does any one know of a good natural cure for flees. they are really bad here in texas, and eating my dogs alive. i have tried ever thing i can find and nothing is working.
This post: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/5-solutions-for-natural-flea-control.html
suggests rosemary flea dip, lavender essential oil, brewer’s yeast, apple cider vinegar or lemon spray repellent. Thankfully we haven’t yet dealt with fleas, so I haven’t tried any of these.
I appreciate your natural health writings, i.e., on MSG, etc.
It’s challenging to reach people that the primary cause of their chronic health conditions is the food that they eat. Unfortunately most of Americans are not homesteading or living in a rural life but part of the big city buzz. And there is a price that they pay for that.
We’re on the same team, trying to reach people at where they are. Keep plowing away! Hopefully what I term as “turning on more light bulbs” will turn on. I hate to think where this nation will be 20 years from now if we don’t start improving our eating habits.
Blessings,
