The Arizona Dust Bowl & Valley Fever

If you have read the Arizona Republic in the last few weeks you should have read about an upswing in the occurrence of Valley Fever. If you don't know, Valley fever is a fungal infection caused by spores that are inhaled into the lungs. Left untreated or misdiagnosed, valley fever can be fatal. I know of two people who have had relatives die of complications from Valley Fever.

There are both allopathic ways and natural ways to treat valley fever. The drugs usually prescribed by your doctor have some very bad side effects including liver damage. The damage caused by these drugs is may be irreversible.

The natural products used to treat valley fever are safer than the drugs, but a few of them can have side effects. I would suggest you look up each of these supplements before you use them. Below are the supplements I suggest for treating valley fever naturally.

Black Walnut Inner Hulls
Pau d' arco
Capryllic acid
Tea Tree Oil
Garlic

All of these herbs are useful in humans and in animals, especially dogs. Some of the symptoms of valley fever in dogs are as follows:

lethargy
heavy breathing
limping (from no known cause)
lose of appetite.

If you have any questions please stop by the store.

Thanks for spending a little of your time here with me,
