Natural Heartworm Prevention
Most of you use a monthly pill to prevent heartworms, but in actuality you're not preventing them; you are administering a low dose of the treatment on a regular basis. This treatment for heartworm is toxic. It contains a chemical insecticide. Administered month after month, the toxic side-effects become a serious health risk.
Side effects listed for heartworm preventative drugs are: vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and weakness. These pills weaken your pet's immune system which recognizes the chemicals as poison. The body works hard to eliminate the toxins and major organs, like the liver and kidneys, are taxed. For this reason, the pet's body is not able to handle contact with the normal bacterial or viral substances in our world, so it gets sick more easily.
Long-term use of heartworm prevention drugs are linked to arthritis, liver and kidney diseases, skin allergies, and many types of cancers.
Real Prevention begins with a good diet, a strong immune system and a natural dewormer (The Parasite Dr).
1. A healthy diet is the best medicine!
Holistic vets agree that processed commercial pet foods are one of the factors undermining pet health. A diet consisting mostly of raw food and fresh water is one of the best things you can give your pet to protect him against all sorts of infection, including heartworm. Dogs will thrive on raw meat, raw bones and grated raw vegetables. Cats are largely carnivorous so need a diet of mainly raw meat. Include soft raw bones like chicken necks and add chicken giblets whenever possible. A little bonemeal can be added to the food as well as small amounts of grated vegetables. For cats and dogs, avoid milk and food containing sugar, as well as artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. We recommend Flint River Ranch for those of you that don’t want to do a raw food diet or have the time to cook for your pets. See our Pet Food page for more info.
2. A healthy immune system will protect animals against parasites like heartworm, fleas and ticks.
An animal with a healthy immune system will be less likely to become infected with internal parasites, including heartworm. Mosquitoes are less likely to bite healthy animals. In addition, the healthy animal’s own defense system is able to kill off the larvae of any heartworm that may enter the bloodstream, thus preventing them from reaching maturity and causing harm.
Factors that will weaken your pet’s immune system include frequent vaccination, commercial pet foods, incorrect diet, stress and even conventional heartworm and flea treatment.
The only vaccine required in the State of Florida is Rabies. We recommend the 3 year rabies vaccine so you only have to vaccinate once every 3 years. Only vaccinate for Parvo and Distemper as a puppy or kitten. All other vaccines are unnecessary as an adult. Read more about it in the book Stop the Shots…Are Vaccines Killing our Pets. Available for $11 online.
A healthy liver is one of the foundations of a healthy body and helps to prevent the animal against illness and remove waste and toxins from the system, but if overloaded with annual vaccines and an unhealthy diet, monthly pesticides and environmental stress will become weak and break down.
3. Prevention in areas with high risk of heartworm infestation
If you live in a high risk area for heartworm, it is advisable to take precautions and to have your pet regularly checked - prevention is better than the treatment. Regular use of the Parasite Dr. can help to prevent infestation by heartworms and also improve the health of your animal. Because the herbs in Parasite Dr. contain bitter principles, this has the added benefit of making the animal less attractive to pests like mosquitoes, ticks and fleas, thereby reducing the risk of being bitten by a heartworm infested mosquito. The ingredients in Parasite Dr. also have natural anti-parasitic properties and can help to kill and expel the worms from the body. Parasite Dr. can be used regularly in order to prevent heartworm and other parasite infection and kill any larvae existing in the blood. Under veterinarian supervision, it may also be used as part of a treatment program for the treatment of advanced heartworm disease. Always consult your vet if your animal appears unwell.
Regular use of Parasite Dr. will help to:
* Expel and protect against internal parasites like heartworm, roundworm and tape worm
* Restore digestive health after parasitic infection
* Calm and soothe the digestive system
* Reduce parasite-related problems like restlessness and malnutrition
* Cleanse and detox the digestive system and improve digestive functioning
* Reduce the symptoms of flatulence, nausea and bloating
* Protect against bacterial infection
* Reduce yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract
* Act as a tonic for the entire digestive system
In summary, the treatment and prevention of heartworm disease in dogs and cats is a complex subject which requires owners to be well informed about the risks and benefits of both conventional and alternative approaches. Whichever options you choose, following the guidelines above to ensure a healthy pet, with a strong and well functioning immune system, heart, liver and circulatory system can help to keep your animal free of heartworm and many other health problems.
