Hi Jane. Thank you for your reply. EPM is Equine Protozoal Myloencephalitis -- a protozoal infection of the spinal cord, resulting in neurological symptoms consistent with the location of the infective lesion(s). Standard allopathic drug treatment is very expensive, and rarely effective for the simple reason that it isn't continued long enough. One of the reasons that EIS is so valuable as a treatment protocol is that it is very in-expensive, and people can afford to treat their horses for as long as necessary. EPM isn't unlike Lyme in that the protozoa seem to have the ability to hide in the body where the meds bypass them, then they re-emerge later to create havoc again. So -- I'm of the mind, as I think are most of the list-members here, that the EIS that we make is at the least as good as, and likely superior to, any other silver product. I feel that we're already using what is most appropriate -- we've been successfully using it for many years. The information that I'm needing is how to explain to a vet who is apparently misinformed about silver products, that she is (misinformed) and to be able to explain why. Anyone who is referring to CS as *heavy metal* isn't educated on the subject -- and if you're going to tell this to a vet, you better be understanding the information yourself. So that's the kind of information that I'm looking for. Thanks again. MA

Not sure what EPM is to comment further, Best, Jane
