[RC] RC RC:Thanks Leonard - Nik Isahak AbdullahHi Leonard ,Bruce Weary may be right about the probability of you being found 'wondering' somewhere in a Brussel alley [ or was it ?Amsterdam ,he meant ] almost brain depleted for touching on the EL thing .My version . I know you would await more statistical data before you actually put your 'foot in the mouth ' but after your recent ride ride in Lembah Bidong in Terengganu ,Malaysia what is is your gut feeling about EL.Let me put it in another way ,how would you advice your other Belgium colleagues about EL usage in Tropical rides .Some vets here are doing small studies involving collation of electrolytes data from endurance horses completing small endurance training ride I was invovled in last weekend but I think the study is too small and lack science in the 1st place for any conclusion to be made .M ainly palsma electrolyte results may be normal because intracellular electrolulte depletion is not easily measurable .My current practice was a lot of EL before but now with rides mainly starting in the cooler evenings and nights correcting and preempting dehydration more important than the EL issue .No hard science nor statistics here ,just gut feeling .The French position may be right .But here in KL there is no danger in "sleeping with the enemy" as well .
