1989.0. "NEED A POINTER" by DROPIT::BENHAM () Mon Nov 21 1988 15:56

    Can anyone point me to the file that contains some information
    about Brewer's Yeast and the effects on fleas.
    
    Thanks

    ref 39.  It doesn't mentioned much about yeast but does have
    some interesting references to garlic and fleas. You could always
    send a message via Vaxmail to the person who entered the yeast 
    note - if she still works for Digital (as the note is a very old one).
    Good luck.
1989.2Some thoughtsFREKE::HUTCHINSFeathered Obsessions AviaryWed Nov 23 1988 19:1215
    Maybe this will help...
    
    There is *no* clinical proof that the garlic/yeast supplement works
    against fleas, but it does condition the skin and coat well.  It
    turns out that fleas do not really stay on healthy skin...This by
    no means means that if your pets have fleas they are unhealty...but
    the brewers yeast is the highest form of vitamin B and garlic keeps
    the intestines clean...if the proteins are high and bacteria low,
    then the skin is tip top!
    
    Regualr shampoos with soap made for cats can also help!
    
    Beat them nasty fleas with a stick!  :-)

1989.3Try 232 and 566MARKER::REEDAll the world's a stageWed Nov 23 1988 19:2421
    
    
    Check notes 232 and 566. If the information is not in the base note,
    I know that's it's in the replies.  I couldn't find the note that
    referenced the brewer's yeast/garlic tablets brand name.  You may
    also want to peruse note 1580.  It tells how to rid your room of
    fleas using water and soap in a paper plate or maybe its a shallow
    pan.
    
    I tried the brewer's yeast/garlic tablets this summer with my two
    kitties and our new puppy and I must admit, it worked.  Last year
    we got *flea infestation* to the max.  This year alot of people
    were complaining that their animals got attacked badly but ours
    weren't bothered in the least. (Just one or two were spotted).
    
    I found the tablets at Erikson's Grain Mill in Acton, MA but I have
    seen them at some local pet stores too.
    
    Good luck!
