    Here it is one year later! JoJo is doing great and still heart-worm free. 01/09/2017 You can see pictures of JoJo and the rest of my crew on facebook and Google+ if you like. My name is Michael Dowling I’m in the Dallas Texas area. My hope is that some of the people in rescue shelters will start using this treatment on dogs that come in heart-worm positive and give them a chance.

    I took it very seriously, no the alcohol did not alter the test results. The test is 98% accurate and there was no other treatment. This saved my dogs life and saved me a couple thousand dollars in Vet bills. The treatment the vet gives is expensive and very aggressive and causes the heartworms to release a toxic poison which makes the dog even sicker. From what I understand the hops from that area make the heartworms sterile and make them age faster. They do not reproduce and they die off faster and they don’t release the toxin. When used as a preventative the larvae never grow to maturity. I’m not a chemist or medical professional so I don’t know if all that is correct. I do know that I have a dog that tested positive on three test and today four months later she tested negative and has no signs or symptoms of having heartworms.

    My little rescue JoJo tested positive for heartworms in Sept. 2015. I had been giving her heartworm prevention from the time I brought her home. I was devastated and had her checked two more times all three test showed positive. A co-worker told me about the Guinness beer treatment and I really had my doubts. I started the treatment and she never showed signs of illness. Today 1/9/16 I had her retested and it was NEGATIVE!!! I’m seriously considering taking all my dogs off the prevention and doing the Guinness treatment.
