HEARTWORM CONTROVERSY DEMYSTIFIED

Prescription Neurotoxic Heartworm Medications are Insecticides
but not your only option

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

​
CHEMICAL HEARTWORM MEDICINE SLOWLY POISONS YOUR DOG'S HEART,
NERVOUS SYSTEM & IMMUNE SYSTEM

Would you pour an insecticide on your dog's food just because your Vet said it was safe?​

CHEMICAL HEARTWORM MEDICINE CONTINUOUSLY RELEASES INSECTICIDE (NEUROTOXIN) INTO YOUR PET'S BLOODSTREAM TO ASSAULT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF ANY MOSQUITO LARVAE
&
POISONING YOUR DOG'S SYSTEM AS WELL

Did you know chemical based Heartworm medications damage the heart over time?

On these chemical-based "preventatives" your dog's natural immune defense is no longer at optimal levels so contact with bacteria and viruses that would not normally be able to harm a healthy dog have a better chance of making your dog seriously ill.

HERBAL HEARTWORM PREVENTION WORKS IN A SIMILAR WAY: USING HERBS INSTEAD OF PESTICIDES. IN ADDITION, SOME HERBS HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF SUPPORTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, A CRITICAL FACET IN ANY DISEASE PREVENTION.

WHAT HOLISTIC VETS ARE SAYING
This discussion should only be about gathering as much information as we can to make optimal decisions to enhance the health and vibrant longevity of our dogs

MARTIN GOLDSTEIN: DVM, Author (The Nature of Animal Healing)
Heartworms are "less epidemic than the "disease causing toxicity" of heartworm medicine."

JEFF LEVY: DVM, Homeopath
"... It was not the heartworms that caused disease, but the other factors that damaged the dog's health to the point that they could no longer compensate for an othewise tolerable parasite load." Those factors include "being vaccinated yearly, eating commercial dog food and getting suppressive drug treatment for other symptoms".

DR. PLECHNER, DVM Expert in veterinary

...All these chemicals can alter the endocrine immune homeostasis in the body and can create the autoimmunity that causes SARDS. ...and may be the cause and reason why the incidence of allergies, other autoimmune diseases and cancer are on the rise.

GLEN DUPREE, DVM, Homeopath
Practiced in Louisiana, never treated or tested his dogs for heartworm: "I operate under the assumption that all of my dogs have heartworms. But there’s a very big difference between having heartworms and heartworm disease.” And that difference is a healthy immune system.

PETER DOBIAS: DVM
"When it comes to heartworm prevention, it appears that it is possible to dramatically reduce or completely eliminate heartworm drug use if DNA testing is done on a regular basis."

DOGS NATURALLY MAGAZINE: Dana Scott, Editor in Cheif
Vets argue "that the risk of adverse events from heartworm “preventives” is pretty low – but there are already 700 dogs reported dead this year alone from just one product. Thousands of other dogs suffer from neurological complaints, cancer, hypothyroidism, blindness, skin disease and more from the use of heartworm products.

"The constant flow of toxic chemicals gets in the way of good health. Common sense would tell you that it’s ridiculous to expose your dog to vaccines, neurotoxins, carcinogens and think that you’ve made him healthy.

How did giving poisonous products to healthy dogs to make them healthy become a viable treatment option? Where did it go so wrong? ...when people say “I’ve put my dog on heartworm preventives,” I have to ask, “what exactly have you prevented?” And more importantly, “what is the cost?”

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
What are they?

. These drugs contain strong pesticides and work by disrupting the nervous system in the mosquito larvae and in turn - your dog's nervous system. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association...
  • 65% of adverse drug reactions &
  • 48% of all reported deaths
  • result from drug interactions caused by conventional pesticide-based heartworm preventatives​
LISTED SIDE EFFECTS
What your Vet says is "Perfectly Safe":
  • Aggressive behaviour (often sudden onset), Autoimmuine disorders; Depression; Diarrhea; Difficulty breathing; Dizziness; Fertility problems; Fever; Lethargy; Liver problems; Loss of appetite; Nose bleeds, Paralysis; Pneumonia; Thyroid problems; Tremors; Seizures; Skin eruptions; Sudden death; Vomiting; Weaknes

What About The STUDIES
(most vets haven't even read)?
  • The original Heartworm studies found 98% of all dogs were free of heartworm when pills were administered every 2 months.
  • They decided they would recommend doubling and dosing monthly (4 weeks) because it would be "easier for people to remember" and they could advertise 100% of dogs were heartworm free with a second study.
  • Overdosing: One study states the effective dose of the Heartworm pesticide is actually .1mg/kg but to also control hookworm, the effective dosage is raised to .5mg/kg.
  • Overdosing: Another study states 6mcg/kg dosage of ivermectin is actually good for 60 days and, therefore, the monthly dosage has a "wide safety margin". For profit and disease from side effects?​
  • Keep in mind the laboratory dogs used for the study had weak immune systems, fed meals with poor and questionable nutrition, had no exercise (detox), fresh air, love or attention as we give our pets. These dogs started out ready to be susceptible to disease.

And if that is not enough, now:
DRUG RESISTANCE!
Overuse of pesticide-based heartworm preventatives has resulted in an increasing ineffectiveness as the Heartworm parasites have built-up an immunity to the chemicals. Leading experts in pet parasites warn us the entire group of Heartworm medications is implicated in the resistance data. "In recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has seen an increase in reports of lack of efficacy in all approved heartworm preventive therapies – reports that were from manufacturers and veterinarians," - Dr. Jason Drake of Novartis Animal Health. STUDY: Dr. Byron Blagburn, an Auburn University parasitologist. Also warnings by Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC). Most recent 2016 study re-confirming increasing resistance, published in the Journal of Veterinary Parasitology.

THE CASE FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

​
SUMMARY: DRUG WEAKENS IMMUNE = SETS UP ENVIRONMENT FOR DISEASE
Active Ingredients are Toxic Poisons that
  • Weaken your dog's immune system
  • Force liver, kidneys and skin to work over-time to eliminate the toxin from the blood stream
INTERESTING WILD DOG STUDY
DOGS IN THE WILD: 1991-96 Wisconsin Wolf Study: 2% tested positive for heartworm. Wolves exposed to mosquitoes 24/7 without any protection whatsoever . Cayotes, foxes and wolves eat a species appropriate diet of meat, fat, some berries, grasses and herbs (not processed "kibble"), this protects healthy animals from infection. Some coyotes and foxes have been identified as having the capability to fight-off infestations of heartworm and/or remain a host to the worm, while keeping the infestation minor enough so that his/her life (the host fox or coyote) is not in mortal danger. is a natural response by a healthy immune system.

Why are domesticated dogs today at high risk?
  • They are exposed multiple times daily to toxins (ingested, inhaled, surface contact)
  • Dogs carry a constant, heavy toxic load that weakens the immune system and creating a hospitable environment for mosquito larvae.
In general dogs that die from heartworm are dogs that are:
  • Fed highly processed food diets;
  • over-vaccinated;
  • Are unnecessarily treated with immune system suppressive drugs such as antibiotics.
The infestation is not the trigger for death, it's the weakened immune system that first leads to the infestation, and then is incapable of fighting the expansion of the infestation, killing the dog. The key: keep your dog's immune system healthy, not your vet's pocketbook.

CONSIDER THE SOURCE & the FEAR
Truth does not require fear to convince us of its benefits. Listen to your instinct and good sense.
Protect your pet. Know where the advice you are getting originates.

Ask why the risk of heartworm disease is unacceptable
while the risk of death and illness from heartworm preventives is widely accepted?


Most data regarding heartworm disease, treatment and diagnosis is from Veterinary Laboratories and Product Manufacturers who benefit from sales and testing. The American Heartworm Society has 8 officers on the board from major drug manufacturers: Platinum Sponsors: Fort Dodge Animal Health (Wyeth), Merial, Pfizer - Silver: Bayer - Bronze: Novartis, Schering-Plough, Virbac, Eli Lilly. Salesmen selling heartworm tests and preventive drugs since 1986 have been advising vets of a significant source of income. The frightening bottles of hearts with worms were advertising incentives from salesmen, not from your local neighboring dogs.
Drug manufacturers and vets are telling us the side effects and adverse events are OK and scare us into thinking that heartworm is a larger problem than it is.

Customer Reviews
Vet Could Not Believe It: Wayne L. Cody, Ph.D. Our dog was diagnosed with heart worms about three months ago and our vet recommended a rather extended, dangerous and expensive therapy. We decided to try HWF, prior to taking the therapy advised by the vet. Two weeks ago, we had our dog retested for heart worms and he was completely negative. The vet did not believe the results and sent out a second sample which was also negative. He still did not believe the results and sent it to another lab and it was still negative. Our dog appears completely healthy and shows no ill effects. Congratulations on a great product.
WE ARE SO EXCITED! Lee, Carole, and Gus McCallum WE ARE SO EXCITED! We were heartbroken when the vet told us that Gus' annual heart worm test was positive. I started researching just exactly what stages heart worm takes and came upon Amber Technology’s web site. I didn't think it would hurt to try the herbal remedy -- 6 months later. . .Gus is 'worm-free'. The vet was amazed and wanted all the details. We and he are believers! Thank you.”
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You: Phil Saunders...You have saved our hairy companion! Thank you! Pepper is our 13-year-old spayed female Black Chow. When the heart worm tests proved positive, the Doctor said that the $500 treatment would probably kill her and recommended that we just try to keep her from overexerting and give her the Heartgard. He said that large dogs don't live long anyway. I couldn't accept that so I looked for an alternative. I'm glad I found it!
After giving Pepper the HWF I took her back to be retested. The Doctor said he had never seen a remission of heart worms without the standard treatment and did not recommend the test. I insisted. The Doctor was obviously surprised that he could find no evidence of heart worms ...Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Participated in HWF Study: Fred R.I participated in your study for heart worm treatment with our dog named Lexie (Heartworm positive). Lexie was tested during routine checkup for vaccinations and tested heart worm negative. We continued giving Lexie HWF throughout the treatment. This treatment seemed to be much gentler on the dog compared to traditional treatment. The primary challenge was getting her to accept the twice daily doses due to the taste/smell. She would actually run from us when she smelled the solution. Thank you for an alternative to traditional treatment which is ordinarily expensive and as potentially lethal as the heart worm disease.
Last Heart Worm Test Negative: Bob & Joann SchihlFor several months during 2002, we used your Heartworm Free (HWF) product for our dog, Mitchell who probably came to us with heart worms from an abuse situation. During this time, he had two positive tests for heart worms, and we gave up hope to cure him without very expensive and dangerous treatment in the vet's hospital. Mitchell's last heart worm test was negative.!!! Thank you for your treatment which was non evasive, inexpensive, and successful.
Longer Healthier Life Tinkerbell & Oreo, My Personal Review: 7 years on HWF in the mosquito laden tropics and 7 years Heartworm free ~ as well as the added benefit of strengthening their system through the mix of herbs and B17 (Laetrile = apricot seeds) which is used and touted as a cancer killer and preventative. I love the feeling that I can give dogs something safe and life enhancing as opposed to toxic medications which cause disease and shorten lives.
