My point here is this.....
No posts on this thread lead me to Credible research. HRNSW has yet to consider "credible research". That is why they have a threshold double that of HKJC who also have a threshold level for Cobalt Chloride.
When you speak of others naïve after a statement like above......Have you never considered a second opinion? especially when it comes to medical conditions of animals. Or can you talk to your animals???
The niavity of your comment about if you have a threshold all is OK.
The naivety lies with you. Thresholds exist because the element under consideration can / does exist within the normal bodily function/ makeup or metabolism of the animal. It is outside of that threshold that things can be considered to be abnormal. The other reason why thresholds are set is because the authorities are uncertain what they are dealing with. i.e. the scientific evidence is not available or is inconclusive.
The naivety is with you as I have not stated all is okay where you have a threshold.
Why have the authorities in the last few month made this threshold. I will give you the tip its not because someone came to authorities and said look guys I have this product and I think it makes horse go faster. It was because they were getting irregularities. Thats why they brought in the threshold.
Bicarb has a threshold, does that mean itsok and not being used??
