circulation . Below is a representative example from 5/25/2007.

The Hoof Boot was part of my daily regime on some of the top thoroughbred
race horses in the country.
The trainer gave me his best stakes horses to keep in top shape as well as
speed up healing the soreness and injuries from racing.

ED diodes are placed around
the coronary band to stimulate hoof growth and treat important acupuncture
points.
Diodes are also strategically positioned to help reduce inflammation from
bruising, increase blood circulation to counter the effects of laminitis and
accelerate the healing of absesses as well as the navicular bursa. Treatments,
too numerous to recount, have shown this boot to have profound positive effects
for a variety of disorders in the region of the foot and beyond. Any heat
or discomfort in the foot should be an immediate call for the Hoof Boot.

After receiving so many almost incredible stories of the positive effects
on foundering horses,
it saddens me to know horses are losing their lives with out even being given
the opportunity to get the essential increased blood flow that the boot offers.
I hope this will change with education. It may take one great horse to open
the horse worlds eyes.

The lights in the Hoof Boot are powerful and have helped many of my
horses.
It is a great product. Any barn with multiple horses should not be without
one.

I received the RevitaVet in December and have used them on several cases.
1. Two year Quarter horse filly with non-healing laceration on the
left carpus. The carpus was swollen, sticking out 2 ½ inches
beyond normal and a non-healing flesh wound 3 ½ in
diameter for a four month duration. I applied the RevitaVet to the
lesion four days in a row. After the first application I could see
the new skin growth. By the fifth day the flesh wound was only 1 ½
in diameter. In addition, the swelling had reduced. Two weeks
later the flesh wound was less than a ½ in diameter
Four applications
2. Twenty year old Quarter horse mare with a fractured medial splint
bone and soft tissue damage from the carpus distal to two inches above
the fetlock. She had caught the leg in a wooden fence. The skin was not
broken. She had grade 3 lameness. We applied the RevitaVet on her
leg three times, one week apart. The problem was 3 ½ weeks old
when I first saw it. There had been no improvement since the incident.
After the first application, the swelling was reduced and the lameness
was a grade 2. At the time of the second application, she had a grade
1 lameness with reduced swelling. By the third application, the mare was
normal with very little swelling. She was returned to regular riding activity.
The response after the first treatment was remarkable in light of the
previous 3 ½ weeks with no improvement. The mare is doing fine
thanks to RevitaVet.

Elephant
Veterinarian Elephant Case Treated
with RevitaVet Infrared Therapy

September 15, 2006
Recently, one of the elephants at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore sustained
a soft tissue injury in one of her ankles after taking a misstep.
The Zoo Elephant Team and Veterinary staff investigated several ways to help
heal the ankle as quickly and decisively as possible. As part of the treatment
regimen, we decided to use an infrared sports therapy device from RevitaVet
in order to speed healing of the tissue at the injury. Using this device in
combination with changes in the elephants exercise practices resulted
in a significant improvement of the ankle. The elephant is still undergoing
regular treatments with the infrared device, and we have seen the injury decrease
from affecting her 50% of the time when she was walking to now being only
barely noticeable about 10% of the time. As we continue her treatment schedule,
we anticipate a full recovery and have been extremely pleased with both the
effectiveness of the device and the ease of applying it.
