Re: [RC] Yucca is in Red Cell - Truman Prevatt

Title: “I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience
Randelle,

I expect people give their horses more salicylates over the day of an endurance ride in the apple sauce they use to give their electrolytes in on the day of the ride than you gave in Red Cell or Dynamite Free and Easy for a week.

This has nothing to do about Yucca, Red Cell or Dynamite, it has to do with the pseudoscience used by the AERC to develop their drug policy.

A drug rule should be based on science - not pseudoscience. Sadly the AERC has chosen to not break with the past and much of the current rule is based on old wives tells and pseudoscience - independent of all the rationalizations you see coming forth by those with a special interest in the current rule because they voted for it - it is still based on a mixture of science and wives tales. Time to get rid of the wives tales and pseudoscience.

Folks, Just in case anyone cares, there is yucca in Red Cell..was doing a Google search to see if there was any information about the safety of Yucca useage in horses..and came across that info. I am sure there are many endurance riders who use Red Cell. Have not used it myself, but know others who use it on a regular basis.
 
I have used Yucca in the dosage that is included in Dynamite Free and Easy Joint Supplement for years..good results..no testing issues...but typically stop 3-5 days before a ride anyway...just to be safe.
