Have read some about using alittle garlic for worms Heart, Whip etc in dogs. My vet will not help after temperature taken, prostate finger exam and the physical observations of condition he is in. Because I didn't have the $355.00 for 4xrays & a blood exam. He Motley our family home member, guard, friend loving etc. had been on whip worm medication for about two months. Ran out in Sept. 08 and it is now Feb. 23, 08. The last two weeks I noticed a narrowing of his abdomen (between back of ribs too hinds legs). Kept watching with concern and he started developing a whoofing as he had at times clearing out. Although now no expulsion of yellow as when he ate grass and would clear later. So now I'm wondering if the 6"chews were causing problem. Well there has been no blood in stool, or vomiting. altough difficulty at times when excited or responding to someone at door, would start that whoofing, and a noticeable contraction moreso with the breathing and can hear the difficulty also.
So tonite Monday, feb 23, 09 I started a clove of garlic thinly sliced, brocolli steamed, left over that he does eat, 1/2cup skim milk, some chicken that was fried & has a little garlic. Mixed well together & he ate most all. 1hr later I asked him he wanted to go out and he did so. Had a good bowel/color, urinated/(has been more yellowish red?, and came in the house. So now I wait & watch. Hopefully he'll have improved physical attribute in the next day, and contiued good bowel etc. We love him mamma, I and daughter yrs.,17. Motley is a young 10yrs/young/70 dog yrs. He's has held his youth all this time. He is noticebly aging, but I know & can say he is still spirited and can move and let you know.
I'll get back here hopefully 7 let you know what occurs. Ramon/SolBlue is my performing name Guitar/Singer/Songwriter. Syracuse, N.Y.

Hi, though I have not personally tried Dr. Hulda Clark. 'Zapper' I have heard of them when I was researching for schematics for the Bob Beck device. About the commercially available versions of this device. I do have personal experience. And I would suggest looking into this device as it works very well for me. And I would recommend it highly. The articles are not too hard to find on the web there is a complete series of Bob beck lecturers posted on YouTube. Good luck

Erichliosis/lymph nodes
I tried the epsom salts, with 1 pint of h202 for the bath. The epsom salts had spearamint in them. It was the first time in 3 days my dog has been able to lay on her side, and sleep, without so much respiratory distress. The bath was hard, I feel buzzed from the oxygen on my arms, I can't believe what's it's done for my dog this evening. She hadn't eaten all day, and then ate, just now. We've been doing the castor packs for some time. I just tried the ACV tonite. I am also going to try POKE and American Mandrake Root tinctures, 1 drop each. She's also on Cat's Claw, Una da gato, only, and also Gravizon, and ning xa and essiac herbal remedy. Keep your thumbs up, if my dog wants to live, then I'm going to find a way to make it happen for her. She's only 8.
Do research on colloidal silver...it kills & heals almost everything!! I'm using it right now to worm my kitten & by day 2, I am already seeing dead worms in her poo.
I am sure that she has hookworms, as her poo's were bloody. I mentioned this to her breeder that I thought she had worms cuz she had an inflated belly & a very vile bowel movement, the first day I had her. The breeder said nothing.
Then a week later, I saw blood in her stools & mentioned this to the breeder & the breeder then said... Oh yeah, that the kittens all had bloody stools when they were born....gawsh!! Some people!!
I have read of people being very successful when using colloidal silver on their pets for worms & lots of other ailments. Works great on people too.

Just gave my 130 pound dog a clove of garlic! Hope your grandmother was right, Im feeling good about this and I have spent hundreds at the vets and on pesticides (for dogs) including a natural drop treatment ( didn't work)! That she was on for 2 weeks with 60 drops a day its called wrm clear its a homeopathic remedy. Do not waste your money! .. I will keep you posted on the garlic.. Thanks a bunch!
You must be using pool grade, not food grade DE. You must give you and your pets FOOD GRADE DE. If you find DE and you are not sure if it is food grade, DON'T BUY IT. Be safe and be 100% sure that it is food grade before giving it to yourselves or loved ones.
Can someone tell me how much ground cloves to put in dog's food for a 41 pound dog please? She she a small # of roundworm eggs. How long should I use the cloves? I am also giving 1/2 tsp finely ground pumpkin seeds per day. New at natural de-worming, so please advise!

Can you tell me if Petie had tape worms or another kind? I am only aware of tape worms being seen *on* a pet so was it tape worms or did you mean seen in the stool?
Also, did you verify with any sort of lab testing to confirm there were no worm eggs in Petie's stool?
I have heard of pumpkin seed ground up in the food for worms but they can be hard to come by - the oil approach seems ideal.
I am finding these comments and advice so helpful, thank you. I have a little cat that I rescued as a street kitten. When he came home he had hookworms. Like every other cat I have had (17 in all) I gave him garlic capsules, and they cleared him. He still has his daily capsule, but the other day I noticed hookworm larvae in his motions again. I was telling a cat loving American friend and he told me his grandmother dosed their animals with tobacco, said the worms came out in loads! Unfortunately he couldn´t remember what type of tobacco, or what kind of dosage. So on Saturday I bought a tiny packet of rolling tobacco, and a tin of catfood, served him a little with a tiny sprinkling of tobacco. I told my friend and he said, be careful, the nicotine can be toxic! If he had said that in the first place I would never have tried it. Now I learn it should be chewing tobacco and it is risky.
The cat hasn´t seemed very well since, has coughed up some white froth, and I don´t know if it has worked; he will not use his tray, prefers to go outside so I rarely see his stools. I have kept him in in the hope he will provide evidence, but nothing so far. On a plus side, he feels "fatter" and his coat is shinier, it had gone very dull, and he was getting boney like he was when I found him.
But I won´t risk tobacco ever again.
I have tried commercial tablets on other cats and they didn´t work.
As for garlic, I have never had any problems with any of my cats, most of whom have lived to ripe old ages. The others died from totally unrelated issues, one was even killed by a vet who didn´t know what he was doing when he tried to neuter her; he swore it was a reaction to the anaesthetic, but I was there when he did it, and was very worried, by his procedures, the time it took, and the fact that he seemed uncertain. A colleague came in, looked and made some remark, that I took to be questioning what he was doing, but he brushed it off. At that time there were no small animal vets around here, it´s a farming área, so they all worked with livestock. I got the distinct impression he had never done this to a female cat before, although he had done her brother and another male with no problems. It´s a little different doing what is basically an external procedure, to full blown surgery with all the attendant risks. Thankfully we have a positive rash of domestic vets now, so I will stick with them in future.

Leashmaniosis is a protazoal infection; protozoa are single celled organisms and in this case parasites inside your dog's organs or colonized on his skin.
Many things *might* apply.
The simplest would be to treat this infection as a yeast infection and treat for candida:
I would pay particular attention to Ted's advice and consider using Borax in your dog's drinking water as one approach.
The other idea I have for you is something I have not used personally, however I have read many good results using these products to eliminate heart worm microfilaria - the product is made by Systemic Formulas and it is from the Bio challenge line; the specific products are VRM1, VRM2, VRM3, and VRM4:
These products may be expensive, and you must work with the company for the exact dose needed of the product as you are entering uncharted waters and have no one that has been in your shoes using this product to advise you. Despite the lack of experience in using this product for leashmaniosis, the principal is the same - parasite on the cellular level - so I do not hesitate in suggesting this remedy.
Please report back with your progress in treating your dog's protazoal infection!

There are many OTC wormers that contain the effective ingredient Proziquantel/Droncit in them. You should be able to buy "TradeWinds Tape Worm Tabs Cat Tablets" at any pet supply store - these are cheaper than a vet visit and are effective usually requiring only one treatment.
If you wish to go the herbal route consider VMR1 [http://systemicformulasmedia.com/491-vrm1/], and also slippery elm tea, as well as worm wood and black walnut; dosages for these products would be listed on the bottle and you would need to calculate based on the weight of your pet.

"Wormwood" is reputed to be the most effective herbal remedy for whipworms. In researching possible doses I kept finding cautions about how dangerous this particular remedy is, and all the other research only yielded websites with various combined tinctures offered for sale.
I will add, there has been little well done research on natural alternative pet wormers. Herbal websites I have researched, along with advice from my own holistic vet, and from my own trials and errors in dealing with using natural wormers winds down to this: the most effective way to get rid of whipworms in a dog is Fenbendazole/Pancur from your vet.
Because of the long maturation cycle of young worms, a second deworming some 75 days or so after the first deworming is needed to fully clear the infection (easy to forget). Often another deworming in between these doses is recommended to further control the whipworm numbers.
Soil contaminated by whipworm eggs is contaminated for years. It is virutally impossible to remove the eggs from the soil or kill them. If you have heavy soil contamination you may wish to remove the contaminated soil to a depth of 3 feet and replace with clean soil, or adopt a quarterly or twice yearly worming protocol to keep your pet free of worms.
I noticed that you wrote to give the animal Diatomaceous Earth (DE)... I went to a website that I read about to buy the stuff and on the website it specifically said will not sell to the state of TX... Is there a reason Texas can't buy the stuff?

DE is available in many, many places in the state of Texas. The restrictions on sale apply to how the product is labeled. The EPA requires that in order to make claims that Diatomaceous Earth kills insects, it has to be labeled with an approved EPA label. So if a dog treat includes DE in its ingredients and boasts that it also is effective on removing parasites, it must have the EPA label that proves the product met EPA specifications; if the product does not bear the EPA label then it cannot be sold as a dog treat that removes parasites in the state of Texas.
This site has DE in varying sized bags some of which can be sold to the state of Texas and some that cannot because it does not bear the EPA label:

my dog has whipworms. I am going to try blackwalnut with clove and wormwood. I am also going to give him a clove of garlic 3 times a day. Can anyone give me dosing for my dog. he is 120 pounds.
on an off note I had 3 dogs that got kennel cough all at once. Garlic 3 times a day and it was gone within a week. just wanted to share that garlic does cure kennel cough.
I just wanted to go back to oregano oil and cats . I can't seem to see any positive experiences anyone had giving oregano oil to their cats for parasites; yet I have heard it works great for dogs. Is it safe to give to cats? Perhaps a few drops in their wet food? I have 6 cats and take care of a seventh stray and they all seem to have contracted tape worms and tapeworm fleas. It is awful. I have a dog as well so I have to treat him too . I find it very stressful to deal with this situation and I have never seen such a flea infestation! I appreciate all advice. Thank you everyone. I love this site!!

I have used oregano oil for my dogs - the parasites were micro-organisms and not large ones like tape worms. I think you would have more success by using lamp flea traps in each room, and perhaps using DE in their food and possibly to dust each cat if you cannot give them flea baths. I cannot stress the lamp flea traps enough - I have found them to be super effective in ridding a room of fleas. Tape worms are super hideous to think about but they are mainly an eye sore and are NOT an immediate threat to your cats health. I have no problem using the traditional drugs prescribed by the vet [Praziquantel- find online or even at pet store] to worm cats for tapes; these meds have been used for decades with no ill effect and are also used on humans. If you are determined to go the pharma free route, keep in mind that the natural wormers out there are not risk free and pose dangers of their own, especially if you are not trained in their dosing and use.
I would strongly advise finding a holistic vet if you intend to use any natural remedy on your cats to rid them of their tapes.

Garlic for puppy with round worms
I currently don't have the money to take my 9 week old puppy to the vet and I know for sure he has round worms, I believe he puked them up in my bed last night. I've heard that garlic can make him expel them? I don't have fresh garlic on hand but could I use powdered garlic and if so how much would I use and for how long? I just got this puppy and I believe he's had the worms since he was born as they are about 5 inches long. I'm afraid that if I don't do something soon he will die so please any information on this remedy as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what to do and don't have any money to buy wormer, please help!
The best thing you can do for this puppy is to either borrow money from someone or give the dog to someone that can afford to take care of it. Sometimes you can work out a payment plan with your vet.
If the dog is vomitting worms the infestation is likely severe, and you are right, it will die. But killing the puppy to kill the worm is not the way to go.

Yes theres a lot of myths about garlic. It wont hurt your dog if the right amount is given. Just like if it eats a bit of chocolate it also wont kill it.

The average cost to spay a human is $7000, upwards to $20, 000 in some cases. Less than $200 bucks to spay a cat is actually pretty paltry. Especially considering a veterinarian has the same amount of schooling, and has to learn about several species instead of just one. And the technique, equipment, etc. is pretty darn similar.
If something as simple and wide-spread as garlic actually prevented fleas- there wouldn't be so many flea medications on the market. There also would be so many flea infestations. This year seemed especially heinous with the little buggers.
My Schipperkee has worms for the 2nd time in 5 months. They were flat before now round. The humane society gave dewormers to both the boy and the girl. They are on Ivermectin and Nextgard they shouldn't be getting worm. They are on artificial grass. I can only think that the mosquito or fleas in the are re introducing the worms. They get their annual check ups faithfully. The boy also tested positive for heart worm and had the shots to clear that up. Any thoughts?
A few Days ago I was looking at this site to help my dog with his constipation. Well I got some answers. I read about acv (which I believe it's a magical thing) anyway. I gave my dog a dose last night, I waited and nothing happened. Around 2 am he woke me up, and I took him out. Tonight I did the same thing, except I sort of put a little bit extra. Took him out. It has been raining here a lot today, so....when he came in, there was a worm, then another OMG he has worms...was my thing. I read all about it and I'm unsure about continue to give him more acv with garlic or should I stop it and just give him garlic?
Anyone has any answers.....? I think he has round worms..he is very small dog.
Ginger is a broad range helminthic (dewormer) and anti-parasitic. That is why sushi is always served with sliced ginger. You can get powdered ginger at the health food store and add a pinch to wet food or canned tuna. If your pet doesn't like the smell, mix the ginger into a small amount of wet food and cover it up with more wet food/tuna. Please try this instead of garlic, especially with small dogs or cats.

When in doubt, scientific studies are most beneficial in determining what is true or false. This study showed that dogs' red blood cell count dropped and there were signs of damage to the red blood cells (Heinz bodies) when fed garlic; compared to a control group that was not fed garlic and showed no such signs.
Granted, it is likely a matter of how MUCH garlic is fed, and whether or not the dog has any underlying diseases that could worsen the effects. So, the real question is if you feel the benefit is worth the risk to feed your dog garlic?
My puppy weighs no more than 3 pounds has round worms. I don't have money right now for a vet. Can I give her garlic to get rid of them and if so how much
Please don't overdo the amount of garlic... Just because some is good doesn't mean more is better. Both people and animals have died because of that "more must be better" thinking. DOSAGE is highly important in anything. A wise man once said- Though good for you- ALL healing substances are poisonous- it just depends on the amount.

Hi Brian,
I have read your post with interest and although I note that it was some time ago that you posted it, I hope you still check in on the forum and will be able to answer my question.
I have found the book you refer to and I wonder if you could tell me if you have tried the 'Zapper' with good results, or have you only had successful results with the herbal remedies?
We have had the zappers for over 10 years. They work great. We have bought 2 or 3 of them with the individual drivers. They are lightly constructed, so if you sleep with one on, sometimes the wires get ripped out.

My dogs have whip worms it is the same symptoms as parvo. There is no cure for whip worms but they are not caused by fleas, its by eating, smelling other dog poop that has been infected with them. They cannot be seen by the naked eye only by microscope. The vet told me to clean dog poop everyday and spray my yard with bleach to help keep them from getting infected that is they are in a fenced yard.
EC: Actually, you can get rid of whipworms with the correct medication.
"Whipworm infestation is detectable by stool examination, which can detect eggs and charcot-leyden crystals. Mebendazole is 90% effective in the first dose, and albendazole may also be offered as an anti-parasitic agent." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipworm
Can you please state how much you used? I just started Colloidal silver today on my dog who has been suffering with months of chronic diarrhea and lost alot of weight. I gave her the children's dose on the bottle - squirted it straight into her mouth? BTW- she weighs 37#
Have you tried giving your dog pumpkin puree (not pie filling) mixed w/white rice for the diarrhea. I tried on my dogs & cats & it worked great. Actually, that's what the site called for, I couldn't find the pumpkin so I substituted sweet potatoes drained, rinsed & mashed mixed w/1 cup of rice. hope this helps.

WARNING!
I have to give a huge warning about colloidal silver. Long term exposure to a living animal or person will eventually cause them to turn gray as the silver permeates throughout the system and DOES NOT get removed from your tissues. Long term prognosis is not good. I am very open to alternative remedies ie most of these such as tobacco, DE and OO have been around for years and similar to many things we eat, can be marginally poisonous. More is not better. Colloidal silver does work but at a great cost to the patient. Look up Argyria before you use this for anything!!!
Very late in replying but in case anyone is reading this of recent, I have read on various websites that it does. In fact, I am trying it out right now. When I get the results I will come back and post.

I gave my Mini Schnauzer pumpkin seeds when he was almost about 8 months old, because I noticed his puppy was full of worms. I gave it to him for about 2 weeks, not every day (because I would forget sometimes! ) and it worked. He hasn't had any more worms.

I am very happy to have found this website. I am curious about the garlic treatment for the parisitic dog. Would something like this work for a horse as well? Also, how much water for 3 cloves of garlic? Thanks.
Along with an organic garlic pill (= 4 cloves), I have been making white rice and mixing in small handful of cheese. Doing this for about a week now. Will check the backyard for any more "puddles" and report.
We have three dogs, so expensive to give flea treatment, garlic works great. As for the fur and joints, was giving good quality fish oil in their food, but OMG, the stinky gas was horrific. Any suggestions?
I haven't had a lot of luck with vets, so I try home remedies when I can think of or find them. I think cayenne Might work on worms also. I think Hooks attach, and might not consume it, but it just might make the environment inhospitable. Could try it in food, but better may be in a capsule, so it released in the intestines. I have empty capsules from things I wanted to try working in my stomach, so you could empty one of things you have in capsules, to try it. I'd try it with and without salt. Don't know if salt would make a difference.
Another thing to try is garlic. I had an aquatic turtle that had a tape worm. I think I might have given it to it, by feeding it a fly I killed. They used to sell dried flies as turtle food, and I Thought I'd give it Fresh Food. (( A few days later I see a white tape coming out of it's butt. I didn't want to get near the tank, for fear I might get some water on me, and didn't know if the eggs would be floating. Called a chemist friend who had lots of pets and Asked him if he knew a remedy. Ones in pet store were for mammals, and one cap was for 2 lbs of animal, and the turtle probably weighed a few oz. He kept land tortoises, but had no idea what to try. I pestered him and he remembered that his barber told him his mom used to give them garlic to prevent worms. Had to figure how to get garlic into an aquatic turtle, and put some garlic powder wrapper in a small piece of thin, minute steak, and offered it on a tiny spatula. It ate it and the next day the tape was gone. From my experiences, I like to mix as little as possible with something I am giving, in case it gets mixed in and not as effective. When I needed to take Loads of salt to function in the heat, no matter how much I put on food, it didn't do what taking it straight with water did, so I say, keep it simple if you can when trying something. Garlic inside a capsule would be the simplest if they won't eat it, and don't give an awful lot, since it can thin the blood.

Earth Clinic and EC readers, I would URGENTLY need your help. I have 4 cats (the mother and her 3 male children) they have been losing a lot of weight. Two of them I can feel their bones when trying to brush them. I have not seen any worms but I feel they have them. Now I am confused reading all the comments. What shall I give them garlic, cayenne pepper, tobacco, ginger powder, clay power, or diatomaceus earth - Please help me save them ?????

WARNING!
To Angela from Scotia, Ny, Usa- PLEASE never give your kitties diatomaceous earth!! I understand it can be inhaled and since it's like tiny microscopic shards of glass, it gets stuck in their lungs! I've heard of people who dusted their cat for fleas with it and it killed the cat!
