Have you seen horses with asthma struggle to breath? It’s heartbreaking.
Today on Horse Mysteries Solved, I share why horses get equine asthma, COPD, RAO, heaves, etc.
All those “diagnosis” are really the same condition: A spectrum of breathing difficulties.
The podcast is not about medications, or diagnosis…it’s about why the horses have trouble breathing in the first place. And what you can do about it.
It’s not about dust, or pollen, or allergens.
The real cause in this podcast.

Summary by AI:
Dr. Renee Tucker discusses equine asthma and related conditions, emphasizing that these are different manifestations of the same underlying issue: an amalgamated toxin in the lungs. She explains that the focus of her talk is not on the specifics of medication but on understanding why these conditions occur.
Dr. Tucker highlights that traditionally, symptoms like chronic coughing are treated with medications without addressing their root causes. She recounts a personal experience with her friend from Romania, where asthma and allergies were not known, prompting her to question why these conditions are prevalent in some places and not others.
She describes how the lungs normally clear toxins through cilia and surfactant. However, when toxins become amalgamated and too heavy, they can’t be removed effectively, leading to inflammation and damage. This amalgamated toxin often originates from injections, such as vitamin K shots or vaccinations.
Dr. Tucker shares her experience with her son Noah, who developed asthma after receiving a vitamin K shot. She successfully used her Tucker Biokinetic Technique (TBT) to remove the toxins and alleviate his symptoms.
To address equine asthma, she suggests finding a TBT practitioner or becoming one yourself. She also invites horse owners to join her free Facebook group, where she will work on removing these toxins from horses’ lungs and plans to develop a herbal remedy in the future. Additionally, she notes that even if foals didn’t receive vaccinations or vitamin K shots directly, they might still be affected if their mothers did.
Dr. Tucker concludes by encouraging people to join her Facebook group for more information and support.

Dr. Renee Tucker. Today, we’re talking about equine asthma and also chronic coughing, COPD, RAO, HEES, all those things. I’d like to tell you two things that this talk is not about. One, it’s not about the differences between all of those because I really feel they’re all the same thing on a spectrum. Start off with chronic coughing, and then it progresses and can get different names along the way. The other thing is I will not be talking about medications. So there’s plenty of that on the internet. And really, if you want medication information, you should be talking to your veterinarian because it should be specific to your horse. But I would like to talk about why horses have this in the first place. Okay, if you don’t already know me, I’m Dr. Renee Tucker, as I said, equine veterinary for just about 30 years. I do holistic work, certified in chiropractic, acupuncture, and created my own energy technique, the Tucker Biokinetic Technique, or TBT. Okay, so what I like to do in this talk is unwind what’s been going on with equine asthma. And I’m just going to use asthma as an umbrella term, and I mean all the things in the title.
Renee (01:23)
Okay. First of all, a long time ago, we have been We’ve been trained to think, if I have a group of symptoms, then it must be a disease, and therefore, I must either need medication or possibly a vaccine. That’s just how we’ve been trained to think. So with coughing, if it’s a chronic cough and it gets worse with dust or pollen, or if it gets worse with exercise, that’s got to be asthma or COPD or something. Obviously, there’s differences between all those, but that’s another talk. So umbrella term, asthma. All right, we’ve been trained. We got these symptoms. It’s got to be that. It’s got to be asthma. That’s it. Okay, what do we do? We If you’re not asthma, we take medication and make sure you have an inhaler. How many movies is that in? Where’s the inhaler? Okay. Moving along, that we’ve been trained to think that way, because I think we all mostly know that. It’s I want us to unwind that. And let me tell you a little story about that. The unwinding. What started for me with the unwinding of this thought process is I have a friend. She’s still my friend.
Renee (02:42)
I met her decades ago. She’s from Romania. She moved here when her family moved here. We were on a hike, and she was asking me, What is this thing allergies? What’s asthma? What are you guys talking about? And I’m like, What do you mean? What are we talking about? Everybody knows. What’s asthma? Everyone knows that. And she said, There’s no word in Romania for asthma or allergies. There’s none. She said, I walked through wheat fields to go to school. Me and my friends, we saw all the flying pollen that you guys are talking about. No one coughs, no one has allergies, no one has asthma. What are you talking about? So that, at the time, I was just confused, and I thought there was a mistranslation. But it turns out they didn’t have it at the time. So that got my brain thinking, wait a minute. They don’t have it? How can you not have it? Weird, right? Okay. So add to that just the fact that we have these medications now that are helpful. And by the way, if your horse needs to breathe, you can use medications. I’m not upset about medication use, okay?
Renee (04:00)
It’s just I want to move us from I have these symptoms, so I need medication, to, I have these symptoms, let me find out why and fix that. I’m going to tell you why I’m getting there, But first, let’s talk about how the lungs normally work, and that I mean, how they normally get rid of allergens and stuff that’s in the lungs. Because we breathe in dirt and dust and pollen and all tiny particulates all day long. For example, if you’ve ever lunged a horse in a dusty area, you know how much dust is in your nose when you’re blowing your nose later. Okay? And That’s because we have some longer nose hairs that are designed to stop the larger particulates and just stop them there from getting to the lungs. What you may not know is those little hairs continue smaller and smaller all the way down your tracheia to the lungs. They’re not in the lungs, just to the lungs. We’ve got these little hairs in the tracheia or windpipe. They’re called cilia. C-i-l-i-a, cilia. And they are cilia because they are always doing the wave. They are always waving their hair. The little hair is going waving up.
Renee (05:26)
They’re always waving up the tracheia. It’s burying the larger particles that have landed on those hairs and move them up back towards the mouth. And when they get up to the mouth, we swallow them. And then they die in a pit of fiery acid in our stomach. All right, just a little dramatic effect there, but that is what happens. Now, aside from the cilia, that’s the one thing we’ve got for defense, we also have surfactant. Surfactant is like a film that covers the alveoli of the lung. The alveoli are the smallest parts of the lung. You got your tracheia, your bronchi, your bronchioles. It’s all branching out like a tree. Then at the end, you have these cute little alveoli. You know on a microscope and a slide, they look like tiny pink broccoli. It’s so adorable. Okay, so the tiny pink broccoli is where the gas exchange happens, where the oxygen The engine is taken into the alveoli and the carbon dioxide has gone out, and that goes into the lungs. Meanwhile, this little pretty clear surfactant is like a film, and if there’s any dust down at the alveoli level, the surfactant then moves like a river and carries the dust up and out again towards the mouth.
Renee (06:55)
That is what’s supposed to happen. Whenever we breathe in, it’s got to back out. And so we’ve got surfactant and cilia that move things that aren’t supposed to be in the lungs out. So what can happen? Let me give you an example. You may have heard of When you have a smoker’s cough. So people who smoke cigarettes, they don’t cough generally a lot during the day. I don’t know a lot of smokers, sorry, but I am familiar with smoker’s cough. In the morning, smokers who smoke regularly cough a lot. They are coughing, thick mucusy, coughing. They don’t want to cough because it’s uncomfortable and it doesn’t tend to stop very quickly. And it doesn’t stop until they smoke another cigarette. That’s smoker’s cough. It’s only in the morning and it stops when you smoke. What’s happening? Stuff that is in the cigarette itself stops stops the cilia from doing their wave. All day long with the smoking, they are paralyzed. They cannot do their wave. So the stuff accumulates in the lungs until the person is sleeping. So then the body is like, Okay, we can all work, and they are just shoving the stuff up as fast as they can.
Renee (08:20)
And then when the person wakes up, then there’s all this phlegm and gross stuff that the body is trying to get rid of. So So that’s the idea of smoker’s cough, that there is a toxin and that it paralyzes part of the body’s lung defense. But the smoker thing, it’s temporary. It’s only while you’re smoking in a little while after, and then it goes away. So then what happens when we have another toxin? Let me just cut to the chase here. What’s happening with all this asthma, COPD, blah, blah, blah, it’s all a spectrum, is we have a toxin in our lungs. And it’s not just any toxin. It’s several toxins, and they are amalgamated together At the molecular level, they are all connected, stuck together, and they’re too heavy for their surfactant to get them out. They are stuck there. These amalgamated toxins then, they’re interesting because they have an affinity towards a lung tissue, which means they love lung tissue. However they get in the body, they go to their lungs. And if the lung tissue that they’re nearby or on, really, if that gets inflamed, irritated, scar-tissued, it no longer is lung tissue.
Renee (09:55)
The toxin just moves on to more lung tissue. This is this syndrome, if you will, of asthma tends to progress because there’s all this lung tissue that’s getting damaged, inflamed, scarred, and this amalgamated toxin moves on. Kind of evil, really. Okay, let me see. Sorry. You may be wondering why these toxins are not taken out by the liver, which most toxins are dealt with with liver and liver process. Because this amalgamated toxin, it loves lung tissue. So the body can’t pick it up and take it to the liver. It is stuck, stuck in the lungs, the lining of the lungs. When this toxin is near the lungs, as I mentioned earlier, it gets irritated, inflamed. The surfactant thickens. Plus, then you have all the inflammatory products from the immune system who’s trying to help. Because when the surfactant cannot get this stuff out, it’s like, Hey, immune system, I need help. I can’t get rid of this. So now you have the immune system, so that’s more inflammatory products. Everything gets thickened and there’s way less ability for the body to actually do the gas exchange, i. E, breathing and getting oxygen. It can’t. Luckily, there’s plenty of lung service.
Renee (11:28)
There’s lots. So we just need to basically stop this toxin from being there and destroying stuff and traveling to the next part of the lung and destroying the next part. By the way, it can all be fixed. Don’t worry. Now, you may wonder how these toxins get there. Well, I’m going to tell you, because it’s an amalgamated toxin, it’s not like a whole bunch of toxins get together and decide to form a band. No, they’re put into the body as an amalgamated toxin. And those are injections. So they are in either or both the vitamin K-shot or vaccination. That’s where it’s coming from. Let me tell you a little story. My son Noah, who was just turned 15, when he was a baby, I had a C-section, but he So he was born, okay? I did not want any shots on this baby, ever. But I had a C-section, and I was just so exhausted and tired, and they pressure you and bully you. And I love a lot of nurses, but sometimes some of them are awful. And they told me how babies die if they don’t get this vitamin K shot. So finally, I gave in and said, Okay, fine.
Renee (12:53)
Give them the… Because it’s okay, okay. It’s just a vitamin, right? But it’s not a vitamin. Well, there might be some vitamin in there, but it’s something else entirely. You can actually research this, not Google. Okay, Google is in bed with big pharma. They suppress all the good information that we want to know. So you need to look elsewhere to research. My point being, if you research, you will find the vitamin K shot for human infants has a 40%, 40% of the time, the infant just born will I’ll go into respiratory distress, which is what happened with Noah. He was perfectly fine for 20, 30 minutes. I’m not quite sure, but a while. They gave him this vitamin K shot, and he’s in respiratory distress, and he’s whisked off, and he’s off into the oxygen tent, and they’re doing whatever it is they’re doing while they’re trying to get me happy and healthy. And my husband at the time was with me, and I’m freaking out. I’m like, Go find that baby. Go find that Make sure they’re not killing him. Whatever I said, I don’t know. I was quite upset with the whole thing, as I’m sure you can imagine.
Renee (14:08)
But that’s 40 %, guys. Documented, 40 % of infants that get this shot have respiratory distress. What does that mean for the other 60 % that get that shot? Maybe they don’t go into official respiratory distress, but nonetheless, they’re getting the same thing that has this affinity for lung tissue. Fast forward, when Noah was about 11, he started in with a cough. First time, you don’t think anything of it because everybody coughs, right? All the horses, they cough, okay? They kept going. Kept going long My story, trying to short it for you, is it became an asthma cough. If anybody knows someone with asthmatics, and we’ve seen them on the movies, okay? It’s an asthma cough. In fact, his dear brother was calling him Asthma Boy. I mean, jeez, older brothers. Okay. So at that point, I was like, All right, this is definitely something, and I’m not going to the doctor because I know what they’re going to say. Well, here’s your diagnosis. You have these symptoms. Therefore, he has asthma. Therefore, here’s your medication. I’m just not going to do it. Again, no offense to anyone who’s gone down that road. You got to breathe.
Renee (15:21)
I got other options, so I worked on it. I worked on it using TBT. Like I said, it is energy work. What I did was essentially work to remove that amalgamated toxin. I’m sorry, it is hard to explain energy work. It is weird. But basically, all the molecules, they have atoms which have electrons neutrons, neutrons, protons, and they’re all zipping around with energy. And so as an energy working person, then I de-energize them. I just stop it. Stop it from moving. And when they don’t have the energy to hold together, they start breaking apart. And then there’s surfactant and the cilia and the immune system can go ahead and get rid of it. So Noah doesn’t cough anymore. Noah doesn’t have asthma. He’s perfectly fine because I got rid of the toxin that I found out was injected in him as a baby, which I’m still mad about, as you can tell. Okay, now, some horses, some veterinary do give vitamin K as a full shot. So your horse may or may not have gotten that. Some don’t. I don’t know about worldwide, but in the USA, some veterinary give it, some don’t give it.
Renee (16:36)
Okay, and it’s also in some vaccines. So we’re all getting this, what most sources are. And I said this in other videos or podcasts. Thirty years ago, when I started being a veterinary, the vaccines were not that harmful. It was okay. Now, I don’t know what’s changed. I don’t know what they’re putting in this stuff, but it’s really bad. So that’s the cause, people, is an amalgamated toxin in the lungs. It can’t be removed by the body. And so it damages the lung tissue, stops the exchange of gasses, i. E, breathing, and you’re stuck with trying to help the body open the airways and get the air in, which is not bad. It’s just now you know the why. And now you’re saying, well, what are we going to do about that? Am I right? Okay. Well, I have solutions for you. Okay. A couple of solutions. One, find a TBT practitioner and hire them. Two, you can become a TBT practitioner, of course. You’re all welcome. And then, here’s what I’m going to do, because I really want to get this solved and fixed and moving along. I have a free Facebook group. If you would like to post the picture of your horse in this group, I personally am going to work on it to remove these amalgamated toxins from the lungs.
Renee (18:09)
This is a temporary group because I want to work on people. My Horses, okay? And then once I have full information of a wide range of horses by doing this, then I am planning to create a product, just a herbal, energetical herbal thing that you can give to remove the toxins by feeding it to the horse. It’s not done yet, okay? That’s why we’re going to do the Facebook group first, then that. There may be other ways to get rid of this toxin with other alternative methods. I am not aware of them. So let me know if you have something that works. That’d be cool. Then I can tell people there’s other things, too. Okay. Meanwhile, I do want to say one last thing. You may think or know that your foal did not get this vitamin K shot. Or let’s say they didn’t get any vaccinations. But when a foal is in utero, so in the mom, if she has had the vitamin K shot or it’s in her vaccines, that toxin can actually travel from her lungs to the baby lung tissue because it has an affinity for lung tissue. It will travel there.
Renee (19:29)
And then people will think, Oh, that must be genetic. No, it’s not in their genes. It’s not. It just got traveled in the utero. Just a little aside right there. Okay, so that is all I think I have. Please check out the Facebook group. It should be in the description, and I will see you guys in there. There’ll be a little video of me telling you what to do exactly in the Facebook group, and I hope to see many of you there. Okay? All right. Talk to you later. Bye-bye.
We are looking for submissions for Dr. Tucker's "Featured Cases." If you have a puzzling case you want solved, we would love to post it to help others. Pictures needed, videos welcome. Email to support@wheredoesmyhorsehurt.com. Thank you.
