Whats the best arthiritus medicine for my horse. Vet Suggested MSM or glucosamine?

Question

Anything natural or at least what is the easiest on their stomachs?

Answer 1

This product works great for humans who suffer from joint pain.  It is just juice with plant derived glucosamine so why wouldn't it also work for a horse?

Answer 2

yes, I read this book a while back and the author treated animals and people and used apple cider vinegar (raw is best) in the water and over the hay for cattle with phenomenal results (for people as well),

http://www.amazon.com/Arthritis-Folk-Med...

However, if you discontinue the treatment the pain will come back.  This also makes people and animal grow, and many of the cows became prize winners and also the butcher could tell the meat was much more tender and the bones harder showing the calcium was going to the bones and not the joints and blood vessels.

It would work the same for horses.  Use Clark's rule to calculate the dose..go by the animal's weight.

the usual dose for a person is 2 tbs in water three or four times a day, so figure out how much a horse dose would be by using Clark's rule.

animals and children usually really love the sour taste and cows eat the dirt down inches when the barrel is spilled they crave it so much.

I think it works quickly too unlike other things.

for people and animals, only ingest raw apple cider vinegar (use organic) for sure..a brand like braggs or spectrum for instance that has the mother in it and I think this is what Jarvis used on the cows.  

I recommend the book highly and it is not expensive on amazon or ebay.  I got it through inter-library loan for free.

I then decided to goggle it and here is more info

Answer 3

Whatever you give your horse or do, don't forget to give him Probiotic supplements...It cures all kinds of illnesses..

Answer 4

MicroLactin supplementation is superior to glucosamine, but you can give both, they should work synergistically.

MSM is good, especially when taken with chondroitin.

Also consider buying a PERL, www.resonantlight.com, they have a newsletter on that website detailing the therapeutic effects of Rife Technology on Animals, like horses, as the FDA have put so much pressure on this company they cannot even use testomonies from humans, and cannot even explain what the machin does, it only says 'may control pathogens'. Rife High Tone Frequency machines work great for arthritis, check out rifeforum.com, www.rife.de, Yahoo Rife Group{theres a video on there showing how Rife technology has been copied, for artritis, its called 'High Tone Therapy'.

Although its maker, claims it works for more than just arthitis, but his keeping that information under wraps.

Also Omega 3 3000mg+, {not sure the dose for a horse, ask your vet}, this inhibits the COX-2 Inflammatory response which is rife in arthitis. Strictly, Nordic Naturals brand or Carlson's brand, they are pharmaceutical grade, and need to be refrigerated, otherwise they are at risk of becoming rancid and oxidising, which renders the omega 3 useless, and can be bad for health.

Hope this helps.
