Hi Ode! Thanks for that. Interesting. Wish I could afford to have my EPM horse carefully examined when he dies. I'd have every inch of his spinal cord analyzed to see if silver was found in the areas of protozoal damage. We know that the silver reaches and kills the protozoa, because the horses have a Herxheimer reaction, then begin to recover. The problem is that we're not getting everything killed -- because the horse can appear to be cured, then a year or two later (and sometimes sooner) will relapse. And we know we're not seeing reinfection. So, we wonder if protozoal larvae encyst themselves somehow where they're bypassed by the silver, and then go on to mature and re-emerge to do more damage. It's a frustrating disease. We see relapses in late Spring, with the advent of warm weather. There's a certain type of worm that horses commonly have that has this type of life cycle. It's extremely difficult to kill off that encysted worm larvae, and when they re-emerge they do a tremendous amount of damage to the gut walls. I speculate that the protozoal larvae have a similar life cycle. Sadly, mainstream veterinary care has a lower success rate with EPM horses than we CS-users do. Their main treatments are for thirty days, and thirty days later the horses are relapsing. And most horse owners can't afford another go-round at $600 to $1,100 per month. Those horses either die or are put down. We, at least, can fire up the CS-maker and have another go -- for as long as we need to.
