Doug,
The state I reside in (CA) allows DMSO as late as the day before a race
if I'm not mistaken. I do believe alot of horses bleed due to fungal
infections in the lung tissue... but that is only part of the problem. In
Chinese medicine it is due to "dry heat" or "heat" in the lung and wind
invading. Regardless, delivering CS with DMSO via a nebulizer might be a good
idea but if you're going to try and clear up an infection you should do it
between races, not right before or the day of. That way there is no problem
with DMSO either. We use Yu Nan Bai Yao very successfully. This stops
bleeding internally. Give 6 bottles the morning of the race. Works better
than lasix without the side effects.

It has been my experience that CS will not curb bleeding. In my specialty
of pulmonary bleeding on the race track, horses tend to bleed and the
traditional veterinary protocol is to inject them with lasix, a diuretic, which
some times helps. Many times, it does not. Also, vets seem not to know why
performance horses bleed from the lungs. It is my experience and theory that
they bleed because they have a biofilm lung infection which is very hard to
diagnose, culture and treat with conventional antibiotics. DMSO and CS seems
some what effective as long as we can work around the state ban on DMSO given
in the vicinity time frame of a race. I think liposomal CS may offer a much
needed option to striking at the heart of this bleeding problem by aiming at
the offending biofilm infection and not be curbing the bleeding directly per se.

Doug,
Have you used CS as a treatment for bleeders? If so, how do you do
this. Thanks.
