here is my stream of thought about this today
if you are going to try to step into the middle of a harrowing situation such as fleas and try to heal it holistically, forget it because as i heard secondhand from this holistic doctor who was associated with Kripalu, if you have hurt yourself using aleopathic means then you need to heal yourself using an aleopathic method. Hence the neutron bomb. It seems to me that the best use of holistic methods is to strengthen health, not to try to defend against disease or pestilence or parasites. Therefore it is infinitely preferable to build up a healthy system through nutrition taking into account maybe that certain things protect against fleas such as nutritional yeast and maybe garlic, without attempting to begin such a program in the middle of an onslaught of fleas or whatever else.
the other thing about the holistic approach is that in its mildest form it is not about killing fleas, but simply about making it unpleasant for them to hang around.
one more el flako thing
another thing is that if my cat was a spiritual master and a flea went anywhere near her it would be blessed and probably leave immediately, or kill her and then she would resurrect herself. Unfortunately she is not a master today however at some point she may well be.
