I have some I can refer to that do phone consults. Thanks sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 We have used Tea tree oil.Some are allergic to this,so test with a small amount.You could also try a homeopathic remedy that matches up.A homeopath would have an easier time of it,but you could try deciding on a remedy on your own.Clean the home very well too.Grapefruit seed extract and Tea tree oil do well. marcitrix <marcitrix@...> wrote: I am wondering what is the best route to treat ringworm?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Whenever you STOP a symptom with a drug or an herb or teatree oil you are not doing the body any favors. You are stopping a symptom that the body is using to try to dissipate a disturbance. Teatree oil is ANTI just like a drug Homeopathy is 180 degrees opposite - works with the symptoms, helps the symptom to be effective. I will nver recommend any suppression with drugs or teatree oil. You are not dealing with the disturbance the is wh it is happening.

Hom. has taught me so much more than simple alt. med. ways of treating diseae. It is much more than that, it teaches you and makes you aware of the wisdom of the human body and why it does what it does. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 We used iodine a couple times a day when our dogs got it. It worked great and hasn't come back. I've also heard tea tree oil works. emily --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks I will try that. How long do you think it took until it was gone? We have 4 other dogs and two cats I am hoping that they do not get it.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It took a few days to a week. I don't know about any particular prevention, but I suppose if there is a prevention it would be proper vitamins, minerals and diet! It sounds like you take good care of your dog though. Ours are also on a raw diet with supplemental minerals & vitamins. We had just gotten a puppy and were babysitting 2 others when they ALL got it. I know the puppies didn't come from a home where they were eating well, so my guess is that they brought it with. Good luck, and have patience! --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have cured ringworm quickly by dusting the site with diatomaceous earth, gone in a few days. I used it all the time on the cows and cats. Wash well after touching the site. I also use DE for fleas and worms. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 tte De Baraclai Levy`s *bible* one of the very first herbals for cat`s and dogs, dating back to the 1940`s has the very best recipe for getting rid of all kinds of beasties, including ringworm , her Lemon Lotion , which is basically 12 lemons halved . steeped in a glass gallon jug of hot water to draw out the natural oils in the lemons--then keep in the fridge for months -- keep topping up the water and removing and replacing the lemons only when they get moldy.. you cover the infection site completely until it disappears-- I have raised all raw fed -grain free English Bulldogs and Beardies for 12 years, and use the lemon lotion more as a rinse diluted --I wouldn't be without it -makes a great mosquito spray and rinse instead of all those health compromising preventatives, Carol Anne , Mississauga Ontario ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I get mine from a supplier in Sartell. I buy food grade Diafil. There are other suppliers in MN. If you get Acres I think is one listed there. I paid about $15.00 for a 50# bag but I stocked up and have not purchased any for several years. When we had the cattle I used about 1,000#'s a year. It is like hydrogen peroxide, I wouldn't be without it. I keep a 'kill jar' with some in on the shelf to drop the ticks in all summer. I sprinkle it on the floor of the chicken house to keep the lice down and outside where they take a dust bath. I put a small amount on the cats so when they wash it helps to worm them. We used to have a problem with the cattle getting ringworm around their eyes and I would just dip my hand in the DE and swipe it across their eye for a few days to get rid of it.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Tea tree oil works for us. It is very contagious. Keep applying stuff for a week or so after it’s gone too and wash clothes/pillowcase in hot water daily.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Since iodine is an antifungal, will it kill ringworm if applied to the area. It is for my son, the doctor diagnosed him with scabies but come to find out a year later with lots of insane treatments it is ringworm. I had found a treatment for scabies that seemed to work for a short time on the places (we thought were scabies but here ringworm) but then it comes back. I mixed 5% lugols in lard and spread over him. The course for scabies is once a week unless breakouts occur. I just want to know if I should treat him twice a day for three weeks with my current treatment add turmeric or if I should go get the fungal cream that can be hard on the liver? I have read that though some herbal remedies may keep it a bay it does not kill the fungus. I wanted to know your thoughts on that.
