We discussed at length, how many of the thousands of written thank you notes, letters, e-mails and ECR endorsements we would use on our 1st website. We carefully selected from the thousands we had, very specially written and interesting content testimonials and endorsements dated from 1999-2008. We allowed these clients and 2 vets 6 pages and posted the whole letter, note or e-mail they sent. The response was less than respectable to these kind souls, who only wanted to tell their story about ECR or to the vets, who stuck out their neck to create change!
What they received for their kindness, was ridicule by negative, uninformed stupid owners on forums, who called their testimonials and endorsements fake!! If you had poured out your heart, just to help save other owners horses, would you like being insulted? Well would you?
These clients asked us not to put their Testimonials on this new website. We did get permission from the 2 vets, to re-post their Endorsements and 1 client to re-post their Testimonial so you can thank the loss of the other 5 pages of client Testimonials, on
the ridiculous owners, who insulted them!
We believe these hypocritical people may indeed be horse owners, but they don't think, or at least we hope they don't think,like you do!
They're stuck in the mud, will not open their minds nor crawl out of their colic box, they've encased themselves in!
That's why, if they even believed these Testimonials and Endorsements were real, they'd never believe what they wrote about ECR is true!
Maybe God willing, they'll Change how they believe, before a Normal Bout of Colic, Kills their poor innocent horse!
Savvy, informed Owners like you, will call a Representative Business Owner Toll Free @ 1-877-363-2688 and after you witness ECR stop a bout, become a True Believer, share your story, refer another owner and as it does each day,being this World Wide Circle of Life again!
The 1st letter was written in 2005 by Dr. Carol, who holds credentials as a DVM. EP. At the time it was written, she worked for the owners of a Large Equine Clinic in Utah. We were thrilled beyond belief to receive it, for she gave ECR a firm pat on the back and acknowledged, we were right about Genetics, being a link to some chronic cases of Impaction Colic. In 2006, she married a DVM, EP and moved to Canada, opened a clinic and continues to use ECR to end Normal Bouts of Colic.
The next, is an e-mail written by a BVM. BVS. BVMsc. EP. in 2006, after carefully considering her client's request to endorse ECR.
Last, is a letter from her clients, Micha and Celeste. Their letter and the vet's impressive endorsement of ECR, was forwarded to us in 2006, by their Distributor in England. At the request of all 4 Clients and to protect, their security and privacy, we've removed their last names and the names of both clinics, where the doctors worked.
My name is Dr. Carol and I'm a licensed DVM,EP.
The owner, of the clinic where I work, buy your medicine from a distributor and we use it to successfully treat patients, presenting with simple colic at the clinic and on a farm call. We're located in the heart of horse country so as a 24 HR clinic, taking care of over 5,000 horses a year, with only 6 Vets, 15 Assistants and 2 mobiles, I hardly have time to eat, thus keeping up with news, is hard.
I want to discuss the genetic information, posted on your web site and declare this was NEWS TO ME, since you assume every Vet, already knows it!
I read both extensive articles on Autosomal Recessive genes and Mitochondrial DNA research.
These 2 research studies could as you suggest, be a genetic link to impactions as a viable possibility, in labeling certain forms of colic.
In simple terms, while reading both articles 2 cases of un-related mares, 11 years apart, that died from a ruptured bowel, came to mind.
I discovered these cases 7 years ago, while studying for my EP. In each case the mare was euthanized, an exam was performed postmortem and notes from each exam, revealed each mare had impacted bowels and a similar abnormality of the Longitudinal Muscle layer within the Coli Wall, had caused a rupture.
These cases pointed to the article on Mitochondrial DNA Mutations, like a beacon!
This of course meant in theory these mares, became symptomatic of an inherited Mitochondrial DNA Mutation, formed an impaction at the site where the muscle had ceased motility, ingesta built up behind it and the bowel ruptured. This remains a theory, for the evidence in each case, is long gone.
Still, a genetic link to some impactions as well as ruptures may put this type of Genetic Mutation as a cause for Colic, eventually in the game!
The death of these 2 mares, after reading your articles, are no longer an enigma. It's my belief as it is yours, that soon our one theory, may someday become a proven fact!

This year we purchased a beautiful black Arabian Mare, that became an extended member of our family.
We took 2 weeks to decide on the perfect name for her, but finally named her Abie.
Even as kids, both me and my husband Micha, have always loved and wanted a horse!
Only 3 months after we bought Abie, he bought an Arabian Stallion and called him Feather, since he was white as one and light as one, in his gait. Together the 4 of us went on rides and had great fun!
Then one dark morning I found Abie in her stall looking like death! She was sweating and panic was written all over her sweet face.
I called our vet and friend, Marsha. She said she was about 2 miles away on another call, asked about Abie's condition and she said had colic
and told me to keep her walking, till she got there. I did just that, but she seemed so depressed and tight in her gait so I was frozen with fear
for her! Marsha arrived and gave her a complete exam then reached in her bag and brought out a bottle of medicine and a huge syringe.
She said Abie has a serious Impaction, then asked us to help her steady her head. She filled the syringe twice and released it behind her tongue.
We stood around for about 30 minutes talking about what may of caused the impaction, when Abie started to pass gas.
Marsha checked her bowel sounds, then smiled. Abie started passing manure that was like pudding, then each time she passed more
gas the manure looked more normal. About 1 hour later, Marsha handed me a bottle of pain medicine, just in case Abie needed it later,
said to call her if Abie had any further problems, but we never used the medicine or needed to call her.
As I walked with Marsha to her truck, I asked her what she gave Abie and she said Equine Colic Relief. She gave me the web site for her
distributor and I went there and bought 2 bottles for my emergency kit. Then sat down and wrote your company this email and sent it to you
by way of my distributor. Thank you for creating this wonderful medicine and thank you for my Abie's life.
We will continue to use your medicine for colic, for as long as we own horses.
Celeste and Micha, Abie and Feather
My name is Marsha, I hold Certificates as BVM. BVS. BVMsc. EP.
I opened in 2001, a equine surgery in West England.
After using, Equine Colic Relief to treat an impaction colic in 7 patients, I decided to email you this note and endorse your medicine.
I first encountered information about it in December/ 2005, through a brochure sent to my home by a Distributor. I was impressed with the science and research behind its development. I ordered 15 bottles in January/2006 for my surgery, but had to wait a month for them, because of a back-order situation.
I was one of 7, BVM. EP's selected this year by the Queens Derby Commission to attend the entries.
From Jan-to Oct, with the derby, horse Shows and regular calls, I have cared for patients, at either my surgery or on farms who presented with 28 impactions, 2 gas and 1 spasmodic abdominal colic. From Jan-Feb, before I received my order, I lost 10 impaction patients, 4 passed away during surgery and 6 were euthanized on their farms. I returned the 2 gas, the 1 spasmodic and 6 light impaction patients to normal health using conventional treatments. I emphatically, professionally believe, the 7 patients I treated from Feb-Oct, that presented with pelvic flexure impactions, including Abie, the mare of my client and friend, Celeste, would of died without your medicine!
As a equine practitioner, being open to new ideas in both Equine Medical Sciences and the use of natural, herbal and homeopathic products, is how I better serve my patients.
If the tried methods to treat colic, taught to me as a student, were always true, all my patients would live!
Revolutionary frontiers to expand knowledge, are never opened by closed off practitioners, hemmed in by accepted protocols and procedures! That requires creative, innovative and sensible thinking! That is why as a BVM and EP as well as a visionary, I chose to purchase your medicine and will continue to use it to treat my normal colic patients, provide it to my clients and spread the news of it's virtues to my esteem colleges, whenever the chance to do so, presents it's self.
