I am emailing to ask about the use of your product in a dog. I have a 12 year old german shepherd mix that developed demodectic mange last fll. Its been about a year now. You are probably not familiar with that disease in dogs but its a disease related to a suppressed immune system especially in older dogs. Its generally a puppy disease that clears itself. A mite that invades the hair follical and then causes infections is what the disease is. Noramlly a healthy dogs immune system can fight these mites of but for whatever reason, they stop being able to do this and the mites take over. Its not the typical mange you would think of with dogs and its not even contagious.

There are 3 methods used to try to fight this disease. One a chemical dip called Mitaban that I really dont want to put on my dog especially at his age. It has severe side effects. The other is the use of Ivermectin which is not able to be used safely in border collies which he is probably the other half of. The third is a daily heartworm pill which I started him on originally but it was causeing liver damage. Image that! A pill supposed to be given once a month for heartworm and they want to use it daily.

So I have ben trying to fight this naturally by boosting his immune system with supplements. Just about any herb, vitamin, colostrum that can boost the immune system I have used for him but I am slowly losing the battle. Eventually it may very well be the reason he is put to sleep. Not long ago, thats what happened to dogs diagnosed with this disease.

The reason I come to you for help is that typically for an older dog to get this his immune system is weakened from an underlying cause such as thyroid problems, liver problems or even cancer. Bloodtests have not been able to find anything as recent as this past sunday. So what scares me is that maybe its cancer somewhere. They havent looked for it though. With your product being made to help protect and stop cancer and boost the immune system, it would seem like a possible option. Boosting his immune system though seems to be paramount in fighting this disease. Cancer is just a possibility that I may be looking at.

Not knowing whats in the product I cant safely give it to him. Im not worried about the pricing because like I said, with everything else I am buying for him, it may be cheaper! Its easy to say just try it but I was wondering what your thoughts on this were. I guarantee you there are bunch of dog owners out there that fight this disease and are so frustrated as I am. I really dont want to dip my dog in this Mitaban stuff. Its flammable and will melt plastic!! I would appreciate any input on my problem that you can offer me.
