Re: [RC] APF What is in it, and would residues from its administrationviolate rule 13? - Truman Prevatt
The problem with all this is the element selenium would probably be
considered a drug in the prevention of muscle disorders. Does that mean
horses that live on CO are taking drugs because of the high Se
concentrations in the soil or does that mean people in the Washington,
Orgeon, Idaho and Florida can not give Se because it is a durg. Many
weeds in the field have substances with "pharmacological effect." Does
that mean they are "drugs." Another good example is MSM. Every double
blind study (in hunans) done on MSM indicates it has NO - that is zero
- anti-inflammatory effects but yet somehow were worry about it. I
suspect the same is ture with horses. Why do we worry about it?
If the AERC can keep "real drugs" out of our sport they are doing all
of us a great favor and given the push to allow gastroguard it is a
given that not all members feel that way. We need to keep the real
drugs out of the sport and stop worrying about plants that might have
an effect in humans. Let's keep our eye on the ball and keep the drug
companies for dictating which horses win endurance rides. Worrying
about herbs and supplements is IMO a distraction to that goal.
