HWF - Heartworm FreeAmber Technology HWF, formerly HeartWorm Free, may help your dog
overcome heartworm infestation! Amber Technology has developed a
product that will kill the heartworms slowly over a period of time
allowing the dogs own immune system to help eliminate the heartworm
from its body. Because it works slowly your dog does not need to be
confined and can continue to play as he or she would not allowing over
exertion such as racing or breeding. Within weeks you may notice an
increase in energy and the cough depart.
HWF is made without
Wormwood and Black Walnut. Wormwood has been known to depress the
central nervous system and cause mind-altering changes leading to
psychosis when used over long periods of time. Black Walnut was found
to be an allergen in too many dogs causing hives and other types of
allergies. With this information Amber Tech has developed a product
that (in the long run) may be more beneficial to your dog.
What is Heartworm?Heartworm
disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by
parasitic worms living in the arteries of the lungs and in the right
side of the heart of dogs, cats and other species of mammals, including
wolves, foxes, ferrets, sea lions and (in rare instances) humans.
Heartworms are classified as nematodes (roundworms) and are but one of
many species of roundworms. The specific roundworm causing heartworm in
dogs and cats is known as Dirofilaria immitis.
Dogs or other
animals harboring adult worms are the recognized reservoir of
infection. Adult worms produce the offspring that circulate in the
blood, and are then transmitted to mosquitoes once they bite the
infected animal. These offspring (microfilariae) undergo development to
an infective larval stage within 14 days in the mosquito, and can then
be transmitted to another host (such as a cat) or back to another dog,
when the infected mosquito bites again. The infective heartworm larvae
travel through a tubular organ within the mosquito's head and are
injected into the skin of a new host animal through the mosquito bite
wound. In the dog, the larvae progress in their development to an adult
form of the worm, and live in the heart and pulmonary vessels, where
they continue the life cycle and cause extensive injury. In the cat,
the larvae molt as well, but fewer worms survive to adulthood. While
dogs suffer severe heart and lung damage from heartworm infection, cats
typically exhibit minimal changes in the heart. The cat's primary
response to the presence of heartworms occurs in the lungs.
Within
the dog, the time frame between initial infection and growth to adult
worms is approximately six to seven months, eventually arriving in the
heart and pulmonary vessels where they begin to produce new offspring.
This period is referred to as patency. In cats, it takes seven to eight
months before adult worms arrive in the heart and pulmonary vessels,
and this is referred to as transient patency. In most cases the life
cycle of the heartworm ends here since microfilaria are produced in
less than 20% of the cats. Some worms may get up to 3 feet long.
Heavy
infestation of heartworms will cause swelling in the lungs, pulmonary
arteries, kidney and heart, which will eventually cause the animal to
die.
Symptoms may include loss of appetite, lethargy, coughing, weakness, and hemorrhage.
Killing
heartworms can also be dangerous for your animal. Dead worms can clog
small blood vessels causing organs to fail making it imperative that
your animal be confined to a small space to try and prevent this from
happening. Older or sick animals may not be able to tolerate the
current treatment. That is why Amber Technologys slow method of
treatment has its benefits, which allows the dog to recover slowly.
This method DOES NOT require your animal to be confined.
Keep in
mind these are heartworms. The heart is a vital organ. Anytime you work
with the heart you take a risk. The heartworms can dislodge and go
anywhere in the system. The heart can become weakened from the
heartworms. Depending on the severity of the heartworms (and condition
of the heart) will determine the results of the treatment. Amber
Technology does not guarantee the health of your dog (due to conditions
out of Amber Technologys control). Do not allow your pet to over exert
(breeding, racing etc). This can cause worms to dislodge.
Once
your pet has completed the HWF - Put your dog on a heartworm
preventative and do a full body detox using Amber Technologys Internal
Gold Detox Kit or wait 3 months and have your dog retested.
After
the heartworms are dead they can stay in the system for a period of
time. It is up to the system to dissolve the heartworms and process
them through the kidneys and out the urine. If you had your dog tested
with the dead heartworms in the system it will come up a positive on
the heartworm test. Although most of our dogs recover not all dogs
will. If tests can show a dramatic decrease in worms, you can finish
the treatment with a heartworm preventative (such as HeartGuard), which
will kill the remaining worms over a period of time. Using this method
lowers the risk of heart damage.
Suggested UseShake well
before use. This preparation is to be given twice a day (according to
the weight of the dog) for 12 to 16 weeks. Depending on the severity of
the infestation, you may need to treat another 12 weeks. can be used
during treatment to keep the kidneys free and clear. Do not exceed
recommeded dose.

For Pregnant dogs give half the dose and administer twice as long.
If
your dog is on the HWF longer than 24 weeks, take a 3-week break, then
continue if needed. Have your dog retested 2 weeks after you have
detoxed the system (using Amber Technologys Internal Gold Detox Kit)
OR 3 months after treatment is completed. Be sure to put your dog on a
heartworm preventative AFTER have stoped the HWF.
Warning: Keep
out of reach of children. Apricot pits contain small amounts of
naturally occurring cyanide. Do not use in conjunction with a heartworm
preventative.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the
Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Our product is designed to
act SLOWLY to eliminate the need to keep your dog confined. Do not
allow breeding, racing, or over exerting. The average time for a dog
with a moderate infestation of heartworms is 12 weeks. You may need to
treat your dog more if your dog has a heavy infestation of heartworms
depending on the severity.
