Most veterinarians will recommend giving a daily or monthly pill to
prevent heartworms, but in actuality you are administering a drug on a
regular basis that is designed to stop the "baby heartworms" from
becoming adults. This is not an accurate definition of prevention.
These drugs contain chemical insecticides. Administered over a period
of time, the toxic side-effects become a serious health risk.

Side effects listed for heartworm preventative drugs a 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.

Part of the veterinary industry has acknowledged these dangers. These
"alternative vets" are open to natural, safe and effective
alternatives. Many of these vets believe that the long-term use of
heartworm prevention drugs are a link in the chain of diseases such as
arthritis, liver and kidney diseases, skin allergies, and many types
of degenerative problems. Read an article by Dr. Jeffrey Levy, DVM,
PCH.

The cause of heartworms is mosquitoes. For dogs, and sometimes cats,
they can cause life-threatening problems because they transmit
heartworms. These are parasites that enter the bloodstream as larvae
and migrate to the heart. Six months after reaching the heart, the
larvae turn into adults, and that's when problems begin. Full-grown
heartworms eventually fill the heart, blocking flow of blood to the
lungs and doing damage to the heart. By the time you see symptoms,
they've already done damage to the heart.

Mosquitoes still bite animals on heartworm pills. The key is to get
the blood of the pet in a healthy enough condition that the mosquitoes
won't want it. Mosquitoes are a parasite. Herbs that have anti-
parasitic properties will discourage not only mosquitoes, but fleas
and ticks also. Geranium is an essential oil that repels mosquitos,
ticks and fleas and can be used on dogs.

Directions for Geranium Use
Pure Geranium Essential Oil is very powerful and effective. If used
alone for a flea spray, we suggest you put no more than 4 drops per
half cup of water and keep it refrigerated. Shake before spraying a
light spritz on the pets fur. No need to make the fur all wet, the
bugs are repelled from the scent of it. Do not get in the eyes, nose
or mouth. View more pet essential oil recipes.

Herbs such as Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), Clove Flower Buds (Eugenia
caryophyllata), Garlic (Allium sativum), Spearmint Herb (Mentha
spicata), Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa), Black Walnut (Juglans nigra),
and Wormwood (Artemisia annua) are examples of what can be used to
formulate an effective preventative and as part of a treatment
program.

Dogs and cats have their own way of protecting themselves from
mosquitoes. They instinctively avoid the hot, muggy places where
mosquitoes congregate and spend time in the cool, dry areas. They will
also roll in the dust or even mud to remove moisture from the skin and
change their scent, to be less attractive to mosquitoes.

Here are a few comments from veterinarians from the book: New Choices
in Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats: Over 1,000 at-Home Solutions for
Your Pet's Problems

Dr. Michelle Tilghman, D.V.M. says, "Strengthen [your pet's]
resistance with whole foods. Dogs and cats are more likely to resist
heartworms when they are given all-natural foods, which help keep the
immune system strong. If you don't want to make their foods at home,
use a commercial food that is free of additives and preservatives."
Read about Flint River Natural Pet Foods.

Dr. Mona Boudreaux, D.V.M. says, "Give [your pet] garlic. This pungent
herb repels mosquitoes, cleanses the blood, and strengthens the immune
system. Dogs over 50 pounds can have as much as two teaspoons of
garlic a day, and smaller dogs can have 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon a day.
Garlic can be a problem for cats, so don't give them too much. A safe
limit is 1/8 teaspoon or less a day for up to two weeks at a time."

Great post! I noticed the sourpusses are ignoring this one.

Chard, do I really need to explain why?

1. It's lifted verbatim from a website that pushes competing
drugs. Follow the money.

2. It gives no citations to back up its claims.

3. WTF are the so-called DVMs it quotes? Never heard of them.

Bottom line: Zero credibility.
