Re: [RC] Eq Herpes Musings - Maryanne GabbaniFrom a recommendation from another list where herpes in both horses and humans was being discussed, use L-lysine."Yes, that's just the point. I first used it on my horse and then on myself. It worked unbelievably well on my horse. I always have some now in the barn in the fridge. In the States you can buy it at the grocery store. I always have it around. When I show I begin giving it a day or so before and a couple of days afterward. I give him a lot (2-3 grams per day) and it really seems to help. I was amazed. And also about how it helps me. If you have ever had herpes on your nerves (basically shingles) you know how bad that can be. It is very painful. My horse has it in his central nervous system too. It effects the ils joint and hence the movement in his hindquarters (with most horses you can see it in the left hind). Can be very bad and is very painful. I am sure that many horses have it and have never been diagnosed. Approx. 80-90% of all horses in Europe (and certainly also the same in the states) have the herpes virus latent in their systems - the virus can have several forms however, so if you think it might be effecting your horse look it up and ask your vet for a herpes titer." Worth a try. Maryanne On Dec 15, 2006, at 6:19 AM, Lynne Glazer wrote: Suspected equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) at Wellington, FL, where the English competitors winter.
