For Mange - Demodectic:
Brewer's Yeast, 10 Grain 650 mg - Vegetarian Tablets. I gave my 9 year old German Shepherd a hand-full of Brewer's Yeast, 10 Grain 650 mg - Vegetarian Tablets two times a day. (a handfull was between 12 to 20 tablets each time). In less than 2 weeks new hair was returning & within 6 weeks her hair was fully returned, and the black hair was no longer dull & grayish, (she was an older dog) it came back very black & shiney & very soft. She never had another skin problem after that.
Most dogs love these tablets & will happily eat them. I now feed them for treats as well. If you have a dog that doesn't like it, you can buy the Brewers Yeast powder & mix it in their food. Brewers Yeast is mostly B vitamins. Very natural & non-toxic. (Be sure to buy a very healthy product with the least artificial ingredients) I bought mine at the health food store, the kind for people. You will go through more than one bottle.
I have used this remedy for Demodectic Mange with great success on more than one dog.
(Side-note: my dog also had problems with her hips, & after a treatment with Brewers Yeast - her hips got better. She quit limping.) I don't mind answering questions about this. Feel free to contact.
Good Luck & God Bless!!!

Sulphur Powder

I rescued two puppies after Hurricane Wilma and they had a severe case of mange. I took them to my vet and after a series of shots they did get better, however, my entirer family ended up with scabies. Needless to say my female dog got out and became pregnant during her first heat and she delivered a litter of seven pups, not to long ago. Once again my whole family contracted scabies from the puppies after they were weaned from their mother. We have been back and forth to the vet, tried revelution, boric acide, hydro, everything. The one thing I found that cured my dogs, myself and family, was sulfur. We did not have to wait weeks, this occured in days. They felt a million times better after the first shampoo, their hair started to grow back within a couple of days. Sulfur shampoo, soap, spray, and stright powder sulfur is available at most grocery stores for $3 for shampoo, $2 for a bar of soap, these are in the shampoo section for humans, if you do not see sulfur products, ask you pharmisit and they will lead you right to them. Sulfur is also a great cure for human nail fungus. Blessings,

I am reading about this concoctions to apply to the animals coat but, what I do not hear is anything about Diet. Diet is key in addition to this concoctions as this Demodex Mange affects the Immune System. Doesn't anyone know this? I have heard no mention of Diet to boost and keep up the immune function.
Dietary Considerations
★★★★★
Readers are confused about which mange is which. The "Red Mange" is from a mite that lives and breeds in the hair follicle, meaning this mite is below the skin surface. So unless a treatment is actually attacking the hair follicle itself it's not going to do any good. If a surface treatment does work, then it shouldn't be thought of as the Red Mange.
Also, once the dog has been declared mange free, meaning 0 living mites from a skin scraping, there is not a possible re infestation from those mites living in certain places. If a re infestation occurs, the treatment was not successful. Your dog is sick again because not all the mites were killed during treatment, not because you forgot to throw its bedding in the washer. I had to take my Buddy to the vet due to a secondary skin infection that almost took his life. I questioned the need to clean to prevent a reoccurrence and that was what I was told by the vet and it makes sense.
That particular mite is a mite they are born with but due to any number of reasons, poor diet, stress, sickness and so on, their bodies can't fight off that natural occurring mite and the mites go crazy. While the latest treatment is not cheap and trust me, I really can't afford it but I'll make due somehow, it is not a toxic dip or repeated shampoo's. It is a liquid you add to their food and it kills the mites from the inside and that is the best way to attack this particular mite.
I would like to know what the liquid you give the dog for the demodex/red mange i do not feel the dip treatment i am getting at my vet is working
Petroleum Jelly
★★★★★
I've found a cure for the sarcoptic (red) mange in dogs.
First, shave your dog. Then bathe it thoroughly in any good dog shampoo (medicated is best). Then apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly (vaseline) to the entire dog's body paying particular attention to the edges of the ears and the tail. Re-shampoo and re-apply petroleum jelly every other day for 2 weeks. Don't worry about the dog licking off the petroleum jelly, it's non-toxic.
The mites should be gone in the 2 weeks and within a month it's hair should be re-growing. It's absolutely essential to shave the dog completely to the skin, regardless of a short or long-hair dog. I tried many home remedies and vet's prescriptions and this worked the best.

https://youtu.be/MMqCoWSD5zg?si=IY_cRTsEvJAcipZ1 I found this youtube video that talks about using NEEM OIL as a treatment for mange in cats and or dogs. 1 part neem oil to 10 parts carrier oil like apricot oil, coconut oil, olive oil etc. I tried the borax solution and hydrogen peroxide on my cat and his black fur (what he had left) started turning orange from the peroxide so I think the neem oil was ultimately a way better solution. Cheers!

Finally figured out dog had mange. She is 14-15 yrs old, yorkie about 10 lbs. Teds peroxide, borax remedy, at first made the itching worse but over time it got better, you must persist. After prayer the thought came to me her immune system might be weakened from age and I couldn't afford good food. I remembered using a product to save one of her eyes after vet said it must come out. The product is 4Life Transfer Factor Plus. I had little left over and started giving it to her, within a week the hair began coming back. If I stop giving it she begins scratching again.
Mange is agony for dogs and I will do without something to keep her on transfer factor. I used it at half capsule (human formula) a few times a day until seeing a difference, then once a day. Now I give half a capsule of the human formula every other day. I might add it works great for flu or colds. I don't usually promote things but google it and see the testimonies. It supports the immune system and aids in healing. This is the truth so help me God. God bless you all who are helping the helpless creatures.
Coconut Oil
I also have tried the same thing with the diatmaceous earth. How did you apply it to your dogs? I mixed a few cups in with warm water, shook it up real good then applied it to their skin after they were brushed. It seems to be effective. However, just started treatment last week on four dogs with sarcoptic mange.
Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil
My understanding is that once the DE dries out it will work again, but that it won't work WHILE it is wet...
Coconut Oil
You say put it all over the house. I have all wood floors..when I put it on our dogs. what if they lick it?
Coconut Oil
If it's dangerous to people, it's definitely more fatal to animals, if they inhale that stuff.... I would try a paste, made with uncooked coconut or almond oil and sulfur powder. It's supposed to cure the problem...
Coconut Oil
If the DE will be ingested, it needs to be 'food grade' DE, which is harder to find and more expensive. If the DE isn't food grade, yes, ingestion or inhalation can be an issue for both dogs and humans because of silica.
Coconut Oil
If it's food grade they can eat it n lick it just not breath it
Coconut Oil

This works great, just make sure it is food grade. We bought it at home depo and did not get food grade and it caused more hair loss but did kill the mites. I'm now treating my pups skin with desitin to heal her skin and it also helps with growing hair back in.
Coconut Oil
You need to put it on as a powder and it will work. When it gets wet, it becomes ineffective but once it dries it will work again.
Coconut Oil
Re: using wet vs dry.... when consuming human-grade DE yes it will of course get wet but that does not matter as you are consuming it to absorb the minerals it provides. On the other hand, when you are using it to kill insects and parasites it must be dry as it is the surface texture that works to penetrate the insects exoskeleton. If it is wet it will clump together much like a snowball, being much less effective.
Multiple Remedies
I had a very hard time & a sad one at that, I found a cat where later on I was not aware of what she had, I checked with our Vet. he was very vague as to what it was but he stated that what is out side also is inside. So I continued doing many web searches as well as EarthClinic this cat was tiny where I thought she was a kitten the Vet.said she was an old lady, I used the information from EarthClinic I treated her as often as possible, what I found was very strange, she had these very sharp prong like things sticking out around the tail/lower back only in the winter then summer time I could no longer feel them.
Needless to say she slept close to my small older dog, when summer came I checked my dog & saw what I thought were either fleas or ants she was infested with them, I took her to the groomers & had her shaved completely, whatever they were was gone but in the mean-time these fleas(?) Mange had laid eggs in-side of my dogs skin, she was digging her fur right off & deep into her skin was raw & bleeding. I did the mange treatments every three to four days, I also found that these mites attach themselves to animals with very weak immunity, I say this because I have a younger dog that he only needed to be bathed with Teds solution once then I applied ACV & he was good to go, how-ever I give my pets probiotics every day, my Cock-A-Poo is hanging in there but still itches but not quite as bad.
I also learned of another product called diatomaceous earth food grade product, I applied this after all of her treatments had helped the most but to secure the issue.It's a very messy powder the dogs shake it off every where, so I spend most of my time cleaning, but I love my pets, how-ever my poor little kitty was serving life with this mange I could not see any results with any healing what-so-ever, she kept tapping my leg & I looked into her eyes I knew she was in much pain, her eye was constantly draining tears where it looked like blood stains.I had to have her put to sleep. My other two dogs are doing a little better, I have high hopes of my Cock-A-Poo getting better or at least more comfortable she is eighty years old in peoples age, she is totally blind but does very well other wise. Thank You for allowing me to share.
Neem Oil
I've seen neem oil mentioned in posts for mange but what is neem oil used for? I'm a bit confused. Is it for dry skin treatment?
Neem Oil
Neem oil is applied topically to kill or repel bugs; google, maybe it is antibacterial, as well. I have found that only a few drops of it mixed into dog conditioner and applied all over totally eradicated a terrible flea infestation (can't use advantage as one dog is allergic).

Hi, I used the mange concoction today on my dog...he has demodectic mange. His eyes are very irritated. I tried to be careful but I may have gotten too much in his eyes. Do you have any experience with this?
thank you
I usually use a face cloth and apply cold water, just keep rinsing the face cloth then rinse his eyes out as often as possible.
Good Luck....

Hello,
I believe my year old shepherd may have generalized mange. I was wondering about drying her coat after the bath with a hair dryer. We live in a very cold area and the temps have been in the 20's during the day and lower and I have carpet in most of my house. She does have a crate in the living room however I am concerned about getting her from the bathtub to the crate dripping wet.
Has anyone you know of dried their dog with a hair dryer to take some of the moisture out of the dogs coat?
Thanks, DeDe
Hey DeDe!
Generalized mange refers to demodex; was your shepherd scraped and diagnosed with demodex prior to be becoming generalized? Or is this hair loss at 1 year a recent event? There is a type of mange your dog could contract from the outside called scabies and this is a highly contagious form that you could catch also. If it is scabies, the mange remedy will do the job, but you will also have to sterilize your house and in particular the dog areas twice daily until you get the mites under control and on the path to extinction.
As for the dipping - the solution only works when it is wet, so blow drying cuts the working time down on the solution, so blow dry only after the solution has had enough time to work.
In your shoes I would bathe my dog and keep pouring the solution over him for at least 15-20 minutes; 30 is ideal. I would then let him sit in the tub - rather than his crate - for another half an hour to let the solution work. Keep the bathroom well heated, and then when the time is up you can go ahead and towel your dog off and then finish with blowing your dog dry.

Hi, I read all your cures of mange with much interest. I took in a rescue 4 month old pit bull puppy with mange. I've been doing this only a week and it is clearing up. Someone on here suggested Selsun Blue so I've been bathing her every other day with that and then do a dip of diluted iodine after the bath. When I worked in Microbiolgy , we used diluted iodine to kill aids virus and any other virus or bacteria. Then I took part of Ted's mange cure, hydrogen peroxide. I spray her everywhere with 3% three times a day. Then at night I massage in Goodwinol ointment (Amazon) on all affected area's. It's working. If you spray the feet make sure you pull the skin up off the nails so you get to the root of the problem.

Robert Henry from Ten Mile, Tn -
I would like to use your method of curing dogs from mites, etc. I would be most appreciative of the dosage, such as how much sulfur, which kind of sulfur, perhaps flowers of sulfur? The duration of keeping kerosene on the skin. Finally I would like to use it on myself, too.
Since I look after rescue pets, it would be a boon to know the precise procedure.
I am enjoying your posts. Have a blessed and prosperous New Year. Om
To Om from Hope BC regarding mites for pets. Bathe them in borax laundry detergent and water and rinse well. Borax is the mineral boron and a natural insecticide....no kerosene! Buy it at walmart in laundry section. BORAX.

Hey Om!
I make a point to follow your posts because of the animal rescue work you do. As you well know, rescuers and breeders alike must become medical specialists in order to avoid completely draining our pocket books and making our veterinarians rich as Croesus, yes?
In my own dealings with treatment of mites, despite the temporary elevation in my heating bill [we've had -35 below in our neck of the woods] Ted's remedy is superior because it easily allows you to treat the entire body of the animal, as opposed to spot treating only the obviously affected areas, thereby removing any haven which would allow the mites to hide and continue to reproduce; the downside for some is that it must be repeated weekly for up to 8 weeks.
In relation to kerosene and turpentine, do you spot treat for mites topically or do you dose orally? If this cure is superior to Teds, how often do you apply it and is there any special way you mix it up? [I read in the turpentine and kerosene section and most recommended either mixing it up considerably or orally 2-3 drops.] If you use coconut oil in the mix, doesn't the area treated with the coconut oil also remain damp and allow heat to escape from the animal as it never will dry? Do you use it in conjunction with MMS?
I admit to never having used either MMS or kerosene or turpentine but after reading the EC pages am quite intrigued!
Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Hi Theresa from Mpls., Mn. from Om:
Thanks for your interest. You have no idea how much research I have done for hours till my eyes ached. I came up with treasures. One of which is Walter Last. I knew his name already many years ago when I read his booklet on the wonders of BSM, as well his support for ACV , in conjunction with BSM.
I am using Ted's mange remedy on myself. Borax is incredibly nice for hair and skin but after some usage the skin/hair need a good oil pack to make up for the resulting dryness. I intend to use Borax for myself in future as well internally. The animals get borax in their drinking water at the present time.
But first to MMS. It is so affordable and so effective. As the healing begins with the wet to dry it is also necessary to moisturize the skin after the treatment. People I know personally have cured their dog of parvo just with a few drops and within three days he was fine. What a boon to pet lovers. The effect MMS has had on the mites in my eyes and face and somewhat on my scalp was quite dramatic. I have, even at my age, skin that draws compliments from people. Nothing could be seen of mites except the missing eye brows. I am still working on them. The rosea has disappeared but I have not had any stress lately and when it comes I will adjust myself so that it is not stress. My skin around the eyes became like dry thin paper but is now back to normal. I still have to irrigate my eyes with MMS.
Kerosene/terebinth is an old folk remedy and you can google Kerosene Experiences. These are people mainly in Europe and an eye opener (when you read Walter Last) of what Merk Corp. has done to prevent people to cure themselves and pets of cancer, diabetes and many other ills by using kerosene or turpentine.
On the body, kerosene, turpentine can be used in conjunction with sulphur powder. I am still trying to find sulphur powder. Entire body if necessary, add VCO, leave on for half an hour and then off with it. The latest I found is that these two remedies also strip the body of radiation and are a superior cure . These two have been used for over two thousand years and more. There are also kerosene baths.
However, look and see why "benzene" is sold in pink or blue, thanks to Merck and Co.
Once I have been able to obtain sulphur powder, I will treat my dogs from tail to nose with e-collar on. Internally it must be taken with honey or sugar. Bill writes about this. It is a super dewormer. MMS is hard to use for multi pet deworming as it has to be done hourly for a few days and with many animals it is not an option.
If I have to answer more of your questions I will do so. Namaste, Om

Thanks, Kirk!
I wonder if what you are calling a mite is what I might call a tick; the mites I have had to eradicate are microscopic. The ticks I have encountered I first put a drop of essential oil of some kind on them - lavender, lemon, tea tree is very good - and wait just a few minutes; the strong essential oil kills the ticks very quickly and I can pull them out with bare fingers [which I do wash well afterwards with soap and water]. One caution; don't wait more than a few minutes to remove the tick after applying the essential oil; the oils tend to dry the tick out very quickly, so if you wait too long, ie 10 minutes, the jaws of the tick are frozen shut and it makes removal a bit more difficult.
Mange Remedies
Namaste, Om!
I do agree MMS could be the 1 thing any high volume rescue should have on hand.
After reading up, for *me*, Ted's remedy is still the ideal choice and I have found it effective.
Am very intrigued by kerosene, particularly after reading up on candida.
So much to learn by reading EC :)
Thanks again, OM!

I would like to apologize for my mite solution as I got mites mixed up with ticks. It's the ticks I take out with tweezers and squash them and drown them. I have rescued stray dogs with quite a load of ticks on them. My friend told me to spray alcohol on the tick bites. Sorry about the mix up.

Hello, my dad is using your cure for mange on our four house dogs and one of them is a puppy of three months to four months of age and I think she was careless and sprayed it on their bed or food. The puppy ate some and has been shaking and screaming like nuts and crying. I have been giving her liquids with electrolytes in it for the last day and she seemed better but she is screaming and screaming now and I even tried milk and shes shaking and screaming. We live in a different county and the vets office is closed and so I can only think to pump liquids into her at this point- please, please help!
