This case study documents the recovery of “Rose,” a critically ill three-week-old calf who experienced a rapid and complete turnaround following the introduction of IonicPrime™.

At the time of intervention, Rose’s condition was considered severe, with limited expectations for recovery. According to her care team, the speed and completeness of her improvement were unprecedented under similar circumstances.

The observations outlined below provide insight into how targeted ionic mineral support may contribute to systemic balance, recovery, and resilience during periods of extreme physiological stress.

All observations are based on real-world conditions and documented by Rose’s care team.

The Journey of Rose

3 week old Rose has been placed on oxygen and IV lactated ringers

Day 1

  • Temperature was 101.6
  • Stool was normal formed
  • 1st hour, she was too stiff to prop up

I gave Rose 5cc of BioHarvest IonicPrime oral as I started using the lactated ringers. This was at 1:00pm in the afternoon. B-12 given, Iron given, and Bose also given.

Three hours in I was able to prop up with her legs underneath, she was alert and responded to my voice.

Not too long in the upright position she would stretch out.

As hours went by she would stay propped longer and seemed more relaxed. She was Bag fed Restart 1-4 with 5cc more of BioHarvest Naturals IonicPrime.

Day 2

Rose was moved out of intensive care to an Isolated Polly Pen.

Propped up right with straw. But not that good as her front legs would not tuck under like they were supposed to.

  • Feeding was a bottle milk with IonicPrime 5cc added to the formula.
  • Iron repeated.

The day was spent propping  and re propping up and rotating down hip. She was staying upright position more as the afternoon passed.

  • PM feeding was a milk bottle with 5cc IonicPrime added.
  • Stool normal formed, temperature, 101.4

Day 3

  • Physical therapy 20 min am – pm
  • Drank bottle milk 5cc more IonicPrime add AM & PM
  • Rose after physical therapy , trying to right herself up.

Day 4

Rose was sitting in a upright position the morning of the fourth day.

  • Temperature 101.7
  • Stool normal form IonicPrime 5cc am only in milk

Day 5

  • Normal temp
  • Normal stool
  • 5cc IonicPrime in milk AM only

Rose’s first attempt to stand on her own!

Day 6

  • Temperature normal
  • Stool normal
  • 3cc IonicPrime AM only

Up and down on own but weak on frontend yet. Front legs buckle Iron repeated one last time.

Day 7

Rose continues her progress.

Day 8

Rose shows no buckling and is moving faster.

Day 9

  • Straight legs

Rose had 100% turn around in nine days. Other calves either died or had continuing issues. Others I had here at clinic for months with very slow improvement. Rose went home 7 days later. *I kept Rose an 7 extras days to monitor

Today Rose is doing great. I will follow progress to her first calving.

This concludes my first test trial on a calf not on grain. I placed the powder in on top the water then added IonicPrime.

Rose received 5cc oral the first time then received it twice a day there after in her milk. Day 6 I reduced it to 3cc and stopped at Day 10 and waited 7 days then sent her home.

I used BioHarvest IonicPrime to help my medication and her through an illness still not knowing what caused the seizures, have many ideas but none conclusive to say this was it.

I strongly believe that if not for IonicPrime Rose would be dead. My second large animal profile showed the Bun Urea move to the normal center position. The lab personal could not get the computer to synch the results so I have no paper trail on it.
But next time.

In ten years this is the fastest recovery I have ever seen and will test more now through June of 2016.
