Re: [RC] OT- Remedy X - Stewart, CarrieWhile I normally agree with what you say, I have a horse who is on homeopathic 'remedy X' and is completely sound from a fatal illness he would have surely died from if left untreated. I would have died myself if we would have lost him and now he is an important breeding stallion and endurance prospect. We went the normal route with him at first and when that didn't work we had to look for other options. We were at the 'What the heck, let's give it a try!' stage with nothing to loose. All I have to say is to think outside of the box when looking at treatments other that the norm as long as they are not dangerous to the horse. Carrie Stewart and Saint Carthage, Texas From: "Sullivan" <greymare@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [RC] OT what to do with the horse droppings? Thanks Susan for both a vet perspective and a good dose of plain old common sense! It boggles the mind how gullible some folks are to believe both annecdotal stories, testimonials and the claims (not backed up by any scientific studies), of companies trying to push herbal remedies, refrigerator magnet boots, and much of the nutritional supplements.... One of the popular herbal catalogs has miracle stories about horses that were basically crippled up...then put on remedy X and suddenly sound and a new lease on life How surprised I was to see a horse I used to own (bought back by the ditzy lady who sold her to me) and the pack of lies about how the horse had been a 100 mile horse, crippled up with arthritis, etc, given potion whatsit and suddenly cantering around like a baby. Nothing was true! I laughed my head off....
