HWF
Heartworm Free

Amber 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 dog’s 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 Technology’s 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 Technology’s 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 Technology’s 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 Use

Shake 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.
