Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have no first hand experience with the less chemical approach for pets, but I have come across Dr. Tobin's name numerous times (for both pets and people) and his homeopathic approach that seems quite convincing. Here's a link to Planet Thrive with an excerpt of an article... (Apparently the homeopathy can both repell ticks and be a Lyme disease preventative?) http://planetthrive.com/2009/08/homeopathic-remedy-ledum-palustre/ Hope this helps, Aviva On Mar 22, 2010, at 8:32 PM, kendra wrote: > greetings, > fyi: typing triggers severe pain, so have to hire helper to type > (found > typist tonight). so you might not hear from me again, but i'm reading > responses as able. > > I've heard about using catnip in olive oil as a bug repellant & > possibly as > a tick repellant - has anyone tried this & if so, how did it work? > > do you know of any other nontoxic approaches to tick repellant that > are safe > for use on dogs? > > i know this list has discussed this general topic before, so i'm > especially > looking for any new insights, experiences, etc, with non-toxic > approach that > are truly effective. > > we live in area of high infection rates from Lyme disease. i'm already > disabled from late-stage neurological Lyme, and i've been re- > infected 4 > times since original diagnosis. i cannot afford to get infected > again. but i > also do not want to use a toxic product like Frontline on dogs. > > i used to use frontline on dogs as last resort. then last year > researched > epa warnings that confirmed my gut feeling about all the spot-on > toxins. but > not been able to find anything else that comes close to working in > this lyme > endemic area. > > my lyme integrative medical doc says: " better that your dog dies > early of > cancer (from the frontline toxins) than you get infected with lyme > again.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 just get orange eos at a Indian grocery store and mix with witch hazel you may want to put a little rubbing alcohol in too for emulsifying , also Lady Barbara uses rose geranium eos as a spray , I use both on my dogs , you may be able to get a dog mesh outfit from Cabalas I think that is the name , I am working on making them now , but the fabric I have been using just isn't holding up too long , it will not keep them all at bay but gives some protection , what kind of dog do you have ?? I have mini schnauzers so I brush them out and do a skin check all the time plus I have a gravel driveway and that's a help but I am building a pen that will be in an area that it pine trees so that will be a challenge that is a help . Atlantic spice company in Truro Mass also has the oils and bottles ect , they are reasonable , try ATTAR in NH too but they buy irradiated the herbs . Lady Barbara products are expensive but if you make them yourself as I do it can work too , NOT ROSE Attar Rose geranium , it goes for about 8 dollars a half ounce ....orange eos are food grade hope that helps In a message dated 3/25/2010 1:22:33 A.M.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have been told that it's ok to use products with d'limonene in them. D'limonene comes from oranges and is how oranges fend off bugs. It's an essential oil, is nontoxic to us but repels and kills bugs. You can get it in the concentrate form as TKOOrange - one site I know that sells it is www.organicorangetkocal.com. It also comes somewhat diluted as Orange Guard in health food and hardware stores. Put a little in a spray bottle, fill with water and spray on clothing, camping areas and camping gear and lightly mist or rub on dog and cat fur. I do not put it on my skin as it stings a little. We can use other essential oils for skin. - Robin [ ] tick repellant nontoxic > > greetings, > fyi: typing triggers severe pain, so have to hire helper to > type (found typist tonight). so you might not hear from me > again, but i'm reading responses as able. > > I've heard about using catnip in olive oil as a bug repellant > & possibly as a tick repellant - has anyone tried this & if > so, how did it work? > > do you know of any other nontoxic approaches to tick > repellant that are safe for use on dogs? > > i know this list has discussed this general topic before, so > i'm especially looking for any new insights, experiences, > etc, with non-toxic approach that are truly effective. > > we live in area of high infection rates from Lyme disease. > i'm already disabled from late-stage neurological Lyme, and > i've been re-infected 4 times since original diagnosis. i > cannot afford to get infected again. but i also do not want > to use a toxic product like Frontline on dogs. > > i used to use frontline on dogs as last resort. then last > year researched epa warnings that confirmed my gut feeling > about all the spot-on toxins. but not been able to find > anything else that comes close to working in this lyme endemic area. > > my lyme integrative medical doc says: " better that your dog > dies early of cancer (from the frontline toxins) than you get > infected with lyme again.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 This was posted on Silver Pets.... been using the beer for wormer for about 4.5 yrs.. a friend uses the *cheap beer* to worm her dogs.. and has for years.. i forget what the ratio is on the cheap beer.. as i do not use that. I started researching.. and not realizing THEN that what I was finding on the net would NOT stay there, i just copied the links and not the pages.. DUMB ME But i found in research papers for work ongoing in JAPAN.. they were testing the difference between Heart guard and Irish stout.. they were using guiness black label stout. now that is the difference.. the Glass bottles that are Black Label are always imported from Ireland.. those in cans or not the black label.. are brewed in the states and we have inferior hops.. its a totally different variety of hops actually.. and we have lots more pollution where our hops are grown, then where Guiness grows theirs.. (in an sealed environment.. pure air / water, and no pollution !! and the way they brew it over in ireland is also better, slower, more hops and better water.. so that process is also important.. to use guiness its 1oz / 25lbs of dog. first month, you dose first of month and then 2 wks later, from then on.. its just one dose every month. unless you miss a month, then you start over again. my friend that uses the cheap beer, yes she sees worms come out dead.. has never really had worms.. so i cant say that they killed what she had.. but it Does prevent them.. and she also does not get heart worm. AND even when exposed to the area that had it the heaviest 3 yrs ago.. and the other dog with us that weekend.. was on heartguard.. and DID get heartworm.. and did not.. speaks volumes to me. as to getting rid of heartworm to those that test positive.. have a vet tech friend in ohio.. she has used this to cure dogs that come in positive but are too sick to take *traditional* meds to be rid of the heart worm.. that protocol is 1oz per 25lbs every 2 wks for 3 months.. a test to find out where the dog stands.. if ONLY microfilea then the dog can go to once every month as it will eventually kill off the microfilea.. IF however there are still young worms in the body.. then another 3 months of the protocol.. usually at that end the dog is cured of the heartworm infestations.. and WELL and Healthy. the nicest thing about this is that .. the beer renders them sterile.. they can not reproduce, it also stunts their growth, speeds their aging up.. AND they do not produce any toxin as they die.. which is what happens when y ou try to poison them.. they make the dog really sick and most times people will stop the treatment to keep the dog alive.. and the heartworm lays dormant and then comes back with vengence.. only the black label imported (glass bottle) guiness stout.. kills heartworm.. the regular cheap beer wont.. its been used successfully on 6 dogs in the past 3 yrs.. and the people were very happy to get their dogs back.. the vet was not so happy, and he lost money.. oh well.. we have enough animals here, that one bottle does not last past the dose day.. grin. we also used the guiness to treat a rescue ferret that had hook worms in the brain.. he had seizures, and lots of problems.. I started giving him half an eye dropper of guiness before every feeding and we were feeding him 4 times per day.. after the beer, he was fed about 2 eye droppers of baby liver. he fought the beer, but after the 3rd day we started to really see a LOT of improvement.. it actually confirmed what we had begun to see, but were not sure if it was that he was actually getting FED .. it helped.. but the beer was actually improving him the most. he made a complete recovery also. this was before i knew about Neem Oil or the dmso.. grin. We open the bottle, and measure it out per animal (3 dogs 2 cats) pour it over their food and let it sit that way.. heather's gets marinated over her raw food.. cats get it squirted down their throats.. we are lucky to get 3/4 down.. I do the holding.. they know better than to try to bite me! no one here gets drunk, nor staggers.. OH. also know of someone that used the guiness to treat Ehrlichoisis, with great success (although they were drinking the other half of the beer.. ) dog is GREAT now.. and no signs nor false positives of that crap. its own vets wrote it off as not surviving.. but she is doing great.. and very healthy now. phine MorningStar & , Pyr, Mobility & MASD Native American in Massachusetts Never threaten anyone.

The subject is ' tick repellant nontoxic' and the beer information (although very good information), doesn't mention ticks. Is the author saying beer works on worms AND ticks? We don't have a lot of worm issues here but the ticks are another story.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Well, you see, I have no one to do the body check so it's just too risky. I am not willing to suit up like I'm taking a walk on the moon every time I go out. I've decided to be a city dweller and only venture into nature when I am relatively sure they don't have ticks. Like at high altitudes and in the mediterranean. Then of course, you're dealing with muggers, terrorists, bears and intolerable heat . . . Of course, there are winter outdoor sports to enjoy. . . Until they come up with a vaccine, I am afraid these are my choices.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 when I find a tick on me I have to remember to tape it to an index card with date and location if applicable as I am all over the place with my work and finding a tick on myself I have to wonder how long its been on me too , but the tape and index card is a good way I would think to ID it for study , any ideas appreciated as I am pulling ticks off dogs right and left ! I have heard of studies in woods catching them for study is there anyway one could do so to send to whom ever that are in my area Groton mass, and if there is no study being done I would like to start one in my area thank you for having me Blessed be Bobbi In a message dated 3/28/2010 9:12:39 A.M.

Where else is it not safe to go out? not safe: almost anywhere in the temperate climate zones. Even in Brazil they now have a 'Lyme simile' disease caused by an Bb species that is not yet certain. So the best advice is indeed to stay on the tracks, do not go into high grass, bushes etc. Don't think for a minute it is safe if there are no deer (or similar animals) in the area! Bb infection numbers in ticks can be just as high in areas without big mammals, as they are spread by rodents, birds, hedgehogs or whatever is available for transport at the location.

DANGEROUS. I would consider using a general anti-tick vaccine (probably less effective, but could be safe). But only if it is coming from someone not associated with the Worm and his friends.

But these other ticks carry Bb and coinfections just the same, and most of the deer/sheep etc. occasionally feed on the same animals, spreading the infection (that is probably how the Bb species can spread so fast, even across the oceans).

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 We are so screwed-- meaning the human race. I always thought since we have no more large predators, the micro organisms are going to reduce our numbers, and maybe we'll learn how to live in harmony with the Earth once again.

If there are no deer, sheep, cattle etc. the ticks will choose humans or their pets. Shooting deer as a preventive measure against Lyme disease is only effective in stricly isolated places like small islands. In most situations it will make things worse, usually with a 2-3 year lag though - so sometimes it seems to be effective the next year.
