8
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.000
And welcome to a Pet Health Cafe to show where
9
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.159
your pet has a voice. This is Bill, a pet
10
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.000
health Guru, and I want to welcome everybody to this podcast.
11
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.320
Hopefully we'll provide you with a lot of answers and
12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.880
a lot of insight. Get that mind going as to
13
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.520
what we need to be doing for our pets and
14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.880
ultimately for ourselves. As we always start to show, I
15
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.959

show on any of the platforms that you're on. Those
17
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.120
of you that have had good successes with what we've
18
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.879
done too, you know, you can always go on to

20
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.280
it was a great testimonial that's always very very helpful
21
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.480
as well. The chatroom will be open, so if you
22
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.719
do have questions or comments that you'd like to make
23
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.599
you know, we're here for you. And tonight's topic as
24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.640
we previewed and have promoted all week, you know, being
25
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.920
the first of the year, and you do a little
26
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.799
bit of reflecting on what happened in the past year
27
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.799
and over your lifetime, and with me, it's no exception.
28
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.079
I do the same thing and looking over at the
29
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.439
animal health industry as a whole. Of course, I've been
30
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.280
involved in the pet industry, in the animal health industry
31
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.879
for over fifty five years, both on the pet side
32
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.400
and on the veterinary side, on the animal health side,
33
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.840
and a little bit of work with farm animals and
34
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.080
exotic animals, zoo animals that sort of thing as well.
35
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.319
And I've seen a tremendous amount of changes that have
36
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:27.639
occurred in the space that we call animal health. My
37
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.919
question when I was doing some research is how have
38
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.759
we gone so wrong with the health of our animals
39
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.560
and when did it really start? And when you know,
40
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.759
are there issues that we have control over that we
41
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.199
need to maybe take back and redefine, if you will,
42
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.960
so that our animals can be healthier and happier at best,
43
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.080
you know, which means we're going to have to start
44
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.840
turning over rocks and you know, looking really really deep
45
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.800
into what we've done in the last fifty or sixty years.
46
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.560
It's it's interesting to me that when I go back
47
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.000
in the beginning of my career, keeping animals was very
48
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.080
very simple and basic. You know, you fed the animals,
49
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.159
you walk them, they eat, they poop. You know, if
50
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:25.840
you really uh into the hobby, you might be you know,
51
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.000
engaged in a breeding program so they have babies. And
52
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.159
our animals were all very very healthy then, with dogs
53
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.439
living over twenty years in many cases as a natural life,
54
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.280
and cats even up over thirty years. Most of the
55
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.719
vet visits at that point in time were primarily because
56
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.000
either you got a brand new animal and you just
57
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.560
wanted an assessment basic physical all to make sure that
58
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.719
you know, you got what you paid for. Accidents, you know,
59
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.680
Heaven forbid, but they did happen, you know, things like
60
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.159
car accidents, getting hit by a car, hit by a tractor,
61
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.400
piece of equipment, and you know on the farm. UH
62
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:16.040
had a dog myself that when it was a puppy,
63
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.319
had a little end of the tail that was white,
64
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.279
and obviously we called the dog Tippy until it was
65
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.879
running out the door with aluminum storm door screen door
66
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.120
closing that took that white tip off. So obviously that
67
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.279
did require a little bit of veterinary care. But that
68
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.879
was the type of accidents that would happen. And to
69
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.920
be honest, most of the end of life stuff occurred
70
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.720
at home. They would just pass pass away in their sleep.
71
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.920
And you know, back then, you know, we disposed of them,
72
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.439
usually in the backyard, planted a tree or memorial to them.
73
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.839
And uh, it was very very simple. We didn't have
74
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:07.399
annual checkups, we didn't have semi annual checkups, we didn't
75
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:13.959
have a host of all these so called preventative procedures
76
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.319
and drugs and products. And I asked the question is like,
77
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.360
why are we seeing so many more diseases in our
78
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.920
animals today than we did fifty years ago, forty years ago,
79
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:31.319
even thirty years ago. It's a rather profound question when
80
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.240
you look at from the perspective of time. Our pets
81
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.160
used to be inexpensive. Now, as many of you pet
82
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.279
owners and pet parents know, the cost of veterinary services
83
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.160
is gone through the roof, and you have to ask yourself,
84
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.000
is this really necessary? Is everything that we're doing really necessary.
85
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.759
When I was early in the career, if your dog
86
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.279
got fleas, generally at the end of the summertime, and
87
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.759
you know, it was a one or two step proposition
88
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.160
to eliminate them. You know, maybe a flea spray, maybe
89
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.879
a flea bath. You know, you may use a little
90
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.839
bit of spray in the environment as well, but it
91
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.000
was kind of like one and done today. I mean,
92
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.920
if you stop and think about the amount of money
93
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.600
that is spent on so called preventatives, you know that
94
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.920
are all chemically based, and yet we hear all the
95
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.560
time of major infestations in the house on the animal,
96
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.439
that it's impossible to get rid of all these fleas.
97
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.639
And you know, we have to ask ourselves why is
98
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.319
that happening? Why is it so much worse today if
99
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.360
we are doing all this preventative medicine. My investigations show
100
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.160
a lot of different things, and we'll get into them
101
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.480
as we show progresses, but that happens to be one
102
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.360
of the main areas that is of concern. One of
103
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.199
the other very profound things is when you go back
104
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:13.199
more than sixty seventy years ago, our pets weren't said
105
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.279
commercial foods basically whatever we ate is what they ate.
106
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.639
Mom Grandmom would make sure that there was enough extra
107
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.360
food in the pots or if a meal, to be
108
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.879
able to keep our pets happy and healthy as well.
109
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.759
And of course commercial pet foods came along and we
110
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.120
were sold on the convenience of it, and then of
111
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.480
course we started to see the boutique foods, if you will,
112
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:45.000
and then the functional diets that they and veterinary trade pushes,
113
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.920
and the cost of these foods, which all of you
114
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.879
can attest to, has gone through the ceiling many cases
115
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.600
are surpasses the cost of our own food and our
116
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:04.720
own di yes, and in the store over the last
117
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.160
twenty years, almost twenty years since we opened my Paleopat
118
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:12.480
and Fiesta Beteli, one of the things the most common
119
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.839
comments that we got is that their animals were eating
120
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.360
better than they were because they were spending more money
121
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.680
on the food than they were on their own food.
122
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.800
So that's another area that has gone way up. And
123
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.079
I have to ask, are we really going in the
124
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.399
right direction with this stuff? Are those flea products, those
125
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.759
heartworm products, those injectables that are supposed to prevent all
126
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.039
these diseases, are they really working? Is the food that
127
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.320
is supposed to be a super food, well balanced, scientifically
128
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.279
formulated for optimal nutrition. Are they making our dogs healthier?
129
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.759
Is it building up that immune system? If it is,
130
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.080
then why has that lifespan gone from a dog from
131
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.879
approximately fifteen to twenty one twenty two years of age
132
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.080
on average two in many cases down to seven or
133
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.600
eight years old. If it's making them healthier, why are
134
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.480
we seeing more and more and more cases of all
135
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.759
different types of cancers, diabetes? Why are our dogs going blind?
136
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.639
Why are do our dogs and cat's teeth require all
137
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.679
kinds of extensive dental care now when they never used to.
138
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.960
My opinion is is we have actually overdone what we
139
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.960
think was good. We've been sold on the idea that
140
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.120
the more you do, the better off you're going to be.
141
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.600
But in my experience and in my opinion, the ones
142
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.799
that benefit from all this preventive stuff is the people
143
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.840
that sell it and the people that make it. When
144
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.120
we look at something like heartworm, chances of your animal
145
00:09:55.639 --> 00:10:00.440
getting artworms is very slim in nature. In fact, nature
146
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.080
somewhere's around three percent of all wild canines get heartworms.
147
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.919
And of course, if you're in anything in a you
148
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.320
know north America and a northern part of the country.
149
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:17.120
The summers are so short that realistically you're not going
150
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.720
to have a problem with those mosquitoes casting on those heartworms.
151
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.039
And yet you're giving this medication, and you're buying this
152
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:29.440
medication to give for twelve months a year. The chances
153
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.320
of them even becoming infected it might only be a
154
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.559
thirty or sixty day window. The same thing is true
155
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.360
with fleas. You don't find fleas in where I grew
156
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.519
up Western New York. In the middle of winter time,
157
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.679
fleas are under two feet three feet of snow, dead, frozen,
158
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.039
you know, hoping for a very very hot and moist
159
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.440
spring to be able to hatch out those eggs. Again,
160
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.960
we're doing this these preventives twenty four seven, three sixty five,
161
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.919
just on that front alone. Just looking at those procedures
162
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.600
for those couple of vectors, if you will, you're looking
163
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:17.159
at putting in a lot, a whole bunch of toxic chemicals.
164
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.799
Basically you're poisoning the animal. You're setting the animal up.
165
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.600
They have poisonous blood for those insects, Well, you think
166
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.360
those poisons are only going to work on the insect alone,
167
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.120
that they're specific to fleas or heartworms. No, they kill
168
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.679
all kinds of life, including the dog and cat. Many
169
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.720
of the so called allergy symptoms that we see are
170
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.720
nothing more than the body trying to eliminate the toxins
171
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.840
that are in the body. Allergies are a form of detoxification,
172
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.120
comes out through his skin and the coat and the ears,
173
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.759
the anal glands, eye discharges, all kinds of secondary issues,
174
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.960
and our way of attacking that is more toxic chemicals.
175
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.720
H do you think that might have a profound impact
176
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.440
on the immune system of your precious pet. Do you
177
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.120
think it's really necessary to keep embarding them with all
178
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:19.039
these poisons. Now we have this toxic body that has
179
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.320
to try to recover, that has to try to fight diseases.
180
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.639
So now we can look at the injectables so called
181
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:32.639
to prevent puppy diseases, adult diseases, flu all kinds of
182
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:38.480
exotic disease conditions that the average household pat would never encounter.
183
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:45.120
You know, on the side of some of these treatments,
184
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.720
you take a disease like leptosepurosis, very very rare in
185
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:57.279
captive animals. Wild animals can transmit and can be burdened
186
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.799
by these diseases. However, the argument that's used is, Okay,
187
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:07.960
even in the urban areas, you still have things like raccoon,
188
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:13.440
and if it's carrier of liptoseporosis and it urinates and
189
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.840
that urine gets into a puddle and your pet drinks
190
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.200
the water, oh my god, you're going to have a
191
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.840
problem with liptoseporosis. Well do we ever take and consider
192
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.360
that in a healthy animal, the immune system actually takes
193
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.679
care of a lot of these actually builds something called
194
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:40.399
antibodies to protect itself against these vectors, these diseases, that
195
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.759
the body can actually heal itself, which is what it's
196
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.720
designed to do. It's design to heal itself and rebuild itself.
197
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.360
Do we replace almost every cell in our body on
198
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:53.679
a regular basis, so you know, part of our approach is,
199
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.320
of course, if I'm going to rebuild these cells, if
200
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.399
I'm going to replace these cells, I want to replace
201
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.000
them with healthy ones, not ones that are carrying poisons,
202
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.399
not carrying oxen So again I asked the question, is
203
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.600
more better? I don't think so. And as far as
204
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.159
these products are concerned, I think we need to go
205
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:18.600
back to essentially the one and done technique. My dog
206
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.799
has got fleas. I treat for it. I kill them. Ticks,
207
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.559
I remove them. If I'm going to do anything with heartworms,
208
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.039
I'm going to do it in the season where they
209
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.759
might be susceptible, and when I treat and when I
210
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.960
use products to be able to control this, I want
211
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.320
to look at how it's done in nature, because, let's
212
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.840
face it, if these pleas and ticks and heartworms and
213
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.879
all these other parasites, these worms and everything else were
214
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.639
so so dangerous, there wouldn't be any wild animals left
215
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.799
on the face of the earth. But you see, they've
216
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.000
got an immune system that they builds over a lifetime,
217
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.120
and actually it starts when they're conceived and built up
218
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.799
and with the antibodies from mom's blood, and they can
219
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.279
fight it. They can take care of it. And when
220
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.279
I look at something like fleas, they're only on that
221
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.679
animal for a short time to get a blood meal.
222
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.360
If the blood doesn't taste good to them, they move on.
223
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.279
They don't want to eat healthy blood. They want an
224
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.600
immune suppressed animal. We're going to be right back with
225
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.799
