Winner - 5 pounds of KARBO COMBO^TM

January 25, 2009

Super Size Me, who was aptly named after being treated with Karbo Combo, (barn name Irish) was purchased in 1/05 and 30 days after a clear vetting he came out of the stall crippled from the hind and needed to be forced to walk. Assumed it was EPM, however, he never responded to ANY known conventional treatments for it. I thought it was lymes but the vet thought not, he assumed it was herpes as that was when it first broke out in PA. Irish went to Midatlantic Equine twice with no results. He started appearing increasingly neurologic, not knowing where his feet where and spot sweating. He then became mysteriously better, but only for transient periods and could not stay sound long-term in work.

During all this he was getting 3 square meals a day and loosing weight and muscle fast. I took him out of training and brought him to my barn where he could live out 24/7 on excellent pasture....where even the most aged equine flourished .....except for him. It took 20 minutes to walk him 25 yards from the pasture to the barn and with multiple breaks in between, he could not walk straight up or down hills nor back up & appeared increasingly neurologic again. I couldn't take him in a trailer to a specialist as he couldn't even turn on the crossties without his knees buckling. He had not been able to track up correctly for 8 months and could not be lunged. It was suggested to me to pull his shoes, take him back to basics on 24/7 turnout and if in a month he didn't respond, maybe the new vet would treat him with Doxcycline. He began to have trouble getting up after he rolled and I knew I was faced with a quality of life issue and have to make a tough decision soon. He coincidentally got an abscess underneath a scrape on his hock and as soon as he was treated with 15 days of antibiotics he went 95% sound? Looks like my lymes disease theory was right, so I convinced the vet to give me enough Doxycycline to treat him for 2 months. He went 99% sound but was still looking anorexic and would have periods of lameness that no flex test or nerve blocking could pinpoint.

I met a homeopath out hunting, that while treating him with Equine TouchT suggested that I immediately detox him with Karbo Combo. I already was skeptical of homeopathy and the ETT, I thought it's this or euthanization, at least I can say that I tried everything and sleep at night. After not even a full month of using Karbo Combo, he blossomed! He kept the weight on, despite seasonal changes, his feet improved, his coat & mane improved (he never got a winter coat and his mane needed a relaxer) and he went SOUND! I am forever indebted to that homeopath and certified ETT practitioner for turning me on to Karbo Combo, Irish has turned into an AMAZING horse and I am blessed to have him. He went from not being able to step over a cavaletti w/o stopping/tripping or jump a small log without stopping and falling to rocking down to a 4ft fence no problem as evidenced in the last photo. After being treated with Karbo Combo for a year regularly, I took him to a local ex-Olympian where he tackled 3'6" oxers with 3' spreads, and the professional was extremely pleased with his performance (a man a few words and even fewer compliments) and couldn't believe my prior story. Nor that he was bought from toothless, redneck horse dealer, literally, who could barely count the money I brought him as he was performing at the level of the 7 figure horses around him. He has has gone on to successfully show and foxhunt with Riverhills Foxhounds in Southeastern PA and is the gentlest giant with the most fabulous movement anyone could ask for. He is the barn favorite, the favorite period, everywhere he goes. Karbo Combo literally made the difference between life and death, THANK YOU.

Sincerely,

I learned about Karbo Combo from an article that was written by a vet discussing the things that it worked on. I have had a horse that for over 2 years he has shaken his head and progressively gotten worse. At the end, he was shaking it so bad that if you were riding him, you felt like he might flip. The horse lost all ability to focus. He was a gift to my daughter from her grandfather. All of his brothers have been nice barrel horses. We didn't want to give up on him.

We had done the equine dentist treatment, the chiropractor, changed bits and headstalls. We contacted vets and discussed the symptoms. They had not ever heard of a problem like this. We finally had X-rays taken of his ears. They showed inflammation around the base of the ear. This really confused the vets.

I received the article about Karbo Combo and called the veterinarian listed in the article. He suggested that the ear problems could be caused by protozoa that were eating the lining around the nerves and they were essentially exposed. This was causing the inflammation.

We fed it for two weeks and began seeing an improvement. My husband could even tell when he was watching the horse as I rode him that he was traveling more comfortably and not shaking his head. It has been an absolute miracle.

We have had him on it 10 weeks now. He is now running 2D barrel times against some of Texas toughest competition and does not shake his head at all. Karbo Combo saved this horse from being sold in a weekly auction. We were about to give up. I am so excited and have told others about this product. It has so much merit. Thanks for selling such a great product. I am a believer.

Sincerely yours,
