Mandy, Thank you so much for your quick reply. I just removed the .docx test results and uploaded as .doc. I believe you can open them now. My confusion is why Vet (and BO) don't think my horse

If one goal of the study is to determine if an oral Karo challenge is more sensitive at picking up IR than a fasting insulin and glucose there's not much doubt as to how that will turn out. Many

Can someone tell me how much salt and flax to give a 300 lb pony on the emergency diet?   I've been guessing and giving her 1/2 tsp. salt and 2 tsp. flax (before grinding) am and pm on her

Here's another one, same group, that concluded 18% starch was appropriate for horses with metabolic issues because insulin and glucose responses were lower than with 28%

Hi Judy, Sorry that your boy has foundered but with your determination he will certainly come around. Just to add to Susan's welcome and intro to you, Morgan's are one of the poster children for IR.

Hi Linda, Welcome to the group. You're about to enter a new chapter on equine nutrition and management. You'll watch Roo improve daily with the protocol that has been designed by Dr. Kellon. The

Hi Rachel, Organic and pure doesn't mean there are no contaminents. Arsenic is organic and pure and is many times found in sea salt but not something I would want to be ingesting. The reason to use
