My 12 year old sheltie male has been tested for heartworms and the results were possitive.I am scared of the dangerous treatments for this and would appreciate any info on some natural cures for my dog.He is 30.01 pounds.He is on a holistic diet and is taken good care of.I have heard that black walnut hulls are a good heartworm preventive.Is that true?

Give him walnut hulls and dance around an oak tree every third sunday night in the nude.
Just kidding.

There is no natural treatment for heartworm that actually works. He needs proper treatment, and quickly.

It is likely that this heartworm will kill him.
shame on you for not treating your dog properly and allowing him to contract heartworm.

Also, Im not sure what you think a "holisitic" diet consists of, but if its anything more than meat, carbs (like rice or pasta), an occasional raw bone and some really good quality dry dog food, then he probably isnt his healthiest anyway. He is a dog - not a human… we have very different dietry requirements.
