Have any of y'all used or heard of this company?
http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/wholisticproduct.html
I was reading articles by holistic vets who have recommended these and similar products. I've found a holistic vet in Carrolton (TX) and I'm thinking about calling her to see what she thinks of their heartworm product.
Luv,

| I have not heard of the company but have used many of the products listed on that page. I will not however use a homeopathic hw preventative, only because I don't want to mess with hw, too scary... |

I know what you mean, Anne. I'm skeptical of holistic "cures" because, having Lupus, I've been bombarded with claims about expensive plant extracts and juices.
This company recommends using ivermectin for preventative, but offers a holistic treatment for heartworms. Apparently, it contains a tiny bit of cyanide from apricot pits to kill the worms slowly over four months and a bunch of herbs to reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. I just don't know if it's worth a try or a waste of money, albeit not much money, to buy a small bottle and see what happens.
