Oh?
29
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.120
Crazy?
30
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.319
You know how it is? Well, you've been spending a
31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.959
couple of saturdays by store, you know how it is? Yeah,
32
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.400
a half hour of nobody and then twenty people at
33
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:56.879
once exactly.
34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.560
Yeah, we get we're fighting the weather too, and the
35
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.959
time of here down here in Florida. A lot of
36
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.959
people are absolutely yeah ye so, but yeah, it's gonna
37
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.159
be an interesting week. Never ceases to be a never
38
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.120
ceases to be a dull moment, that's for sure.
39
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.199
That's for sure. Yeah, And uh, I wanted to I
40
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.159
wanted to bring something up to the beginning here is
41
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.439
the show. It's because we're we're gonna be talking about
42
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.599
achieving wellness, and our disclaimer at the beginning of the
43
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.719
show says, never start a health or nutrition program without
44
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:37.680
consulting a professional medical person. Oh man, that's the FDA
45
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:38.840
regulation that we.
46
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.719
Have your Yeah, it has to be so it is
47
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.199
not always consult your healthcare professional.
48
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.280
Yeah, so it's like, you know, I do this in
49
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.879
the store quite a bit. You may have even heard
50
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.479
me over the weekend doing it. It's like you walk in, Okay,
51
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.840
you're go first of the year, it's January first. You
52
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.520
want to get healthy, so you go to your healthcare professional.
53
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.639
What are they going to give you, be size drug
54
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.520
and a treatment for him for something you don't actually
55
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.520
have except maybe obesity. They don't have anything. So then
56
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.599
you go to you leave there disgusted. You turn around
57
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.840
and you go to the health food store. You open
58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.159
up the door and you go, where's the food department.
59
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.919
There's no food. It's all supplements. It's all prescription in
60
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.439
that non prescription drugs, if you will, made by the
61
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.400
same company. Then you go to the supermarket and there's
62
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.439
nothing to eat. It's real food except maybe a little
63
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.919
bit on the edges, and that stuff is all tainted anyway.
64
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.960
So what do you do to get to achieve this wellness?
65
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.560
If you're in Papino? Absolutely absolutely, yeah, you're right.
66
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.520
But I agree, you know, for the average pet owner,
67
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.400
it's and the average person they just really don't realize,
68
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:56.879
do they.
69
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.560
No, they don't, you know, it's really know they think,
70
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.240
like you said, they go to other outlets thinking they're
71
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.319
getting health food or healthy advice, and like you said,
72
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.159
they're just getting synthetic supplements and a bottle form and
73
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.439
or not real food. And uh, you know, I certainly want.
74
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.839
I've been spending some time at your store and I've
75
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.639
been buying some items. Each time I'm there, I said, Wow,
76
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.399
this is great tasting stuff, and it's real and it's
77
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.360
human grade, hormone free, pesticide free, all that good stuff.
78
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.680
But you know it's really lacking in the health. You know,
79
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.439
people often say I won't mention health food store chains
80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.480
that I go here or I go there, and I
81
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.360
know you often say, well, it's not the same the
82
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.439
bone brought you buy there isn't the same that you
83
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.560
get with my paliopephord. So you know, it's hard to
84
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.839
find truly natural, unadulterated products.
85
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.079
Now you you happen to pick up one of our
86
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.480
great steaks this weekend. How was it was delicious?
87
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.560
Oh boy, I mean it beat all the best steak
88
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.600
has as I've ever been to. And I said, I
89
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.480
think I said to you, you know, not to not
90
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.800
to put down or belittle the vegetarians in the audience.
91
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.519
But I tried to become one, and I couldn't because
92
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.959
I just crave fat in my diet. It's hard to
93
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.839
get fat when you're on a plant based only diet.
94
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.079
You know, Avocados didn't cut it for me, and you know,
95
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.480
it affected everything, affected my mood, my health, well being,
96
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.879
and you know, I just I couldn't do it because
97
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.519
when I had gone to you know, many years ago,
98
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.000
you probably know this story. You know doctor Pittcareen who
99
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.560
trained me in homeopathy. He you know, he was one
100
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.480
of the first guys who, along with you back in
101
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.000
the seventies and eighties that were preaching a raw meat diet.
102
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.879
And then over the years he's evolved and you know,
103
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.079
the latest edition of his book calls for more plant
104
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.800
based diets and our animals for not necessarily that's what
105
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.600
they evolved to eat, but for various ecological reasons and
106
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.319
you know how the animals treated and that kind of thing.
107
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.160
But my meetings became vegetarian when I would go to
108
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.839
the annual homeopathy meetings, and you know, I started going
109
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.120
and they presented a lot of really powerful material and
110
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.279
I said, boy, I got to try to become a vegetarian,
111
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.199
and I did and it didn't work, you know work.
112
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.600
It's funny because people will realize our digestive system is
113
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.519
closer to that of a wolf than it is to
114
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.240
an ape. And you have to compare it all the time.
115
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.959
You know, an ape has got an a test and
116
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.399
a large intestine is like ten miles long because they
117
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.000
ferment what goes into front end for a long long
118
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.480
time and then when it comes out as poop, then
119
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:33.199
they eat it. It's you know, so you want to
120
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.720
be like anigh or you want to be like a
121
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:37.519
you know, a wolf.
122
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.519
Paid it's a question that I guess it's on someone's mind.
123
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.079
Is there a holistic treatment for hyper parathyroidism? Not that
124
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.800
I'm away, I mean I would just treat it as
125
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.120
we do most things, treated with a fresh species appropriate
126
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.720
rotating protein diet, various herbs and botanicals because if the
127
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.319
the parathyroine plant is out of balance, usually it's toxicity.
128
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.920
Right, yeah, absolutely, yeah, And you know, as we talk
129
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.199
about on this show all the time, so you know,
130
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.600
ninety percent of the toxins aren't visible, and they most
131
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.399
of them don't even have very much of a smell.
132
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.120
So our body can't even sense them, but yet our
133
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:19.240
animals have have a strong enough ability to smell them
134
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.680
that when you try to stick something wrong in their
135
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.560
diet without using artificial synthetic palatans like they do in
136
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.160
commercial foods, they just reject it. I mean, you know, oh,
137
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.720
you know, you got to give your dog this warming
138
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.279
pill or this this treatment pill, and you're doing you know,
139
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.920
you're playing sumo wrestler with a four pound maltese right.
140
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.720
Right, right, exactly so. But anyway, I thought the topic
141
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.000
tonight would be a good one to kind of compare,
142
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.639
you know, the kind of the two models of medicine
143
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:56.959
and how they determine what wellness is and what what
144
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.120
that basic you know, difference is, and if there are
145
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.800
any similarities, which there really aren't many unfortunately, between the
146
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.399
conventional model of wellness and the holistic model of wellness.
147
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.600
But you know, certainly I've been trying to on my
148
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.759
social media pages provide more information about some of the
149
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.759
glaring just I don't know, I'll call the atrocities of
150
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.959
you know, Western medicine. And I always say this, and
151
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.600
I have to always bring up when I when I
152
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.480
bring up these points that I've been doing this for
153
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.040
thirty five years, not as long as you, but I've
154
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.920
been in the veterinary profession for quite a number of decades,
155
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.519
and I practiced in some very busy conventional vet practices.
156
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.240
So it's not like I just come at it from
157
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.679
a homeopathic or holistic model, you know, so to speak.
158
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.720
But you know, when they start when they're young, Bill,
159
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.080
It's just like you know that first we should start
160
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.559
when they're puppies or kittens, when they first bring those
161
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.600
animals to the veterinarian and they were bringing them there
162
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.000
for you know, wellness or health and they want to say, hey, Doc,
163
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.519
tell me how to keep my pet healthy. I mean,
164
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.639
that's the first thing you know, anybody wants when they
165
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.200
adopted the young animal. And you know, with traditional medicine,
166
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.399
it usually is along the lines of, like you saying earlier,
167
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:11.720
drugs drugs, whether they're injected to prevent disease, or whether
168
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799
they they're oral pesticides to try to wipe out so
169
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.799
called parasites and the digestive tract, or whether they're you know,
170
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.840
certain medications that they're taking internally and topically to destroy
171
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.639
or prevent leaves and ticks, which God, if they expose
172
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.440
to our animals, they're going to get some god awful diseases.
173
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.200
So you know, the word fear is what comes into
174
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.039
play right away in the western medical model and usually
175
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.480
and I remember when I first started working in traditional
176
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.279
practice and they had in the clinics and you probably
177
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.879
remember this the model with the heart in there with
178
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.279
the worms crawling in it, and say, this is what
179
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.799
heartworm looks like. If you don't put your animal on
180
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.559
some sort of medication to prevent this, this is what
181
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.039
your animal is going to get. It's going to die.
182
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.519
From me, and not not saying animals don't occasionally come
183
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.600
down with artworms, but you know, again it's using fear,
184
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:07.440
not empowerment to promote wellness. And that to me is
185
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.080
as far as a definition of wellness when you when
186
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.080
the word fear comes in the health. And so that's
187
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.039
really what happens right from the get go in the
188
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.600
traditional like and then usually of course they're going to
189
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.559
come in and they have their samples of food, you know,
190
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.440
the kibble and you know from these companies, the you know,
191
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.200
the big pet food companies that you know kind of
192
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.879
brainwash my young colleagues and uh and older colleagues, and uh,
193
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.480
you know they start out with just commercial food and god,
194
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.159
don't feed anything from the table or don't feed anything
195
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.480
that might be appropriate because if you do, they're going
196
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.159
to get really, really sick. So it's just you know,
197
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.600
it's a bombardment of just a lot of a lot
198
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.720
of you know, just fear based you know, dead products,
199
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.960
dead food, and dangerous medications and drugs. And you know,
200
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.600
the biggest thing, which I know don't like you mentioned
201
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.919
on the show, are the injections that these animals get
202
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.120
in their immune system is developing and these are the
203
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.799
last things we want to do to a developing immune Yeah.
204
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.799
And you know, as you're talking about jed first visit
205
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.559
as well, and you did leave out one of the
206
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.399
small just a little detail that all that is actually
207
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:23.480
life changing and they's say on the first visit schedule
208
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.720
the first surgeries.
209
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.759
Absolutely. Yeah, Well, you know in the Traditions Bill, right,
210
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.440
they would do all the series of you know, injections
211
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.879
over several months, over a few months. Then that that
212
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.440
last you know injection appointment. Well in another three or
213
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.480
four weeks from now, we've got a neuter or a spey.
214
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.559
Your animal at six months of age, which nowadays that's
215
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.120
actually considered ancient, you know, given what they're doing and
216
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.039
the rescues and the shelters, the conventional ones, that is
217
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.559
not the whole that you that you deal with. But
218
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.639
you know they're doing them now at six and eight
219
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.279
weeks of age. You know, they're they're surgically altering animals
220
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.440
and uh, you know, but that was always a big
221
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.759
money thing and or you know, to be fair, you know,
222
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.960
there is a big pet over population problem, of course,
223
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.480
and as a young guy growing up, I remember watching
224
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.159
the old show The Price Is Right, where Bob Barker
225
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.879
would say at the end of the show, don't forget
226
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.279
to have your pet spade or newtered. You know. It
227
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.000
was like the whole you know that you know, and
228
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.039
he meant it from a place of you know, even
229
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.519
though I think he was kind of involved with the societies.
230
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.559
Yeah, that was a paid commercial AVMA.
231
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:34.440
But yeah, the surgical sterilization and that, fortunately I'm really
232
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.879
happy with over the decades. You know, at least my
233
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.000
conventional colleagues are now. You know, they can't deny the
234
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.960
science that they asked for in terms of the benefits
235
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.919
of keeping the sex hormones for at least a significant
236
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.879
amount of time rather than removing it at a young age.
237
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.480
So you know, at least there's some acknowledgment, you know
238
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.159
in that area.
239
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.919
Yeah, well, it's funny because when you know, when I
240
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.919
was in college as well, the recommendation, you know, one
241
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.960
of the things that came out on the FDA's Center
242
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.759
for Veterinary Medicine is that spe and and this is
243
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.279
going back into the sixties and the seventies when this
