Is What We’re Being Taught Correct? - #065 The Horse’s Advocate Podcast

We are all students; we usually believe the teachers that teach us. Math was easy. 2+2=4, and there is no getting around that. The concept of zero, introduced about 300 AD, caused the extinction of the abacus and Roman Numerals but allowed for the advancement of science and trade. Before 500 years ago, teachers taught that the sun circled the Earth. Soon that changed unless you still believe the Earth is flat. Veterinary medicine, human medicine, and every other profession not using physics (engineering) come up with theories they test. But are the results accurate? For example, do plaques in the brain cause Alzheimer's disease or not? It depends on whose research you believe in and, more importantly, what doctored research makes the facts fit the theories. Horse owners are overwhelmed with conflicting "facts" about the care of their horses. Yet, an underlying theme of all the research I find is that everyone wants to treat a condition rather than discover the cause of it. After all, if we could prevent disease and injury in our horses, would veterinarians and human doctors still be relevant? ********** TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a website to learn about horses, horse barns and farms.
