dam How are we doing, Doc, How are you doing? Hey?
12
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.759
Hanging in there. Another great day in the neighborhood. You
13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.520
know how it is. You know, it's it's pretty hot
14
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.200
down here in Florida. I'll tell you that.
15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.879
Yeah, it was time of year, August, right.
16
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.599
Yeah, we still got another month of this. It's it's
17
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.480
like crazy. And of course you know the rain. I mean,
18
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.719
I was walking the dog this morning, the sun shining
19
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.560
just as bright as can be, and I'm getting rained
20
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.280
on in like a two block area. It's like, okay,
21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.200
that's a great way to start the day out. You know, sunshine, soaken,
22
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:33.239
wet Yeah. Uh so, well, welcome back Eman. Been down
23
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.560
for a little while, so it's good to have you
24
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:40.000
back here. Yeah. Yeah, let's let's let's say I want
25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.000
I want to make this a fantastic show because we're
26
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.200
talking about something that I don't think we've ever talked
27
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.120
about cancer have we every show?
28
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.959
Yeah?
29
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.120
Oh yeah. I mean there's a whole bunch of stuff
30
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.799
in it coming out. And you know, there was an
31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.560
article that I saw on social media put out by
32
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.599
one of those celebrity vets out there, you know, and
33
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.560
it again, it was one of those things that just
34
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.759
drives me crazy because the the title was is your
35
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.919
pets bump a harmless lump or a tumor? Now? Is
36
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.639
there any lump? I'm gonna start out right with the
37
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.840
question up front, is there any lump that's really good?
38
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.759
Well, it depends upon your perspective. I mean, you know,
39
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.639
from a homeopathic perspective, we look at all lumps is.
40
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:30.919
The same, no matter.
41
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.120
I mean, it's not good, but it's doesn't mean that's
42
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.479
oh my god, it's a death sentence.
43
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:35.199
Right.
44
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.520
That's the problem is the allopathic mindset is you know,
45
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.159
when you get a lump or a bump, is it
46
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.000
malignant or this we biopsye it or stick a needle
47
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.280
in it or take it off.
48
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.719
And you know, really, again, what.
49
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.039
We look at it as is a is a defense
50
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.319
strategy of the body to push to the outside tendencies
51
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.319
that are you know, involving the entire body. So the
52
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.960
body is just trying to do what it can do
53
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.960
to strategize that tendency. And then if we come along
54
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.479
with needles or scalpel blaze and take them off, then
55
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.560
we're left with a deeper suppressed state. And then that's
56
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.800
when tumors can become more aggressive. It's not these ones
57
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.439
on the surface most of the time.
58
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.879
Well, even though even the smallest of small, aren't I mean,
59
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.199
those are kind of warning signs, aren't they. I Mean
60
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.719
it's like the yellow caution light coming on and off
61
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.840
that maybe you better look here.
62
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.800
Absolutely, yeah, it's it is a warning sign for sure.
63
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.879
And as I said, I don't care what the tissue,
64
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.159
what the diagnosis is, allopathically right, because our treatments, whether
65
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:45.960
it's from your perspective or mind, are going to be
66
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.240
the same. And unless the tumor of growth is becoming
67
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.759
extremely painful or ulcerating or bleeding where it's really interfering
68
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.199
with the quality of that dose are cat's life, then
69
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.439
you know, it's best off being dealt with in the
70
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.080
ways that you and I both know, which is, you know,
71
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.280
to encourage the body to heal itself, which we know
72
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:05.879
it kind.
73
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:05.879
Of do.
74
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.479
Exactly, and of course you know the home the whole
75
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.400
thing is that it's a symptom that the body is
76
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.800
out of balance, out of ho many stasis.
77
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:18.360
Right.
78
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.800
And then it's your job, is my job, and most
79
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.360
importantly the pet owner's job to take that step back
80
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.279
and say what did I just do? What did I
81
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.040
do over the last six months? What have I done
82
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.240
throughout its lifetime? Right? And start to back that up
83
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.240
and say, okay, you know, I mean when we you know,
84
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.519
when you and I look at it, it's like we
85
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.000
can see that, okay, you made this mistake. You made
86
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.240
this mistake, and you know, okay, we can start to
87
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.639
rectify it. But it's not going to go away right
88
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.879
in a way. The body is not going to come
89
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.120
back into balance like in five point seven seconds. It's
90
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.319
you know, just because I gave a pill or a
91
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.199
remedy or even the food, it's going to take time
92
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.399
for that whole them to start to adjust, isn't it.
93
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.519
Yeah, And then how the body heals is through inflammation
94
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.480
and discharge. So these grosser tumors can get more angry
95
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.560
looking or they.
96
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.639
Start the body starts to form.
97
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.879
An inflammatory response around it, and then you know, we
98
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.160
have to be careful, our clients have to be careful
99
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.920
not to just assume that that's the disease getting worse,
100
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.040
but it's the body trying to do what it is
101
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:22.759
supposed to do.
102
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.199
You know, I find it interesting that, you know, when
103
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.360
the number of animals that I see that when they
104
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.759
come in and you know, they've got all these you know,
105
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.480
fatty fatty tumors that as they refer to, and they're
106
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.560
being told, well, don't worry about it, don't worry about
107
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:50.279
don't worry about it, and you know that it's it's
108
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.639
you know, it's just part of getting old. And that
109
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.439
just rives me crazy because it's like, you know, here's
110
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.439
the bodies flashing. Do something, do something, do something. And
111
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.879
of course, you know, on the allopathic side, you know,
112
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.959
you don't have very many options. It's drugs and surgery,
113
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.279
like you say, or radiation basically, and that creates its
114
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.720
own set of its own cascade of issues because now
115
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.600
in the body's got to heal from whatever you've done.
116
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:24.439
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's you know, unless an animal and
117
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.680
I think you and I we were discussing the other
118
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.600
day when we were having lunch, unless an animal is
119
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:37.959
has a lifetime history of just powerful drugs. You know,
120
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.079
the animals you know, can't move cannie. You know, it's
121
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.199
just you know, those are some occasional cases where I'll
122
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.439
use or I'll suggest maybe going to some palliative integrative care.
123
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:49.959
You know.
124
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.839
We went over a case that I had just this
125
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.399
past week of a four year old French bulldog with lymphomo,
126
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.079
which is the number one cancer we see in dogs
127
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.480
and cats. And it was such a sad medical history.
128
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.560
And the dog was early on a steroid and a
129
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.600
and a powerful and you know, suppressive agent, so two
130
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.920
very powerful medicines for years for two years. And you know,
131
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.079
it had a history of digestive issues and hernias and
132
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.000
all sorts of vomiting and skin problems, and it had
133
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.759
the usual gamut of side A point and other allergy
134
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.600
treatments and then all of a sudden, you know, surprise, surprise,
135
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.439
the dog came down with lymphoma and the dog wasn't
136
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.079
doing well, and she called me and I said to her,
137
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.000
you know, I can do a pure homeopathic approach, we
138
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.279
can do a herbal approach, but it's going to take time,
139
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.800
it's not and she just wanted her animal to feel better.
140
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.519
And once I hear that, I know that. You know,
141
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.199
especially with a history like that that you know, we
142
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.040
have to advise clients on what the process is and
143
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.000
can't sugarcolor. Like you said, takes time, and so I
144
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.000
suggested for her to consider an integrative approach rather than
145
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.360
not doing chemo but just right, just kind of a
146
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.079
more of an integrated press because she wasn't going to
147
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.720
wait the weeks and weeks to allow the body to
148
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.439
do what it needs to do. And in a pet
149
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.399
like that, Bill, sometimes the body's really challenged. It's been
150
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.639
slammed into the oblivion. So you know, it's really hard
151
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.560
to rally that body, you know, to heal itself.
152
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:24.920
It can.
153
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.079
I believe it can with enough time, but sometimes clients
154
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.519
don't want to give it the time.
155
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.240
Well, you know, you know it's something you just mentioned. Now,
156
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.600
it's like when when those clients finally come in and
157
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.639
we know that they've been battling. Well, we also know
158
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.960
that they've spent a ton of money, and you know
159
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.320
now they're concerned about the financial part of it as well.
160
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.840
But you know, one of the one of the interesting
161
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.000
things is, you know, I just recently heard I don't
162
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.840
know you might be able to advise me on this,
163
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.159
but one of the new treatments for you know, for
164
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.799
this kind of problem, the cancers and even the skin
165
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.360
problems and everything else, is this strange treatment called nutrition.
166
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.559
You know, it's like and those clients they come in,
167
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.200
in fact, I had one this week. They came in
168
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:17.919
and it's like, Bill, I put the food down, I
169
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.759
put real food down. And of course with this particularly
170
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.879
when we went to a raw diet right away, and
171
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.799
it's like they can't wait, they can't wait. And this
172
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.759
was one of these clients that this was a cat,
173
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.639
and you know how tough cats could be. The switch
174
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:37.320
it's like just went absolutely nuts and they're like, this
175
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:42.000
animal is so much happier. You know, when they're happy,
176
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.080
when they start to do that. Number One, you as
177
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:48.399
a pet parent, you got to be feeling good, and
178
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.159
you know you have to be also questioning, Gee, those
179
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.960
shots and those pills. I fight with them with the pills,
180
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.960
I you know, all this other stuff that's not a
181
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.679
happy situation. And they won't eat their specialty food that
182
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.759
they would put on. You know, they just they have
183
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.840
no energy. They you know, they look they look horrible, right,
184
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.559
And just to see this overnight in two, three, four days,
185
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:19.519
five days, maybe a week. I mean, even if the
186
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.559
disease isn't you know, regressing as quickly as we want,
187
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.200
isn't it a much better place to be than you know,
188
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.159
providing more suffering through drugs and you know, other procedures
189
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.200
and things of that nature.
190
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.559
Absolutely, yeah, I agree, Well put m.
191
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:43.840
It's you know, it's I don't know. Sometimes some days
192
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.879
that you know, as I told you, it's like you
193
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:51.320
get so frustrated because there's still you know, most people
194
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.679
were turning their whole world upside down when it comes
195
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.440
to this stuff. You know, there's this professional in the
196
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.879
white coats that I shouldn't be feeding people food, which
197
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.679
I did a whole show on people food that there
198
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.480
is no difference. I mean, it's food or it's not food.
199
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:11.200
That's that's the whole thing. There's only this species appropriate
200
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:20.240
and in many cases you're actually being intimidated because the
201
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.840
animal says, no, I don't want it. I'm not going
202
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.159
to take this root. I'm not going to take this medication.
203
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.240
I don't care how how far down you might throw
204
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.480
you stick it, I'm still going to spit it out
205
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.919
because they innately know that that's not that the right
206
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.879
thing to do, don't.
207
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:42.080
They right, No, they do, absolutely, they know what the
208
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:42.720
right thing is.
209
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.480
You know, they're innate, you know, knowledge, the energy, the
210
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.759
vitality of the chiat of the animal knows exactly the
211
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.440
right thing to do.
212
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.440
So it's yes, yeah, I.
213
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.480
Mean, you know they go out. I mean I don't
214
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.600
know lately. I mean with all the everything that's going
215
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.799
on in the air and everything else. Even my own
216
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.080
dog's going out and I have to yell because she's
217
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:09.039
eating grass. She's picking certain grasses and basically at times
218
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.639
it looks like I think I got a cow. I mean,
219
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.559
she's going along that trying to grab that much. But
220
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.679
it's only very specific ones. And how does she know
221
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:23.519
which ones to do? You know, it's not every single one. Yeah,
222
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:30.200
And it's it's amazing that in nature they know that
223
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.200
there's an imbalance. They're not looking at the tumor. Are
224
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.600
they No, not at all. They don't. Even unless it's
225
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.879
really in a bad place that's obstructing movement or creating pain,
226
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.399
they just ignore it.
227
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.960
I mean, hey, they just go about their bay, you know,
228
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.000
being who they are, their normal happy self, and you
229
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.879
know they've got something on them might be a little
230
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.679
annoying or irritating, but they're not you see that. That's
231
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.080
another point I'm glad you brought up, billis is that
232
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.919
with you know, I don't with human guardians. With guardians,
233
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.519
you know, the biggest part of why people, you know,
234
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.600
go down the tubes when they have cancer.
235
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.960
Number one, it's a lot of the treatments that they
236
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:10.759
choose to get.
237
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.000
But the other aspect is is that it's the you know,
238
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:19.240
the cascade of you know, stress induced biochemical events in
239
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.480
the body that occur once people find out that diagnosis,
240
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.200
and so the body goes into a you know, such
241
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.320
a shutdown when just the knowledge of cancer is there,
242
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.639
and you know, that is just as powerful sometimes as
243
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.320
the knowledge and the fear that goes into having cancer.
