Collection: Cleanse

ActivateQi knows the importance of doing cleanses for optimal health for your horse's body. Our world is full of toxins and chemicals that our horses come across on a frequent basis. Horses also have reoccurring exposure to parasites and worms. Therefore making it important to rid these toxins and parasites to optimize your horses health and immune system. ActivateQi has two formulas that assist in cleansing these pathogens, cleansing the organs they may affect, and providing immune system support during this process. 

Remove - Remove was formulated to help remove heavy metals from your horse's body. It is beneficial to recognize the exposure of heavy metals that your horses come in contact with. The locations or manufacturers of where your horse's hay or grain is made or processed. Heavy metals can also be used as binders in grain products, found in contaminated drinking water, and can flow downstream into the fields of where goods are grown, affecting water and soil.

Common heavy metals are aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, copper, uranium, nickel, and lead. They can also be found in the air and environment, and even treated wood that horses may chew on. These heavy metals can all be passed through the placenta onto the foal, being passed down. Heavy metals can inhibit proper function of cells and tissues and can be dangerous with high accumulation in the body and organs. Your horse's body naturally has a protecting response to hide heavy metals in the organs and tissues. Remove helps expel these heavy metals out of the body. Since they like to hide in organs and tissues it is important to not only flush them out, but also cleanse the organs to rid them as well. If an organ is stagnate or lymph has blockage there is nowhere for the heavy metals to go to exit the body. 

Heavy metal symptoms may be fatigue, hormone imbalances, weak immune system, neurological disorders, tying up, infertility, stiff gait or muscle weakness, and the main symptom is elevated kidney levels due to the kidneys being overworked to cleanse the toxins out of the body, which may look like renal failure. 

Unfortunately in today's world the sources of toxicity continue to grow, so the potential of your horses being in contact with heavy metals will also continue to grow. Heavy metal exposure slowly takes time and months to even years of accumulation in the tissues of the skin and organs, to get rid of them can take time. 

Knockout - Knockout was formulated to help knockout parasites. Parasites can be found in water, grain, hay, or grass contaminated by the eggs passed through the feces of an infested horse. There are multiple worm and parasite cleanses on the market for horses, but ActivateQi strives to be different by cleansing the entire system, helping eliminate the root cause while supporting symptoms. Knockout can help by killing not only a wide variety of parasites and worms, but also their eggs without harming the stomach. Parasites have a 60-90 day lifespan depending on their life cycle, which is why we recommend 90 days. It is important to kill parasite eggs during the cleanse to avoid being reinfected right away.  Parasites are commonly found in the colon, however any part of the body can be vulnerable to infestation, so they can hide dormant in any organ or blood and skin. Therefore it is important to cleanse all the organs, and lymphatic system to prevent any stagnant or blockage, so they can exit the body and not hide. 

Some symptoms may look like dull coat, tiredness, lymph swelling/legs stagnate, skin rashes, loose stools, weight loss, stomach pain or tenderness, and worms in the stools. 

Knockout was formulated to help kill and dissolve parasites and their eggs, nourish and purify the blood, cleanse the organs, help an upset stomach during the kill off process along with decreasing muscle cramping or spasms, and alleviate abdominal pain. This formula also can stimulate lymph drainage, and support cognitive function while boosting the immune system and tonifying the primary qi.   

Cleansing these can be very beneficial but it is important to be aware of the possible herxheimer symptoms during a cleanse. Herx symptoms are die off reactions. During cleanses these heavy metals and parasites are dying off and are releasing neurotoxins, and toxins. These toxins enter the tissue cells, then go into the lymphatic system which helps filter your body's wastes. From there they head to your other drainage organs. Some detox organs can be blocked, which is why our formula helps to cleanse the lymphatic system and organs to prevent any blockage. If there is blockage, there is nowhere for these toxins to go. Herx reactions can be fatigue, swelling, increased GI upset, respiratory symptoms, and skin problems, itching, rashes or skin sores. Toxins can leave your body through the skin which can cause temporary flare ups. How your horse manages these cleanses will depend on the levels of heavy metals or parasites they have in their body, and will also depend on their cellular energy.

It is important to cleanse the body on a cellular level. These toxins can do damage to the cells. In order for the body to heal we need to restore the cell membrane, if cells cannot work properly the toxins cannot escape. Inflammation of the cell membrane also affects the way cells communicate, if we reduce the inflammation the body can use its innate ability to heal.  

Our formulas help open and clear the path for these toxins to exit, cleanse the entire system, and also provide support for the immune system to help avoid any herx symptoms. These take time to fix and these are not recommended as all year round products.
