I have some awesome pictures of my puppy before and after the borax/peroxide treatment. Like most, I was skeptical whether or not this cure would work, but I am truly amazed with the results thus far. Let me know if I can give you these pics to use on your website.

I tried Ted's Remedy and I have to tell you.. The relief for my pup was immediate.. IMMEDIATE. He began playing again and looked at me like he was sooo grateful to not itch. I use it qute often now and it kills fleas as well and HIS FUR HAS GROWN BACK AND HIS PRETTY TAIL IS ALMOST FULL AGAIN... One month and a little more. I am very grateful. His ears are cleaning up too so the 'bug' or whatever it was must have been the problem there. He is like a puppy again and wants to play. Thank you... Thank you... from me and Duke....

Speedy and dramatic recovery. Ollie was a stray who showed up a month ago with fairly severe sarcoptic mange. Dramatic and speedy recovery using Ted's basic treatment. Ollie weighed 41 lbs when we found him - used a mixture of 2 c hydrogen peroxide, 4 c water, 2/3 c borax. After shampooing and rinsing, used the entire amount to rinse again, making sure to use get the underside of his body.
Did the treatment every 3 days for the first two weeks, then once a week.

So I decided to use the Borax treatment. Well in two day he was running on all four paws barking and playing and he is almost completly recovered!!! I was doing the treatment EVERY OTHER DAY due to the fact that I could no longer watch him suffer and it paid off one thousand percent!!! I called a pet radio station and talked to "warren" a national pet show to ask about this treatment. He would not answer. Liability I guess, he kept saying go to the Vet go to the Vet go to the Vet. I told him I did and they made it WORSE!!! He never did give me any feedback so thats why I'm Typing my story for the next stressed out folks! THIS HAS BEEN THE REAL DEAL!!! DO NOT DELAY OR WORRY ABOUT THE PEROXIDE!

Six months ago, the skin got incredibly worse. A friend suggested a specific treatment, and it actually helped a lot. The fur grew back, most of the itching stopped, and the skin color changed to healthy pink/white again. About three months ago, that all changed and my dog lost the majority of fur on her legs and torso. The itching was crazy. I started the previous treatment right away, as the fur loss and skin color change literally all took place in a couple of days. The previous treatment was not working.
Then, I noticed some hair loss on her face, I knew right then, no matter what skin scrapes said it was demodex. I immediately used the Goodwinol ointment on her face. Even that didn't help. The demodex was not localized but generalized so I knew extreme measures had to be taken. I do not like using ivermectin for Demodex as even though it can boost the immune system it is a temporary solution to an ongoing problem.
I purchased the Borax/peroxide and made the solution. I added coconut oil and ester C to the dog's diet to boost the immune system. Literally, the very next day, I saw fuzz coming in on the affected areas. The skin wasn't angry red and where it was black it was going lighter in color. I have administered the bath 4 times in the past week, as this case is the most severe I have seen. Each day I have seen marked improvement in the skin and fur growth, as well as decrease in the itching. Amazingly enough, the skin has not dried out, which could be a direct result of the coconut oil added to the diet. Once we have the issue under control I will have the dog spayed as we are well aware that the heat cycle instigates the rapid production of demodex mites. We may always have issues with the mites with this dog, but at least we know how to manage the condition and can work on boosting her immune system.
I am very grateful to have found this treatment, and wished that I had used it six months ago. Thank you!

Better But With Side Effects
I didn't bath the dog in Ted's solution as he'd just gotten his hair done at the salon (who called and notified us of the rashes on his stomach which they thought were indicative of an allergy or staph infection). Instead, I mixed 150ml of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution with 300ml of distilled water then I mixed in 1 tablespoon of the borax (laundry cleaner). I put this all in a 500ml bottle and shook it until the borax had either mixed in or formed a solid mass that settled at the bottom of the bottle (I assumed the settlement was the portion that couldn't be dissolved). I then put the liquid in a spray bottle and sprayed the areas of his tummy which had the rash. I also sprayed some on his back and tried to push it through his hair without messing up his cute cocker spaniel hair cut. While the instructions recommend bathing in the solution once a week, I've sprayed the tummy area several times since the initial application as I thought that would be close to simulating a full body bath for the effected body parts. I've now begun to notice that my dog's black hair has been lightened as though the 1% hydrogen peroxide is having a bleaching effect. Is this typical? Is it because I've sprayed the solution on my dog more than once?
Although the rashes appear to be drying out, I don't want to keep spraying my dog with the solution because of the hair lightening effect. Despite this, I do still want to continue to promote the healing process. In between weekly applications of the borax/h2o2 solution, can I resume using the Gentamicin Sulfate spray or will this decrease the effectiveness of the borax/h2o/h2o2 solution? Please advise.

Warning
after reading such positive feedback on this website for the above treatment for demodex mange. I decided to apply this on my 2 year old femal pitbul who had lost all her hair on her muzzle, around the eyes and was no longer responding to ivomec, lime sulphur dips. I tried amitraz once on her and she did not react well to is, so you can imagine my excitement to find the borax h2o2 cure. I did the dip as advised however the next day my dog's entire face was 5 times its original size and she was oozing blood from her eyelids, ears, muzzle.
She had such a bad reaction to this treatment that I would like to warn anyone new who would be tempted to try this. No wonder we never hear about this treatment anywhere else except this particular website. I would discourage people from trying treatments like I did without my vet's approval. The first thing I did was to give her a bath and make sure that the deadly mixture was out of her fur and body as much as possible. I then rushed her to the vet where she is being treated but she looks bad. If I could post a photograph of her on this site, you would know the before and after.

In desperation, I tried Ted's mange remedy. It stopped her itching. She was severe, and every two days or so, the itching came back so I filled a spray bottle and sprayed her - rubbing it into her skin. I bathed her once/week with the peroxide/borax solution at first and tapered off as she got better. I also gave her zinc - about 25 mg/day and tapered off after a week. It took perseverance but she eventually healed and it was so good to have the itch gone so quickly. I have health problems myself and did not have the energy to go looking for mange nests. I tapered to giving her zinc once/week and that seems to be taking care of it - keeping her immunity up. I do know that if I forget the zinc for too long, I will see the mange creeping back. As soon as I see it coming, I get right back on it.
Thanks so much Ted and others for this fantastic remedy. The key to success is persistance.

Warning
Just buy plain 100% borax (as Ted says if you can't find the sodium perborate)-- you can find it at groceries/Target which usually carries the 20 Mule Team brand.
Don't forget to treat the household/floors/bedding/
socks/feet etc., or the cycle of recontamination will continue.
Virgin coconut oil given to eat by the tsp. And applied on skin is an excellent antiseptic balm. ($6~$12 jar at health food stores, lasts over a year, great value).
Good luck!

(1) I would assume that if the provider of the remedy titled it "Cure for Demodectic and Sarcoptic Mange, it does not matter which kind your dog has, this remedy should work for both kinds of mites, and as Ted says, fleas, ticks and other critters.
(2) The notion that a dog who manifests an outbreak of demodectic mites is genetically inferior and unworthy of breeding is suspect at best. Consider, the underlying reason for most demodectic episodes is a compromised immune system. It does not follow that this is a genetic deficiency when the primary reason for poor pet immune response is POOR DIET. So all these yahoos who militantly advocate the destruction of an animal's raison de etre, namely its reproductive organs, on the basis that the animal displayed symptoms very likely to have been induced by an owner's negligence, is frightening in its brutality.
(3) 95% of all the comments relating "veterinary medicine's" response to this condition were the same, a vet medical establishment appalling in its capriciousness and bad faith. It would seem that many vets do not even think of mites as a possible diagnosis, at least until 2-4 other, expensive, toxic and ineffective responses have been IMPOSED on the unwitting pet owner. This leads me to believe, quite reasonably I think you will agree, that most vets are EITHER evil OR stupid; maybe BOTH.
Bottom line, this cure is just that, a cure. To those who need to know exactly what to expect, know that the first treatment for my dog seemed to really highlight all the affect areas on his body. I really did not know the extent of his infestation until AFTER the borax/peroxide solution dries. The wounds become red, puffy and pronounced. GREAT, that is the little mite saying "OH S$#@". After treatment my dog is stuck to my side, like I'm his doggy savior.

I have began the treatment with h2o2 and Borax 09/07/2010. So far, working well. Before I discovered this site, I tried a Sulfur bar of soap and Aveeno Baby bath wash soap. That seemed to sooth the redness and swelling. Our dog really enjoyed the bath and rub down. -James
