You should think carefully, using the information given on this thread and other threads, about whether you can manage to take the personal responsibility and provide the very detailed level of care that a barefoot approach to curing your horse's sick body will need (it's not just his feet of course, it started in his gut) and if you can, then follow all the leads you have been given, read the books, and find someone who has experience of barefoot rehab of acute laminitis to help you get through this and if you can't, you should leave the responsibility with your farrier and vet to tell you what to do, which is psychologically by far the easier option.
But not all laminitis starts in the gut does it?
What about concussion, from hard ground, and stress from foaling, or injury, these can all bring on laminitis, or are you saying that all these start from the gut as well ?
