Equine fescue edema – poisoning in the horse meadow

If your horse is out in the pasture and has recurring swellings and edema,

you should definitely think about edema.

Often the swelling and edema decrease when the horse is in motion.

Equine fescue edema is caused by grass poisoning.

Other diseases that are triggered by this are:

– fescue edema

– Ergot poisoning

– ryegrass staggers

– liver damage

Symptoms can be:

– Swelling of the parotid glands, nostrils, eyes, lips

– Edema of the genital organs, neck and trunk

– Water retention on the head

– drowsiness

– Infertility of mares

– Intestinal paralysis – and obstruction

– colic

– swollen joints

– Tremble

– headshaking

– Frightfulness

– Laminitis

– Mallenders

– Sallenders

– skin and coat problems

– tarnished legs

– abnormal liver values

– frequent inflammation of the eyes

Emergence:

The poisoning is caused by endophytes.

Endophytes are fungi that enter into a community with plants.

The fungus penetrates the entire plant from the stem to the leaves and flowers.

The endophytes get stressed by drought, heat, cold, water supply or eating

through insects or grazing animals, they produce increased toxins.

These toxins are supposed to prevent the predators from continuing to eat.

It is concentrated poison and animals will eat it when nothing else is available.

If horses ingest too large quantities, serious illnesses can result,

which can also be fatal.

Endophytic seeds are sold to make the plants more resilient and the meadows more resilient

make it more profitable.

The following types of grass are particularly affected:

– German ryegrass

– Meadow fescue

– Red fescue

What to do:

– Feed zeolite / bentonite to bind and remove the mycotoxins

– Assist the liver to evacuate the toxins

– Free hay

– slow grazing

– Alternating grazing

– Take special care in summer and autumn because of stress on the endophytes

temperature fluctuations

– sow a variety of grass species

The best is to test individually the appropiate remedies to support your horse in recovery.

This could be perfectly done with bioresonance according to the BNR method, kinesiology or tensor.

HPU, horse – the next “illness” to make money? 

Cryptopyrroluria - short CPU, is a metabolic disorder.
Meanwhile, this disorder is also called hemopyrrolactamuria - HPU.

This disorder was first discovered in humans and the different names
result from the measuring methods of the labs.
It is not a disease, but a metabolic disorder.

What happens in the body
The horse's immune system is considerably disturbed by vaccinations, de-worming, medication, mycotoxins, pesticides, preservatives and dyes in feed.
The liver needs vitamin B6, zinc and manganese to be able to excrete these toxins.
The intestinal flora is destroyed by antibiosis, worming, etc.
As a result, the vitamin B synthesis is disturbed and vital substances cannot be absorbed.
So the entire metabolism derailed.
Because of this metabolic derailment, there is a high loss of vitamin B6, zinc, manganese and other nutrients. These are increasingly excreted in the urine and can´t be compensated through food.

Symptoms of a metabolic disorder can be
- gastrointestinal problems such as colic, diarrhea, fecal water, flatulence
- Eczema, mallanders, sallanders, thrush
- Skin and allergy problems such as dull fur, slow change of fur, cough
- Laminitis
- Cushing, EMS, PSSM, IMM
- The reference values ​​of the vital substances in the blood are below or at the lowest limit
- not good horn formation, bone and tooth problems
- muscle problems

Therapy
The main problems are the disturbance of the intestinal flora and incorrect feeding.
Therapy should therefore consist of the following factors:
- Rehabilitation of the intestinal flora
- Checking and changing the feeding
- Hay, straw, mineral feed, detoxification - everything should be individually tailored to your horse
- housing conditions
- reduce stress factors
- adequate, species-appropriate movement
- Avoid vaccinations, drugs, etc. that destroy the intestinal flora and the immune system

Conclusion
So CPU / HPU is not an independent disease - don't let anyone tell you,
especially not from someone who wants to sell you products in addition to an analysis of pyrrole excretion.
There is no CPU / HPU in horses - and also not in dogs.

Aurale Plaques bei Pferden

Aural Plaques, horse – Bioresonance according to the BNR-method

Small, white, depigmented warts or plaques on the inner surface of the pinna are mostly aural plaques.
Aural plaques are probably caused by papilloma viruses, exactly those also causing sarcoids.
The black mosquito is often mentioned as a carrier of the virus.

With a viral disease it is always the most important thing to strengthen the organism so that it can defend itself against the viruses.

Aural plaques can be asymptomatic, but can also be very uncomfortable for the horse,
what can be expressed in massive rejection of all kinds of touches (cleaning, cuddling, snaffling)
to headshaking.

It is important to treat the horse both internally and externally.

Internally, the immune system should always be strengthened, i.e.:
– Build up intestinal flora
– Add vital substances
– feed agents against viruses and bacteria, e.g. L-lysine and rock rose
– Defense-strengthening vitamins, such as vitamins E, C and B-vitamins
– detoxification (the body is overloaded with deworming, antibiotics, vaccinations, painkillers etc.)
– In most cases, special sarcoid agents are also needed

Externally, the question is of course whether the horse even lets you touch the ear ….
If you can get it, two remedies have proven particularly useful:
– Thuja tincture dilution
– Calapo Skin Oil

Of course the best is always to tailor the therapy individually to the horse, that works wonderfully with the bioresonance therapy according to the BNR method.

Equine herpes virus – bioresonance according to the BNR-method

Herpes virus diseases are triggered by various herpes viruses.
The most important is the EHV-1 virus.

The various viruses can cause the following diseases:

  • rhinopneumonitis
  • Abortion
  • genital infections
  • Neurological diseases as ataxia, impaired bladder function or paralysis
  • inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea of the eyes

The disease is usually accompanied by a fever between 38.5 ° – 41 ° C, many horses stop eating.

It is important to find an individual solution for each horse.
It would of course be best if the horse is completely in balance, the intestinal flora is built up, the supply of vital substances is ensured and it is kept and fed in a horse-friendly manner, then it can
be easily supported with naturopathy.

The most important herpes remedies are listed below:

  • L-lysine
  • Rock rose, pure, ground or as tea
  • Wheat germ oil (as a vitamin E supplier)
  • rose hips

Herpes viruses are also easy to inactivate using common disinfectants.

Conventional medicine works with antipyretic, anti-inflammatories and antivirals.

Of course, the pharmaceutical companies have also developed vaccines again.
However, the side effects of vaccination are exactly the symptoms that are described above with the disease.
One can hardly speak of antibody formation, since the vaccination should be repeated every 6 months.
Only the disease, which the horses can still get, should run more harmlessly.
In addition, re-infections with field viruses cannot be prevented.
So think carefully and consider whether you should really vaccinate your horse.

Get well soon.

Diagnosis ECS – Equine Cushing Syndrome – critically questioned

I’ve been treating a lot of supposed Cushing horses lately.

The diagnosis has not been confirmed in a single case, so it is very important to me to examine this terrible diagnosis more closely.

For many veterinarians, the external signs such as shaggy curly fur, a bad fur shedding, strong shoveling of the fur, a change in the muscles, weakness, sweating, laminitis or a sagging belly suffice as suspicious factors.

Usulally a blood count is taken and an elevated ACTH value is then evidence of the Cushing.

They prescribe Prascend, Pergolidmesilat or Corticosal novalis and that’s it.

However, the horses are still getting worse and mostly they are “switched off”, depressed, listless, lacking in joie de vivre through these drugs, often with colic and gastrointestinal problems.

Veterinarians say that a degeneration of the pituitary gland, like a tumor, would increase the release of ACTH.

However, this is only one of the possible causes for the increase in ACTH.

The concentration of ACTH fluctuates with the time of day:

There is a lot of ACTH in the blood in the morning, less in the evening.

ACTH is a classical stress hormone.

With stress such as psychological or physical stress, pain, cold, illness, injuries, malnutrition ACTH is increasingly released.

For some horses it is already so stressful to take blood that this alone becomes one cause to an increased ACTH value.

Permanent pain and stress due to stomach problems, management, improper horse keeping, sensitivity, painful tension, dental problems, osteoarthritis, kissing spines, parasites, out of balance metabolism, malnutrition, excessive energy supply etc. increase the ACTH value and thus also the cortisol release, which is then showed in Cushing symptoms.

Conclusion: please always look for causes of pain and stress and turn them off at all levels before you accept a Cushing diagnosis.

Elsa, Horse – Eczema & Bioresonance

Elsa is a 10-year-old mare who has been suffering from eczema for years.

The owners have already tried everything possible – without sustainable success.

The horse caring is perfect.

With bioresonance we analyzed the horse and optimized the feeding.

If the intestine is not in balance, the liver and kidneys are stressed, the skin is used as the last possible detoxification organ.

So, first of all, we brought the excretory organs into balance, as If these are not okay, the body can´t detoxify.

The detoxification of the whole organism is important as the horse is fed with preservative,

aromas and dyes, grass and hay silage, contaminated hay / straw, vaccinations, de-worming, etc

is incredibly stressful.

This detoxification disorder was the cause of the eczema.

Already when we “just” built up the the excretory organs, it got better.

Then we detoxified Elsa completely with the right detoxifying remedy for her.

In addition, we of course treated the skin externally.

For the following reasons we have checked the feeding:

The entire metabolism is extremely contaminated with preservatives, flavorings and dyes, which are contained in cereals, treats and so on.

Phytic acid, as phytates, which exists e.g. in cereals and oilseeds, ties minerals and trace elements, so they are no longer available to the body.

Hay and straw can be contaminated with pollutants, pesticides and dangerous plants.

Silage can be contaminated by the fermentation processes with biogenic amines,

which have a negative effect on the liver metabolism.

We have tested everything individually with bioresonance, so that Elsa now gets exactly what she needs.

With every de-worming and vaccination, the intestinal flora is build up parallel and the body will detoxified afterwards, so that the detoxification disorder and with this exzema can´t come back anymore.

Malanders / Sallanders horses & ponies – bioresonance

Malenders is a skin disease in and around the fetlock of the horse, which is also called Eczema.

It forms nodules, vesicles and bloody scabs.

If the eczema spreads to the inside of the carpal- and tarsal joints, it is called sallanders.

Especially through the scab, there are always the smallest injuries of the skin,

so that it often comes to bacterial, mite or fungal infections.

Often it is greasy and stinking.

If the malenders has been around for a long time, the skin becomes thicker due to the permanent irritation / injuries / scar tissue.

In order to heal malanders/ sallanders sustainably, the following points are important:

– malanders/ sallanders always must be treated internally and externally

– with bioresonance, the right remedies can be tested easily

– the horses must have a chance to stand dry

– Do not shave the fur, just cut it short

– do not take of the scab, it will fall off when the skin is healed underneath

– Supply with vital substances, minerals, trace elements, vitamins

– hayfeeding – should always be anyway

– Mictures as „Müsli“ and co have to be deduct – horses shouldn´t have it anyway

– If special food is required, pay attention to the very best quality with oats, linseed and co

– Stabilize excretory organs

– detoxification of the entire organism, as the horse  is incredibly burdened through food with

preservative,aromas and dyes, grass and hay silage, contaminated hay / straw, vaccinations,

worming, etc

– If the malanders/ sallanders areas are sustainably healed, a scar treatment should follow

since the skin has often developed scar tissue

Internally i.a.

– Build up intestinal flora

– Supply of vital substances, minerals, trace elements, vitamins

Externally i.a.

– Dr. Dahl’s Minus Water, Belavet

– Calapo Skin Oil

– scar cream

In general

– Check conditions and management

If you supply the horse internally and externally with the right remedies, the malanders/ sallanders

is healed after a few weeks.

Pineta, horse – abortion – bioresonance

Pineta is a 12-year-old mare, who has already lost a foal for the second time.

Abortion can have many causes:

– Viruses

– Bacteria

– stress and overexertion

– Feeding

– standard of hygiene at mating

– Umbilical cord

– Uterine infection

– Placenta abruption

– Fall

– Trauma

– Twins

– Management and environment

– Disease of the foal

– Other diseases

Of course, the vet has immediately excluded that it is based on an contagious infection, because even more mares were pregnant.

It is very important to observe the mare after the abortion.

In addition to the emotional factors, e.g. fever, uterus / udder inflammation or even laminitis can occur. With the bioresonance analysis, we brought the immune system into balance and rinsed the mare several times internally, in order to prevent any bacterial or viral processes.

Of course, we supported her with homoeopathic remedies in her grief.

Next year she will hopefully give birth to a healthy foal.
