And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru, And welcome to Pet Health Cafe, the show where your Pet has a Voice.

0:46 This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, and with me this week is my guest host, Doctor Michael Dim. How are you doing, Doc? All right? Bill? How are you doing today? Hey? Another hot one in South Florida? What can I say? Yeah? Another busy day. You know, never it's just you know, kind of like ground home day. Every day is pretty much it's the same, but it's always different, right right, you know, same same challenges, same complaints, but different people and uh, different needs and you know, you know what, you go through this the same way. How's your week been. I haven't talked to you in a couple of weeks. My week's been okay, you know, trying to stay busy, you know, usual, just hoping ot as many as you can. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay tonight, because it seems to be the rage on everybody's podcasts set out there the last two weeks. Of course, there's a whole issue of fleas and ticks and heartworms, and you know, it's that time of year again, and uh, you know, we're up against the same issues almost every year, aren't we. Yeah, yeah, of course, And uh, you know, not just for people down here in South Florida, but all over the country. And you know, in the spring and the summer weather comes, that's when the the push to use the you know, the preventative products you know, comes about. Yeah, that's that's one of the big things that

2:17 you know, obviously we're going to get into, is what some of these products are and what they do and and things of that nature. But you know, on the opposite side of that, if an animal is healthy, are they normally bothered by these parasites for the most part, no, no. I often tell my clients, you know, when animals are raised in a more chemical free, you know, species appropriate diet, without any vaccines and chemicals and pesticides, they tend not to attract the fleas or the ticks as much because their vibration, their frequency that they're vibrating to is much higher. So you know, I tend not to see problems with you know, flea and ticks and and heartworm and animals raised in a more holistic manner.

3:01 I often tell people, you know, when you look at multi animal households, sometimes you'll see fleas on one or two animals and not see fleas on another animal. And then one animal have one flea and start itching like crazy. And the truth of the matter is is each of those animals has a different susceptibility to being attracting fleas, and so even in the same household, you'll sometimes see a few animals that won't have any fleas at all. So it's all due to susceptibility, which comes down to, you know, how healthy these animals are on a functional level as well as an energetic level. Well, you know, and I'm glad you brought it up that the way you did, because you know, quite often in these multiple pets families and households, you know, when an animal either as or it comes to parasites, or has different health issues and everything else. One of the things that you know that one of the most common comments. I guess that I get is, well, you know, we're feeding them all the same thing as species appropriate diet, we clean with the same products everything else. Why does one animal get sick and another one doesn't? Yeah, I mean that's like I said, it's just a it's a susceptibility issue, which in energy medicine or homeopathy we call it a dynamic susceptibility. And like I said, that not every animal has a susceptibility to attracting fleas. And what we want to try and do is to raise the bar in the healthcare of those animals,

4:33 and you know, through diet and herbals and homeopathy when appropriate, so that they don't attract other fleas. Right. Well, one of the other things too, is because people think have a tendency to think because I'm feeding the same diet to each one of all of them, and you know all these household and environmental conditions are pretty much the same, that the all should be acting the same. But there's still all individuals, aren't they with with different genetics and different epigenetics and different gut biome and you know, just exposures. You know, they don't all sniff the same bladed grass when you take them out for a walk. I mean, they're all doing different things. Yeah, and so it's it's you know, you still have to take in the consideration the individual animal. And a lot of times, I mean, even with diets and how much we feed and that sort of thing, there are no real charts that are accurate because the body is dynamic. It's always changing, is you and I know? And you know all I'm feeding my three little dogs half a pound each day. Well, okay, do any of them seem hungry? Well? Yeah, the one keeps trying to steal everybody else's food. Well there's a reason for that, isn't there. Yeah, yeah, true, it's that that animal needs more at that particular time.

5:59 So well, what's the prescription for that, like, maybe give them more food? Yeah, exactly, nice and simple, keep it very simple. Yeah, simple as possible. Now, you know, as we get into this, of course, you know then you know, with the use of these preventive type treatments, and they are treatments, they're not preventative. Actually, the word prevention shouldn't even be there, should it. No, No, because they're actually killing the parasites with very strong chemicals. So I guess you know, preventative wise, they last up to a month. So once they kill the adult fleas or some of them last three months. So once they kill the adult fleas or ticks, then you know, the the uh, the immature stages of the flea and ticks basically are killed over the subsequent weeks or months, So you know, they are treatment as well as to some degree preventative. Yeah. Well, I mean if you make if you poison the body, obviously they don't want to eat the poison, do they.

7:02 Yeah, that's true. But one of the things that distresses me a lot because of course I've dealt with these the manufacturers for almost you know, over fifty years, and when a lot of these products came out, we were told that how safe they are, that you know, the first spot on type products. You know, they're just putting a little bit of a natural basically naturally based oil, not a natural product, but naturally based oil that basically covers the skin. And of course, you know, we know that the skin is you know, the largest organ on the body. It absorbs everything that's exposed to So there's no way that they could not get into the bloodstream, is there? No? Not at all? Yeah. I remember many years ago when you have products, the original products frontline and advantage, and they used to say, nothing's going to get in there systemically if you apply it. And then we started to see animals with neurologic symptoms come up with auto immune problems come up shortly afterwards, and you know, and then when push came to shove, these companies had to acknowledge that these products do get into the bloodstream for sure. And so you know, they tried marketing initially saying not but that's not the way it really works, you know, I mean it in itself, I mean, it's not about the health of the animal. It's not about the welfare of the animal or even the comfort of the animal. You know, what would be what's if we look

8:37 at different symptoms, what's worth scratching and itching or a neurological disease or problem, you know, autoimmune or seizures or you know, I mean, it's risk you know, it's risk management, isn't it at that point? Yeah? No, it sure is. And you know there's the cumutive hold up of these products when they're used month after month, year after year. As we talk about, it's not just the acute exposure. So if an animal doesn't have a reaction to you know, a product seemingly you know, in the in the days or weeks after it's applied or ingested, then there's no you know, people say, well it's safe, but you know, it's the it's the cumultive effects of these things over long periods of time. The other thing that's interesting is is that a lot of these oral preventatives or treatments as you may call it, are supposed to be chewable, and a lot of these animals will eat these products the first month or two, and then all of a sudden they'll stop eating it because they know it makes them, you know, their their bodies saying I don't want to eat this because it makes me sick. So then you'll have to stuff the pills down their throat or wrap it in cheese or other other items to get them to eat it.

9:50 Yeah. Yeah, I mean they're actually smarter than I think. That's a lot of veterinarians out there. They know what they shouldn't be taking the tablets and pills and things of that nature. Now, one of the things on that on that natural side, when you have a naturally immune body. If an animal picks up, you know, parasites, the body innately knows that there's an issue either with you know, the the you know, the biting obviously and the taking of blood and things of that nature. And doesn't the body innately send antibodies and uh, you know, you know, different types of cells to battle whatever bent damage is being done, and also even different hormones and chemicals with biochemicals within the body that will get rid of and discharge those parasites. Right, it's well put exactly what the body does.

10:48 Yeah. So I mean you end up with a dog that's got a lot of fleas and then all of a sudden they're all gone. Naturally what happened. Yeah, the body took care of it. Yeah, you know. Yeah, it's only when it becomes severe cases. Now, when we do the chemical treatments that these chemical flea and tick products, and we'll get into heartworm as a separate entity here in a few minutes. But when when you give that that insecticidal product, basically that bug killer we may as we'll call it, what it really is to the body that's not targeted within certain parts of the body, is it like the skin isn't it just going throughout the whole body, the heart, the lungs, the pancreas, adrenal gland.

11:35 Aren't they all being poisoned at the same time? Absolutely? Sure is. And you know when you take something orally, it's absorbs systemically even and like we said earlier, the topical products are also absorbed systemically, so there's no way around that when using these very strong chemicals. And you know, it's, uh, it's interesting because I I kind of watch there's a group, there's several groups out there talking about seizure dogs, and one of the things is that they were all kicking around, what's the safest of all these fleet preventatives that we can use safely on these seizure animal Well, isn't it these products that are causing the seizures? Yeah? Yeah, true. You know it's like pick your poison, right, So yeah, yeah, that's for sure. So you know that, you know, with animals have seizures, they try and you know, come up with other formulations. I mean, I had a question today, I think from one of your clients, a mutual client, that she tried everything naturally to treat the fleas and she still was battling the fleas, and you know, she asked me which systemic product that I would recommend, So I gave her a recommendation, and I said, you know, it's like the least I mean, not the least, but it's probably what I know is the less toxic of the toxic. So

13:07 that's all I could really say to her. I couldn't say everything's all safe, no, and it's true. I mean, it's it's you know, when I was watching some of this, it was like which product produce the mildest symptoms, if you will, And that's what the whole discussion boiled down to, you know, and every of course, every animal is going to be different, so you can't predict how it's going to affect that particular animal. And of course the animal can't doesn't talk to us, doesn't know English or Spanish or any other language that we're familiar with, so we don't know what's going on in that body until there's really a sometimes a major, major symptom that could be problematic. Yeah, and then of course then they're running to you, and they're running to me and going what do I do?

13:56 And you know what caused it? I had one client a new client in today that did the did a treatment and seemed okay for about a week. All of a sudden the animals crashing. They went to a second VET and told them and that they had this, and they dismissed it. That all it couldn't be that, you know, I mean net and then they prescribed another one right now. Fortunately she came to me, but actually it was her mom that had done it, and she said, Mom, no, I'm going to go see Bill. And that's the end of it. But yeah, but the other thing is on a client like you just mentioned.

14:43 You know, we hear all the time that all these products don't work. They don't work, they don't work well. Number one, you if you use even just a flea spray, botanical oil, any any number of these natural products, they all work. They're all killing. But you don't necessarily see the the parasite die immediately. It does take a while to go through that basically that neurosystem of the insect of the parasite to kill it. So it you know, it can be several minutes, it could be several hours before they die. We see that when we spray for roaches and things of that nature. You know, most people when they use that bug spray, they drown them rather than kill them with the you know, the insect the site product. But okay, the fleas that you're seeing now on the body the next day, those are not the same fleas, right, those are new ones. So you have to then start going backwards. Why is this animal a flea magnet? What am I doing wrong? What's wrong in the environment that we're in? Where could he possibly be picking them up? You know, there's all these other factors that go into it again that are invisible.

16:02 We don't see them. Yeah, I mean I tell clients the same thing about you know, intestinal parasites. You know, there are a hookworm larvae and eggs and probably most of the soil in South Florida, but not every dog who's eating grass or out playing in the grass or out in the yard. You know, most healthy adult animals don't come down with hookworms, and if they do, it's usually a susceptibility problem or a problem with digestion. So you know, it's it's it all is the same idea. I mean, these parasites are out there, and instead of focusing on killing the parasites with strong chemicals, we need to focus more on the terrain of the animal or you know what's in holistic medicine we call the terrain of the patient rather than the external agents. In other words, make the patient stronger so that they're not attracting these parasites, whether they're intestinal worms or you know, fleas and ticks or heartworms or whatever they may be. Yeah, I mean, it was just amazingly say when I when I saw some of these comments, and by the way, I'm I'm basically I can't post anything on this feed because I talk about natural and it's like, Okay, who's running these sites? You know when people are going to them because they're looking for answers, And I know you feel a lot like I do that that the the service that some of these groups do by just focusing in on the medicine that

17:33 synthetic allopathic model is in many cases of the service to the health of that particular animal, isn't it. Yeah, sure is. It's definitely a disservice. And like you said, you come along with natural suggestion and I don't want to hear any of that, and even that I don't understand the logic behind that, except for the brainwashing if you will that you know, only only a chemical the FDA definition only a patented drug can treat a disease or can treat a problem. Anything beyond that is heresy and you know cannot, you know, should not ever be posted, talked about, uh delivered?

18:25 You know, I mean you you know in homeopathy, you battled that every day. Yeah, absolutely, m And homeopathy is being you know, blasted at all levels and getting harder and hard to find homeopathic remedies and whole foods they got rid of them. I wasn't aware of that. Whole foods up at least up this way, okay, supply and you know it's and the FDA is looking to crack down on homeopathic remedies and and you know, trying to extinguish the practice of it. So the battle's out there. Yeah, and I mean, and of course the battle on the food side, which of course includes herbs and botanicals. You know, they're starting to pick off, you know, one herb at a time. You know, in many cases there's a question should a ped owner also do what was that claims for themselves periodically? Absolutely. The whole reason for taking a stool sample into that is because of the public health risk. I'm sure that that's what they taught to you in ved school, and yet when you talk to your human doctor, they never mentioned it. They never asked, almost never asked to do a parasite check. And uh, it's just like there's as a major, major missing link there. We're at the break right now, so let's talk a little bit more about this after the break. Does your pets suffer from

And we're back here in a pet health cafe to show where your pet has a voice. This is Build a Pet Health Guru and doctor Michael Dim my special guest host, and we're talking about parasites tonight. You know, we had a question just before the break there on you know, should humans be cleansing themselves? And a most human doctors, even though it's such as veterinarians, make it into such a major thing about the public health issue. Why don't human doctors make it at least a small priority. Yeah, very true. Unless you go to a functional medicine doctrine they'll probably address it. Yeah, they're about as hard to find as a homeopath, way right. Yeah, and they're always being chased down as well.

23:06 But you know, you've brought up a little bit about intestinal parasites. Internal parasites. Why are those so much of a more of a problem in our dogs and cats? And they aren't humans. I don't really think they're more of a problem, Like you mentioned, they're just not not checked for. You know, like you said, people have a tremendous tendency to have parasites. But in animals of course, Uh, you know, there's big money to be made by running stool sample checks and putting animals on these preventatives that are often combination medicines with flea tick or heartworn medicines all in one, and you know, with intestinal parasite protection. I mean it's becoming increasingly more complex and increasingly number of compounds in these products. It's you know, it's also increases the toxicity. When you're using several compound compounds in one product.

24:03 You know, that's really even more of a slam on the animal. Yeah, it's true. You know, somebody came about, you know, chip micro chipping, and you know of all shelter animals asing, and how can this be stopped? Basically it's about control. That's government control now, isn't it. Yeah yeah, micro chipping is now universal as it will as it as try to be in people. So yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, here's another one. This is something the majority of peteople are unaware of. Teaching and educating the pet owners. Uh yeah, it's it's that's what we're trying to do here. In fact, I didn't even put out the disclaimer. I mean, I'm glad I'm seeing people in the chat room that I everybody's invited to get in there. Of course, we want everybody to share and like and subscribe to this channel because we do bring out a lot of information. You know, I'm actually hoping that maybe one two people saw my at least the possibility of watching this show on the one seizure forum that I threw it up on. And uh, I mean it's a shame that it's just this stuff is just blocked. I mean, it's not like we're selling products here or anything. You know, this is educational and you know, if if you're in any of these groups, you know, these pet groups, health groups especially, I mean, you know, we cover both sides of the issue. We talk about the good and the bad and the

25:33 ugly and you know some of the things that the mistakes that we've made. We've both been in, you know, in the industry for a number of you know, not even a number of years. I've been in over half a century. You've been in what thirty years now or more? Years? Yeah? Yeah, so yeah, So, I mean we first off, we've seen the industry change. The products that are available today that weren't available at all when and the concepts when I started out in this business, and of of course you've seen the same thing in the veterinary field. Although even though they keep coming up with new drugs, they don't seem to do anything different, do they. No, No, they're just if anything, like I said, they're they're they do the same things, and if anything, they're stronger because of the combinations. I remember back in the nineties when like I said, Advantage or Frontline came out, and I remember the Advantage drug rep to come in and say, well, it's safe for our animals because this is the same stuff we use on our crops as a pesticide. So yes, so that was his argument. We're using it on the animals that you know that man, That just gave me so much confidence. I'll tell you I just can't go out and wait and eat a bowl of veggies now, I mean, and you know, I mean, if you think of it in that respect, Okay, that crops are being you know, sprayed with that, and we're ingesting our crops, and yet the number one problem

27:06 this weekend is going to be mosquitoes, right, I guess it doesn't reach pel mosquitoes doesn't in humans? Yeah, you know, I the thing about the intestinal parasite products, you know, the wormers. As I said earlier, most of these most healthy adult animals don't have overgrowth of these intestinal parasites like hookworm or roundworms or occidia. And if they do, as I said, it's an unhealthy digestive tract. I mean puppies and young animals, kittens, they sometimes will have you know, test positive. They either get them from their mother's milk or you know, their immune system is still maturing.

27:48 But as they mature, their own bodies handle low levels of these parasites on their own as they reach adulthood. You know, we rarely see problems with these parasit and our animals, And as I said, if we do, then there's a problem there with the animal, the animal side of the equation. Yeah, now, you know I said, we cover heartworms a little bit differently too. Heartworms is a you know, basically, I guess really the push on nets started in the eighties, and you know, I know that several of my colleagues that have worked in the field and did a lot of research in it, and of course I worked with some of the people that were up at the University of Pennsylvania doing the research back in the seventies that in nature canines they're they're testing positive is usually under under three percent.

28:47 Now that's gonna very that's going to vary obviously depending on the part of the country where mosquitos are going to be more endemic. But it's only one species of mosquitos that carry it in the first place, and you've got to be fit by multiple mosquitos in order to pass that larva into the bloodstream because you know, obviously need both males and females. By the time they reached the heart. You know, everything that I've read and seen, it can take six to nine months for those larva to get to the heart in the first place. And if you've got a healthy immune system, I don't do the little things, these little things that are floating a run in the bloodstream that kind of like go after these creatures that aren't supposed to be there part of our immune system. He brought up, you know pen where you know, they did a lot of you know, the first president of the American Heartworm Veninary Society was cardiology professor my name David Knight, and he was quoted back then, as you know, in a journal article. I used to keep the paper copy, but he was quoted back then even as an allopathic conventional right, that instead of recommending all these products in one and year round prevention, that we educate clients in the northeast or the central part of the country when heartworms was actually even a potential, like you said, it's very low potential, but a potential risk to animals. So and he was quoted as

30:18 saying, by blanketly recommending year round prevention. We you know, we're not educating our clients on how the biology of the you know, the disease and the mosquito work because the average temperature has to be sixty five degrees or higher for thirty consecutive days for mosquitoes to transmit heartworm larvae, and so that just doesn't occur, you know, you know, thirty days in a row in two thirds of the country, so you know, yet most of the country, you know, the recommendations are year round prevention. So you know, as a result, we're poisoning our pets twelve months out of the year, and we wonder why cancers and diabetes and autoimmune and UH seizures and epilepsy and all these other problems are popping up. We're not even giving the I mean even if you use these products at the peat, you know, susceptibility, the body would add if you didn't do it, if you if you quit doing it when it would not be a possibility. At least a body would have a little bit of time to recover, wouldn't it. Yeah. True, gives the body a chance, yeah, you know, and it gives the owner a chance to you know, at least use some detox products and you know, kind of clean this stuff out. And you know, the other thing is for clients that choose to use the traditional monthly heart rum prevention pills. You know, the data came out years ago, a long time ago that you know, the preventative products work pro you know, to prevent

31:53 infection for at least two to three months. So for people that are still frightened and want to use these chemicals, you can get by with using a pill every two to three months, which I don't recommend obviously my holistic practice, but you know, they can use a pill every two to three months and do the math after five years. That's quite a less number of pesticide dosing the animals exposed to than animals getting it year round twelve months a year so you know, we want to be mindful of looking at everything holistically. Everything you put on or in the body builds up over time. And it's you know, the these these parasite products that whether they're internal or external, you know, the yearly vaccines or and the poor diets, the other chemical and toxic exposures we talk about all the time in the air and the water and you know that kind of thing. And we have to look at health in that perspective if we want our animals to be healthy, So not just in a you know, you know, like an isolating bubble. Yeah, I mean it's it's and and and and trust be told, aren't there a number of different herbs and botanicals and and actually foods that actually in nature that animals will migrate towards and and consume that actually eliminate these problems. Yeah, and you guys sell a lot of them at your story there. So you

33:27 know that heartworm Parasite Blend is a is a big, big seller of some of the clients that I send to you that still want to use these plans. You know, I mean, it's it's you know, I mean, over the years, I've seen a number of heartworm positive animals, and to be honest, and most of them that tested positive have been on these so called synthetic preventatives and it really didn't prevent anything. But also wonder a minute here, but are these tests that that they do for heartworms? Are these even accurate? You know, it's hard to say. I mean, they're you know, there's probably gonna be false you know, false positives, false negatives. I did want to bring up a point before the break that you mentioned about, Uh, you know, the heartworm. I see it mainly in animals that are in shelter, situated from rescue shelters, animals on processed poor diets, you know, don't get much of anything. That's where you see the positive. You don't see them in animals raise the way we're preaching on the show, that's for sure. Yeah. Well, of course, the big part of that is they're tied outside and of course, you know, exposed to mosquitoes in you know, old sheds and doghouses and where the mosquitos just love to live. Okay, we're at this break. Let's take a quick break here, and then we'll get back and give them some good suggestions. I hope we all want our pets to be as healthy as possible.

Okay, once take vitamin C off the market and make it a prescription. Yeah, I mean, they're just trying to control everything today, aren't they. Yeah, they are. I mean, you know, uh, And it's funny so many of the drugs that aren't even used in you know, the warmers and stuff like that when you talk to a veterinarian, they have to be prescription. But yet you can go into almost any any feed store, farm store and buy them over the counter, can't you. I'm sorry I was reading the question. Yeah, well,

37:52 I mean the fact that you can buy most of these products right in a feed store without a prescription. Yeah, I mean, it's it's amazing. Even the you know, the so called preventatives that for years and years and years were like so protected, You can go to almost every any patch up you want and buy those. Yeah, it's you know. And of course the reason they said it had to be prescription is because of the side effects, because of the you know, you need this professional guidance. There is no guidance, is there. No, No, it really isn't. It's just you know, a free for all. Okay. Uh. Ten year old Shiba went in for rabies, told them they had lime, gave them antibiotic, game rabies shot and antibiotics. Two weeks later he was crippled.

38:45 Not uncommon, unfortunately, I mean line, vaccine is a big trigger of immune medated problems. Uh. Most animals that are test positive for lime don't really have infection, they're just exposed and it's the evidence of an immune response. So yeah, lime is a big one, you know that's overdiagnosed and overtreated. And again the vaccine is really can lead to all sorts of outoimmune problems or worse. Yeah, you know, and it's it's a shame that that's the way that that the industry has gone. I think we had a couple other questions they popped in up there. If we can get another one up there? I don't know, all right, oh okay, oh yeah, the customers asking the comment, which what what what one did you recommend to that client? It's the least I mean, I mean, I I did suggest I mean, you know, topical revolution, but you know that's you know, without all the added stuff in it. But it's still a chemical. It's you know, yeah, you know, if they're you know, scooting cats scooting your butts on the floor, could be parasites.

40:07 Could it be worms? Of course it could be, But that doesn't necessarily mean it is. Uh, if you're feeding species appropriate diets, if you're using different herbs and botanicals as a regular basis, it could just still be detox of course, you know part of what I see with that, of course, it's more so in dogs with that scooting with anal glands, which of course is basically you know, you know, a lymphatic system type X, you know, getting rid of the toxins. And so we have to do a h obviously more of a detox a little bit deeper because we're still detoxifying through the lymphatic system. So okay, okay, put the sheepa down.

41:06 I mean for okay, I'm yeah, just even with the rabies vaccine. Yeah, the rabies vaccines are horrible too. I mean, doctor dim, you do a lot with you know, mitigation of the side effects of that, don't you. Yeah, I mean a rabies vaccine. I mean, homeopathically speaking, we're injecting the essence or the energy of a of a virus, and we get the actual symptoms of the real disease and patients. So you know, when you look in the textbook, what are the symptoms of rabies, whether it's anxiety, fear, being alone, uh, seizures, aggression, even reverse sneezing, a lot of these, excessive sexual desire in a in a neuter or spade animal. Those are all symptoms of rabies in patients. So when we see these symptoms and animals that have been vaccinated for rabies, they often need to be treated with homeopathic remedies to counteract those effects. And then a big one that I see with rabies is neurological problems with the lower end of the body, you know, arthritis, spinal cord disease, you know, obviously seizures, so and behavioral changes big time.

42:22 And you know, animals that were formerly very calm and well behaved all of a sudden start becoming aggressive, so you know, or the behaviors become more suspicious. All symptoms of rabies and actual animals. So yeah, a big, a big one. And you know, the states of course require rabies as required by law, and you know, sometimes there's ways around that. You know, there's medical exemptions that can be given. Occasionally. States are now honoring vaccine tighters instead of rabies vaccines. So yeah, we want to try and avoid it as best as we can. But as I said, it is a legal requirement, right, and actually that was put into place back in the yearly nineteen twenties as a way to actually text your dog.

43:08 They had to have some way of being able to trace it because dogs obviously back then a lot of them just ran kind of free and you know, went home for a meal whenever they thought they needed one and couldn't find one on the street. And somehow we had to place a tax on the dog. So we have to get them through a registry point, which was the vaccine that was supposed where you had to register. And you know, in fact, for the longest time, that's where you got your rabies. You got your rabies tagging your license all at the same time, didn't you. Yeah, yeah, that's true. And you know, as we talk about on many shows, you know, the vaccine issue was certainly exploded with so many other vaccine now being injected into patients, new ones being developed all the time, Ones that are now being stressed that weren't in years past, like leptosporosis. Now the the a lot of the boarding and the daycare and the doobie parks are requiring lepto vaccines, canine influenza or flu shots. I mean, we're also now required These were things we never we never had a look at, you know, many years back. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's amazing that. And you know when you look the number and how it lowers the immune system, which makes them more susceptible to fleas and ticks.

44:30 Obviously, the lower the immune system, the uh, you know, the greater the threat is going to be. And you know, we get about three minutes here, it looks like at the end of the day. You do have natural options, don't you. Yeah, yeah, I know we do. And you know, whether there are central oils for fleeing tick prevention and treatment, whether they're whether it's dietamacious Earth food great, dietamacious Earth. There are companies that produce topical essential oils that go between the shoulder blades that do very similar that the more toxic chemicals do. So there are many, many now options other than the standard you know, pesticides that are prescribed all over the country. You know, so much of it is can you know about convenience and I know people think it, you know when they have you know, that's why they've gone from a one month through a three month because people just forget and don't do it. But just mixing up a simple uh you know, botanical tea like peppermint or catnip, lemon grass and spraying your animal before you go out. Those are natural repellents, but you have to remember to do that, you know. And of course the number one thing with preventing fleas and ticks is that strong immune system and that can only start with that species appropriate diet, you know, just you know, that's in a clean diet at that. I mean it has to be clean foods, not a lot of chemicals, not a lot of pesticides in the foods themselves,

46:06 organically raised as much as possible so that we're giving that animal the foundation to be able to basically repel these things naturally and to fight them off. And you know, when the blood tastes bad to a flea because they've had, you know, either the botanicals or a good strong immune system, they're going to look for another animal. They don't want to have to fight for for the meal. You know, they want the easiest, is like we do, right right, Yeah, exactly. So anyway, Yeah, essential oils they can be toxic to pets. You have to be very very careful in the way they're used, a dilution rates. It's just like anything else that's going into the bloodstream. Yeah, and uh, cats we have to be careful with yeah. Yeah, And of course essential oils are not the natural prime. You know, if you took catnip leaves and rub them on the body and release the natural oils, that's the natural oil. But you know, essential oils are all process as well, just like everything else.
