Beat Laminitis with Equine Podiatry Solutions!Beat Laminitis with Equine Podiatry Solutions!Who Is Derrick Cooke and Equine Podiatry Solutions? Equine Podiatry SolutionsLLC, founder Derrick Cooke, is well-acquainted with the challenges presented by acute laminitis. A farrier for more than 35 years, Derrick worked with a variety of disciplines, including cutting horses, reining horses, working cow horses, roping horses, sorting horses, and many others. Derrick studied biology and chemistry in college. He has been aggressively researching a solution to get ahead of acute laminitis by preventing damage in the acute phase since 2006. Equine Podiatry Solutions, LLC was established as an LLC in December of 2019 to develop innovative solutions to common problems of the domesticated horse. What IS Laminitis? Honestly, we hope you never have to find out! Having said that, Laminitis is currently the 2nd leading cause of death and the most expensive to recover from disease in horses. This is primarily because of flawed theory’s concerning the nature of the disease. In 1998 Dr. Pollitt discovered active matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP)that degrade the structures binding the lamina. MMP remain dormant until there is excessive free radical oxygen or peroxynitrite. Acute Laminitis is the perfect storm to activate the MMP. Inflammation will always produce reactive oxygen species and the lack of blood flow will create a buildup up Peroxynitrite .Desmosphyrine, offered by Equine Podiatry SolutionsLLCis a a superoxide dismutase that takes advantage of the instability of free radical oxygen and peroxynitrite. Desmosphyrine will turn both free radical oxygen and peroxynitrite to water before they build up enough to signal on the matrix Metalloproteinase. In effect Desmosphyrine tricks the MMP by creating a normal biochemical environment for the MMP! Derrick Wanted a Cure— Not Something That Would Just “Manage” Laminitis! Over the years, Derrick became more interested in the problem of acute laminitis and finding a possible solution. He read everything he could get his hands on and researched the biochemistry involved.“I wanted to solve the problem of laminitis in a manner that prevented damage in the Acute Phase, rather than managing it in the chronic phase.”Driven by the desire to provide long-term healing for horses suffering from acute laminitis- Derrick used his knowledge from his extensive college Chemistry courses to help create an actual solution to help prevent coffin bone rotation and put a Stop to Laminitis! You Need To Apply Our Desmosphyrine In The Acute (onset!) Of a Laminitis Attack! Our 3 day, 24 dose Desmosphyrine Treatment, should be on your shelf, because when Laminitis hits, you need to get it stopped almost immediately to prevent, permanent and irreversible results. It is in this phase that you will see your horse often rocking from front feet to back and hesitant to walk. It is in This Phase thatDesmosphyrine, offered by Equine Podiatry Solutions LLCtakes advantage of the instability of free radical oxygen and peroxynitrite to turn both free radical oxygen and peroxynitrite to water before they build up enough to signal on the matrix Metalloproteinase (which can cause rotation of the coffin bone). In effect Desmosphyrine tricks the MM P by creating a normal biochemical environment for the MMP and helps restore your horse’s hoof back to normal. What is the Difference between Acute and Chronic Laminitis? **Acute Phaseis the onset of Laminitis. The Acute phase is a condition where developmental pathways have accumulated enough to trigger a response from the horses body. They range from ingesting to much sugar or things that turn into sugar to internal problems of the endocrine system. There is inflammation in the lamina and damage occurs during the Acute phase. The goal of treating Acute laminitis is to minimize or prevent damage. ***Chronic Laminitisis the condition the horse is left in after the damage has occurred. The goal of treating Chronic laminitis is to Repair damage. This goal is remarkably difficult because the critical structures that suspend the bone column within the hoof capsule have been destroyed. The critical components of the extra cellular matrix (ECM) have also been destroyed; therefore, the scaffolding for the tissue and signaling properties of the ECM must be repaired first. If the horse reaches the Chronic phase 95% of the time the horse ends up dead or useless.
Acute stage of laminitis when carbohydrate overload was associated with the developmental stage is accepted to be 72 hours. When the developmental phase is associated with metabolic issues the Acute phase can last in excess of 4 weeks… the point is, you need ourDesmosphyrine KitImmediately… don’t wait! But… How Do I Know If My Horse Is Experiencing an Acute Laminitis Attack? The late Dr. Kauffman of the University of Missouri said it best. If your horse is pinned down experiencing pain on both front feet and reluctant to move. It is likely in the Acute phase of Laminitis. How Does The Desmosphyrine Work? Desmosphyrine turns free radical oxygen to water; therefore the enzymes responsible for separating the structures holding the lamina together remain dormant, thus preventing the collapse of the laminae, and preventing the coffin bone from dangerous rotation How Do I Apply The Desmosphyrine Treatment? Our Desmosphyrine is applied topically after clipping 1 inch above the hairline. It is massaged in the clipped area for approximately 30 seconds and the excess is coated evenly over the hoof wall. These steps are repeated on all 4 hoofs every 12 hours for 3 days when toxicity was the trigger. When a metabolic disorder was the trigger only the front feet need to be treated with a loading dose of a full packet administered to each front foot on the first day. The subsequent days 1/2 the dosing is applied to each front foot every 12 hours for 10 days. What Has Been The Success Record of Desmosphyrine? The success rate of Desmosphyrine in clinical trials has been95% effectiveat preventing rotation. 1 foot on 1 horse suffered just under 1 degree of rotation following 1 bout with high Acth levels, subsequently contracting Salmonella and a second Acute attack of laminitis triggered by Colitis all within approximately 9 weeks… this would be far from the usual case with Laminitis. Overnight Shipping Is Available, But It Is Smarter To Have Our Treatment ON Hand! Overnight shipping is available, but relying on that service is highly discouraged. We have found Overnight shipping over major holidays or during storms or hurricanes is not available. During November and December it is not guaranteed because of the demand placed on carriers delivering gift items. It is far better to have this treatment ON Hand. If you have several horses, ponies, Morgans, insulin resistant or overweight horses, this is a Must Have product on hand! Desmosphyrine 24 Dose Treatment— Only $600 To Stop Laminitis! Anyone who has had experience with Laminitis, knows that it can drain your bank account and your heart. Our 3 day, 24 Dose Desmosphyrine Treatment ,is only $600— and, when applied and used as directed, has (thus far) a 95% success rate. It is the most affordable “miracle of hope”you could possibly buy for your horse! It should be applied topically on all 4 feet every 12 hours for 72 hours. The proprietary superoxide dismutase works to preserve the desmosomal bonds of the lamina from the oxidative stress catalyze by MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-13, Adamts-4. Desmosphyrine uses Superoxide Dismutase to protect the basement membrane from Reactive Oxygen Species and preserves the Desmosomal Bonds of the lamina when caught in time

Rather than selling a barn-shelf remedy, the company is built around education and science-based knowledge to help the equine community understand the disease at its root. Its public face is the resource hub at beatlaminitis.com, organized into The Science, a Guide to Laminitis, About, and Reviews. The throughline is simple: understand the acute phase well enough to act before permanent damage sets in.![]() The company was founded by Derrick Cooke, a Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF) with more than 35 years under horses across cutting, reining, working cow horse, roping, and sorting disciplines. He studied biology and chemistry in college, a background that shaped how he reads the disease. Cooke began researching acute laminitis in 2006 with a defining goal in his own words: "I wanted to solve the problem of laminitis in a manner that prevented damage in the acute phase, rather than managing it in the chronic phase." That farrier-meets-chemist perspective is the reason the brand leans on mechanism rather than marketing. ![]() The science: why the lamina fails under oxidative stressEquine Podiatry Solutions frames laminitis as a failure at the lamina, the tissue that connects the hoof wall to the coffin bone. In the acute phase, oxidative stress and inflammation drive the breakdown of the desmosomal bonds within the lamina, while matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes digest the collagens that hold hoof tissue together. The company's research interest centers on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) mimetics — chemistry aimed at the swelling and oxidative cascade itself. Cooke has authored a paper titled "The Use of Mitochondrial Superoxide Mimetics to Help Acute Laminitis" and references a U.S. patent application under reference TH Ref. 410803-1010.![]() What the concept product targetsThe brand's concept product is positioned around two fundamentals it identifies in acute laminitis: that "all swelling involves oxidative stress," and the creation of a hydraulic system within the affected tissue. The stated aim is to prevent the breakdown of the desmosomal bonds in the lamina during the acute window, attacking the cause rather than only easing symptoms. The company is direct about its regulatory status, stating plainly on its own pages that "This product has not been evaluated by the FDA." Horse owners should treat the work as research-stage and always coordinate any laminitis decision with their veterinarian and farrier.Why acute-phase thinking matters to ownersThe Guide to Laminitis describes how acute signs — pronounced or slight lameness, rising hoof temperature, an elevated or "bounding" digital pulse, difficulty standing, and unwillingness to walk — can progress in the chronic phase to coffin-bone displacement, abscesses, weight loss, and, in the worst cases, the coffin bone penetrating the sole. The site notes laminitis ranks among the leading causes of death in U.S. horses. Conventional supports — hoof slings, rest, pain management, diet control, cold therapy, and farrier care — provide real relief, but as the company puts it, "they don't treat the cause." That distinction is the entire reason the brand exists.How to reach Equine Podiatry SolutionsThe company is based in Claxton, Georgia, and is veteran-owned.
