I’ve been in this equine EPM management group for all of two days and so far it’s just convincing me most of these people are just autism warrior moms for horses. Small animal practice is my primary arena so I was ready to come get some helpful advice I might’ve overlooked but I can’t find any because of all the fucking red flags reducing visibility

-let’s direct IV inject our horses with this guy’s patented ozonated formula! It’s not approved here and is illegal to manufacture and he’s profiting off it immensely and there are zero peer reviewed double blind studies available but that’s because of big pharma! Also this lady’s horse died mysteriously two weeks after treatment but no one is going to comment on that I guess? Also it’s a miracle cure! For all kinds of things! We suggest it for the lameness issue in your 3yo who hasn’t even been vet evaluated yet!

-information file stash referred to as ‘epm bible’

-hero worship of old vet guy who developed the protocol who mostly hangs around in the chats making typos and distressed noises about how people shouldn’t direct message him and all these people are just out to discredit him (unclear who)

-presidential alert! Dr grandpa and Dr Oz(one) are fightiiiiiinngggg!!

-people advocating killing every single bit of wildlife that comes near your barn so it doesn’t ‘reinfect’ your horse from pigeons to stray cats to possums (even though possums, as a potential epm disease vector, also are a primary tick control factor and Lyme is a common comorbidity of epm because it’s more likely to infect immunocompromised animals)

-while tacitly admitting some of this is probably illegal and assuming the sanctity of the giant Facebook group they joined with their real name protects them

-telling everyone that the spring flare of soreness and epm symptoms is solely or principally because of possum crap on rye grass reinfects them and not that, you know, increased sugars in the diet from grazing spike general inflammation and reduce immune activity, both of which ARE well-established and researched factors in managing a long term inflammatory immune condition and in many cases the infection will not or cannot be totally cleared due to the complexity of treating an immunocompromised animal with heavy antiprotozoal medications, reinfection is not necessary for recurring symptoms

-Dr oz(one) says it’s impossible for the placebo effect to affect animal studies because the animals don’t know about it! You don’t need studies because we have anecdotes! People famously never project their own hopes and dreams and interpretations onto animal behavior and condition!

-Dr Oz(one) doesn’t know what mechanism means and when questioned on it informs you happily with his copy paste that he has his formula available in three different forms! He will not explain how they work! Yippee!

imagine getting locked out of Tumbkr because you wanted to work on your focus to get your schoolwork. Turns out the app ain’t even that distracting

The mind-numbing boredom I feel in these hour long biweekly product meetings is akin to being forced to go to church on Sunday mornings and rawdogging the sermon with nothing more than my imagination but at least the sermon was never more than half an hour and it was only once a week

my mother (who is in her 60s) asked me about the bruce springsteen and taylor swift performance today… obviously there’s more dangerous forms of misinformation, but as a swiftie, it just drives it home

!!!!! It's indicative of a much bigger problem 🥴 Last year I had someone tell me they didn't like a certain politician because of a weird video they'd seen on Facebook and a 2 second Google search proved it was a deepfake. And now the people who DO bother to Google it have to get past the AI Overview.
