15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.599
the chat room will be open for questions and comments.
16
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.319
And what we're going to talk about is one of
17
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.000
those those topics that's kind of like up there in
18
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.799
the stratosphere right now on all the health pages, if
19
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.000
you will, YouTube and Spotify and Facebook and everything else,
20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.480
and that has to deal with the fact that we've
21
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.040
discovered that the second brain basically is driving everything, and
22
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.519
that's basically our gut and digestion. Now, with that being said,
23
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.239
I want to bring in my special guest, doctor Michael
24
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.719
dimm And, who's a frequent visitor on our show. How
25
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:46.359
you doing, Doc?
26
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.519
All right, great to be here, Bill.
27
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.959
Yeah, So we're gonna be talking about guts. You know
28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.439
that sounds really really good, doesn't it.
29
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.560
There's a raceource name guts once a harness.
30
00:01:59.200 --> 00:01:59.760
Oh was there?
31
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.439
Yeah, I guess he had guts.
32
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:11.639
Yeah, yeah, evidently. Uh, but so much disease that we see. Basically,
33
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.479
if you clear up the gut, a lot of it
34
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.639
goes away, doesn't it.
35
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.960
It sure does. Like you said, it's the you know,
36
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.280
the other immune system. It's the main immune system. It's
37
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.120
the main gateway to the rest of the body. And uh,
38
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.759
you know, so many of our animal patients come in
39
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:31.560
with unhealthy, imbalanced the guest or intestinal tracks, so you know,
40
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.319
I know we often start at that level, whether it
41
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.319
be through food or other measures that we'll talk about.
42
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.199
Yeah, it's interesting I heard it coming on in the podcast,
43
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.919
just as last week when doing some research on this,
44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.960
and that the body has only two openings, the mount
45
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.120
and the butt and everything. He's got to go through
46
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.479
that in order to help us out. So what happens
47
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.120
in that space in between is really where let's face it,
48
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.800
that's where everything has weapons. I mean, it's not happening
49
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.800
in our hands. I mean we're shoveling it in our
50
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.159
face with our hands. But other than that, the hands
51
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.280
don't really absorb any any benefits for the most part.
52
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.159
Our feet the same way. Yes, they are organs of
53
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:17.479
detoxification and absorption, but without the gut, you can't live.
54
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.280
No, And I'm glad you brought up the fact that
55
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.759
you know, as I talked about with clients all the time,
56
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.199
is that you know, digestive tract runs from the mouth
57
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.840
through the anus. It's not just the stomach and the
58
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.080
small intestines and the large intestines. But you know, certainly
59
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.680
the whole process begins in the oral cavity with the
60
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.719
you know, with the floor that's there and the health
61
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.039
of the tissues that's there, the saliva and of course
62
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.199
our animals and I know you talk about this all
63
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.080
the time. You know, don't have the you know, the
64
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.879
enzymes to adequately digest certain types of nutrients that we do.
65
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:56.439
So and yeah, it all starts in the mouth, you
66
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:57.400
know where things begin.
67
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.879
Well, it's interesting because you know how little people really
68
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.240
think about it, because I mean basically, the moment you
69
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.120
put something in your mouth, the body goes into First off,
70
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.840
it started producing hydrochloric acid to digestive food in the
71
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.959
in the stomach area. But it's also starting immediately to
72
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.959
absorb nutrients and benefits from the food while it's still
73
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.800
in the mouth. It's through those mucous membranes, aren't they
74
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.360
absolutely Yeah?
75
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.279
Yeah, And there you know there's a healthy you know,
76
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.199
bacterial flora in the mouth that is critical there too
77
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.399
with optimal functioning of that system.
78
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.040
Yeah, you know, I mean when people think about, you know,
79
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.279
bacteria in the mouth, of course, you know it's like
80
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.720
get the get the bottle of scope or you know,
81
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.959
listerine and let's kill it all. But actually, you know,
82
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.079
we need the right type and of course that's going
83
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.079
to take us down our journey down throughout that hole.
84
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.480
Got situation at whole digestive issue.
85
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.279
And so many animals too, they'll have you know, not
86
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.399
only they come in with digestive trouble. I mean you
87
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.079
look at their mouths and they're they're a mess. You know.
88
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.279
That's where, like I said, the gateway too to the
89
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.600
rest of the lower down GI tract. And so you know,
90
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.079
so many animals thing we talked about in many shows,
91
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.560
have so much dental problems which interfere with the effect
92
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.319
of you know, digestive health right from the get go.
93
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.040
And that's something that you like, you talk about all
94
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.879
the time. We never we never see we didn't see
95
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.079
forty fifty years ago, you know, animals with you know,
96
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.240
detal issues and gum problems and so you know, definitely
97
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.120
inhibited start of the digestive process.
98
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.519
Yeah, yeah, And you know, it's it's interesting because that
99
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.800
should be the first indicator if you've got problems in
100
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.560
the mouth. Okay, it tells you a whole bunch of
101
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.800
things that are going on. And you know, we've been
102
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.680
taught for the last it's no a little over almost
103
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.879
fifty years that you know, you got to brush your
104
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.879
dog's teeth, you got to keep them all clean. Everything
105
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.639
else that doesn't happen in nature, you know, at all.
106
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.639
And they don't have the dental problems that our dogs
107
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.199
and cats do. The body is able to fight what
108
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.240
little stuff they have. They get bones caught on our tooth,
109
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.519
they you know, scrape, you know, actually the bones are
110
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.519
scraping the tartar off. You know, they're eating pre digested
111
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.920
rotting food sometimes that's loaded with all kinds of what
112
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.120
we would consider bad bacteria, and they just you know
113
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.759
keep moving, you know, moving through life like nothing bothers them.
114
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.279
You know. So you know, as soon as your animals
115
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.199
starts having problems in the mouth areas, shouldn't they be
116
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.959
seeking some sort of you know, advice as to what
117
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.920
what protocols can be started. And we're you know, obviously
118
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.720
allopathic medicine you know, has one solution. You know, just
119
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.600
are turn them on that regiment of dental cleanings with
120
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:05.480
and honesthesia, and you know, give them a crunchier food
121
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.480
of carbohydrates.
122
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.360
Yeah, lovely every one, right, Yeah, give them kimbles so
123
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.720
that you know they can have the rushing effect of
124
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.439
the kimble on the teeth. And I always tell people,
125
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.120
you know, it's like that would be like you know,
126
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.879
a dent the human dentist time somebody to go and
127
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.199
chew on some cereal, you know, to help your dental
128
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.120
health for a person.
129
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.240
It's crazy. And I mean the thing is is, you know,
130
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.000
we know, you know, looking over the timelines. I mean,
131
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.279
like I said, back in the nineteen eighties, I started
132
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.480
selling dental equipment for cleaning teeth. I couldn't even give
133
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.560
it away to a veterinarian because that was not it
134
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.240
wasn't even in a veterinary code, let alone you know,
135
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.600
a normal practice. And then with artificial flavors in the foods,
136
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.480
you know, and the extra chemicals and everything else, all
137
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.000
of a sudden, it just went crazy. Of course, you know,
138
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.480
the marketing companies with the dog foods came out with
139
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.480
now sue for cleaner teeth, which they had to eliminate
140
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.399
because you FTC said, you're lying, you know, But we
141
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.519
also have been looking at the timeline if we didn't
142
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.680
have those problems prior to nineteen to nineteen eighties, and
143
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.279
it's where would you rate it now, like number two,
144
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.079
number three?
145
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.199
Believable? Yeah, I mean, in this information has been known.
146
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.519
I mean, I posted something on social media recently regarding
147
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.639
the Pottinger cat studies we're done back in the thirties
148
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.639
and where they fed cats, you know, raw fresh foods
149
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.000
at that time versus you know, cooked you know foods,
150
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.519
and they saw a tremendous exponential growth in a very
151
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.799
quick period of time in the same life or within
152
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.080
one or two generations of terrible dental decay and changes
153
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.720
in the in the skull of the animals just from
154
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.759
beating them, you know, processed cooked food. And again this
155
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.480
is decades before the commercial pet food industry.
156
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:02.720
So yeah, yeah, it's it's amazing. And like I said, okay,
157
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.399
so I've got a puppy, I started them out. Won't
158
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.519
talk about some of the other prevent all the other preventatives,
159
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.799
because we cover those on every show anyway, and we
160
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.960
don't want we don't want to disturb mystery YouTube out
161
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:19.919
there that doesn't like certain words. But so I noticed
162
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.000
that there's a little bit of a build up or
163
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.799
my dog has got a little bit of bad breath.
164
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.000
Who should they go to? Who should they talk to?
165
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.159
And what should the conversation look like?
166
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.600
Yeah, you know, well they need to go to people
167
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.279
like you or again, holistic veterinarians that aren't stressing the
168
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.840
other approaches to preventative healthcare, I mean, the you know,
169
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:43.879
the toxic conventional approaches, and immediately start with a species
170
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.679
appropriate diet. That's the cornerstone of it. You know, a
171
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.320
rotating raw meat protein diet. And you do that right
172
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.720
from the get go, and a lot of time you
173
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.080
give them the bones to chew on, and you know,
174
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.279
the natural flushing action of that on the teeth, I mean,
175
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.879
it's excellent or gum health and a lot of these
176
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.759
problems the mild tartar build up and the odor goes
177
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.279
away right away. I mean, it's just it doesn't take
178
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:14.679
a lot of fancy dental equipment and antibiotics and chlora
179
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.720
hexadine rinses and all the rest of it to make
180
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.559
sure that we have a healthy mouth. But certainly when
181
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.840
they come to you and me, often there's a lot
182
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.919
of pathology there. There's a lot of decay, and we
183
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.480
still can you reverse that with with what we do,
184
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.240
and whether it's with homeopathy or horrible therapies, and I
185
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.799
know you talk about all the time topical Manuka honey
186
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.240
or coconut oil. You know, we can certainly get on
187
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.960
top of a lot of these dental issues before they
188
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.279
become really advanced.
189
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:48.600
You know, in today's you know, fast paced world, and
190
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.279
with all a bad information that's already been dumped out there.
191
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.600
You know, I know that you've run across a few
192
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.879
cases recently. I run across it sometimes, and I mean
193
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.000
I can get internally, I get very very angry with
194
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.519
clients that, well, I can't feed you all. I can't
195
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:08.559
feed just a meat diet. You know, it just doesn't
196
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.679
make sense to me because I've been so indoctrinated, and
197
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.399
of course they've been indoctrinated with their own foods, you know,
198
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.919
which they're shopping in the middle of the supermarket, so
199
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.759
they're not even even eating food. But that's another topic
200
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.120
as well. But how do we how do you find
201
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.120
the best way to get through to them? Sometimes?
202
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.799
I mean, I mean I just tell them right from
203
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.799
the get go, how little and nutrition we get as
204
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.279
veterinarians in medical school. And I just start with that.
205
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.600
And you know that we get about two hours our
206
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.440
third year of venary medical school training and then we
207
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.559
were basically graduate with and in our early continuing education
208
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.399
where we're told or rhetoric, never give your animals anything
209
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.480
from the table or any you know, real food, meat
210
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.200
or other foods, and just feed a commercial kibble. And
211
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.320
I tell people that it's just we're not trained in that.
212
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.120
And then I just say, you know, just take a bag,
213
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.519
take a look at the ingredients or they can and
214
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.080
see if you can even recognize most of the ingredients
215
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.679
that are on there there, they're cryptic and foreign to me.
216
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.320
I don't even know what they after the meat the
217
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.240
more than I do. And if you don't understand what's
218
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.080
in your animal's food or your food, then how can
219
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.200
you wonder if it's going to be healthy for the animal.
220
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.159
So I use kind of discussions like that just you know,
221
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.519
introduce the idea of of you know, feeding a more
222
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:34.399
species appropriate diet. I certainly reference you all the time.
223
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.399
And you know doctor pitt Aaron before he went over
224
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.960
with the but you know that was for different reasons,
225
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.440
but you know, he was the original guy back in
226
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.960
the seventies, you know, probably around when you were too,
227
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.399
but he was one of the original guys that talked
228
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.879
about a raw meat diet back then, and so you know,
229
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:58.639
it's it's really something that unfortunately still hasn't changed. I
230
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.440
work with young Venanian alongside young veterinarians still and they're
231
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.360
worse than ever with the with the big companies, you know,
232
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.879
the you know, the Purina and our less with the
233
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.960
big companies that you know, get into the vet schools
234
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.480
and are still brainwashing young veterinarians. And it's so sad
235
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:19.240
and tragic because it's it's getting it's not getting any better.
236
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.600
You would think it would after all these years.
237
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.360
Yeah, I know I sent you. I think I sent
238
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:28.240
you a link on a podcast guy that spent thirty
239
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.840
years with prescription diets and you know, talking about it,
240
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.360
and we talk about ingredients and he's talking about the
241
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.320
science you have to look at the nutrients and it's
242
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.720
always the same tree and you know, we don't know
243
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.039
what we're talking about. And that dogs are omnivores. You know,
