Horse Medicine

in #earthnation7 years ago

Horse Medicine to the elders was medicine itself. Before the introduction of the horse to North America by the Spanish there were no horses there. In observing this new kind of animal they noticed that the horse would naturally go to what it needed in the wild to heal or otherwise feed itself healthy. So it's no surprise that anti-venom comes from horses as well. In the time I've spent with horses I have come to feel that they may know me better than I know myself. They're highly intuitive and I have learned from them a great deal.

"Snake antivenom, also known as snake venom antiserum and antivenom immunoglobulin is a medication made up of antibodies used to treat snake bites by venomous snakes.[1] It is a type of antivenom.

It is a biological product that typically consists of venom neutralizing antibodies derived from a host animal, such as a horse or sheep. The host animal is hyperimmunized to one or more snake venoms, a process which creates an immunological response that produces large numbers of neutralizing antibodies against various components (toxins) of the venom. The antibodies are then collected from the host animal, and further processed into snake antivenom for the treatment of envenomation."

Here's a picture and quote I resonate with and wanted to share found @ http://www.birdclan.org/horse.html

"Horse medicine is telling us all to spread our wings and fly and let the little ones who would suck us dry stand on their own two feet.
The horse shows both earthly strength and unearthly powers. It is regarded highly throughout the world and connected with the magical powers of shamans. With the help of the horse's speed, a person can cover long distances in a relatively short period of time. The horse has also made transportation of goods a lot easier. It is, therefore, the first and foremost totem animal of civilization. The power of an engine to this day is measured in horsepower."

Full steem ahead as we continue our journey into a bright new year.

Are you upvtoing your own posts before calling in a boost?

I didn't know that was a thing? @ensteemit

You've been doing before in posts and it's in the tutorials.

I had it set to automatically upvote my own post. LOL

Yeah, untick that. You have 1 organic vote to use per day but never use it on a boosted post. It potentially wastes the vote by "unvoting" if your vote is already used in the system. Use it outside of the Guild or sell it using our Tutorial.
