Is Holistic Health a Mindset, a Method or Real Treatment?

The Pet Health Café episode hosted by Bill and Michele explores whether holistic pet and people care functions as a mindset, a preventative method, or a real biological treatment. The hosts conclude that true holistic care successfully integrates all three elements to address root causes of illness rather than merely masking symptoms.

And here's your host, Bill, the Pet Health Guru. And welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, the show where your pet has a voice. This is Bill, Pet Health Guru, along with Michelle, my health coach and co-host tonight. And we've got a great thing coming on tonight. We want to tell you, first off, I want you to click on your share button. That's very important because the more people that hear this, the more people that are going to learn. The more people that learn, the better our pets are going to be and the better the pet parents are going to be. We want you also to like and help their algorithms and subscribe so you don't miss a show. You know, that when you subscribe, it's going to click and come up on your on your computer, on your phone, on your device and say, hey, turn

1:30 me on. And we know we all want to be turned on. So anyway, also the chat is open as it always is. We always encourage debate, comments, you know, all these little tiny things that make this so special for all of us. And Michelle actually has been working very, very hard and coming up with topics and areas that we need to discuss. And it's kind of crazy when we start breaking all of this stuff down. That's the interesting part about it because, you know, you talk about health. That's a big, big picture, isn't it? Absolutely, Bill.

2:12 And so then you start breaking it down into what creates health. And it's not medicine, is it? It depends upon who you're asking, if you're asking me. No, absolutely not. It's not medicine. I don't know why we're not on. Okay. I mean, our topic tonight is pretty straightforward. Is holistic care, is it a mindset? Is it a method? Is it real treatment? And I believe it's all three. You know, we had, I don't know how many hours of debate over the spelling of holistic. Okay. When you look at holistic, The spelling of holistic, if you start it with a W, you're talking about a whole encompassing thing.

3:00 When you're talking about it starting with an H as a whole, that's a void. That was by design by the medical people. They wanted holistic to be a void. They wanted to submiss all the little things that keep you and your pet healthy. And that's why we're here tonight with this discussion. on what is really holistic. And, you know, Michelle, you know, I've been doing this for over 60 years. I walk into a doctor's office. I walk into a clinic. I walk into a pet store. That's holistic. And you're selling commercial food, chemical flea treatments, and, you know, having vaccination clinics. It's like, how can you call that holistic?

3:49 Well, that's where the confusion lies. And our audience needs to know the truth. I mean, you know, it's one thing with the allopathic vets and the Western conventional medicine doctors out there. But then it's another thing where conventional doctors, allopathic veterinarians, they're throwing the word holistic out like it's just no big deal. And holistic, some of them just do one thing that's holistic. They might do acupuncture. They might do lasers. One thing, and all of a sudden, they're holistic. Michelle, my question is, if you're doing one thing, you're still working on symptoms, not on the whole body. That's what holistic means. We're looking at the body as a whole unit, one unit. And when you start breaking down into components, that goes right out the window, unfortunately.

4:44 Well, as doctors or as vets for our pets, they see one thing and they treat that one thing. Oh, your dog has bad tartar. So they're already just treating that one thing. They're not looking at a myriad of things that dog has been through. And it's the same for people. It's the same problem, though, is we're looking at a symptom, which is the body's alert to we're doing something wrong. Right. And we're not going back to the causes. We have to look at causation because that's the important part of it is like nothing happens from nothing. And if you've got, you know, you've got arthritis, okay? I'm getting up there in years. I've got a little bit of arthritis, okay?

5:37 Some days it's good, some days it's bad. You know, we had gotten in some product that had to be put together with like 9,000 screws. And any of you that ever put together furniture, you know what I'm talking about. But after the first 10 minutes, your hand can't even move. Okay, why? Because not what we're doing today, but what we did to our body 20, 30, 40 years ago, 50 years ago. You know, we didn't take it over. Because we were never taught. We were never trained in this stuff. We were never explained this stuff. And it's... it becomes an issue when we go back, when we start looking, when you get into your elderly age, like myself, I know I don't look that old, but, yeah, it becomes, the body's been breaking down for so long, and like myself, I watch what I eat, I'm doing, you know, herbals and botanicals and all the whole body thing.

6:41 But, you know, once I put something in my mouth, whether it's an herb, you know, a you know, any kind of nutritional component, once it goes in my mouth, I have no control over it. The body's going to put it where it needs it most. And, you know, my hands, I could use that extra strength. But you know what? That extra protein, that extra carbohydrate, that extra fatty acid that I need might be going to my liver, my kidneys, my brain, any place else that the body thinks is more important. And that's where we don't understand any of this is because the body does what it needs to do to stay alive. Number one, keep the heart healthy.

7:23 And that's also with our pets. We say and we stress rotational diet because each food that the pet is receiving every day is giving different nutrients to that pet. So that's why it's really important that you vary what you're feeding the pet. Absolutely. Because if not, they're not getting proper nutrition. I wanted to go back, though, to the word holistic. So, yes, whole with a W because it is the whole person. That's why you love bubble, by the way. You do that when you love bubble all the time. The holistic approach is the mind, the body, and the soul, or some people say the spirit. And it's absolutely your mindset because if every time you have thoughts Arthritis. If I were to rush you to the doctor every time you complain your hands are hurting.

8:17 Give me an injection. Give you an injection and, you know, be done with it. The pain would be gone. Right. Temporarily. Right. And yet the damage would still be being done because now I'm using it without pain. So I'm doing more damage than I am good because I'm not healing at any point in time. Because also, those painkillers are not only blocking that pain sensation. they're also blocking the pathways for nutrition and healing to happen. It's not a single phase thing. It's like electricity. You know, you get different phases of electricity. It all has to move together. Right, connection. It's all connected. And when you go to an individual doctor that's just working on your heart, he is not talking about all of the things that brought you there.

9:08 Yeah, the fact that your liver... isn't cleaning out the body, so the toxins are going into your heart, and your heart's pushing them away every day. So, okay, so next thing you know, you've got diabetes because the pancreas is screwed up, the liver is screwed up, and then, okay, the toxins end up in your feet, primarily your left foot because of where it happens to be, and then you've got, you know, diabetic neuropathy, and they're cutting off your freaking foot to keep your heart healthy. Because the body doesn't need the foot to live. It needs your heart to live. So when someone goes to see a holistic practitioner or someone like myself, a health coach, I'm not focusing on your A1C only or your cholesterol blood test. I am looking at the whole of you. And what does that mean?

10:00 I do a deep dive into other aspects, other areas of your body. So I'm looking at your social, emotional, your physical, your mental, all of that. These are questions that I ask and I dig deeply because I need to know What caused that symptom? Why are you having thyroid or whatever the symptom might be? It's funny that you mentioned that, Michelle, because this morning I was doing some research. And I came upon a product that was actually made by Merck in the 1800s. And it was basically a compound. Basically all it was is rye organ meat.

10:48 Okay? Okay. Brian, organ meat, because everything is there, and until they came up with synthetic hormones, that was the number one treatment in the world for menopause. Okay? It completely eliminated it. But once they came up with a synthetic formula that could sell you something else, all of a sudden it's gone. But, you know, why can't we buy organ meat today? We can buy it. No, you can't. For the most part, you can. You might be able to buy some liver. That's it. You can't go buy thyroid. You can't go buy adrenal. You cannot go buy anything else unless it comes from a foreign country. Because our government has said, we don't want you healthy.

11:36 But you always say, Bill, if your liver is damaged, eat liver. If your heart is bad, eat heart. Do you not say that? Absolutely. That's what ancient Chinese said. This is thousands of years old. You build a body based on what nutrients your body needs. I want you to know, I have witnessed it here firsthand, that Bill actually eats raw beef liver. I'm not there yet, everyone. I'll do it in a capsule. But he does. He's a testimonial for not ever taking a drug. Yeah. I mean, it's been 25, 35 years. almost 40 years since I've even taken a Tylenol. Okay. I'm on no prescriptions.

12:23 None. Zero. Zippo. Nada. Okay. I look at my whole body. My hands are hurting because I'm doing a certain work. Okay. So I look at how can I, you know, how can I remedy that? And of course, you know, we also look at chiropractic as well because the structure is very, very important with that. And it's, you know, it's always a battle between Because we have to think outside the box. We're not, you know, we've been so programmed since the 19, probably the 1960s, 70s, 80s, that you run to a doctor and you get a script. You know, you get a compound, a chemical compound that's going to dissipate your symptom.

13:09 And like I said, and I use that term specifically, it's dissipating it. Mm-hmm. It's not curing it. It's not even treating it. It's just blocking it. Really just a mindset, everybody. I know it's not easy when you're in pain. Recently, I had a lot of tooth pain and I was in agony. I couldn't sleep. And I asked Bill. Bill's like, put a clove, put a piece of clove. And do you know, I put that clove right on the tooth. Plus, I did some of my stem cell patches and I didn't go to the doctor. I didn't go to the dentist. It was amazing. And we just have to be able to be strong enough to change our mindset. So many of us, you know, I've had, like I mentioned in previous podcasts, I had three car accidents. And in my 20s.

14:01 What a driver. Not me. They hit me from behind. So in my 20s, you know, the pain was agonizing. I lived on ibuprofen probably five years. Today, I'm completely, the last 20 years, drug-free, no drugs, nothing, not even menopausal drugs because I do herbals and I do stem cell patches, you know, regenerating my stem cells. But it's a mindset and it's, unless you are able to become cognizant of your body and your symptoms, you know, people are just running for the talent running for the ibuprofen and need immediate relief.

14:47 Why do we do that, Michelle? Scared, fear, like we spoke last week. They're afraid. And they're pets, too. They see, you know, I saw my baby, my American bully limping, and immediately I did not go for meds. I did not bring my dog to the veterinarian. I immediately put stem cell patches, and I waited patiently. Patience is key when you're trying to be holistic. When you're trying to start a raw diet for your pets, you need patience. You cannot do it and then immediately, oh, my dog has a diarrhea or she hasn't eaten in three days. You have to have patience and you have to listen to the guru here and make sure you're understanding.

15:34 We're not here to misinform you. We're here to guide you so that you too can go the holistic route. You know, one of the things, as you know, and as you've followed, and a lot of our clients have been telling us, I do a lot with different herbals. I do not do herbal supplements. I do not do herbal medicine because herbs are not medicine. Herbs are food, and different foods do different things. I mean, God, I'm going to tell you, give me a good ribeye steak, Delmonico steak, My mood changes immediately. Michelle, more filet mignon, a good beef tenderloin. Why? Because that's what our body needs.

16:24 And that's how we have to look at, you know, this. It's about what you've put in your body, every single thing, okay? Now, the mantra in the medical community, unfortunately, is anybody that has studied For anybody that has a certificate on an alternative medical procedure, and that's what they are, a treatment plan. They're looking at symptoms like acupuncture, like homeopathy, like, you know, acupressure. You know, even some, you know, all kinds of these different outside-the-box alternative practices. They consider them to be holistic, but they're not holistic because you're still only treating a symptom.

17:14 You're still putting something outside the body, inside the body that is not food-based. I did a segment on the show just recently, Michelle, and we were talking about homeopathy. And actually, you did some of my core research on how do they make a homeopathic remedy that It was like 10 or 12 industrial chemical processes. There's nothing natural about that. That's a process product that they're putting in your body. And most of them are toxins. That's why that whole philosophy of dilution, I have to put enough poison in your body that it doesn't kill you. Now, I can go back.

18:00 I've got 15 seconds left here. I can go back to when I started in the industry. when I started my first job, was in a Purina mill making food. And a soft, moist food had just come out. And when it came out, okay, I used to joke around. Now, I'm a high school kid at this point in time. I'm joking around with a chemist in the lab at Purina that the preservative they used was antifreeze, propylene glycol. And the problem that they had with manufacturing a product that keeps it soft and. Moist was if I put too much, they die. If I don't do enough, it gets moldy. Enough said. Let's go to a break.

Let My Paleo Pet help keep your pet happier and healthier. And welcome back to the Pet Health Cafe, the show where your pet is voiced. This is Bill, the Pet Health Guru, along with my health coach. Michelle, how are we doing again, Michelle?

21:14 Oh, I'm doing fabulous. And we're talking about holistic things with a W. The whole thing. Okay. Now, when we went to the break, I was talking about what was going on with pet food back then. It got moist. And they actually used a poison to preserve it to keep it moist. And, you know, it's funny because I don't think most people would realize this, and I said this, this was my job out of high school. This was 60-some years ago that they started doing this stuff. And you know what? They're still doing the same crap, and the FDA allows it.

21:55 They allow those poisons going into your pet's body, and then, in fact, into yours. And we get to go to the doctor, spend money, and the pharmaceutical companies are working with the doctors and the vets, and we're throwing out our money. And food companies, by the way. Yeah. We're throwing our money out, not me, not you, to these doctors, so-called doctors. And I'm not against doctors. I'm not against vets. Neither is Bill. They're people. Yes, they're people. But we need to make sure that we are knowledgeable. We need to make sure that, you know, the doctor, how many times have you been to the doctor and the doctor asks you, well, how's your sleep schedule? Are you going to the bathroom okay? How's your, you know?

22:38 Your stress levels, do you have any stress? They will never discuss your stress level. They will never feel. When I meet with a client, I feel their energy. I empathize with them. I just know automatically something's going on with this client. I mean, I've spoken to so many at my paleo pet, and people are just amazed at the questions I ask because regular doctors won't ask those questions. I have to get to the root of why you're having headaches or why you're having, you know, issues with your gut. And doctors just, you know, put a Band-Aid on it. Here's a pill, go home, here's a prescription. Now, there are holistic practitioners you can go to, but how holistic are they? I mean, the minute you get there, they want to slap, you know, an X-ray, a blood test, all these tests. And sometimes when you have these tests, you know, you're nervous. It's like that white coat syndrome, right?

23:38 And they don't always come out accurately. So tests are not 100% either. Listen to your bodies. That's key. Listening to your bodies. You need to know when something is wrong. Well, you know, as a person that's been involved in this natural medicine and the holistic approach, okay, it's not about me doing a physical on you or on your pet. It's about talking about the lifestyle for the last XYZ number of years. What was grandma's history like? We don't, you know, in our pets, we never know that. You almost never know that unless you're dealing with a very, very reputable breeder. And that's almost impossible to find out because first off, they're not, if there's a flaw along the line, they're not going to tell you about it because they have to make that sale. And unfortunately, this is where we are. And when it comes to our own bodies, you know, it's the same thing. My mom Supposedly died of a stroke when I was in my early 20s. Okay? My poor younger brother and sister were without a mom. Okay? We were told it was a stroke.

24:45 We have no idea, really, because they did not do an autopsy. They did not, you know, that's what it was called. And I don't know what all medical procedures my mom had. I know that she had problems. Prior to getting pregnant with me, I know there was a period of time after that where there was six years between my sister and my younger brother who passed away with cancer. And, you know, I've got a sister that's 10 years younger that's still alive and thriving. But when I look at her lifestyles as well, my sister owns a restaurant. She cooks good, old-fashioned Polish food in Buffalo, New York. You know, I mean, if you want good Polish food, you got to look it up. Anyway, but it's a difference of lifestyle with ourselves. You know, I know my mom drank. I know my mom smoked. The cigarettes back then weren't the same cigarettes today. Okay, the chemicals weren't there. My father had a heart attack when I was a young kid. You know, fortunately, he pulled out of it. And, of course, our lifestyle changed. We went from eating butter, natural butter, to margarine because, oh, my God, you're going to have another heart attack. And, you know, cut out the fats, cut out the cholesterol. And, like, one of the things that's hard to tell you is about this product with hormones. The key component was organs.

26:20 What organs bring to the diet is cholesterol, good cholesterol. Good cholesterol? Yeah. People don't realize that. Your brain is 50%. fatty acids provided by the cholesterol. That's why we have some Alzheimer's people who don't have cholesterol, don't eat butter, don't eat fat, don't eat this. But if you eat healthy fats, then you will be okay. And see, you're not worried that your dad had a heart attack and that you might have a heart attack. You continue to eat. I've already outlived him. Yeah. I've outlived his age. My point is people think, oh, my father had diabetes, so I'm going to get diabetes. My mom had cancer.

27:04 I'm going to get it. You know, it's a mindset. You need to stop thinking negatively. Once you change your mindset, I'm telling you. My dad died of cancer. My brother died of cancer. My younger brother, my kid brother. My kid sister died of cancer. Okay? My family was upset because I'm the oldest that you should have died first. It's hereditary. It's not. I lead a more balanced, holistic, what we would call holistic life. You know, we watch our diets. We watch our exercise. And when I say exercise, it's not an exercise program. We move all day long. And Michelle could verify this. I never stop. You know, I get yelled at all the time. Bill, sit down. Relax.

27:56 Take a nap. I can't take a nap. I cannot take a nap. Why? Because I keep working. Because even with the business and everything else, I'll do an hour of business, and I take a 15-minute break where I'm planting a tree. I'm planting a flower, herb, or a vegetable plant. And then I'm back to work. And then I'm on the phone. And then I'm going crazy because of something else that went on. I mean, my stress levels, all over the place, all day long. And he's got me trying to control your stress level. Yeah, but all this little stuff happens. And it's because of the way I break my day up, creates what we would call a more holistic approach. Because it's not monoculturally there. It's a variation all day long.

28:47 And I talk on the show a lot about farmers being some of the healthiest people that we know. Because that's exactly what their day looks like. I'm up at 5 o'clock in the morning. I'm milking the goats and the cows. Okay? I have to feed them. I then have to clean out the barn. Okay? A whole other job. I've got to move them out to the pastures or the paddocks, whatever it happens to be. I have to make sure the fences are fine. I then have to go out and harvest or plant their food for the next, I don't know, next season. So I'm cutting hay and planting crops and harvesting crops. I'm back in doing another set of milkings, another set of cleanings. And by the way, somewhere in there, I tried to squeeze in lunch.

29:35 So are you suggesting to our audience that we'll become farmers, Bill? Is that what you're saying? Suggesting? We would be healthier. So maybe we should become like the Amish people. Well, it's, you know, I mean, it's not about a specific group. And I mean, there's groups like that all over the world. But one of the other things is, okay, shouldn't we be growing more of our own food? Shouldn't we be tending to our own care? Personally, not relying on the supermarket, the doctor, the, you know, the Amazon, whatever it happens to be. We need to take more control. And I said this, I actually said this on another podcast this past week or last week. But anyway, that most people don't realize the number one agricultural crop in the United States. Now, this is not worldwide. This is just in the United States.

30:30 is growing a front lawn. We grow more ornamental grass that's useless because we want the houses and the government wants our houses to look pretty. Heaven forbid you should put a tomato plant in your front lawn. You will have code enforcement knocking on your door immediately. It's like, you know, and that's why, and this started back in the 50s. So it's like, it's been ongoing. Because they don't want us to do this. They want to control everything that goes into our bodies. So it's no longer holistic. It's allopathic. I go to the supermarket so seldomly because everything I eat now is really from my paleo and BioV Complete herbals.

31:17 But I go in and I'm looking around and I'm thinking to myself, it's such a beautiful store, yet there's nothing here for me to buy. everything's still laden with chemicals. You know, I won't buy the meat. We did an interview for a new employee yesterday. And when we were talking, she says, I've given up on reading labels. She says, I don't even look anymore because I can't find anything. And she's actually of a different culture completely. Not the United States American type culture, but she is very Americanized. And when actually she went back to her mother country, she was like, couldn't believe the differences. I mean, it's crazy.

32:03 We're going to go into this quick break right now, and we will be right back. We all want our pets to be as healthy as possible. My Paleo Pet is the answer.

33:50 From the Penthouse Cafe, the show where your, yes, your pet has its voice. This is Bill, the Penthouse Guru, along with Michelle, my health coach. We want you again to, we encourage you to jump in the chat, ask your questions, share this with everybody, subscribe and like. I mean, it's all a process and we're trying to get this message out. As many of you may know, we have a lot of competitors out there now. You know, when I started doing this, 19 years ago, Michelle, we didn't have all these competitors. I was the lone voice out there, you know, and, you know, I appreciate other people sharing our vision and putting, you know, but they do put their own individual spin on it and don't have the same amount of knowledge.

34:39 I mean, look at some of these celebrity vets. They're talking about stuff that I talked about 20 years ago. I've got 60 years of experience in this area. They've got five. To learn from you. Which is great because we want people to learn. Exactly. Now, you had something a little bit about this holistic thing, this whole program that you wanted to bring in and make more relevant because some things are more relevant to me and some are more relevant to you. And that's why we do this combination show. And I want the audience to understand I've been a teacher in the classroom brick and mortar 38 years. And in my 20s, 30s, even 40s, I would get sick.

35:22 Every time the kids would bring in something, I would get sick. It wasn't until I realized how to balance out my hormones, how to eat really well, lean eating. And now, of course, I'm on regenerative stem cell patches, which we can get into in a little bit. They're amazing. I don't get sick. I was in the classroom the last two, three years eating. And kids would be, you know, sneezing on top of me. Teachers were all with their masks and people sneezing and coughing and just flu-like symptoms. I would not get sick. And everyone's like, why don't you get sick? Kind of insulting. But it's a mindset.

36:04 I also would go in and I would say to myself, I'm not getting sick. I'm not getting sick. And my belief system. But, Michelle, there's also a second part of that that most people don't realize, okay, that a lot of these illnesses are caused by chemicals that are around us. And when you give a kid, a child, a student an antibiotic, a medication, okay, and then they come in and they're coughing on you and sneezing on you, you're actually giving the toxic part of that medicine. You're getting what they have from the toxicity. Now, their illness started with toxicity.

36:46 And we added more to it. And now, yeah, you're going to get it unless you detox. And, you know, doctors and veterinarians and health professionals will never talk or rarely talk about toxicity. There's a reason for that. Because it's what they sell. They sell it. That's what's in their toolbox. Parents, please listen. Please. You have one One child, two children, it doesn't matter. But make a difference. Stop feeding them packaged foods. Stop giving them all of these drugs that the doctors, oh, they need a flu drug or an egg, Tylenol. Be the parent that you know you can be. Be the one that doesn't give the phone or the iPad, you know, just because you need a break. Find other ways to get that break. Show me that role model for your.

37:40 Kids, please. I've said this for 30 something years. I'm saying it on camera. I'm very passionate about families, pet families, all children, please. I'm asking you, I'm actually begging you take all that away. You know, be the parent, be the one that's connecting to your child. They will love you even more for it. You know, when you're healthy, they feel good. Okay. You know, I mean, we see pictures all the time on social media today. What my generation looked like in the 60s, in the 50s, okay? Going to the beach, there was nobody obese. We all had, in fact, I couldn't gain enough weight to play football. I mean, you know, by comparison today, I mean, I was playing in high school football, trying out as a linebacker at 120 pounds.

38:31 A linebacker today is 220 pounds, okay? built up on steroids and all kinds of other stuff, okay? Because it's about brute strength, okay? Brute strength doesn't cut it except this is entertainment. Our role models are entertainers, whether they're sports figures, whether they're actors, whether they're game show people, whether they're, you know, America's best or whatever the hell the show is, okay? We're putting these people on pedestals, but are they really our best? Are they really the role models that you want your kid to be?

39:11 Parents. So many parents, of course, unfortunately, are doing this. It's like, you know. And we're not faulting you. We know you're working hard. You know, sometimes there's one salary or maybe there's two that needs to come in. And, you know, we're both parents. So we understand what you're going through. Through. I understand it. I just want to remind you, not only for your children, but for your pets, you know, take them for that walk. Go to the, I don't know if I'd say park, but just do some fun activities. Throw the ball, throw them in the pool. I don't know, whatever it is, don't just let them sit all day. You know, they need to have activities too.

39:52 See, that's the holistic approach. It's the whole thing. We're putting in the right food. We're putting in the right amounts of exercise and different exercises. Not a pre-programmed, you know, print it on a piece of paper. You know, it's about activity. It's about what we do. About the environment. We're doing clean environment as well. I mean, if you're stuck in, you know, think about our poor kids today. They're stuck in a house being bombarded with EMFs, okay, staring at a screen, okay, and breathing the same dirty air all day long. And I don't care how good of an air freshener, purifier you put in your house, not the same. And even when they go outside, of course, we have to deal with the neighbors spraying their lawns and, you know, the government spraying us for mosquitoes. These got all this garbage, chemtrails, all that. So, you know, we are bombarded 24-7. We need to step back, lean on our bodies, and basically at BioComplete, we've actually put together a whole line of active products that will help detoxify the body.

41:05 The whole family can use it. Everybody, dogs, cats, birds, everything. And, of course, on top of that, we have other technologies now. We also have their purification units. Water, oh, my God. What we do with water is amazing because our water is so bad that we drink every day, even your bottled waters. We do something special with ionization and white infusion. And, you know, and then, of course, we go back to the clean foods, our farm-to-table. No hormones, no antibiotics, none of that stuff. You know, the BioComplete line was developed by me 20 years ago. I applaud you and I thank you for this.

41:46 For to do exactly what it is. I wanted to live a long life and I wanted to be healthy. I don't want to go to a doctor ever, ever again. You know that. I've talked about it forever. And since 1994, I've been true to that pledge. And you know what? I intend to keep doing it. With that being said, Michelle, how can people reach us?
