There has been substantial research in the use of gallium nitrate to
prevent bone resorption in humans, usually caused by malignancies. In
all vertibrate species tested, gallium nitrate, properly administered,
converted hypercalcemia into hypocalcemia, restored lost bone mass, and
generally restored bone to as-new condition. Furthermore, pain from
calcium loss and bone pain were terminated.

Check MEDLINE for more information on the use of gallium nitrate in
repair of bone. The field leader is Raymond P. Warrell, Jr., M.D. at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. I have discussed with him the
idea of administering gallium nitrate to horses with navicular disease.
As he was unfamiliar with equine navicular, he could offer only insite,
not facts, into its potential benefit - which appeared to him as very
plausible

In his article "Gallium for Treatment of Bone Diseases" in Handbook of
Metal-Ligand Interactions in Biological Fluids, Bioinorgaic Medicine
volume 2, pages 1253 - 1265, Marcel Dekker:New York, 1995, he
point-blank stated, "Elemental gallium is a potent inhibitor of bone
resorption that acts to maintain or restore bone mass. By virtue of
these biologic effects, gallium compounds are potentially useful
treatments for a variety of diseases that are characterized by
accelerated bone loss, including cancer-related hypercalcimia, bone
metastases, Paget's disease, and post-menopausal osteoporosis".

He suggested a reasonable daily dosage of gallium nitrate would be in
the 200 to 300 milligram per day range. Bone pain, (lameness) should
stop ***BEFORE*** the navicular bone is refabricated, and the main
concern would be self-injury from lack of navicular pain. The effects
appear quite rapid, perhaps within a week to several months treatment.

To his knowedge, gallium nitrate has never been tested in horses, and
for certain has never been tested as a beneficial treatment for
navicular disease. However, he suggested that gallium nitrate was THE
BEST AGENT to repair bone, and -- navicular bone in horses!

Gallium is directly below aluminum in the periodic table of the
elements. mercury is directly below gallium. Gallium is a liquid at
room temperature and is a by-product of alluminum production. It is
considered a waste product, and only about 3 million dollars of gallium
nitrate are sold in the U.S. each year.

Where can you buy gallium nitrate for experimental treatment of
navicular disease? Aldridge Chemical is the only source that I have
found (check chemical distributors in telephone yellow pages to find one
that handles Aldridge products). Gallium nitrate can be found on the
INTERNET by a number of search engines. Reagent grade gallium nitrate
is 99.99% pure, and is more likely to be much more pure. Cost? About
$150 for 100 day supply. Since doseage is greatly reduced or terminated
upon bone repair, long term treatment does not appear necessary.
