Silver Lining Herbal Testimonials

#17 COLIC EASE & #22 BREATH EASY To say the least I was a skeptic when I heard Mickey tell of the great things that had taken place with the herbal supplements, and was only being polite to tell him that I would like to try them. I told him that I had a mare that had a colic problem and wondered if he had anything that would help her. He said he had a mix that worked wonders on colic and he would send me some if I wanted him to. I told him I would like to try it for a while, so he sent me a pound which I immediately started my mare on. This was a mare that would colic for no apparent reason and, at times would hurt so severely that I thought she was going to die before I could get the vet out to give her a shot. When I started her on the Colic Ease she got to the point that she does not have a colic problem any more.The same mare would sometimes bleed profusely from the nostrils when we ran her hard, and as she is a very nice barrel horse, she does need to be run hard if we expect to win. So, after we had such good results with the colic I decided to try the Breath Easy on her and see what I could do about the bleeding. To my great delight, she has gotten completely over her bleeding problem. Needless to say, we have been sold on these herbal supplements. We call Mickey for his nutritional help frequently and he is always eager to help us out.

#10 TRAINING MIX, #11 BRAIN COOL & #18 JOINT SUPPORT

Dear Mickey,

We have only met once but you have made my whole year. Judy Gillum called you and had you send your products to me for my mare Tuck. There was an instant change(well maybe a week went by). We won the Sharon Camarillo Classic and Placed 3rd in the standings in the Sr. Pro 60's Barrels. I started with 1/4 tbs of the #10 & #18 each day, within 2 weeks she had bulked up quite a bit in body mass and had become allot stronger in ability in her workouts but still staying light in the bit. It feels great. As time went by I have had to increase the dosage to 1 tbs daily to keep her at the same level as the beginning. She has seemed to level out and stay ok on the dosage.

I bought a 2 yr old filly, unbroke about 4 months ago, she had been neglected and was scared of everything. I started her on your #11 the day she got here. Within 3 or 4 days she settled right down. She will now stand for clippers and I have her started well enough to start beginners classes of our local reining's. (good start for the barrels in a couple of years) I really believe it would have taken allot longer to achieve this improvement without you.

#21 BRIGHT EYES & #20 KEEP COOL 5/4/01

I have an eighteen year old gelding that I was showing in cutting, who was diagnosed with pre-cataracts in 1995. Last year I was forced to retire him, as his eyesight had deteriorated so badly, especially in his right eye. I met Mickey at a cutting in Baker City, Oregon last summer (2000) and told him that not only was my horse losing his ability to see, but was becoming extremely agitated in the process. We put him on the #20 Keep Cool and the #21 Bright Eyes. His disposition became much better and last month I had his eyes reexamined because it seemed like he was seeing more. His left eye was completely clear and his right eye showed only a slight trace of cloudiness but the lens was clear. I had his shoes put back on him and am riding him again. Not cutting but certainly have not ruled that out. Teresa Clark - Santa Rosa, Ca. 10/22/01

Dear Mickey: As a follow up to the letter I sent you a few months ago, I wanted you to know that I am once again cutting on Amos Malfec. Amos was diagnosed with cataracts and was almost blind in his right eye. His disposition became extremely agitated and I was forced to retire him from any riding.

We put him on the Bright Eyes, and the Keep Cool for eight months. As his disposition improved, so did his eyesight. As I reported to you several months ago, upon his last exam, the cataracts are gone.

I am back to cutting on him and he is teaching a nine year old girl to ride. I have my old friend back, completely.

Thank you,

#25 INFECTION FIGHTER

We had six head of ranch and cutting horses on our ranch that came down with a terrible illness that had the veterinarians in our area baffled as to what had happened to them. We contacted vets from the University of Idaho and Washington State University and had them give us their input as to what they thought was the problem, all roads seemed to lead to a dead end. After doing some tests they finally determined that the horses were victims of botulism contracted from the haylage we had been feeding them. The vets gave them a number of shots and after a couple of days we had lost two of the horses and had two more that looked like they were going to follow suit. We had heard about the herbal supplements that Mickey was mixing for livestock and thought we would give them a try as nothing else was working up to this point. We called Mickey and he came right down and checked our horses and told us what he thought we should feed them, and then he went home and mixed us up some of what he thought we needed. We were very dedicated in our administration of these products and it was a few days of not knowing whether or not we were going to win the battle but the horses got over the problem and all became sound.

#37 KIDNEY & #23 LAMINAE RELIEF

Mickey,

I would like to take this time to thank you for starting me on your herbs. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed that the condition that our mare had could be reversed.

Let me give you a brief history of the condition:

On September 9, 1999 we had Dr. Alan Clark in Albion, Idaho x-ray the front foot on our three year old mare. The x-rays showed a coffin bone rotated at 9 degrees. Mickey started the mare on his kidney herbs on June 17, 2000 to clean her kidneys out. On July 21, 2000 he added his laminae herb in order to strengthen the laminae in the hoof and pull the coffin bone back to normal. January 22, 2001 we had Dr. Clark rex-ray the hoof. We were very happy to hear that the coffin bone was rotated less than 2 degrees. Dr. Clark considered that coffin bone to be normal. We were able to sell the mare in March of 2001 for her full value. I am convinced that without the herbs, the rotation of the coffin bone would not have been reversed. Again Mickey I would like to thank you for your herbs and the knowledge of using them.

Sincerely,

- Ron E. Rose

#10 TRAINING MIX

Last winter was particularly rainy, so the paddocks were unusually muddy for most of the season. Despite all of my best efforts, the horses had chronic scratches from standing in the mud. In addition, the slightest nick or little cut anywhere on the horses' legs was likely to result in cellulitis where the leg would swell all the way up to the knee or hock. One horse even started to get ring worm. When I added the # 10 Training Mix to the horses' feed, EVERYTHING cleared up. After a week of the same topical treatment, that hadn't worked before, the scratches were gone on all three horses and never returned. The ringworm cleared up on the one horse. There wasn't another case of cellulitis for the rest of the season, despite the usual run of cuts, scrapes and nicks. I was so pleased with the effects of the # 10 Training Mix through the winter, I have kept the horses on it this summer as well. After the annual spring vaccinations, I eliminated all the quarterly boosters. Despite a rigorous training and show schedule as well as exposure to countless other horses at the shows, all my horses stayed healthy.

CUSTOM COMBINATION

It was calving season, and I was getting some of the cows and calves in the corral to get a better look at some of them. One of the cows had hidden her calf in the brush, so I and my wife were down looking for the calf when one of my children came looking for us. She said we had a cow stuck in the panel at the corral, so we went to see what the problem was.

When we got there we found one of the heifers that we had put in the corrals, (which were made out of portable panels) had put her head through one of the feeder panels and began pushing until she had pushed the panels into a long diamond shaped pen, which had then tipped over on her head and she was laying on the panel that her head was through. She had been in this predicament for about an hour when we got to her and she was about dead. We hurried and got the back hoe and picked her off from the panel and got her laying upright, but she could not get up. I and my brother considered just butchering her and salvaging the meat but I hated to orphan the calf so I decided to try to save her.

I ran into Mickey the following evening and told him what had happened and asked if he had anything that would help her. He said he thought he did and wanted to know if I wanted it that night or if I wanted to wait until morning. I told him that morning would be fine.

As it was raining and quite cold I covered her with a tarp that night to try to keep her body heat regulated, and the next morning I went to Mickey's office and picked up some herbs that he special mixed for me. I went directly home and mixed up a pretty good dose and pasted the cow that morning and again that night. The next morning, which was the third day after the initial accident, the heifer was up when I went out to feed. Although she has a stiff neck she is going to be fine, and raise me a calf this year.

I never thought this cow would ever get up again, nor did anyone that saw her. But these herbal supplements did a good job.
