6
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.119
where your Pet has a Voice. And here's your host,
7
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:42.439
Bill the Pet Health Guru, and.
8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.439
Welcome to the Pet Health Cafe to show where your
9
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.520
pet has a Voice. This is Bill the Pet Health
10
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.960
Guru and bringing you one of our last two shows
11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.079
of the year. I mean, I can't really believe it.
12
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.200
The years gone by so fast. It's been just crazy.
13
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.079
You know. We've been fortunate that this is our last
14
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.280
live show. We will have one more, of course on
15
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.640
Christmas Day, which is a pre record. We'll have also,
16
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.280
you know, a pre record on New Year's Day, and
17
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.519
then we'll be back, of course after the first of
18
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.159
the year with a great new series, a whole new
19
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.040
approach to new people. And I'm looking forward to it.
20
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.319
I figure if I'm going to do a live show
21
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.719
and with comments. By the way, the chat room will
22
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.640
be open and I want you to share and subscribe
23
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.439
and like I'll do something a little bit controversial. If
24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.799
you will store things up. I want you to, you know,
25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.319
be thinking about your pet's health and your health over
26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.000
the holidays. You know, tendency to get into a little
27
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.200
bit of trouble sometimes with the way we eat and
28
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.239
drink and stress levels and all of that sort of thing. So,
29
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.840
and like I say, I just wanted to make it
30
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.400
a little bit more fun again. The chat room is open.
31
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.359
Give me your questions. I'll be happy to answer them.
32
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.319
I think it's a fun topic to talk about because
33
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.319
I talk about it every week week in the store,
34
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.959
because it's a passion of mine. It's a thing I
35
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.080
know a lot about because growing up in the industry
36
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.319
and starting out when there wasn't really a major problem
37
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.080
with the topic, and seeing what the government and industry
38
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.680
has done, it's just a crazy, crazy winding road. And
39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.919
with that being said, we're going to talk a little
40
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.120
bit about the interest in raw milk, raw dairy. What
41
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.560
is going on at my sponsor, but my Paleo pet
42
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.639
and as a producer on Biocomplete natural diets, we've been
43
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.639
doing raw dairy in the industry, in the animal industry,
44
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.439
and of course a lot of what's bought for animal
45
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:50.120
consumption is being consumed by people, And there's a lot
46
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:57.759
of manipulation, a lot of misinformation to protect certain interests,
47
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.439
if you will, a lot of money paid off fees. Hey,
48
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.439
that's what we do in this country. But it's not
49
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.439
always for our benefit most of the time, and for
50
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.520
the benefit of big corporations. Now, what's the difference between
51
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.560
raw dairy raw milk, if you will, and milk you
52
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.159
buying a supermarket? Well, want you buy in a supermarket
53
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.400
is supposedly treated in such a way that it's safer
54
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.520
for human consumption. Now, I find it awfully interesting that
55
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.680
for thousands of years we drank what is known as
56
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.599
raw dairy, which is not put through any kind of
57
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:43.080
procedures or processes except for maybe filtering it, chilling it
58
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.560
and putting it into bottles, whereas pasteurized milk has got
59
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.080
to go through a whole bunch of different processes that
60
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.719
biologically changes the product, the nature of the product, of weathering,
61
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.919
the mineral content of the product. And we'll go over
62
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.560
a lot of that in this discussion. Now, why would
63
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.560
we have to take a natural product and sterilize it? Well,
64
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.719
I got to go back a little bit in history.
65
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:17.120
Back in the old days before refrigeration, basically almost every
66
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.680
farm and a lot of households, even in what we
67
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.519
would consider to be cities today, and what weren't even
68
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.360
existing were the suburb But that was the beginning of those.
69
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.839
The suburbs were, you know, individual homes on the edges
70
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.199
of farmland where the farm hands and factory workers would live.
71
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.160
There would be a cow, usually one, maybe two, but
72
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.040
there would be a cow, and they would milk every day,
73
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.680
and most of the consumption came from the family that
74
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.399
owned it. If there was an overabundance, they shared with
75
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.600
their neighbors and their friends. And we lived, We thrived,
76
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.959
We did well, no problem. As cities grew and grew
77
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.680
and grew, it became harder and harder to move the
78
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.800
milk around because you have to remember that most of
79
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.759
the milk that was consumed on any given day was
80
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.399
from that cow that day. It wasn't sitting around for
81
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.240
days and days and days. We had no refrigeration, and
82
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.959
so the consumption and then moving it through the system
83
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.000
was vital to be very very short term. As the
84
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.920
cities grew, though, the farms got pushed farther and farther away,
85
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.000
which meant that getting milk into the city, so called
86
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.839
cities at that point in time, the bigger towns became
87
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.399
problematic because it milk your cow in the morning, we'd
88
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.319
have to go on to a wagon most likely back
89
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:47.319
then be taken into the city to some sort of depot,
90
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.920
whether it be a store, pickup point, whatever, and it
91
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.600
was not chilled, so it was it could be as
92
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.040
much as a day old. Well, if you've had raw milk,
93
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:03.800
the milk will change flavor over over time, not necessarily
94
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.639
good or bad, but it will change. And without the refrigeration,
95
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.680
we started to have problems in the delivery system, not
96
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.000
in the quality of the milk, not in the fact
97
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.720
that it was a pathogenic issue, but because of handling.
98
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.680
And so now we had to come up with a
99
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.160
system where we could get milk into the inner city,
100
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.040
you know where the people. It was, the population, they
101
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.839
wanted it so and a different industry took a favorable
102
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.120
view of this, and this was this stillery business. The
103
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.639
people that were making the booze, the liquors, the whiskey,
104
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.399
the beer. Those were the big first industries in a
105
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.000
lot of city. Yes, there was some manufacturing done for
106
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:56.319
key things like wagons and eventually automobiles, steel production, blacksmiths,
107
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.519
things of this nature. But they still wanted milk because
108
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.519
that was a nutrient to the population. Well, not only
109
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.480
did we have a problem getting the milk into the
110
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.480
cities in a timely fashion, but we had a problem
111
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.800
with the distilleries because they use a lot of grain,
112
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.519
and of course with the distillation process, the whole processing
113
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.199
and everything else, they had a whole ton of waste
114
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.680
products which were called distillery grains, and it was what
115
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.680
was left over after the fermentation. It was fairly toxic.
116
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.399
Humans could need it. It was toxic to humans basically,
117
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.959
but it seemed that ruminants cows were stomached animals because
118
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.240
it was a fermented product, didn't have as much of
119
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:49.319
an issue and could actually live off of these brewers grain. Now,
120
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.000
they weren't very healthy, would with that all of the
121
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.959
eight because they weren't eating any grass forage, which is
122
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.879
what cows are designed to do. But anyway, it was
123
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:03.040
an easy way. Instead of taking wagons out to the
124
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.519
countryside the dump this grain fermented product, we could just
125
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.399
we could feed it to our dairy cattle. So the
126
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:17.480
breweries and the distilleries started setting up basically so called
127
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.800
farms in huge warehouses adjacent to the distillery. Now there
128
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.040
was one problem with this when it comes to livestock,
129
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:29.480
actually several problems. One was, of course, there was no sunlight.
130
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.639
They were under roof pretty much twenty four to seven,
131
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.039
although even a lot of the rules were never put on,
132
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.159
and the cattle were subject to the weather. But in
133
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.639
a very very confined, confined space. There was no pasture
134
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.799
for them to walk out on, no ground for them
135
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.240
to walk out on. They were literally caged or tied
136
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.159
to a stanchion, which is a device that holds them
137
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.639
in place twenty four to seven. And of course what
138
00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:00.519
the breweries did was actually run conveyors into these so
139
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:06.919
called barns and deposit the grain products in front of
140
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.080
the cows for them to eat well, because that's all
141
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.519
they were basically getting, maybe a little brought in hay occasionally,
142
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.919
but this is what they were eating. They were not healthy,
143
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.879
they were sickly, so that created a problem with the
144
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.360
quality of the milk. The other thing is they were
145
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:28.320
sitting and standing in tons and tons of manure. Well,
146
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.919
when that manure starts to ferment and ferments through bacteria,
147
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:39.159
as does the brewers and the distillery grain products. Now
148
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.279
we have on the second issue. We had the truck
149
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.399
obviously the manure out, but now we have healthy cattle,
150
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.360
and reports are that a lot of these cattle as
151
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.480
they declined in age would literally be tied to the rafters.
152
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.960
They tie them up so that they could stand up
153
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.039
because they couldn't even stand they were that week, and
154
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.960
they would milk them until they died and then just
155
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.960
replace it. Obviously, sanitation was not the issue feeding them
156
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:10.440
as a diet of only this brewer grain product did
157
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.080
not produce a quality milk that was coming from the
158
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:17.480
farms raised on grass, sunshine, a variety of different meals.
159
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.799
Meat was or the milk was clean, you know. Dairy
160
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.919
started to grow in size as refrigeration came in and
161
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.399
we could eliminate some of the problems inside the city.
162
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.039
But now it was a very competitive place because these
163
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.720
distilleries were selling cheap milk. They had to use it,
164
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.440
they had to get rid of it cheap, and because
165
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:44.360
it was very poor quality, the milk sometimes would be
166
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.200
tainted with different colors brownish color, you know, very cloudy,
167
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.480
very smelly, that sort of thing, and of course being
168
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.440
in a distillery industry, we knew how to change flavors,
169
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.679
how to make things taste better and disguise things. Now
170
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.039
that tainted milk in the inner cities run the distilleries
171
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.480
would have things like flavors, molasses, sugars added to it.
172
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.559
They would add color additives, including white paint to the milk.
173
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.600
Of course, because of the poor quality, you had no butterfat,
174
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.960
so there was a very thin, watery substance, if you will,
175
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.240
and so we had to thicken it. So we did
176
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:32.480
other types of waste products to thicken it up, different starches,
177
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:37.200
and of course, all of a sudden, kids started getting sick,
178
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.279
usually within months, weeks or months of being weaned, and
179
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.039
some of them would die. So there was a lot
180
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.799
of outrage about what we have to do to clean
181
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.080
this source up. People, I mean, the farms that were
182
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.879
doing a good job had to charge of premium price.
183
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.440
They were competing against giveaway milk, basically in the dairy industry.
184
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.080
So the government jumped in with subsidies and started helping
185
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.320
out the distilleries, not the legitimate farmers to start with.
186
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.279
So in order to get rid of that bacteria, they
187
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.879
came up with a process called pasteurization. Let's kill off
188
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.840
the bacteria in the bad milk. But then they included
189
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.320
the good milk as well, which was not causing the problem.
190
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.919
That destroyed a lot of the nutritional benefits of that.
191
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.279
And when you destroy it, I mean, I want you,
192
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.799
as you knows, a pedner and a consumer, to stop
193
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:37.320
and think about all mammals. Allmals, the first meal of
194
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.679
their life that get them started in a proper life
195
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.279
cycle is raw milk. Whether it's human, whether it's cow,
196
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.720
whether it's sheep, whether it's goats, camels. All mammals, squirrels,
197
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:57.000
rabbits produce natural milk. You get life started. Without that,
198
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.159
life does not start on any kind of scale. So
199
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.240
now we have a conflict going on. The governmental had
200
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.639
stepped in. We got that, we entered into agencies like
201
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:12.120
the CDC and the FDA that excuse me that basically
202
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.840
the system was trying to make it safe for them.
203
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.039
But when that all started to the brewery started their
204
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.759
own lobbying campaign, their own media campaigns, taking out pictures
205
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:31.279
and articles in major newspapers about the quality of you know,
206
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.200
bringing in milk from the countryside. It's not healthy, buy
207
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.279
your milk locally, and that theirs was really the true
208
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:43.320
raw melk, and it was farmers were being killed, literally
209
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.960
killed trying to sell their product in the cities. So
210
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:52.600
it was very, very nasty obviously, and so the FDA
211
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:58.080
or its predecessor basically that, okay, this is a state's
212
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.240
rights situation because we only have the problem really in
213
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:07.480
the big cities like New York and Philadelphia, Boston, you know,
214
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.720
on the East Coast. It was an East Coast problem
215
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.399
basically because every place else that you still have small farms,
216
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.360
there were no large cities. So we had to go
217
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.919
through and start doing this. We couldn't pick on just
218
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.679
New York City. We had to involved you know, the
219
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.360
Rochester area of New York and you know, the Finger
220
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.279
Lakes and that sort of thing where there were no problems,
221
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.960
and so we had to set up all these processing plants.
222
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:37.080
I remember as a kid where our farm was. Our
223
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.399
neighbors all sold to a co op and it was
224
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.600
one small dairy. I mean it was probably the size
225
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.720
of a I don't know, a small retail store, you know,
226
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.320
two thousand square feet three thousand square feet where they
227
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.639
did everything and it was just a simple process then
228
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.759
of low heat pasturization to kill off bacteria, things like
229
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.240
listeria and he cale, salmonella, and okay, we were kind
230
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.759
of okay with that for a while. But then the
231
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.080
dairy industry, which of course was still a lot involved
232
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.399
with distilleries, decided that they we have to keep this
233
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.240
stuff profitable. So when we were getting rid of these
234
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.240
these farm so called farms in the inner city, because
235
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.080
obviously the smell from all there and all of that
236
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.200
sort of stuff trucking it up and down the streets
237
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:31.360
was an issue. So in order to make milk more profitable,
238
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.559
dairies found out that they could actually sell the cream portion,
239
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.480
which is normally about twenty five to thirty percent of
