re: heartworm

[angel z]

hello magda,

i'm so glad to see this topic on here today. my latest little foster dog
was picked up by her adoptive family today and after a lengthy conversation
with them about what i've learned to-date on kibble, vaccines, nsaids, and
other crazy practices - she closed with saying that the first thing she'll
do is get the heartworm preventive meds/tabs from the vet to "protect" her
little new furkid. i felt the hairs on my toes rise (i only have two!).

but alas, i didn't have the information to give her about what "other"
options she could use INSTEAD of the heartworm tabs monthly or the 6 months
shot. could you advise, when you hear someone is planning on using the
monthly preventive tabs, what do you say to them to do what you can to steer
them away from that choice?

and secondly, i'm getting a new foster pup tomorrow who has tested positive
for heartworm. my rescue org contact said that he will need to be given the
anti-heartworm medication (which is the same as the prevention medication
and the pup will need to be kept very in-active for several weeks to allow
the dead heartworms to pe absorbed and not travel from her heart through her
veins and cause a clot). is this the situation you describe in your email
below? is this when using this protocol would be needed? would you be
willing to tell me how exactly you modified this dr. wener's protocol so i
can share this info with the rescue org. volunteers clearly and succinctly?

thanks for your help, again.

I don't particularly like the protocol, but the dogs I have treated are in
rescue operations and these places are not open to homeopathic treatment.
There is no possibility for me to treat these dogs in a constitutional
manner. It takes "too long" and it is "too much trouble" to stay in touch
with me and report every few days. All they want me to do (and approve for
me to do) is to "get rid of the heartworm". This protocol beats the...

I'll do the first part:

You, and whomever you want to convince, should check out this link:



The key concepts here are that heartworm is, firstly, VERY hard to
contract, not easily vectored, and two, healthy dogs with
fully-functioning immune systems will not suffer an infestation even if
they harbor a few worms. This will lead to a positive test, but they
may not become symptomatic, and the worms will eventually die of old
age.

Which would be preferable, supporting the health of the animal while he
disposes of the worms with the help of a nosode which encourages his
own body to do the deed, or systemically assaulting his entire body
with a poison which kills the worms outright and causes great
dysfunction and handicap to his whole health picture, not just
immediately, but down the road in the form of chronic disease?

An infestation must be carefully handled, as Magda said, but it CAN be
handled, and will respond much better with much less damage to the
animal with the homeopathic approach - just like everything else,
really.

thank you ginny, this is good info for me to use. very compelling and
succinct.

and langsley's website had wonderful information too. very, very useful.

i think it will work this time. i think the adoptive family might take it
into consideration

thank you,
