Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Somebody in this group might know. I'd also recommend a called BeyondVax. They talk a lot about that sort of thing. There are also other natural pet care .

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Dear Sommer, (warning. possible s*i*c*de trigger) I believe the treatment for heartworms (which they can get in sand) is arsenic. I don't know where you could get it though. Maybe the (trigger) Hemlock Society?? There is a poison in blueberries soaked in water...it's cyanide. (from past years of using it as a herbacide, but the Indians thought blueberries soaked in water was a poison, too.) I don't know if cyanide works on heartworms. Does anyone? My cats had tapeworms (from ingesting fleas or roaches). The vet charged $45 to give each one pill! But, it worked. My cat recently was trembling, which is a sign, so I gave her a Sargeants. Previously, Sargents kind didn't kill them and they were exiting the body alive! The juice of figs will kill tapeworms in people. They are very sweet. Sweets can cause worms in dogs. I'm not a vet, but that's all I know. Take care you don't get them from handling, feces, etc. I wish you and your dog the best health Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Okay, I want to let you know you have no idea what you are talking about. First of all, dogs do not get heartworms from sand, they get them from mosquitoes. Secondly if you give a dog with heartworms arsenic you could kill the dog or destroy it's liver. If by chance the heartworms did die from this the worms would cause the dog to go into anaphalactic shock and die. Now, in the future you really should know what you are talking about before you give advice you obviously have no business handing out. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, and unfortunately it is people like you that cause many of the emergency cases we see every day. I really hope you don't have any animals in which to practice this great knowledge of yours. Oh and by the way, the entire message you posted was full of ignorant comments. Please, in the future refrain from trying to help.

Central Standard Time, lissalee_26 writes: Okay, I want to let you know you have no idea what you are talking about.... Dear Melissa, I live on the beach, and dogs here get heartworms from sand, and maybe mosquitos from our woods. and that's why no one lets their dogs on the beach. In 1966, arsenic was used on my uncles' collie and it did not die. The dose is too small to kill the dog. I study " alternative " remedies (why are you here?) Figs will kill tapeworms in humans. Cyanide is in blueberries. I didn't recommend cyanide for worms, but it was used as a pesticide for many years before it was known to become part of our food chain, in blueberry crops. You should study more Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thank you, Sommer. I sure tried. I'm sure you'll find wisdom in the advice of many counselors. Blessings to your faithful friend Athena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Melissa, You crack me up and your comments are true. I've used a cold laser to rid dogs of heartworms......plus adding natural herbs. Plus alot of oils for the worm to ride out on. I've used for years homeropathic and massive garlic and clovers to keep my dogs heartworm free. Anyway......................cold laser work great but great caution has to be used. I generally tell folk that its a great treatment for young worms but if its been a problem for a long time....cold lasrere and natural and your regular vet stuff works great. Am I talking from no experience.....no. Did you know that people get heart worms from the city water.....but they settle in the lungs? It happened to me.
