Tuesday, 27 October, 2026
Ozone therapy for horses — what is it, how does it work, and is ozonated glycerin actually better than traditional ozone therapy?In this episode of the Western Hippie Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Mark DePaolo of DePaolo Equine Concepts. I went into this conversation skeptical. There are so many gimmicks in the holistic space, and my question going in was simple: is Ozactin actually worth it, or is it another way to gatekeep ozone therapy?We talk about what ozone therapy is, why traditional IV ozone gas can be so hard to use in practice, and how ozonated glycerin — Ozactin — is different, including IV, nebulized, topical, and oral uses.In this episode, we cover:What ozone therapy is and how Dr. Mark first started using it with horsesWhy horses sometimes cough out or detox IV ozone gas, and why he says the body receives ozonated glycerin differentlyOzonated glycerin / Ozactin for performance horses, maintenance doses, and chronic inflammationEPM in horses: what it is, why Dr. Mark sees it as an immune problem, and early signs like right hind weakness or a horse that feels different in the back than in the frontWhy EPM is sometimes misdiagnosed as a stifle or hock lameness issue, and how to do a basic neurologic exam at homeEHM vs. EHV-1, and what makes them differentColloidal silver for horses and Dr. Mark's neurologic kit approachDr. Mark's perspective on yearly horse vaccines, cellular immunity, and heavy metalsSoy, leaky gut, and malabsorption in horses — and why feed ingredients matter more than the front of the bag suggestsHair mineral analysis for horses and dogs, and why we're saving a deeper dive on that for part twoWhat he's seeing with dogs too, including arthritis, tumors, and seizure casesIf you have a horse with unexplained lameness, neurologic symptoms, chronic inflammation, or you're just trying to understand ozone therapy before you spend money on it, this one's for you.Dr. Mark's info and links:https://www.depaoloequineconcepts.com/If this episode helped you, please rate, share, and subscribe — it helps get this information to the pet and horse owners who need it most.This episode is for education only and is not veterinary advice.
