Sanus-Biotex?

I have a 7 year old German Shepherd.  She is showing signs of degenerative myelopathy.  I have sifted through the internet to find ways to treat this supposedly "incurable" disorder.  Some of my findings have produced a product called Sanus Biotex.  When typing this in to Google I get a bunch of the same 2 page long descriptions.  There is a place to purchase this product but it looks like a scam site
http://www.degenerative-myelopathy.com/programs/

Has anyone used this product?
Has it been proven to be beneficial to German Shepherds?
If this is such a good product, why aren't there legitimate websites encouraging dog owners to try it?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading

Where can I get some Sanus-Biotex?  I have a toy poole that turned 12 year old in april. and he is on arthritis meds now. He has at lease two colapsed discs and The vet says most likely in the upper spine above his front legs. Yesterday i came in from work and he is not using his right front leg to walk he will stand on it at times but can't seem to move it at the shoulder to bring it forward to walk with it. I can move it around and bend it without causing him pain. I am wondering if this would help him stableize.   Please someone get back with me if you can. Vanees P

Always start by first giving antibiotics to your dog.  My shepherd could not walk or get up ten years ago and after one dose of antibiotics he got up and was able to walk.  If I take him off of them he goes lame.  It has to do with Lyme Disease.  I see many people put their dogs to sleep when all they had to do was cure the Lyme disease, which could mean being on antibiotics for life.  Now that my dog is almost fifteen he does have DM, and although having a hard time getting up he can still walk.  He is still on antibiotics.  I just tried Sanus-Biotex and have noticed it helping a bit.  Only been on a week or so, but seems to be walking a bit better.  Also, learn how to do physical therapy on your dog and keep walking them.  Hope this helps.

I have an 11 year old Bernese Mountain Dog with DM and I tried the Sanus Biotex two month supply.  I started slow with one tsp after meals(2x) and worked up to give two teaspoons after a meal in veggie capsules(easy to give).  After about a month she had stabilized and was not getting worse.  I continued and then wondered if it was really working.  I stopped for a couple of days and wish I hadn't, she went downhill fast.  I now just carry on with the same regiment every day.  She's has good days and bad and I help her on the bad days but all in all she is much better on this than not.  Some people expect a miracle cure and are upset when this isn't so.  Natural products work for people so why not give your dog the advantage of better health.

My ginger is facing the same situatoin.  I don't know if she's having a reprieve or if what I'm doing is working, but three days ago she couldn't keep her rear standing, it would fall left or right.  With the regiment I'm doing she has stopped swagering and started running outside at a decent speed.  Anyhow, I'm doing a special diet home cooked for anti-inflammatory and some certain suppliments.  Once I figure out exactly that I'm having an effect I will complile all that I'm doing!   Meanwhile,  there is a post on facebook where I'm collecting articles and will help anyone there with my progress with Ginger.  I think I'm onto something.   My regimend comes from two case studes where DM was reversed (so they say, but I think it's helping at this point). This link will take you to my facebook page, please message me and I'll share more of what I'm doing.   I'll post it here once I am comfortable it's working and others may gain from it.  https://www.************/bill.agreste/posts/10215573610005876
the *** in my link are automatic probably to protect from spam.  you need to put facebook,com in place of the ************ to get to my link on DM
Good luck with your Ginger, Bill.
It sounds like what you are doing is having some great effect on her health.
I hope she will continue to improve.
I will go over and ake a look at your Facebook page.

A very happy Christmas to you and Ginger!

I have no knowledge of this product, Sanus Biotex, and no experience with degenerative myelopathy in dogs.

I do know a little about herbs and supplements, their benefits, and whether they are safe to use for dogs.

All the ingredients of this product seem safe for dogs (if used in safe dosage amounts, and not overdosed)
....with the exception of ONE ingredient which concerns me. And that is PINE.
This may be toxic to dogs, and other animals. In the past, my dog sometimes played retrieving pine sticks (I didn't know his then!) and she did not suffer any ill-effects. But according to the Pet Poison Helpline -Pine oil is toxic:

That is absolutely impossible...I'm a vet and have recommended Sanus Biotex multiple times to people. I've seen some dogs with DM really improve with it. I know a few other vets who also recommend it and are very happy with the results as well. There is nothing harmful in it to begin with that would cause your dog problems.

Who are you kidding?   I should have known by their lack of customer service that this was a scam operating out of a private home. I bought their product and fed it to my dog, 3 days later she was throwing up all nite and died in the morning. I have contacted them several times since then and still they have not replied. I am trying to get the word out about these people on every forum I can find. STAY AWAY FROM THESE MURDERERS!!!

My girl did not improve taking this. I have tried getting a hold of this company by emailing, opening tickets on their website and even calling the number on My PayPal receipt. So frustrating that no one answers, I ended up opening a claim on PayPal regarding the discount I never received. Plus I just realized that my bottles are two different sizes. Also the Neurologist I took my girl to said he never heard of this product plus you should look into other issues that could affect your dog like spine injuries or ruptured disks that are mistaken for DM.

my german shepard started to show sign of DM in June 2011.  My vet said there was no cure.  I found sanus biotex, and it is now March 2013, and he is still maintaining very well.. When the vet told us in 2011 that Hammer would not be able to get up and around within 3 to 4 months, I figured I had nothing to lose.  Hammer is still doing ok almost 2 years later.  I am very thankful to Nick at sanus biotex and his crew.  cheri wolcott  markham Illinois

My german shepard mixed dog has degenerative mylopathy and I really wanted the Sanus biotex product to work. My vet was skeptical but I was hopeful. My dog has just finished a full treatment course of 6 weeks and I'm sorry to say she has progressed and now can barely get up. This product did not help improve or even maintain her status.
FYI the ingredients are lecithin, vit cginko biloboa, grape seed oil, milk thistle , pine, fish oil and b complex. I

I do feel this is a waste of money preying on people who are desperate to help their poor dogs.

We are ordering a wheelchair today.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news about this
