Brooks, Thanks for your time and insight.
Yes, I have used DMSO/CS and find it very efficient in biofilm conditions. The only problem is that most USA horse racing jurisdiction have DMSO on a banned substance list. Not good for on going treatment, and it is one impetus for me to find new protocols. I am a bit taken aback by your warning of not "fiddling/experimenting", even if I were a professional of which I do consider myself. I have been treating racehorses for over 30 years. I would suspect, if you see some of these animals come back to the saddling area gushing blood from their nostrils, you might change your mind. Particularly when our vets seem powerless to help. All they can offer is a few CCs of lasix as a preventive. I should think some fiddling and experimenting in a logical manner would be very much to the benefit of these animals. I have never caused harm yet. I think you misunderstood me. I was not trying to produce liposomal CS via the ultrasonic or compressor type nebulizers. I was using them as a delivery device only for a home-made liposomal CS product made under your recommendations (only using CS instead of Vit C) from the harbor fright ultrasound cleaner,,,,,,,,and only then placing the finished liposomal CS product in one or the other type of that nebulizer for delivery into the lungs. At any rate, thanks again. doug ----- Original Message ----- From: Brooks Bradley To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 7:18 PM Subject: Re: CS>one for brooks I have only a few moments of time, at present. However, I offer a couple of comments on your inquiry. First, there are a wide variety of enzymes which will act as solvents/penetrants of MANY membrane-type tissues/films. Bromelain is one (a very effective one) of many. Some enzymes are "narrow spectrum" in effect and some are "wide spectrum". I have no knowledge of the effects of specific enzymes on the effectiveness/enhancement of antibiotics. Briefly, the most effective liposomal substances are...as a general rule....the smallest in particle size. Ultrasonic devices and HIGH PRESSURE DIFFRACTION DEVICES are, at present, the most effective for accomplishing this. Conventional air compressors could serve, quite adequately, in a large number of applications. The proviso being that one is aware that geometry of the discharge assembly is of great importance (small particles are vital to non-injurious success). We have utilized 90% colloidal silver X 10% DMSO SOLUTIONS to very powerful effect in addressing serious pulmonary insults in equines (all ages). We have not used enzymes in direct-address situations involving horses. Primarily, because nothing we have ever evaluated has approached the ability of DMSO as a mucous-barrier penetrating agent. Coarse-particled gases (liquid mixtures) pose a potential threat for enabling pneumonia-type insults. Liposomal encapsulation does, indeed, offer some profound advantages.....especially when utilized through proper supporting equipment. However, I would counsel that "fiddling/experimenting" with pulmonary challenges among horses, by inexperienced persons (even professionals), is a very DANGEROUS endeavor. The least threatening/effective protocols we have ever utilized involved oxygen-driven fluids which were micro-sized and furnished via systems of the re-breather type. I must go now. I hope these comments are of value to you. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
