Corid and laying hens???? can I eat the eggs??

Date sort Score sort
I appreciate your tenacity with sticking to herbal and other natural methods of treatment. I am, however, concerned when you put strep throat into the mix. The Strep bacteria can cause irreversible heart damage. It is one illness that I would never mess with.

I have no doubt that people live with the effects of corid, we also live with the effects of GMO foods (which our government approves without long term testing). as for the alternative methods thay seem to be working well:

Grapefruit Seed extract: 62 drops in 1/2 gal (I only give 1/2 gal @ a time so I know they are getting the full amount and I will refil if necessary)
Parasite cleanse (herbal mix of 6 herbs): I have 3 feeders, 2 small 1 large, in each small I put 3 capsules (I open them and dump the ingredients in to crumbles) into 3/4 full feeder and in the large feeder I put 4 capsules into 1/3 full.---------in alternative dosages it 1/2 capsul for an animal 1-10 lbs---- I also put 2 capsuls in each bowl of mash (3) so that I know that they are getting someright off the bat and then they get more through out the day as they eat. After they eat all the parasite cleanse I refill the feeder with just feed all about 1/2 or less so that the next day they will be close to empty --- this helps me monitor intake
Buttermilk mash: 2 tbsp yogurt wth culture, 2 1/2 cups cultured buttermilk, 4 tbsp dry milk------ I added crushed garlic and powdered clove to this on the 4th day--- I give this 2x a day
on the 4th day after all poop was taking form I put 1 1/2 Tbsp of ACV in grapefruit seed extract water,

I have been cleaning the coop and yard each day to remove as much poo as possible. They really are doing well!! It is a bit more work, but if it is working then I plan to stick with it and @ the end of the 2 weeks take the poo for examination at on of the vets here in town.

I will do the grapefruit extract for 7- 10 days and the parasite cleanse for 14 days. I do realize that there are some that will roll their eyes at this, we do alternative meds for ourselves here at the house: we treat ear infections, strep throat, UTI, rashes, brown recluse spider bites and just about anything else that pops up all without the help of mainstream medicine (although if our ways won't handle the problem we will go to the Dr, we average about one visit every 2 - 3 years.) If the chickens show signs that they are regressing I will use the corid and follow the 30 day withdrawl period (which is what the local live stock vet recommended). I hope this was helpful. I do realize that I have no where near the experience that many of you have and I respect the knowledge you share on this site. I have learned much from many of you!!!

I am an herbalist and wiccan and always treat myself and my kids and hubby and friends naturally. Herbs are our bedt friends, there are so many benefits that herbs give us and natural foods. I dont like processed anything or store bought foods at all. I treat my dogs as well, I am learning how to treat he chickens and turkeys I cant find anyone who can tell me anything about what herbs and how much for them, so I continue my search. Thank you for your input

leadwolf1: concerning strep I agree with you but if you know you have a history of getting it and you begin the proper treatment immediately right at the on set, you can treat it. There are herbs you can make into tinctures that work just as well as perscription antibiotics, after all, most of our perscription drugs are just synthetic copies of what already exisits, that is all they had up until about a 150 years ago. That is not to say we never go to the Dr, we just try other methods first and thank the Lord we have never been in a desperate state of health by the time we decide to seek other treatment, in fact once when my daughter did have strep and we had been treating it with improvement each day but she was wanting to go off to camp so we went to the Dr and he said "she looks to healty to have strep, if she's had it for a week there is no way she would be doing this well." he took the office strep test and it did come back with a very slight positve for strep. At the beginnning of the week she was quite sick with fever, white blister in throat and all, so I know she did have it but we reacted quickly and probly had it beat but we went a head and got the script, she took it and off to camp she went. I have been messing with herbs for a long time so I don't recommend everyone do as I do, but with an interest to learn it can be done. Herbs take more diligence in administering (like every 2-3 hrs), longer to completely work, and you must adjust you total nutritional intake when going the alternative way, this has fallen out of fashion in our "have to have a pill to fix it fast world". Here are a few pics I just took of my chickens, thought yall might like to see the survivors. Also if any of you are prayin folk, pray the hurrican does not come to Pensacola, we have just started drying out from a month of EVERYDAY rain!!! I really need the coop to stay dry!!!!


her feathers worry me a little??? I don't remember them looking seperated before. anyone think this is a problem??











notice the escapie in the back ground :)

loving the buttermile mesh




Thanks you guys.
 
I thought Imp and Maidenwolf would find this site useful http://www.jonbarron.org/immunity/barron-report-natural-health-remedies-infection ....... my chickens are doing well and I have mixed the ACV, Cayenne pepper and garlic medicinal vinegar from the link above..... I think this will be a great preventative maintenance a couple times a week.

Hope this is helpful----- not sure if I should post this to the organic topics site sense it does not specifically talk about animals---- feel free to repost it there, if you think it would be useful.
