Hi. If you are worried about your pet why don't you take her to a good vet? There are lots of knowledgable caring vets. I would not guess where my pet's health was concerned. Getting rid of heartworm is not a simple procedure. Faith G.

I heard about it from a lyme doctor who said that they had some success with it with lyme patients. You have to order it and it is expensive but I think it is a very good antimicrobial and anti fungal. I just recently started using it and it seems to work well for my jaw. I have a feeling that this infection in my jaw is going to be long term for me and I need something I can tolerate. I know of a lyme patient that said it has cured her thrush .she was using nystatin rinse that was doing nothing for her. I tried oregano and it didnt do much for me with the jaw infection but burn like anything. I have read good results from others about oregano however. Have you tried the carvacol oregano? A question for anyone in the group. I use alternatives with my dog for most things. I have found herbals effective for ear infections and I also give my dog high quality food. I took her to the vet today and I was told that heart worm is becoming a big problem and can carry risks to humans now. I keep my dog flea free by using a flea comb and vacuuming the carpet daily. Because she is a small dog and rarely goes outside and we have no cats, fleas have never been a problem so I dont use advantage because the dog sleeps in my bed and I know that this advantage stuff can get in your enviroment. I am however worried about heart worm and some other parasites that seem to be emerging with pets. does anyone have any suggestions for heartworm or should I just bite the bullet and give her the pill? Also any natural suggestions for fleas would be helpful as my vet doesnt think I am doing my dog justice by refusing advantage. I hate giving my dog a pill that is an internal insecticide. Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions in the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
