Bob McKnight and Billy the Standard bred... - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

I have a Standard bred Gelding, who as a yearling was lame in his offside rear leg. Upon examination by vets in Perth, he was diagnosed as having a cyst on his stifle joint.

My options were to operate at a cost of $5,000 - $6,000 with no guarantee of success, or even an 50-50% outcome, or spell him in paddock for 12 months, with about a 20% chance of improvement, or to have him euthanized.

After speaking to everyone and anyone about my problem, someone suggested that I speak to Cath McDowell a Herbalist based in Bathurst N.S.W.

She advised me to stop feeding any processed feeds and put him on a course of crushed millet, crushed linseed, kelp and a Blood Cleansing liquid, and the Tendon & Bone extract, chaff and rice bran, a biscuit of oaten hay morning/night for three months. I have followed this diet completely, and at the end of 14 weeks I had him re x-rayed, the result was very good, with an improvement of 70%, my vet (whom I had not told of the alternative treatment) was amazed at the improvement, as he thought maybe a slight improvement only.

I am more than happy with this improvement, and it gives me hope for Billy's racing career coming to fruition. I will continue with the diet until Dec/Jan and am hopeful of more improvement, and will commence light exercise.

I commend Cath and her Staff for all the help and advice, and forwarding the liquids to me in Capel Western Australia.

Thank you for all your help, Bob Mc Knight.

Christmas 2013

Hello, seasons greeting to you, as Bob told you, we are over the moon with the improvement Billy has shown, this is the horse that we were told: euthanize, leave in paddock for 12 months, or have a very expensive operation.

The vet was very surprised at his latest x-rays, and said he has improved by 90%. Bob has now started him with a bit of light jogging, with some harness on, Billy seems to enjoy the extra attention, and although very spoilt has a lovely nature, he has grown and filled out, and his coat is gleaming.

Once again, a huge thanks and best wishes for a wonderful New Year. Bob Mc Knight
