fatty acids that have documented anti-cancer properties.

"50 lbs of raw ingredients are used in our ketogenic recipes to make 12 lbs of freeze-dried complete food. Every pound will reconstitute to approximately 4 lbs of nutritionally complete raw food that can be used safely as a standalone raw diet, as a protein and superfood base for those who make their own raw meals, mixed with kibble for added health benefits from highly nutritious microgreens and premium protein, or used as a food topper to entice finicky eaters."

🍽️ DAILY FEEDING AMOUNTS (Based on Dog's Weight):

**Maintenance Level (Moderate Activity):**
- **5-10 lbs:** 2-3 oz per day
- **10-20 lbs:** 3-5 oz per day
- **20-40 lbs:** 5-8 oz per day
- **40-60 lbs:** 8-11 oz per day
- **60-80 lbs:** 11-14 oz per day
- **80-100 lbs:** 14-17 oz per day

**Active/Working Dogs (High Energy):**
- Add 25-30% more than maintenance amounts above

**Therapeutic Ketogenic Protocol (Cancer/Diabetes/Seizures):**
- Feed at lower end of range initially
- Monitor ketone levels and adjust as needed
- Consult with holistic veterinarian for optimal amounts

### 💧 REHYDRATION INSTRUCTIONS:

- **Mix 1 part food with 1.5-2 parts warm water or bone broth**
- **Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving** (meat rehydrates faster than eggs)
- Should have **soft, ground meat consistency** when ready
- **Bone broth recommended** for extra flavor, joint support, and hydration

**Pro Tip:** For picky eaters, use warm bone broth instead of water and let it sit the full 10 minutes for maximum aroma and palatability.

🥣 FEEDING FREQUENCY:
**Adult Dogs:**
- **Once daily:** For most adult dogs (mimics ancestral eating patterns)
- **Twice daily:** For dogs with diabetes, digestive sensitivities, or small breeds
**Senior Dogs (7+ years):**
- **Twice daily:** Smaller, more frequent meals for easier digestion
**Therapeutic Protocol:**
- **Consistent timing:** Feed at same time(s) daily for metabolic stability

🔄 TRANSITION PERIOD (Especially Important for Ketogenic Diets):

**Week 1 - Gradual Introduction:**
- **Days 1-3:** Mix 25% BullyGreen with 75% current food
- **Days 4-6:** Mix 50% BullyGreen with 50% current food
- **Days 7-9:** Mix 75% BullyGreen with 25% current food
- **Day 10+:** 100% BullyGreen Duck Ketogenic

**What to Expect During Transition:**
- Days 1-5: Body adjusts to ketogenic metabolism (may see slight lethargy - normal)
- Days 6-14: Energy levels stabilize and increase
- Week 3+: Full ketogenic adaptation - optimal therapeutic benefits

**⚠️ For Dogs with Cancer, Diabetes, or Seizures:**
- Transition more slowly (2-3 weeks) to allow metabolic adaptation
