I think the lack of replies sort of says it all. Having insider info, I would leave well alone.

I have been using holistic worming for a while now. And any time I have a fecal done on my horse its always negative.

This is the product that I use.

I do three months on and three months off. But I do not have my horse on pasture and do not feed him hay directly on the ground. If I did have him on pasture, I would do two months on, two months off.

Oh dear. After I posted this I realized I was thinking homeopathic, not holistic!

Oh well, its still a good worming system, for those that go homeopathic like I do

I can second Silver Lining Worm Foe, I use it for the first 10 days each month and all fecal samples since using it have been negative. My horse used to have problems with ulcers and seemed to show symptoms after trad worming which is why I changed.

I suppose my first point of call is a worm count, which we are due now.

Holistic means the whole approach, and not specifically the worming. It means the whole routine and care of the horse in a 'natural' way.
