Anyone heard of this Farrier? He is American with apparently a new 'cure' for Navicular disease - This is a small excerpt from a Navicular group.

Now let's start with a few common and universally accepted facts about Navicular Disease. We know that it is not limited to a particular conformation...meaning both long pastern and short pastern horses are susceptible to the pathology. We know that the skeletal system rejuvenates itself every 6 years...meaning old cells die off and are replaced with new cells. We know the problem can be managed mechanically...meaning therapeutic shoeing.
Most treatments of this pathology is more consistent with pain management treatments. There are a few that are not...I will address each of those specifically.
Stem cell. Stem cell has proven itself to be very effective in software and connective tissue, but not effective in bone.
Osphos is an attempt at rebuilding bone. The draw back is it tends to leach from other bone. The results are dependent upon long term use and with this long term use we are finding a wearing of bone in other parts of the skeletal system...primarily in the ribs which are fracture with very little stress.
So the logical question is why is the bone failing to regenerate itself. Ed Jessup found it is the bodies response to a parasite stemming from the strongyle family. So the bodies ability to process and deal with natural parasites seems to be the genetic link.
I know some people are doing well with traditional treatment, but I would offer it is most likely because the farrier is managing it well with mechanics. The draw back is the malady still exist and while short term success may be present...when the source of the problem is not addressed the pathology naturally advances to a point that can no longer be managed by the best of farriers. That is just the way it is.
Our treatment has survived the best of true scrutiny. The treatment is patented US patent US6280741 B1. We do apologize that it is difficult to research, but bear in mind this treatment was developed before the Internet and the invention of digital x-ray machines. We are trying the best we can to educate potential client of the process.
In this process the first order of business is to stabilize the mineral content of the horse. When that is achieved we start a series of injections that have 2 functions...targeting the parasites and build osteophites (growing bone). After a series of 6 injections the horse undergoes physical rehabilitation much like a person that has broken a bone and healed with new bone. This is important because if the horse goes back to work at the same intensity as a horse that has been sound the health of the new bone is at risk of injury.
Now that is a very short version of what this treatment is about. We are willing to answer any questions that is relevant to Navicular Disease. We will not respond to comments not pertaining to educating people on the pathology of this disease. Our credentials have been properly address in the previous debacle on this issue.
Now let's see where this goes.
