Sherry Milligan
explains: “Over the years many Equine Athletes have been in my care. My
experiences with the traditional approaches to their healthcare were
frustrating. Time and economics take precedence over prevention and cures. The
eagerness for quick and easy solutions leads to disorders treated with drugs
that may simply mask and suppress symptoms without addressing the underlying
cause.
Challenged to find alternatives; I began looking for a larger scope of concepts
and ideas. My self-directed study convinced me to change my approach to
natural choices for performance, health and healing. I applied my newfound
knowledge
and have seen horses get well and recover from
conditions considered hopeless from the conventional perspective. “

“Sherry Milligan has reduced down time of increasing healing rate using
the 3-STEP INTERACTIVE PLAN on tendons and suspensory ligaments.
Using ultra sound the structures appear to heal at an increased
rate. Fiber alignment occurs quicker and better than
without treatment.”
Dr. CJ Schwartz, DVM |
The
3-STEP INTERACTIVE PLAN for Equine Performance and Recovery
addresses:
• Wounds
• Loss of elasticity
• Breakdown and inflammation of the synovial fluids
• Damage to bone, tendon, ligament and muscle
• Inflamed disc and sciatic nerve
• Inflamed joints associated with training, competition and aging
• Post-surgical recovery
• Maintenance and prevention
The
3-STEP INTERACTIVE PLAN for Equine Performance and Recovery gives horses a
second chance solution — even with the worst problems. The results can be
amazing.
By affecting cellular metabolism, this three-step program has:
• Decreased inflammation and pain
• Normalized infection
• Repaired damage to bone, cartilage, muscle and tissue
• Reversed throat ulcerations
• Shortened post-surgical recovery time
• Treated tendons and ligaments, resulting in properly aligned fiber repair
• Treated abscesses
• Managed wound care without stitches or medication
• Benefited
pre- and post-competition |
What
has been noted with regular use of the
3-STEP
INTERACTIVE PLAN
is that
there
is a high success where other therapies have failed in chronic diseases as well
as old and new injuries. Below you
will find case studies.
Decreased Inflammation and Pain (1)
|
Rare Little Lady, a thoroughbred filly racing
at Louisiana Downs, suffered a serious puncture wound to her left front
foot.
She was treated with pain medication and the antibiotic Baytril. Regretfully
the procedure was unsuccessful. She was sent to Equine Alternatives. Her
foot was cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, and using a diaper, packed with
cold processed caster oil. Her leg was sprayed with an Equine Alternatives'
formulation and she was given pulsed electromagnetic
frequency treatments.The photos represent 5 days of Equine Alternatives'
twice daily therapies.

Decreased Inflammation and Pain (2)
|
A 7-year-old Miniature, Cheyenne, experienced
colicky symptoms over a period of several days. She was treated for an
impaction by her veterinarian but remained uncomfortable. Upon her arrival
she was oiled again and using Magnopro Equine
neck applicator over her back, like a blanket, she was treated for 15
minutes. In less than an hour her bowels moved. |
Normalized infection
|
3-year-old Thoroughbred
Hannah's Creek, lost by 30 lengths at Oaklawn Park, April 13. It was
determined that she had a lung infection.
A culture was done and appropriate antibiotics and conventional treatments
were used for over two months. When she was not cured, the
3-STEP
INTERACTIVE PLAN for equine performance and recovery was introduced.
She was returned to her trainer July 22 and won a 7-furlong race July 31.

Repaired damage to bone, cartilage, muscle,
tissue (1)
|
High on
Wishes, a 4-year-old Thoroughbred gelding was extremely lame in his left
fore.
X-rays showed a fractured coffin bone. Treatment using the
3-STEP
INTERACTIVE PLAN for equine performance and recovery began June 4th. By
June 24th, all lameness was gone and x-rays showed that healing had begun.
The Magnopro Equine Pen was introduced to the outside of the hoof and on August
4th, x-rays showed the fracture healed.

Repaired damage to bone, cartilage, muscle,
tissue (2)
Shortened post-surgical recovery time
(1)
|
Quarter
Horse Weanling Filly arrived with a large growth
covering most of her left front pastern.
A biopsy confirmed the growth
should be surgically removed. Post surgery the filly was fed
Replenish n
Repair, treated with the Magnopro Equine
Pen. Replenish n Repair gel was applied to
the surgery site daily. She was walked by hand and turned out in a small
pen.
The surgery site healed and there was no loss of function to her
pastern joint.

Shortened post-surgical recovery time (2)
Reversed throat ulcerations
|
Slew's Sunny - "Endoscopic examination revealed an inflamed
larynx with a small lesion on an aretnoid. Post
treatment exam indicated inflammation gone and lesion barely visible with
endoscope. Did not reoccur with training." Dr. CJ
Schwartz, DVM
|
Treated tendons and ligaments, resulting in properly aligned fiber repair
|
Accelerando, a 4-year old Bay
Thoroughbred bowed a tendon during a race.
Ultrasound
showed a core lesion, involving approximately 35% of the superficial digital
flexor tendon. Treatment began using the
3-STEP
INTERACTIVE PLAN for equine performance and recovery.
The tendon healed and the core lesion filled with fibers that are well
aligned. Accelerando returned to racing successfully and
has gone on to win. |
Treated abscesses
|
Ibelongtobelle, a 6 – year – old Thoroughbred Stallion,
developed a high fever and swelling under his jaw a few days after arrival.
He was diagnosed with highly contagious Strangles. He
received banamine twice when his fever exceeded 103, but did not receive any
other medication. His jaw was cleaned with hydrogen
peroxide, massaged with cold processed caster oil and treated with the
Magnopro Equine Leg
Applicator around
his neck. When his lymph nodes abscessed, treatment
continued, Replenish n Repair gel
was applied directly to the wound and the pink ointment “Swat” around the
wound to deter flies. Sanitation was a primary concern
and this Stallion fully recovered in less than two weeks with no infection
to the other horses in the barn.
|
Managed wound care without stitches or medication
|
Baycliff, a 2 – year – old Thoroughbred
gelding received a very deep and gaping puncture wound.
He was treated 2 –3 x’s a day with the 3-STEP
INTERACTIVE RECOVERY PLAN. First the wound was cleaned thoroughly
with hydrogen peroxide and hydrotherapy applied for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Next the wound was flushed with more hydrogen peroxide and sprayed
with an Equine Alternatives’ formulation. Baycliff was
lead from the wash rack to our treatment stall and the wound covered with
plastic wrap. PEMF treatments were given with the
Magnopro Equine Pen.
This horse received no medication, was walked by hand daily and his
wound healed without infection or muscle atrophy.

Benefit pre- and post- competition
|
Grand
Mystery- a 5-year-old Thoroughbred mare had a history of “crazy”, “nut
case”, and “can’t train”.
In hopes of settling her prior to racing her trainer attempted to
school her in the paddock; Grand Mystery was so nervous she flipped upside
down and injured her back and neck. She arrived very
sour and unhappy. We began treating her with the entire
Magnopro Equine
Deluxe System
prior to training each day. The relaxation setting
settled her and she began to enjoy training. This filly
was treated prior to every race, won, and continued to race successfully.
The photo shows a happy filly that will literally lead her groom to
the Magnopro Equine treatment
stall.
