Comments on Safe Heartworm Treatment - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

Looking for help - Rudi tested positive today and I’d like non toxic solutions for him

Live in Hawaii, my dog (a rescue) is around 10 yrs, - had her on a raw diet but in the last year had to move to a home/commercially cooked diet due to gut sensitivities. She's immune compromised so I recently started her on the VENJENZ products. Since our mosquito season is year round, i'm assuming i'd have to give her the nosodes year round ....is that correct? She has been off of all alleopathic heartworm medication for the last 3 years, focusing on diet, use of garlic/herbs for prevention and has tested negative in her recent wellness visit. I'm wondering since her immune system is compromised if the nosode would be an added preventative layer?

We adopted a young heartworm positive beagle mix. I had read Will Falconer's ebook Vital Animals Don't Get Heartworm!

She tested positive a couple times on kibble, but we switched her to a fully raw diet, and she tested negative about 4 months after that without any other intervention.

Ever since I've never given kibbles again

I had been trying to find the original article I found in 2015 when read about Guinness beer for heart worms. It seems to have mysteriously disappeared! The protocol called for 1oz. per 25lbs. It stated that it makes adult worms sterile and age faster. It prevents larva from maturing and the heart worms don't release toxin that they do with standard Vet treatment. I had my dog Jojo checked 3 times at two different locations in 2015. Well, she's still alive and heart worm free along with my nine year old Great Dane (Bella), an 11 year old pittie named Bonnie. I've been giving all my dogs the Guinness since 2016. I live in Texas where heart worms are very prevalent.

My dog has just been diagnosed with heartworm, 3 days after she started coughing, meaning she was infected 6 months ago and the young are living in the lungs. The vet laid on the serious disease and I was so shocked I started her on the Doxy antibios he prescribed but now realise they do not kills the worms, so I think I should stop them and start on Guinness! Does this work if they are showing symptoms? Has anyone else used this treatment?

Wow. Interesting stuff, Candy!

Too our shock, our old time scotch collie (4) was confirmed as having Heartworms, and it was all scare tactic from there on out. They even insisted that she needed a few more shots while she was there. I was so overwhelmed, and the bill was high. We have tried hard to follow natural practices and are mostly acquainted with mercola Pets/Dr. Karen Becker.

This first vet Immediately put her on pro heart 12 and the doxycycline antibiotic. They promised me shots in the future and I was to go home and cage her. I told him I wouldn’t do that and that she’s a calm girl and that I’ll give her the whole laundry room.

Since then, July 3, I have researched an insane amount, and I have talked with six vets in visited three of them.

After our girl had 13 puppies with the last one going home July 2022, she started some serious recovery mode. She was incredible through pregnancy and super healthy, but through that summer, she didn’t eat too faithfully, and the herbals that we gave her for parasite cleansing sometimes got left behind or uneaten except by ants ????, so it must’ve been our best effort not good enough, and the Lord knows. So that’s probably when she got sick. It wasn’t until this spring that we noticed her breathing heavy, no coughing, & she was still doing farm chores with us, but tended to lay down a lot and wasn’t very fun-playful over the last several months… We thought that she just needed a puppy to play with. Long story short, the second (integrative)vet said to go with just preventatives and the antibiotic.

In my heart, I knew I didn’t like either of these options. I’m sick to think that she has a Pro Heart 12 in her for a whole year… from that first vet. I’m Terribly hoping that it can get detoxed out of her with a good G.I. bentonite clay/charcoal/many other herbs formula.

I’m waiting to hear back from the holistic vet in Charlotte who I got off of your website to get his opinion on all of this too.

In the meantime, we gave Kyla, our girl, an acute dosage of her parasite (herbal) formula and have kept her on their he protocol since.

we already see a big improvement in her. The first vet, who gave her all the meds heard a murmur. And then, after the acute herbal dosages, we saw two other vets, another week, and they heard a strong heartbeat!!! To me that says a lot for kill and absorb versus kill and lie dormant in a bloodstream like you talked about in your article with the shots, etc.

I have a few more conversations to have with our herbal lady, and one to have with the above mentioned holistic vet… Thank you for telling me I have time to mull this over a little more… I have an inkling and a gut feeling towards my girl… Always have… Prayer changes things. God is good, and he has provided all these natural ways for us to live and heal in the midst of this crooked world.

Stay tuned

I've had 7 collies, and since they're a herding breed, have a genetic mutation, MDR1, which means Ivermectin crosses the blood/brain barrier and gives them seizures and diarrhea, hence I didn't use a preventive. So when one of my collies turned up positive for heart worm, I went searching for a natural cure.

I found the Guinness protocol - 2 oz. per 25 lbs. twice/month for 3 months, then retest. It's the type of Guinness in the black glass bottle with the gold harp on it. So after 3 months of this, he was cured, a negative test. I had him tested again after another 3 months, still negative. I have used this protocol for all of my dogs since (2006), with negative heart worm tests. Prevention dose is 2 oz./25 lbs. once/month for every previous month of temperatures above 57 degrees F. My vet fired me, even though it works. Obviously, he doesn't make any money from it.

BTW, I had my positive dog tested twice with different labs for the positive AND the negative so my vet couldn't say it was a false positive. You have to stay one step ahead of them.
