Always consult your physician before beginning any new diet, exercise,
5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:30.000
or treatment program. And then now it's time for Pet
6
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.880
Health Cafe, where your Pet has a Voice.
7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:42.159
And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru, and
8
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.359
welcome to the Pet Health Cafe to show where your
9
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.960
Pet has a Voice. This is Bill the Pet Health
10
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.479
Guru is starting out another year of exciting shows. As
11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.359
we always begin the show, I want to remind people
12
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.439
to subscribe and share, and like these podcasts, it's very
13
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.479
important to keep our algorithms up. The more people that listen,
14
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.640
the more people we can help and save, and the
15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.680
more pets that are going to be healthy. Since they
16
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.640
can't speak for themselves, we have to speak for them,
17
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.239
so it's important that we learn these lessons and do
18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.480
the best that we can in promoting good health and
19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.159
well being for our pets. Again, the comment the chat
20
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.599
room is open for comments, so any questions or comments
21
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.879
you might have are welcome as always, and I would
22
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.879
like to bring up a topic that was brought to
23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.359
me by one of our listeners, and it is different
24
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.359
types of eye problems. It seems that again, just like
25
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.799
most of the other things that I address on this show,
26
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.719
we're seeing more and more ie issues with many of
27
00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:00.280
our pets, and because of that, obviously it becomes or
28
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.480
can become a very very costly endeavor to try to
29
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.280
figure out what the challenges are because you're obviously dealing
30
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.599
with a specialist normally in the veterinary field, although that
31
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.360
can be questioned as well as how deep that specialty goes,
32
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.319
what their understanding really is of the problem and why
33
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.840
these things do occur. Now, first and foremost, we have
34
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.159
to understand that our eyes are very very sensitive and
35
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.639
actually are an extension of our brain, and because of that,
36
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:46.439
they possess very unique tissue and very unique challenges in
37
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.400
taking care of them. Although they are quite defensive in
38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.240
their own nature, stop and think about your eyes are
39
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.199
exposed to everything that's in the air all day and
40
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.479
most of the night. You know, yes, at night when
41
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.520
you're sleeping, your eyes are closed, but most of the
42
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.240
day your eyes are open, and they have mechanisms that
43
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.719
keep them clean and moist and healthy all the time,
44
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.080
and when they don't do this is when we become
45
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.680
very very concerned and need to take another look at
46
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.400
what's really going on now. I don'tlind a few things
47
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.520
that I want to address here on the eyes and
48
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.240
what are some of the causes of eye problems and
49
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.240
that can have a very very heavy bearing on how
50
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.479
we're going to treat it. I want to thank you
51
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.840
for listening, one of my old clients, and happy New
52
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:49.360
Year to everyone out there, by the way. And it's
53
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.360
so nice to see that people that have been following
54
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.159
us for years and years and years. But getting back
55
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.960
to our our eye problems, our eyes are under constant
56
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:01.000
assault them. Think about what they're exposed to on an
57
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:06.080
average day. All the chemicals that are in our atmosphere,
58
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.560
in the air are being assaulting those eyes, and they
59
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.479
have to be cleaned in and those chemicals have got
60
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.680
to be neutralized to keep us healthy, help those eyes healthy.
61
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.240
Think about the amount of particulates, things like dust and
62
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:28.120
sought ust and pollen, even mold spores and everything else
63
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:36.079
that are continuously having assaults on their eyes. I'm already looking.
64
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.959
I've got comments already coming in here. Eye problems due
65
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.079
to allergies or other issues. Allergies are. I'm going to
66
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.680
address those separately because I actually did a whole show
67
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.199
on those. Allergies are nothing more than toxins. But one
68
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.519
of the symptoms of detox, of course, are some of
69
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.279
these eye problems that I'm going to get into. And yes,
70
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.560
they do have a lot of the same eye problems
71
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.360
that people do, our pets and people we share. The
72
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.040
tissue is very, very similar, and therefore we have to
73
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.399
approach it the same way. But again, stop to think
74
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.439
about the assault. Now. I don't know you know where
75
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.439
some of you are listening from, but I can tell
76
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.720
you down here in South Florida, for the last probably
77
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.680
week week and a half, the skies have been painted
78
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:28.079
white with what are commonly known as chemtrails. And because
79
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.480
of this large amount of chemical activity in the air,
80
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.879
it creates a great deal of irritation on that eye,
81
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.639
and that eye has got to continuously get rid of
82
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.959
these chemicals, cleanse it, which is one of the causes
83
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.439
main causes number one of not only like scratchy eyes,
84
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.399
itchy eyes, things of that nature, but also many many
85
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.199
what we consider to be upper respiratory type problems. Because
86
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.160
our eyes are watering. Of course, all that moisture drips
87
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.399
down into the sinus area. We're going to run. Knows
88
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.639
you're sneezing, your dog is sneezing, and of course in
89
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.959
us then we're also it goes down our throat. When
90
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.800
it does, we get a sort we might get a
91
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:14.879
sore throat because of all that activity, just irritating and
92
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.360
swallowing constantly gets into our stomach. Now we've got an
93
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.759
upset stomach, but just that chemical of assault on our eyes.
94
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.720
And let's face it, it's like I said, it's almost
95
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.040
twenty four to seven. Even when you're sleeping, there is
96
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.920
a little bit of via movement and of course your air,
97
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.120
the air is still coming into your eyes as well.
98
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.680
It's uh, you know, it's really really a problem. And yes,
99
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.800
a lot I've been noticing the same thing. A lot
100
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600
of these planes that are spraying are coming closer and
101
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.920
closer to the ground, so we're getting more of a concentration. Also,
102
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.079
there's been a lot of reports that they've been using drones,
103
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.720
especially in the middle of the night, because there's they're quiet,
104
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.560
there's island pretty much and you won't see them. And
105
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.199
if they're below a certain level. I think it's four
106
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.120
hundred feet. They can kill the lights on them, and
107
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.680
they're not going to be as much of a hazardous
108
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.519
planes as if they're above that four hundred foot range.
109
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.879
So it's again it's concentrated. They could literally create a
110
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.560
problem for any individuals they want just by hovering those
111
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:35.439
drones in a very distinct location. So cam trails are
112
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.560
a major major issue. Of course, spraying for other types
113
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:46.319
of things, everything from painting, spraying, insecticidal products, lawn chemicals,
114
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.800
all of these things take their toll if you're in
115
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.079
an agricultural area. Of course, they're flying over spraying this
116
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.279
stuff on crops. So again the same thing. If you
117
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.560
ever notice these exterminators in these crop clusters, they all
118
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.079
wear protective asks to shield their eyes because these chemicals
119
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:10.120
can literally burn out the eye itself. Now as one
120
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.600
of the irritations and one of the problems, of course
121
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.920
is the toxicity which I just mentioned. Other causes of
122
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:23.240
various eye infection eye problems, if you will, is genetics.
123
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.279
You know, there's a lot of breeds of both cast
124
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.879
and dogs. A lot of the bracophilic breeds, the basically
125
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.279
pushed in nose their eyes have a tendency to be
126
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.919
bulgy and more exposed to different types of accidents and injuries,
127
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.919
which of course is another one of the major causes
128
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.639
of eye problems. So you know, you might get more scratching,
129
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:54.240
you might get more abrasion, and of course the absorption
130
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.759
rate of the toxins is going to be much much
131
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.840
greater in these particular breeds. That's that's also a problem.
132
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:06.600
Of course, some dogs and genetically have problems with their eyelids.
133
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:11.639
Now I'm speaking primarily looking at it from what you
134
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.879
and I as pat owners have to deal with, and
135
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.759
you know I don't I'm not going to get into
136
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.000
a lot of the different areas in medicine because that's
137
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.480
a whole other can of worms that I don't always
138
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.360
agree with. But I want to kind of bring out
139
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.600
what we can do, what we how we can address them,
140
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.120
how we can identify them and be able to avoid
141
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.039
costly veterinary bills. Now, injuries, of course, are another portion
142
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:44.559
of that. Infections another cause of a lot of eye problems. Now,
143
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.200
how do we be how do our eyes become infected? Well,
144
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.559
as I just mentioned the irritation, you know, if we're
145
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.639
using if we're continuously having to clean how much fluid
146
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.000
can we produce that's going to clean and neutral eye
147
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:04.720
as all these chemicals and of course, as with chemicals
148
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.279
and even bacteria and things of that nature, if it
149
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:13.360
starts to accumulate, there's a toxin there, that material, that
150
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:19.240
fluid is going to become mucacy. That's the body basically
151
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.480
walling off those toxins. So of course then we start
152
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.000
to see the you know, basically what people call igunk.
153
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.039
You know, it's got to be you know it it's
154
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.919
causing an issue. That's where bacteria can start to grow,
155
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.080
causing an infection. So again this is one of the
156
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.559
areas that we have to be concerned about. Now, taking
157
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.000
these three or four items into consideration, what can we
158
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.600
have control over and how can we basically help our
159
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.919
pets out. Well. The first thing, of course, is not
160
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:57.360
exposed them to a lot of different issues. Obviously we
161
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.720
still have if it's in the air, you don't see
162
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.559
a lot of problem. We don't have a lot of
163
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.039
control over that. We can do things though to mitigate
164
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.679
the problems. You know, we can do eye cleaning and
165
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.840
making sure that that igunk doesn't build up. I'll just
166
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.519
cleaning it out a little bit of saline solution is us.
167
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.799
Other things that I use I love like Solvereign silver
168
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.279
and solven copper, both of which are disinfecting. It can
169
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.519
help out with cleaning the eyes, keeping them free from
170
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:32.039
irritation and adding some relief to that. Another thing that
171
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.200
I use, of course is my ionized water. That's a
172
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.200
great thing for cleaning out that igung to adjust the
173
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:42.559
phs to whatever you need well on the acidic side
174
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.679
for disinfecting, on the alkaline side, for acting as an
175
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.519
emulsifier the soak up and basically glue that gunk together
176
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.639
so we can get it out of the way. Both
177
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.759
of those are our excellent ways of just everyday maintenance,
178
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.159
and you know that it's going to help. I mean,
179
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.440
I've come across animals that literally that eyegunk has been
180
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:08.799
so bad when they bring the animal to me that
181
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.080
the eyelid is actually glued shut. And you know, we
182
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.000
use a lot of warm water, a lot of warm
183
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.679
saline solution, things of that nature to break it loose
184
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.879
so that we can then start to flush out the
185
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:27.519
eyes and help out with that. So you know, it's
186
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.000
one of those things you have to kind of check
187
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.039
on on a daily basis. If you think, you know,
188
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.799
if you've been out and I know, we had a
189
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:41.200
event here in South Florida a few days ago where
190
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.960
we woke up to extremely heavy fog. As I took
191
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.440
the dog out to walk the dog, I could smell,
192
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.240
literally smell the chemicals in the in the air. This
193
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.600
was not a normal fog. This was actually man made.
194
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.679
And you know a lot of people will hear here
195
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.519
goes Bill again with his conspiracy theories. Now, it was
196
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.600
funny because within a day or two of that event happening,
197
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.559
there were podcasts showing the patents by the that are
198
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.159
held by the US, by the governments and by the military.
199
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.360
They use these as biological warfare items and weather manipulation items,
200
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.519
so they are real and you don't get any warning
201
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.679
when it happens. Of course, you know, we do need
202
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.159
to do that kind of string. Good comment just came up. Yes,
203
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.000
a lot of these toxins in the air, of course
204
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.960
on the New Year's and of course the fourth of
205
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.960
July is another biggie. Are the fireworks. I mean, those
206
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.360
fumes are loaded with toxin and they're going to again
207
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:53.600
irritate the eyes. Even sometimes the flashing of bright lights.
208
00:13:53.679 --> 00:14:01.159
That explosive nature of fireworks can basically cause the eye
209
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.840
to work over time that you know, opening and closing,
210
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.279
so that we don't have excessive light going in and
211
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.000
damaging cells that sort of thing. We also have to
212
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:18.399
be careful about things like different light frequencies because you know,
213
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.360
we've all heard about the you know, the pointers and
214
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.279
stuff like that that can actually cause temporary blindness if
215
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.840
they hit your eye. So these are all things that
216
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.039
we can be exposed to and you know, and just
217
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.360
a split second, and our pets are just as vulnerable,
218
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.759
if not more so, because they're not consciously looking for
219
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.600
this kind of danger and it's a shame that we
220
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:49.399
subject them to that. So as pet parents, we need
221
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.399
we need to be vigilant in avoiding the types of
222
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.639
things that are going to cause these types of problems,
223
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.559
the infections and the knee injuries. It's it's amazing the
224
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.120
way the body responds. Think about ourselves. Even you know
225
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:11.960
you're walking through uh, you know, heavy brush or puliage
226
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.879
type things and you're you know, you're pushing away branches
227
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:19.519
and things there's running, our body actually reacting gets out
228
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:23.200
of the way of these things coming at our eyes
229
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.679
so that we are protected. The body has that ability
230
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.639
to do that. Just on something on saltwater pools that
231
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.600
popped up here and use of salt water in a pool. Okay, yeah,
232
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.480
it is just like in you know, we we recommend
233
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.799
that mean being down here in South Florida, a lot
234
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.120
of our animals that have different health problems, take them
235
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.759
down to the beach, let them get in the ocean.
236
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:53.039
That's seawater. That salt water is excellent for a number
237
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.399
of things. And now one of my staff members, our
238
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.519
team members here at over at my paleopat heard they
239
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.879
go down to the beach all the time and our
240
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.799
dog drinks a ton of sea water just by his nature.
241
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.960
And of course the first thing he does is when
242
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.639
he gets out, he comes up and he vomits it
243
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.759
back up. Basically he's cleansing himself. He knows how to
