Dear Sharone, 
 
You may remember that I wrote to you about one month ago about adopting a paralyzed dachshund, approximately 4 months old, found abandoned in a parking lot. I asked a lot of questions about your product, Rapid Response. Thank you for your quick response. I wanted to give you an update. 
 
It's been about 4 weeks since I adopted Mitzi. Since then, she has made amazing progress. 
 
When I first adopted her, Mitzi could not walk. She could stand very unsteadily for about 2 seconds. I brought her home, but didn't try your product for about 10 days. I wanted to wean her off some of her other medications, Rimadyl, prednisone, and something for upset stomachs, cimetadine. As my vet and I started to wean her off these medications, we started her on the Rapid Response with very good results. 
 
In the past, Mitzi would start to be wean off the medications, but would have a relapse, leaving her unable to walk and in pain again. So the vet would up the medication, keep her on it for a while, and then try another weaning process. It seemed to always end up the same, with Mitzi relapsing to paralysis and pain. 
In addition, Mitzi would yelp in pain while defecating. Most of this happened prior to my adopting her, but I did hear her history, and this caused me some concern in adopting her. I felt it wasn't fair for a dog to live a life of pain unless I was sure something could help. It was at that time I heard of your product and decided to give it a try. The vet was more confident than I, and felt that she would walk again in time, with a prognosis of several months on medication, therapy, and complete crate rest. 
 
Mitzi is now using Rapid Response for about 2 1/2 weeks. She is off pain killers, cimetadine, and still takes 5 mg of prednisone a day, which I hope will be finished very shortly. When I started giving Mitzi Rapid Response, she could walk about 3 or 4 steps. Now, Mitzi is completely mobile. She takes 2 walks a day, about 15 to 20 minutes each. She chases my cat, runs after my other dog, plays with toys, is completely housebroken, has no pain while defecating, and is basically a fun little puppy with lots of zest and joy. At one unbelievable moment, I dropped a treat on the floor. Mitzi beat out my other dog, who is very active, to get the treat. At that point, I knew that Mitzi would be fine. 
 
In essence, your product saved Mitzi's life. No one would adopt a paralyzed dog with the possibility of a long term care and uncertain future. Many people thought that I was even a little nuts on taking such a responsibility, but I am one for giving the sad cases an extra chance. But with Rapid Response, it looks like Mitzi will be living a long and active life, just like all puppies should. 
 
I have given your information out to various people here at Penn who own horses, have dogs with problems, my vet, as well as an holistic vet who practices acupuncture in the area. I plan to forward this to the New Bolton Center and Dr. Richardson in hopes that they would consider this for Barbaro. I haven't heard his prognosis lately, but I hope this will help. 
 
Thank you again for all that you have done. I hope to order some maintenance product shortly. We will see what the vet thinks after a visit this weekend. He is already amazed at her progress.

12-05  Coffin Bone

Arlington story from Julie Turcotte, French Canadian

 2003, October 21, I bought the horse of my dream, a 2½ years old warmblood with an incredible hunter potential. 2004 February 01, I was almost ready to break him but he had a really bad accident in a field. X-ray revealed severe articular coffin bone fracture. We also discovered a huge cyst on the articulation with that same X-ray of the coffin bone. In fact, my vet says he never saw such a huge articular cyst in his 20 years of practice. Since he was young, the vet gave him 30% chance  recovering from his fracture. 6 months minimum in the stall to heal the fracture before walking . Even with a full recovery, arthritis on the articulation can set in 6 months to a year, cannot predict. The cyst was another problem, there was absolutely no way to remove or cure it… It may also cause arthritis in the joint.  

I will always remember what the vet told me:” Don’t you think it’s a lot of problem in  one leg… it’s really nice of you to give him a chance…just before I started crying he added:  there are always those cases that make veterinarians lie…” I didn’t have the heart to put Arlington down, so I decided to wait a little bit till first follow up X-ray at 3 months to take decision. I searched on the web everywhere about similar case and what would I do to get my horse in that 30% who recovered. 

 Years ago I had used some Norfields Magnetic bandages with great results; I did ordered some magnetic shoe from Norfield... they referred me to Amerdon and Rapid Response. I read all testimony on the web site… it was too good to be true!!! Some case had cyst disappeared, fracture recovering… if the product is doing half of what they said, my horse may be able to get operational, at least for trail for couple of years. I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel!!!  My boyfriend tried to discouraged me, it was very expensive to get Rapid Response to Canada. What did I had to lose???? Let’s try it until we get the first X-ray result after 3 months, if it’s doing bad… I will put Arlington down… if it is just normal recovering, I will stop using rapid response and wait, if it’s a miracle recovering I will keep on going with Rapid Response.  

Since Arlington was so young and was eating all bandages, it was very difficult to wrap the feet with RR, Sharone proposed to give some Isoxuprine instead of wrapping. Isoxuprine accelerate blood circulation in the feet thus getting more Rapid Response down into the feet in the blood. I asked my vet to prescribe some Isoxuprine, I was surprised he accepted, he was very stiff about all that Amerdon story at first. In fact my vet find out it was a very good idea, and prescribed Isoxuprine to other similar case. Arlington received 6 oz of  Rapid Response T  per day with some Isoxuprine for that period and wear his magnetic shoe 1 to 2 hour every day.

2004, May 01, 3 months after the accident, 7 weeks after starting using rapid response, vet took some X-ray. Amazing result, fracture was 75% healed. Vet decided to change the plan and asked me to start walking Arlington 5 minutes 3 to 5 times a week for the next 2 months. No sign of lameness when he was walking, we decrease Rapid Response to 4 oz per day and keep on going with isoxuprine and magnetic shoe 1 hour per day.

2004, july 04, 5 months after the accident, vet took some X-ray. Amazing result again, Fracture was 95% healed and cyst was completely gone. Vet didn’t have any explanation about the cyst disappeared and told me to forget all about the cyst… there is no more cyst to worried about.  I started increased walking time, I added gradually 5 minutes per 2 week until I hit 30 minutes. We kept magnetic shoe 1 hour per day, Rapid response at 4 oz per day with isoxuprine for that period.

2004, September 06, 7 months after the accident, vet took some X-ray. There is no way to see any trace of the fracture and cyst on the X-ray. I had permission to start trotting, no sign of lameness I increased gradually trotting time and start cantering to finally break my horse 2004 November 1. We decreased rapid response to 2 oz and stop isoxuprine, but keep on going with the magnetic shoe. Still no sign of lameness.

2005, November 03, Arlington is now 4 and 1/2 years old, I’ve been riding him for the past year, he’s jumping once a week(2 feet) since last May and he is perfectly sound. He still receives 2 oz per day of Rapid Response, 3 weeks per month, but he doesn’t wear his magnetic shoe anymore. I’m waiting until he is 5 years old to increase work and higher jump, nothing to do with the fracture.

Everyday I just can’t believe that incredible story, I have the best hunter in my 20 years of career, he will make his first show season next year. The day I decided to give him a chance, I thought in the best case, I would do trail for 1 or 2 years with a lame horse before putting him down to end his pain. What an amazing surprise, I’m confident he will last for many years with a normal hunter training if I keep him on maintenance dosage of Rapid Response, so far there is no doubt, it worked better than I expected.

 Remember, there are always those cases that make vet lies…Arlington is one of those… Too bad for the vet, Rapid Response make him lies…

 A very special thank to Debra and Sharone, who sent me many email during those 9 months to follow up and help me with the dosage. In fact Amerdon people were more concern and helpful than my own vet about my horse. 

Thank you to Rapid Response to give me back my horse!

If you go into the shopping cart and select Rapid Response on the top you can page down a brief description between the different Rapid Responses.  Rapid Response F is my best formula and recommended for fractures, ringbone, navicular and all other injuries.  It is recommended for race horses on a maintenance basis to promote soundness and help with other problems.  The usual dose for a race horse is 4 ounces a day.  The day before, day of and after the race doubling the dose is recommended.  RR has many functions which you can read about on the website under the human descriptions.  The Rapid Response F and Rapid Response HF are the same formula with the only difference being a horse label or a human label.  It is the same formula.  The Rapid Response HF formula has helped people who have MS and fibromyalgia in additiion to many other problems.  Wrapping: When you have an injury it is advisable to, in addition to feeding it, but also to apply externally on the leg or ? and the Rapid Response promotes healing from the inside and the outside.  Previously we have used the sweat wrap method of applying RR (similar to a furacin wrap) where we want the area to develop warmth so the RR is absorbed directly into the problem area.  Sometimes though especially in the hot summer months the plastic (as seen on the website under directions in left column then select wrapping at top and you can scroll down through several pictures of wrapping with RR (this is in the horse area). and you will get an idea of what I mean.  We have also been using a mixture of 1 oz dmso with 6 oz of Rapid Response  (store in plastic closed container and do not let it freeze) and dipping cotton in this mixture and using it externally and adding support if a fracture.  This needs to be changed daily. 

For fractures,  I suggest the high dose method which is feeding 8 ounces of RR-F twice a day until signs of relief are shown then decrease to 6 oz twice daily until improvement and then down to 4 ounces twice a day until xrays show good healing and thereafter feed at least 4 oz a day to build density into the bone.   This method of dosing works for founder and laminitis and the dosing can be decreased over about a two week period in these two conditions.  There is a handout which should have been shipped to you mentioning Rapid Response questions etc.  Whether you begin with the 8 ounce twice a day dose depends on how old and how severe the fracture is.....if you are talking about a tibia fracture then I would start with 4 ounces twice a day for a week or two and then go from there.  When your horse begins to feel better, he/she will tell you and you will not need bute.  If the horse begins to feel Too Good then this is a sign to decrease the dose about 1 to 2 oz.  It takes about 3 to 5 days for a dose change to show up in the horse.  The more Rapid Response fed in the beginning insures the RR goes to the area in large enough amount to eliminate the debri and free radicals and begin the healing process.  The dose for a tibia fracture should probably begin with a total of 8 ounces a day and after about a month can be decreased to 4 oz a day.  The more RR in the beginning helps the intial healing process.  I sent a free quart of the Rapid Response HF which is the same formula as the horse in case you wanted to know what it does for a horse then you could take it and follow the directions on the bottle.  After 5 days of continously taking it then stop for about 5 days and see if you feel a difference.  (You will probably notice a difference before then.)  I hope this helps you.  Please email with any more questions and I will help in any way I can.

Sharone of Amerdon

When I first contacted you the end of 2001, my horse had just been diagnosed with high ringbone in one foot.  The vet called it "trauma ringbone" and felt he was through with barrel racing.
Although we have not yet completed the treatment Jack is doing awesome and staying completely sound.  He is really enjoying riding in the snow. He is back in barrel training and won his first show.  When I started RR I was just hoping for a result that would help Jack retire comfortable and with minimal pain.  I wasn't planning on racing him again though that thought never left my mind.
Meanwhile, I am going to keep telling everyone I know about RR and what it has done for my horse.  Thank you so very much for being so kind to me and patient.
I am also so truly grateful to have Jack back and in good health.  It is so frustrating and terrifying knowing the horse that has just given you the best thirteen years of your life is in a lot of pain and there is not a magical wand to make it go away.  Then someone comes along and makes it possible to help that horse.  You and Amerdon are amazing and I am glad you all care.
I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel to you and to Amerdon for all of this.  For giving me my horse back, and for working with me through all of this.  You will have a customer for life, I can guarantee you that much.  Did I ever tell you how Jack used to snap, pop, and crack in every joint when he moved and now he doesn't?  I think I might have mentioned it somewhere but feel it is important to mention it again.

“We are using the product on 15 training horses, one yearling, one premature foal and one 20 year old mare who has been barren for two years and was just bred last week.  We’ve used  it for repairing tendons, sesamoiditis, and a possible ulcer.  We’ve used it to stimulate appetites, on splints and shins and have had positive results every time we’ve used it.  Our vet and trainer just marvel at the results.  I am thankful for the results we’re seeing in the foal that was a “red bag preemie”.”

Re: Hez Hot N Sonny (Sonny)  1998 AQHA Pleasure gelding

Date of Injury:  10/29/01

Diagnosed Injury:  LF FT Navicular Fracture 

Date of Diagnosis: 11/21/01  (Confirmed by 4 vets and 2 specialists)

Recommendations by all 6 vets:

1. Euthanize the horse.  There is no possible recovery for this type of injury.
2. Give Bute to the horse for pain, and cut the nerves in the hooves.  This would be a temporary solution, as the nerves would grow back together over time (6 wks to 6 months), and with no guarantee for success.
3. I could find a surgeon who would be willing to completely remove the Navicular bone from the hoof since some horses are born without Navicular bones and are completely sound.  I was told that it would be extremely difficult to locate such a vet that would be willing to perform this procedure, and that the cost of such a procedure is unknown.

My husband called me one day at work and told me to come straight home that night and that he would have Sonny saddled and we would go for a nice trail ride because the winter nights were getting shorter in the Northwest.  When I pulled up on the driveway, I saw Sonny limping across my front lawn, and my husband was waiting for me.
I walked him back to the barn, tied him up, and picked up his front feet.  I cleaned them out, but I couldn’t see anything.  Both of us chalked it up to an abscess and we got out the hot water bucket and Epsom salts.  On Halloween, Sonny couldn’t move.  He was literally leaning up against the wall.  We pulled his front shoes and called out the farrier.  He also could not find anything and told us to continue soaking his feet.
A week went by, and Sonny was literally “cow-tipping” lame.  I could have pushed him over sideways and he would have fallen over ‘splat’.  I called out the vet.  The junior vet came out and did a lameness evaluation, but Sonny only went sound when she deadened the pastern joint.  She told us it was probably soft tissue and just keep him in his stall.  A couple days later, the senior vet was out at my house doing a dental on my hunter horse and pulled Sonny out just to see for himself.  He also did a complete lameness evaluation and told me to haul Sonny to his clinic for x-rays because it might be something else.  It just didn’t add up.  Sonny was way to lame at this point (almost 2 weeks now).
The junior vet was at the clinic and took the x-rays.  Nothing showed up.  We went home.  The senior vet sent her back out to take another set.  Nothing again.  Then the senior vet came out the next day himself and took x-rays of the Navicular region.  I received a call at work the next day telling me that they had found what was wrong with Sonny…he had definitely fractured his Navicular bone completely through ¾ of the way to the inside.  I was then told that there is nothing I could do to save him and that I should have him euthanized immediately.  I immediately requested that the x-rays be sent to a specialist in Oregon State where later I was told the same thing again.
One of my good friends  does a lot of research on the internet through the “Arabian Endurance” websites.  She put me in touch with Dr. Eleanor Kellon which put me in touch with Amerdon Research Farm.
We started Sonny on Rapid Response in December 2001 just before Christmas.  My husband helped me wrap Sonny’s hoof every night with RR and he also received a portion of it in his grain.  At this time, we were still giving Sonny Bute for the pain, but we stopped a few weeks into the program because he no longer needed it.  Sonny seemed sad, but he was very cooperative and he always ate all his food.  He was on complete stall confinement, but his stall is 12x24.  We have 4 other horses, and they never left his side.  They always were by his doorway.
As time went on, Sonny started walking better.  I had x-rays taken on 2-19-01 and they showed that the fracture had actually widened to about ¼” wide, and there was evidence of arthritis developing. His behavior went downhill for a while.  He wasn’t happy anymore, and he was difficult to manage on a lead rope when I took  him for a short walk, so I stopped.  This was about Feb 02 thru April 02.  We wrapped his feet diligently every night with the RR and continued with the oral dosage.  This was quite the commitment, but he was getting around so much better.  Everyday we could see improvement in how he moved around his stall.
Spring time came around, and I felt sorry for Sonny, so I talked with my vet who suggested that I put up a 12x12 portable stall in the field with the other horses so he could be out.  My husband did this, and Sonny’s attitude turned around completely.  In June, I started letting him out with my 2 yr old paint gelding in a small paddock and he loved it.  Some days, he looked flawless.  Some days, you could see a little lameness every 5 or 6 steps, but  not very often.
In August, I had a 3^rd set of x-rays taken, and the fracture is almost completely healed.  It is still open only about a needle’s width and there is no more signs of arthritis.  It’s amazing. Even the vet was amazed.  He said that most of the fracture had filled in with hard material and the cyst area is completely gone.  They originally stated that would never happen and that is why he should be euthanized.    He watched Sonny move and told me to start riding him at an arena 15 minutes a day just to get him back into shape.  We stopped wrapping his foot with the RR and continued with the oral dosage.  My husband and I choose not to start riding Sonny until we get the bone fracture to heal completely.  Rapid Response has gotten us ¾ of the way there so far, we have complete faith that this product will work and we will give it the time it takes to heal Sonny completely.
In November 02, I took Sonny to my Trainer to show her how he is doing.  She was floored.  She just couldn’t believe how well he moves and how he has recovered.  She says it’s a true miracle.  He was awesome that day.  He was so sound….walk…trot…canter…perfect!!!   She even said he was the soundest horse on her property.
Today, Sonny still gets his RR every day.  He has been off Bute since the beginning of January 02’ and we have treated him only using the product Rapid Response, stall rest, and corrective shoeing (egg-bar shoes).  He is a very happy horse.  He is very kind, loving, dependable.   We turn him out everyday in the pasture.  Some days he looks great.  Some days he does look a little off at the trot every few strides.  We are currently working with the farrier to bring his angles back down within a more normal range.  He is never in any pain, and he is very happy to be alive, and I owe that all to Amerdon, the makers of Rapid Response.

Thank you for all you have done for Sonny and my family,

Paul and Stacy Winn

I've been using Rapid Response on my 4 year old mare who fractured her hock in
July.  The latest x-rays (taken a month after I started using RR & a
magnetic hock wrap) show bone being laid down in the fracture site!  Before
I started using your product, the hock was extremely swollen and there was
no difference between x-rays taken post surgery and those taken 5 months
later!  Being without this product is not something I wanted to have to
face.
    Thanks for sending me an e-mail confirming my order.
Sincerely
K

“In June of 1998, my veterinarian told me that my 7-year old horse had ringbone.  He told me we could perhaps stop the progression of the disease, but we couldn’t cure it.  I was unsuccessfully trying to resign myself to the prospect of owning an unsound horse for the next 20+ years!  Nothing we tried on the horse seemed to relieve his pain and lameness.  Then my husband heard about Rapid Response.  After a month and a half of wrapping and feeding the product, we re-x-rayed. The vet told me the ringbone had actually decreased to about half of what it was previously!  After a few more weeks, I began trail riding again-no pain, no lameness.  A couple months later, after further x-rays, the vet pronounced the ringbone gone!  He also commented the Keeno had become so supple and free moving, he was truly an athlete…Thanks for giving my horse back.”

“Started Cagney on Rapid Response on Saturday…A side problem that I’ve had with the knee injury was two cast sores at the side and back of the knee that developed the first week of August last year.  They have been treated since then but never completely went away.  No air could get them to assist in healing and therefore the skin and tissue continued to be tender and would bleed at the slightest bump.  Additionally, Cagney would try to itch the areas as soon as I removed the bandaging so until I got it covered back up, we were always in danger of knocking the top off the sore again.  After seven months, each day there would still be some degree of moisture from the wounds and I continued to apply antibiotic ointment to them.  Anyway, started with R.R. on Saturday and by Tuesday there was no moisture from the cast sores.  By Thursday the sores were significantly healed and the tissue actually receding and tightening.”

COMMENTS-RAPID RESPONSE  USERS- PART 2

"The product is beginning to work itsmagic. I can see it in the way she stands, is more willing to put weight on it,and is much more the normal "Shera" than she has been sinceOctober.  No cortisone, Adequan, heat, ice,mineral rubs, etc. have helped to this point. Now for the first time in fourmonths, my heart sees hope. Wonderful!  I'm so glad myhusband acted when he did!"……(in getting the Rapid Response.)

*******************************
I ordered Rapid Response at the end of Janurary for my mare who suffered anundefinable soft tissue injury (tendon, I believe) that had not been healed in4 months of complete rest and Adequan treatments.  I am halfway through my second gallon of Rapid Response and mymare is seemingly very well-healed. I still have her in paddock confinementexcept for building her back into long walk work just to be safe, but she israring to get out and back into pasture! My vet agreed to give me a deal onradiographs and ultrasounds so we can track the progress- I'll let you knowwhat we find. Thanks again from a very smiley endurance horse owner - I wasafraid she may never be sound again!

   DUE TO THE USE OF RR AND I FIRMLY BELIEVETHAT,    THE MARE IS DOING WELL. THESWELLING WENT AWAY. THE UTERUS TONED UP AND THE VET SAID SHE WAS SOUND FORBREEDING.   SO SHE WENT TO THE BREEDINGSHED LAST WEEK AND WE ARE WAITING FOR HER ULTRASOUND ON DAY 16 AFTER OVULATION.HER FOAL AND NURSE MARE ARRIVED HOME 6/2 AND HE IS ALSO ON RR AND SUCH ACHARACTER. HE'D HAD A PROBLEM WITH A HOCK BUT THAT SWELLING IS MINIMAL, BLOODWORK FINE AND NO NEED FOR ANTIBIOTICS.
HOPE BOTH OF YOU ARE DOING OK.

dear debra, i am sorry about all the confusion with our mail. i have been outof action for a little while and have only just caught up with my mail. i can'tfind your email with the questions you mention so i will briefly outline oursuccess with rapid response. our beautiful baby, glory lady, regained fullstrength after a nine week course of oral and topical treatment of her injuredleg(crack in her canon bone). we sweat bandaged the leg daily for the fullrecovery. not only was her leg like new but her whole wellbeing improveddramatically. unfortunately after being back in work for only six weeks shestruck herself while swimming and did a lot of damage to her near side fronttendon. after much consideration we have now retired her to a maternal role, andshe appears to be quite content with our decision. another of our babies,renway vintage, injured himself quite severely while racing, tearing the tendonsheath in his near side front leg. with wonderful vetrinary expertise and ourown treatment of the injury with rapid response he is brand new and
ready to race. we are currently experimenting with a couple of other longstanding injuries with two of our other horses and hoping for
similar results. i can honestly say we are amazed with our results and willcontinue to use rapid response. the only drawback with trying to get otherpeople to use it is the cost. you have to understand that harness racing inaustralia is the poor relation to thoroughbred racing and the people involved,in the majority, are battlers who are in the game for the love of it and theiranimals. the remuneration rarely covers costs. even with the obvious results ofrapid response many find it impossible to afford. i would like to thank you foryour interest and will continue to let you know of any further successes.
yours sincerely ,
kerry lappin

Hi:
I have wonderful news, and I have been wrapping.  I observed my horse running, trotting and cavorting around mypasture like
he had no pain in the world.  I notice aslight head bob in the extended trot, but sooooo much better then standing in acorner and not moving.

Hey Debra - I just got back from my trip, 16 days on the river in the Grand  Canyon. INDESCRIBABLE! First thing I did ongeting home was pick up Pancho. He is doing incredibly well. He still holds theleg up some, but for the most part he never favors it. This is way beyond whatthe vet expected at this point. We are still taking exercise easy. =

Thanks for working with me on this. Boots

     My aunt's dogs are doing great onit. The larger, who previously couldn't go up and down the stairs, is nowstanding on his hind legs and waving his paws at me when he's happy aboutsomething. My aunt reports he's never done that before. She remains in thehospital (but there may be an end in sight!),however, her dogs are doing quitewell.

Keep fighting, Terri. You're in my thoughts always.

SHARONE& DR. T.

I THINK RACING WILL SURELY GIVE ME GRAY HAIRS. OUR TABASCO CAT COLT RACED ANDBROKE HIS MAIDEN LAST WEEKEND. HE WAS IN THE FIRST RACE. THEN WE HAD TO WAITUNTIL THE 11TH RACE TO WATCH OUR 2YEAR OLD FILLY IN A STAKES RACE. SHE BROKEBEAUTIFULLY AND LED ALL THE WAY TO BE BEAT BY A NOSTRIL IN A PHOTO FINISH. WHATA RACE. FRED AND TRAINER DISAPPOINTED OF COURSE, BUT STAKES-PLACED ISN'T BADEITHER AND THIS FILLY HASN'T BROKEN HER MAIDEN YET SO SHE REALLY HAS POTENTIAL.ANOTHER COLT RACED THE DAY BEFORE AND CAME IN SECOND SO THE PAST WEEKEND WASPROFITABLE.
WE LEAVE AGAIN TOMORROW AS WE'VE 3 MORE RACING THIS WEEKEND AND ONE OF THEM ISANOTHER STAKES RACE. I TRULY BELIEVE MY NERVOUS SYSTEM IS BEST SUITED FOR THEMARES AND FOALS!!!!!!!!!

HAVE HAD ONE RACING ACCIDENT--2 YEAR OLD FILLY GOT STEPPED ON AND SUFFERED ANUPSIDE DOWN V-SHAPED LACERATION TO BACK RIGHT LIMB A COUPLE INCHES ABOVE THEANKLE. THEY SHIPPED HER HOME FROM MIAMI FOR REPAIR. CUT 1/3 OF THE TENDON. HADTHE TRAINER GIVE HER RR BEFORE SHE LEFT AND OF COURSE WE ARE USING ITFAITHFULLY DAILY. THE VETS HAVE HER ON 2 ANTIBIOTICS AND THE “NURSE” HAS HER ONRAPID RESPONSE. THEY COULD ONLY TELL ME THAT TIME WOULD TELL IF HER CAREER ISOVER. THIS HAPPENED THE DAY THAT OUR 3 YEAR OLD WON THE STAKES RACE. SO ELATIONONE MINUTE AND HEARTACHE THE NEXT.

HOPE YOU ARE BOTH WELL.

Hi Terri! Have I told you about John Sandrock's dog?   He has a 120 lb. Malamute named Moose with severe hip problems.
 Westarted him on the Rapid Response and  John reports that he's going to stop using the RR because Moose hasbecome too rambunctious! (He's kidding!)  THere has been a huge change in this dog (who John was previouslyconsidering having to put down). I don't think there's any question about thatnow, and John is very pleased. Another notch to add to your belt, woman! Itmust be wonderful to know you've done so much to improve life, and to savelife, for so many animals.
We love you.
Debra

I am very pleased withthe results of Rapid Response on my 3 yr. old
Thoroughbred.
He sustained a condylar fracture of the cannon bone and pastern.
He received Rapid Response for 1 month and the healing is super. I have been
trying to get the x-rays reproduced to no avail. My vet is very impressed and
I feel this is an excellent product. Mac is now on a 30 day walk regime and I
would like to continue the R.R. during this period.
Please ship me another jar.

Sharon,
I would be delighted to endorse this product and you may use my comments. Myvet, though skeptical at first, kept reading the label and I know was impressedby the second set of x-rays. When I find where I can duplicate them I willforward copies.
I'm going to keep it on McMahon and may use some on another horse too.
If you need any help in my area I would be happy to be a distributor here foryou.
Michele

This is to update you on my now 4 yr. old TB gelding McMahon.
After a condylar fracture of the pastern and cannon bone (non displaced) I put him on Rapid Response.
It has been 1 full year since he returned to training in August of 2001. In the past year in only 7 starts he won two $100,000 added stakes, placed in several others and has earned over $180,000 since his injury and Rapid Response treatment.
I knew he was a very talented horse and RR made it possible for him to return to his full potential.
Thank you.

Good Morning!  
So Glad to hear from you.  Yes things are going well here and the clientslove the results with RR.  Remember that race horse that  hadsuffered a back injury sometime last year and the trainer wanted to try someRR.  I provided him the gallon to start the horse on the product.  Hetold me he would pay me at the end of the week.  Well to make a long storyshort, he did not pay me for the RR and was not having any success with thehorse.  I approached the trainer and made an offer to buy the animalbecause I  felt I could turn this horse around.  He told me the horsewas not for sale and would pay me for the RR.  I told him I was going tostart my own rehabilitation   service and if he changed his mind tolet me know.  Well on March 1 he offered to donate this horse for my ownresearch purpose with holistic approach.  On March 3, the horse wasofficially in my care and I immediately changed his diet from the race horseration he was on and started him on RR that evening.  The next morning hegot 6 oz. of RR with MSM,  I also started him on this natural product madeby Thorne to relax him and take the edge off him.  He was so high from hisold racehorse ration and they would not turn him out because he was always fallingdown and was having trouble getting up,  Can you believe this? and theycall themselves trainers!

Anyway he was on 6 oz for 7 days and have dropped him to 4 oz with MSM.
He gets devils claw with yucca with his evening feed.  We turned him outin a covered round pen for 45 min. while we cleaned his stall and made sure hishay net stayed full all day.  We did the round pen turn out for 10 daysand then introduced a small paddock turn out for an hour.  Well today hegets turned out for 4 hours and loves every minute of it.  He will need alot of work with acupuncture,  acupressure, massage and chiropracticadjustments.   He has one Myo-Fascial Therapy session.  What adifference!  So bottom line, he is doing well.  The RR and thephysical therapy are making a difference for him.  I have named myservices CORNERSTONE Animal Rehabilitation.  I have also made plans tojoin IAATH, International Alliance for Animal Therapy and Healing and hoping toattend the conference this coming September.  If I can get an audiencewith Mary Ann Simmons who is in charge I want to tell her about RR.  Thishas turned into a passion for me to help our animal friends.  Just wantedto share this with you.  I am pretty jazzed about the path my life hastaken.  Take care, June

Janet calledyesterday to let me know that she had x-rays done on Cobra.  She said theringbone was arrested, the navicular bone was textbook perfect, and the cannonbone was aligned perfectly.  The vet was amazed and wanted to know allabout it!  The vet also told her to keep him on it for maintenance. She had previously told Janet that Cobra would be unrideable for the rest ofhis life, but yesterday said to &quot;ride him, and ride him hard!&quot;
Janet was veryexcited.
I was a littledisappointed that the ringbone had only been stopped and hadn'tdisappeared.  However, the horse is very comfortable and a new horse frombefore treatment. Janet's going to continue to wrap for a few more months totry to get rid of the calcium deposits.  However, it will only be fourdays a week as Janet is now working 2 jobs and won't be able to wrap the otherthree days.    Cobra seems totally sound.  No lameness, nohead bobbing.
Another testimonialthat it works on navicular, too!
I want to know moreabout the rotated pastern (which is what she meant when she referred to thecannonbone being aligned).  And I want to send you the latest fromJanet.  See below.
After thinking through it, I have determinedthat perhaps I have been
wrapping Cobra in the wrong spots. I did wrap him where my vet had said to,
but considering yesterday's xrays, which are much clearer than the previous
ones, I think I will now wrap him not on the p3 as she suggested, but on the
joint just above it.  That is where the calcium remains (although the
deposits have not moved INTO the joints, thanks to RR.).
I think the arresting of the ringbone ismiraculous in itself, if I was
applying RR BELOW the trouble spot, and not directly on it.
I am convinced that if I do it this way for acouple of months, the calcium
deposits will have been dissolved by next xrays.
I have written toask why the vet would tell her to wrap below the affected area.
But it's all goodnews, huh?  Especially with the addendum of the above.
She wants toknow if she can start distributing now.  I think she  should. What do you think?  Let me know as soon as youcan.  D

Sharone, My computer crashed last Sunday night, lost everything for four days. After buying a new computer, I had my old drive checked and they found nearlyall my files. WOW!  I keep thinking it had something to do with the photoI forwarded to all after Lu Ravi won. Curious.

Anyway, weneed another case of Rapid Response. Carl now has Lu Ravi on the Rapid Response! Later,db
