This is a response from a Veterinarian concerning smoke:
Sorry it’s a bit long but I feel it’s important. One of the main benefits of PEMF is supporting the the whole horse by increasing oxygen and blood flow via cellular health.
When a horse is asked to work hard and when adequate oxygen isn’t available, the body recruits anaerobic metabolism, which provides less total energy and can only use carbohydrate as a substrate. So, a horse with a reduced ability to bring in and transfer oxygen might have to switch to anaerobic metabolism sooner than a horse with a greater ability to deliver oxygen to muscle tissue. Any lung tissue damage will, therefore, have a negative impact on that horse’s performance capacity, so we should consider airway health in horse management, especially performance and when adequate oxygen isn’t available, the body recruits anaerobic metabolism, which provides less total energy and can only use carbohydrate as a substrate. So, a horse with a reduced ability to bring in and transfer oxygen might have to switch to anaerobic metabolism sooner than a horse with a greater ability to deliver oxygen to muscle tissue. Any lung tissue damage will, therefore, have a negative impact on that horse’s performance.
