WHY IMMUNALL?

Horse breeders, trainers and racers aren’t afraid to confront challenges and take risks, but
risking the health of their animals is out of the question. The challenge of keeping horses
healthy is that so much of the world seems bent on endangering their well-being! Simply
traveling to a nearby show can place a horse under strain. Travel also places horses at risk
of illness, since it’s impossible to completely control surroundings that be contaminated by
sick animals. For horses, as for humans, it makes more sense to build a strong immune
system in the first place than it does to spend weeks or months fighting illness that could
have been prevented by simple precautions.

Responsible horse owners know that there are two things they must do to give a horse
every chance and maximal health: prevent illness or injury through proper care and
nutrition and address illness or injury promptly when it does occur. A good herbal
supplement can act as a prophylactic (preventive) measure and also be useful in cases of
acute illness—both situations that can be addressed by providing additional strength to the
horse’s immune system.

Strengthening the immune system can be baffling because horses have specialized needs.
One mare may have a tendency to yeast infections, which may compromise efforts to breed
her while another horse may have joint-related issues that cause swelling after exercise.
Some animals fight a chronic battle with digestion while others tend towards respiratory
problems. Allergies are another concern, and they can show up in nearly any bodily system.

How can you protect your horse against so wide a spectrum of potential ailments?
By giving a boost to the overall immune system with a good herbal supplement. Herbs have
long been known for their ability to positively effect the digestion, lymph processes,
cardiac function and energy-building of the body. Some herbs are natural fungicides or
have antibiotic properties that assist the body in fighting off infection. Some herbs help the
kidneys or liver process waste faster, hastening healing after stress or injury.

Many of Europe’s finest horse trainers have recognized that a product that provides
overall immune system building can help horses in breeding, racing, eventing and
recovering from injury or stress. They use a product called Immunall, which contains seven
herbs known for their immune boosting properties. Immunall gives horses support for
kidneys, liver and digestion. Immunall also acts as a preventive measure, as it contains anti-
fungal and anti-bacterial ingredients. Healing is facilitated as well, and some trainers
comment on how quickly their horses recover from races when they’re on a regime
including Immunall.

But perhaps most exciting is Immunall’s impact on horse fertility. Many breeders write in
with stories of mares who could never conceive before getting pregnant and delivering
healthy foals after starting on a program of Immunall. Lisa Dworkin of Irish Hills Farm put her
24 year old stud Le Santo on Immunall and every mare he’s been bred to so far came up
pregnant after only one breeding. Since Le Santo had a less than stellar breeding record
before that, Lisa was delighted. She also enumerated the mares she’s given Immunall to,
citing prior fertility problems, allergies and other health issues that had often prevented
their having conceived.

And she’s not alone. Mrs. Jessica Harrington, one of the world’s foremost trainers said, “I
am delighted with the results of Immunall and find it very effective on horses that run
below par.”
Other trainers and owners who use Immunall for their horses say that it shortens recovery
time after races, gives the animals more energy and stamina and helps them make the most
of their feed so they eat less but perform better.

So, what is this magical elixir?
Immunall isn’t magic! It’s just a highly effective herbal supplement, made of the extracts of
seven important herbs.
•        Allium sativum: Garlic
•        Uncaria tomentosa: Cat’s Claw
•        Eleuterococcus senticosus: Siberian Ginseng
•        Echinacea purpurea: Purple Coneflower
•        Juglans regia: Walnut
•        Carduus marianus V: Milk Thistle
•        Viola tricolour: Heartsease
Herbs all have different properties and research into herbs has shown that their
components affect a variety of bodily systems. After much testing and research, Immunall
was patented in 1999 in the U.K., and has received a great deal of notice from trainers and
breeders from England and Ireland. Recently made available in the U.S., Immunall has a
history of increasing the health of horses and other animals without man-made chemicals,
antibiotics or other typically medicinal ingredients.

Why Herbs?
Herbs were used in medicine long before the current pharmacopeia made broad-spectrum
antibiotics the primary disease fighters of this century. But the effectiveness of modern
antibiotics has become compromised by viruses that adapt to drugs by mutation, and more
people are returning to herbs to support health and fight illness. As an example, herbs like
garlic, lavender and tea tree oil are known antibiotics and fungicides, but are gentle
enough to use without the digestive issues that can result from broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Why to be Cautious using Antibiotics?
Aside from the new “superbug” viruses, which render antibiotics helpless, antibiotics tend
to kill normal intestinal flora, resulting in overgrowth of yeast, and inflammation or infection
of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Avoiding the use of antibiotics for minor
infection can prevent other, more serious problems, such as colitis. In cases where
nothing else will work, broad-spectrum antibiotics can save lives, but where a less-
powerful (or toxic) remedy will work, more veterinarians are looking for alternative
treatments. When antibiotics are used, Immunall can be used to restore balance and assist
in re-establishing healthy digestive processes.

The components of Immunall’s herbs provide support to many bodily systems. Milk thistle,
viola tricolor and heartsease support liver and kidney functioning; garlic and walnut
support intestinal health and promote healing in the digestive tract; hormone production is
regulated and the body utilizes glucose more efficiently. Echinacea fights bacteria and
helps cells recuperate from damage. Cat’s claw has anti-oxidant properties that can protect
cells from further damage.
