And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru. All right, and welcome to the Pet Health Cafe to show where your pets voice. This is Bill Pet Health Gurule with my special guest host, doctor Michael dam How are we doing, Doc doing Okay? No, I've been a busy one. Yeah, it has it certainly has been, you know, just not enough time for hours in the day, it seems like anymore. And of course this heat doesn't help it out at any does it. No, not at all. The sawn out there just I know, we did a show a few weeks ago on the temperatures and the cement and the pavements and really have to be careful of our animals, you know, this time of year. Yeah, yeah, even I'm hearing that even the you know, the ocean water is getting into nineties, so you can't even cool off into the ocean. No, I know, nineties, something degreen is the ocean and we're not even in there August first yet. Yeah, yeah, of course. Then with that, of course, now you've started to see the toxic algaes and things like that, which our pet's gonna have to be worried about too. Yeah, absolutely, I know. And the reefs are kind of dying. It's just hopefully the weather will let up. Um. I mean, I don't know how much hotter it can get, but well, they have to quit playing with the weather. That's the whole thing. You know, we know that that they're manipulating the weather, and it's you know, for for evil doing, that's for sure, that's for sure. Anyway, Um, our topic tonight, what was it? Strange foods, strange diets, all this so called human grade stuff that is hit the marketplace and you know, people are jumping on the internet ordering it all over the place. And is it really helping it? Is it really more nutritious? Yeah? I know, I'm sure you'll have a lot to say on that bill. That's your expertise, that's for sure. Yeah. Well you're I know that you're getting them coming into your practice too. Well, we decided we want to go more natural, so we dialed one eight hundred or we went online and uh we ordered the stuff and you know, dogs seems to do a little better on it, But is it really optimal nutrition? Yeah, no, that's the question. I mean, of course, when they come into me, I'm always recommending my paleo pet but I try to explain to them that not all the fresh diets quote unquote quote are created equal. No, that's that's very very true. And you know, plat of the things I want to get into with some of the ingredients and that sort of thing. You know, when you look at a lot of them that are out there, they're they're pattering it after a basically the standard American diet for people with grains and fillers, you know, different carbohydrates and vegetables and some fruits and then some meat. There always a can't is a carnivore? What's with all this other stuff? Yeah? Yeah, I know, it's like uh and then you know the marketing of it, it's just tremendous. Like you said, I mean it's everywhere the internet, social media. You know, I'm scanning down social media and you see advertisments for you know, cooked food sent to your home, fresh food sent to your home. Yeah. You know, they're advertising on the on the media, on TV. So it's really there's a big push. You know, they're becoming as strong as the commercial pet food industry. Yeah yeah. And in fact, I know that Mars has want one or two of those companies to get involved in it. And you know, we know the quality of their stuff. You know, you see it in the vet clinics all the time. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's just amazing how you know it's gone from you know, it's just I look back to you know, twenty thirty years ago, right when there just wasn't you didn't have this day luge of companies and options, and it's and the clients are easily swayed by these foods that supposedly are you know, the ideal diet for our animals. And I'm sure you'll have a lot to say on that tonight. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know we can start out of course, when you know, one of my pet peeves of course in the advertising and marketing is the so called uh raw freeze dried Um. It's not raw anymore, is it? No? I know, I tell my clients, you know, don't buy the freeze dried it's it's a little better than the commercial process can and dry kibble, but it's still processed. That's why it's freeze dried. It's not it's not fresh meat. And there's nutrients that are not in those freeze dried foods that are important for health well with with cooking and and some and and somewhat in the freeze running process. Um, what they lose primarily are the live enzymes. And aren't those necessary for building blocks of the body. Absolutely, you know, it's you know, the live enzymes. I mean our animals. The reason why, I mean so many of the commercial cook diets and and to these diets to a lesser extent, put tremendous pressure on our animals, you know, digestive their own digestive enzyme h you know, processes, and our animals just didn't evolve to eat these coat you know, these these heated diets. I mean, it puts tremendous pressure on the enzyme production of the body, the pancreas deliver and the intestinal tract. And so yeah, I mean, we don't want to be feeding diets that make our animals bodies work harder, that's for sure. Yeah. And you know now you know, in kind of a defense. You know, some dogs, especially one of the little or dogs and sometimes cats more so than than than uh you know, dogs itself don't necessarily like it like cold food because when they get a fresh kill. What's the body temperature of that rad or the mouth so the squirrel really true, you know, it's around one hundred and one hundred two basically the same temperature as the dog or can't, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, a good point, um, you know, so slightly warm. So some of the little ones, especially like you said, the little ones, they just will turn their nose up sometimes at it when it's cold. So yeah, so heating it a little bit, right, I know, I heard you say that many times. The clients, you know, if you have these little toy breeds or the cats that you know, don't want to eat it cold and then just lightly heating it is not a bad idea. You know. The best way that I found to do it, of course, is is you know, I'm a proponent for using a lot of bone broth as both a substance, you know, as a mineral supplement and of course also to help calm down that God, especially when we got leaky gud or IBDs, ibs is things of that nature. But just if you heat up a little bit of bone broth and pour it over the top of it, you're not destroying the live enzymes. The enzymes in meat actually actually get destroyed about one hundred and eighteen degrees hundred twenty degrees someplace in there. So if you heat it, you're food over that. Basically you've killed it. And of course the other thing you don't want to do ever, ever, ever, is scramble those molecules by using a microwave. Oh yeah, yeah, can't lose touch of that. You know. Microwaving certainly does destroy the chemical makeup of our foods. Yeah, it's interesting one of the experiments that goes around on the internet every now and then, and I've actually seen it in working. And if if you think that it's not affecting anything, the microwave, oh they say, because the booklets and TV and media says it's completely safe. Take two flower pots, put seeds in both of them, same seeds out of the same packet. Whatever. It doesn't matter what the flowers, vegetables or whatever. Use even just tap water on one and use microwave water on the other. The ones that have the pot that you're using the microwave water will never germany interesting, it's it did it just destroys it that much? They think about these people that you know, they buy these prepared foods, it's drown you know. They take their tap water, put it in in the food itself, put it in the microwave for fifteen minutes, and then they expect it to be what alive? No, that's for sure. And uh, you know those what is it? They delivered these fresh cooked meals to the clients' homes now and you know, I guess that's the way they're doing it right. They're heating them up in the microwave, aading the top water. And what a recipe for a non you know, non fresh diet. Truly, yeah, it's it's amazing. And now when we're looking at this on the pet food side, of course, most of this stuff is going to come into you frozen, um, you know, which does have a fair amount of shipping costs involved with it. And when you look at the prices compared to me if you were buying fresh meat in the supermarket or whether you're coming over to our sponsor, might paleopad or biocomplete diets. Um, you know they're not that much more expensive. Well, you know, the biocomplete line uses all not only human great foods, but also basically what I consider whole foods are better choice meats, you know, grade A poultry, all of that sort of thing. Um, so you're getting the upper end. So how can they make these diets at these prices and shipping to you, you know, with no shipping charges? Right, they can't. So you're bringing up some excellent points. Um, they can't deliver the quality and the and the you know they know the value of what of what you know you're doing in the store. It's just it's not possible. No. Well, the thing is is at one of the bring this part of it into it, especially with these specialty diets. And of course it's true in commercial pet foods, is all the other commercial pet foods as well, is they're not buying that quality. You know, when they talk about human consumption grades, you know we think of it that. You know, you go into the big box discount stores and you know you'll see a lot of the meats have the grade on the packaging says select. Well, we're using Choice, which is the next step above that. And even within Choice, you've got you know, like three or four different grades above that, depending on the cut. Of course, then you get into prime, and again it's the same thing. So you've got quite a range moving just on what you would normally find in even a supermarket. Now there's a whole plethora of grades below that, going down to just commercial meats and then down to what's known as industrial meat. And even though it's human consumption approved, you wouldn't want to eat it. It's mostly kind of beef products. Most of the most of that industrial beef, and that's sold usually the prisons, a lot of its shipped overseas and hot you know, some hospitals, you know, basically the lower end food chain, type of soup kitchens, things of that nature. Well, the bulk of those cattle that go through those plants, first off, they never cut a steak off of them. The whole animal is usually processed as ground beef. And because they're because you couldn't eat one of those steaks, I mean, it would be so tough. Because most of it is they're retired dairy cattle, that have been out there for eight ten years. Well, you know, as a veterinarian, you know that. You know, we're looking for grass fed, grass finished products with no antibiotics, no hormones, no steroids, any of that's stuff. Dairy cattle, they can give it to them on a regular basis, as long as they don't sell the meat during that or the melket during that time, right, right, So it's long you know they're raised that way. Yeah, I was an animal science major at Cornell and I saw the way those dairy cattle were raised. Yeah, and then of course what are they feeding them? Corn soy and it's all gmo, all treated with lifos, synthetic fertilizers, other insecticides. When it's stored, is covered with rodent sides and insecticides and mil deicides and fungicides. Okay, what is in What is really in that that muscle? Meat? Doctor dem all that stuff you know, and it builds you know what it's from. The meat is the highest you know, the highest part of the food chain that concentrates those toxins. And so if they're feeding those to the two of those animals, that's what that's what we're getting exposed to if you know, when we meet like that, and our animals as well. Yeah, of course everybody, especially you know those people who have big dogs and has everything. They're worried about the cost of it. And you know, you can save a little bit on by buying the cheaper meats and the cheaper cuts if you want to, if you're doing it like a do it yourself. But how much do they have to pay you to fix those problems as they start to accumulate? And how much do they pay their heath helpathic um I won't say partners, but but uh and and you know, and when we started looking at those VET bills on the other side, and this is just just the meat part of it that we're talking about. We haven't talked about the formulations that they do yet, but just talking on that and all the testing that has to now go on in the average hellopathic animal hospital. And you look at results every day. I look at results every day. The clients come in and they start yelling and screaming at us because they were charged how much for testing services and it didn't it came back what non conclusive? Right right? Or you know, if they haven't repeated it changes you know by the day it's never the same. It's not consistent either the laboratory testing well, the clinics getting a good consistent result. It's called money, right, right, absolutely, And of course if you know any of the enzymes are a little elevated, who do you think they're blaming? First? You right, they're blaming that. You know, what are you feeding? Don't feed those? You know, raw meat diets, don't feed those. It's a recipe for bacteria and parasites. And you know, I've I've heard it all of my career. You know, they use fear to try and back clients down from feeding you know, the species of appropriate predatory diet. Yeah. And the thing is is when you're testing, are they testing for those? Are they seeing those parasites that they're talking about, or the bacteria or those uh you know other um, you know, the whole plethora of bad bad germs, if you will. Right, they're not even testing to that stuff, are they. No, they're not testing that. It's just a it's just u you know, rhetoric. It's kind of like I call it religious rhetoric that just is spewed out with no basis, no no basis in the science or the evidence, and it's just used this fear. You know, it's religious dogma, that's what I call it. Now. On the other side of that, there are literally thousands of studies that come out probably every year that support a species of appropriate diet, aren't there? Yeah, yeah, there are. And you know, if my colleagues paid attention to them, you know, they would or open their minds to them to even read the material, they would be they would be informed. But there are studies that come out, sure, yeah. And you know, and on the other side of that, I mean, I know you've got the same sense of curiosity did I do. If a client comes into you, um, just wants to do base work, let's say, because I know sometimes you feel in and some of the eleopathic hospitals and still maintain the presence there. But they come in with a perfectly healthy animal, UM, and you ask what they're feeding, and you ask the questions that you do normally ask as a homeopath. UM, and you see that the animals healthy. Wouldn't you be like kind of wanting to learn more about that if you were a regular eleopathic doctor, why is this animal coming in healthy? Yeah, you would think so. But um, you know, my colleagues thrive on the sick, so they don't want animals to be healthier because they don't you know, it's it would take away their business. That's why when I see patients in my holistic practice, especially when their puppies are kittens, you know, my goal, I tell them right up front, is not to see you anymore. I want to just put you on a path, you know, give you the information, let you make those informed decisions, and teach you literally you know, the word doctor, I always tell people means teacher, and that's the literal word. And you know, allopathic vets are hardly teachers. They're just you know, looking for sickness and then giving drugs or recommending surgical procedures to you know, band aid or suppress the problems that have been created. And it's a really distorted system of medicine, bill, that's for sure, it really is. I saw the question came up here on the screen, or you know about blueberries and different fruits and things like that. In the wild, the only time that they would ever eat anything like that is if their body is slightly out of bail and there they've got a slight deficiency um in certain vitamins or minerals. Isn't that true? That's true? Yeah, yeah, So you know there's a big wave of like you said earlier, you know, different diets incorporating various fruits and and you know that are healthy. I mean, they're healthy for us, but they're not really necessary for a healthy carnivorous diet, are they? No? And in fact, and usually I mean I can remember going back when we were even if we're first starting with putting these diets together, that people were amazed at their dogs before they started on the species appropriate diet and meat diet that they were. You know, they love cucumbers and melon and apples and bananas and everything else. In six months into what they said, I tried to give my dog one of these you know what he used to like. He hates them. Now. It's like, yeah, it's balance, all right. We're at the break right now, so we're gonna be right back.

All right, when we're back here on the Pet Health Cafe to show where your pet has a voice. This is build at health go rouling with doctor Michael dimm Yeah, it's it's amazing that you know, when you're fed the right way, they don't want to eat the garbage, do they? No, not at all. I mean, it's just you know, you know the only time they really want to eat that garbage is when they're eating foods that have those fillers you've talked about in the flavorings and all those toxic ingredients that hooks these animals like it hooks our children. And you know, if they don't get exposed to that um, they take right to the species of appropriate road diet right away. And then when it comes time to there's so much they're thriving, their energy is so much better. There's no interest in those lower vibrational foods, Bill, right and and you know, and I'm glad that you brought that up, because the vibrational part of that, the energy part of that is is what it would if it's not. If the natural um instincts and cravings are left to the open, they're gonna seek out those energy foods, aren't they. Yeah, they will, like I said, as long as they're not you know, addicted. You know, they're along as they're not food addicts, you know, right sadly there a lot of them that are fed the commercial food initially. Are they become that way? Well, there's that way because of the ingredients that they put in. And basically what it is is synthetic sugars um you know the Aspertains and Nia Thames and you know there's a whole pluster of those, is like ten thousand different variations of it, with each company having their own proprietary formulas so that you're hooked to their brand, and those are class to narcotics. Yeah, yeah, if you if you, if you tried to, if you trans solt it on the corner, you'd be arrested. But you can walk into any convenience store, gas station and you know, take it off the shelf of the and it's so the department. Well, sugar is an addiction and it's the same area the brains as the coke and out of the other addictive substances. So you know, I know what it's like firsthand. Who observes sugar addiction in kids? So yeah, yeah, it's it really is. And the other thing is is in um the physiology of a carnivore, those carbohydrates get converted directly into sugars, don't they yep, yep, right, And it starts in the mouth, but the salary, uh, you know, as soon as they start eating it, that the the process begins of those of the carbs being converted into sugar. That's why it's interesting. You know. One of the you know, kind of brainwashing um you know, edicts that that my colleagues will say, is you have to feed dry kibble because it's good for the teeth of the animals. And it's actually the opposite. It's wearing the teeth down. Well, not only wearing him down with ques. Then those those those sugars are sticking to the tee teeth and at the gum line, and the only you got the tartar build up everything else. I mean, I remember going back, you know, to the late seventies when they started doing the conversion of artificial flavors and they sold it to us that and to the consumer. Basically you didn't have to buy that can of meat to mix with it, so there's no more mixing involved, just more convenience for you know the pet owner, right right, And and all of a sudden, then all of a sudden, you know, like four or five years later, I was I was actually selling dentically equipment to groomers naturally because they were the ones that were doing any dentals at that point in time. And we got sued by the you know, by the veterinary associations because we were practicing medicine without a license. And then when it got to court, it was like, oops, it's not in the veterinary code. It wasn't even there. Um. But within a year, you know, it was nationwide. You know how fast they can move when they want to. Yeah, And now that Veterinary Dental Business Bill is just it's one of the biggest business, you know, one of the biggest profit centers in a conventional event clinic. And you know, I can't tell you how many animals present. I mean, they have data on it. You know, significant majority of dogs and cats over a few years of age had significant period donald disease and gum and dental issues and tarder when they're fed commercial foods. And you know, I hear what my colleagues are recommending to these young animals. It's the you know, the the major companies you know that we you know, don't mention the game here. But the major companies that you know, create more customers. It's the same, the same story over and over again, where we create, you know, our our own customers by making these animals sick. And the dental and and the dentistries now, I mean, I've seen the estimates for to get a dog or cat's teeth clean is six seven, eight hundred dollars and that doesn't include extractions and all the rest of it. And then more and more events are getting trained in more detailed dentistry. They have dental X rays now, they're doing drilling and the dantics and all of these, all of these you know, human all these you know, people uh services that our animals just don't need. In fact, you know, years ago when I was just doing conventional medicine, even when we were doing the dentistries. Back then, if you had a loose tooth, you you know, you pulled it if it was bothering the animal. You know, you didn't have all this instrumentation and technology that just leads to a broken bank, you know, and doesn't really make a healthier animal either. I mean it's just Tom just mentioned you and you know, when you're when you're doing these different procedures and that sort of thing. What kind of stresses on those animals? Well, first off, code leading up to having to have that done. You know, the toxins that are in the blood and you know, caused by the infections and you know, the inflammations and that sort of thing, and then the toxic chemicals that have to go into the body um for the procedures, right, the anesthetics, the pre anesthetics, the antibiotics, the pain medications. You know, it's just a whole slew of of of of you know, of dangerous chemicals, you know, just to get animals teeth clean. It leads you know, my clients that you know I don't have too bad build up in the mouth, they'll go get anesthesia free dentals, which is you know and minimally they washed the plaque off with a dental instrument. But you don't need to do that. All you have to do is feed what you know we're recommending here and the todda will fall right off or use you know, substances like manuka honey on that on those gum lines and you know you'll see amazing results. Rather than going through all this all these processes and putting our animals through these things, you know, and I find that the more the animals get their teeth clean, the unhealthier they get. It's the actual opposite of what we're of what's being told us, right, Yeah, I totally agree. Um uh yeah. Another comment up there, it was all the all the dollars for testing in everything else. Yeah, it used to be a couple It used to be an inexpensive venture veterinary medicine. I was having a conversation with a conventional colleague, um not long ago, and he was asking, you know, he was actually from Europe and he was moving into the area, and he wanted to know what were the costs of emergency medicine nowadays? And he said, is it more than a thousand dollars to have an animal on a hospital one? I said, more than a thousand. It's thousands of dollars just to work up that sick animal, of that animal for conditions. And you know, when an animal comes in with a little a little plaque and a little ginger vitis that can be fixed with a species of appropriate diet. The expenses are just like with like the like the audience member just mentioned there's thousands and thousands of dollars. It's just astronomical. Yeah, it's crazy. And of course and then they turned around and so called prescribe, which there is those sees of prescription diet, But diets that are going to cause it to continue, aren't they. Yeah, yeah, it's just a man, it's a system of madness spill. And they use, you know, as I said, very powerful persuasive arguments to get you know, the consumer to do these procedures and to feed these diets. You know that really all you have to do when I tell my clients this all the time, just go into the vet waiting room, see what diets are sitting there, and just look at the labels. And you don't really need to have a PhD in food science to see that. Boy, that's not what a carnivore should be heating. Looking at those ingredients in the order of you know, in the carbohydrate process, carbs, the cheap sort of forms of carbohydrates, the meat meals, the byproducts, you know, all that are listed. The soy. I mean, it's a big ingredient in a lot of these foods. It's just amazing. And like I said, that's what veterinarians are pushing and selling and they're extremely expensive these diets. And talk about expensive, you know, these diets are not cheap, no, and it basically it's the same ingredients that they have in any of the supermarket brands, right right, It's really not that different. And but they're marketed and clever, picturesque bags. They've got literature and pamphlets on them, and uh, you know even when they're puppies and kittens, whether they they're going home with little little kits of you know, William tick and heartworm preventative and samples of the foods. So it's designed for failure. Getting back to our original topic though too. When we started looking and we talked a little bit about the poor quality meets and what the chemicals and agents that are that can be in that. Um so we're looking at a bad, a really bad you know, quality protein source in these you know, commercial diets. Now, when it's when you see the list of vegetables and fruits that are in it. If I'm a farmer, I'm a good farmer. I'm raising really good squash and broccoli and that sort of thing. I'm not going to sell that to a pet food company for zero dollars. I'm gonna sell it at the best market I can to make the maximum amount of profit. Now, what happens to all the bad broccoli and squash and kale, the outer leaves, all the trimmings. You're not getting that head of broccoli in their You're getting the scrap, but it's still looked. But the scrap is still broccoli, right because it's broccoli plant. So you're not getting you know, in some cases, you might be getting more nutrients because it's the you know, the peelings of the potato rather than the actual potato, because that's where the nutrients are. But um, But then the processing it has to go through because they're not picking that stuff up. They're not using fresh. It's picked up maybe once a week, once every two weeks. Um. You know, when the processing blankets enough of it and it's all treated with different preservatives to keep it from breaking down, and we have no idea what those are. No, No, And that's all ending up in the food. Yeah. So when you're seeing that dog that's you know on TV, that's running to the bowl of this human grade food, is it really what you think it is? No? But it's better the reason the dog is running to it. It's certainly a lot better than kibble, isn't it. That's for sure. Yeah, so it's it's moving towards the right direction, but it isn't It isn't quite there yet though. Yeah, it's not really equivalent. And like you said, it's just look at the price of it. Just to market it as as they've done, they can't possibly be delivering a superior product to the door. No, And you add in the cooking process if there was any nutrients left, they pretty much destroy them, a lot of them. They are adding the synthetic vitamin packets you know that they use in kibble, all that stuff from some China, right. I remember what was it about, how to be about almost twenty years ago when I was in you know, strictly a conventional practice, just starting to do homeopathy, and I remember bringing in a food into the practice that was promoted as it was at the time. It was one of the first commercial foods promoted as having all five major food groups in it. And it had a little pamphlet in there, and I will mention the name of the company. I don't think they're still around though, but they had a little pamphlet in there that had beautiful pictures of fruits and vegetables, and you know the fact that you know they were avid pushing this for for our animals, you know, to have all five major food groups, making it seem like they were little people. Yeah, exactly. Okay, we're up against a break again, Dee. These segments go so fast, we're right back. Does your pet suffer from allergies, cancer, digestive issues, or joint and skin problems?

Again here on the pet Health Cafe to show where your pet has a voice. This is build a pen health Google and with doctor Michael dim Um. And you know this whole thing, the presentation, like you said, the marketing itself, h I wish I had a marketing budget like that. You know, we used those pamphlets on the food I was mentioning. I mean it was the food was better at granted than the than the other major pet food companies that were being pushed out of the clinic door. But it was marketed as such a like a like as close to raw as it could be, and it really wasn't. It was just it was cleverly marketed disguised. And the animals, you know, the animals aren't member that would eat it would do much better than animals that were on you know, on on cheaper kibbles, but um, you know there was no comparison to the fresh meat fat animals now. And and you know one of the things too is people don't realize that anytime you do a switching diet um the body automatically is going to get rid of all the toxins that have and whatever it can of the old food that it can get rid of, so you're obviously going to get different nutrients going into the body. So you're always going to see some sort of a little bump um, you know both in you know that that uh, allergy symptoms will sometimes dissipate a little bit, you know, the the but then you know, because they're all very similar, you're still going to see the chronic stuff, the chronic ear infections, the anal gland issues. Um. You know, the scratchy and itching might go away a little bit if it's gonna higher fat content, but then you get rashes three months down the road because of the preservatives they have to add to that oil, you know. Um, So it's a vicious cycle that they go through, and you know they you know, I know, we were at a continuing education thing with one of the one of the big prescription diet companies, and the veterinarian that was there given the presentation was telling to do that's that you know, just because you've got a gastric problem here and you tried to gastro blend. If it doesn't work, go to just pick any other that alphabet soup and see if that one works better because we have no idea what works right. And you know, there's one of the things that I also like to bring up too with some of these cheaper meat sources, is you know, is the there's also the concentration of the heavy metals, which you know come from the vaccines big time. But right I've seen um, I mean many years ago one of our homeopathy meetings, you know, Richard Karen actually tested one of these foods that were available, one of these you know, fresh supplement slash meat, you know whatever. It was from from a major company, major natural pet food company, and he sent the sample off to the lab and it was through the roof with heavy metals in it. And so when you know, I had a little dog this past week that was in there. It came to see me, and it was having little twitches and little tremors. And just think if you have a small dog eating these foods that have all these ingredients you're talking about, Bill, and then you throw in heavy metals. And I told him to call the store and get a get a test kit and test the dog for heavy metals to see if that was involved with some of the twitching and the season and and you know it was she was feeding you know, kind of meats that weren't I don't think the better quality ones that you know you're referring to, right, you know, with this new format, with those being on TV, I keep forgetting to tell people that they can actually submit questions and that's really you know, we'll actually get them on the air. And of course the other thing is obviously is that we want you to share this and like it and of course subscribe to this channel because that's the only way we're going to expand this. I mean again, you know we've talked about this in the past. How you know, getting that information out is one of our most important things, isn't it. It sure is. And you know there's so much information out there now and social media and YouTube channels, and you know, this information we're providing here is priceless, and it's it's so valuable the topics we go through each week though we we cover such a wide area and you know, and you have that library of previous shows, both you know here on TV format as well as years from the radio, that such valuable information. Yeah, I mean, you know, one of the things I've gotten to the point now it's like when people come in for a consultation. And by the way, both of us do, do you know, consultations on a regular basis. Um, we can book them, you know, through through doctor Dimm's office or through my paleopet for myself. We're both listed on a site called I think it's pet works um that provides it's basically a referral service, um, depending on whatever you are in the country. I know I've gotten several consoles through there. Um. Yeah, I'm sorry, doctor I preferred several of those too. Yeah, I mean those are people looking to do it themselves, a lot of them at home. I don't, I know, it's just funny. I was gonna I was gonna teach you about it because I'm rated higher than you are on that site, right, But I mean I'm not a nutritionist like you are, so I you know, I'll comment and then I'll say and I'll even I've given your name out a few times. But a lot of those people there, they want to do it at home themselves, and I'd like you to comment on that though, just you know, yeah, I mean, you know that's a good point. And um, you know, because we're um, you know, we've got a few minutes here. But yeah, I mean, you don't have to always buy commercial, but when you do buy, if you're gonna do it yourself, the main thing you have to remember is that number one, the you know, the rotational diet, the variety of different protein sources, the different meats, the different cuts of meat. Don't use the same thing all the time because doctor dim you and I know, a good a good filet mignon is great the first time, but if you tell you they have a three days in a row, you're sick of it because there's different there's different things, um, you know. But I'm a I'm a beef lover. So okay, if you give me a filet one day and then give me a good Delmonico or a rib by the next day, they taste totally different, don't They absolutely different? And then and then give me a burger on day three and I'm still fine with beef. But but each one of those cuts, because of they are different, do have different nutritional profiles. And and of course the other thing and do it yourself is you know, and it's hard, I know for a lot of people because the supermarkets don't carry it. There's not a lot of good butcher shops run anymore. It's getting good, clean organ meat. And of course at my paleopat, you know, we do a lot of business with Florida fresh meats. We have all of that grass fat, grass finished organ meat available, so you have to incorporate a certain amount of that as well, you know. And poultry it's the same thing. You know, you can get you know, the chicken feet and the duck feet and the necks, and you know those are all fine to add into it. By the way, it doesn't have to be ground. You know, especially you big dog people that are worried about budgets. You know, you can throw a whole you know, pasture raised chicken down. Those dogs know exactly what to do with it. Slam shanks, you know, u asobuco, beef ribs, pork ribs, all that stuff. It's tremendous for them. And of course, you know when you get into those whole cots, you've got the natural bones that are going to take care of part of what you were talking about with the dental problems, aren't they Absolutely that's going to wash those teeth naturally. Yeah. Yeah, And the other thing about you know, the Foods Bill that from the you know, people that want to do it themselves. I found a lot of the questions on that, you know, the website you're talking about, you know, people are wanting specific diets for various conditions. I know we're getting there, but just comment on that, because that, to me is just so allopathic and thinking that I don't think different medical conditions need you know, special diets, so to speak. Yeah, well that's just it. I mean people, and it's the same thing. It's true because I deal with a lot of people, a lot more people now than I used to with their own diets. That people come up with these you know, doctors and scientists and nutritionists come up with these protocols and it's so narrow that yes, it'll help for the first couple days. Um, it's like going vegetarian or going vegan. Um. You know, the first week two weeks, you'll feel good because you're buy is cleansing out a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't cleansing before. But then on the backside, all food brings good and bad to the table. The bad stuff that's in that food is going to start to accumulate because we've already burned off the good stuff. And so when you get into these locked in diets, especially you know with certain recipes and certain the body's dynamic is changing moment a moment. I mean, just me talking about this, I mean you can you can see my you know, the my adrenals are going. I mean they're working overtime that passions there. My brain is just keep moving and moving moving. After the show, I'll take a deep breath. Those biochemical actions that are going on are going to be totally different within what they are during the show, aren't they Yeah? Absolutely so, um yeah, it's it's very important that you don't lock yourself into this and do the variations. And you know your animals will tell you as well, because they're going to be, you know, migrating towards certain foods in certain days. You know, you might put down chicken today and they're like, I don't really care for it. So next day you put down beef. It's going in five seconds and all my dog going you like to beat. You put down chicken on day three or day four, it's going the same way. Because now the body has different needs and that's what's never that's not. That's not what's taught to nutritionists. It's not taught to doctors or veterinarians. It's you know that they know what to do. They hunt different areas in the wild looking for different things, and it's based on those what we call what we call food cravings. But it's basically a nutritional need that they has to be satisfied. And you know that's so important. And yeah, so do it yourself is fine. You know, our sponsor, my Pale your Pet does provide all the core meats because we use them in our own foods. So you know, you can always go in and to be honest, we have a lot of bodybuilders and that sort of thing. They come in now for themselves because we do have you know, the grass finished, you know, livers and kidneys and heart and things of that nature um that they need for their body. So you know, we have those all available. You can mix, you can do your mixing match however you want to do it. Yeah, so we're down to two minutes. Doctor didn't actually we should be going in a few seconds. How can people reach you?
