TED'S REMEDY READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  06/13/2007: Janice from Louisiana writes: "ted.. i just wanted to thank you for letting the world know about this cure (treatment) for red mange. my chinese pug (solid black) had come down with the red mange. it began when i gave him his monthly heart worm pill (ivermectin) which he must have had an allergic reaction to. within two days this poor pooch was scratching himself raw, to the point of bleeding, his hair was falling out, his tongue and mouth were swollen and he had no energy. i did research on this disorder only to find that vet's would give him the same ivermectin to cure the red mange. i was not a happy camper. so i did my research and came upon the peroxide and borax mixture. i believe in holistic medicines, so i decided to give it a try. the first treatment was on a Thursday. Friday he laid around all day with no energy. his second treatment was on a saturday, and he ran outside to try and get the mixture off of his mouth. it kinda foamed a bit on his lips. i also took the advice on the borax in his drinking water. then i started him on a meat diet. he gets boiled chicken each night with vitamin supplements. within a week of treatments, his sores have healed up, he has quit scratching and when he is bathed, he no longer looses a cup of hair. the most amazing thing was watching his energy level come back to life. his hair is slowly coming back and i am glad to have my dog back again. he has even begun to sleep in the bed with me again. the only difficulty i had was in the measurements of ingredients. so, i figured them out for all us americans. the appropriate measures are: 2 cups of Hydrogen Peroxide + 2 cups of water + 3 heaping Tablespoons of Borax. this is the mixture that is poured over the freshly bathed dog and do NOT dry them off. i let mine outside to run off some of the moisture. thanks so much for giving me back my dog. i will only use the earthclinic from now on for my poor pooch."

After reading all the feedback and learning that your dog was 13 I just went right ahead and did it. I have a pure bred fox-terrier wired hair, actually I have three but Charlie is the one with demodectic mange. Two years ago Charlie was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and therefore he has low immune system. The doctor told me he had some type of allergy so a test was conducted in 2004 and therefore he was placed on this allergy program of allergenic extracts for a whole year. I stopped it because I saw no improvement on the contrary between the prednisone and the program he was getting worse. Then he was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and was given cyclosporine capsules and after four capsules the dog started vomiting, stopped eating was lethargic so I stopped giving him those. This poor dog has continued since 2004 with the itch and has two patches of missing hair on either side because he chews desperately. He has been given prednisone and antibiotics but then this year he got a black spot on his back so the doctor had that scraped to see if it was cancerous. Thank God, it was not cancerous but discovered he had demodectic mange. He put him on a daily dose of ivermectin, antibiotics for ten days and antihistamine. He took it the whole month of April, when I took him in for a test he still had the demodectic mange. He said continue another month (May) of ivermectin etc. after giving him another box I saw he was not improving he was itching like crazy and was wobbling. I thought, if I continue like this I am going to kill this dog. I stopped the treatment I have to take him in this month for another test after having finished with the medication. I stopped the treatment and I looked desperately on line to see if there was any cure. I found you, Ted and I want to tell you I gave him the first treatment yesterday. Today since he is still itchy I said come here and I will cure you. Since I read that you said it was good to blow dry the hair, I went to get the hair dryer and when I came back, he was still waiting next to the sink. That meant that he felt relieved with the first treatment usually I have to go after them because they don't stay when it's bath time, they run even though after the bath they feel great but it's always the same thing. When I saw Charlie waiting next to the sink I couldn't believe it. The first time I left him wet in the garage but the second day I blew dry the hair. I am dying to see him totally well. I already see he is relieved but I want to see him totally well. I haven't dared give him the borax in the water because I am afraid since he has Hypothyroidism. I started the treatment of peroxide with borax on June 2,2007 and I have done it twice on a daily basis until I see that it is totally under control then I will do it once a week. Ted, I want to thank you so very much for your valuable and life saving information. You are so very kind in sharing this so that these poor suffering animals can lead a normal life. Thank you again. P.S. Mil? a lump the size of a pea on his lip and I put some of this with a sponge. I will let you know the results of both my doggies. Thank you."

[YEA]  05/30/2007: Amanda (pkaywarrior@aol.com) from Wichita, KS writes: "CURE DEMODECTIC AND SARCOPTIC MANGE: This remedy is GREAT!!!!! Here is my story. My boyfriend brought home a dog that was given to him. She looked funny, she was thin and she had patches of hair gone. I though she was just adjusting to the new environment. I found out she is a picky eater. Well, she is a smart dog and allows me to keep her tied up. When she is ready, she can and will get loose. To make a long story short, she had puppies and by then, all the hair on her head had fallen off and her puppies were beginning to loose hair in spots. She was itching herslef until she had scratches, I was giving her benedryl to stop the itching. I got on line and figured out she had Sarcoptic Mange. I found that you can smother them by putting baby oil on the dog. That only kept it at bay. I found this remedy and tried it. I went to Walmart and bought the supplies. I treated her and the first day her skin started flaking. A few days later, I treated her again and I started seeing peach fuzz on her head. I also put a little in her drinking water for inside out treatment. Now she looks like a completely different dog and the puppies hair grew back also. SO if any dog has puppies and you are worried if the puppies may be harmed, they won't. I did not treat them, I treated her and put some borax in her water. As she was being treated, the left over residue from her treatment and the borax in her treated the puppies also, they were still feeding. I also found that giving her green tea boosts her immune system.My boyfriend wants to take the credit, but I really have to give the credit to Ted."

[YEA]  05/03/2007: Betty (bjjohnson@isainet.com) from Rector, AR writes: "I tried Ted's proxide and borax remedy . I am very proud that i ran across this sight when looking for a cure on the net. I had Doxie puppies that caught it from mother, she was so malnourished " my fault i have to say bought a different brand of food , didn't check the label good. " That is all it could have been, have done nothing different . anyway she quit feeding the pups at three weeks and with the mange thought sure i would loose them . went and got the fixings and bathed them as directed and could tell a difference with the first treatment. have had three baths now and all three are getting their hair back one has got all of his. mother and her mate have recovered almost as quickley. thank you so much . I advise anyone to try it first works better than most vet remedies i have tried."

[YEA]  03/29/2007: Yoanna from Middlebury, VT writes: "My dog (only one of the two I have) got mange. I didn't have the money to take her to vet so I was pushed to searching for some home remedies. When I found this site and Ted's recipe with boraz and peroxide, I was determined to try it. It only cost under $5 and with the second day of treatment her hair started growing! I used water and peroxide 1 to 1 and put in more borax than what got dissolved in the water. After giving her a bath I would take a handful of the solution plus some borax that settled on the bottom of the solution and smear it onto her skin. She was white with the boraz powder which would stick to her hair. I would make her stand with this on in the bathroom up to 10 minutes and then let her quickly outside so she would not start licking it off, but sort of - get the frustration of it out of her system in the running around. I repeated it for three days and then once a week for two months. Her hair is all back now but a few small spots and that is going too. Now that the pet food recall has been on the newa, I think her problem may have been due to a lowered immune system due to eathng some of the recalled canned food. My other dog may hve not eaten it -- I buy them different kinds of dog caans and mix it with their dry food. Between the first three months of this year they most probably had a few cans of the poisoned food... I am now thinking of switching to dry food plus some meat from the store, will see how this goes. I have a question about the (home) environment around her that I had to treat -- I could not find tannic acid anywhere, I tried farm food stores, pet stores, home improvement stores etc. Finally I settled for a Lysol spray and some 'killer' spray that I got at the pet store with which they spray all the store at the end of the day. Can you recommend where to get tannic acid or another product that would be avaiable to buy just like borax and peroxide? Sincerely,"

They have had to go to the doctor and have them lanced. I have a problem with my right leg that turned into a staph infection. I have an awful scar left there now. My oldest daughter swears there is something wrong with our water here. Cancer is like an epidemic here, my Grandfather died from cancer, my Dad has bladder cancer, my Mom has outbreaks of facial skin cancer and was diagnosed with Lupus last summer. My oldest daughter has had breast cancer twice (first time at age 26), she is now 31. My son-in-law moved here from New Mexico 5 years ago and he just had surgery for testicular cancer. There are many people in this town I know of who have died from cancer here. I am so glad I came across this website. I have already tried Ted's Borax remedy on my dogs and am amazed!! 2 days and the itching is almost completely stopped!"

[NAY]  02/27/2007: Mich from Virginia Beach, VA writes: "I used the Hydrogen Peroxide and Borax cure for mange on my pup for 3 months. For about a week I thought she had been cured but, she started to lose hair in other places and she just wasn't getting better. We had to take her in today for a Mitaban dip which I was highly against initially, I wanted to go natural but after battling this mange and her skin was just getting drier and drier from the borax and peroxide treatment. I let her skin rest for a week and today she is at the vet for her 1st dip. I really wished the borax and hydrogen peroxide had worked but it seems the mange had a mind of its own and took its toll on her."

[YEA]  02/05/2007: Jason from Bundaberg, Australia writes: "I have used the Mange cure as per the Instructions. I used Harpers brand Borax and 3% peroxide diluted to 1% both available at woolworths in Australia and found it to work great. Thanx for the cure Ted. Cheers Jason"

[YEA]  01/26/2007: Terri from Ft. Lauderdale writes: "I want to Thank Ted for his Dermodex Mange home remedy. My 8 month old Rotti puppy was diagnosed with dermodex mange around her eye. The vet recommended Mitaban. after reading up on side effects, I decided to try a more holistic treatment when I came across Ted's treatment. I have to say I was a little skeptical. But after only one treatment my puppy's eye looks so much better.(one week ago) I am going to give her a few more treatments. I have since had her spayed since we received the diagnosis and she was also going to one vet that she was always very upset going to. I think it was caused by stress. I have taken before and after pics and what a difference. In just one week. Thanks! Ted."

I had someone fly a box of borax from the states to the PHilippines as they don't carry borax in this country. I took a pinch (about a tablespoon) to about an 8oz bottle of water and added peroxide. The borax works in a spray bottle cause the fine grains of borax dissolve completely. On day 2, I was amazed that the dogs hair started growing back after no hair since late 2004. Then there's these white flakes coming off the dog. This is really amazing. Asia dogs are commonly full of mites, I guess that's what they are turning the skin red in a patch around an inch in diameter. Now I'm wondering if this will stop the ticks. The ticks in Asia lay a350 eggs that are transparent, so mopping the floor with borax and peroxide might stop them from hatching. In the Philippines the baby ticks climb the walls once they are big enough to see visually. So, yesterday someone flew in with a box and borax and less than 24 hours later, I'm seeing hair grow back on the dog and hoping it also kills the baby ticks. This is better than any vet's poisons. A cockapoo is a cross between two thorough breeds and I've thought it poor to have brouhgt the dog to Asia, but now I'm wondering if borax and peroxide will solve that too. Thanks a lot for the solution. It really is amazing after all the poisons and shots I've paid vet's for."

[YEA]  01/24/2007: Mich from Virgina Beach, VA writes: "Hi Ted thank you so much for saving my puppy. A quick review, we lost one puppy to full body demodectic mange by treating it with ivermectin. We found your site and used the borax and hydrogen peroxide treatment. It was a long road but finally after treating her with this she is finally growing hair! No more itching! She is due for a scraping on Friday and we will let you know how it goes. Thanks again."

[YEA]  01/08/2007: Garry from RI writes: "Hi, Just wanted to thank you for listing that mange treatment. My dog had mange bad enough that he would chew out large patches of fur and several times chewed his tail bloody and bare when I was away at work. I tried Lindane, which marginally worked, and a product by Zodiac as well as a lime sulpher dip. The Zodiac product worked the best but it was an old dusty bottle on the petstore shelf and I could not find it again to buy more once it was gone. He has had the mange a number of years. Caught it from a visit to the vet!! Saw the responses to your treatments and I gave him two dips with the peroxide / borax the first couple of weeks and then switched to a 50 / 50 water / white vinegar / borax dip ever since. I used white instead of ACV because it's cheaper and it seems that it's the acetic acid that is the carrier into the skin. ALL of his hair is back and he hardly scratches anymore. He gets the recommended borax in the the drinking water too. I intend to give him maintenance dips once every month or so and may continue with the Borax in the drinking water as an ongoing thing. Great advice! Thanks again!"

[YEA]  12/10/2006: LaDonna from Longwood, FL writes: "All I can say is WOW!!! What a difference within 1 week on my Golden Retriever-Riley. Thank you, thank you so much for this remedy. My dog has been suffering for at least 3 weeks, I had no clue as to what was wrong with him. He is known to have allergies consistantly but I knew something was different with him when he started loosing his hair and chewing all over his body like something was eating him up. I started to do research last week when someone had suggested that he may have mites or the mange. I came across this website and read Ted's remedy. I knew I had to give it a shot, anything before taking him to the vet ( I did not want him to go through the process of a highly toxic dip). I did the remedy exactly as stated, no changes were made-did not dry him, etc..... As of today, remember-1 week ago I did this, he is getting his hair back, no red bumps oozing with blood, no chewing off his hair. His coat is beginning to get its shine back and we both can sleep at night without the excessive scratching. It works folks, try it and you will be amazed. I do have before and after pictures if anyone would like to see the results. Thank you, LaDonna......gladonna1968@yaho.com"

She did appear to get worst before getting better and she needed several treatments in the first couple of weeks. Although her hair did lighten dramatically, she appears to be getting slowly back to her normal color now. Her hair is also growing back for which I'm very relieved because she lost so much of her hair. Everyone who saw her felt so sorry. Now I'm giving her approximately one treatment every week or two and plan to keep it up for another month or longer if necessary. I'm so grateful to you Ted and thank you for sharing your rememdy with all of us. Thank you too for answering our questions over and over. I can understand some of these writers when they are doing the treatments on their own pets, they just want to make sure it's right. Sincerely,"

At the end of the two weeks I had her scrapped she was negative. A week later I had her checked again, still negative. It has been about 6 weeks and she is just beautiful. Her hair is almost all back. I took her to the vet and she thought I got a new dog. We are having some other problems, she keeps getting pyoderma. The vet puts her on antibiotics and it clears when she is done the pyoderma comes back. Any suggestions? Thank you so much for the mange cure. I was so afraid of the dip."

As I wrote earlier, Onyx gets very scared when a hose is used for bathing, so I have yet to bathe her. I have been using the solution as a "sponge bath" on her bare spots and around her eyes twice a day for just over a week now... within 3 days the hair was starting to grow back!! Two of the spots over her hips are barely noticable now. She's not crazy about being sponged along her muzzle or down the front of her chest...but we manage. Thanks to the combination of the antibiotics for the pustules and the borax solution, she doesn't smell like a nasty dog anymore! She goes back to her vet in a couple of weeks for a recheck - I will definitely be telling him about your cure!"

[YEA]  10/09/2006: Nancy from Selma, Indiana writes: "I took my chocolate lab to (2) different vets trying to figure out what was going on with his skin. They put him on cortisone pills, antibiotics, had me dip him in sulphur dips on five day intervals. Nothing seemed to help him. He would appear to somewhat get better, but nothing major noticeable. The smell never eased up. On my own, I tried vinegar baths and other things to try and ease up and/or cure his condition. Nothing ever helped. A year later and about $500.00 American dollars poorer; I was about to give up hope of helping him. Then, I stumbled onto your remedy using peroxide, borax, and water. I thought, why not give it a shot; I've spent out all sorts of $$ on every type of cure thinkable. If it helps him, I would be so much relieved for him. I went to the store that evening and bought a box of mule team borax, two bottle of peroxide (I anticipated more than one treatment, and I was right) and a sponge for application. The next afternoon, I cornered the poor fellow and sponged on a dose of the mixture. He wasn't impressed, but he is a little gun shy about washings and dips since he has been subjected to so much in and so many treatments already. I laid in on heavy this first treatment , and left it to dry up on him. He rolled around in the yard like any other treatment or bath and then went about his usual business. The next day, he seemed less flaky; and when I brushed him, the skin flakes seemed to just come right out with ease. Two days later, I made up another batch. A little less potent this time. I sponged him down again ( to his dismay, he hates personal hygiene issues now) I left this on to dry. The next day, he had some dried up flakes; but not near as many. Most of the yellowish scale was gone; and his odor was starting to improve (Not gone all the way though) Two days later, I again made up another batch and sponged it all over him. Left it to dry. The next day, he had hardly any new flakes, his odor is gone, hair is starting to re grow. I'm just totally amazed. I am going to make a spritz and lightly spritz him once a week when I brush him out and hopefully he will remain in remission for whatever this stuff was. Maybe it was the red mange. Whatever it was, your #2 cure has given him his life back. He had to be miserable. Thank you for sharing your remedy; I'm ecstatic. $3.90 for a box of borax, $1.00 for 2 bottles of peroxide, a couple cents worth of water equals approximately $5.00..................my dog's well being and peace of mind from the savages of his skin condition, priceless!"

[YEA]  10/04/2006: Dominique from New York, NY writes: "Thank you so much for your cure. It truly worked. My dog SERIOUS is a one year old Pit Bull. She developed Red Mange during a recent trip to New Orleans. It attacked her right under her mouth on her neck. At first I thought that it was just an infection from flea bites but then it began to spread and made little bead-like sores beneath her skin that were purplish-red in color. Then her hair began to disappear and when she scratched it left an unbearable odor. I found this sight, Thank God! And bought the "Mule" Borax mixed it with water until it would no longer dissolve and poured in 3% Peroxide, I also added cayenne pepper, I poured it all over her coat. Internally I gave her Cayenne Pepper/Golden Seal and Burdock Root. AT first she got worse but then after one week I saw drastic improvements. I used this solution 2X a week on her whole body and every night on her neck where the problem was worse. I gave her the internal gumbo-mix every night for about 2 weeks Today, she is completely cured. I don't even remember where it was in the first place. I would say it took about 4 to 6 weeks for it to completely disappear. Thank you TED for sharing you recipe."

I received the cutest little puppy as a gift and she was beautiful but itchy. I didn't realize it until it got way out of control. At first she was biting her feet and scratching her ears. Then came the licking. Scratching herself until she bled from her face. I was horrified!!! She developed all these red, hairless & bumpy patches mainly on her ears and face that she would rip open from scratching.She couldn't nap or more than 10 minutes at a time, which also made her very grouchy. First we thought it was corn allergy. NOT. still tearing herself up. Then I did some research and we gave her some benedryl, that seemed to make her sooo sleepy, but at least she could rest. Still had it and becoming worse. The vet suggested we use the dip. After all I've heard about this stuff I decided to try remedy #2 before we went the dipping route. One last ditch attempt for relief, I thought. The vet was was upset with my decision and said it will only become worse and she may develop skin infections in the meantime. I took the chance. I went to Wal-mart and got the Borax for for under $3.00 and the huge peroxide for a buck. $4.00 total. I mixed up the ingredients for remedy #2 and {diluting 3% peroxide with 2 parts water to one part peroxide and the borax and mixed it well./ Hot water makes her itch worse so I used warm water for the first part water and added the borax, it dissolved great, then I added the other part cold water and the peroxide and continued to stir until it was mixed. I washed her with V05 and rinsed with cool water then put on the remedy with the plug in the tub cuz her feet were starting to be affected. I poured it all over and was careful to get every inch of her. I had to use a clean wash cloth to dip in the tub and get her face, ears and chin and all around her hairless mouth. It was messy and hard to keep hr from shaking it off all over the walls so I draped a clean towel over her back as I "babysat" her until she was dry.I left her to sop everywhere but kept the back towel on for as long as I could cuz the walls were hit!! no pun intended. She is a big girl at 5 months old and 48 lbs. Great dane mix we think so it was hard to pull this off. Back to the real point here!!!! With her first bath she showed AMAZING results. The scratching was almost GONE!!! First bath, unbelievable!!!By the next day all the redness was gone except from around her mouth and chin. On the 3rd day I noticed hair regrowth around her eyes. At the end of the first week with one bath she looks almost normal with little golden hairs filling in her nakedness. She has 1 bath every week for 3 weeks now, my vet hasn't seen me since. We all thank you and especially Brandy ,our big puppy."
