    Oedema under stomach and sheath

    My old boy who I had lots of issues with low protein/high liver enzymes presented with oedema around his tummy/sheath when his levels where out of synch.

    Breath holding

    I used to do this when I used to go jumping, I would frequently throw up as I was leaving the ring it was so bad. My old coach gave me the simplest remedy for it……and that is to smile!
