Was talking to an older feller last for a long time and he was telling me that taking a slice of bread n putting 10 drops of iodine on the bread and give it to the dogs 3x a wk. will kill n prevent heartworms. He was saying his son (i think it was his son) had an old dog riddled with heart worms n an old timer out of n la. told him to use the bread n iodine for 30 days, 30 days off and then 1 more 30 day bread/iodine cycle. He went back to the vet and had the dog checked again and minimal larva. 6 months after that he went to the vet again and NO sign of heartworms or larva. The dog is now 12yr old and for the past 6yrs there has been no more heartworms or any worms for that.

Has any1 heard of this?
