Photosensitization in horses? How miHealth and Liver Digest made the difference
Share
What do you do when your horse suddenly can't walk anymore and no one immediately knows why?
Customer story:
We found our horse Snapchat kicking in the pasture. He could no longer walk and kept falling over. What followed was an intense period of uncertainty, research, and ultimately a clear diagnosis: photosensitivity due to liver overload.
But what really made the difference for us?
The combination of a miHealth scan, miHealth treatment and the detoxifying herbs of PRO DHM (Liver Digest)
Sudden neurological symptoms in our horse
That morning was pure panic. Snapchat couldn't stand up without falling over. We trailered him to the stable and immediately called the vet.
Initial suspicions pointed to a brain or neck problem. But there was no certainty.
When a horse suddenly exhibits neurological symptoms, there are many possible causes. And it's precisely this uncertainty that makes quick and targeted action so difficult.
The miHealth scan immediately provided direction
Because we were already working with miHealth through Marijke Van de Walle, we decided not to wait. We immediately scheduled a scan.
The results were strikingly clear:
Stomach andliver emerged as the highest priorities.
That gave us something we desperately needed at that moment: clarity and what to do.
Instead of searching in the dark, we could provide targeted support where his body was most overloaded.
Liver Detox with PRO DHM Herbs - Liver Digest
We started immediately with:
- Treatments with the miHealth device based on frequencies
- 2x daily Traumeel
- 4x daily Acute Trauma program on the miHealth device
- A targeted liver detox with the detoxifying herbs of PRO DHM
PRO DHM herbs support the liver's natural detoxification function. They help the body eliminate waste more efficiently and support the recovery process when the liver is overloaded.
What gave us hope:
Snapchat continued to eat well
His fever quickly disappeared
His general condition improved visibly
With liver overload, you often see vague symptoms such as lethargy, fever, or reduced immunity. Thanks to the scan, we were able to immediately address the real cause.
The diagnosis: photosensitization in horses
After about three weeks, severe burns appeared on his legs.
The vet finally made the diagnosis: photosensitization.
What is photosensitization in horses?
Photosensitization occurs when certain substances in the body make the skin — especially white skin — extremely sensitive to sunlight.
This can be caused by:
- Eating certain plants in the pasture
- A poorly functioning or overloaded liver
When the liver cannot process waste products sufficiently, certain substances accumulate in the body. Sunlight activates these substances, leading to painful skin burns.
And that is precisely where the core of the problem lay with Snapchat: liver overload.

Why we believe in miHealth
The miHealth scan immediately pointed to the stomach and liver as a priority.
This allowed us to:
- Initiate targeted liver support
- Using detoxifying herbs from PRO DHM
- Supporting the body through frequency therapy
- Respond more quickly to what was really needed
- We didn't lose any precious time.
For us, miHealth is not a replacement for veterinary medicine, but a powerful additional support that helps to gain faster insight into what the body needs.
Liver problems in horses: often underestimated
The liver plays a crucial role in:
- Detoxification
- Metabolism
- Defense
- Skin health
- When the liver becomes overloaded, this can manifest itself in:
- Lethargy
- Fever
- Decreased performance
- Skin problems
- Photosensitization
Early support can make the difference between a long-term problem and a faster recovery.

This incident could have had a very different outcome.
Thanks to the combination of:
Insight through miHealth
Targeted liver support
The detoxifying herbs of PRO DHM
we were able to act quickly and support Snapchat where his body needed it most.
And that's why we believe so strongly in this approach.
