16 year old horse with Ring Bone

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Q - I have a 16 year old horse who has ring bone. what can I do to heal him? thank you, Carole

Hi Carole -

I am sorry to hear that your horse has Ring Bone.  I personally have had excellent success using the BioScan products along with proper mineralization and anti-inflammatory products to address both Ring Bone and Side Bone problems.  There are 2 ways in which BioScan products can help.

Tendon Savers around the ankleFor the general horse owner, the BioScan ankle saver or tendon saver (probably the ankle saver - these are specific to the right or left ankles) is the place to start.  Depending upon where on the leg the ring bone is located (high or low).  Use the ankle saver for 20 minutes at a time, at least once and preferably twice a day.

If you have a BioScan therapist in your area, or purchase a full BioScan system, you can use the BioScan system to locate and balance energy blockages throughout the body which may be related to why the ring bone originally occurred.  This will also speed the breakdown of the calcium deposits and healing of the area.

Another tip - give 1 - 2 tsp per day of Ester-C powder to assist the body with assimilating the calcium deposits and cover the bony growths with Dynamite’s Wound Balm daily to help soften and dissolve the ring bone.

Please feel free to email either BioScan or myself with any additional questions!

Blessings,

Kay

What a difference the lights make!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Misty is a sweet Peruvian Paso mare that arrived in late October to our ranch with severe acute DSLD - Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Disease.  Many readers will recognize her from earlier blog entries on the BioScan and Grand Adventures Ranch blogs.  Due to surgery on his ankle, our vet did not see or evaluate Misty until she had been with us for 6 weeks - and that delay may have saved her life.  Dr. McMillan had received our reports and the veterinary diagnosis from the previous vets in Phoenix and was keeping abreast of our therapy protocols.  When he did finally see her, he was blown away by her progress and stated baldly that, if he had seen her when she arrived, from the photos and reports he had been given, he would have euthanized her immediately.

Misty with light accessoriesThank goodness for BioScan.  With almost daily treatment with the lights on her legs, neck, back, poll, hocks, etc - Misty has made amazing progress.  She now stands straight legged most of the time, with very little palmer flexion at the knee.  Her hind legs are now properly aligned under her hindquarters instead of tucked up under her.  Originally, she was so weak in the hindquarters that the slightest tail pull could pull her over.  Today, she is pulling back strongly and can handle side pulls as well.  She rarely lays down and is now able to handle short round pen exercise at the walk and jog.  In fact, she scared her owner this weekend by dragging her to the pen and proceeding to run, buck and rear in fun!

While not out of the woods completely, this beautiful mare has made amazing progress.  The vet has warned her owner that she will never be rideable - but we don’t want to count it out!  Our guideline now is whether or not the nuchal ligament from poll to withers can retighten.  It is very weak and flaccid.  But after her light therapy, Misty is happy to let us stretch and exercise her neck and as she continues to strengthen elsewhere, her neck is sure to follow.

So don’t let a “death knell” diagnosis prevent you from trying.  With light therapy, proper nutrition and detoxification, anything is possible.

When everything is a hot point

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

What can you do when it seems like every point on the body that you touch with the BioFind wand produces a loud high-pitched tone?  If you have already turned your sensitivity setting down to 1 and turned down the gate (all the way counter-clockwise) and you are still getting too many tones - you may want to try an acupuncture meridian approach to using your BioPack.

For instance, we recently had a Peruvian Paso mare arrive with multiple veterinary diagnosis:  bowed tendons, stifle damage, lymph-eodema, and DSLD (degenerative suspensory ligament disease).  No matter what the real diagnosis, she is in a great deal of pain.  Her front legs are swollen and hot and she exhibits overall body stiffness.  Simply walking is difficult for her.  Our first attempt to use the BioFind produced over 50 “primary” point on just her neck and left shoulder.  She was obviously too reactive to get a clear idea of what points would be the most beneficial to treat with the lights.

So rather spend an inordinate amount of time using the “Hold” button method for determining the absolute most reactive points on her body, we chose to assist her using a meridian approach.  In acupuncture, all of the major meridians have association points along the Bladder meridian.  The Bladder Meridian is also important for clearing toxicity from the body.  So it is often beneficial to approach problems like this mare’s by beginning there.

Breeze recovers from a broken back

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

In December of 2005 I met Breeze. She was an 8 year old Morgan mare who was part of a string of horses used for taking tourists on trail rides here in the Coronado National Forest. She had been diagnosed with severe impaction almost 2 months before and was having to be flushed manually every day with water and given laxatives in order for her to pass manure. Her owner were about to put her down when we met.

What 3 vets had failed to notice was that Breeze’s tail could be lifted up and laid along her spine and her anus was completely flaccid. Her sacrum was twisted and one hip was locked at least 2 inches above and in front of the other. Subsequent vet inspection (by a different vet) showed that Breeze had somehow broken her sacral spine in two to three places and stretched or torn the sacral ligaments. She couldn’t poop because she had damaged the nerves that controlled peristalsis. (more…)
