Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 > Although you didn't ask, I had great success putting my horse on it. She is insulin resistant. Since with animals, you either have to do lots of expensive tests or wait until you observe a difference, the advice is to start them on 1 T per day, and add 1 T per day every 6 weeks, up to 4 T per day. The difference was AMAZING! But, it wasn't quite enough, so I started her on cinnamon also, Rou gui and Gui zhi, and that took her all the way. I still have to watch her, but she is no longer on the edge, like she was. > > > Kathy > Kathy, thats an expensive supplement for a horse. Just wanted to say I've had very good luck using Thorvin Kelp as a cure-all for animals. It is certified organic and from iceland. Animals seem much more resilient than humans to me and they usually just need some nutrition that is lacking in the normal feed of alfalfa or whatnot. Good Kelp will usually fill the need and they will heal quickly. I get the kelp drop-shipped from azurestandard.com for like $1 a pound (in 50# bags) and my goats absolutely love it and they really thrive on it. They gobble it down like candy. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I don't think it is that expensive. But, yep, she was on kelp, too for the thyroid component of insulin resistance. No alfalfa though! Just grass hay and 1 cup per day of timothy hay pellets. Back to kelp, an equal mix of kelp, DE, and salt is great to free choice cows on, dairy or beef. I'm told laying chickens produce better in the extremes, heat and cold, when they get kelp, too. You're right, its great for almost all animals.
