And welcome to Pet Health Cafe,
the show where your Pet has a Voice.

7
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.200
This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, and with me this week is

8
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.799
my guest host, Doctor Michael Dim. How are you doing, Doc?

9
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.000
All right? Bill? How are
you doing today? Hey? Another hot

10
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.640
one in South Florida? What can
I say? Yeah? Another busy day.

11
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.239
You know, never it's just you
know, kind of like ground home

12
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.239
day. Every day is pretty much
it's the same, but it's always different,

13
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:14.239
right right, you know, same
same challenges, same complaints, but

14
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.920
different people and uh, different needs
and you know, you know what,

15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.200
you go through this the same way. How's your week been. I haven't

16
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.879
talked to you in a couple of
weeks. My week's been okay, you

17
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:34.079
know, trying to stay busy,
you know, usual, just hoping ot

18
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.159
as many as you can. Huh
yeah, yeah, yeah, okay tonight,

19
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.719
because it seems to be the rage
on everybody's podcasts set out there the

20
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.519
last two weeks. Of course,
there's a whole issue of fleas and ticks

21
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.040
and heartworms, and you know,
it's that time of year again, and

22
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.040
uh, you know, we're up
against the same issues almost every year,

23
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.719
aren't we. Yeah, yeah,
of course, And uh, you know,

24
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.079
not just for people down here in
South Florida, but all over the

25
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.560
country. And you know, in
the spring and the summer weather comes,

26
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.680
that's when the the push to use
the you know, the preventative products you

27
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.719
know, comes about. Yeah,
that's that's one of the big things that

28
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.240
you know, obviously we're going to
get into, is what some of these

29
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.879
products are and what they do and
and things of that nature. But you

30
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.280
know, on the opposite side of
that, if an animal is healthy,

31
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.400
are they normally bothered by these parasites
for the most part, no, no.

32
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.719
I often tell my clients, you
know, when animals are raised in

33
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.520
a more chemical free, you know, species appropriate diet, without any vaccines

34
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.960
and chemicals and pesticides, they tend
not to attract the fleas or the ticks

35
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.960
as much because their vibration, their
frequency that they're vibrating to is much higher.

36
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.439
So you know, I tend not
to see problems with you know,

37
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.960
flea and ticks and and heartworm and
animals raised in a more holistic manner.

38
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.280
I often tell people, you know, when you look at multi animal households,

39
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.319
sometimes you'll see fleas on one or
two animals and not see fleas on

40
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.800
another animal. And then one animal
have one flea and start itching like crazy.

41
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.280
And the truth of the matter is
is each of those animals has a

42
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:25.199
different susceptibility to being attracting fleas,
and so even in the same household,

43
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.680
you'll sometimes see a few animals that
won't have any fleas at all. So

44
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.240
it's all due to susceptibility, which
comes down to, you know, how

45
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.879
healthy these animals are on a functional
level as well as an energetic level.

46
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.080
Well, you know, and I'm
glad you brought it up that the way

47
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.560
you did, because you know,
quite often in these multiple pets families and

48
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:53.000
households, you know, when an
animal either as or it comes to parasites,

49
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.039
or has different health issues and everything
else. One of the things that

50
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.719
you know that one of the most
common comments. I guess that I get

51
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.599
is, well, you know,
we're feeding them all the same thing as

52
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.719
species appropriate diet, we clean with
the same products everything else. Why does

53
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:15.439
one animal get sick and another one
doesn't? Yeah, I mean that's like

54
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.000
I said, it's just a it's
a susceptibility issue, which in energy medicine

55
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.399
or homeopathy we call it a dynamic
susceptibility. And like I said, that

56
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.120
not every animal has a susceptibility to
attracting fleas. And what we want to

57
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.120
try and do is to raise the
bar in the healthcare of those animals,

58
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.439
and you know, through diet and
herbals and homeopathy when appropriate, so that

59
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.800
they don't attract other fleas. Right. Well, one of the other things

60
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.920
too, is because people think have
a tendency to think because I'm feeding the

61
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.920
same diet to each one of all
of them, and you know all these

62
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.279
household and environmental conditions are pretty much
the same, that the all should be

63
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.759
acting the same. But there's still
all individuals, aren't they with with different

64
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:08.680
genetics and different epigenetics and different gut
biome and you know, just exposures.

65
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.839
You know, they don't all sniff
the same bladed grass when you take them

66
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.920
out for a walk. I mean, they're all doing different things. Yeah,

67
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.759
and so it's it's you know,
you still have to take in the

68
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:26.079
consideration the individual animal. And a
lot of times, I mean, even

69
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:32.399
with diets and how much we feed
and that sort of thing, there are

70
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:38.040
no real charts that are accurate because
the body is dynamic. It's always changing,

71
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.720
is you and I know? And
you know all I'm feeding my three

72
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.759
little dogs half a pound each day. Well, okay, do any of

73
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.120
them seem hungry? Well? Yeah, the one keeps trying to steal everybody

74
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.519
else's food. Well there's a reason
for that, isn't there. Yeah,

75
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:59.000
yeah, true, it's that that
animal needs more at that particular time.

76
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.279
So well, what's the prescription for
that, like, maybe give them more

77
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:10.639
food? Yeah, exactly, nice
and simple, keep it very simple.

78
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.120
Yeah, simple as possible. Now, you know, as we get into

79
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.199
this, of course, you know
then you know, with the use of

80
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:24.199
these preventive type treatments, and they
are treatments, they're not preventative. Actually,

81
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.839
the word prevention shouldn't even be there, should it. No, No,

82
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.079
because they're actually killing the parasites with
very strong chemicals. So I guess

83
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.240
you know, preventative wise, they
last up to a month. So once

84
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.279
they kill the adult fleas or some
of them last three months. So once

85
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.600
they kill the adult fleas or ticks, then you know, the the uh,

86
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.920
the immature stages of the flea and
ticks basically are killed over the subsequent

87
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.879
weeks or months, So you know, they are treatment as well as to

88
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.759
some degree preventative. Yeah. Well, I mean if you make if you

89
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.000
poison the body, obviously they don't
want to eat the poison, do they.

90
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:13.199
Yeah, that's true. But one
of the things that distresses me a

91
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.199
lot because of course I've dealt with
these the manufacturers for almost you know,

92
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.360
over fifty years, and when a
lot of these products came out, we

93
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.079
were told that how safe they are, that you know, the first spot

94
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.040
on type products. You know,
they're just putting a little bit of a

95
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:34.120
natural basically naturally based oil, not
a natural product, but naturally based oil

96
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.800
that basically covers the skin. And
of course, you know, we know

97
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.600
that the skin is you know,
the largest organ on the body. It

98
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:47.000
absorbs everything that's exposed to So there's
no way that they could not get into

99
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.240
the bloodstream, is there? No? Not at all? Yeah. I

100
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:57.000
remember many years ago when you have
products, the original products frontline and advantage,

101
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.120
and they used to say, nothing's
going to get in there systemically if

102
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.600
you apply it. And then we
started to see animals with neurologic symptoms come

103
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.639
up with auto immune problems come up
shortly afterwards, and you know, and

104
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.279
then when push came to shove,
these companies had to acknowledge that these products

105
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.079
do get into the bloodstream for sure. And so you know, they tried

106
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.639
marketing initially saying not but that's not
the way it really works, you know,

107
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.040
I mean it in itself, I
mean, it's not about the health

108
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.759
of the animal. It's not about
the welfare of the animal or even the

109
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.720
comfort of the animal. You know, what would be what's if we look

110
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:45.120
at different symptoms, what's worth scratching
and itching or a neurological disease or problem,

111
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:52.320
you know, autoimmune or seizures or
you know, I mean, it's

112
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.360
risk you know, it's risk management, isn't it at that point? Yeah?

113
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.399
No, it sure is. And
you know there's the cumutive hold up

114
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.840
of these products when they're used month
after month, year after year. As

115
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.200
we talk about, it's not just
the acute exposure. So if an animal

116
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.240
doesn't have a reaction to you know, a product seemingly you know, in

117
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.159
the in the days or weeks after
it's applied or ingested, then there's no

118
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.200
you know, people say, well
it's safe, but you know, it's

119
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.600
the it's the cumultive effects of these
things over long periods of time. The

120
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.879
other thing that's interesting is is that
a lot of these oral preventatives or treatments

121
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.559
as you may call it, are
supposed to be chewable, and a lot

122
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.879
of these animals will eat these products
the first month or two, and then

123
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.159
all of a sudden they'll stop eating
it because they know it makes them,

124
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.600
you know, their their bodies saying
I don't want to eat this because it

125
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.039
makes me sick. So then you'll
have to stuff the pills down their throat

126
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.039
or wrap it in cheese or other
other items to get them to eat it.

127
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.159
Yeah. Yeah, I mean they're
actually smarter than I think. That's

128
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.639
a lot of veterinarians out there.
They know what they shouldn't be taking the

129
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.919
tablets and pills and things of that
nature. Now, one of the things

130
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.440
on that on that natural side,
when you have a naturally immune body.

131
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:15.519
If an animal picks up, you
know, parasites, the body innately knows

132
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.279
that there's an issue either with you
know, the the you know, the

133
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.120
biting obviously and the taking of blood
and things of that nature. And doesn't

134
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:30.840
the body innately send antibodies and uh, you know, you know, different

135
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.960
types of cells to battle whatever bent
damage is being done, and also even

136
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.519
different hormones and chemicals with biochemicals within
the body that will get rid of and

137
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.840
discharge those parasites. Right, it's
well put exactly what the body does.

138
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.159
Yeah. So I mean you end
up with a dog that's got a lot

139
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.639
of fleas and then all of a
sudden they're all gone. Naturally what happened.

140
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.639
Yeah, the body took care of
it. Yeah, you know.

141
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.679
Yeah, it's only when it becomes
severe cases. Now, when we do

142
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.519
the chemical treatments that these chemical flea
and tick products, and we'll get into

143
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.159
heartworm as a separate entity here in
a few minutes. But when when you

144
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:22.399
give that that insecticidal product, basically
that bug killer we may as we'll call

145
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.519
it, what it really is to
the body that's not targeted within certain parts

146
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.559
of the body, is it like
the skin isn't it just going throughout the

147
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.600
whole body, the heart, the
lungs, the pancreas, adrenal gland.

148
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.840
Aren't they all being poisoned at the
same time? Absolutely? Sure is.

149
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:46.759
And you know when you take something
orally, it's absorbs systemically even and like

150
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.840
we said earlier, the topical products
are also absorbed systemically, so there's no

151
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.559
way around that when using these very
strong chemicals. And you know, it's,

152
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.679
uh, it's interesting because I I
kind of watch there's a group,

153
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:07.320
there's several groups out there talking about
seizure dogs, and one of the things

154
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.440
is that they were all kicking around, what's the safest of all these fleet

155
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:18.200
preventatives that we can use safely on
these seizure animal Well, isn't it these

156
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.440
products that are causing the seizures?
Yeah? Yeah, true. You know

157
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.240
it's like pick your poison, right, So yeah, yeah, that's for

158
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.840
sure. So you know that,
you know, with animals have seizures,

159
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.559
they try and you know, come
up with other formulations. I mean,

160
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.279
I had a question today, I
think from one of your clients, a

161
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.879
mutual client, that she tried everything
naturally to treat the fleas and she still

162
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:56.279
was battling the fleas, and you
know, she asked me which systemic product

163
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.000
that I would recommend, So I
gave her a recommendation, and I said,

164
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.840
you know, it's like the least
I mean, not the least,

165
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.600
but it's probably what I know is
the less toxic of the toxic. So

166
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.240
that's all I could really say to
her. I couldn't say everything's all safe,

167
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.960
no, and it's true. I
mean, it's it's you know,

168
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.639
when I was watching some of this, it was like which product produce the

169
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.360
mildest symptoms, if you will,
And that's what the whole discussion boiled down

170
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.600
to, you know, and every
of course, every animal is going to

171
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.519
be different, so you can't predict
how it's going to affect that particular animal.

172
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.080
And of course the animal can't doesn't
talk to us, doesn't know English

173
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.000
or Spanish or any other language that
we're familiar with, so we don't know

174
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.799
what's going on in that body until
there's really a sometimes a major, major

175
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.759
symptom that could be problematic. Yeah, and then of course then they're running

176
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.240
to you, and they're running to
me and going what do I do?

177
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.919
And you know what caused it?
I had one client a new client in

178
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:09.240
today that did the did a treatment
and seemed okay for about a week.

179
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.519
All of a sudden the animals crashing. They went to a second VET and

180
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.879
told them and that they had this, and they dismissed it. That all

181
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:24.240
it couldn't be that, you know, I mean net and then they prescribed

182
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:31.360
another one right now. Fortunately she
came to me, but actually it was

183
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.320
her mom that had done it,
and she said, Mom, no,

184
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.919
I'm going to go see Bill.
And that's the end of it. But

185
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.600
yeah, but the other thing is
on a client like you just mentioned.

186
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.720
You know, we hear all the
time that all these products don't work.

187
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.000
They don't work, they don't work
well. Number one, you if you

188
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:56.799
use even just a flea spray,
botanical oil, any any number of these

189
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:03.080
natural products, they all work.
They're all killing. But you don't necessarily

190
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.039
see the the parasite die immediately.
It does take a while to go through

191
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:15.399
that basically that neurosystem of the insect
of the parasite to kill it. So

192
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.200
it you know, it can be
several minutes, it could be several hours

193
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.279
before they die. We see that
when we spray for roaches and things of

194
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.240
that nature. You know, most
people when they use that bug spray,

195
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.000
they drown them rather than kill them
with the you know, the insect the

196
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:35.080
site product. But okay, the
fleas that you're seeing now on the body

197
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.480
the next day, those are not
the same fleas, right, those are

198
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.519
new ones. So you have to
then start going backwards. Why is this

199
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:50.120
animal a flea magnet? What am
I doing wrong? What's wrong in the

200
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:56.039
environment that we're in? Where could
he possibly be picking them up? You

201
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.559
know, there's all these other factors
that go into it again that are invisible.

202
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.519
We don't see them. Yeah,
I mean I tell clients the same

203
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.440
thing about you know, intestinal parasites. You know, there are a hookworm

204
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.759
larvae and eggs and probably most of
the soil in South Florida, but not

205
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:21.519
every dog who's eating grass or out
playing in the grass or out in the

206
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.720
yard. You know, most healthy
adult animals don't come down with hookworms,

207
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.120
and if they do, it's usually
a susceptibility problem or a problem with digestion.

208
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.600
So you know, it's it's it
all is the same idea. I

209
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:40.159
mean, these parasites are out there, and instead of focusing on killing the

210
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.519
parasites with strong chemicals, we need
to focus more on the terrain of the

211
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.480
animal or you know what's in holistic
medicine we call the terrain of the patient

212
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.080
rather than the external agents. In
other words, make the patient stronger so

213
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.960
that they're not attracting these parasites,
whether they're intestinal worms or you know,

214
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.240
fleas and ticks or heartworms or whatever
they may be. Yeah, I mean,

215
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.480
it was just amazingly say when I
when I saw some of these comments,

216
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.240
and by the way, I'm I'm
basically I can't post anything on this

217
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.960
feed because I talk about natural and
it's like, Okay, who's running these

218
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.319
sites? You know when people are
going to them because they're looking for answers,

219
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.599
And I know you feel a lot
like I do that that the the

220
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.319
service that some of these groups do
by just focusing in on the medicine that

221
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:42.480
synthetic allopathic model is in many cases
of the service to the health of that

222
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:48.079
particular animal, isn't it. Yeah, sure is. It's definitely a disservice.

223
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.480
And like you said, you come
along with natural suggestion and I don't

224
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.359
want to hear any of that,
and even that I don't understand the logic

225
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.920
behind that, except for the brainwashing
if you will that you know, only

226
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:11.400
only a chemical the FDA definition only
a patented drug can treat a disease or

227
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:21.079
can treat a problem. Anything beyond
that is heresy and you know cannot,

228
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.240
you know, should not ever be
posted, talked about, uh delivered?

229
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.640
You know, I mean you you
know in homeopathy, you battled that every

230
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:36.279
day. Yeah, absolutely, m
And homeopathy is being you know, blasted

231
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.720
at all levels and getting harder and
hard to find homeopathic remedies and whole foods

232
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.640
they got rid of them. I
wasn't aware of that. Whole foods up

233
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:52.480
at least up this way, okay, supply and you know it's and the

234
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.440
FDA is looking to crack down on
homeopathic remedies and and you know, trying

235
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.920
to extinguish the practice of it.
So the battle's out there. Yeah,

236
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.920
and I mean, and of course
the battle on the food side, which

237
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:11.000
of course includes herbs and botanicals.
You know, they're starting to pick off,

238
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:12.759
you know, one herb at a
time. You know, in many

239
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:22.119
cases there's a question should a ped
owner also do what was that claims for

240
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:30.960
themselves periodically? Absolutely. The whole
reason for taking a stool sample into that

241
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.319
is because of the public health risk. I'm sure that that's what they taught

242
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.960
to you in ved school, and
yet when you talk to your human doctor,

243
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.160
they never mentioned it. They never
asked, almost never asked to do

244
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:48.319
a parasite check. And uh,
it's just like there's as a major,

245
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.960
major missing link there. We're at
the break right now, so let's talk

246
00:19:52.000 --> 00:20:04.839
a little bit more about this after
the break. Does your pets suffer from

voice. This is Build a Pet Health

272
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.880
Guru and doctor Michael Dim my special
guest host, and we're talking about parasites

273
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.720
tonight. You know, we had
a question just before the break there on

274
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.240
you know, should humans be cleansing
themselves? And a most human doctors,

275
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.240
even though it's such as veterinarians,
make it into such a major thing about

276
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:45.359
the public health issue. Why don't
human doctors make it at least a small

277
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.640
priority. Yeah, very true.
Unless you go to a functional medicine doctrine

278
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.559
they'll probably address it. Yeah,
they're about as hard to find as a

279
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:03.799
homeopath, way right. Yeah,
and they're always being chased down as well.

280
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.319
But you know, you've brought up
a little bit about intestinal parasites.

281
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:15.319
Internal parasites. Why are those so
much of a more of a problem in

282
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.519
our dogs and cats? And they
aren't humans. I don't really think they're

283
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.160
more of a problem, Like you
mentioned, they're just not not checked for.

284
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.759
You know, like you said,
people have a tremendous tendency to have

285
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.440
parasites. But in animals of course, Uh, you know, there's big

286
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:40.480
money to be made by running stool
sample checks and putting animals on these preventatives

287
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.519
that are often combination medicines with flea
tick or heartworn medicines all in one,

288
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:51.880
and you know, with intestinal parasite
protection. I mean it's becoming increasingly more

289
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.920
complex and increasingly number of compounds in
these products. It's you know, it's

290
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:03.880
also increases the toxicity. When you're
using several compound compounds in one product.

291
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.440
You know, that's really even more
of a slam on the animal. Yeah,

292
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:14.319
it's true. You know, somebody
came about, you know, chip

293
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.680
micro chipping, and you know of
all shelter animals asing, and how can

294
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.519
this be stopped? Basically it's about
control. That's government control now, isn't

295
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.240
it. Yeah yeah, micro chipping
is now universal as it will as it

296
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:33.000
as try to be in people.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

297
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.200
here's another one. This is something
the majority of peteople are unaware of.

298
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.519
Teaching and educating the pet owners.
Uh yeah, it's it's that's what

299
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.279
we're trying to do here. In
fact, I didn't even put out the

300
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.440
disclaimer. I mean, I'm glad
I'm seeing people in the chat room that

301
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.240
I everybody's invited to get in there. Of course, we want everybody to

302
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.799
share and like and subscribe to this
channel because we do bring out a lot

303
00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:02.160
of information. You know, I'm
actually hoping that maybe one two people saw

304
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:10.599
my at least the possibility of watching
this show on the one seizure forum that

305
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.279
I threw it up on. And
uh, I mean it's a shame that

306
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:15.920
it's just this stuff is just blocked. I mean, it's not like we're

307
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:22.799
selling products here or anything. You
know, this is educational and you know,

308
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.000
if if you're in any of these
groups, you know, these pet

309
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.039
groups, health groups especially, I
mean, you know, we cover both

310
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.240
sides of the issue. We talk
about the good and the bad and the

311
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.200
ugly and you know some of the
things that the mistakes that we've made.

312
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.960
We've both been in, you know, in the industry for a number of

313
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:45.400
you know, not even a number
of years. I've been in over half

314
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.400
a century. You've been in what
thirty years now or more? Years?

315
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.799
Yeah? Yeah, so yeah,
So, I mean we first off,

316
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.880
we've seen the industry change. The
products that are available today that weren't available

317
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:06.680
at all when and the concepts when
I started out in this business, and

318
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.000
of of course you've seen the same
thing in the veterinary field. Although even

319
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.640
though they keep coming up with new
drugs, they don't seem to do anything

320
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.680
different, do they. No,
No, they're just if anything, like

321
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.400
I said, they're they're they do
the same things, and if anything,

322
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:26.960
they're stronger because of the combinations.
I remember back in the nineties when like

323
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.000
I said, Advantage or Frontline came
out, and I remember the Advantage drug

324
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.640
rep to come in and say,
well, it's safe for our animals because

325
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.759
this is the same stuff we use
on our crops as a pesticide. So

326
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.319
yes, so that was his argument. We're using it on the animals that

327
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:47.640
you know that man, That just
gave me so much confidence. I'll tell

328
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.839
you I just can't go out and
wait and eat a bowl of veggies now,

329
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:56.039
I mean, and you know,
I mean, if you think of

330
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.240
it in that respect, Okay,
that crops are being you know, sprayed

331
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.880
with that, and we're ingesting our
crops, and yet the number one problem

332
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.680
this weekend is going to be mosquitoes, right, I guess it doesn't reach

333
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:18.680
pel mosquitoes doesn't in humans? Yeah, you know, I the thing about

334
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.640
the intestinal parasite products, you know, the wormers. As I said earlier,

335
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:30.880
most of these most healthy adult animals
don't have overgrowth of these intestinal parasites

336
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.240
like hookworm or roundworms or occidia.
And if they do, as I said,

337
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.640
it's an unhealthy digestive tract. I
mean puppies and young animals, kittens,

338
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.119
they sometimes will have you know,
test positive. They either get them

339
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.000
from their mother's milk or you know, their immune system is still maturing.

340
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.440
But as they mature, their own
bodies handle low levels of these parasites on

341
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.359
their own as they reach adulthood.
You know, we rarely see problems with

342
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.920
these parasit and our animals, And
as I said, if we do,

343
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.359
then there's a problem there with the
animal, the animal side of the equation.

344
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.319
Yeah, now, you know I
said, we cover heartworms a little

345
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:18.839
bit differently too. Heartworms is a
you know, basically, I guess really

346
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.599
the push on nets started in the
eighties, and you know, I know

347
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.880
that several of my colleagues that have
worked in the field and did a lot

348
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.759
of research in it, and of
course I worked with some of the people

349
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.839
that were up at the University of
Pennsylvania doing the research back in the seventies

350
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:45.559
that in nature canines they're they're testing
positive is usually under under three percent.

351
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.839
Now that's gonna very that's going to
vary obviously depending on the part of the

352
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:53.240
country where mosquitos are going to be
more endemic. But it's only one species

353
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.680
of mosquitos that carry it in the
first place, and you've got to be

354
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:06.359
fit by multiple mosquitos in order to
pass that larva into the bloodstream because you

355
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.920
know, obviously need both males and
females. By the time they reached the

356
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:15.960
heart. You know, everything that
I've read and seen, it can take

357
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.200
six to nine months for those larva
to get to the heart in the first

358
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.920
place. And if you've got a
healthy immune system, I don't do the

359
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.240
little things, these little things that
are floating a run in the bloodstream that

360
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.920
kind of like go after these creatures
that aren't supposed to be there part of

361
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:37.480
our immune system. He brought up, you know pen where you know,

362
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.200
they did a lot of you know, the first president of the American Heartworm

363
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:47.440
Veninary Society was cardiology professor my name
David Knight, and he was quoted back

364
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:52.279
then, as you know, in
a journal article. I used to keep

365
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.519
the paper copy, but he was
quoted back then even as an allopathic conventional

366
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:06.720
right, that instead of recommending all
these products in one and year round prevention,

367
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.920
that we educate clients in the northeast
or the central part of the country

368
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.480
when heartworms was actually even a potential, like you said, it's very low

369
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.799
potential, but a potential risk to
animals. So and he was quoted as

370
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:25.000
saying, by blanketly recommending year round
prevention. We you know, we're not

371
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:29.680
educating our clients on how the biology
of the you know, the disease and

372
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.640
the mosquito work because the average temperature
has to be sixty five degrees or higher

373
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:40.559
for thirty consecutive days for mosquitoes to
transmit heartworm larvae, and so that just

374
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.720
doesn't occur, you know, you
know, thirty days in a row in

375
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.799
two thirds of the country, so
you know, yet most of the country,

376
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.400
you know, the recommendations are year
round prevention. So you know,

377
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:59.079
as a result, we're poisoning our
pets twelve months out of the year,

378
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:06.880
and we wonder why cancers and diabetes
and autoimmune and UH seizures and epilepsy and

379
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.079
all these other problems are popping up. We're not even giving the I mean

380
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:18.359
even if you use these products at
the peat, you know, susceptibility,

381
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.599
the body would add if you didn't
do it, if you if you quit

382
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.640
doing it when it would not be
a possibility. At least a body would

383
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.680
have a little bit of time to
recover, wouldn't it. Yeah. True,

384
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.440
gives the body a chance, yeah, you know, and it gives

385
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.480
the owner a chance to you know, at least use some detox products and

386
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.200
you know, kind of clean this
stuff out. And you know, the

387
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:45.119
other thing is for clients that choose
to use the traditional monthly heart rum prevention

388
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.440
pills. You know, the data
came out years ago, a long time

389
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.640
ago that you know, the preventative
products work pro you know, to prevent

390
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:57.680
infection for at least two to three
months. So for people that are still

391
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:02.039
frightened and want to use these chemicals, you can get by with using a

392
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.279
pill every two to three months,
which I don't recommend obviously my holistic practice,

393
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.079
but you know, they can use
a pill every two to three months

394
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.920
and do the math after five years. That's quite a less number of pesticide

395
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.119
dosing the animals exposed to than animals
getting it year round twelve months a year

396
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.599
so you know, we want to
be mindful of looking at everything holistically.

397
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.079
Everything you put on or in the
body builds up over time. And it's

398
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:35.880
you know, the these these parasite
products that whether they're internal or external,

399
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:42.680
you know, the yearly vaccines or
and the poor diets, the other chemical

400
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.039
and toxic exposures we talk about all
the time in the air and the water

401
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.720
and you know that kind of thing. And we have to look at health

402
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.279
in that perspective if we want our
animals to be healthy, So not just

403
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:58.480
in a you know, you know, like an isolating bubble. Yeah,

404
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:05.720
I mean it's it's and and and
and trust be told, aren't there a

405
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:14.960
number of different herbs and botanicals and
and actually foods that actually in nature that

406
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.319
animals will migrate towards and and consume
that actually eliminate these problems. Yeah,

407
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.720
and you guys sell a lot of
them at your story there. So you

408
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:31.160
know that heartworm Parasite Blend is a
is a big, big seller of some

409
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.119
of the clients that I send to
you that still want to use these plans.

410
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.319
You know, I mean, it's
it's you know, I mean,

411
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:45.160
over the years, I've seen a
number of heartworm positive animals, and to

412
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:50.680
be honest, and most of them
that tested positive have been on these so

413
00:33:50.759 --> 00:34:00.000
called synthetic preventatives and it really didn't
prevent anything. But also wonder a minute

414
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.039
here, but are these tests that
that they do for heartworms? Are these

415
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.760
even accurate? You know, it's
hard to say. I mean, they're

416
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.719
you know, there's probably gonna be
false you know, false positives, false

417
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.400
negatives. I did want to bring
up a point before the break that you

418
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:23.159
mentioned about, Uh, you know, the heartworm. I see it mainly

419
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:30.880
in animals that are in shelter,
situated from rescue shelters, animals on processed

420
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.239
poor diets, you know, don't
get much of anything. That's where you

421
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.400
see the positive. You don't see
them in animals raise the way we're preaching

422
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:38.960
on the show, that's for sure. Yeah. Well, of course,

423
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.639
the big part of that is they're
tied outside and of course, you know,

424
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.559
exposed to mosquitoes in you know,
old sheds and doghouses and where the

425
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:51.719
mosquitos just love to live. Okay, we're at this break. Let's take

426
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:53.440
a quick break here, and then
we'll get back and give them some good

427
00:34:53.440 --> 00:35:07.679
suggestions. I hope we all want
our pets to be as healthy as possible.

448
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.639
got some comments coming in. We
might want to handle some of these while

449
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.239
we're before we get into the conclusion
because we always run out of time at

450
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:20.519
the end of our broadcast. Okay, once take vitamin C off the market

451
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.559
and make it a prescription. Yeah, I mean, they're just trying to

452
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.960
control everything today, aren't they.
Yeah, they are. I mean,

453
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:34.920
you know, uh, And it's
funny so many of the drugs that aren't

454
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.760
even used in you know, the
warmers and stuff like that when you talk

455
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.840
to a veterinarian, they have to
be prescription. But yet you can go

456
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:46.519
into almost any any feed store,
farm store and buy them over the counter,

457
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:52.199
can't you. I'm sorry I was
reading the question. Yeah, well,

458
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.000
I mean the fact that you can
buy most of these products right in

459
00:37:54.079 --> 00:38:00.159
a feed store without a prescription.
Yeah, I mean, it's it's amazing.

460
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:05.119
Even the you know, the so
called preventatives that for years and years

461
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.440
and years were like so protected,
You can go to almost every any patch

462
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:14.599
up you want and buy those.
Yeah, it's you know. And of

463
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:16.840
course the reason they said it had
to be prescription is because of the side

464
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:22.400
effects, because of the you know, you need this professional guidance. There

465
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.199
is no guidance, is there.
No, No, it really isn't.

466
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:34.960
It's just you know, a free
for all. Okay. Uh. Ten

467
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.760
year old Shiba went in for rabies, told them they had lime, gave

468
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:44.400
them antibiotic, game rabies shot and
antibiotics. Two weeks later he was crippled.

469
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:51.559
Not uncommon, unfortunately, I mean
line, vaccine is a big trigger

470
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.440
of immune medated problems. Uh.
Most animals that are test positive for lime

471
00:38:55.880 --> 00:39:00.320
don't really have infection, they're just
exposed and it's the evidence of an immune

472
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:06.239
response. So yeah, lime is
a big one, you know that's overdiagnosed

473
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:10.800
and overtreated. And again the vaccine
is really can lead to all sorts of

474
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:16.159
outoimmune problems or worse. Yeah,
you know, and it's it's a shame

475
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.360
that that's the way that that the
industry has gone. I think we had

476
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:27.440
a couple other questions they popped in
up there. If we can get another

477
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:36.159
one up there? I don't know, all right, oh okay, oh

478
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.599
yeah, the customers asking the comment, which what what what one did you

479
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:45.159
recommend to that client? It's the
least I mean, I mean, I

480
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:51.840
I did suggest I mean, you
know, topical revolution, but you know

481
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.519
that's you know, without all the
added stuff in it. But it's still

482
00:39:55.519 --> 00:40:00.719
a chemical. It's you know,
yeah, you know, if they're you

483
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:07.320
know, scooting cats scooting your butts
on the floor, could be parasites.

484
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.280
Could it be worms? Of course
it could be, But that doesn't necessarily

485
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:17.480
mean it is. Uh, if
you're feeding species appropriate diets, if you're

486
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.519
using different herbs and botanicals as a
regular basis, it could just still be

487
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:28.320
detox of course, you know part
of what I see with that, of

488
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.679
course, it's more so in dogs
with that scooting with anal glands, which

489
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:38.960
of course is basically you know,
you know, a lymphatic system type X,

490
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.440
you know, getting rid of the
toxins. And so we have to

491
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:51.159
do a h obviously more of a
detox a little bit deeper because we're still

492
00:40:51.920 --> 00:41:05.880
detoxifying through the lymphatic system. So
okay, okay, put the sheepa down.

493
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:17.280
I mean for okay, I'm yeah, just even with the rabies vaccine.

494
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:20.840
Yeah, the rabies vaccines are horrible
too. I mean, doctor dim,

495
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.840
you do a lot with you know, mitigation of the side effects of

496
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.880
that, don't you. Yeah,
I mean a rabies vaccine. I mean,

497
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.920
homeopathically speaking, we're injecting the essence
or the energy of a of a

498
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.960
virus, and we get the actual
symptoms of the real disease and patients.

499
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.960
So you know, when you look
in the textbook, what are the symptoms

500
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:47.000
of rabies, whether it's anxiety,
fear, being alone, uh, seizures,

501
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:54.360
aggression, even reverse sneezing, a
lot of these, excessive sexual desire

502
00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:59.960
in a in a neuter or spade
animal. Those are all symptoms of rabies

503
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.119
in patients. So when we see
these symptoms and animals that have been vaccinated

504
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.280
for rabies, they often need to
be treated with homeopathic remedies to counteract those

505
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:13.440
effects. And then a big one
that I see with rabies is neurological problems

506
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.480
with the lower end of the body, you know, arthritis, spinal cord

507
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:22.800
disease, you know, obviously seizures, so and behavioral changes big time.

508
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:28.719
And you know, animals that were
formerly very calm and well behaved all of

509
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:32.400
a sudden start becoming aggressive, so
you know, or the behaviors become more

510
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:37.079
suspicious. All symptoms of rabies and
actual animals. So yeah, a big,

511
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:43.239
a big one. And you know, the states of course require rabies

512
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.280
as required by law, and you
know, sometimes there's ways around that.

513
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:52.840
You know, there's medical exemptions that
can be given. Occasionally. States are

514
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.159
now honoring vaccine tighters instead of rabies
vaccines. So yeah, we want to

515
00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:00.400
try and avoid it as best as
we can. But as I said,

516
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.079
it is a legal requirement, right, and actually that was put into place

517
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.800
back in the yearly nineteen twenties as
a way to actually text your dog.

518
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:14.559
They had to have some way of
being able to trace it because dogs obviously

519
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.559
back then a lot of them just
ran kind of free and you know,

520
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:21.440
went home for a meal whenever they
thought they needed one and couldn't find one

521
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:25.039
on the street. And somehow we
had to place a tax on the dog.

522
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:30.559
So we have to get them through
a registry point, which was the

523
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:37.639
vaccine that was supposed where you had
to register. And you know, in

524
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.199
fact, for the longest time,
that's where you got your rabies. You

525
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:43.920
got your rabies tagging your license all
at the same time, didn't you.

526
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:49.320
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
And you know, as we talk about

527
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.679
on many shows, you know,
the vaccine issue was certainly exploded with so

528
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:58.960
many other vaccine now being injected into
patients, new ones being developed all the

529
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:02.159
time, Ones that are now being
stressed that weren't in years past, like

530
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:09.159
leptosporosis. Now the the a lot
of the boarding and the daycare and the

531
00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:15.360
doobie parks are requiring lepto vaccines,
canine influenza or flu shots. I mean,

532
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.679
we're also now required These were things
we never we never had a look

533
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.800
at, you know, many years
back. Yeah, yeah, I mean

534
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:28.000
it's amazing that. And you know
when you look the number and how it

535
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:30.639
lowers the immune system, which makes
them more susceptible to fleas and ticks.

536
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:35.599
Obviously, the lower the immune system, the uh, you know, the

537
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:39.760
greater the threat is going to be. And you know, we get about

538
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:45.239
three minutes here, it looks like
at the end of the day. You

539
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:49.199
do have natural options, don't you. Yeah, yeah, I know we

540
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:52.880
do. And you know, whether
there are central oils for fleeing tick prevention

541
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:58.519
and treatment, whether they're whether it's
dietamacious Earth food great, dietamacious Earth.

542
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.559
There are companies that produce topical essential
oils that go between the shoulder blades that

543
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.559
do very similar that the more toxic
chemicals do. So there are many,

544
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:15.400
many now options other than the standard
you know, pesticides that are prescribed all

545
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.280
over the country. You know,
so much of it is can you know

546
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.800
about convenience and I know people think
it, you know when they have you

547
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:24.800
know, that's why they've gone from
a one month through a three month because

548
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.280
people just forget and don't do it. But just mixing up a simple uh

549
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:37.920
you know, botanical tea like peppermint
or catnip, lemon grass and spraying your

550
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:40.079
animal before you go out. Those
are natural repellents, but you have to

551
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:45.800
remember to do that, you know. And of course the number one thing

552
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.920
with preventing fleas and ticks is that
strong immune system and that can only start

553
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:58.079
with that species appropriate diet, you
know, just you know, that's in

554
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.960
a clean diet at that. I
mean it has to be clean foods,

555
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.960
not a lot of chemicals, not
a lot of pesticides in the foods themselves,

556
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:12.639
organically raised as much as possible so
that we're giving that animal the foundation

557
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:19.719
to be able to basically repel these
things naturally and to fight them off.

558
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.400
And you know, when the blood
tastes bad to a flea because they've had,

559
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.280
you know, either the botanicals or
a good strong immune system, they're

560
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:31.440
going to look for another animal.
They don't want to have to fight for

561
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.679
for the meal. You know,
they want the easiest, is like we

562
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:40.960
do, right right, Yeah,
exactly. So anyway, Yeah, essential

563
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.760
oils they can be toxic to pets. You have to be very very careful

564
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:51.280
in the way they're used, a
dilution rates. It's just like anything else

565
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.599
that's going into the bloodstream. Yeah, and uh, cats we have to

566
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:59.159
be careful with yeah. Yeah,
And of course essential oils are not the

567
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:04.519
natural prime. You know, if
you took catnip leaves and rub them on

568
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.440
the body and release the natural oils, that's the natural oil. But you

569
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.440
know, essential oils are all process
as well, just like everything else.

570
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.639
So we get down to a last
minute. Where can people reach you,

571
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:19.280
doctor Dim? I can go to
my website, which is doctordim dot com.

572
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:21.960
That's d O C T O R
D I M dot com. That

573
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.320
has my email address, my contact
information, and I try and check my

574
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:30.679
emails regularly. Okay, good,
Of course I can be reached of course

575
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:35.880
through my Paleopa Pet health Guru.
You know, one hundred other places,

576
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:37.800
it seems like anymore. I mean, we're all over the place right now.

577
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:44.320
And uh, basically, you know, Memorial Day weekend. I hope

578
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:51.159
everybody you know has a pleasant weekend. Don't over indulge, uh you know,

579
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.400
watch out if there's fireworks with your
pets around them, so that,

580
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:57.159
uh, you know, we don't
have to deal with the stress and the

581
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.000
anxiety and all the other problems on
the other side. With that being said,

582
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:05.840
thank you for watching. We'll be
back again in another week. Thank

583
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:20.519
you. Everybody. Does your pets
suffer from allergies, cancer, digestive issues,

584
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.159
or joint and skin problems? These
