HWF
An all-natural dietary supplement
MAY HELP YOUR DOG OVERCOME HEARTWORMS
Amber Technology has developed a product that can aid in the elimination of heartworms slowly over a period-of-time allowing the dog’s own immune system to help rid 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 decrease in symptoms such as coughing and weakness.
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 (usually months). Black Walnut is found to be a high allergen causing hives and other types of allergies. With this information, we have developed a product that (in the long run) may be more beneficial to your dog.

Suggested Use:
HWF is to be given twice a day (according to the weight of the dog) for 16 - 36 weeks (longer if necessary) depending on the severity of the infestation. Kidney Rejuvenator can be used during treatment to keep the kidneys free and clear (Recommended most to keep the kidneys healthy so the worms can continue to pass through the urinary tract system. Kidneys are one of the organs that can fail during heartworm treatment).
DO NOT administer products containing Ivermectin, such as flea and tick sprays, shampoo, lawn care products, etc., during the use of HWF.
As a Preventative:
HWF can be used as a preventative also. IF in highly infested heartworm areas (Eastern United States), the protocol would be to use the HWF each day during the 1st week and the 3rd week of the month. Use the same amount as on the chart below based on the weight of the pet.
IF in low to average infested heartworm areas (Western United States), the protocol would be to use the HWF each day during the 1st week only of each month. Use the same amount as on the chart below based on the weight of the pet.
Nomogram (chart):
Pet Weight | HWF | # of bottles | # of bottles |
Under 5 lbs | 1.0 ml / 2x day | 1.3 | 3 |
5-15 lbs | 1.6 ml / 2x day | 2.1 | 4.8 |
16-25 lbs | 2.0 ml / 2x day | 2.7 | 6 |
26-50 lbs | 2.4 ml / 2x day | 3.2 | 7.2 |
51-80 lbs | 2.6 ml / 2x day | 3.5 | 7.8 |
81-100 lbs | 3.0 ml / 2x day | 4 | 9 |
101-150 lbs | 3.4 ml / 2x day | 4.5 | 10.2 |
151-200 lbs | 3.6 ml / 2x day | 4.8 | 10.8 |
201-250 lbs | 3.8 ml / 2x day | 5.1 | 11.4 |
251 lbs and up | 4.0 ml / 2x day | 5.3 | 12 |
Do not exceed recommended dose! Monitor weight, as improved health can cause weight gain. Do not use Life Cell Support (in the Internal Gold Detox Kit) until AFTER HWF treatment (once a negative heartworm test has been performed).
The standard dose of Hawthorn & Dandelion is administered orally 1-4 times daily as needed. During the full treatment of HWF the dose is 4 times daily.
When treating more than one pet with the same dropper, it is necessary to assure sterile administration without carry over from pet to pet. The best way to assure this is to use the dropper only to transfer product to an individual sterile oral syringe—a different syringe for each pet. These syringes should be sterilized after each use. Each pet should have its own syringe that is not shared with another pet. If a syringe is not readily available, until one can be found, one may mix the product with a larger volume of flavored fluid (e.g. tuna or salmon water) that is to be lapped from a bowl. However, the use of a syringe assures a more accurate dose.
Long Term Use with Hawthorn & Dandelion:
Co-administration of Hawthorn & Dandelion with HWF should be used through the duration of the treatment. The Hawthorn & Dandelion is used to strengthen the heart and act as a mild diuretic. Hawthorn & Dandelion may need further usage beyond the use of HWF treatment due to the damage heartworms can cause. If further Hawthorn & Dandelion is deemed necessary for the pet, then a maximum use of this product is six months. At that time a one week break period (off) from product is mandated, as is clinical discussion with your veterinary health care provider or with the staff at Amber Technology concerning re-administration of Hawthorn & Dandelion beyond that time period.
HWF Length of Time
It is not a guarantee. Be sure to weigh your dog before starting the HWF. Period of weeks may be longer depending on your pet.
- If your dog is not showing symptoms - 16 weeks
- For symptomatic dogs (i.e. tires easily, loss of appetite, coughing and swelling) - 24 weeks
- Symptomatic longer than 3 months - 26 weeks
- Symptomatic longer than 6 months - 36 weeks
Every dog is different and some will respond more readily than others.
For pregnant dogs, give half the dose during pregnancy. After giving birth give full treatment. Treatment will need to be administered 1 extra month. After treatment is complete put your dog on a low dose of HWF (half the dose once a day) for 3 to 4 months. Monitor weight, as improved health can cause weight gain.
If your dog is on the HWF longer than 36 weeks - Administration of HWF ™ beyond 36 weeks is acceptable. Continue use without breaks up to 18 months, which then mandates a three week holiday (break) from product before re-starting the same rotating schedule. Using HWF™ as a preventative administering it twice daily for the first five days of each month. If further HWF ™ is deemed necessary for the pet, then a clinical discussion with your veterinary health care provider or with the staff at Amber Technology concerning re-administration of HWF ™ beyond that time period.
Be sure to put your dog on a heartworm preventative AFTER you have STOPPED THE HWF.
WARNING:
Keep HWF ™ out of the reach of children under 16 years of age. One must not exceed the daily recommended dose. It is important to weigh your pet before administration of this product to obtain accurate daily dosing. As with any Nutraceutical or pharmaceutical product, HWF™ may cause an allergic reaction that may manifest as either skin redness, urticaria (hives), peri-orbital edema (swelling around the eyes), or as potentially serious respiratory dysfunction associated with laryngeal edema (inflammation of the larynx).
DO NOT administer products containing Ivermectin, such as flea and tick sprays, shampoo, lawn care products, etc., during the use of HWF.
Any suggestion of allergic reaction, even the most subtle, should alert the pet owner or veterinary health care provider to cease any further administration of HWF™ and to assess for interventional measures for such a reaction. One should have all of the appropriate emergency contact information readily available before starting this or any nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or nutritional supplement.
Early but extensive experience with HWF ™ suggests no signs or symptoms of overdose beyond that which is reflected in a reduction in the pet’s level of activity, increase of cough or loose bowels. If this occurs decrease the dose by half two times a day for two weeks and then over the next two week period slowly increase the amount of HWF ™ to the recommended amount. If a large amount of HWF has been ingested simply stop administering the HWF for two weeks then continue.
For any questions concerning a potential allergic reaction or the adverse reaction of listlessness should be addressed by immediately contacting your veterinary health care provider.
Use of HWF in the presence of endocrine pancreatic dysfunction (e.g. diabetes mellitus or acute infectious ancreatitis) is contraindicated. Evidence of liver disease is a relative contraindication due to the presence of ethyl alcohol in this product. Alcohol may be removed by protocol (for every drop of HWF, add one drop of hot water in order to disipate the alcohol). All benefits and risks of this product should be weighed appropriately before use.
DO NOT administer HWF™ to CATS or BIRDS. VERY IMPORTANT: There is always a danger and risk taken when working with the heart. The heart is a vital organ. The heartworms can dislodge and go anywhere in the system. The heart can become weakened from the heartworms. Heartworms can get up to one-foot long. If a dog is harboring a one-foot long heartworm the time to rid the body of the heartworms can take 36 weeks or longer. Depending on the severity of the heartworm infestation (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).

HWF Contains:
Black Seed, Licorice, Hawthorn, Hops, Sorrel, Garlic, Apricot Pits, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Flavoring, Ethyl Alcohol, Distilled Water.
Black Seed – Immune Stimulant, Digestive, Detoxifying, Expectorant . Black Seed provides ubiquitous immune and circulatory effects, as well as support for the pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and renal systems. Black Seed is a detoxification of the liver and blood pressure. It improves kidney functions, promotes the secretion or expulsion of phlegm, mucus or other matter from the respiratory tract, including the treatment of bronchial asthma (expectorant), and promotes the expulsion of intestinal parasites, digestion and elimination.
Licorice - Anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, immune-activating, demulcent, and expectorant. Licorice promotes healing of ulcers, bronchitis, gastritis, irritable bowel and bowel inflammation, and adrenal insufficiency. Black Seed is a soothing and coating agent in the digestive and urinary tract system. Helps with coughs and sooths sore throats. The demulcent and anti-ulcerogenic action of Licorice is beneficial in gastric and duodenal ulcers. Licorice tea is also given for digestive weakness, especially when accompanied by fatigue and shortness of breath. Licorice has proven antiviral properties and is useful in formulas for viral infections such as HIV or hepatitis.
Hawthorn – Diuretic, Antispasmodic. Hawthorn is primarily used to improve cardiovascular health. Modern research has proven hawthorn to be valuable as an herb to treat cardiovascular problems and promote a healthy heart. It causes more blood flow to reach the muscles of the heart. Hawthorn can also help to reduce the incidence of angina, which is a spasm of the blood vessels, improve the smooth muscle walls of the rest of the circulatory system, improve blood pressure, improve circulation and treat symptoms of mild heart failure, decreasing the occurrence of chest pain, reducing atherosclerosis, and helping with trouble sleeping. Hawthorn will not stop an angina attack. It works by widening blood vessels, especially heart blood vessels, which results in increased heart blood flow.
Hops – Sedative, Nervine, Digestive, Antispasmodic. Hops pillows have long been used as an aid to sleep. It has a beneficial effect on the stomach due to its bitter principle and is used with good result for nervous digestion. Hops can be useful as a strong infusion, or the fresh plant tincture added to hot water, for heart palpitations or abnormal awareness of the heart accompanied by mild to moderate anxiety. Hops will sooth the digestive system and ease cramps and pain.
Sorrel – Diuretic, Anticancer, Laxative. Promotes detoxification & cell regeneration; contains anti-oxidants, to include chlorophyll; said to remove foreign deposits from blood vessel walls, reduce pancreatic inflammation, improve vascular health, & enhance tissue oxygenation; used for diarrhea; thought to promote tumor mass reduction.
Garlic – Antibiotic, Expectorant, Anticoagulant, Tonic. Garlic can also be used to boost immunity, help to fight intestinal infections as well as parasites, treat chest infections or coughs. Works as an expectorant to thin mucus. Garlic has been shown to lower blood pressure by thinning the blood. It also lowers cholesterol levels. Garlic is known to lower the levels of sugar in the blood, making it excellent for use by those who have Type II Diabetes.
Apricot Pits - Antitussive, antiasthmatic, demulcent. Apricot seed is one of the finest herbs for acute cough and bronchitis. It can be used for either hot or cold conditions when combined with the appropriate herbs and is especially good for dry coughs because of its moistening nature. The herb is believed to moisten the intestines; hence, it is useful in those cases when there is constipation associated with the aforementioned conditions. Seeds have been used as a pain killer, asthma, catarrh and cough. Apricot pits contain small, minute amounts of cyanide. However, there should be no problem with the accidental ingestion of a pit, nor is there a problem if the pit is split and exposed to the fruit.
Grapefruit Seed Extract – Bactericide, Fungicide, Antiviral, Anti-Parasitic Compound. The antimicrobial activity of CITRICIDAL (Grapefruit Seed Extract) is in the cytoplasmic membrane where the uptake of the amino acids is prevented and disorganization of the cytoplasmic membrane and leakage of low molecular weight cellular contents.
Flavoring
Ethyl Alcohol – Preservative, Intensifier. Intensifies, while preserving the properties of the herbal tincture.
Distilled Water
HWF has a 4-year shelf life.
Customer Reviews
- Vet Could Not Believe It Review by Wayne L. Cody, Ph.D.
- Our dog was diagnosed with heart worms about three months ago and our vet recommended a rather extended, dangerous and expensive therapy. We decided to try HWF, prior to taking the therapy advised by the vet. Two weeks ago, we had our dog retested for heart worms and he was completely negative. The vet did not believe the results and sent out a second sample which was also negative. He still did not believe the results and sent it to another lab and it was still negative. Our dog appears completely healthy and shows no ill effects. Congratulations on a great product.
- WE ARE SO EXCITED! Review by Lee, Carole, and Gus McCallum
- “WE ARE SO EXCITED! We were heartbroken when the vet told us that Gus' annual heart worm test was positive. I started researching just exactly what stages heart worm takes and came upon Amber Technology’s web site. I didn't think it would hurt to try the herbal remedy -- 6 months later. . .Gus is 'worm-free'. The vet was amazed and wanted all the details. We and he are believers! Thank you.”
- Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Review by Phil Saunders

Dear Folks at Amber Tech, You have saved our hairy companion! Thank you! I was a little skeptical, but willing to try anything to make up for our negligence. Because of financial setbacks and the fact that there aren't many outside dogs here, we skipped a visit to the Vet. Pepper is our 13-year-old spayed female Black Chow. When the heart worm tests proved positive, the Doctor said that the $500 treatment would probably kill her and recommended that we just try to keep her from overexerting and give her the Heartgard. He said that large dogs don't live long anyway. I couldn't accept that so I looked for an alternative. I'm glad I found it!
After giving Pepper the HWF I took her back to be retested. The Doctor said he had never seen a remission of heart worms without the standard treatment and did not recommend the test. I insisted. The Doctor was obviously surprised that he could find no evidence of heart worms and he asked what I had given her. I got his email address and sent him your website address. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Participated in HWF Study Review by Fred R.
-
I participated in your study for heart worm treatment with our dog named Lexie. We finished the treatment in Sept and tested heart worm positive at that time. Lexie was tested this week, Feb 8, during routine checkup for vaccinations and tested heart worm negative. We continued giving Lexie HWF throughout the treatment. This treatment seemed to be much gentler on the dog compared to traditional treatment. The primary challenge was getting her to accept the twice daily doses due to the taste/smell. She would actually run from us when she smelled the solution. Thank you for an alternative to traditional treatment which is ordinarily expensive and as potentially lethal as the heart worm disease.
- Last Heart Worm Test Negative Review by Bob & Joann Schihl
-
For several months during 2002, we used your Heartworm Free (HWF) product for our dog, Mitchell who probably came to us with heart worms from an abuse situation. During this time, he had two positive tests for heart worms, and we gave up hope to cure him without very expensive and dangerous treatment in the vet's hospital. Mitchell's last heart worm test was negative.!!! Thank you for your treatment which was non evasive, inexpensive, and SUCCESSFUL!!!
