What is the best treatment for Laminitis in a horse?

I have a Tennessee walker who has had laminitis forever. He didn’t work well with the medication the vet gave him so I am looking for something more natural. He still has some great years ahead of him, he isn’t the right age to be put to pasture.

Hello Paige,

Laminitis refers to the inflammation of the lamina, the cartilage within a joint. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the natural remedies that nature, in its divine wisdom, has provided for us to combat such ailments.

I recall, two decades ago, my superior, Dr. Howard Talbot, requested that I develop a formula to alleviate back pain. The result of that endeavor has not only brought him considerable financial success but also propelled Bio-Medicals to the forefront in Australia.

With the passage of time, my knowledge and expertise have only expanded, making your inquiry timely. There were numerous additional elements I wished to incorporate into the formula, but Dr. Talbot, being the headstrong individual he is, opted otherwise. Nonetheless, he is now prosperous and content.

Back in 1975, I scored an impressive 94% on my assignment in The Literature of Science, which involved library research and analysis of scientific papers. Nowadays, we have the convenience of Google Search or AI to assist us in our research.
