Detox means diarrhea; that is all. Of course calcium helps ulcers, temporarily, look at the main ingredient in tums, calcium bicarbonate. Calcium only controls symptoms though.
Like anything, be careful and don't look for a one stop shop to fix all yours or your horses' health woes. There is truth in 'too much of a good thing.'
It's the bicarbonate in tums that neutralizes the gastric acid. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda ) does the same thing.
I'd love it if someone would tell me what these "toxins" are they are talking about.
the bad ones.
You know the ones that cause inflammation.

Interesting. My mom, who is a nurse, told me they used to prescribe milk for acid issues because of the calcium so I assumed it was the calcium that had a short term neutralizing effect. Milk is certainly basic in ph. |

I believe they are also called horse apples. Why else would they come out the back end? Having just had 3 inches of rain very little smells as toxic as wet horse $hit. |

There's a lot of myth about ulcers that persists. People used to say orange juice, for example, caused or irritated ulcers because it is acidic. The fact is that almost any food raises the pH in the stomach, including orange juice. Weakly acidic substances in the stomach raise the pH. The HCl in the stomach is very acidic so anything is better than pure gastric acid. I'm talking humans.....horses almost always have food in their stomachs, of course. |

Location: West Texas | Here is a list of all of the minerals in Bentonite. I though it would be helpful to the discussion.
