00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.740
And welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, the show where
9
00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:45.869
your pet has a voice. This is Bill, the Pet
10
00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:49.250
Health Guru, along with my co-host, Michelle. How are you
11
00:00:49.289 --> 00:00:50.229
doing tonight, Michelle?
12
00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:51.469
I'm well, Bill.
13
00:00:51.590 --> 00:00:52.310
How about you?
14
00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:57.490
We're battling the studio thing, trying to get a balance with.
15
00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:01.469
Sound and light and color. Not easy.
16
00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:05.230
You know, it's a whole different subject than we've been
17
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.849
used to. And we're working on it. As we start
18
00:01:08.909 --> 00:01:12.989
every show, I want you to click on it, that
19
00:01:13.409 --> 00:01:15.890
share button. Share with as many people as you can
20
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:17.870
because we have an important message.
21
00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:19.290
Again this week, like always.
22
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.420
And we want you to like it and subscribe so
23
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:27.519
you don't miss any more, any episodes at all. That's
24
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.540
important because we're here every week for you. That's just
25
00:01:30.579 --> 00:01:34.260
an important thing. Chat will be open and we've got
26
00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:37.969
an interesting title of part two from last week where
27
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.790
we started talking about herbs and herbal blends and synergies
28
00:01:42.349 --> 00:01:46.730
and what's out there on the market basically that you
29
00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:51.390
may be being taken and.
30
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.819
Duped because quite often what's.
31
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.129
On the label isn't really what it what it may be.
32
00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:01.769
And many times, even the people prescribing some of these
33
00:02:01.909 --> 00:02:06.769
alternative doctors and veterinarians and things like that, they have
34
00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:10.330
no real concept of the different synergies and the way
35
00:02:10.370 --> 00:02:12.210
this stuff works in the body and what can work
36
00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:13.629
with what and all of that.
37
00:02:14.110 --> 00:02:16.990
And we're here tonight, hopefully, to clear some of this
38
00:02:17.009 --> 00:02:19.789
stuff up and make it a little bit easier for
39
00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:24.120
you to understand. So, Michelle, what were your thoughts on
40
00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:28.689
this and Actually, it created a firestorm between us because
41
00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:33.629
when you look at what's in, what Dr. Google tells you,
42
00:02:34.389 --> 00:02:38.710
and all these so-called experts out there that really aren't
43
00:02:38.789 --> 00:02:40.270
looking at a whole picture.
44
00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:41.270
That's true.
45
00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:44.310
I mean, I did my homework as I do every
46
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.180
week because I want to make sure that I educate
47
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.120
our audience on the best supplements, if there.
48
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:51.860
Are any best.
49
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.759
And to my knowledge and also with Bill's help, I
50
00:02:56.819 --> 00:03:01.620
realized that unless you're, you know, researching these companies that
51
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.639
are putting out these supplements, it's so difficult. I mean,
52
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:11.090
you need quality assurance and quality control. And that's difficult,
53
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.789
don't you think? To be able to get that unless
54
00:03:13.849 --> 00:03:17.669
you're not going to go into a store and say, hey,
55
00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:19.340
What about this one?
56
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.680
Or research this one? Who has time for all this?
57
00:03:23.379 --> 00:03:26.740
So we're going to today, the reason we're doing part
58
00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:28.500
two is so we can, you know.
59
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.860
Have a little bit more knowledge.
60
00:03:30.629 --> 00:03:33.930
About the different ingredients that are in these supplements that
61
00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:36.129
you need to be aware of, that you should not
62
00:03:36.189 --> 00:03:38.199
be buying, the reasons behind it.
63
00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:40.009
Well, you know, one of the things, the big thing
64
00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:43.449
when you talk about that is, you know.
65
00:03:43.530 --> 00:03:49.110
You see a herbal product on the market, Number one,
66
00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:52.740
you think it's going to be pure, but you don't know.
67
00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:53.360
Where it's grown.
68
00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:55.939
You don't know how it was harvested, how it was transported,
69
00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:59.539
what it was washed in, how it was dried. And
70
00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:03.159
on the back side of that also, how it was packaged,
71
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.710
because a lot of chemicals sometimes have to be added
72
00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:12.030
to it for the packaging. You know, anti-cake agents, anti-stick agents,
73
00:04:12.409 --> 00:04:15.069
lubricants so they can fill a jar, fill a capsule.
74
00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:17.779
You don't know what the capsules are made of. And,
75
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.779
you know, once they started adding those chemicals in, that's
76
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.259
why you see things like Verbitol and Maltodextrin and things
77
00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:25.540
like that.
78
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.300
These are sugar compounds and.
79
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.790
Basically addictive drugs because they want you addicted.
80
00:04:30.569 --> 00:04:31.910
To their brand as well.
81
00:04:32.730 --> 00:04:35.930
And I experienced that when we first started the company
82
00:04:35.990 --> 00:04:38.110
because I was looking for people. I didn't want to
83
00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:40.589
have to fill all my jars. I wanted somebody to
84
00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:42.269
do it for me. I mean, you know, I've got
85
00:04:42.329 --> 00:04:45.920
enough other stuff to do. As you're all aware, I
86
00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:49.439
never stopped. But, you know, when you stop and think
87
00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:52.160
about the process that we had to go through, you know,
88
00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:58.790
sourcing good, clean product, you know, third-party testing we insist on,
89
00:04:58.889 --> 00:05:02.670
you know, for, you know, to be sure it's what
90
00:05:02.810 --> 00:05:06.329
they say it is and that it's clean of chemicals
91
00:05:06.389 --> 00:05:09.050
and things like that. I remember 10, 15 years ago,
92
00:05:09.089 --> 00:05:10.899
they actually did a sweep of a lot of the
93
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.250
major stores that were selling herbals. and found out something
94
00:05:14.269 --> 00:05:17.029
like 75% or 80% didn't even contain what it said
95
00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:20.149
on the label. Some of them were nothing more than
96
00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:21.949
pure grass clipping.
97
00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:25.269
A lot of these companies, you know, they don't tell
98
00:05:25.310 --> 00:05:27.519
you about a lot of pathogens. They think that they're
99
00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:32.939
not telling you behind the scenes. And the third-party testing, yes,
100
00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:36.019
that's a good thing. But not with all companies. I'm
101
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.819
just going to throw out Amazon for a second. You
102
00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:40.480
go on there and you look at some of those
103
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.769
inexpensive vitamins, you will see it doesn't even say third-party testing.
104
00:05:45.850 --> 00:05:48.529
You have no knowledge about what's even in the product,
105
00:05:48.889 --> 00:05:51.089
except for maybe a few caking agents.
106
00:05:51.170 --> 00:05:52.250
But it doesn't give you all.
107
00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:56.459
Of the list of the micro-crystalline products and all of that.
108
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.180
It doesn't say that. You have to be careful.
109
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.939
Quality over quantity.
110
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:07.189
I mean, I've watched lots of different podcasts and videos
111
00:06:07.569 --> 00:06:12.209
and that sort of thing. Just in, let's say, turmeric.
112
00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:15.730
You know, the bulk of it, you know, the fight
113
00:06:15.769 --> 00:06:17.949
it makes growing in the United States is not easy.
114
00:06:17.970 --> 00:06:20.509
They don't do it as a commercial crop here. And
115
00:06:20.589 --> 00:06:23.149
once a quantity is being used, a lot of it
116
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.740
is native basically to India, Pakistan, and that.
117
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.000
Part of the world. So a lot of it's grown there.
118
00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:35.160
And, you know, even if it says organic, number one,
119
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:39.439
there's no reassurance because those places are never inspected. Less
120
00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:43.959
than 5% of imported goods are ever inspected. under the
121
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.600
organic program. But when you see, you know, they're not
122
00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:51.379
like the United States, where, you know, we're sending them
123
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.579
in sterilized trucks or at least clean truck vehicles. They're
124
00:06:55.620 --> 00:07:01.040
coming in on ox-drawn wagons. You know, they haven't been
125
00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.899
rinsed in the field. They've been just thrown in their
126
00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:05.319
wagon as they do it. It comes in, they go
127
00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:09.970
into vats, and the big vats, where they're using solvents
128
00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:14.980
and detergents to wash it. There's no quality control. It's
129
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.959
not filtered water or anything like that. Now, so now
130
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:21.600
you've got possible contamination. Then you get the drying process,
131
00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:24.459
the grinding process, all of that. And you don't know
132
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:27.439
whether it's just even pure product. It could be an
133
00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:29.920
inferior product. You don't know how it was raised. So
134
00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:33.420
all this stuff is very, very important to find, you know,
135
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.470
to watch because what they do overseas, like I said,
136
00:07:36.709 --> 00:07:39.769
is there's no, there's no guidance. I mean, You know,
137
00:07:39.790 --> 00:07:42.100
they can't drink the drinking water there because it's so bad,
138
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.439
but that's what they're washing your turmeric with and your
139
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.860
ginger and all the other products with.
140
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.800
That's a great point.
141
00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.199
I mean, when I look at your products, you know,
142
00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:54.060
you have all these herbal blends and herbs, and I
143
00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:57.610
trust the source. I really do because I know that
144
00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:01.790
you've researched it extensively. So I believe in your products.
145
00:08:02.069 --> 00:08:04.389
I take them because I believe in you.
146
00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:05.949
I believe in the source.
147
00:08:06.209 --> 00:08:06.569
I know.
148
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.800
that they have an in-house laboratory also that they test
149
00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:17.790
each herb individually at this particular facility where the source
150
00:08:17.850 --> 00:08:18.649
is the same.
151
00:08:18.949 --> 00:08:23.889
Even when I worked for, you know, as a teenager
152
00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:26.410
for Garena, I don't know how you mentioned names, but
153
00:08:26.430 --> 00:08:28.500
I worked at one of their mills. We had to
154
00:08:28.569 --> 00:08:33.299
take samples of every product run that we did. Those
155
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.039
were never tested. they were tested only if there was
156
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.360
a problem after the fact. I saw a recall that
157
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.370
just happened of one of the pet food companies on
158
00:08:44.389 --> 00:08:48.669
some of their ingredients, and they actually found the problem.
159
00:08:49.230 --> 00:08:53.169
It was nine months before they issued a recall.
160
00:08:53.909 --> 00:08:54.590
Nine months.
161
00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:57.529
90% of their product was already through the supply chain.
162
00:08:58.230 --> 00:09:00.909
So the company really didn't take a hit on it.
163
00:09:01.409 --> 00:09:04.960
Nothing was ever done about it. You know, and When
164
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.419
it's that far removed, you don't know what your dog
165
00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:12.899
died from, what that cat got sick from. So, you know,
166
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:16.779
it's playing Russian roulette, to be honest with that stuff.
167
00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:18.870
You know, the closer to the source you can get,
168
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.649
the better. You know, I've done with cats and carnivores.
169
00:09:22.029 --> 00:09:23.570
You know, we shouldn't be giving them a lot of
170
00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:26.129
vegetables and everything else, which is, you know, when you
171
00:09:26.169 --> 00:09:30.210
look at the sources for vitamins and minerals, where'd they
172
00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:30.629
come from?
173
00:09:30.649 --> 00:09:33.730
You know, according to, you know, the.
174
00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:39.750
At food manufacturers, corn gluten meal isn't corn. It's a protein.
175
00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:46.370
But how was that extracted? What chemicals are they using?
176
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:49.500
If it was so good, why can't you go into
177
00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:51.500
a store and buy corn gluten meal?
178
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.080
Why is it not available?
179
00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:54.960
Using it all for their kibble.
180
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.830
What we're trying to say, everyone, is you know, we're
181
00:09:58.870 --> 00:10:01.860
not against doctors, but when you go into your doctor
182
00:10:01.929 --> 00:10:04.440
and you have a symptom and the doctor says, oh,
183
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:10.580
you have lethargy, you know, or you have brain fog,
184
00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:14.539
you should take this vitamin. We're not looking to put
185
00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:17.980
a Band-Aid on that one symptom. What we're looking to
186
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.200
do is get to the root cause. The root cause
187
00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:23.960
is we're out of balance. We have toxins in our
188
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.320
body and we got to get rid of them. We
189
00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:29.179
got to bring our bodies back into balance so that
190
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.730
we don't need to take all of these supplements. And
191
00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:38.289
I do know people, I've had clients, family members, you know,
192
00:10:38.289 --> 00:10:44.889
20 years this woman is on a certain vitamin supplement, multiple,
193
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:49.519
I would say at least 25 vitamin supplements a And
194
00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:54.279
this poor woman today, I'm not going to say, nor.
195
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.159
Should I make that assumption, but she has cancer.
196
00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:02.210
And I don't doubt it because all of these vitamins
197
00:11:02.230 --> 00:11:05.549
you're taking, you don't really know what's in them. And
198
00:11:05.669 --> 00:11:08.649
all of the extra additives that are in these vitamins,
199
00:11:09.070 --> 00:11:12.309
this is what's causing our cancers today. It's causing the
200
00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:15.610
toxins to build up in our liver and our kidneys.
201
00:11:15.970 --> 00:11:18.490
And we need to know what we're putting.
202
00:11:18.269 --> 00:11:20.210
In our bodies. Real food.
203
00:11:20.549 --> 00:11:22.789
You will get your vitamins from real food.
204
00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:25.629
That's where the nutrients are supposed to come from your food.
205
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:28.559
When we look at different supplements that are out there
206
00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:32.740
and how does a doctor, I've had this discussion with
207
00:11:32.899 --> 00:11:36.539
different veterinarians and health professionals on the show. How do
208
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:42.169
you determine what supplement I should be recommending to my client?
209
00:11:42.629 --> 00:11:46.330
And it's like, basically, well, this is what the sales
210
00:11:46.389 --> 00:11:48.830
rep told me I should do. This is what they
211
00:11:48.870 --> 00:11:52.889
put in their handbook. This is what's in standard practice.
212
00:11:53.190 --> 00:11:56.909
But the thing is, is when you supplement a single item,
213
00:11:57.309 --> 00:12:00.129
you're throwing off the balance of everything else because in nature,
214
00:12:00.149 --> 00:12:03.789
it's all about balance. If you need vitamin D or
215
00:12:03.830 --> 00:12:07.490
you need vitamin K2 or you need, you know, any
216
00:12:07.549 --> 00:12:11.389
of the vitamins or minerals, okay, when it comes from
217
00:12:11.429 --> 00:12:15.700
a natural source like food, first off, that Vitamin is
218
00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:18.879
in there with a whole bunch, a whole plethora of
219
00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:24.740
other things that work synergistically. And when you remove those
220
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.320
other items to isolate a certain part of it, you've
221
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.340
lost the synergy.
222
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.259
You've lost the energy.
223
00:12:32.779 --> 00:12:35.840
And the other thing is, is because those other items
224
00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:38.919
are needed to balance with what's around it. When you
225
00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:42.720
look at calcium, for instance, calcium has to be in
226
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:48.460
a blend. with phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, the vitamin K2, vitamin D,
227
00:12:49.049 --> 00:12:52.509
a whole bunch of hormones and enzymes. Those hormones and
228
00:12:52.549 --> 00:12:56.679
enzymes aren't breaking out just that one, you know, just
229
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.360
the calcium. It's got to work to.
230
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.519
Bind and balance out that whole complex.
231
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.759
And that's tied also into iron and into copper and
232
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.240
all kinds of other things, you know, How can we
233
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.559
be magnesium deficient.
234
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:12.460
All the time?
235
00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:14.779
How can we be iron deficient all the time? When
236
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.679
in fact, they're testing the wrong thing. They're testing your blood.
237
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.679
Blood is a transport system.
238
00:13:21.019 --> 00:13:23.610
It's changing all the time.
239
00:13:24.149 --> 00:13:27.929
It starts out going through the heart, picking up nutrients
240
00:13:27.950 --> 00:13:30.470
along the way, distributing along the way. So depending on
241
00:13:30.509 --> 00:13:35.700
where that blood test happens, you can show gross deficiencies.
242
00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:38.509
But yet your body is fine. Your body's got plenty
243
00:13:38.549 --> 00:13:40.129
of it because it's been used.
