An excellent lecture, with osteopathic context, even if that wasn't intended. Thank you 🙏

Get all the racing community to contribute when the horse is entered into any race $2 or £2 compulsory payment per race entry should go towards laminitis foundation.

Glyphosate, to name one herbicide used on hay that REALLY affects the hormones and is an inhibitor to enzymes, could possibly cause an overreaction in a horse's hoof. The dairy industry has noticed a rise in cow deaths while using hay which had glyphosate on it. Glyphosate in humans readily impacts the endocrine system and also causes cancer. If not being done already, horses with laminitis should be tested for different pesticide and chemical levels, hoping that at their blood may shed light on another part of this disease. During a necropsy, hooves, etc, should also be tested because the body sometimes hides toxins to get them out of the bloodstream, most frequently in fat. Hoping for a treatment or cure.

Like many ailments in humans. These conditions seem to be related to diet and/or hormones. In humans it is becoming increasingly apparent that the immense level of carbohydrates in our diets, via insulin, likely causes diabetes, heart disease, possibly dementia, and likely many other diseases including cancer. In horses maybe carbohydrates in the diet are a contributing factor if not the sole factor. I'm interested to know if wild horses or zebras get laminitis?

The role of boron in humans and animals has long been known to be diverse. An animal’s inability to access boron from their diet will: Reduce the horse’s ability to reduce inflammation - horses with laminitis will be especially prone to an inability to reduce inflammation. Swollen joints will subside very slowly. This is associated with the animal’s inability to synthesise lipoxygenase - an enzyme that helps control inflammation. General movement will be restricted due to the collective effect of the inflammation. Old and young animals will display an inability to maintain bone density and be slow to recover from injury. Sensitive feet, or poor hoof health, is often a problem associated with a lack of boron. This will obviously be exacerbated if the horse is suffering from laminitis. Boron and magnesium are both required to enable a horse to metabolise calcium. Without adequate access to both elements bone loss will steadily accelerate, which often stimulates the development of osteoporosis. If your horse is lacking ‘mental alertness’ and underperforming, then a lack of boron can often be the problem. Also, boron balances hormones in humans. Maybe horses, too.
