What's in ECR, that can Stop a Bout of Normal Colic, From KILLING A HORSE ?
This is probably a question, you started asking yourself, as you read what it can do.
In 1995 our friend Tim, a brilliant Marine Biological chemist, patented a formula in Nova Scotia, where he lived and did his research . He found a specific combination, of Kelp and Irish Sea Moss, when liquidated immediately, after being harvested from the Baltic sea, would quickly enter and soften to a pudding like consistency, impacted dead matter. We purchased Tim's patent, in 1996 as Part 1 of the 4 Part Formula used to make ECR.
The final 3 parts, created by another lab, contain Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium D, Peppermint oil, Vegetable Glycerin, a little Purified Water and Molasses for flavor and Sorbitol for sweetness. All of which are ingredients approved for human or animal consumption by the FDA.
Combined they form the last 3 parts and processes, that hydrate the bowel tissue, replace Ionic Solutions in the bowel muscles, dissipate Methane Gas and relieve pressure within the bowels. Tim's formula, is also the 1st part of our formula, which dissolves an impaction and in unison, working with not against the body,
each part uses its natural process to effectively stop, a normal bout of Colic.
An example, of what combined natural ingredients can do, is orange juice and bicarbonate of soda. Used alone, soda, when ingested reduces gas, but when added to powdered or liquid orange juice, the soda dissipates the acidity in the juice so its natural Vitamin C, can be used to calm muscle contractions.
Long ago, before RX drugs, this mixture was sold by apothecaries to individuals and healers to naturally end stomach cramps.
Horses, like humans aren't robots and don't respond in the same time frame or in the same manner to a product, like another would! Actual time responses used
for ECR, is determined by 3 years of testing it and continual feed from Clients who use it. One thing is certain, within 10-30 minutes after ingestion,
you'll hear returning or stronger bowel sounds in your horse! If you don't and their abdomen was fully distended, before you gave them ECR, please wait 10 minutes more! This level of distention usually means the abdomen contained excess gas and/or the bowel was fully impacted. There is only one method to Clinically listen for bilateral bowel sounds as a vet does. You must listen with a stethoscope on both sides of your horses abdomen, by 1st starting at the Pelvic Flexure, then slowly working across their abdomen. When you hear returning or stronger sounds, not sounds like thunder ( from gas), but a train coming down the track and a healthy gurgling, ECR is working to stop the bout so relax!
If before you gave ECR you heard sounds indicating gas, if you continue to hear them, but no healthy sounds, hear no bowel activity, sounds like air being let out of a tire or sounds only one side of the abdomen, call your vet! This is NOT A BOUT OF NORMAL COLIC!! THESE HORSES NEED IMMEDIATE MEDICAL/SURGICAL INTERVENTION!!!!! No sounds or sounds such as these, can signal a possible blockage by an obstacle or large amounts of sand, a rupture, twist, torsion or displaced bowel!
The 4 processes in ECR, return bowel sounds or Motility to the whole bowel so a horse having a normal bout of Colic or Sand Colic, will produce sounds on both sides of the abdomen, within the specified time span, unless something other, than a normal bout of Colic, is occurring!
ECR can not, help a horse with bowels containing huge amounts of sand, stones, gravel, obstacles, tumors, mesquite beans or bowels displaced/torsion
( twisted or kinked) knotted or ruptured, infected or poisoned! A sad example is a 2 month old filly, who exhibited signs of mild colic and was given ECR, because the barn manager had used it before and still does to stop bouts, in other horses! After a few minutes she began hitting her head on the stall wall! The vet was
called and after he examined her, he put her down, not from colic but lead poisoning! What the manager didn't know is for several days, while with her
mom at a trainers, she had eaten lead paint chips, in their old barn, off her stall wall, which were in part, was found during the postmortem exam of her bowels.
As her small body filled with poison, the pain went from mild to extreme abdominal, muscular and neural! Nothing after she was poisoned,
could of saved her life so the vet, put her mercifully to rest!
Please give ECR time to work! We would never, nor would any Representative or Distributorship Business Owner in the ECR Sales System, tell a Client,
not to call a vet, before or after they give ECR! That is their choice, not ours!
As a rule when you hear returning or stronger bilaterial bowel sounds, this is a positive indication ECR is working! One 1st time user, told his Rep.
before he used ECR, he put speed dial for his vet on his cell, for his stallion, who had a history of chronic colic! After ECR never failed to return his gut activity and stopped 2 bouts, he removed it and became a True Believer and client for life, which still remains, his choice!
If you have doubts, after reading the information on this website, we've asked the 53 Representative Business Owners in the ECR Sales System to provide to owners, the phone# and/or e-mail address of up to 10 True Believers. This list of 12,290 clients is made up of intelligent, informed, concerned owners, throughout
the world, who volunteered to tell other owners, how using ECR, has changed their lives! They asked us to help, in a FINAL EFFORT to give you and your horse,
the same peace from colic, they enjoy! Call 1-877-363-2688 to ask for a name or names from the list.
