About Gold Standard Herbs
People who rescue senior dogs are true heroes, taking in countless sick and elderly animals and giving them the love and care they need. In today’s world, the cost of veterinary care is enormous. A few years ago, holistic veterinarian Dr. Steve Marsden felt compelled to get involved and help where he could.
He volunteered his time with rescues in the San Diego area, reasoning that if he could save them money, they could help even more animals. This was during the waning years of COVID, when the number of pets in need was overwhelming.
Each week, Dr. Steve examined and treated the most desperate cases at no cost. Maddening itch, severe pancreatitis, crippling lameness, complete paralysis, and profound stress—Dr. Steve found herbal solutions for all of them, cutting veterinary bills in half. These herbal formulas were true game changers, and the rescue organizations continue to use them to this day.
Dr. Steve soon realized that the problems affecting these foster dogs were common everywhere. If rescuers could use the formulas safely and effectively, so could the general public. This realization led him to share his formulas with our like-minded animal loving founders, which ultimately led to the birth of Gold Standard Herbs.
The skill and wide range of therapies offered by veterinarians will always be essential. When Gold Standard Herbs are added to a treatment plan, it becomes a winning combination for pets and the people who love them

Description
Supports healing of ligaments and spinal cord inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat arthritis, hip dysplasia, disc disease and ligament damage are very beneficial in the first few days following injury, but continued use of these pain relievers actually hinders long term healing, by cutting off the blood supply those tissues need to heal. Feeding of processed diets likewise interferes with joints and ligaments getting the circulation they need for their inflammation to resolve. If the situation continues, joints gradually deteriorate and may become thickened and permanently deformed.
Voltrex supports normal blood flow to joints and ligaments so healing can occur without compromising pain relief. As joints and ligaments heal over several weeks or months, anti-inflammatory drugs are needed less and less, which allows the pace of healing to accelerate. Meanwhile, other joints and ligaments on the verge of injury receive support as well, such that Voltrex supports the whole body becoming stronger and less prone to injury in the future.
Improvements from the improved joint circulation should begin in the first few days, but it may take many months before ligaments and joints are completely healed. Over that time, lameness becomes more intermittent, allowing anti-inflammatory drugs to be used only as needed to relieve pain, instead of so often that they hinder healing. Animals can stay on their feet longer, get up faster and appear more free and comfortable in their movements.
How quickly and fully the joints heal depends upon several factors, including whether the animal is on a real food meat- and vegetable-based diet, and whether other therapies like PEMF, acupuncture and chiropractic are being used to fully restore joint circulation and healing. Once dogs have plateaued in their initial improvements on Voltrex, switch them to Lumbrex.
Besides healing joints, Voltrex also supports the healing of deep spinal cord injuries, such as from severe disc prolapse, FCE or failed attempts at surgical repair. Use Voltrex for about two to three weeks before adding in Lumbrex.
