a firm believer in ivermectin, as is Marie, the lady who sent this. I am
by no means encouraging people to switch the treatments they use. I had
an inquiry about this and requested info on it. Some people do find it
useful to do. Billie

Subject: RE: homeopathic hw treatment
Hi Billie,
Please share with me whatever feedback you get on the subject.
I started treating four of my dogs like this about 3 weeks ago. Their HW
status goes from light to medium/heavy. I have another one I haven't
tested
yet and that I will start also on this if she is positive.
In my case, it is more a leap of faith, as I know of some people who use
this approach but never got a chance to really talk to them about it. I
AM
NOT GIVING UP THE IVERMECTIN!!! I am not confident enough to put my dogs
at
risk. Maybe one day, but not now!
This is the vet who sells the stuff:
http://www.nbwi.org/holisticheartworm.html
It costs $70 plust $9 for shipping.
Because I am a liitle obsessed with following directions exactly, I find
it
a little bit difficult to adminster, especially with 4 dogs, not being
kenneled, i.e. coming and going freely with all the others. Which means
I
have to separate them to give them the stuff.
Twice a day for the diatomeceous earth, twice a day for the Paratox and
once
a day on a declining schedule for the homeopathic pills (nosode.) They
recommend you give these things at least 30 mn apart from each other and
from food (except for the earth). They say you can put the Paratox in
the
water and it's OK if other dogs drink it. But I don't know how I could
do it
and make sure the ones who need it get enough of it, since I have
basically
15 dogs of different sizes coming and going and drinking out of the same
bowl. Therefore I squirt it in their mouths and they don't enjoy me
doing
this. So it all depends how you are set up! Maybe I should not be so
rigourous about the timing, etc... but I don't want to mess up!
However, if it works (???) I will take this any day over the standard
treatment!
The info online is quite limited, it's only 2 documents you will find
over
and over again initiailly coming from the rawdiet list @yahoogroups.com
http://www.danebytes.com/heartworm-cures.htm
http://www.vonshrado.com/PuppyInfo/Heart%20Worm.htm
I will continue to try to contact the people I was told are using it on
a
regular basis and let you know what I find out. Please do the same with
me!
Take care!
