On my last post I started talking about cure, palliation and suppression of symptoms. This post continues that post. Palliation – This is what happens most often when treating symptoms. We have been conditioned to expect this most people don’t mind giving medicines long term as long as they get rid of symptoms. Many horse … Continue Reading »
I have been approaching my practice and life from a holistic perspective for about 20 years. This has been a process. I did not wake up one morning or read a book and decide to be holistic. I did, however, grasp the concept and I have been striving to achieve it ever since. I want … Continue Reading »
I just finished reading the May 2009 issue of The Horse magazine. I was very interested in the article on worms in horses. This article focused on the resistance worms have developed to chemical dewormers. It seems that the conventional wisdom is coming to the same conclusions that many of us holistic types have been … Continue Reading »
Thank heavens for the recession economy. Why do I say that? I say that because it is forcing more people to step back and reevaluate their choices in life. We have been living in a bubble economy for as long as I can remember. What I mean by bubble economy is the false belief system … Continue Reading »
I have been listening to all the news about the swine flu. I believe this is a real concern but not necessarily a reason to panic. So far the flu doesn’t seem to be fatal in most cases but is does spread rapidly once it comes into an area. Those of us who have horses … Continue Reading »
I spent much of the day yesterday calling some new leads for network marketing and following up on some past ones.

Everybody goes through periods of being stuck in their network marketing business and in any business for that matter. I am not going to do what most people do and tell you to talk to more people, get on more training calls, go to more company events, read more personal growth books or redo … Continue Reading »
I have been examining my own nutritional program lately after I caught that nasty virus that kept me sick most of Feb. I have now been sick 3 times since moving to Fischer. I am sure I got run down with the move and all but I should be over it by now. I got … Continue Reading »
First of all it is just plain rude to put down another person’s business. I do not have a problem with making legitimate comparisons with your company and another but I got off the phone yesterday hopping mad after my company, product and founders were attacked by a distributor from Tahitian Noni. The sad … Continue Reading »
One of the biggest challenges for anyone in network marketing is to get people to take those first steps. I have heard the analogy many times of how starting your network marketing business is like a plane taking off. It takes a lot of effort to get off the ground but once you are in … Continue Reading »
I have been thinking a lot lately about how grateful I am to have found network marketing. Even when people are tightening their belts to deal with the slow economy I have not seen that much decrease in my monthly volume of orders. It took me 15 years to build my group with my first … Continue Reading »
I read an interesting article in Trainer Magazine, issue 11, on amino acid supplements for race horses. The article stated that protein must be high quality so that it can be broken down in the small intestine where amino acid absorption occurs. The article talked a good bit about tryptophan, which is a precursor for … Continue Reading »
I am continuing in a dialog with my newsletter subscriber who was concerned about my use of pergolide. Her experience was with an insulin resistant horse that did not respond to supplements but did respond to the Floth horse supplements from Dr. Thomas. She was very happy with the individual coaching she received from the … Continue Reading »
I went to California last weekend to present my Five Element horse temperament typing system at the Equine Affaire expo. Despite the fact that I was sick as a dog I had a fantastic time. It has been so long since I have been sick in any way I did not even recognize the … Continue Reading »

I was responding to a post on my forum about feed supplements and the fact that our horses sometimes need the same supplements we do. I do agree that your health challenges can be similar to our horses and I think this may be because we are drawn to horses that are the same type … Continue Reading »
I picked up feed for my horses yesterday and it was very depressing. I am wanting to buy premium quality because I believe that is what my horses deserve and that is what keeps them healthy. I am beginning to wonder if I need to think about my health, especially financial. One 40 pound bag … Continue Reading »
