We recently moved our family, including four horses across three states. In anticipation of moving day I was worried particularly for two of our horses; one of them is 24, Atlas, and the other is an 18 yr. old grey mare with melanoma, Abbie. I was concerned that the stress of the move would compromise their immune systems. My vet suggested Echinacea. Being familiar with your products I remembered Immuzim. Two weeks before our scheduled moving date, I began the recommended dose for each horse. I felt good about doing what I thought would fortify them for the move. Wasn't I gratefully surprised to discover an added benefit... a week before the move, Abbie's melanomas seemed to be enlarging and were sensitive to touch. Yikes! Two days after the move the largest internal one ruptured and began to drain. It drained for two more weeks. I chose not to wean Abbie off the Immuzim. Immuzim will be a staple in her diet to fortify her immune system under non-stressful circumstances with the hope that all her melanomas will diminish in size! Thank you again, sincerely, Lisa Bryan, Windridge Farm, Jeffersonville, Vermont PS: I use Soothex and Tea Tree Antiseptic Spray as a topical on her melanomas.

Dear Emerald Valley,

First let me introduce myself, my name is Suzanne Kiewiet. My family runs a small riding stable which we own 16 horses of our own, young and old included. We've owned one of our horses for over 25 years, Taib, a 27 yr. young part Arabian. He has taught many young children to ride during his life and is looking forward to teaching many more. For most of his life his summers have been very trying for him. He has an allergy to the bugs and also been diagnosed with COPD.

This summer we discovered a wonderful product, Immuzim!! I can't tell you the major difference this product has made in my horses lives. The flies and bugs were just not an issue this year. There were no steroids or strong insecticides. And I have to tell you that he has never looked better and there is no coughing on the trail at all! He has much more energy and always ready to go for a ride. Thank you from my dear old friend and from myself. Now I know I can't keep him around forever, but his quality of life has definitely taken a large turn towards the better. I just can't thank you enough.

I must also tell you I work from Dr. Applegate and Equine Health Service in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This spring one of our clients told us about your product, Evitex. She started using it for her old horse that has Cushings and was so pleased with the results she was seeing. We at the clinic have been using it for many of our clients as you surely know. Daily I talk with our clients that use your products and all of them just love them as I do. Dr. Lynn has seen your products work their magic and is so pleased with all the super feedback we get at the clinic about the great changes in the horses. I just wanted you to know that we really do appreciate you and the products you provide.

From myself and all the horses in the Southwestern Michigan area that use and love your products, THANK YOU again from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely yours, Suzanne Kiewiet and Bramblewood Taib, Bangor, Michigan

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that you suggested I try Immuzim for my 5-year-old homebred TB/App cross gelding. This horse has suffered from quite a few health setbacks in his life, despite being a big, robust colt for the most part. The most serious illness occurred when he was just a yearling, when he contracted some sort of infection that caused sudden and severe neurological symptoms which, fortunately, resolved in time with only very minimal lasting effects - a slight head tilt is the only reminder of the fact that we nearly lost him that summer. We believe the infection was caused by the neurological form of the equine herpes virus, although we were unable to confirm the diagnosis with standard lab testing, and were never able to explain how he might have contracted the disease. In addition, this horse has suffered from skin problems ranging from frequent hives and severe responses to insect bites, to the formation of granulomas under the skin in response to irritants of some sort - probably also insect bites, according to my vet. Around the time he turned 4, the horse came down with an upper respiratory infection with fever, nasal discharge and a cough which dragged on and kept him out of work for an entire summer. The following spring he caught another cold, and by then had begun showing signs of chronic respiratory allergies and possible early obstructive airway disease. Sometimes he was so distracted by his cough and nasal irritation that it was difficult for him to concentrate on his work, so training proceeded slowly. We tried all the usual management and veterinary remedies -restricting and soaking his hay, increasing his turn-out time, antihistamines, decongestants and inhaled albuterol and steroids - but still his work-induced cough persisted on a fairly regular basis. Hot, humid weather made it worse, as is usually the case with respiratory problems that so many horses have. I had been using BTB Plus (formerly NoBute) from Emerald Valley for several years for another horse who is older and has some navicular changes. BTB Plus has helped to keep this horse sound and still competing as a show hunter at age 16, ten years after his navicular diagnosis, so I'm a firm believer in your products. When you suggested that I give Immuzim to my young gelding, I thought it was certainly worth a try, especially since your products have such a good safety record. If it helped even a little with the chronic cough and nasal irritation that still plagued my horse, I thought it would be well worth the price. I was amazed, however, at the response this horse has had to Immuzim. Within two days of his first dose, he had virtually stopped coughing at all when I rode him, and now, months later, he's still not coughing. I have completely eliminated the use of the inhaler, and this past summer when he caught his usual summer cold, it was very mild and left no lingering effects, unlike the previous times he'd been ill. Although he is still pretty sensitive to insect bites and other skin irritants, I'm hopeful that the Immuzim will improve this area, as well. Even if it doesn't, the product has been a godsend for this horse, and has allowed us to actually make some progress with his training, finally. He's doing great now. Thanks so much. My horses are proof-positive that the right herbal product can truly make a difference in an animal's health and well-being. Sincerely, Kay Frydenborg, Stewartstown, Pennsylvania

Emerald Valley, I spoke with you a few weeks ago regarding your product, Immuzim. It is wonderful! As I explained, I have a 30 yr. old, 3/4 Arab mare that has been “itchy” for the past three summers. Nothing else I tried helped. My vet, Dr. Lynn Applegate introduced me to Immuzim in the Spring of 2002. My mare had her most comfortable summer in years. I never would have tried it or believed in it if it wasn’t for the Dr. (and Sue at her office)!! I’m enclosing a picture of “my old gal” during her best summer yet!
