I need to come clean with all of you. I have been cheating on the no grain diet. Please forgive me but I and Melissa have been put into an impossible position. Tis the season of sugary treats offered by grateful clients..

Nothing about dentistry, nutrition or horses. I take a break. We all should once in a while to rejuvenate my senses. Photography is how I do this. Just some of my 2017 photos.

The cause of EOTRH in horses is based on the current thought that it is an autoimmune disease. Lectins without mucous leads to leaky gut at the gums.

Within veterinary medicine are recognized divisions (surgery, medicine, ambulatory) and within these are hidden divisions. Do these affect horse owners and dentistry?

Attending the 2017 AAEP meeting offers the small but guaranteed chance of learning something that will last a lifetime. Here is one of those times from 2002 in Glasgow.

Our beliefs are based on what we’ve been taught by trusted sources. But is the knowledge we gain from mentors with no experience or with agendas really helping our horses?

In every moment of life in our horses, there is a battle between the body and the invading organisms surrounding them. To win, the immune system needs to be calm and in good condition.

Lectins are plant proteins developed by plants to protect their seeds from being eaten and killed by animal digestion. They cause autoimmune disease, leaky gut syndrome and hormonal disruption, etc.

Symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms. Horses cannot live without the microbes living happily in their digestive tract.

Hurricanes, floods, fires and ice bring anxiety along with preparation work. Similar natural disasters occur everywhere. Here are links for help in the US, FL and TX.

An 80 year old client lost his mare because he could not get adequate veterinary care. The reasons are disturbing and reflect badly on this profession but I can find no solutions.

Our horses digestive tract is a tube running through the body. This is a fundamental principle to understand. The hole in the doughnut isn’t part of the doughnut but is necessary to the doughnut.

People are comfortable where they are – unwilling to make the effort to connect with each other or their horses. People pass opportunities when they settle for being comfortable.

Horses living in climates with high temperatures and high humidity are often affected by anhidrosis (non-sweating). This is a highly effective cure that costs nothing and works in 3 to 4 days.

Integrity is a trait assumed to exist in all professionals but they are only human. The stories here and my first hand experiences indicate the associated low self esteem.
