And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru.
8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.200
And welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, to the show
9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.679
where your Pet Has a Voice.
10
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.079
This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, and.
11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.079
I want to thank you for tuning in tonight. As always,
12
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.479
we start to show off with asking you to share
13
00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:00.520
it and to like it and to subscribe, and you know,
14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.159
we just want to get this message out as fast
15
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.239
as we can and to as many people as we can.
16
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.920
We're looking at some of the numbers. The show is
17
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.319
growing very very quickly, which is a good thing because
18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.959
we're getting more and more questions being asked. The chat
19
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.120
room is open tonight, so we'll be able to answer
20
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.159
hopefully some of the questions that you may have. I've
21
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.400
got a ton of stuff that I want to discuss tonight.
22
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.879
The main topic of course that we had posted that
23
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.400
sword thing is the necessity. And yes, it's the necessity
24
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.079
of a rotational diet. And this isn't only true for
25
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.519
our animals, but also for ourselves. And lets say thank
26
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:43.840
you for.
27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.760
Tuning in and to start it out. You know, when we.
28
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.480
Talk about rotational about rotational diets, we're looking at feeding
29
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:58.120
different or eating different foods on individual meals, individual days,
30
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.280
so that we're getting a bit basically a plesor of
31
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.400
different foods, all of which are going to hopefully bring
32
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.159
different nutrients to the table. Now, when we look at
33
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.319
our food, our food should be good, clean and healthy,
34
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.280
which means that any plant materials, fruits or vegetables should
35
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.960
be coming off of good, healthy plants that have been
36
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:30.560
hopefully organically raised, no pesticides, no herbicides, no synthetic fertilizers,
37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.759
although I know a lot of this is very difficult
38
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.120
to come by today. And of course, if we're looking
39
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.800
on the animal side, the meat side, that these animals
40
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.680
are also fed the same clean forage and fruits and
41
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.280
vegetables that they need, so that we're starting out with
42
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.120
a clean diet. And with that being said, the rotation
43
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.280
is so important because every single food brings different nutrients
44
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.319
to the table, and we have to look get it
45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.400
that way. Various products and that sort of thing are
46
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.879
they all carry different nutrient levels when I don't get
47
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.960
a for instance, when I look at beef and I
48
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.680
look at this basically the main steak package, if you will,
49
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.960
that's on the on cattaly itself, and you've got your
50
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.400
rabbi and you've got your ten beef tenderloine, and you've
51
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.560
got your New York strip, all basically in one cluster.
52
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.759
But the muscles do different things. So in order to
53
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:37.439
do different things, they have to have different nutrients. That's
54
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.479
why each one of those steaks will have a different flavor,
55
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.159
a different fat content, and a different muscular structure. So
56
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.360
we're starting out just there. But let's say if we
57
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.840
give it just a steak diet, if you will, you
58
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.000
need to have variety because it's going to bring in
59
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.080
different nutrients.
60
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.879
And the nutrients are very very important.
61
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.159
One of the things that we've looked at, and I've
62
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.120
looked at very very deeply, and I've been doing this
63
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.680
for over fifty years, that there's been a lot of
64
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.600
development and so called scientific diets, functional foods that are
65
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:21.560
supposed to be you know, the saving grace if you will,
66
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.959
for the veterinary community as far as nutrition is concerned,
67
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.680
although they study nutrition, so it's kind of a you know,
68
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.480
an interesting concept there, and of course you know they
69
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.319
sometimes profess that Okay, we're using we're doing a ton
70
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.759
of research into the nutrient levels and making basically foods
71
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.560
better for your pat Well, it's not quite the way
72
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.480
it works, because again, if you're looking at a single food,
73
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.519
here's what really happens when we're doing a single food
74
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.240
like they are pushing out there. First off, you've got
75
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.920
the same nutrients every single day. You've got the same
76
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.839
foods every single day. They're being digested in different ways,
77
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.560
and the body is dynamic, it's always changing. So if
78
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.480
I feed it the same thing every single day over
79
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.120
a period of time, we're actually going to create toxicities
80
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.839
which shows up as allergies to that food, and we're
81
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.240
going to end up with deficiencies, which lowers the immune
82
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.439
system of course, and.
83
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.600
You know, creates.
84
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:33.279
An animal that is more susceptible to health issues, parasites,
85
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.000
different diseases and melodies. So the premise by itself is
86
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.399
out of bounds. You will, it's not what's going to
87
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.160
be optimal for that animal. And of course, if you're
88
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:52.160
looking for specific nutrients scientifically, you know you could make
89
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.439
so many of these things in the laboratory, but that
90
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.160
does not mean that they are usable by the body.
91
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.040
The body is this to digest and utilize what it recognizes,
92
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.959
and it recognizes what is in nature. That's the innate
93
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:15.519
part of the being of being an animal. It stresses
94
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.279
me out when I hear about animals being put on
95
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.120
a single food over time. I know that they're going
96
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.319
to have all kinds of health challenges. I know that
97
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.079
they're going to have all kinds of problems, and usually
98
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.480
by the time they show up. It makes it a
99
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.000
monumental task.
100
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.759
To try to fix these poor pats. They've been suffering,
101
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.800
but we don't know it.
102
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.720
When we feed them in an incompatible type food that's
103
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.040
not species appropriate, it creates stress on the body. The
104
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.480
digestive system is trying to do things that it's not
105
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.879
supposed to do. They're trying to extract nutrients that aren't
106
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.319
there or there in the wrong form, and.
107
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.319
Just has to work so much harder.
108
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.040
A good example of that even in the human diet
109
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:03.120
and a lot of vegetarian vegan types rely on flax
110
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.560
seed for their omegas, their omega threes and nine. Well,
111
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.319
the fact of the matter is flax seed doesn't have it.
112
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.639
It's in omega six. And basically what has to happen
113
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.000
is a body tries to reconfigure that molecule through biochemical
114
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.279
action to make a little bit of the threes and
115
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.759
nine that their body actually needs. In doing so, it's
116
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.120
stressing it because we're utilizing nutrition that should be going
117
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:35.279
to other body parts to do unnatural digestive issues. So,
118
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:37.959
you know, we have to you know, we have to
119
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.439
take that into consideration when we're looking at foods for
120
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.319
our animals. We want to do that diversity. We want
121
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.639
to do those rotations.
122
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:46.759
You know.
123
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.920
Even my own birds, for instance, I give them a
124
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.360
pluster of different seeds, and depending on the season and
125
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.439
depending on the weather, sometimes there'll be more adapt to
126
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.920
go after one type of seed than another. Sometimes they
127
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.240
want greens, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they want to eat
128
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.480
a little bit of fruits. Quite often they don't. So
129
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.040
it's going to vary because the body, when it's clean
130
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.000
and being fat as species appropriate diet, it's going to
131
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.759
work strictly off of what it needs, and those are
132
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.439
expressed through cravings. So when I'm looking at a carnivore
133
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.839
diet of meat diet, and let's say I put down
134
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.120
chicken today, okay, number one, I have to look at
135
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.319
what's in that chicken diet?
136
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:28.879
You know?
137
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.879
Is it just chicken meat? Is it chicken meat with bones?
138
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.039
Is it muscle meat like leg quarters or something of
139
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.679
that nature. Does it contain hearts and liver, lizzards, maybe
140
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:48.000
some breast meat, wings, even necks and heads. These are
141
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.200
all different body parts that they will be eating in
142
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:55.799
the wild, and that diversity in nutrition is very very important.
143
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.399
So I put down the chicken today and they scarf
144
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.360
it right up, you know, they just dive right do it.
145
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.799
And I give it to them tomorrow and they're very
146
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.360
happy to get it, and they give it to them
147
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.360
again on the third day and they walk away.
148
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:07.559
Why is that?
149
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.159
Because they need different nutrients now, they need different foods,
150
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.919
and they're telling you by walking away that this isn't
151
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.399
what I want today. Doesn't mean they don't like it.
152
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.519
That's a misconception that us humans put on it that
153
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.480
when we put something down they don't need it right away,
154
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.879
that they don't like it. It's not about liking. It's
155
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:29.120
about needing what they need the necessity of that rotational diet,
156
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.480
and so we start out with as many different combinations
157
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.519
basically as you can give. And of course even format
158
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.679
of food is sometimes important. You know, most raw foods
159
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.720
that are commercially done and biocomplete does very much the
160
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.080
same thing to a certain degree. They're mostly ground diets. However,
161
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.600
you do need diversity and things like raw bones, raw
162
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.399
meaty bones, and chunks of meat and things like that.
163
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.639
And part of the reason why those different different formats
164
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:06.480
are so important that, for instance, meaty bones provide a
165
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.919
chewing experience for the animal, and that chewing those bones
166
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.159
are going to be scraping those teeth and keeping them
167
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:17.039
clean chunks of meat because they're bigger and they can't
168
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.840
just grab and swallow, which is what they generally do
169
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.919
with ground diets, because they.
170
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.000
Have to chew it.
171
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.799
It's hitting in the back teeth and actually saturating those
172
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.480
with meat enzymes. And by the way, what keeps the
173
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.480
teeth tartar free in a carnivore are those meat enzymes.
174
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.039
They actually dissolve the tartar if there is any. Of course,
175
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.960
the carbohydrate load is very very low, so we're not
176
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.080
going to get the tartar on the teeth in the
177
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.519
first place, and so all.
178
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.600
The vento bills are gone.
179
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.320
Of course, when we're doing the meaty bones as well,
180
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.000
I mean, they can be fed in any format that
181
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.519
you want.
182
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.679
You can do them frozen, you can do them fresh.
183
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.399
I think the question was up there, which is the
184
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.000
best depends on the animal.
185
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.799
Some animals like it, you know, just you know, they
186
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.559
love they love to play around with a frozen bone
187
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.960
and then chew it right up. Other ones wanted room temperature.
188
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.159
Some of them will bury it underneath it, you know,
189
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.039
the place matter a carpet for a couple hours and
190
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.480
then go.
191
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:17.240
Back to it. You know.
192
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.919
Of course you got to worry about the fact that
193
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.840
you know it might be loaded with ants. Dog doesn't care,
194
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.759
you know, they bury them out in the yard. That's
195
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.799
what actually happens. But so those the different formats are
196
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:35.399
very very important as well. Now, when when I'm looking
197
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.360
at a lot of the things that was putting together
198
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.440
here is this is basically a very very different approach
199
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.320
to the way we feed our animals. Like you say,
200
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:49.360
in a in a conventional sense, supermarket foods, the commercial
201
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.360
dog foods of course, the veterinary foods. Basically, they're all
202
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.120
looking at not doing the rotation, and you know, when
203
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.279
we have things like the digestive upsets and gas rot
204
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.080
problems and stuff like that, they want to do an
205
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.080
elimination diet where they're feeding only one food, sometimes for
206
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.759
months on end, to make sure that there's no allergic reaction. Well,
207
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:14.879
the allergy, unfortunately, is basically a symptom of a toxic body.
208
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.440
If you look at detoxing and the symptoms that it
209
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.399
creates in the body, things like rashes, scratching, and itching,
210
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.440
hives can be something like chronic ear infections in a
211
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.440
dog or anal glam problems, all looking and chewing, those
212
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.000
symptoms are exactly the same as an allergy.
213
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.879
So when we get around.
214
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.360
The same toxins, and we also have to understand that
215
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.600
different foods will remove very specific toxins.
216
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.159
So when that's in there, when it's.
217
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.320
Going to a body, the body's are going to try
218
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.159
to get rid of those toxics. So we're going to
219
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.480
have these reactions. Are these reactions bad? No, unequivocally no,
220
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.600
we want these to happen. Yes, it's uncomfortable, you itch
221
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.879
and We as pet owners freak out when we see
222
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.919
this stuff because we've been trained, but basically, the body
223
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.519
is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. It's
224
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.480
healing itself. You know, we don't stay healthy from drugs.
225
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.960
We build an immune system through foods. And the more
226
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.600
variety of food that we give, the more nutrients we're
227
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.399
going to get, the more vitamins we're going to get,
228
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.360
the broader the gut biome is going to be, so
229
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.759
we're going to be able to digest a lot more things,
230
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.320
a lot more readily. And if bad stuff does go
231
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.080
into the body, the body is going to get rid
232
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:35.120
of it expressly.
233
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.360
It's going to get rid of it very very quickly.
234
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.039
Either through vomit or through loose schools or diarrhea.
235
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.759
These are all good things.
236
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.360
I know it's a pain a butt when you have
237
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.080
to clean them up, But if we didn't mess up
238
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.159
our pets in the first place, over many, many generations,
239
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.440
over the last fifty years or more, with commercial foods,
240
00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:02.480
and you know, multiple therapies for or various diseases that
241
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.840
we don't talk about on this show, flee and tick products,
242
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.519
heartworm products, you know, basically trying to be preventive. But
243
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.559
these are not preventatives. These are essentially causing more problems.
