The Metabolic Syndrome Progression Curve
Dr. Thomas’s new model of the metabolic syndrome in horses is presented with clarity and excitement. He describes a predictable “time course” beginning with the onset of Insulin Resistance that then advances and follows a sequence of measurable parameters with accompanying consequences such as laminitis and other health problems whose risk increases with the progression.
The Equine Immune System: Key to Health
Dr. Joseph Thomas, Ph.D. clearly describes the elegance and complexity of the horse’s immune system so everyone can fully understand and appreciate why it is an essential key to health. Information includes the effects of domestication, vaccinations and Equine Metabolic Syndrome.
This show is an absolute MUST HEAR for any horse caretaker. Dr. Thomas explains how metabolic issues happen to horses and how that plays into laminitis. Although invaluable for those who have "Easy Keepers", this model of diabetes is a breakthrough in laminitis research and will benefit everyone. |
