🧠 Summary:
EPMSD is the only product in this lineup that:
-
✅ Targets protozoa and blood-borne parasites
-
✅ Supports nerve and myelin sheath repair
-
✅ Follows a 90-day structured RBC regeneration cycle
-
✅ Includes botanical anti-parasitics, anti-inflammatories, and regenerative herbs
-
✅ Is suitable for long-term neuro-immune recovery
PowerPak = short-term gut wormer only.
Vet Protocols = powerful, but lack full-body recovery.
Herbal Brands A–C = general support, not deep protozoal clearance.
💬 From Paige:
“Not all dewormers are created equal. Killing gut worms is one thing — rebuilding a damaged nervous system is another. EPMSD bridges both worlds.”

📸 Photo Tips for Best Before/After Evidence
Tip | Why It Matters |
---|---|
Use same location & lighting | Prevents false comparisons from shadows or sun |
Take 4 angles weekly | See changes in emotion, stance, and muscle shape |
Don’t groom first | Shows skin, crusting, detox, and regrowth |
Use landscape orientation | Better visual comparison for social sharing and files |
⏳ Why 90 Days?
The Science Behind EPMSD’s Full Protocol Length
🩸 1. Red Blood Cell (RBC) Regeneration
-
Protozoa infect RBCs and tissue
-
Horse RBC lifespan = 90–150 days
-
Short dewormers don’t detox blood or kill cysts
✅ EPMSD:
-
Starves protozoa in blood
-
Detoxes debris
-
Rebuilds oxygen-rich blood over 3 months
🧠 2. Nervous System Repair = Time
-
Nerve damage = demyelination
-
Myelin repair takes weeks to months
-
NSAIDs too early can block true healing
✅ EPMSD:
-
Supports inflammation → blood flow
-
Aids nerve healing via MSM, silica, herbs
-
Allows slow remapping over 90 days
💥 3. Parasites Die in Layers
-
Die, mutate, cyst, resurface
-
Herx reactions often begin week 2–4
-
Short detoxes end before deep layers emerge
✅ EPMSD’s 3 Phases:
Phase | Days | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Days 1–30 | Starve + kill parasites, activate detox |
Phase 2 | Days 31–60 | Flush die-off, modulate inflammation |
Phase 3 | Days 61–90 | Rebuild nerves + regenerate blood + seal gains |
🦠 4. Organs Can’t Detox All at Once
-
Liver, lymph, and kidneys get overloaded fast
-
Pushing too hard = colic, ulcers, laminitis
✅ EPMSD:
-
Opens detox pathways gently
-
Prevents crashes
-
Supports appetite and emotional regulation
🧬 5. Whole-Body Healing Can’t Be Rushed
-
Many EPM horses carry years of silent inflammation
-
You need time for:
-
Gut reset
-
Nerve repair
-
Immune recalibration
-
✅ EPMSD gives the tools, time, and targets to rebuild completely.
💬 From Paige:
“You wouldn’t build a new barn in 5 days. So why try to rebuild a horse that fast? Detox, recover, and rebuild — the whole body, the whole blood, the whole nervous system. That’s what 90 days really does."
