Herbie - 2016-01-04 3:38 PM MidWest1452 - 2016-01-04 2:47 PM I started Cur Ost on my COPD mare just over two weeks ago. I started the Total support and Immune. I haven't seen a complete turn around like others did but I have noticed several positive improvements. She has a lot more energy and she is happier (she was quite the grouch before!! ) and that improvement in two weeks has me very excited to see what two more weeks on Cur Ost does for her. I just consulted Dr. Schell on the SecondVet Forum a week ago or so and ordered some products for my 23 y/o arthritic gelding. Hoping to get him comfortable again and get back to some light riding. Just got his product in the mail today so I can't wait to start him tonight. I also moved over to oats, flax and quality hay (50/50 grass, alfalfa ) from processed feeds and TONS of supplements. This makes feeding time simple and if I continue to see positive improvements, it will be a win-win all around!  My respiratory issues weren't 100% gone in 14 days, but I was able to start exercising my horse and encouraging him to cough.  At the 14 day mark, I still had quite a bit of coughing and that's when I began being able to lunge him to encourage the cough and movement of the phlegm up and out. Don't be afraid to exercise your mare very lightly even if she is coughing. The only way to improve these respiratory conditions is to get the trash up and out.  The tough things about these, and any condition, is that the level of improvement is direclty related to how much scar tissue is present and how long the condition has been plaguing our horse. Sometimes it takes YEARS for our horses to develop these conditions.Â
In 30 days I had a new horse. Yes, he still coughed some and occasionally will still cough and clear his throat, but he's not suffocating in front of me and he's able to be ridden and hauled. Hang in there! I'm anxious to hear how your gelding does as well. Isn't it nice to have things simplified and see the results!Â
 Our warm up cough was gone in 5 days, but when I ran him at day 10 he came out sneezing and snorting and blowing chunks out of his head.  Herbie was like GOOD, we're getting somewhere when I talked to her about it. LOL The next run I made was at the 3 week period and not only did he come out breathing easy, he was more focused and had totally stopped shying because he could SEE clearly.Â
My COPD guy at about day 5 would just put his head down and let the junk run out his nose! | |

    Location: North Dakota | She only coughed one time today and that was when I was brushing her before I rode. I'm hoping I'm doing enough on the exercise part to get anything that's in there moving up and out. I've only been able to ride 2-3 times a week the last few weeks when normally it was 5-6 times before. She defiantly isn't taking any steps backwards in her health so I have faith that with some more time she will be better than ever.
I'm also very anxious to see how my gelding does. By direction of Dr. Schell, I started him on the loading dose of the Pure formula today. I was jumping up and down like a crazy person tonight cause my gelding actually ate it. He normally sticks his nose up at any powder in his grain and I was certain with the high levels in the Pure formula and banana smell he would pick around it.. But instead I came back into the barn to find that he had licked his bucket clean. So happy! | |

         Location: North Dakota | daisycake123 - 2016-01-02 4:39 PM any peoples take it and how did this help you and what conditions do you have.
I've talked about it in other threads but I'll do it again. I have extreme chronic neck/back pain. I've had x-rays and MRI done. Tried PT, chiro, massage, injections, accupuncture, all that. Nothing has helped. Then a going on 2 years ago, I developed horrible inflammation in my knees. I'm in my 20's and have no arthritis or physical reason for this pain. They just hurt. Non-stop but especially when standing up/sitting down. Standing up from a seat where I couldn't push myself up with my arms literally made me cry! I tried the Cur-Ost out of desperation and it has not helped my back at all, but I think the issue there is more than any regular pain killer can handle. BUT it cleared up my knee pain quickly! It is COMPLETELY gone. Once I was off it for a week and I could start to feel the pain coming back so it's not like my knees just stopped hurting on their own. It is the Cur-Ost keeping me "sound". | |

         Location: Louisiana | Well my gelding is eating it!
Pure, which is strangely banana flavored, Stomach, and Adapt. He has a little bit left in his bucket, but he has eaten the bulk of it and keeps going back for more in between bites of alfalfa :)

| I am a psychology professor. I have come to the conclusion that Curost has made me OCD!!! It has worked so well on my bay horse that I have started to " look" for problems in my colt. The way he stands, eats, acts etc. any little off step I make mental note. Lol it sucks. He is such a nice, winning , once in a lifetime horse that I am going nuts over Curost formulas. Lol. I am keeping him on total support and doing like the country song says " shut up and ride". | |

Don't say that! I am hoping that my OCD tendencies will STOP once I get my horses on CurOst! | |
