Question
I have a friend who has spent over $15,000 trying to cure a horse that has foundered.  Are there any cell salts that will help heal this horse's feet?

Answer
Homeopathy with great shoeing and nutrition can definitely cure a horse that has foundered. Usually cell salts are not the accurate match for this serious a condition. go to www.theAVH.org and search the referral list for equine veterinarians near the horse or ones who will work by phone. Dr. Joyce Harman is an excellent one in VA who can work by phone. www.HarmanyEquine.com is her site.

Dr. Ward has a great website and list serve - www.HolisticHorsekeeping.com

Good Chinese medicine can also treat these horses. www.IVAS.org or www.TCVM.com.
