00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.880
Health Cafe where your Pet has a Voice.
7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:44.280
And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru, and.
8
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.479
Welcome to the Pet House Cafe, the show where your
9
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.039
Pet has a Voice. This is Bill the Pet Health Guru,
10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.200
and you lined up another great show for you tonight.
11
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.960
This one you're going to need a probably some paper
12
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.000
and something to write with and take notes because we're
13
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.120
going to go into a topic that you may need
14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.680
notes on. First off, I want to tell you to
15
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.239
go ahead and share this with all the pet lovers
16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.799
and pet parents that you are aware of. This you
17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.599
know is going to be primarily for the pets, not
18
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.040
as much for people, which I sometimes incorporate quite a
19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.840
bit doo. But share it, like it, and of course
20
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.400
subscribe to you you never miss another episode. Go ahead
21
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.760
to comment. The chat is open for comments as well.
22
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.040
This is going to be a show that you're going
23
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.319
to want to share and keep in your archives if
24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.519
you're thinking about having a healthy pet, because I'm going
25
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.000
to give you all the steps that you need to
26
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:55.239
get there. With today's show, I am going to kind
27
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:01.000
of work in all the reasons why law diets are
28
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.719
so important to our pets and why anything else is
29
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.680
actually detrimental to their health, and will make it easy
30
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.120
for you to be able to prepare your own what
31
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.280
to look for if you're buying, and why it is
32
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:25.479
so so essential. The first thing I want to bring
33
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.719
out though, so that we understand each other, is most
34
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:35.680
people do not know how to eat healthy themselves. We
35
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:43.759
have been so brainwashed and so indoctrinated into the process
36
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.560
and ultra process food industry and of course along with
37
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.680
that the pharmaceutical industry to treat all the ailments when
38
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:58.199
we get sick because of these foods, that it's hard
39
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:03.159
for us to process anything. Be on that processed foods
40
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.120
are not healthy, and you have to ask yourself why
41
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:12.879
do these foods have to be processed? It main reason,
42
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.120
And as I was putting this together, I came up
43
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.360
with a couple of little couple of different things. But
44
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.000
processing of food of course goes back literally thousands of years.
45
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.879
Simple cooking is a process that generally speaking, in nature,
46
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.240
we're the only creature on the face of the earth
47
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.800
that cooks our food and destroys the nutrients. Every other
48
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:49.159
living creature consumes and thrives on raw food every day.
49
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.159
There's no problems with parasites, bacteria, pathogens, as we've been
50
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.759
told by authorities, the bodies are designed to if we're
51
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:09.639
eating us biologically species appropriate diet, how to handle these things.
52
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.879
Everything from cell nulla equal lot of different parasites. Our
53
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:23.439
body can handle those. Essentially, it's only when our body,
54
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.240
in our immune system is suppressed because we are not
55
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:32.199
eating that appropriate diet, that we become ill and are
56
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:41.879
faced with what we call disease. Diseases are primarily in nature,
57
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.639
just an event we get so called sick, vomit or diarrhea.
58
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.800
That is not illness. That is housekeeping. It's getting rid
59
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.319
of bad stuff that's already in the body. But yet
60
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.079
we've been taught to that is being sick, and we
61
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.240
have to have some sort of medication for that. I
62
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.920
know you're asking yourself, what does this have to do
63
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:18.040
with putting together a raw diet. Well, everybody's concerned about safety,
64
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.480
the body can handle this stuff as long as it
65
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.959
is healthy and the immune system is strong, and that's
66
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.279
what we try to do when we're eating a biologically
67
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.800
appropriate diet. Just a couple of other little things are
68
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.879
in the processing. Many of us are not aware. Why
69
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.199
do we cook our food Well, because a lot of
70
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:47.519
things that are labeled as food we cannot ingest, process
71
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.480
and digest in a raw form. For instance, you cannot
72
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.480
take a spoonful of raw oats or wheat and just
73
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.759
chew them up and swallow them and have any nutritional benefit.
74
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.000
In fact, your body will reject it like it does
75
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.279
most other poisonous products. Yeah, you heard me right, We
76
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:16.759
eat oats, raw corn, all these things when it's in
77
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.879
a mature state, is essentially a poison and that's how
78
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.199
our body treats it. That's why it's also always has
79
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:30.120
to be a process with grinding or cracking or physically
80
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.839
changing it and then cooking it after that. For instance,
81
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.879
you can't even eat process oats in the form of
82
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:42.360
oatmeal unless you cook it. And so we've gone through
83
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.720
several different processes just to be able to ingest it,
84
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:52.399
let alone try to get any benefit from it. Things
85
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.079
like grains as I just mentioned, are one of those
86
00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:06.160
green green vegetables. Okay, chlorophyll based foods. Most plants those
87
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.839
cell walls. Chlorophyll is contained inside of a cell that
88
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.720
has walls, and those walls are very, very tough for
89
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:20.160
our body to digest. That's why you can't take a
90
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.040
handful of grass, for instance, which is a natural product,
91
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.759
and just munch on it. Your body won't let you. Again,
92
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.240
it's not going to get any benefit. The body says,
93
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.319
don't do it to me. Now, when it comes to
94
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.319
modern day vegetables, of course, probably seventy five percent of
95
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.240
the vegetables that we consume today, and probably fifty percent
96
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:49.360
of the fruits have been altered by planned breeding. And
97
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.000
of course one of the things that they breed plants
98
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.800
for are thicker cell walls. You might ask why, because
99
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.199
I need to be able to ship that product halfway
100
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.879
around the world to a marketplace that will buy it.
101
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.639
I have it, have it arrived in a saleable state,
102
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:17.800
mean unbruised, undamaged. So these cell walls are now much
103
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.800
thicker than they were on the original plants, much more
104
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.319
difficult to digest, and hence your body has got to
105
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:33.360
work over time to try to break them down. This
106
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.759
means that most of these foods are not the healthiest
107
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.519
thing that we should be eating, and when it comes
108
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.919
to our carnivore paths, it's even worse. A lot of
109
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.039
this has to do with government, as we all know,
110
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.679
they dictate what plants and what types of crops should
111
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.919
be planted, and what they subsidize, for instance, subsidizing corn
112
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:02.320
and soy and canola for seed oils which are very
113
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.360
very harmful to our bodies and to our pets body
114
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.519
and of course they're included in a lot of commercial
115
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:15.840
pet foods as well. That manipulation by the marketplace can
116
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:21.679
easily be dictated by the companies of course that are involved.
117
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.039
Just to give you an idea, you know, our government
118
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:30.320
here in the United States has got a program called SNAP,
119
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:36.759
which is basically for keeping our kids nourished, if you will,
120
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:42.120
through government subsidies and the form of you know, kind
121
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.519
of credit card type of thing, subsidies and that sort
122
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:49.000
of thing. But I bet you didn't realize that two companies,
123
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.519
Coca Cola and Pepsi, are the recipient of almost nine
124
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:03.039
billion dollars. It's nine BILLI with a B dollars coming
125
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:09.039
directly out of that snap benefit because it was a
126
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.159
lobby to add it on to it. Now, can anybody
127
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.840
out there tell me what beneficial advantage there is to
128
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:27.080
giving your kids a sugar diet, a sugar refreshment other
129
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.720
than taste and the addictive qualities. They keep on buying
130
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.399
more and more and more and more. There's no reason
131
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.039
for that. But if you have a little bit of
132
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.159
understanding what's going on in the food industry itself, and
133
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.440
so many of our foods are altered and tampered with
134
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.720
to make them more addictive, to make them taste better,
135
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.679
if you will, that is kind of the crux of it.
136
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.919
And that's what we also see on pet foods as well,
137
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.279
a lot of flavor, a lot of additives, a lot
138
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.679
of preservatives. When we take a look at and when
139
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.480
I talk with people that are involved in the commercial
140
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.879
pet food industry, especially those that are involved in the
141
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.720
therapeutic diets are so called prescription diets things of that nature,
142
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.879
they're always talking about look at the nutrients, don't look
143
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.320
at the ingredients. Well, I have a simple question for them,
144
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:34.840
if you will, if wolves and elephants and snakes and
145
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:42.879
lizards and lions. If the food that they are eating
146
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.120
in nature were not loaded with nutrients, how would they survive.
147
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.480
They want to think that we have to isolate and
148
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:57.960
then supplement these nutrients and an ingredients such as raw
149
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:02.879
meat or real meat in a food are not important
150
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.720
that that's not what we should be doing. So with
151
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.960
breaking that myth about nutrients versus ingredients, the ingredients are
152
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.159
just as important because the nutrients, because those ingredients that
153
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:25.039
we're using better contain the nutrients that we need. And
154
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.759
that takes me to the first part of this is
155
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.600
an ingredients in a raw diet. Number One, we have
156
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:37.360
to know our sources. We need clean food. We need
157
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.720
to know how those food animals And as for this
158
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:44.279
carnivore are being raised. Are they being raised on good
159
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:50.320
clean pastures? Are they pasture finished? If it's a if
160
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.440
it's any animal basically, but when we get into ruminants,
161
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.600
our cows, are sheep, our goats, deer, ad bison, things
162
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.600
of that nature, when they eat for it, that converts
163
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.000
in those ruminance bodies into omega threes and nines, which
164
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.960
are healthy. Which is why when I was a kid
165
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.000
back in the nineteen fifties and even into the sixties,
166
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:17.080
we did not have to worry about taking Omega three
167
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:22.480
supplements because it was already in the meat because almost
168
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.159
all the meat at that point in time was grass finished.
169
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.080
It was not fed a lot of grain, which causes
170
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:34.759
that conversion to Omega six inflammation. But somewhere around the
171
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.759
seventies the eighties, they decided would feed lots that it
172
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.240
was much more convenient to feed corn and soy that
173
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.279
gets processed in a body into Omega sixes. And now
174
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.320
people were having trouble digesting meat, especially beef. My parents,
175
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.559
my grandparents, my uncles. You still love steak, and now
176
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.639
all of a sudden, the candy steak it makes they
177
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.720
get sick on it. Well, of course they blamed it
178
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.600
on old age. No, it's not the same product. It's
179
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.879
a completely different product. And we see that every day
180
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.600
with over at Mypaleo pet because we handle a full
181
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:20.159
line of Florida products that are pasture raised, pasture finished,
182
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.200
and the following that we have with that. The people
183
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.759
can't believe the difference is just in the taste alone.
184
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.799
But it's not just in the tastes and the nutrients
185
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:32.080
that they're getting. They feel better, they're performing better, they
186
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.759
are healthier being as a result. So you need clean
187
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:43.360
sources of the food. The next part of that, of course,
188
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.679
is on any diet, whether it's for a human or
189
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:51.159
for your pet. And again totally lost in the commercial
190
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:55.320
pet food realm is we need rotational diets. You need
191
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.840
something different every day if possible, or at least on
192
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.519
rotational bases, no more than one or two days of
193
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.080
the same food. Why because every food brings different nutrients
194
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.240
to the table. You and I cannot sit there and
195
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.000
figure out what our own body needs today as far
196
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.720
as nutrients, let alone where our pet does. That's why
197
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.279
some days they'll eat certain things and other days they don't.
198
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.600
The reason that you eat certain things on one day
199
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.000
and not on another. If you're eating a clean diet,
200
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.480
you know that you work off cravings. If you're not
201
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.240
eating a clean diet, if you eat a lot of
202
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.679
junk food, those excito toxins that are added to the food,
203
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:38.720
the synthetic sugars, those are addictive. That's where you end
204
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.480
up going. It's back to that addictive state and your
205
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.000
health just declines. It's the same thing with your pet.
206
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.000
They become addicted, especially cats. Cats are very addictive animals
207
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:55.639
and the sugars and other excited toxins that they're using
208
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.840
cat food makes them much much tougher to switch over.
209
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.279
And I'll get into switching old or further on in
210
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.919
the process. But we start out with a good quality
211
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:14.120
meat for carnivore meats, poultry, fish, eggs, raw dairy things
212
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:20.120
of that nature. That's very, very important. And how we
213
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:26.600
process it up to us. We can do chunks of meat.
214
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.840
You can do whole prey, you know, when you throw
215
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:34.279
it down, a whole chicken, a whole rabbit, a whole
216
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.279
you know, leg of lamb if you want it, or
217
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.519
pork shank, lamb shank, anything of this nature. You can
218
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.000
chunk it up in the chunks, big or small, it
219
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.320
doesn't matter. They know how to handle it. They chew,
220
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.000
you know, they know what they're supposed to chew. They
221
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.759
know what they're supposed to do with it. In nature,
222
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:04.240
they're designed, especially or canines. They're designed and those This
223
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.759
only applies those to those that are more of the
224
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.200
natural wolf type body obviously does design do not work
225
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:17.079
well on bulldogs and on pugs and Pekinese. They're designed
226
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.720
actually to grab the body, rip off a piece of me,
227
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.200
tear it off, and then swallow it whole or with
228
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.920
minimum amount of chewing. They do not have grinding teeth
229
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.279
like we do as an omnivore. They are a carnivore.
230
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.720
Tear swallow, tear swallow, that's what they're designed to do,
231
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.599
so the whole cuts of meat no problem for them.
232
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.680
If they happen to ingest a piece that's too big
233
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:52.680
that they cannot swallow, they actually have a reflex that
234
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.960
allows them to cough it back up, reshew it or
235
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.640
shoot the first time in many cases, and then we
236
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.920
swallow it. I've seen it happen with dogs with bones
237
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.799
the same way. They're designed to crush them if they're
238
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.920
too big. If they're not too big, they just swallow
239
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.400
big pieces of them and they do perfectly well. So
240
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.240
the way that you feed it is totally up to you.
241
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.759
Some meats are just better and easier to handle as ground.
242
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.880
Some animals prefer the ground diet, some prefer more of
243
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.359
a chunk diet. One of the things that we do
