Reply to Rounds With Doc T – "Inflammation In Horses" - 2022 August 28th
The gut microbiome and its relationship with our bodies are fundamental to our health—disease results from our body’s immune reaction to this relationship (inflammation). The foods and medicines placed into this gut environment determine the microbiome’s population and the immune response. When correct, health occurs.
Probiotics, like all… Read more

Reply to Reducing side-bone in hoofs naturally

Deposition of bone is a result of forces applied to the bone. These forces create piezoelectric currents that attract calcium and form more bone, which is why all bones are curved and have bumps. I also have “bone spurs” on every knuckle of… Read more
