HEAVY METALS AND HORSES

Mercedes Colburn, PhD.

Like most of you my horses have been my love and passion for most of my life. My career choice of some 30 years has been helping people make good alternative choices in their health care. Most of your alternative healers have been very aware of heavy metals and the devastating effects they have on the human body. I would like to share with you what these toxins are doing to your horse. I use iridology with all my clients especially my equine clients. lridology is a tool for analyzing the structure of the eye to scientifically and systematically interpret the eye structure to reveal a 'blue print' of the body. My friend, and veterinarian, Doctor Dena Eckerdt and I developed the first accurate and proven equine iridology grid. This grid has been an exceptional tool for veterinarians and has been used by people all over the world to improve and expand the life of their horses.

While finishing my studies in London I became even more aware of how our environment has been under attack for years by toxic heavy metal contamination. This pollution is in our air, food and water chain and has become a silent killer and debilitating to our horses. The heavy metals that I am speaking of for our horses are arsenic (organic and inorganic, used as pesticides and weed kill ers in the pastures and nearby agriculture), mercury contaminated water, lead (in our water) and aluminum (large containers used in the fields to hold water for the horses), up of trillions of cells. These cells make up the horses tissue, the tissues make up the organs and the organs make up the systems. These systems are in charge of your horses ability to breath (respiratory system), your horses legs and spinal area (structural system) and so forth.

UNTIL WE CLEAR THE TOXIC METALS

I am of clear understanding that toxic metals are the #1 barrier to your horses health. These toxins poison his nervous system along with the immune and glandular system. Until we clear the way through the toxic metals, the horse will not be able to absorb the nutrients needed for healing and longevity.

I would like to tell about three different horses that have been affected by heavy metals in their system. The first belongs to my friend, and fellow Equine Iridologist, Jennifer Burke. She is one of the top barrel racing competitors in this area and has had trouble with one of her horses right back leg since she bought him. He has been too nervous to stand for iridology pictures so we have been without film to understand what was happening on his right side.

Jennifer saw the great affects of doing heavy metal cleanses on herself and her family and she decided to put Danger on a heavy metal cleanse. So far this cleanse has helped his nervous system to calm down and we are now able to get photographs of his eye. Now we can see where the problem is and Jennifer is in the process of correcting it.

The next horse is my horse Tommy. Tommy was given to us because of Debilitating hoof problems. “no hoof-no horse.” We worked (nutritionally) with Tommy for several months. But until we were able to clear the heavy metals in his body, his hooves were not repairing.

We kept his nutrition first in our thoughts and had been using the best Ferrier in the county, but still, his hooves were breaking and pealing. After putting Tommy on a heavy metal cleanse he was able to absorb the nutrients and his feet are looking great!! He is now back to work teaching young children how to ride. What a blessing he is.

The last horse that I would like to tell you about is Caddyshack. Caddy has it heart as big as Texas but unfortunately has been diagnosed, by one of our local veterinarians, as having 'equine herpes'. There is no cure for this disease for horses or humans. My human clients, that have been struggling with this disease, has been able to avoid ‘breakouts’ of exhaustion, depression and fatigue since working to diminish heavy metals. Caddy is on a program now to get rid of heavy metals in her system. After a few short months, Caddy is getting her energy and beautiful disposition back. Her coat looks great and she looks very happy again.

In conclusion, 'heavy metal contamination' affects us all. Horses, dogs, cats and HUMAN.
