“There are other ways to support health in our horses.”


veterinarians but is widely used on humans and pets in 50 countries. The BICOM is programmed with more than 1400 computer-linked therapeutic programs. Ruslan’s BICOM treatments began in November of


2010 in conjunction with the Doxycycline (and the herbs, probiotics and immune-boosting products) and continued through January 2011. He received five BICOM treatments in all. After his first BICOM treatment, I noticed a dramatic difference in his demeanor. His pain seemed lessened. He seemed brighter and happier and more engaging. In March of this year we retested his Lyme/Western blot titer and the result was equally dramatic at 215! (The values are 0-129 negative for Lyme, 130-379 equivocal, 380 and above, positive.) “The 215 is very promising,” says Dr. Wagner, “and


continued follow up on your horse is the right thing… I would say you are on the right track, given the horse is improving and he’s happy.” Dr. Wagner thought my patience in this entire process, i.e. letting him rest and only hand walking, attributed to his improvement as well. But the best news was still yet to come. At the end


of March, new results from Cornell University arrived. In comparing the serum samples from October 2010 to that of March 2011, Dr. Wagner states, “I consider the result from


the March sample as negative for Lyme disease...The fact that the antibodies are in the negative range now supports that the bacteria were successfully cleared.” Needless to say, I am elated about his prognosis! I am back riding him now but we’re easing back into the


routine, and I almost always begin by lunging him first so I can access his movement overall. Dr. Wagner will follow up with Ruslan and has added him to her ongoing equine Lyme disease study. “I think the key to Ruslan’s recovery was treating him


with the BICOM,” says Dr. Downey. “I have treated a number of horses and many dogs suffering from chronic Lyme disease with BICOM therapy and achieved excellent results. In my opinion, in this country we choose drugs first because that’s our culture. It doesn’t necessarily make it right. It’s just our choice. There are other ways to support health in our horses. Our bodies know how to heal themselves. It’s in our cellular memory. The challenge is to restore the healing mechanism; reactivate it. Drugs do not restore the healing mechanism, they alleviate the symptom. The challenge of the holistic practitioner is to teach the client that there are other ways of healing.” “The state of disease occurs when there is so much


toxic interruption in the body that (the body’s) self-healing mechanisms are blocked,” adds Dr. Downey. “The animals are there to teach us. The question is: are we listening?”
