In response to "ILPH Warning over Alternative Footcare Treatment"
from the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH)
Press Release from Dr.med.vet.Hiltrud Strasser
1. I, Dr.med.vet.Hiltrud Strasser, am both a licensed veterinarian and an examined
horse breeder. Furthermore, I am a long time horseowner (in own responsibility),
and also with my family for 20 years or more a hunting rider. Means: I have
more knowledge and experience with horses than most of my colleagues.
2. All that I do and recommend to do on horses' hooves is the result of this
longtime experience, the knowledge from the university and my own research.
Nobody will find one point in my teaching, which is not in consensus with basic
veterinary medicine and science.
3. Never could one veterinarian give one argument, in which point my opinion
is not in consensus with the basics (anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry)
taught in the veterinarian universities.
4. There is one basic in medicine: to prefer the methods for healing treatment
which has the least side effects. This is, of course, the method without chemicals,
but with a high success.
5. Every day around the wourld (in the UK too!) horses are put down by the
recommendations from veterinarians, because official methods are not able to
help. Why will they not accept other (new) methods for help? Why do they give
a "Warning" against a method, which is demonstrated to be successful in these
cases?
6. Why does the ILPH react to an announcement from one veterinarian to one
other in such a way to give a "warning" in the internet and newspapers instead
of looking for the background?
7. It is not my fault that my colleagues don't like to accept me on their
conferences and don't accept my articles in veterinarian journals!
8. I would recommend the ILPH to read my books before publishing falsehoods
about me and contact me to hear the other side! Also please look into the internet
to find the reports about the successes in cases where the traditional veterinarian
medicine couldn't help!
9. I await an exact explanation, what do you think is wrong in my recommendations
for the horse owner? Your "warning" doesn't contain one exact point!
I look forward to hearing from the ILPH.
