Men om du hellre will kalla det review article än opinion så kan jag väl nöja mig med det, även om det brukar omfatta bokrecensioner od.

Nej då kallas det book review enligt ditt eget citat ovan.
Här kommer mer värdelöst vetande (antar jag).
Vetande som inte är nytt i Strassers teorier men som enligt dig inte har stöd någonstans.

Results of a Large-Scale Necroscopic Study
of Equine Colonic UlcersFranklin L. Pellegrini, DVM
A necropsy was performed on over 500 horses from
a Texas abattoir for the presence of gastric and colonic ulceration.
A first group of 365 horses from a variety of
sources was examined,and 55% were found to have gastric
ulcers,while 44% exhibited colonic ulcers. A second
group of 180 performance horses was also examined,and
87% were shown to have gastric ulcers,while 63% exhibited
colonic ulcers.
I "short communication" i oktobernumret följs ovanstående artikel upp med följande:
“Ulcers in the colon can be a significant cause of colic for many horses,”
Andrews said. “Dr Pellegrini's research
reveals just how many horses may be affected, but the trouble
is that medications designed to work on stomach ulcers
just don’t provide relief or treatment in the colon.”
This suggests that an entirely different method of
treatment is necessary to help with colonic ulcers. Dr
Andrews suggests that horse owners and their veterinarians
consider implementing methods to decrease stress
and avoid use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
He also recognized probiotics and digestive aids as important
tools in helping the many performance horses that
may have colon pain
.//.......//“There isn’t a certain way to treat colonic ulcers at this time,” Dr Andrews said.
“The best option for horse owners may be to prevent ulceration by reducing stress,
assuring hydration, and using proper nutrients to support the health
of the entire digestive tract, including the colon.”

NSAIDs"
Researchers at North Carolina State University’s College of
Veterinary Medicine have investigated these drugs in horses
with colic-related intestinal injury.Their research has uncovered
previously unknown adverse effects: NSAIDs actually
retard healing of damaged gastrointestinal tissue.
//....//However, because these drugs are absorbed systemically
and are transported throughout the body via the
bloodstream, they reach unintended targets, where they
can have adverse effects. Specifically, there is increasing
evidence that 2 organ systems are particularly susceptible
to these drugs: the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys.
Jag vill förekomma här och skriva att jag inte är emot smärtlindring.

Dietary Factors in Laminitis.
Laminitis can also be caused by metabolic problems
such as equine metabolic syndrome (obesity and insulin
resistance), Cushing’s syndrome (overproduction of
corticosteroid hormones by the adrenal gland), and excessive
use of corticosteroids to treat inflammation.
//......//Corticosteroids inhibit glucose uptake in many tissues
by a direct mechanism that limits the movement of glucose transporters to the cell surface. Corticosteroids
can also trigger a complex series of short-term and longterm
hormonal events that limit glucose use of tissues.
Healthy hoof tissue requires glucose and uses it at an
exceptionally fast rate. Without glucose, or in the presence
of glucose uptake inhibitors, the connections between
the hoof walls (lamellae) and underlying structures
break down rapidly.

Dietary Protein Influences Acid-Base Balance in Sedentary Horses
Patricia M. Graham-Thiers, PhD,a and David S. Kronfeld, DVM, PhDb
Protein is often overfed to horses. Its acidogenic effect
as reported for exercising horses previously and
sedentary horses in this study is undesirable with respect
to metabolic efficiency. This effect may be another reason
to limit excess protein in the diet of the horse.
Dietary protein levels should be considered when evaluating
acid-base balance of horses, whether at rest or during
exercise (particularly intense exercise such as racing,
eventing, and maximal treadmill tests). Marketing and
formulation of feed products should begin to focus on
quality of protein and amino acid profiles rather than
quantity of protein, especially in light of the undesirable
effects of excess protein on metabolism—in this case,
acid-base balance.
