Product Description

DM Formula is an organically grown concentrated herbal extract in powdered form that is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Degenerative Myelopathy used to be described as ‘doggy MS’, but the disease is much more like the human disease known as ALS. Dogs with DM have a mutation in the gene that codes for the SOD-1 (superoxide dismutase) enzyme. Instead of acting as an antioxidant, the enzyme creates “excitotoxicity” by causing a build-up of glutamate in the spinal cord. As in ALS, that build-up is toxic to nerves, causing them to slowly die.

Laboratory testing has shown that certain herbs can help decrease SOD in tissues and help protect neurons from dying from excess glutamate. Some of the most powerful of them have been integrated into the DM Formula, which is an adaptation of the two-thousand-year-old formula known as Minor Bupleurum Combination (Xiao Chai Hu Tang).

If mutant SOD levels can be lowered and glutamate-induced injury mitigated, neurons in DM dogs that have not been fatally injured may return to some degree of normal function. Disease progression might be halted, and some animals may experience a return of strength and coordination.

Stabilization and improvement of DM dogs may be more likely if they are fed (as is recommended) a real food meat-and-vegetable-based diet, and if they receive physical therapies like chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, PEMF, and laser therapy by practitioners knowledgeable in the unique pathophysiology of DM.

  • Ginseng root
