Dr.
Mack's thoughts on EVH1. 5/24/11
Equine Herpes Virus 1 is potentially a large threat to our horses
and our ability to move around and enjoy our activities with them.
In the last two weeks rumors and reports spread like wildfire. I
myself was showing my beloved show jumper Curtis in Calgary when the
first news about the Ogden, Utah outbreak occurred. I immediately
began to shift from having a ball at the show to worrying if I would
be able to get him back a cross the border, worrying about a drip
from his nose or slightly stocked up hind legs. Wondering about the
mare in the next barn that has a snotty nose... Everything is
vibration! I am telling you it takes discipline to not buy into the
drama and know that your horse is well. Remember that there are many
more healthy horses in North America than EVH1 infected ones. Turn
your attention and focus on keeping the healthy horses balanced and
well! This may be the biggest shift in your vibration that will keep
you and your horse healthy.
Here
are some of my recommendations for keeping your horse healthy and
preventing any Herpes like viral infection this summer:
1) Don't travel anywhere with your horse for the next three weeks as
the incubation period is anywhere from 2-21 days.
2) Feed your horse Lysine (which you can get at most feed stores)
and #24 immune builder from silverliningherbs.com. ( if you have
other products you use to strengthen your horses' immune system, use
them)
3) Apply 3-5 drops of Thyme and Oregano oil to a small amount of a
mixing oil and massage or vita flex it onto all 4 of your horses'
coronet bands. I use Young living Essential oils and Liberty Natural
mostly but have found quality oils in many different parts of the
world.
4) Equine Raindrop Therapy once a week to bolster the immune system
5) Decrease stress in your horses' life.
6) I do not recommend suddenly vaccinating your horse for everything
just because of the panic. If you decide to vaccinate do only 1-2 at
a time not FLU, RHINO, WNV, EEE, VEE, WEE, TETANUS and Strangles all
at the same time. This can overwhelm the immune system and muddy the
waters. Be judicious in your vaccine protocol. Your veterinarian can
pull blood and have it analyzed for titers. I have mine analyzed at
www.hemopet.org.
7) I also recommend turmeric (curcumin) for its immunomodulating
effects. This spice is also used as a powerful antioxidant and
antimicrobial in animals and people.
IF
YOUR HORSE IS FOUND POSITIVE FOR EVH1:
1) Follow your primary veterinarians recommendations and treatment
protocol by all means and isolate your horse and any horses it may
have come in contact with!
2) Intention is everything so believe your horse will pull through!
You need to know that there is a meningeal component to this viral
mechanism. It seems to compromise the Lymphatic’s and cause a subtle
disengagement of the Sacro-iliac joint. It also often manifests with
a respiratory infection. Be sure to communicate with your primary
veterinarian but consider finding a cranial sacral therapist, an
osteopath, chiropractor or holistic practitioner who has the knowing
and is subtle enough to attend to these details.
3)
Add #25 infection fighter and #11 CNS support from Silver Lining
Herbs to your horses feed as well as Lysine.
4)
Use the Strengthen the Immune system against Viruses microcurrent
program with the LEG SAVER www.equi-stimlegsaver.com
5)
Use Thyme and Oregano oils as described above
