This is due to the small scaly leg mite, which lives and reproduces itself under the scales of the feet of mainly older chickens.
Especially older chickens suffer from it.
Lubricating the legs with Padsect can quickly solve this.
Preventative use of Stopmite is advised to keep this parasite out of your coop.
If you want to eradicate or prevent red mites, then you should definitely treat the coop (or the cage) of your chickens.
Red mites are only active at night.
They hide in the dark spots of the chicken coop during the day. For example, under a perch, in a crevice or under a shelf. Therefore Stopmite should be scattered in these places…
After 40 years of tirelessly research to find the golden grail of the care for racing pigeons, we establish, with great pleasure and against all expectations, that the list of potentially active substances we encounter keeps extending.
In the search for the connection between disease and nutrition -the professional area of Comed- we increasingly come to the conclusion that the paths of medicine and nutrition combine.
The legislator proposes, as a rule of the game, that there must be a clear separation between foodstuffs and medicines when selling.
We have to deal with both concepts very carefully, and the consumer must not be misled.
Thus the food industry bears an important responsibility regarding public health.
We cannot fail to see that the food industry is deliberately making millions of victims, and in which economic interests often stand in the way of healthy food.
Look around you and determine how many people are struggling with overweight.
85% of diabetics are overweight, and the disease is taking epidemic proportions.
1 million Belgians and 1.2 million Dutchmen suffer from diabetes.
1 in 3 adults gets diabetes!!
Do they put the finger on the problem?
From childhood, the taste buds are skilfully manipulated, and once they run wild, their owners have adopted life-long dangerous food habits, opposite a very slender-line-culture is running:
Behind both opposing currents, there is a billion-dollar industry. ..
The famous Greek physician Hippocrates presented more than 2000 years ago in his writings: “De alimento” on nutrition: ” In food excellent medication, in food bad medication, bad and good relatively. ”
You could interpret this as food can make you healthy, and food can make you sick; the effect may vary by case.
Fortunately, our pigeon-feeding industry offers top quality, and we have a wide range of good food.
It is up to the fancier to bet this right.
Here, too, it often goes wrong.
During the breeding and the competition period, a lot of protein and a lot of calcium (grit) are naturally fed.
This is inherent in the pigeon racing sport, they really need to perform, it’s not a matter of.
However, both day-to-day habits diminish, each in their own way, the acid in the intestine which is crucial and also a protection against infections…
This means that the fancier must permanently struggle against infections, which he causes unconsciously.
Over almost 40 years Comed is engaged with smart supplements, and meanwhile, the fancier knew how to appreciate them.
A striking example of this is Fertibol an acidic source of calcium.
More and more fanciers replace the acid neutralising grit by Fertibol.
In turn, Roni compensates the disadvantage of protein-rich food.
Meanwhile, Comed has given the appraised airways product Lysocur Forte an extensive upgrade. Its field of application on the airways was extended to the intestine.
It has actually become a total remedy that treats abovementioned nutritional disadvantages and is therefore enriched with specific supplements.
Due to its solubility in water, it meets the legitimate demand of many fanciers who would like to administer through drinking water.
It was a chore to get all this in a bottle, i.e. to solve in the water…
Our classic primary care is mainly administered through the feed, adhered to by oil: Curol, Comedol, Stopmite etc…
However, the disadvantage is that when a pigeon is in less shape (poorly digested, one or another germ incubates), it often eats less and drinks more.
The support they need is logically best through the drink.
Especially the specific problems with the youngsters, always involve their growth.
To develop an adult body, they really get everything out of their diet during their first year of life.
At the slightest hitch they are in trouble, because they have hardly any reserves.
That is normal, nature has provided it so, but that implies -certainly during the competition- that no valuable time can be lost if something is wrong.
An immediate intervention is needed, and it should be effective right away, which is more obvious via drinking water.
The renewed Lysocur Forte can be perfectly combined with Curol and both complement each other in case of serious problems.
Lysocur Forte 1 L will be sold at €29 incl.
Comed is always willing to coach people in their start-up with Comed products.
We do not only want to sell products but to teach you a method.
That is why It is important -certainly in the beginning- to keep close contact with Comed.
You can visit us by appointment for basic instruction, whereby the specific problems can be discussed as well.
In case of problems or other concerns, our pharmacists will always try to help you in your quest.
A schedule is then proposed.
A follow-up on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
We notice that after a few weeks the fancier “has started” and he “quickly gets along with the right ingredients“.
After the season, we are pleased to see that the results meet the expectations.
In short, if we invest so much time, money and effort in our hobby, we must deal with it in an efficient way.

Newsletter 22nd of December: My experiences after half a year COMED
I have known Michel Vanlint for a very long time. He has a keen observation capacity, and I shared with him the quest for the ideal care of pigeons. The Lost Son was very well informed both of the medication and the natural remedies, that made our conversations uncommonly captivating.
At the time, the antibiotics were still very popular, despite the resistance problem, against which I always warned and what intrigued him, not to say without which pigeon sport seemed impossible. As a pharmacist and trader in antibiotics, I had, unlike Michel and many others, made my choice long ago and pleaded against their use in sport in general and especially against blind cures in particular. Many times I was scornfully displaced in medical circles with the remark “what you propose can’t be realised”.
Twelve years ago, he came to visit me, accompanied by the fancier Willem de Bruyn, who still was unknown to me. Willem was a refreshing appearance with an open character and his scientific insights immediately made him a captivating visitor to our house. It was an acquaintance between two men both born in 1949 and who were allowed to experience as adolescents “The Golden Sixties” with next to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, also the grandmaster Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan released in 1964 “Times They are changing”, after putting a final hold on the Vietnam War with some sentences in “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9drv78dCQ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Y51haF_80. Far too late, but more than right he recently won the Nobel Prize for Literature. In May 1968, when the youth managed to tear themselves away from the establishment, we ended up in college.
Willem was very interested in a new approach, and after our first meeting on the antibiotic-free approach, he totally agreed. “I was looking for this conversation for a long time” so he let me know a few days later. Many more conversations followed. As a dentist, Willem was completely fed up with the antibiotic cures. He also found that it could not be possible that whoever had the most powerful antibiotics with the widest spectrum would have the best results. The approach was radically changed, no turning back.
To Michel, it was more difficult to let go his tried and tested medical system with which he was at the top for years. I want to put the impressive record of achievements to the picture.
Then we slightly started to go separate ways, even though with mutual respect for each other’s system. Michel has meanwhile completed his rich competitive career but remains a passionate lover of the sport. The content of our conversations remained, he renewed his interest in the COMED METHOD and supports us with his experienced observations when enhancing the products.
Since his new approach, Willem has been able to look back on an unprecedented, uninterrupted series of victories. I can conclude that this historic first visit by Michel and Willem has in any way laid a stone in our river, which has changed its course completely.
The approach of Comed starts to get more followers. Therefore, I am very grateful to both iconic fanciers and convinced that in the long run, the pigeon sport will be the big winner.
Times they are changing:
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon…
The Incas from the Andes Mountains of Peru showed in their buildings the most astonishing potential of human geometric ingenuity.
The enormous boulders used in Machu Picchu came from the other side of the valley across the wild river, in the most steeply populated country in the world with the sharpest slopes in high mountains.
The perfectly matching granite monoliths colossi, up to 300 tonnes, sometimes 5 meters high, are seamlessly ingeniously
made in a multi-connection and you cannot get a razor blade in between.
This made the whole “earthquake resistant.”
I was always fascinated by the fact that until today nobody understands how they proceeded correctly.
I became more and more intrigued, and when I thought of the limited resources they had available, I was just nervous: they knew nor the wheel, nor the iron, nor the written language.
At most, they had a llama as an extra workforce. When you put a 50-kilo load on it, he drops down to the knees in the mud.
Large complex structures -although created by human hands- made a tremendous impression. Thus they often gave a divine dimension to it.
Many of the buildings have disappeared because the conquistadores cut their blocks into cubic stones, mainly to build their churches with them.
It is quite clear that the conquistadores have never been able to figure out how the Incas were working.
They must have refused to learn how to work their raw stone. It simply cannot be possible, that the Spaniards, if they had known, never mentioned this.
Have the Incas taken their secret architecture into their graves?
Especially the llamas and the sheep are inextricably linked to the Andes.
The condor, the giant vulture, has also been part of it for thousands of years.
It has a wingspan of more than 3 m weighs 15 kg and can eat up to 10 kg at once.
It breeds every two years and lives mainly of carcasses whose decaying scent can be smelled up to 200 km from his nest!
Rather exceptionally he hunts sheep.
The Incas from the Andes had to keep up with the sheep herds.
They bred them because of the wool, the milk and the flesh.
In the last century, the shepherds were increasingly annoyed by the condors that were attracted by the large herds, and they supplied their hatches rather exceptional with a stolen lamb.
Although this was rare, the shepherds decided to shoot the condors without mercy.
After a few decades, however, the sheep had also disappeared with the condors.
These were extinct because of all kinds of strange diseases.
Pretty soon a clever biologist had found the link.
The condor always grabbed the weaker sheep from the herd.
He was thus involved in a strong breed with good resistance to diseases.
When the condor was eliminated as a scavenger of the weak genes, the weak sheep were able to propagate with the result that after a few generations, the oats had outbreaks of diseases against which no remedy existed.
Now that the condor is allowed to go its course, he helps to eliminate the genes of these weak sheep and thus to maintain the population.
The moral of this story is that nature has to go its course.
It’s not smart to keep everything alive.
Give the best natural products to your pigeons, and what about those who do not survive?
Leave them behind.
The weaklings and suckers will cost you a multitude of misery in the long run.
It is a small example of Darwin’s law: The survival of the fittest.
Comed bases his vision on these sober principles and delivers an urgent message: break with the negative past by ceasing preventive work with antibiotics and building the positive future with Curol, Winmix, Roni, Stopmite Clean Etc.
We practise the sport with healthy animals, not with sick animals.
It’s the logic itself.
Honestly, man is allowed to take the animal out of its natural environment and practise a sport with it, provided that we do not make it sick.
Of course, “the sport” influences health: cockfights, bullfighting, are extreme examples.
But also the colouring of birds, unloading pigeons in bad weather.
By interfering with their way of life, human beings charge their health.
Already 40 years, Comed focuses specifically on tackling this problem.
The solution is the COMED METHOD. (No systematic treatment with antibiotics for infections in the illusion that they could sustainably improve sports performance).
Without antibiotics, with Curol, Winmix and Roni etc. even gives a better result.
The pigeon fanciers are always looking for a “strong product”.
Sometimes one doesn’t look so tightly… three-in-one, four-in-one, five antibiotics-in-one mixes were examples of a perverse habit.
For decades Comed has constantly been warning for his in all their lectures and leaflets…
Do we want to be the generation with a dubious reputation, who manages to discover the antibiotics and then, in a few decades, squanders it in purely pointless and stupid use?
Or… do we want to be the generation that turned the tide, predetermining the health of our children with a sense of responsibility?
Which products?
No other choice is possible now.
No nostalgic folk medicine of herbs. Often leading to sometimes dangerous quackery.
No simplistic bio-approach, there must be sufficient effect.
High-tech orthomolecular nutrition and scientifically approached aromatherapy.
We leave behind those animals which cannot survive.
“The survival of the fittest” in the footsteps of Charles Darwin.
We have to select because, for practical reasons, the sports and hobby husbandry of animals cannot keep an entire breed.
Comed is a pronounced searching laboratory.
All formulas are constantly refined, often without much publicity.
Willem de Bruijn was more than ten years ago the early decision maker.
As a medical professional (dentist) he struggled with the irrational use of antibiotics for years.
It led year after year to staggering results.
Comed products are the minimum of non-medicated aid that you should give an animal when you take it out of its biotope and thereby charge for possible health consequences.
The end of the therapeutic tenacity is in sight. Often, improbable treatments were applied, antibiotic cocktails should be called into question on how it could be that the poor animals were still performing, despite the almost intoxication with antibiotics… This caused turmoil in the pigeon sports world. The result with the COMED METHOD: not just as well, but even better without antibiotics.
Follow the COMED METHOD or get hopelessly behind…!!!
