The Future and New Reality of Pet Health

Show Notes
Transcript

The cost of keeping a pet or multiple pets has exploded. That will result in fewer rescued pets, more depopulating ( yes culling through euthanasia) of unwanted pets. Planning with your budget, looking at how there are steps you can take for your pets' ultimate lifestyle. Food, grooming, medical influence are all factors. Optimal health is a game changer. The answers are here!

10
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.359
I'm supposed to have a special guest tonight. He's delayed

11
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.640
in getting onto the show. We'll just bring him in

12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.399
when he's free and available. I do want to, as always,

13
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.600
remind people who share the link to this show to

14
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.359
subscribe so that we build up our algorithms and that

15
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.200
you don't miss a single episode like it on whatever

16
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.719
platform you're listening, and we are on literally multiple outlets,

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.280
bolt of video and hundreds developlets on the audio. It

18
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.519
is available in a rerun side of it twenty four

19
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.920
to seven. So if you happen to miss or your

20
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.920
friends happen to miss it, make sure that they tune in.

21
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.319
We try to listen by topics. So if your friends

22
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.439
happens to have cancer, you know, you can look up

23
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.239
all the cancer shows. If they're nutritional, we can look

24
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.760
at that autoimmune. We try to keep it the titles

25
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.959
somewhat explanatory, and usually there's a write up, especially if

26
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.159
you're looking on the audio part of it. One of

27
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.239
the things I did want to bring up before I

28
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:02.239
get started is in my search heare for excellence, I

29
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.280
wanted to let people know about my dedication for basically

30
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.400
reforming the animal health industry. It's important that we do

31
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.719
this stuff for our animals, our pets, and of course

32
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.199
even ourselves now because since we incorporate so much of

33
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.840
what we do into human health as well, veterinary medicine,

34
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:26.560
the pet food industry, even pets supply industry, they need

35
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.560
to now start to focus more on the animals' real

36
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.639
needs and less at being just a commodity, just something

37
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.560
to sell you just you know, just not another diet

38
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.960
that does not work, another vet procedure that tells us nothing,

39
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.199
and of course tons and tons of treats and toys,

40
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.159
many of which are very very dangerous. So we need

41
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.159
to take another look at this and startling start looking

42
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.039
at it as the animal health industry, not as thevet

43
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.479
medicine or the pet industry. And with that being said,

44
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.879
I want to start on the topic of tonight, which

45
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:14.319
is label as a new reality of pet health. And

46
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.360
basically what I want to do is start looking into

47
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.840
the future, if you will, what's going to be in

48
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.919
store for pet owners and their pets, because this is

49
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.439
going to be very very critical, I believe, in the

50
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.919
next three, four or five years. As we're all aware,

51
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.400
if you own a pat there's a lot of pressure

52
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:38.800
to apply a lot of medical information and care to

53
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:45.280
that animal, much of which really is not necessary. This results,

54
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:51.520
of course in very very high veterinarials financial success of

55
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:56.639
course for the animal hospitals and veterinarians that are involved,

56
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.759
although it's more of the hospital since a majority of

57
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:04.439
them are now being run by big industry, you know,

58
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.039
the biggest of course being and I hate to mention names,

59
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:15.159
but the Martyrs Candy family owns multiple brands, actually toads

60
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.959
of brands of pet foods, They own multiple brands of

61
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.759
veterinary hospitals. They have bought the veterinary testing labs, and

62
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.199
because of this they have created basically what's known as

63
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.319
a vertical market, so they control your whole pat's care.

64
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.759
They dictate when you should see veterinarians for what kind

65
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.639
of procedures, what kind of testing, obviously since they sell

66
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.199
the testing, what kinds of diets to put your animal on,

67
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.360
and based on computer models, basically not so much as

68
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.759
hands on veterinary care anymore. It also creates a whole

69
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:01.319
other issue with any kind of relationship with veterinarian because

70
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.279
you know, they've bought up many, many small practices that

71
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.759
were run by even some very very good clinician type

72
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.720
veterinarians that could do diagnostic work, dues, you know, the

73
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.319
whole plestor of treatment and everything else. And they when

74
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.199
they sell out, they have to work for that hospital

75
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.920
that chain for a certain length of time, and generally speaking,

76
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.480
as soon as that contract is up, they're gone and

77
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.319
either starting a brand new practice or retiring or changing professions.

78
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319
It's not the same as it was fifty years ago

79
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.160
when I started in this business, not even close. And

80
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.879
this is going to create even more problems. As we

81
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.959
moved down the roadway of animal health, everything has become

82
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:55.720
so specialized that a veterinarian no longer is pinpointing any

83
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:01.600
real diagnostic result and making it some You know, it's

84
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.759
now routine that you must see must see your animal

85
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:11.160
practitioner on a regular basis, like every six months. Some

86
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.120
of them are requiring every three months. That's a lot

87
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.279
of money, and of course a lot of its disguise

88
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.000
is so called wellness checks. I don't know if anybody's

89
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.720
out there. I forgot to mention that the chat room

90
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.279
is open, and I'd love to hear some of your experiences.

91
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.240
But rarely can you go into an animal hospital for

92
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:37.360
a wellness check and not have diagnostics done, medications, prescribed diets,

93
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:42.920
prescribed preventatives prescribed, so that ninety nine dollars wellness check

94
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.040
can sometimes cost you over a thousand dollars. We've seen

95
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.160
several cases here recently which was a simple diagnosis for us.

96
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.240
The veterinarians that were involved created a lot of fear

97
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.720
that if they if the owners didn't do what they said,

98
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:05.399
even though they could not diagnosed as a disease or

99
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.600
a actually any pathology that this animal was suffering from.

100
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.519
The owners spent over thirty thousand dollars and yes, the

101
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.560
dog passed away without ever having a diagnosis. These are

102
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.360
the things that sad me because we had reviewed the

103
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.920
symptoms and that sort of thing, and it was obviously,

104
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.319
from my standpoint my opinion, a toxicity problem. The dog

105
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.560
got into some sort of poison. The symptoms were right,

106
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:45.240
but there were multiple diagnoses, MRIs, cat scans, X rays performed,

107
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.040
all kinds of drugs inflicted. When we don't even know

108
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.560
what we're dealing with, how can you prescribe a treatment

109
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.319
plan if you have no idea what's going on? And

110
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.920
when we look at something, and if you've taken a

111
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.160
approach like I do, based on what I know about

112
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.959
the environment, what I know about the food additives, what

113
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.000
I know about what certain preventatives do that are all

114
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.160
very very toxic, the first thing we should be looking

115
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:20.879
at is toxicity. However, the veterinary industry rarely talks about

116
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.680
toxicity because they're in the market of selling toxins. You know,

117
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.000
very few veterinarians are willing to go out on a

118
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.919
limb and tell you that something that was prescribed, whether

119
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.919
it's some sort of prevention in any form, any food

120
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.559
that's been prescribed, that it has a lot of toxic

121
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:46.360
chemicals in it, or any procedure that is harmful. I mean,

122
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.480
you have to realize the simplest things like dentals and

123
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.639
X rays, and obviously there are various scands quite often

124
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.559
require things like anesthesia, even if it's a local, and

125
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.840
those are more toxins in the body. But yet they

126
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:07.840
do not prescribe any type of therapeutic, if you will,

127
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.600
for detoxification. Generally speaking, when you go in, especially if

128
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.879
you have a sick animal, quite often you're referred first

129
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.759
off to an emergency clinic, which costs you a lot

130
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:25.279
of extra money. And when that happens, that's additional expenses. Okay,

131
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.440
I understand that our guest is here, so at this

132
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.120
point in time, I want to introduce doctor Michael dimm

133
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.279
and I'm glad you finally made it. How you doing,

134
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.559
I don't know, can you hear me? I don't know

135
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:43.320
that we have audio or you have a picture, but no, okay,

136
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.879
I see a movement. Okay, evidently we have a bad

137
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.399
signal to start with. Hopefully he'll be on here in

138
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:55.320
a few seconds. We can get through these technical aspects

139
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.600
of it, because I know there were several topics when

140
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.360
I talk to him that he wanted to get into

141
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.840
in depth. But the high cost of animal care is

142
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.480
becoming crazy. And of course, as I mentioned my dedication

143
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.120
to animal health and reforming, it involves not only the

144
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.159
veterinary care, but other things like grooming care as well.

145
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.879
You know, if we don't feed our animals a species

146
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:26.360
appropriate diet, we end up with skin problems, everything from

147
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.879
just dry skin and itching and scratching to a bad coat,

148
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.879
a bad coat texture and feel. The use that of

149
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.080
harsh grooming items can add to it. And again this

150
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:49.279
increases the overall cost. And as I've mentioned in previous shows,

151
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.840
you know, if you're doing an adoption, if you're doing

152
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.039
a rescue, if you're even just seeking out a puppy

153
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.639
or even a kitten for your own pat understand that

154
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.919
you need to work the cost of that animal into

155
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.720
your budget. Which I'm saying, if you look at ressuing

156
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.799
a large dog, do you have the resources to be

157
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:17.159
able to feed that dog a species appropriate diet? It's

158
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.279
not the cheapest stuff. Does the animal already have pre

159
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.759
existing conditions that you're going to have to try to

160
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.639
rectify or manage? There's an expense there. If it's a

161
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.759
long haired breed, you have to factor in that regular

162
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.960
grooming bill. If you travel a lot, what about boarding?

163
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.600
What about care while you're away that sitters things of

164
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.639
that nature. And then when you look at that are

165
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:47.639
special foods required by these facilities. If let's say, if

166
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.759
you're feeding a raw diet, do they allow that food

167
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.279
to be fed in that facility? Many of them don't.

168
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.080
Many of them will not raw feed their philosophy. Many

169
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:02.799
of them require more altitudes of vaccine. If you're a

170
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:09.159
minimal vaxer, that can be an added expense to the

171
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.039
whole thing. And of course, on the other side of that,

172
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.279
you're boarding the animals, so that facility is now looking

173
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.960
at the care and if something is wrong, if there

174
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.039
is an adverse event, if there is a problem with

175
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.960
any of this, you could be hit with a very

176
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:32.240
very large bill, and not only that, a treatment plan

177
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.559
that is counter to what you do, especially if you're

178
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.279
on a more holistic path, a more natural pathic path.

179
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.360
I've seen animals that, with six months or a year's

180
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.120
worth of therapy to get them in basically a very

181
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:53.000
very healthy state, be completely undone. With one visit to

182
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:57.879
an emergency clinic for something as simple as diarrhea or

183
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:02.679
vomiting or a combination. There the owner's panic. They're sold

184
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.840
a basically a fear package that if you don't do this, this,

185
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.879
and this, the animal may die and thousands of dollars

186
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:17.759
later and receiving a sicker beet back are very much

187
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.879
a reality. So making sure that you budget in that

188
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.759
expense for those they have the animal on a good,

189
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.720
healthy plane to start with is crucial. I saw a

190
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.440
video at a friend of mine sent me yesterday to

191
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.720
kind of illustrates how we have to be very very

192
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.120
careful even in the breedge we pick, and the audio

193
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.720
that he put with at was there was a picture

194
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:49.279
of several border colligues in the country basically going out

195
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.799
to bring back the sheep. Now, if you've ever seen

196
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.240
one of these, they're given a command and these dogs

197
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.840
literally fly, I mean they just start running out right,

198
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.279
are working that field back and forth. They never stop.

199
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:10.080
It's like a bundle of kinetic energy in a free body.

200
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.440
They never stopped. They never stopped. They know the commands,

201
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.480
they know what to do. Their focus is crystal clear

202
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.720
what they're born to move. How well do you think

203
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:26.039
that animal will do in an apartment with a person

204
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.159
that works twelve hours, eight hours a day and gets

205
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.679
walked on the end of a leash two or three

206
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.639
times a day or night. It's not going to burn

207
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.200
off that energy. It's not going to be happy, it's

208
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.279
not going to be doing the job that it was

209
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.080
bred to do. So that's a major portion of what

210
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.720
we have to consider. And this is why I said

211
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:54.279
the future of animal health is going to ever be changing. Now,

212
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.519
do we have doctor dim again? If so, let's see

213
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.879
what we can do this time. How are you doing, Doc?

214
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:00.679
All right?

215
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.519
I don't know how good the reception is, but how

216
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.639
you doing well?

217
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.399
It's better than it was on your first attempt, so

218
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.360
let me put it that way.

219
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.519
Yeah, yeah, well I know I'm trying to find a place.

220
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:13.080
Yeah, we got a minute before the first break here.

221
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.480
So I was just talking about the major thing. I

222
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.200
don't know if you heard any of it or not,

223
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.440
but talking about as we move forward in the future,

224
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.960
about the cost of veterinary care going up up up.

225
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:25.720
Uh.

226
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.720
You know, the you know, picking breeds, whether it be

227
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.039
a rescue, whether it be a you know, buying a

228
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:39.480
puppy or a kitten that meets the lifestyle and your

229
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.120
economic status, because you're going to be faced with you know,

230
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.919
if you go a more holistic route. Obviously. You know,

231
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:48.799
if you're getting big dogs, you're going to have to

232
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:53.200
feed a lot of meat, which is not cheap, you know,

233
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.600
and other breeds. You know, if they've got any kind

234
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.240
of pre existing problems, if there are some of the

235
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.320
breeds that are genetic res, you might have other veterinary

236
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.600
expenses that you're going to have to be dealing with.

237
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.960
So the expense is going to be one of the

238
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.399
first things. And when we come back, I want to

239
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.559
talk about some of the things that that money is

240
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.480
going to be spent time. We'll be right back after

241
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.120

you know, we invite you to share, like, and subscribe

279
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.119
to these podcasts as we want to take out this

280
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.000
information to as many people as we can, both the

281
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.519
pet parents and the pets themselves. Chatroom is open, so

282
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.279
if you've got comments or questions, we'd be glad to

283
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.880
address them. So you're obviously out in the road.

284
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:13.640
At a Yeah, I'm at a homeopathy meeting in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah,

285
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.039
that's the one I go to periodically. It's actually since

286
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.920
twenty three years they've been having this meeting here, so

287
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.880
I've been to many of them over the years. Haven't

288
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.279
been in a few years, but you know, made the

289
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.279
trip this time and that's always great to bather with

290
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:31.640
other like minded colleagues and here's some good lectures and

291
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.960
hopefully it's some new information.

292
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.079
Well, how can you get new information. Homeopathy has been

293
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.640
around for centuries, hasn't it.

294
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.839
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, you know, just different ways

295
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:49.160
of analyzing cases and different remedy perspectives, so you know,

296
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.119
there's always new knowledge and exp clinical experience, so that

297
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.200
right is often you know what's added to the presentations.

298
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.960
Yeah. Well, as I alluded to when we went to

299
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.039
the break, of course, looking at the you know, what's

300
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.720
the high vet bills that people that ped owners are

301
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.000
going to be looking at in the very near future.

302
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.000
Actually many of them are looking at them today. And

303
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.680
one of the things that you brought up in our

304
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:19.200
telephone conversation before this, of course, is the overdiagnosis of

305
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:24.240
the use of diagnostics actually on our paths, and I

306
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.920
mean the number of tests that are being run. I

307
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.480
gave an experience that we just recently had where uh

308
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:35.799
dog vomiting diarrhea and appeared to be in pain. My

309
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.880
first thought was the dog was poisoned. The diagnosis included

310
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.720
nothing concerning poisoning at all. First they diagnosed at the

311
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.920
generative disc disease. Uh, then it was we don't know

312
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.799
that it's not what it was. Went through of course,

313
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.880
all the different blood works, multiple multiple times, several different vets,

314
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:02.720
X rays showed nothing, CASKID and showed nothing, MRI showed nothing,

315
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.799
and in less than a month's time the dog was dead.

316
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.720
Oh wow.

317
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.720
And the number of drugs that were prescribed was just

318
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:14.440
I mean, and I made myself a note here. If

319
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.799
you haven't diagnosed anything, how do you prescribe drugs?

320
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.200
That's exactly right. So yeah, the whole tenetive conventional allopathic

321
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.680
medicine is to run tests and make a diagnosis. And

322
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:32.279
you know, from a homeopathic perspective, holistically speaking, the diagnosis

323
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.400
is erroneous. It's actually and I don't know, obviously, you

324
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.079
have your perspective on what the symptoms represent, which often

325
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:45.279
is toxicity and something environmental. But you know, homeopathically we

326
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.160
look at the symptoms in a similar way. But as

327
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:53.039
you know, just the body's expression of imbalance, and we

328
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:58.240
don't need a diagnosis to prescribe individualized remedies to address

329
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.079
that symptom totality picture. So the choice of the remedy

330
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.400
to bring the body back into homeostasis or balance is actually,

331
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.880
you know, not based on any diagnosis. In fact, the

332
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.720
diagnosis or the pathology relevant, whether you're talking about dis

333
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.440
disease cancer, and people say, well, well, how do you

334
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.079
how do you treat cases that are that you don't

335
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.279
have that you know, don't you need that information? And

336
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.119
it's not. We just we look at the individual expressions

337
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:28.000
of that patient's symptoms and sounds like this one had

338
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:31.640
some strong symptoms, and we match your remedy to those

339
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.519
symptoms to bring again the body back into balance, or

340
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.559
a series of remedies over days to weeks, you know.

341
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:44.480
So again the diagnosis is really irrelevant homeopathically speaking. You know.

342
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.359
The interesting thing and of course one of the reasons

343
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:50.039
why I jumped it came to the conclusion that I did,

344
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:52.799
is it came on very very acutely. I mean, it

345
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.200
was like overnight and the animal, we know, had gotten

346
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.359
into some trash, but it was on a raw diet.

347
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.519
And of course the first diagnosis was obviously the raw

348
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:09.680
diet caused it, all right, But that I mean, if

349
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.920
the symptoms continued, you know, for almost a month with

350
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.759
all this treatment and everything else, and of course they

351
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:20.720
weren't feeding raw after that point, doesn't that to spell

352
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.480
that initial response.

353
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.960
Absolutely yeah, because you know, if it was from the

354
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.480
diet it, you know, it would have came and went.

355
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:32.680
It wouldn't have lingered like that, you know, it sounds

356
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.079
to me. I mean, that would have been a great

357
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.720
case to treatment with homeopathy if it was a poisoning

358
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:41.640
or toxicity. Sometimes something as simple as an appropriately prescribed

359
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.480
remedy based upon that symptom picture would have treated that

360
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.720
dog right then and there and brought it and brought

361
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.519
them back to health.

362
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.640
Yeah. Well that again, that goes back to the high

363
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.640
vet builds. I mean, they're they're just doing their there

364
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.319
and again you made this the overdiag not the overuse

365
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.440
of diagnosis. What kinds of things are you seeing for

366
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.920
in the next couple of years that the conventional allopathic

367
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:07.640
model is going to be doing well.

368
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.640
I mean it's even now, it's well the wave of

369
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.880
the future. It's just you know, going from one specialist

370
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:17.359
to the next. If let's say, like you said, they

371
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.880
diagnosed disk disease, but you know, obviously the symptoms you're

372
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:24.839
describing don't even match you know, pathology of the of

373
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.799
the spinal cord, you know, so it's like why why

374
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.039
go down that path? But you know, but there's increasing

375
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.279
you know, animals now or being you know, there are

376
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.759
running increasing numbers of blood tests and infectious organisms that

377
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.640
aren't even relevant. And then if that's not finding out

378
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.559
the problem, then we're going to ultrasounds and see T

379
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.279
scans and MRIs and you know, it just keeps going

380
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.200
and going, and those tests are thousands and thousands of

381
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.920
dollars billing. So you know, your dog, let's say that

382
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.359
comes in with you know, they say it has neurologic symptoms.

383
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.480
They're not just going home with the premi zone anymore.

384
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.359
They're being referred to neurologists for thousands of dollars in workups.

385
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.640
And then they end up on the same medications anyway,

386
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:14.359
whether it's you know, seizure medications. If it's a seizureing animal,

387
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.119
you know, they get worked up and you know, and

388
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:19.920
very often you know, they're looking for some odd thing

389
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.440
in the nervous system. And most of the time we

390
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:27.000
diagnose epilepsy, which is seizures of unknown origin. And you know,

391
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.400
again they go on the same group of anti convulsion

392
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.119
medications to you know, to suppress the symptoms if they're able.

393
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.519
And but you know, you really don't need to do

394
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.880
all this testing. It's just it doesn't lead anywhere as

395
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.720
you as you brought out with this other this other case.

396
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.400
