My horse was reluctant to eat it at first, but after a few days of creative mixing, he started eating it. I always warn people when they start the respiratory blends, that coughing and nasal discharge can increase. My horse coughed incessantly the first week of the double dose. I emailed Dr. Schell during that time frame out of concern, and he reassured me this was necessary to get the trash and mucous out of his airways, much like a pneumonia patient is encouraged to cough....only one way to get it out and is up and out. It was alarming at first to see the increased cough, but it began to dissipate the second week, and by the end of the 3rd week the cough was gone and hasn't come back.
Glad you found a program that is working for you and your crew is doing well. Lots of ways to skin a cat, that's for sure!  Same here. My horse was already coughing during warmup, but it was a seemingly dry cough. Day 10, he came out from making a run and blew all kinds of horrendous gunk out of his head. Day 21, he made a 1d run. It had been over a year since he had done that. Btw, I took a break feeding it mid winter to save some money. Wasn't worth it.
I started with total and immune (thanks Herbie), then dropped to total by itself. | |

Location: NE Texas | With the anti-inflammatory support offered through the Total Support, you will get joing protection. It's a different philosphy in how to maintain and protect joints. Rather than trying to put back what is being depleted, by managing and reducing the inflammation, we're reducing the depletion and the inflammation that is the cause of joint damage. I will attach the links to a couple articles below from the website to better explain there are alot of really interesting articles on the website disucssing different conditions and how we can do a better job maintaining.

If you're getting enough improvement with the turmeric paste mix, then there may not be a need to change. I did the paste as well for a couple of weeks prior to starting the Cur-OST products. I did get very slight improvement, but it just wasn't strong enough for my horse. Granted, he was in really rough shape, but the Cur-OST got the jump start he needed. His cough was gone in 2 weeks and I was back to riding him in 30 days. The results you're seeing from the paste is coming from the curcurmin in the turmeric. Turmeric is only about 2-5% curcurmin, so it takes a large amount of turmeric to achieve the same results as could be done with pure curcurmin. The Cur-OST products contain BCM-95 Curcurmin, which offers a much higher absorption rate than that of even pure curcurmin, combined with other potent anti-inflammatory herbs to pack a powerful punch. http://www.curcuminforhealth.com/the-difference-between-turmeric-and-curcumin/ http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2007/10/report_curcumin/page-01

I'm still doing Pentosan for joints. My horse has some pretty significant arthritis in his front fetlocks. He hasn't needed to have the joints injected in almost a year, I don't know if I will be able to stretch that out or not. His stifles are healthy in the joint itself, but he's built too straight behind and is prone to inflammation and locking--I can see improvement in this, although I didn't realize it until I took him off and started back. | |
