CPL<br />

lose.” Emily stated.<br />

On April 27th, 2016, Emily began<br />

to use Cytowave treatments exclusively<br />

on her horse. After only 4 days of<br />

treatments, Emily noticed the inflammation<br />

had decreased. After the first<br />

week, the inflammation in the rear<br />

legs and the Cannon bone size had<br />

decreased as well. The nodules and<br />

the folds were softer, not as hard to the<br />

touch and the Cytowave boots were<br />

easier to wrap around his legs due to<br />

the decreased swelling.<br />

The shift in her horse’s demeanor<br />

underscored that positive<br />

physical changes were taking place.<br />

“He was more relaxed and comfortable.<br />

When I let him out in the pen,<br />

he was more active, running and<br />

bucking,” Emily said.<br />

After eight (8) days, the inflammation<br />

and Canon bone swelling<br />

continued to decrease. The folds in<br />

the rear legs were not as thick and<br />

were separating. Folds and nodules<br />

were softer and more pliable. There<br />

was still some dampness and oily<br />

feeling in the creases of the back hoof<br />

area but overall, the lesions were<br />

drier and reducing in size. And for<br />

the first time in weeks she was able to<br />

massage his legs without any discomfort.<br />

“He really began enjoying getting his<br />

legs massaged after his treatments,”<br />

Emily continued. “Overall he just<br />

seems really happy. I did not realize<br />

how much the disease had slowly<br />

robbed him of his spirit over the<br />

years because it was so gradual. Once<br />

he started feeling better, I realized I<br />

was getting my old horse back!”<br />

In the span of 10 days, measurements<br />

showed that the swelling had been<br />

substantially reduced. The Canon<br />

bone showed the most dramatic reduction<br />

in size, with the left leg going<br />

from 12 ½” to 10 ½”.<br />

On May 11th, Dr. Royal evaluated<br />

Emily’s horse and he noted that the<br />

Cytowave treatments had drastically<br />

reduced the swelling and inflammation.<br />

He said her horse seemed to<br />

be in very good health and his BAR<br />

(Bright, Alert, Responsive) was<br />

excellent. He was in very good<br />

health, sound, with little sensitivity in<br />

the folds of his legs.<br />

“They were<br />

skeptical at<br />

first. Once<br />

they started<br />

to see results,<br />

it wasn’t too<br />

long before<br />

we heard<br />

from the<br />

Fenway<br />

Foundation.”<br />
