Stiffness
I was introduced to Bioflow
magnets after trying to find
something to relieve the
stiffness in our five year old
gelding, who has raced over 60
times with varying success in
his life of flat racing.
At the beginning
of the year I noticed his
stiffness getting worse. I
bought the boots for his front
legs and after wearing them for
a month he raced again six times
and won four. His stiffness in
the morning has almost
disappeared. Magic! Thank you.

Tendon
Problems
'MAGIC'
boots are helping to heal a
horse that had been suffering
with a sprained tendon XE
"tendon" for over 18 months.
Nine-year-old
mare Deena, owned by former
England Young Riders champion
Samantha Jowett, had a promising
future before her injury. But
the sprain refused to fully heal
and the weakness remained.
Months later a
magazine article inspired
Samantha to try Bioflow Boots on
Deena, and she reported results
within days. "1
don’t know how it works but it
does," said Samantha, of Carlton
Forest Equestrian Centre. "We
were beginning to give up and
then tried the boots as a last
resort. The results have been
amazing."
"The farrier is
visiting tomorrow and Deena is
having her first shoes since
May," added Samantha. "This will
be her first step
back to a career in show
jumping."

Recovery -
Fracture
I'm writing to
let you know of the success I've
had using a Bioflow on my two
year old horse. At six months
she fracture XE "fracture" d a
bone in her foot causing very
slight lameness XE "lameness" ,
at this stage undetected on
X-ray. It was, therefore,
thought that the problem was due
to an imbalance in the growth of
her foot, so a remedial farrier
was called to assist. This
aggravated the situation leading
to a dramatic increase in
lameness and referral to
Liverpool University Veterinary
Hospital where
the fracture then showed on high
powered
X-ray equipment.
Although healing was well
underway, it was thought
arthritis XE "arthritis" could
be setting in. An injection into
the joint and rest followed,
with no
improvement.
At eighteen
months old no more could be
done! The foot was losing its
function of pumping the blood
back through lack of correct
contact with the ground. I
believe that through the use of
Bioflow and controlled levelling
of the foot, the blood supply
has increased to the damaged
area and has not only arrested
the situation but appears to
have regained the foot's correct
function and she is no longer
lame.

Ligament
Problems
XE "Ligament"
I thought that I
should write and thank you for
introducing me to the Bioflow
for pets in the light of Aldwick
Colonnades win at Fontwell on
April 10th. As you know Aldwick
Colonnade is no spring chicken
in equine terms and sustained a
badly strained ligament in 1996.
The vets were convinced this
would end her racing career; but
ever the optimists we gave her a
rest and started to race her
again in January this year.
After the first
couple of runs I feared that my
optimism was misplaced and the
vets were right because her
injured joint felt very warm and
she was not happy on it.
At that stage I
tried the Bioflow by attaching
it to the area just below her
joint. Nearly immediately the
joint began to feel better and
she went on to race in more
comfort eventually winning in
April. Whilst this was the first
time I have used Bioflow on a
racehorse I am convinced that in
this case it helped the
circulation XE "circulation" in
the area of the old injury which
in turn helped the mare remain
sound. It is a simple device but
with a logical effect and I will
certainly be trying it on other
horses.

Earlier this year
my 20 year old horse, Heidi, was
crippled due to navicular, which
she has now had for seven years.
On four butes a day she was
hardly able to walk, and I began
to believe that I would have to
have her put down.
Then I was told
about your boots, so I bought a
pair. After three days Heidi was
completely different and once
again her old self, dragging me
to the field.
I'm not saying
that she is completely better,
but from four powders a day she
now only needs one every other
day, and is able once again to
enjoy life.

Laminitis
In the middle of August '97 I
purchased a pair of Bioflow
Boots to use on my 13.2hh pony,
which had got stress laminitis
XE "laminitis" . The vets had
not been able to solve any of
the problems that had developed
and when the Bioflow was
suggested I was sceptical.
However, I followed the
instructions and started leading
the pony for twenty minutes
daily walking exercise in the
field. After four days, the pony
wanted to go at a faster pace
and it was hard to keep hold of
the headcollar.
At this point I
realised the boots were working
and the pony was beginning to
recover after a long period of
ill health. Last month
(September) she was back to
being ridden normally and was
also jumping over four feet.
Thanks again for the Bioflow
Boots.

Haematoma
A thoroughbred
filly arrived at our
convalescent yard three weeks
ago, having fractured her
pelvis. She hada
haematoma from the stifle to her
hoof and on her belly. The
injury was very serious indeed,
the swelling appalling and the
vet was prepared to ‘let her go’
if there was no improvement
overnight.
A friend had lent
me two Bioflow tendon wraps and
as we were unable to move the
filly to hose the leg, we used
them as an alternative. The
results over the first few days
were dramatic – the lower part
of the leg reduced from a
diameter of 15 inches to nearly
normal. The hock and the
swelling on her belly took
longer, but after ten days all
her legs were normal. As the
filly is still immobilised, we
use the pads at night, and have
managed to maintain her legs in
good order. Hopefully the
Bioflow pads will also be
helping the recovery of her
fracture.
I had not used
your product before, but now
have two sets on the yard, as I
am sure they will be a great
help to the many and varied
injuries with which we are
confronted. I also use a Bioflow
now, and no longer suffer from
headaches.

Arthritis
I
write regarding the Bioflow
horse boots I recently purchased
for my eight year old Irish
Draught Gelding "Freeman".
For the past 18
months Freeman has been on two
daily doses of Bute and has been
unable to compete due to
arthritis in his two front
fetlock joints. Without the
daily doses of Bute this horse
was a virtual cripple.
Within one week
of fitting the Bioflow boots (he
wears them from 8 pm - 8 am, 12
hours as per your instructions)
he was taken off the Bute
totally; with no discernible
relapse in his condition. Now
some three weeks on this horse
is unbelievable, he is as sound
as a bell - much happier and
with no changes to his diet. He
is noticeably much fitter as
though 'corned up'.
It is my
intention to bring Freeman back
into light competition -
something I could never possibly
have contemplated had it not
been for my introduction to
'Bioflow' boots.
These boots have
proved a great investment - to
once again have a happy sound
horse and more money in my
pocket (as it was costing me
£32.00 per month for Bute),
within two months the boots will
have paid for themselves! I
would be more than happy to
recommend this product to
anyone. Many thanks.

Arthritis
I
am so pleased with my Bioflow
boots that I bought for my 27
year old horse, who I had
retired due to arthritis. I have
been able to start riding her
again after a couple of days
using the boots. She has now
been using them for a month and
it is going very well. I am
buying another pair for my other
horse that has ringbone, and
hope to have the same success
with her.

Arthritis
WHEN Jo Milnes was struck down
with sciatica XE "sciatica", a
friend knew the perfect answer
to ease her pain.
She was told to
wear a Bioflow, and within days
found the trick was working. So
when her prize winning 17
year-old horse Rupert began
suffering from XE "arthritis"
arthritis following an accident,
Mrs Milnes knew what to do. She
fitted the gelding with special
magnetic boots, and now the
horse is back on the winning
track.
Mrs Milnes, 30,
of Westwood Cottage. in the
village of Thornholme, near
Bridlington, believes her
horse's arthritis XE "arthritis"
resulted from an accident 11
years ago when he put a leg
through the side of a horse
trailer, injuring him so badly
that he was nearly put down.
Rupert recovered and was soon
enjoying success in show jumping
events.
However, last
November, Mrs Milnes noticed
that her horse was not quite so
perky and that he appeared to be
stiff. So she decided to fit him
with Bioflow boots.
The horse
improved within a couple of
weeks and even won two classes
at a riding show.

Leg Problems
A month ago we were seriously
thinking of having my horse,
Rippling Amber, a 21 year old
Arab gelding, put down. He had
many problems, his hind legs
would swell when he was stabled,
they would get so hot and sore
that they would burst into open
sores. He was lethargic,
miserable and lastly he had a
nasty rash in a rather awkward
place.
As a last resort
I purchased a pair of Bioflow
Boots. Well, we can't get over
the transformation. His legs
don't swell anymore or overheat
and his rash is almost better.
As for his energy XE "energy"
levels, he is behaving like a
five year old and l just can't
seem to tire him out.
