Equine sarcoid, thought to be due to the
bovine papillomavirus and/or autoimmunity, is a common affliction of horses that is notoriously
difficult and expensive to treat. The owner of this horse in the United
States used my wheatgrass spray once daily to excellent effect as can be seen in the
photographs. Complete healing was achieved in 5 weeks including hair regrowth
over the lesion. It had previously been treated with Cansema, a topical
application used in equine sarcoid. To quote the horse's owner: "Once
the lesion fell off, it was only a day or two later when I started
using the wheatgrass spray. It grew smaller right away - I was amazed! It
was probably a 2 x 3 (inches) wound that healed completely within a few
weeks. I don't think it would have healed this well without it. In fact,
he kept itching the original lesion and after applying the wheatgrass, he
never itched it again."
The powerful immune-enhancing properties of wheatgrass suggest that
the rapid healing seen here is most likely due to the auto-immune nature
of equine sarcoid. In humans, wheatgrass frequently excels in the
treatment of auto-immune skin disorders such as psoriasis.
Evidence of dramatic wound healing by the wheatgrass spray in horses and
other animals can be seen in the veterinary
trial on this website.
Note: I have received a number of reports that suggest wheatgrass extract is ineffective against the sarcoid tumour itself. However, once the tumour is removed, skin healing can be quite rapid as seen in this case.
