ARC Equine Unit

Thanks :) that may be why its not mentioned I am thinking about going halves with a friend so will contact them to see if it can also work on ligaments inside the hoof and if so they may well get another sale :)
 
To be totally transparent, I made a mistake in the design of the Long Back Pad, in that I anticipated ( wrongly ) good adhesion between the carbon/rubber electrodes within the pad, and the conductive/adhesive gel on the horse. As soon as the deficiency was recognised I withdrew all Long Back Pads, and went back to the drawing board. The principle of the LBP has now been incorporated within a rug, the carbon rubber electrodes have been replaced by bespoke sticky electrodes which attach by way of press studs, and I have had a scientist develop my own conductive gel, and conductive / adhesive gel. The ingredients of both comply with all equine and veterinary regulations and requirements, and are totally water soluble. Rugs have been trialed for the last 4 weeks by Francis Whittington, and we have arranged to meet later this week for me to get his ( and Sharon's !) feedback, and constructive criticism. As soon as the final decisions have been made, and rugs manufactured, they will be included within " the package". All previous purchasers will be forwarded a rug, free of any charge.
This technology works systemically, at cellular level, throughout the body, including for any problem within the hoof
 
Well you could not get any more transparent than that :) Many thanks for the honesty and clarification I will pass the info on and will hopefully get an order in soon.
 
Hi Kezimac. This technology is very effective at "enabling" total relaxation, both physically ( including muscle spasms ) and psychologically ( anxiety, behavioural problems ). The unit has been successfully used a number of times on horses with kissing spine. Ian
 
I had sciatica and knee pain since May. Physio & chiropractor didn't help. Had been on co- codamol & volte roll since May. Since using the ARC unit for the last 3 weeks both the knee pain & sciatica have gone.
 
Ours arrived yesterday and we watched the instruction DVD which I thought was very clear and easy to follow. I also phoned Ian who was great and gave more advice and guidance, and tonight we've put it on our horse for her first treatment.
 
May I ask those using this for human use if they can use it whilst lying in bed? And does it have to be used on a regular basis? Arthritic spine for me alas, and constant pain and muscle spasm; so use at night could mean a pain-free start to the day maybe; miraculous!! now, where's my Christams list?......

Yes, I sleep with it on.
 
I would assume you can. I know we're using it on our horse but when I realised it should be on for 6 hours I panicked that none of use would be able to stand around at our yard for that long, but when I mentioned this concern to Ian he suggested putting it on at night and leaving as the unit will automatically turn itself off once the programme is finished - I'm sure it would be the same on a human - if in doubt I'd contact Ian.
 
I left mine on my horse by accident last night, and by accident i mean i'd rather take it off him at night because he's a hooligan and is often seen hooning around his box and he loves to roll and i was thinking he'd manage to unattach himself and/or break it!

Found him this morning with his bandages in place and the unit was fine. I've got mine on a hind leg below the hock, use normal padding for a stable bandage and have the unit in its leather case between my overlap area of gamgee so its got protection on both sides and then bandage over the top. It had slipped slightly underneath and the wire had come out, however he had it on all evening and my guess is that he dislodged it rolling or whilst getting up and down in the stable overnight. I've only had it on 3 days and its very much trial and error i think to get the optimum set up on your horse and keeping it attached, having said that im really hoping its working its magic on my boy!
 
Last night was our first night of treatment with the top strap above the suspensory - we put some black tape round the top strap (just for extra security) and bandaged over the rest.

Daughter went to check his morning and although the top strap had slipped slightly, the rest of the unit was still in place and protected by the bandage. I think we'll just tighten the top strap slightly (not too tight as Ian stressed). Our horse is on 6 hour programme at the moment and I think we're going to keep doing it overnight - at least she's quiet and then we can check and remove first thing in the morning.
 
OK I really don't care that the product designer is on here- please don't pull this thread!

Ian,

Can you tell me how your product would be used on this.

I am very very interested in purchasing! Just a general outline of how I would use it. PM me if you prefer.
 
Arthritic joints, and associated pain, respond very well to this technology, no matter what the animal.
In order to create an electrical circuit there must be a connection between the electrodes and the skin of an animal. This is achieved by using conductive gel ( supplied ), rubbed well into the hair,and through to the skin.
Provided that the hair is not too long clipping is not necessary,

Hi Pebblemania. Wounds, whether traumatic or post operative, respond very rapidly, and very well to this stimulation.Full closure is achieved in a fraction of the normal time, with an absence, or very minimal scar tissue, and no white hair.
The apparent existing scars above the wound will also substantially disappear.
Ian

Yes, Francis W told me they use it on their (very old) boxer dog and have seen an improvement.
I think that as long as the coat isn't really really dense it's fine, if it is then just clip v small patches maybe?

Thanks for the replies.

It's my parents' dog - she's a Weimeraner so should be OK:) Just need to persuade them to fork out the cash now.
 
Pebble101, if they aren't already, tell them to put her on Vetvits too, the little FlexiJoints tablets, they are a thing of wonder, my oldest JRT has 2 a day (stations herself by the cupboard morning and evening to remind me, thinks they're treats!) and she's a different dog since starting on them. Can't recommend highly enough.
 
just a further bit of interesting info: I spoke to my cousin yesterday, he's an above-knee amputee and has the most horrific 'phantom pains' in the missing limb. He lives on morphine and a concoction of painkillers for other injuries (spine, head) but says the phantom pains are the WORST to endure by far. A couple of months ago he had a 13 hour jag of them, they would not stop. Local 'pain clinic' didn't come up with anything that helped either...
He tried an ArcEquine after Ian had mentioned to me that he'd had success with 'phantom pains' in amputees. My cousin, obviously, was willing to try anything that might help...
Yesterday he reported that it definitely improved things considerably, lessened the pain. He had to stop using it as his skin reacted to the gel (supplied with ArcEquine but intended for horses I guess?!?!) and blistered (not a problem I've had, or my horses have had, fwiw), so I've said he should use another gel (Aloe Vera gel, or KY Jelly, or even spit) instead, so he's going to start using it again.
Very very good sign that it had a significant effect though...
