I enclose this post of a great person, who's respect and honesty is great to say the least I hope it helps. I've never had y/b sickness, then I also believe that Garden Lime left in the drinkers  overnight 2/3 a week has a soothing effect. other say the ingrediants could cause E. Coli. never know about that, and way I hope this helps....

 

Year before last I conducted a Field Trial of an experimental mixture of five different Carbonates against YBS. I had some good advice from the CEO of an American firm that were working on a similar problem to do with cattle, and came up with a product I named "Xerek". It works against what we call "YB Sickness" - but be aware that there are other maladies with symptoms that may look like the symptoms of YBS but are not the same animal! Anyway, in brief "Xerek" works, and works fast. I have long ago lost count of the number of letters of appreciation that have been received.

When I had perfected the formula I gave it away, to the man whom I know is honest and fair, Richard Wylie, head of the UK Division of DAZER International. There was only one provision, that he marketed it at £5 or less, so the Fancy would not be screwed, as so many purveyors of potions have done in recent years, you know their names, they come and go like the wind. Mix a sachet of "Xerek" into one gallon of water, and fill a drinker. Top it up the next day, and again on the third day. Within the first six hours an improvement will be seen in the birds, vomiting stops, droppings solidify, feathers tighten and the bird wants to get out and fly again. Some fanciers have used the product on Mon/Tues and won the following Saturday, so it works ! In my opinion YBS is caused by a fungus, not a virus as so many people think. I am sure of it. You can't treat a virus but you can treat a fungus. "Xerek" costs £5 a sachet, or on special offer sometimes at "buy two get another free". I do not make a penny piece from it. I neither need nor want it. Suppliers are Dazer (UK) 16, Thorpe Meadows, Peterborough PE3 6GA, or "Old Hand Supplies" at 298 Torquay Rd Preston, PAIGNTON, Devon TQ3 2ER, or myself at 15, Munday's Mead, Wincanton, Som. BA9 9HL.
