EQUINE
UVEITIS (IRITIS), ITS CAUSE AND HOLISTIC
TREATMENT
Definition
- Uveitis is an inflammation of the iris of the
eye. However, commonly other structures of the eye are also involved: the choroid,
and the ciliary body (cyclitis).
Causes
- can be from foreign body penetration,
severe laceration or contusion of the eyeball, or in the course of certain systemic
infections such as Leptospirosis Pomona, sepsis and autoimmune reactions.
Symptoms
- acute onset, photophobia (shuns direct sunlight), blepharospasm (eyelids
tightly held shut), excessive tearing and pain. Horses are quiet and depressed.
Congestion of the whites of the eye, with cloudiness of the cornea and swelling
of the iris may be detected. The pupil constricts and becomes pinpoint. Clumps
of leukocytes (white blood cells from the blood) may appear as small white clumps
floating in the liquid within the anterior chamber of the eye behind the cornea.
Complications
- untreated, adhesions of the iris can form to block intraocular drainage
and produce secondary glaucoma and swelling of the eye globe. Precipitates in
the fluid in the posterior chamber behind the iris appear when the ciliary body
and choroids are inflamed. Both sequelae interfere with vision and are very painful.
Orthodox
treatment:
- Use
of topical and systemic antibiotic medications is employed when treating iridocyclitis.
Corticosteroids may be used with antibiotic therapy to reduce inflammation.
- Topical
eye drops to dilate the pupil and prevent adhesions of the iris to the eye
- Pain
relief with injectable Meperidine (Demerol) or corticosteroid-aspirin combinations.
Holistic
Treatment:
On
two levels of involved pathology: the physical and the electromagnetic energy
levels of the body:
Physical:
includes my Detoxification and Support Program since many pathologies occur
from the immune system and organ weaknesses from chemical, and past vaccination
affects:
- 3
bottle Detox homeopathy to cleanse system of heavy metals, herbicides
and pesticides. The horses' diet especially is contaminated with the heavy metal
Aluminum
- Stop giving drug vaccines, detox noxious affects of past vaccinations given, with my Detox Horse nosode, Detox Horse WNV nosode, and Detox Horse Potomac Fever nosode. Then use the same Detox nosodes to strengthen the EMF to keep the animal healthy and strong.
- Leptospirosis
Pomona Homeopathic Nosode 3 bottle Set 12x,
30C, 60C specifically for Uveitis caused by this bacteria.
- Supportive
homeopathic remedies: Female Eye Iris Inflammation Support 100C or Male Eye iris Inflammation Support 100C. To be used concurrently with above 3
remedies.
- New
Life Bovine Colostrum the horse's immune system
- If
there are corneal opacities give 3 bottle Homeopathic
Cataract remedies
- Aerobic
Oxygen 7 drops in drinking water to increase e oxygenation of the tissues
of the eye to repair efficiently.
- Have
a baseline Hair Analysis done of your
horse to detect the levels of heavy metals and imbalances in nutritional minerals
and electrolytes. This gives us a good basis of what to supplement and guide to
potencies of Detox Metals that have to be given.
I have found Horses that are older than 7 years of age, require Detox remedies
at 200C, 400c, and 600C or higher depending on the number of years of accumulations
in the tissues.
Electromagnetic
Field Energy Support:
- Measure
and purchase my Healing Halter
for the Horse. This is a must in all healing. Please see section dealing with
the 6 Healing Factors built into this halter and the 20 years testimonials from
satisfied animal owners.
- Blue
Color Therapy: Continuously shine a 25 watt clear blue colored light bulb no more
than 3 feet from horses's body, and tie dark blue ribbons in mane and tail. This
color energy vibration helps to reduce inflammation and pain.
Prevention
of re-exposure to toxins in diet and vaccines:
- I
recommend treating only with homeopathic vaccinosis nosodes. The Detox Horse
Vaccinosis 30C after cleansing past vaccinations affects can be used to stimulate
immunity. It comes with directions how to use as a vaccination program.
Case
Study "Patches" 23 year old
female pony with bilateral severe
Uveitis and chronic history of universal allergies: grasses, weeds, trees, foods, molds, , insects, pine shavings
and jute/sisal. Orthodox treatment employed
using steroid injections directly inside eye globe + antibiotics. One eye became
blind, but at time of my consultation, Patch could see somewhat out of the other
eye, despite some cloudiness to the cornea. Following is her Hair Analysis 3 weeks
into my recommended holistic treatment. We were unable to have a Hair Analysis
at the beginning of the treatment which I'm sure would have shown more severe
accumulations of heavy metals and imbalances in the nutritional minerals and electrolytes.
Please note: toxic levels of all heavy metals, with extremely high
copper (Cu) and aluminum levels.
Note
deficiencies in calcium, sodium, iron, chromium and phosphorus. Note excesses
in potassium, magnesium, and manganese. This is a picture of a chronic immune
mediated disturbance of the body, and a long standing inflammatory process causing
potassium being pulled from inside the muscle cells of the body. This produces
generalized weakness as well as uveitis and allergies. Since our holistic Detoxification
and Support Program has been initiated, the attending veterinarian has noted improvement
in Patch's good eye and she is "perkier"
according to her owner. We still have a long way to go, but I'm confident she
will get better with time and we may save that eye.
This is the story of a little 9 year old girl, "Grace" and her mare, "Starlet".
Not long after Grace was given her mare, "Starlet", the mare developed unresponsive Uveitis, (inflammation of the internal part of the eye) and blindness in this eye. She was taken to many veterinarians, including the Louisiana State University Vet School for numerous treatments both systemically and locally to the eye. One veterinarian injected the eyeball with steroids. Nothing helped, and Starlet" became blind in one eye and could not be ridden. Grace's parents became frustrated with the rising expenses and no improvement. At first they considered enucleation, but then decided on euthanasia.
Grace was devastated, she cried and cried. "Starlet" was her buddy, she loved her very much. It was then her mother, Kelley, found my website on the internet and asked for help. With an in depth consultation and after many weeks of treatment, "Starlet" regained her health and her vision.
Grace wrote me a moving thank you letter, and her mother made me this video to let others know there is hope.
We don't have to put these animals down.
