Paravac™
An Internal Parasiticide

Eagle Peak Herbals is a family business in Eagleville, California, a ranching community at the base of the Warner Mountains on the western edge of the Great Basin. Owned by Tina and Bill Hodge, they bring several decades of experience in applications using herbal remedies in both humans and animals.

Livestock producers themselves, they have had a need to control internal parasites in their own herd. After many years of experimentation, which is still ongoing, they have settled on a formula which has now been tested many times on their own animals. They have used the California State Laboratory to document results through a licensed veterinarian. They market it as "Paravac™." All ingredients are either organic or wildcrafted. Eagle Peak is in the process of acquiring organic certification.

Through their contacts, other veterinarians have used their products successfully, and have done tests themselves on other herds in other parts of the country. Bill and Tina are more than willing to provide interested parties with details of these results and the names and coordinates of the veterinarians involved.

Anecdotal evidence is encouraging, with animals making dramatic improvements after herbal treatments, including weight gain, increased immunity, improved coat and skin condition, and higher energy levels.

In addition, in trials with dairy animals, it has been observed that there is no change in milk flavor or production levels. Also, producers of organic meat in Australia, which allows chemical parasiticides in organic production, are anxious for an herbal alternative because the chemical parasiticides kill dung beetles.

This combination of herbs has been used on humans, llamas, goats, cattle, cats, dogs, and ducks.

The successes documented by lab results include beneficial results with the following parasites:

Very effective:

coccidia
trichuris (whipworm)
ostertagia and haemonchus (stomach worms)
cooperia

Somewhat effective:

nematodirus
trichostrongyles

They are anxious to expand testing to see how effective Paravac™ is on other parasites, since they realize there are over 3,000 possible internal parasites in mammals alone.

Paravac™also has anti bacterial, anti protozoan and anti fungal properties, which address the problem of infections caused by dead parasite bodies which are left after chemical treatments kill them.

Protocols for different animals are still being worked out. Initially, Bill and Tina administered dosages several times a day on individual animals, but later work has been done mixing it in drinking water or mineral supplements. Dosage and duration is still being tweaked, since they realize that treating large numbers simultaneously for as little time as possible is the only efficient way most large producers will want to use their product.
