7
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.520
This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, along with my special co host,

8
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.560
doctor Michael dim How are we doing, Doc, Well, I'm doing well.

9
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.439
Bill. How about yourself? Just
hanging in there, trying to do

10
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.159
the best we can. Finally,
the month is almost over, the end

11
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:10.560
of the under the theoretical summer,
right, That's right, However makes any

12
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.280
difference. Yeah, we've been battling
it, of course down here, and

13
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.280
you know, especially the West coast, but even on the East coast here

14
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:22.000
we've been battling early part of this
week this side effects of this hurricane,

15
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
haven't we Yeah, yeah, I
got some outer band rain here on the

16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.159
East coast with some wind and rain, but you know, at least we

17
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.799
didn't get the bulk of it,
and yeah, at least it didn't hit

18
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.680
all the populated areas of the West
coast. Yeah, yeah, that's a

19
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.840
good thing. And you know,
we you know, our prayers are always

20
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.280
with you know, those that get
hit with this stuff. And uh,

21
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.799
you know, of course, you
know, even in those areas, the

22
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:57.040
population has got pets and animals that
need basically they've been pretty much stressed out,

23
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.120
haven't they. Yeah. Yeah,
the animals that are already sensitive to

24
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.280
electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere, you
know, they're they're being more affected by

25
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:15.039
these big drops in diametric pressure and
you know, loud thunder and pouring rain.

26
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.840
I could just only imagine some of
the animals own anxiety and also mirroring

27
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:25.000
their guardians during these challenging those challenging
times. Yeah. Yeah, So,

28
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.520
I mean, you know, since
this is you know, our broadcast is

29
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.439
going all over the place that if
you're in an affected area and you know

30
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.919
you need some natural treatments to help
counter this, I mean, feel free

31
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.199
to reach out to either doctor Dim
for myself, and I know that you've

32
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.319
got lots of homeopathic remedies that would
be helpful during these times, and of

33
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.759
which we do the herbals as well. Yeah, yeah, it really is.

34
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.639
And there's a place in that for
our our human or the animal guardians

35
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.879
you know, as well as the
animals of course. Yeah, well pretty

36
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.120
much. And I know, well
both on the herbal and the homie up

37
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:12.199
homie a pathic side, it's pretty
much the same things we would be recommendique

38
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.280
for both, wouldn't it. Absolutely, Yeah, the remedies and the herbs.

39
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.680
No, no species boundaries, and
you know, any mammalian species can

40
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.680
benefit from the herbal botanicals and the
appropriately prescribe homeopathic remedies. Yeah, that's

41
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.479
for sure. Yeah, so you're
gonna have to share with your pet or

42
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.960
your pet's gonna have to share with
you, which either way it works.

43
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.759
Oh that's true. And so you
know a lot of people, you know,

44
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.879
again get very anxious during these times, and our pets pick up on

45
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.479
that. So it's a time that
certainly, you know, the herbs and

46
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:52.599
the remedies have a good place to
helping people on their animals get through these

47
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.560
challenging times. Yeah. And of
course, you know that kind of leads

48
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.479
us a little bit into our topic
tonight about addiction in animals and addictive drugs.

49
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.039
That are prescribed and that sort of
thing. You know, if you

50
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:10.240
went to an allopath about the said, you know, prior to a storm

51
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.960
or things like that, what kind
of things would they be prescribing, Well,

52
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.120
you know, typical sedatives. You
know, in the old days,

53
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.600
we used to prescribe a thorazine tranquilizer, which is a powerful you know,

54
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.360
human classification tranquilizer called ace promosine.
We used to use that drug for many,

55
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.959
many years. Yeah, we used
to use the benzodiazepines like valium or

56
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:42.800
xanix and those kind of drugs,
and only recently the veninary profession has now

57
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.879
gone over to using an old antidepressant
and a sleep aid called trazodome, which

58
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.959
is a very powerful you know drug
and this and it can have all sorts

59
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.519
of effects. It does work to
sedate the animals and drug them. But

60
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.519
certainly, I mean I found that
in the conventional VET clinics it's so prescribed

61
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.480
and over and over again, and
now you know, not just for the

62
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.279
anxiety with storms, but just generalizing
anxiety, where animals are prescribed these medications

63
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.720
every day, where originally they're intended
just to use during acute situations. But

64
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.079
what I've seen is is that more
and more prescriptions for longer term use are

65
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.920
being prescribed, and that leads to
the problems we're going to talk about,

66
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.399
which is, like you said,
addiction, which can happen in our animals

67
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.800
just like a canon people, right, And you know, in prepping,

68
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.319
of course, I pulled up you
know, addictive veterinary drugs, and I

69
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.319
mean a whole array of all the
opioids and fentanyl and things like that are

70
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:54.399
being not only used by themselves,
but in these these veterinarians and doctors are

71
00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:00.199
playing chemistry and mixing them together.
And yeah, what kind of reason else

72
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.680
are you going to get with that? Both physiologically and of course you know

73
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.439
mentally as well. Yeah, no, it's true. I mean, and

74
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.360
even you know, the opioids they're
sometimes prescribed in a patch form on the

75
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.920
surface of the body, so that
human you know, people can be exposed

76
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:25.240
to these powerful narcotics. You know, they use morphine patches and other narcotics

77
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.160
as you're saying, and so you
know, these are real powerful drugs,

78
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:34.120
and they you know, they not
only cause tremendous sidation and potential for addiction,

79
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.319
but have like you said, many
powerful physiological effects on the body,

80
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.519
including slowing down of the you know, the body's functions like the gut.

81
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.800
You know, often see you know, severe consultation in these animals that are

82
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.079
prescribed these medications, and you know, the whole use of them, you

83
00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.639
know, stems around the conventional veterinary
communities craze about quote unquote pain management,

84
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.759
which is where you know, people
you know, want to be mindful of

85
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:13.879
our animal's discomfort, but by using
our fears and insecurities. The whole pain

86
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.160
management industry is as exploded into like
what you said, is these combination medications

87
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:26.560
and often including powerful narcotics, which
again have a doing number on the mental

88
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.160
and physical bodies of our animal companions. Well, you know, the one

89
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.279
thing I you know, of course
that I always worry about it, of

90
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.959
course, even in a on the
human side, is as you start using

91
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.680
these more and more often, of
course, you're doing quite often on the

92
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.160
physical part of it, you're creating
sometimes a lot more damage in the body

93
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.759
because you just can't feel that joint
or that that muscle pain or whatever you're

94
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.319
happen to be combating. And they
just keep moving up the letter to more

95
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.199
and more powerful things don't they.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I totally

96
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.519
agree and yeah, you know,
and of course the other side of that

97
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:20.199
is your pet can't tell you what
they're really feeling or experiencing because there is

98
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.120
no common language. I mean,
what we could do is based on the

99
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.360
physical signs that we see, you
know, the limping or the you know,

100
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.200
apparent pain. The crying. Is
it crying because of pain or is

101
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.080
it crying because my body is not
working right right right? It could be

102
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.279
just anxiety over the discomfort of they're
not aware of what's going on. And

103
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.840
the thing about pain management bill in
our animals is that I don't want to

104
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.519
I want to make sure I weard
this correctly, is that their experience of

105
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.679
pain is totally different from humans.
For example, you know, for decades

106
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.440
we did spaces and neuters and routine
surgical procedures with no pain management, and

107
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.080
animals would run out of the office. They would be perfectly happy and wagging

108
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.440
their tails or purring cats. And
the truth of the matter is is that

109
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.039
you know, an ovario hysterectomy or
a neuter, you know, those animals

110
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.399
really don't suffer a lot of seemingly
discomfort, at least That's what I observed

111
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.919
over many decades of practice, and
I learned from a from an anesthesiologist in

112
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:33.480
vetsicle that the distribution of nerves and
our animals in terms of the mediation of

113
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.440
pain is different from humans. In
fact, you know, if a person

114
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.519
had an ovario hysterectomy or a castration, they would be in probably quite a

115
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.879
bit of pain and wanting pain.
Our animals really, you know, really,

116
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.000
I don't see or observe that much
discomfort in these routine procedures where my

117
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.799
profession is throwing. Uh, you
know, these powerful drugs, like you

118
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.080
said, in combination and for decades
we didn't use anything, and I don't

119
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.159
think those animals were experiencing you know, awful discomfort at least that's not what

120
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.639
I observed. Well, one of
the examples I use. I mean,

121
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600
you know, your your example is
a great one there from the veteran side

122
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.559
standpoint. But when I was growing
up, and that's sort of thing,

123
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.919
I spent a lot of time,
you know, on the farms and out

124
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.919
hunting and fishing and stuff like that. And you know, you let you

125
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.559
go out rabbit hunting or pheasant hunting, and you let the dogs out they're

126
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.799
going through briers and thorn apples and
everything else in their tail is just a

127
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.000
wagon and they're running through and you're
walking through, and you're you come out

128
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.840
of bloody mess, I mean,
you know, and the dog is as

129
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.799
happy as could be. Yeah.
Yeah, So a lot of times we

130
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:52.679
impinge our perspectives on our animals,
and very often our our own deflections of

131
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:58.600
our own feelings and sensations and our
own discomforts are kind of projected and sometimes

132
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.200
inaccurately. So yeah, yeah,
and it's and you know, of course

133
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.679
I say this is this can be
an issue because the animals can't tell us

134
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.960
what they're really experiencing. We can
only relate to what some of the humans

135
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:20.279
go through, not only we're taking
these drugs and the side effects that they

136
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.440
can actually have at the time of
being used, you know, I mean

137
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.080
some of these cause nausea and other
you know, hallucinations and things of that

138
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:37.639
nature immediately. But then of course
you've got to you've got to withdraw problem

139
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.759
on the backside that I don't think
it's ever been addressing veterinary medicine. No,

140
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.440
I don't think it's ever been really
been studied. As I said,

141
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.679
you know, drugs like you know
that they're using now for the thunderstorm phobia.

142
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.320
Is like the trazodone. That drug
is now being used for long term

143
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.440
control of anxiety, and it wasn't
really intended to be used that way.

144
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.440
And so animals will become dependent on
these things, and they can suffer from

145
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.720
rebound anxiety and rebound agitation once they
go off of them. So yeah,

146
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.519
you're absolutely correct. Yeah, And
of course the normal you know, you

147
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.600
know in a lot of the studies, of course on the human side,

148
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.480
is when they want, when you
want to get off of it, they

149
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.879
slowly wean you off and that sort
of thing. And the average veterinarian,

150
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.759
all right, you know, pain
meds for a month or two months,

151
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.960
and at the end of two months, it just stops cold turkey, doesn't

152
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.639
it. Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean another common drug used in

153
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:41.080
chronic pain management now in ventinary medicine
is gabba pennon, which hits the gabba

154
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.080
receptors in the brain, just like
the benzo diazepines. And in fact,

155
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.799
there's some consideration, I think in
certain states it already is that that particular

156
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.279
drug should be a controlled substance.
And because there are addictive tendencies to it.

157
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.759
People will often abuse it for their
own anxiety and their own discomfort and

158
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.440
pain. And it's such a commonly
prescribed drug in human medicine and we basically

159
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:13.000
borrowed it in venery medicine. Are
using it for everything from anxiety to nerve

160
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.440
pain to arthritis relief. And you
know, it's used chronically long term,

161
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.840
and you're right, it's just not
None of these things are studied in our

162
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.399
animals now. And the question I
have is with the use of most,

163
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.159
probably most of these, isn't it
completely considered off label uses? Absolutely?

164
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.679
It sure is. I mean,
to be honest with you. Build Most

165
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.159
of the drugs in venary medicine that
have been extrapolated from you know, the

166
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.919
human side of things are used off
label. There are very few approved drugs

167
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.720
in veninary medicine for specific conditions.
It's they're mostly applied from you know,

168
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.480
the human side of things, and
you know, so they're really not studied

169
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.919
in our most extensively. You know, several years, several years ago,

170
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.200
there was another drug that was very
popular to use it getting the opioid group

171
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.200
called traumadol, and that was prescribed
as you know, it's a mild narcotic,

172
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.000
but that was used also in you
know, indiscriminate ways. And then

173
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.720
the profession actually started to study that
particular drug and they actually found that the

174
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.480
dog's receptors couldn't even respond to that. So they were saying it wasn't doing

175
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.480
anything for pain, It was just
you know, because animals, certain opioid

176
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.360
receptors are different in our animals than
they are in people. And so then

177
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.480
the profession all of a sudden stopped
using that particular substance and just moved on

178
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.840
to the next one, which,
as I said, is often gab of

179
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.080
penton or other you know type pain
medications, right, you know, and

180
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.000
if it's being used off label,
And of course I've always hit a problem

181
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.840
with this, even on the human
side, but more so on the veginary

182
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.840
side. How do we know what
appropriate doses are that we should be using

183
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.480
and for what lengths of time?
And you know, shouldn't we if how

184
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.080
do you monitor that there's actually any
progress being made in the animal if they're

185
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.200
always doped up, Yeah, that's
true, if they're always chopped up,

186
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.600
you look at the clinical response of
the animal. I mean, but it's

187
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.519
basically trial by error, Bill,
I mean, it's just you know,

188
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.240
a particular drug will develop a sudden
fad use in the profession. Somebody will

189
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.039
hear about it at a vent meeting, bring it up, and then they

190
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.279
just start using them, and then
they play around with the dosages and then

191
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.799
all of a sudden it gets written
up in a in a veterinary periodical and

192
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.480
then it's off to the races.
There's no studying of the dosages, the

193
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.720
effects. It's just, like I
said, trial by error, well,

194
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.480
anecdotal, and of course, like
I say, if they're if they're if

195
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:07.039
they're on these drugs themselves, there's
no way of really monitoring any kind of

196
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.720
progress in in any meaningful way.
And actually the only thing we're monitoring is

197
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.720
like you know, is a kidney
and liver being torn down, or we're

198
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.759
having heart problems you know from blood
work and you know, different enzymes and

199
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.519
things of that nature. Isn't it
true? Yeah, absolutely right, you

200
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.320
know it's you know, none of
those effects are actually looked at, and

201
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.320
uh, you know, we we
just are you know, touching the iceberg

202
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:41.360
on really all of these potential negative
effects these drugs have on our animals physiology

203
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.519
and uh, you know, you
put it very well. You know,

204
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:52.720
there's a so called supplement it's on
that being heavily advertised for pain in humans.

205
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.759
And one of the ways that they
see that it's actually working, its

206
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.080
so called working, which I found
amazing that when you really stop to listen

207
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.200
to what the commercials say, it's
like, if you really want to know

208
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.000
what you know, your paint start
to go away, go away, stop

209
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.079
using it, and usually within a
week's time the pain is bad. Will

210
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.359
you haven't healed anything, have you
No? And often the pain is worse.

211
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.319
You know, we called out in
homeopathy either palliation or suppression. Palliation

212
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.920
is when we have to use the
same drug over and over again to get

213
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.319
an effect, and then eventually you
have to use more and more increasingly higher

214
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.759
dosages and then eventually, like you
know you mentioned, that can stop working,

215
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.039
and then we go to stronger drugs. And then the risk is when

216
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:45.640
you go to stronger drugs and we
suppress that symptom, then the imbalance or

217
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.880
the disease can go deeper into the
body, as we talk about every week

218
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.759
on this show, and affect deeper
levels. You know, So it really

219
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.279
is a cascade of events when we
use these drugs for the negative unfortunately.

220
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:03.200
Yeah, it really is. You
know, we're coming up here in about

221
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.039
a minute and a half on the
break. I want to encourage people.

222
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.559
If you've got questions, you can
go into our chat post your questions and

223
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.480
we'll try to answer them here on
the show itself. Again, we want

224
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.240
you to share this with all your
friends and neighbors and everything else, and

225
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:26.200
you know, all the social media
platforms share it, subscribe and like it

226
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.839
so we can get these messages out. I mean, you know, again,

227
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.519
just like on our most of our
shows, we've probably given out more

228
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:38.839
information on pain meds than the average
doctor knows, right right, Absolutely,

229
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.880
it's it's it's it's crazy. We
just got to keep building this community,

230
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.599
and it's so important for our listeners
to help us out with that because,

231
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.599
as you know, I've been suspended
from certain social media platforms, and so

232
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.000
for me to get the word out
directly isn't like it used to be.

233
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.680
It's tougher, and of course,
you know, you're trying to get your

234
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.880
social media up and running more efficiently, which it's not an easy thing to

235
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.759
do, is it. No,
not at all. I certainly assistance and

236
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.480
help with it and uploading videos and
blogs and all of that. That's not

237
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.000
my wasn't trained really well in that
area. But you know, it's just

238
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.880
and I know we'll get into it, but uh, you know, we're

239
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.680
talking just about the you know,
the opioids and the other sedative drugs inventary

240
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.960
medicine, but of course there's addiction
to other classes of medication that we startainly

241
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:34.720
can go into. Yeah. Yeah, like you said, we're right,

242
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.480
we're about fifteen seconds away. And
yeah, there's it's not only drugs,

243
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:44.319
it's also in foods and a lot
of other things that they're going on in

244
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.680
our animal community and in our community. So after this quick break, we'll

245
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.160
get into some we'll dive into some
of these other things. All right,

246
00:19:51.240 --> 00:20:03.240
doctor damn, yes, sounds good. All right. We all want our

247
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.920

welcome to back to the Pet Health

264
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.400
voice. This is Bill the Pet
Health Gurgle along with my guest post doctor

265
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:49.680
Michael dimm and we're talking about addictions
tonight, and we've covered quite a bit

266
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.039
on painkillers and opioids and things like
that, but you just mentioned other drugs

267
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.440
before then, and of course one
of the things that again I want to

268
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:00.880
throw out there. You got any
questions through them in our chat, we'll

269
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.480
try to answer them. And of
course we need to find some health for

270
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.279
doctor dim to get his social media
going, so if you if you can

271
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.279
help them with that, that would
be great. So what are these other

272
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.039
drugs that we have to worry about, doctor dam Well? I mean really

273
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.400
many classes of drugs. Let's go
right to the skin medications not really not

274
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.680
really as addictive as the opioids and
painkillers, which act on a very deep

275
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.839
level in the patient. But our
animals do become dependent on a lot of

276
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.200
the common drugs used to treat skin
flare ups and ear infections. So they'll

277
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:45.079
often become dependent on antibiotics and steroids
and other powerful drugs that are now being

278
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.640
used for skin allergy relief. And
these animals have to stay on these medications

279
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.519
to control the symptoms until they no
longer work. So, as I said,

280
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:59.920
that's the homeopathic definition of palliation.
And then you know when those drugs,

281
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.960
let's say, if they are successful
at suppressing skin disease or allergies.

282
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:10.440
That's when we see deeper illness.
So the dependency of the allergic dog nowadays

283
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:15.680
on that cortisone shot or the apoquel
or the site of point injections or any

284
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.440
of the newer treatments, you know, becomes problematic when those animals, you

285
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.599
know, either you know, the
drug stops working or you know, or

286
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:26.920
the disease goes deeper into the body
and then we have to use even stronger

287
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:32.680
drugs to address those. So,
you know, the skin drugs are certainly

288
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.440
a big part of you know,
dependency in our animals, and certainly the

289
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.359
number one condition that we see in
everyday traditional veterinary practice are the allergy,

290
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.480
skin dogs, ear infection dogs.
As I'm sure you see bill in the

291
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.359
store, right, Yeah, it's
exactly right. And you know, one

292
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.119
of the things that is rarely discussed
with the veteran you know, in the

293
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:02.960
veterary community to the clients in the
base, is that, Okay, if

294
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:08.680
I'm using these skin these skin type
problems and these continuous antibiotics and steroids,

295
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.480
Okay, what's the long term effects
of these under rest of the body?

296
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.079
Right, Right, That's what I'm
saying it's you know, they're not only

297
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.839
the drugs themselves, but you can
get secondary you know, immune problems.

298
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.720
You know, with other organ systems, we get deeper disease, like disease

299
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.160
of the bowel, or disease of
the liver or the kidneys, or the

300
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:37.039
endocrine system. All of those secondary
illnesses downstream are often a reflection of the

301
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.359
use of suppressive medications that don't really
address the cause of the problem, and

302
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:47.039
our animals are hooked on them in
order to you know, for guardians want

303
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.160
to see symptomic, quick symptomatic relief. As soon as that dog starts itching

304
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.400
or shaking its head, they're immediately
putting drops in the ears or systemic drugs

305
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.480
that stop the itching. And you
know, the animals come in for their

306
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.079
quote unquote allergy shot every month and
they're just set up in a cycle of

307
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.559
addiction. It's the best way I
can put it. Yeah, And of

308
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:17.680
course then also leads on the back
side to this whole cascade then of secondary

309
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:26.920
and second, third, fourth tier
medications to counter what the first drug is

310
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.799
doing to the body. And then
we just we just see this cascade of

311
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:37.720
debilitation, don't we Absolutely, Yeah, so the steroids and those related drugs,

312
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.440
they'll stop the itching, and then
you'll get an overgrowth of yeast or

313
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.559
bacteria on the skin, and then
that leads to a use of strong anti

314
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:51.359
fungal agents and even stronger antibiotics,
and then you know, nowadays they're you

315
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.799
know, the profession is seeing like
in the human side of things, tremendous

316
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:02.400
increases in resistant bacteria that don't respond
to any allopathic medication because the abuse of

317
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:07.799
these you know, antibacterials and anti
you know, and anti inflammatories. So

318
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.200
it really is a snowball effect,
and our animals are the victims of the

319
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:22.279
abuse of these medications. Even if
we go into like the endequine system,

320
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.599
you know, putting that animal on
thyroid hormone or adrenal gland supplements, you

321
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.839
know, actually, you know,
the animals become dependent on those drugs,

322
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.359
just like they do the the skin
medications, and then you know, the

323
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.319
home thyroid gland goes to sleep,
so it doesn't produce its own hormone,

324
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.519
and you know, that's you know, another reflection of the addictive tendencies of

325
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:51.279
these medications, the dependency on the
hormones, even insulin. You know,

326
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:55.119
when the bodies. You know,
the production of insulin goes down, and

327
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.119
then these animals become dependent on on
that, you know, during there when

328
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.839
they have diabetic and just like in
humans, you can actually tremendously help animals

329
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:11.400
or occasionally cure them of their dependency
on insulin by appropriate diet and herbal therapies

330
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.400
and homeopathy, just like on the
human side of things. Yeah, it's

331
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.640
exactly right because if if you know
he's going to bring up the insulin,

332
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.240
I'm glad you did, because once
you start inducing that artificially, the body

333
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.359
says they don't have to make it
anymore. It does put that you know,

334
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.640
those those you know systems to sleep, and you know, when you

335
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.839
want to get off of it,
you have to kind of you have to

336
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.920
do the wing, which again the
animal can't tell you it needs, but

337
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:44.079
we have to kind of wake it
up gently and over time so that we're

338
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.480
back to natural production of it.
Isn't it true? That is totally true.

339
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.799
And you know, the endocrine system
is a is a great example of

340
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.839
what you're saying. And you know, synthetic hormones and powerful drugs that act

341
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:03.240
on the adrenal gland, you know, lead to this you know, dependency

342
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.240
and putting these organs to sleep so
that the body just can't do it by

343
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.799
itself anymore, and then we lose
the ability to heal them with our herbs

344
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.759
and botanicals and homeopathic remedies. They've
become incurable. Yeah. Well, one

345
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.839
of the problems too that we have
with all these synthetics is the body doesn't

346
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:23.519
know how to handle it, you
know, the body if it's a natural

347
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.079
product of food product, which is
of course my approach to you know,

348
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:33.920
of it is the body's very simple. It's either use it or lose it.

349
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.559
And you know, if you get
too much as something, it comes

350
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:37.839
out. If you don't have,
if you need more, you crave more.

351
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.160
And that's the way we approach it
with the synthetics. The body is

352
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.799
going, I don't know what this
stuff is, so what are we supposed

353
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.960
to do with it? So we
start storing it and we store it in

354
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:55.440
fat cells, and of course that
leads to some of these obesity issues that

355
00:28:55.480 --> 00:29:00.680
we have because we're storing so many
toxic chemicals in the body that you know,

356
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.880
people are amazed when they finally go
through a detox or start eating clean

357
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:10.000
and healthy again and using different herbs, botanicals or you know, homeopathy and

358
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:15.119
things like that to start losing weight
or to change their lifestyle. They automatically

359
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.240
lose weight. And they're like,
I tried every weight loss thing out there

360
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:19.720
and nothing worked. And all I
did is that is spurling in in my

361
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.599
diet, or you know, I
changed my eating habits and I'm no longer

362
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.359
buying supermarket meats, you know,
I'm buying good, clean meat now.

363
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.440
And that's another another part of that
is when we're looking at the like the

364
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.799
antibiotic resistance. You know, so
many, so much of the food out

365
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.920
there, especially on the meat side, but even on the plant side,

366
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:49.200
the use of antibiotics is so prevalent
that that's actually you know, creating this

367
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.000
resistance as well, isn't it.
Yeah, absolutely, the abuse of the

368
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.680
antibiotics. I mean also our eggs, which are know in disastrous shape,

369
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.680
you know, the conventional eggs sold
in the supermarkets and loaded with toxins and

370
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.680
and you know, hormones and residues, and in terms of what those chickens

371
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.559
are raised, yeah, I mean, you know, the chickens themselves,

372
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.240
but then also think about those eggs
as they're being processed you know, they're

373
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:25.640
being they're being cleaned with toxic chemicals
and that egg shell is a permiable barrier,

374
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.559
and so those toxins are going inside
the eggs at the same time.

375
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.000
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
it's just it's just amazing. And uh,

376
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.839
you know these you know, the
animals are being exposed directly to all

377
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.240
these synthetic hormones and antibiotics, and
you know, it's it's really and we

378
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.519
are as well in our food supply
obviously, like you're talking about, and

379
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:52.079
it leads to all the havoc and
the body that you're that you're describing though,

380
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.640
yeah, you know, and of
course this creates, you know,

381
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:02.279
an overall inflammatory response in the body. And even when you get onto you

382
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.880
know, onto homeopathic protocol or pathway
or a herbal and a food one,

383
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.599
we're still chasing this inflammation all around
the body until we can start to eliminate

384
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:17.279
it on a more permanent basis.
And that doesn't take overnight, does it.

385
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.960
No, not at all, especially
when animals come in being on these

386
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.599
you know, medications for years,
you know, months or years, and

387
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.200
it takes time for the body to
heal itself, to remove the toxins,

388
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:37.559
to regenerate healthy cells and to begin
functioning optimally again. And especially you know,

389
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.599
as I said, those those skin
cases are you know, especially difficult.

390
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.440
And I know we uh, you
know, people don't want to see

391
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.960
their animals suffer at all, And
the truth is is that they're suffering more

392
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.960
in the long run and shortening their
lives is what it's doing. Well,

393
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.480
you know, I mean, and
I tell you it's try to explain this

394
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.319
two clients quite often, you know, well mcdog is kindtantly scratching and itching

395
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:05.240
and nexsworth thing. Uh, he's
suffering. Well, every time you get

396
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.759
a niche and you scratch it,
are you really are we really suffering or

397
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:14.839
is it just a human reflex or
a pathological reflex? That's right, it's

398
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:20.000
a reflex. And you know our
animals, you know, some of them,

399
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.000
they get relief from the scratching,
So it's actually a pallative measure that

400
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.079
they're doing in it, and that's
a warning signal that the body is out

401
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.799
of balance, that there's toxicity.
As we talk about. Yeah, I

402
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.559
mean, you've you know, you've
got kids, and you know I've got

403
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.000
a child, I've got brothers and
sisters. I mean, when we were

404
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.759
kids. One thing you wanted to
one thing you would beg for, is

405
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:47.759
we scratch my back? Yeah,
it was comforting. And you know,

406
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.960
and here we think it's a disaster
when when our dogs and kids are doing

407
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:58.960
so, you know, we have
to keep things in a balanced perspective,

408
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.880
if you will. That's that's that's
probably one of the things that people,

409
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:09.599
you know him an issue is they
overreact and think everything that doesn't seem like

410
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.000
perfection is a problem. But the
body is not perfect, is it.

411
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.720
No, No, it's not.
And again, you know what's perceived as

412
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:28.079
our animals suffering often isn't it's the
human the human you know, emotional bias

413
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:31.480
that often goes into our interpretation that
our animals are really suffering. And certainly

414
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:36.200
nobody wants to see their animals itch
and itch and itch and itch and itch,

415
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:38.759
you know, where they're keeping themselves
up at night or the guardians up

416
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:45.079
at night. But there are so
many supportive nurturing, you know, therapies

417
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:51.200
that we can implement for the body
to help assist that process rather than hitting

418
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.880
the body over the head with a
hammer to try and make those things go

419
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:59.640
away right away. And of course
that's when we play that chronic healthcare to

420
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.240
right, and you know we're under
a minute here before the next break again.

421
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.720
I want to encourage people. If

454
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:12.360
cafe to show where your pets has
a voice. This is build a Pet

455
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:16.719
Health guru along with doctor Michael Damn. I asked the question, you got

456
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.800
a bunch of questions there. Yeah, we're starting to get a few coming

457
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.280
in here. I told her to
put some of them up if she can.

458
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:30.079
But who you know we? I
asked a question about the foods and

459
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:37.639
the pet food industry, along with
our human food industry, is deeply,

460
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:45.000
deeply involved in creating addictions with food
additives, palatin's flavors, all of that

461
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:52.360
sort of thing. And there's literally
thousands of these that are proprietary to almost

462
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.400
every company because they want company loyalty
more than anything else. They want you

463
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.079
to buy their brand and their brand
over and when I illustrate this to people,

464
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:05.719
I mean, stop them thinking about
people that like and then you know,

465
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:07.920
I don't like to give names,
but people that like McDonald's hate burger

466
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:13.400
cake, people that like cocake pepsi. And yet it's almost an identical product.

467
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:19.840
Why is that it's the chemicals that
are layered underneath the main foods and

468
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:27.400
like the synthetic sugars, those are
all class to narcotics that aspertained that you

469
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:31.079
can buy in seven to eleven or
wa wa or you know the supermarket.

470
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:38.400
There's only narcotics. I mean,
is this not insane? Right? Right?

471
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.320
Absolutely? You know, humans are
you know, they're getting us to

472
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.639
be addicts to our food. Not
that we need any helping addics, but

473
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:53.559
you know, certainly uh an avenue
that certainly that you know kills us with

474
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:58.639
you know, addictive substances to get
us to keep going back and eating more

475
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.840
and more and more and have the
chronic health problems as a consequence of the

476
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:07.719
quality of these ingredients. Right.
And of course though those those food additives

477
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.000
are made by the same chemical companies
that are making the drugs, So they

478
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:16.719
feed you an addictive drug in a
bad food that they know you're going to

479
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:22.599
get sick on, so that you
have to get you know, pharmap involved

480
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.679
in treating it, don't they.
Yeah. Absolutely, It's one big,

481
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:35.119
one big integrated system feast on illness
and and dependency. You know. One

482
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.320
of the things, okay, one
of the questions that did come in,

483
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:40.320
and there's a couple a couple on
food, but it'll address a little later.

484
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.760
But the first one is how do
you break addictions? You know,

485
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:52.320
we have caused our pets. How
do you how do you basically stopped the

486
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:58.599
addictive problem? Well? And when
what's your approach it? Not from the

487
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:02.079
homeopathy, of course, I've got
my own and I do too well.

488
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:07.199
I mean sometimes these animals will you
take a drug like pretmozone, which is

489
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.840
often used over and over again,
you know it's meant and then you know,

490
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:15.400
we're taught and that that needs to
be weaned down gradually. So sometimes

491
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:21.239
you have to wean the animals off
these you know, medications, if they're

492
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:27.519
used longer term. Again, because
their bodies are dependent on you know,

493
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:32.159
these treatments, whether they're hormones or
whether they're skin drugs, it often involves

494
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:38.079
a gradual process to you know,
allow the animals bodies couperate and recovering and

495
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:43.400
become less dependent on these drugs and
medications. And then the other aspect of

496
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:46.480
it is, you know, you
just want to be aware of what these

497
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:51.360
medications are before you give them,
so you can decline them. I mean,

498
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.760
animal guardians need to take their power
back and refuse these medications when they're

499
00:40:55.760 --> 00:41:00.199
prescribed. You know, we have
herbal a prenative to most of these things,

500
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:06.159
and homeopathy serves its purpose in a
lot of these situations too, So

501
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.559
you know, you just have to
say no, you know. Yeah.

502
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:12.119
Of course the other thing that you
know, the approach that I take,

503
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.400
and I know I know you believe
in it as well because you've seen the

504
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:19.679
results. As you have to do
that lifestyle change first. I mean,

505
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:24.639
there's a reason why the body started
breaking down where there's certain you know,

506
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.199
medical procedures. You know, things
like the you know the thing we can't

507
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:36.320
talk about, or you know,
the food additives, the bad food,

508
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.840
you know, the poor quality diets
that we feed our pets but have fancy

509
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:46.719
commercials things of that nature. So
you have to get the animals base going

510
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:52.679
in the right direction, and then
of course the homeopathy. The herbals will

511
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:59.719
all start to help rebalance that,
and then it's a lot easier step to

512
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.159
start weaning them off. We're just
taking them off these medications, isn't it.

513
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:09.440
Yeah, absolutely, that's definitely the
way to go, you know these

514
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:14.079
It takes a little work, but
it can be done. You know,

515
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.760
just like addictions and people, you
know, the tough addictions, just to

516
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.920
divert for a second, or you
know, like you mentioned about the foods,

517
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.679
you know, the synthetic food enhancers
and flavor enhancers that you've spoken about

518
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:29.679
in previous shows. I mean,
it's difficult to get animals off those things

519
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:34.840
and sometimes onto a species appropriate diet, especially with cats. You know,

520
00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:40.079
that's where we have the most difficult
time because the the the flavor enhancers and

521
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:45.920
artificial ingredients that have these cats hooked, especially on the dry food, makes

522
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:49.519
it, you know, extremely difficult
to get the animals on a healthier plane

523
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.280
of nutrition. Yeah. I mean
part of the approach I take on NETTED.

524
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.840
I mean, we really look at
it sometimes and over the years we've

525
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.760
developed what I sometimes refer to,
who is a six week, six week

526
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.000
you know, drug withdrawed addiction you
know program that we're use in people.

527
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:10.280
The same thing on cats. You
know, we have to keep introducing.

528
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:14.880
You know, the first off,
you have to do the format change.

529
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:16.760
We have to get away from the
drive because we're dehydrating the body all the

530
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:22.039
time. There's not enough moisture.
So we've got a secondary issue that's actually

531
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.400
going on all the time in that
body. But then once we do,

532
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:30.320
once they start, once they take
their first mouthful of a wet food,

533
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.400
the driver goes away forever. You
never put it back down again. You

534
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.360
just can't offer it again. And
you know, even if you start out

535
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.559
with a can't meat or something of
that nature, and then you start introducing

536
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:47.519
you know, cooked and or raw, and sometimes we've seen it where an

537
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:52.280
animal will reject, reject, rejected
in one day. It's like you've flipped

538
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:59.360
on a switch and they're suddenly there
and they're happy and healthy and you know,

539
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.440
I means like they won't even look
at the dry food again, right,

540
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.159
And you know, but you have
to be patient and you can't can't

541
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:12.079
worry. I tell people, if
you put down and especially with dogscause,

542
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.840
dogs of course are more of an
opportunistic carnivore or scavenger. If you're taking

543
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.719
you're starting on a raw diet,
and you put the food down on the

544
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.679
floor and a dog walks up to
it and smells it and turns around and

545
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.360
walks away as they pick it up, put it in a refrigerator, don't

546
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:30.719
even look at the animal, don't
acknowledge that there's a problem there, and

547
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:35.360
just walk away. And it kicks
in the primal part of their body that

548
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:40.199
oh my god, I just lost
my kill. And dogs usually won't miss

549
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:44.679
more than three meals. You know, you came back a couple hours later,

550
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:45.440
you put it back down. If
they do the same thing, you

551
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.199
just do the same thing. And
of course the other part of that with

552
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.239
the with the diet is a rotation
because they do need different things and people

553
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:58.079
think that, oh, well,
they didn't like that, you know,

554
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.440
that product, or that that meat
to that, you know, but it's

555
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.800
not about liking. It's about what
their body needed on that day. And

556
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.480
when you start that rotation, now
the body knows it's always gonna get it

557
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:13.159
because they hunt different areas for different
foods based on what their what their basic

558
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.079
needs are, what their cravings are. That's what cravings are, is a

559
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:22.960
basic needs. So you know,
it's not always it's tougher with those toy

560
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:25.199
breeds, you know, those are
the ones. Oh you often have the

561
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:30.800
number of their guardians. And you
know, talking about train I always refer

562
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:36.199
to that every session with your pet
is a training session. Either you're training

563
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.400
them or they're training you. And
usually they're training you. You know,

564
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:43.360
you know, the little toy breed
didn't eat breakfast, so you're sitting in

565
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.760
the middle of the floor trying to
hand freet it. They get an upset

566
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:52.239
stomach, but they're eating something because
they're trying to satisfy your ego and they're

567
00:45:52.280 --> 00:46:00.039
making themselves sicker, right, It's
it's kind of crazy anyway that we'll eat.

568
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.559
Yes, they always do, okay, a couple of a couple of

569
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:10.360
a little okay, so what if
my boat pushes away with bowl, she's

570
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:17.119
done, she's saving it for later. She's not hungry. It's that simple,

571
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:21.679
you know. Uh, they don't
eat on a schedule like we do.

572
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:23.920
But somebody wanted to know, uh, you know, where can they

573
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:29.360
get meat? If if not,
you know, I guess the referrals to

574
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:34.320
our store. But you know,
and what how would we buy meat and

575
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:39.719
stuff like that? Well, for
the most part at uh Fia Patelih when

576
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.840
I'm sourcing out food, I try
to get as close to the farm level.

577
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:45.719
And of course a lot of our
food is at the farm level,

578
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:51.559
so we knew, we know how
it's being raised. You have to just

579
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.480
get down as close to the grower
as you can, and you know,

580
00:46:55.719 --> 00:47:00.400
look at the practices if you're going
to you know, even like some of

581
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.440
these upper class grocery stores, and
you see that the meat is really the

582
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:10.960
beef especially is really really red.
That means it's been sprayed with red food

583
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.400
food die because that's not the natural
color, and they use different they use

584
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.760
different lighting to enhance the colors and
things like that. So you have to

585
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:23.679
start to learn about the marketing techniques
that you know the stores are using that

586
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.840
sort of thing, and try to
know your sources as much as possible.

587
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.719
You know, we often change farms
because a farm practice will change from time

588
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:36.599
to time. Anyway, Yet I
know we're just about it at the break

589
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:38.639
here or at the end of the
show, and another hour went by really

590
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.159
really fast. Doctor Dim tell people
what you can do for them and how

591
00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:47.159
they can reach you. Well.
I offer nutritional therapies, homeopathy, and

592
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:52.360
many herbal therapies, many of which
come from your great store, and I

593
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:58.199
work with people nationwide. I work
with them locally here in the Palm Beach

594
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.920
County area, and they can get
