COLIC PREVENTION & ''CURE'' HINTS

HERBs CAN PREVENT AND 'CURE' COLIC!!!!!!!!!!!! have used Herbs for over 29

years and have not lost one horse to colic. Colic is the #1 killer of horses. There are

many things that bring it on, and i can't say that it helps all kinds of colic, but i can

say that the kinds of colic i have experienced is HAS helped!!! And dozens of my horse

friends use it with great success too. Some are a little afraid and end up calling the

vet anyway, but the only time i called the vet in a VERY bad case, the vet got lost and the

horse was 100% fine by the time he finally showed. Some vets are still sceptical,

i first heard about this from a man who came to me in 1977 wanting 20 cases of Herbs.

His dad had a feed lot, and he was amazed that i didn't know about it's benefits on colic

and scours (deadly diarrhea in calves, foals, and lambs.........). i was sorry i hadn't known

about it before!!!! My childhood horse died of colic before i was introduced to this product.......

DISCLAIMER---The following statements are my PERSONAL experiences only. They are anecdotal in nature and might not work for everyone. I have had horses all my life, and have learned to see the signs of colic, or other stresses, very early on. I immediately jump into action.

**anecdotal --- –adjective Based on personal observation, case study reports, or random investigations rather than systematic scientific evaluation: anecdotal evidence. Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis. from Dictionary.com

For colic prevention--------give 3-10 herb tabs daily in feed. Some will be picky at first, but you

can start with one and work up. OR, put an entire bottle in the blender, and sprinkle a

bit on the grain or other feed they like. equine senior is terrific for feeding any

supplement!!!! Some love it right out of your hand!!! MOST horses with colic histories

do just fine with 5 a day, but occasionally some need more. Especially important when

the weather gets cold, many horses seem to colic more then, and some will colic when

their feed changes. One of our miniature mares had a very bad colic episode a couple of

days after she foaled and we worked on her for several hours before she finally returned

to normal.. One of my mares, and my neighbor's stallion, get 5 every day 365 days a year.

i keep 2 bottles of 'blended' Herbs on hand at all times!!!! One in our barn, one in the

first-aid kit i take with me everywhere. (i also give each dog one herb tab every day for

cleansing and de-toxing; and one liver detoxing tab 3 times a week........)

For colic 'cure'-----------into a drinking glass, 2/3 full of water, add 2 drops H

(makes that water wetter!!!!!!!!) and about 25-30 Herbs. i just pour the powder, about

2 heaping tablespoons, into the water/basic-h solution. Stir well.

Stand higher than the horse (on a 55 gallon barrel, the back of a pickup, or something

of similar height), hold their head up (i put the lead rope over my shoulder and try to have

an assistant to help, but can be done alone just fine) and using a Turkey Baster (or a Dose Syringe), squirt the

mixture into the back of their mouth and massage till they swallow. The reason you are up

high is to facilitate the stuff going down the horse and not all over you!!! If the colic

pain is especially bad, i give 10 cc. Banamine IM along with the Herbs routine.

Walk the horse for about 15-45 minutes, or until they are better. The longest i have

ever had a horse stay colicy is 45 min; most are much better in 15-30 min. some say

it is best to just let the horse stand and not walk, and even let them lie down..... also very

helpful with some horses is to take them for a ride in the trailer.

i have also had 2 experiences with major colic from horses getting into Large amounts

of grain. Foundering is an added serious problem (heat in the hoof walls that can

cause terminal lameness). With both horses, they got the Herb-lax routine along with a

bottle of crushed calcium (helps disperse gas), given several times a day.

One horse i stood in snow, the other i packed his hooves with ice (because it was summer).

Both were pretty sick for over 24 hours, but had full recoveries!!!! I also gave them a couple of

It takes a lot of work and diligence on your part (and being ever-mindful and alert to the

early symptoms of colic), but i have personally had 100% success so far. i have

saved thousands of dollars over the years, and my horses as well!!! HOWEVER, I

have had horses who have been colicy for a couple of days (either I was not here to

observe, or the horses were out in pasture and did not come in daily), and I had the

same good success with them as well. i'd be willing to bet that my success rate is MUCH

higher than just about any vet!!! i am sure there are some forms of colic that don't respond

to this routine, but i haven't run into them yet. If we could only get every horse owner to

keep Herb-lax on hand, and use faithfully as a prevention as well as a 'cure,' i am sure we

my accupuncture vet friend from Minn. was surprised that none of my horses had sore

liver points when he first came to see them; we attribute a lot of that to the cleansing

power of Herbs!!!!!!! strongid, a daily wormer that I use, is known to cause toxic reactions

to the accupuncture points but i have never had any horse on herbs have sore

For scours-------in water, put 2 drops -H and 2 Herbs. Apply with a Turkey

Baster. Repeat 2 or 3 times. Very occasionally, you may have to repeat more, but 1-3

Remember, this is not endorsed by anyone 'official,' but it sure has

i use H for fly (all bugs) spray!!!!!!!! In a pint or quart spray bottle, fill 1/5 to 1/3

with H, and the rest wateru, with a few drops of pennyroyal oil or citronella oil.

Good for mosquitoes too! Put straight H on horse ears and dog ears and around

your ears too, as well as your hair line, to keep away gnats and mosquitoes!!!!!! NO

toxins to enter the body thru the largest organ, the skin.

H is also a fabulous WOUND & PROUD FLESH dressing…. I first heard

about this from a friend whose prize appolussa was caught in a barbed wire fence out

on a ride. They got him out, and all she had was a 4-oz bottle of H, with which she

soaked the wound…..it was healing so well that they only used H the entire

time. I have personally used it many times with fabulous success!!! my most recent

FABULOUS shaklee convention when tom called to say our old mare, pilar, had been

gored in the rear end by one of the neighbor's ''visiting'' bison. tom sent me a photo on

email and it looked as if it did not need stitches, only lots of basic-h applied to the

wound. coming soon........ a web page dedicated to ''Tom's Buffalo Shuffle.''
