Flea, Tick and Heartworm Repellents…SARDS
Posted on September 5th, 2013With the sudden increase in the numbers of SARDS patients that are now being reported, I am concerned that flea, tick and heartworm repellents that contain Ivermectin or any associated chemicals, may add to or may be the cause of SARDS. As a side effect, Ivermectin is known to cause blindness in dogs, and may create an endocrine immune imbalance that will cause or add to the SARDS issue. I would suggest never using any products that contain these chemicals if you have a SARDS dog.
Please realize if this chemical can alter the endocrine immune homeostasis in the body and can create the autoimmunity that causes SARDS, as an animal owner, please also be concerned that this chemical may be the cause and reason why the incidence of allergies, other autoimmune diseases and cancer are on the rise.
Please also realize that there are other monthly chemical insect repellants that may also alter your pets endocrine immune wellbeing.
Research indicates that the use of the chemical fipronil can reduce the production of active thyroid hormone thus reducing your pets ability to breakdown and excrete various chemicals, supplements and medications, besides altering their endocrine immune homeostasis.
Products that contain spinosad, spinetoram and milbemycin oxide all may cause blindness, neurological disease and death besides being involved with causing many other chronic, catastrophic diseases.
For your own edification, please Google some of these chemicals to realize all their bad side effects and then do what you should do with anything you take or give to your pet, READ THE LABEL!
Now that you are aware of these problems that these monthly flea, tick and heartworm repellent chemicals may cause, please ask your veterinarian to suggest a safe alternative.
These are just my thoughts and I hope they help and keep your pet healthy.
I recommend Amber Technology’s Organic Herbal “HWF” as a monthly heartworm preventative. Their studies concluded with 100% of all dogs in the study as heartworm free. I’ve been using it for 3 years and had same results with my dogs and all my friends dogs. It’s easy – for mild to medium risk areas you do a few drops once a day for 7 days – once a month. It’s so freeing to be using a natural product and not be a slave to the fear of the (toxic and controlling) Vets.
Thank you for your suggestion.
I really appreciate it.

Our 9-year-old Mini-Dachshund began having noticeable vision issues 3 weeks ago with Cushing’s-like symptoms. After routine blood tests were second Cushing’s results came back negative and we took her to the UW-Madison Vet School Clinic where a specialist quickly diagnosed SARDS after testing. Our dog take Heartguard, which contains Ivermectin. We will take her and our other mini- doxie off that and ask our vet for another recommendation to play it safe. It’s a horrible experience to have a loved one go blind. The vet community needs to reinstitute a national database of SARDS cases so research can eventually find the cause(s) and eventually prevent this disease.
The cause is due to an easily measured endocrine imbalance that you can read about on my website.
I have found the cause of SARDS even though my profession has not. Please read about it on this website or Google SARDS and Dr. Plechner.
Please let me know if I can help your veterinarian to do this if they are open to using protocol.
Sincerely,
Dr. AL Plechner
What do you recommend for a 14 week old doberman puppy for heart worm preventative?
My 11 year old Jack Russell Terrier was diagnosed with SARD’s in July. He was switched to Iverhart in Oct. of 2012. What do you suggest as a safe heartworm preventative? Also, how can I approach my vet to get on the program with his care. His proprioception is gone. We are all suffering.
Thank you for your e-mail.
You might want your vet to Google SARDS or send him to http://www.drplechner.com and under Get Help, my protocol etc. is explained and if he is interested in working with me, please fill out the Consultation for on my website.
http://www.wondercide.com has a natural spay that can be used weekly for fleas, ticks and mosquitos.
I am still looking for an herbal, oral, natural product that will prevent heartworm disease.
SARDS is an autoimmune disease that is easily identified with my protocol and if identified and treatment a s soon as possible, 75 % of the patients with SARDS do recover some eyesight.
Unfortunately my profession will not look at my findings and successful treatments and seem to rather send the patient home saying there is no cure.
This is very, very sad.
It makes you wonder why they are healers?
Sorry for venting.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Dr. AL Plechner
