Who
decided
that
daily,
feed-through
wormers
and
paste
wormers
made
of
poison
are
a
good
idea?
In
the
past
100
years
we
have
been
taught
to
believe
that
we
can
eat
poison
and
it
will
be
good
for
us.
Can
we
feed
our
animals
poison
and
not
harm
them
as
well?
This
approaches
represents
fear-based
thinking:
fear
of
germs
and
parasites;
fear
of
failing
our
animal
companions.
Fears
taught
to
us
by
the
pharmaceutical
companies
and
the
Big
Five
multi-national
corporations
that
make
most
of
our
pet
foods.
I
prefer
to
focus
on
the
goal
of
health:
supporting
the
immune
system,
cleansing
the
organs
of
elimination
with
regular
detoxification
programs
and
feeding
my
animals
what
Mother
Nature
fed
them.
Many
parasites
such
as
strongyles
and
ascarids
are
developing
resistance
to
ivermectin.
The
traditional
approach
has
become
to
add
in
more
potent
and
varied
poisons
in
to
kill
the
evil
creatures.
Instead,
why
don’t
we
look
at
the
underlying
reason
that
an
animal
with
parasites
is
susceptible
in
the
first
place?
Why
is
it
that
with
10
horses
out
in
the
pasture,
only
one
develops
parasites?
They
are
eating
the
same
diet,
surrounded
by
the
same
parasites
all
day
long.
What
is
the
difference?
The
susceptible
horse
is
the
one
with
the
compromised
immune
system
-
he
is
a
hospitable
host.
His
digestive
tract
may
not
have
healthy
gut
flora
to
fight
off
the
parasites,
or
his
liver
may
not
be
able
to
produce
enough
T-cells
or
enzymes
to
support
a
strong
immune
response.
Do
we
help
this
problem
by
adding
poisons
to
the
mix?
It
is
healthier
and
more
cost
effective
to
help
the
horse
be
an
inhospitable
host
for
parasites.
I
regularly
give
my
horses
and
dogs
herbs
and
clays
that
flush
and
support
the
liver
and
kidneys.
We
use
an
herbal
worming
program
to
provide
a
more
alkaline
pH
and
an
electromagnetic
field
that
repels
parasites.
Using
probiotics
and
herbs,
our
horses
and
dogs
have
had
zero
fecal
counts
for
over
10
years.
We
have
not
seen
colic,
allergies,
abscesses
or
other
serious
non-trauma
health
issues.
Our
animal
partners
survived
for
tens
of
thousands
of
years
without
parasite
prevention
programs.
They
lived
in
balance
with
the
parasites
that
nature
provided
for
a
reason.
Parasites
are
natures
way
of
culling
the
weak
and
carrying
away
waste.
They
rarely
go
where
they
are
not
needed.
Anywhere
in
your
life
where
you
regularly
reach
for
toxic
“preventatives”
try
looking
for
ways
to
help
the
body
(yours,
or
your
animal’s)
stay
healthy
instead.
Support
the
body’s
natural
healing
mechanisms
by
giving
it
the
nutrition
it
needs
to
heal
itself.
