And here's your host, Bill the Pet Health Guru, in to the Pet Health Cafe to show where your pet has a voice.

0:54 This is Bill the Pet Health Guru, along with my special guest host, doctor Michael Zoon. How are you, doc doing well? Bill? Another another week? Yeah, another week of melting. Yeah, that's right, it's been crazy. It's weather. I mean, I don't know. It's yeah, well, yesterday we had some rain that kind of kept things cooler, but I mean rain during the day. Um, But you're right, it's just the temperatures just are not budging, they're going up. It seems that way. It doesn't seem natural though, does it. No, it doesn't. It seems like it's almost like a Twilight Zone episode where like the Earth is moving closer to the Sun. It feels like that. Yeah, it's got to be something because it's it's like crazy that, um, you know, I mean here in South Florida, normally it can be blazing hot, but we normally have a steady breeze most of the day. And it's like did the globe stop churning and there's no breeze anymore. Yeah, it does feel that way. It's just, um, I don't know what they call it, al Nino or whatever they call it. Um, it's just, uh, you know how many days in a row in the mid nineties, I mean, and more to come. Just I don't know why they even have a weather forecast. They don't even need the weather man anymore.

2:21 No, And you're you're a little bit farther north than I am. It's been it's been like hitting ninety seven, ninety eight, ninety nine every day here at Pampana. Wow. Yeah, And you know, you know keeping you know, my air conditioners are running at the store, you know, constantly, and and you know we're dealing with food, so we have to keep our back room as cool as we can. And it's like the girls are sweating. Yeah, it's a big challenge, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, it really isn't. It takes a toll, even on the other equipment. You know, our freezers are you know, in the in the store and in the back room have to work extra hard because there's a different now in the ambient temperature even in the cutting rooms and stuff like pet So it's it's really a challenge and it's gonna be really challenging on our pets as well, isn't it. Oh sure, Like we've talked about many times with the heat and the summer and the effects on our pets. It's just um, you know, with the heat outside and the hot pavements and the temperatures.

3:17 I mean, our animals are under all sorts of stress, just like just like we are. And you know, I heard I heard somewhere where in the Mid East it was one hundred and fifty something decrease. And I think human human beings can't survive above one sixty, So it's unbelievable. Yeah, let's hope it's not in the desert where there's no shade, right, that would be horrible. Okay, it's night. I figured we take a little bit of a turn because we've been you know, we've been really hitting you know a lot of you know, critical type of topics and that sort of thing, and normally most of its centers around our canine population. Um, because you know, like with walking them and exposure to you know, um exterior type environmental tops and the natural thing, they're they're much more susceptible to that stuff. But um, there's more, isn't there more cats than there are dogs in the pet population? Yeah? Yeah, there sure are, I mean feline you know, feline guardians out number of canine guardians.

4:27 It's um, it's certainly uh yeah major. You know, they they have they have the lead over the dogs, that's for sure. Um. And uh, you know, it's good to talk about kiddies. We don't we don't often talk about them very much, no, and you know, I mean you know, and I guess because they do have a larger population and it seems like they're um, they're most they're dominant demographic is female. Can we use that word anymore in a regular on the TV? I don't know. But um, hence the terms that we hear all the time. They're crazy cat ladies, right right, because I mean, and they and they think you know, it's not that they're crazy, but they just you know, the whole thing is that they really are emotionally tied to their their feline friends, aren't they. Yeah, they sure are. And cats seem to be aligned in some other dimension, you know, the way they really kind of sense them. I merely get a feeling that they sense energies from other dimensions. And they're very very empathtic animals, you know, they really are.

5:41 And our guard and the feline guardians, the crazy cat ladies, as you said, you know, they they really communicate very well with the cats on a on a very telepathic level. Often. Yeah, well, um, you know, just to get a little bit into this, first off, cats are the stake cats first off, developed as a desert animal, which which has a lot to do with their type of diet and etswer thing which we will get into later. But um, cat genetics are totally different than any other creature on the face of the earth, aren't they. Yeah, they sure are. UM certainly a lot more UM. I don't know, I would say variability um in in fee lines, I don't. I mean, yeah, I know one of the things that you know, there's there seems to be um a lot more sex linked genes, you know, like with calicos and things of that nature, where they're always you know, females. Um. But just you know, I know that early in my career I was reading you know, of course I was always uh interested in the genetics. But um, there were several good books out that that talked about cat genetics just not being like anything else here on earth. And you know, maybe they are the actual alliens. Yeah, yeah, I mean they go way back bill as you know, to you know, Egyptian times, and uh, you know they were held as very they were held in high you know, favor, favor spiritually. You know, they were really

7:15 i mean they're you know in the pyramids, they're often you often see figures of cats. You know, they really have been you know, in tune with us for many generations. Yeah, it's true, of course, you know they were you know, uh with the ancient civilizations and that sort of thing with you know, feeding the masses and that sort of thing. Of course, a lot of seed was produced, you know what we call greens today, but they were really still a true seed and they were all done fresh and things like that. And the cats were actually um the guardians of that to keep the rats and the mice in the other room and away, weren't they. Yeah, yeah, they sure were. It's you know, it's interest. Um, now, I know you've been practicing a long time.

8:05 What percentage of your practice I would say, Yeah, you know, I would say a good sixty percent, sixty five you know that call me for my services are our kiddy guardians, and often they're multiple cat households. Not that people don't have multiple dog households, of course, but when you get into some of the people, like the quote unquote crazy cat people sometimes they have eight nine cats in their homes and then you get you know, you get into sometimes hoarding situations, which can be difficult to keep everybody healthy. But yeah, yeah, big proportion of my my cases that come through the door are our feline cases, and certainly with the pressures of allopathic lifestyles, I think really hits the cat extremely hard, you know, especially when we talk about the foods that are out there that kind of hooke these animals and make it so difficult to get cats often on an evolutionary diet, don't they. Yeah, it really does. You know. One of the things Get said, I've been in the pet part of the business for over fifty years, and one of the things that I found in very very interesting.

9:24 In the very beginning and probably over the first decade that I was into it, there weren't a lot of cat cat products out there. They were basically so much of it was just developed for the animal health industry or the animal food industry, and cat people just would not purchase anything that had a dog leable on it. And it was interesting because the manufacturers gradually learned about this and realized it, and they would actually just bottle the same product, whether it be a shampoo of light then a different supplement or whatever, into a smaller container and then charge more money because obviously they're not doing the big runs of the same stuff they were for dogs because the consumer wasn't buying the quantity because first off, our cats are tiny compared to our dogs in most cases.

10:18 Although you know that Bothy on all these uh miniature miniature, miniature toy breeds is you know, taken hold, but for the most part, I mean you go back thirty forty years ago, the bulk of the dogs that were being sold and bought and being cared for were medium sized breeds. Yeah, very true, very true. So the marketing part of it, I've watched change dramatically over cats, and of course I mean just oh you have, dude, look at the litter box. You know, evolution you know, from just a little plastic box to super electronics, cleans, automatic deodor rises. Oh yeah, yeah, you know items. Yeah, talk about a toxic evolution of of an aspect of the industry. That's certainly the litter that these animals are being exposed, that are being exposed to, you know what, what's sold in the common grocery store or in the common typical pet store. I mean, just read the ingredients. I mean read the labels of what's in there, all the chemicals and the deodorants. And I'm sure you could comment on that bill extensively. Oh yeah, well you get all the anti that the clumping agents as well. Um, you know, then you've got something that actually is so called testing the pH you know, then you got pH indicators and um, you know, uh, the other types

11:48 of chemicals. And while people think that's a convenience, it really is exposing to that that animal to a whole plazora ofchemicals and toxins they would never never run across in nature. No, no, I mean all for a convenience of not having people's homes smell like a you know, like a you know, a cat house at a zoo. But as you said, I mean the chemical expansion in these litters, and you know, keep in mind that these are litters, like you said, clumpable litters that you're not you're not supposed to flush down your toilet because they would clog up your the pipes and your toilet. And just think what it's doing when cats are getting those those clumpable litters on their paws and then grooming themselves when they get out of the litter box ingesting those things. It's just uh, you know, it's a it's a plethora of toxins and certainly affects their health, right yeah, well, you know, and on the bank side of that, I mean we think, you know, you see the small pellets and you know, well, you know, my cat normally comes out of the box, you know, without a bunch of stuff stuck to them. But there's all that, there's a whole just dust, which is the same component. And like you say, they're continuously cleaning themselves and grooming, and at some point in time, how well does that move through the gut out the back end? Yeah, like I said, it it's clogs up there digestive track like it does

13:20 the pipes and or the sinks. And you know, we see plenty of cases in the conventional vet clinic of obstipated and constipated cats that can go to the bathroom or going very infrequently, not because they're on a species appropriate diet often, but because they're being exposed to chemicals and toxins such as the litter. And you know, we often forget in a Western medicine practice not to look at simple factors like that and animals that present with bowel issues. Yeah, it's exactly right, and of course that can take us into you know, the species of appropriate diets and that sort of thing. You know, one of the things that I've moved to for so long is of course the feeding of dry foods to cats because it's going to be easy to leave it down. But cats being a desert animal in the deserts, you don't have you know, watering holes, and they weren't even developed to be able to you know, lamp up water like a dog does, but rather they're basically sticking their tongue in and getting one drop at a time. Isn't that true?

14:33 Yeah, yeah, and you know they're not effishing water drinkers unlike dogs. And you know, the healthy cat when they're not on kibble. You know, people went back up for second. People when they have cats on kibble, they're drinking excessive amounts of water, showing how clinically dehydrated they are. And then when they're shifted over to a species of appropriate diet, their thirst when they're healthy should be next to nothing. They should get all that moisture from that meat based right, That's exactly true. And one of the other things is a difference in the water, because if you're filling up that cat's bowl with tap water or even buying bottle spring water or whatever, that's still what we consider dead water. You know, you don't have the mineral content, you don't have the um, you know, the pH factors that you need, and um the activity that's available in a in a raw food with the enzymes and the hormones and everything else where. It's actually used at a cellular level. The molecules are minute by comparison to regular tap water, and they're getting so much more out of that that that's actually going to flush out the system, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, excellent point. That acts as a natural flush out of the toxins. Sure does. And you know, and on the other side of that, of course, you know, um, you know, when we look at some of the secondary issues that the cats have, howbably it's going to be at least in the top two or three is kidney and urinary issues, isn't it. Yeah, yeah,

16:07 I mean tremendous number of young cats, you know, sometimes starting under a year of age, develop problems with crystals in their urine and mucous plugs and often blocking up the mail cats and causing obstructions which you know, often need emergency allopathic care at that point. And you know, we're seeing animals with bladder stones. And then eventually, like you said, as they get older, the whole urinary system is under tremendous siege. You see the development of kidney failure. I often find that cats that are fed these process prescription foods that are supposed to be developed to dissolve crystals and form a pH in the urine that's favorable to urinary tract hels. I often see those cats develop eventually kidney failure when they're you know, consuming these prescription diets. I mean, that's absolutely true, and it's number one, it's present preventable just by feeding the right species appropriate diet as we mentioned, which they are an obeligate carnivore. They're not like a dog where um they're opportunistic. You know, they need those really that fresh meat where dogs will eat road kill and you know, almost anything inappropriate just to balance their body. Can't still have that special ability to seek out those nutrients, do they? No, they don't, And so that makes it even more important to move away from these commercial foods and onto what they evolve to eat. And it's critical and I encourage

17:42 people to look at, you know, their animals diets right when they get them right in the beginning, because as we've talked about on other shows, once they get hooked on that you know, kibble and the flavorings and all of that, it is a challenge build often to get them off of those foods. I have so many clients that come in, but I try to raw meat diet and I try to fresh meat diet. I cooked it and they still wouldn't eat it. And we don't have that problem with our dogs. No, They, like I said, they're more of a scavenger and they can seek out the nutrients they need. But of course, you know, part of the reason for that is the addictive chemicals that are added to the all food today, actually even our foods. But that's some of these synthetic h you know, sugars like the aspertanes and meat tames and the whole family of them, which each company owns their own proprietary blends and molecules are those, so that they're hooked on one brand. But cats have tendency to be more addictive and harder to break that addiction. I mean, we literally over the years have taken you know, cats, and I remember one of the first ones we had, it took me almost nine months to do the conversion. Now we can at least get it down to almost a six week you know the drug withdrawal and you know rehab program, but it's still tough.

19:02 I've I've had animals that multiple more than's multiple cats. One can't take to it right away, the other one won't touch it, won't touch it, won't touch it for sometimes weeks and everything else, and then all of a sudden walk over and push the other cats away, take a bite of raw food, make horrible faces and walk away. And then the very next day it's like turning on a switch. They go right to the raw food. And so you have when we're doing those conversions, we have to be persistent. We have to offer. Don't stop offering it, even if I have a teaspoon, you know, because once you make that switch, once you go from dry to wet, okay, don't go back, don't go backwards. Then when you go from wet to raw, you're there. We're to break right now with doctor Dim, so we'll be right back after this quick break.

This is build a Pet Health gourgu along with doctor Michael dem I know, I want to remind people as we're coming back into the segment that you are free to make comments. You know, come into our chat, give us your thoughts and your views. Those are always appreciated. We know that there's so many pet omens out there that have so many questions about their animals, and you know you can't get them from the allopaths. So you have to you know, when you have to spend a fortune just to get in the door. You know, it's almost like going to Disney these days. You know, then you get paid one hundred dollars at the gate in order to get in, isn't it, Doctor Jim, Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. I sent the client today and for a work up on our animal, and I mean just to have some diagnostics. The animal is having some trouble, and it was amazing. I mean the veterinarian just started finding every possible thing wrong with the animal on and none of it was relevant clinically to what was happening with the patient, pointing out the heart and the

22:38 spleen and making judgments on the findings that weren't accurate. And like you said, it's like a trip to Disney. I mean, it's just a pot pourri of tests that often aren't necessary, over the top and then interpreting these tests so that then they could then dispense various drugs and medication. So my client and when for just a simple simple tests, you know that I asked for and came home with a menagerie of drugs and medications and a list of possible diagnoses that again much of them aren't relevant, and now I have to interpret those and calmer down. And all I wanted was some basic information.

23:19 I know, you know, it's a shame that you know, and I know that there's places popping up all over bit more for people. E's something where you could just go in and have the testing done, You own the records, you can take them to whoever you want to interpret. I've suggested it to several actually many bets over the years, just setting up one of those type of facilities. And but of course that's not the model that the AVMA and AHA want, is it. No, not at all. It's test and then find much wrong in their minds and then dispense as many medications and drugs as possible. I mean, it's all about, sadly, profitability, or at least much of it, and then you know, wellness, well being takes a back seat. Now, one of pleas wanted to bring up because cats are more mysterious, more secretive. How do you know when the cat is sick? What are some of the symptoms that you would find?

24:23 Well, you know, usually you know they typically will more withdraw you know, they're the type of animals unlike most dogs that various dogs that someone w withdraw, some will become more needy and clingy and not leave their guardian side. With cats, they tend to be more withdrawn. They may spend time hiding when they don't feel well. You know, they'll start often, like we mentioned a few minutes ago, drinking more water. You know, that's often a symptom that they're out of balance or dehydrated. And of course you know they'll miss more than an occasional meal. They'll start to go off feed. They might vomit up you know, liquid brown or hair balls or you know, all of these quote unquote normal things that people say they are normal in the alopathic setting, but they're not. And you know, often it's general symptoms like that that I look for when a cat is becoming ill.

25:22 Right, No, um, you know the hairball thing. That's another thing that's tied directly into diet, isn't it. Yeah, sure is. And uh, you know I often so many times hairballs are blamed for you know, vomiting, and you know, there really are a secondary issue in my opinion, and most of these animals, and like you said, it's the foods that lead to the accumulation of hair and and normally that would pass through uneventfully the digestic track when they're fed appropriately. Well also, I mean you wouldn't have the hair wash. I mean they're not They're not supposed to be losing that much hair, are they No, not at all. They're healthy. And of course the hair is probably the last one of the last areas that gets the nutrition because the body's trying to heat keep everything on the insight held all the time. The same with dogs. That's why we see all these skin problems and that's working on dogs because the nutrition is going someplace else, especially very poor nutrition, right right, good point. And so you know we see these general symptoms and you know, they start to lose weight. Cats can lose weight very quickly. You know, they'll lose weight, and you know, usually it's behavioral symptoms that we look for, and there are, of course the physical symptoms of illness. But you know, if we start seeing you know, a lot of clients when they have animals in the conventional click, well, he vomits hairballs, you know, once or twice or you know a week or once or twice a month, and

26:53 that's just too much. That's not a sign of health. So the you know the definition of health, and conventionally we're an animal versus a holistically, we'd animals totally different. So it is not normal for cats to vomit hairballs like that. Yeah, it's you know, and of course you know, vomiting and diarrhea are both signs of obviously housekeeping. We're trying to get rid of bad stuff that's there, um you know. I mean in the wild cats would would actually be eating a certain amount of furn hair for mice and things like that, but it goes right through the digestion trap and you know, and not a problem. Um, you know. Seeing we were getting a few comments on veteran here, why can't you get what you pay for or what you ask for? Well, I was having this conversation with a with a friend of mine today. I mean, you know, unfortunately, most fredinarians are paid when they work for these corporate practices, which is now a main a main ownership of many of these businesses. It's it's not the you know, the country vet anymore. You know, the sole practitioner.

28:04 Most of the veterinary practices that I know are now being sold to various corporate conglomerates, and often the veterinarians stay on as chiefs of staff or working and then transitioning the practice over to a corporate model. And the corporate model, of course states that you know, the veterinarians will get paid by what they produce, and so it becomes a business most more of a business. I mean, of course, it's every you know, you know, it is a business to begin with, but it becomes more based upon how much money is generated and that's how they're paid versus quality of care, which always you know, doing not doing unnecessary testing using the stethoscope and our hands as finding out most of the problems we see, our eyes finding out most of the problems that we see in these animals. We don't often need all this extensive testing. So, you know, the ven in our industry has become so much more automaton and automated, and it's just the exam is real quick, and then they're running a whole bunch of tests and again it's all about income generated. In many cases. Yeah, it's unfortunate because I mean, you know, you and I how do we look at success? We look at a healthy animal I mean in your case, it doesn't have to come and see you very often. Just we're basically a physical of course, I've got you know, the healthier animals once we show that they're healthier, eating as

29:36 spieces of appropriate diet. That's my business model. So we're selling lots of food, but I don't care. They don't have to buy it from me. Just feed, feed the animal the right way. And you know we're there on the other side of it with the herbs and botanicals and you know, some of the specialty type products, but you know, the broths and the rod dairy and all that that UM can support and basically just fine tuning and then up pushing any interim. You know, you're there to help guide them as well with when these little problems and these little blips pop up with you know, with you know the energy of homeopathy and you know your vast experience. Yeah yeah, and you know it's important to try and get on top of these issues before they become major diseases and advanced pathologies. In fact, because cats mask and illness so well, it's important to be really very observant with these animals and bring it to the attention of their holistic veterinarian of what's if they're starting to see them at the water dish a little bit more, or they're noticing a little bit more vomiting than they should, or changes in their behavior or weight, which cats, as I said, they'll continue to act quote unquote normal. But these signs build up in and all of a sudden the animal presents and boom therein and like you would say, an advanced kidney failure or with other pathologies, you know, the other diseases they

31:10 cuts through get a lot of cancer too, unfortunately, but those are the biggest pathologies we see. And then when they present that way, it becomes a lot more difficult for you know, them to heal. I mean, it's still of course, you know, we do our best and often can see dramatic responses in these animals, but it's certainly much easier when we catch these problems early. Great and then yeah, and you know, basically all animals hide their illnesses a intially thing because in a while, and if you look sick, you're somebody else's meal. So you know, that's an important that's an important part of the natural universe. But also you know, when we look at the foods again, all these you know, first of starting with the dry food but even a lot of the canon wet foods. The natural thing, the ingredients can change from badg to batch. They don't have you know, the companies are not required to change their label every time they change the ingredient. And you know, the big companies if they were, if they're running their labels and they have printed, you know, one hundred thousand labels, okay, and they could actually literally change from chicken to pork and they'll still all be labeled chicken because they can go as long as they have labels. And that's what the FDA is has kind of gotten into just before the show. I haven't gotten into it yet. I'm go really curious to see some of the details. But the FDA has now come out and

32:40 wants to become more heavily involved with standard testing. Again. The theory is, of course, we're going to get away you know, the test you who are looking to get with your client and that you do on a regular basis, is to get away from that type of testing because it's too individualized. We can't use the cookbook, if you will, of allopathic medicine. The same way. It's gonna be interesting to see what kind of new guidance they're going to give on that stuff. Yeah, it's interesting. I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, like I said, I just I saw it probably fifteen minutes the article came into into me before the show. But yeah, it's just they want to control everything. And of course this is going to go on on the human side as well, that's what they're really looking at. But you know they're going to start experimenting it with on the veterinary side as well, because let's face it, in allopathic medicine, who's guiding the treatments. You know, most of that's coming through FDA PROO drugs, isn't it, And they want certain one pushed. Yeah, and maybe you know, we can get into some of the clinical conditions that the drugs really they don't even have any purpose in treating many of these systemic diseases, you know, And it's just all we have. It's the same group of characters, the steroids, the antibiotics, the same drugs, and we use them over and over again for all of these different clinical conditions, and you know,

34:14 most of the time they're not even indicated. But like you said, they're FDA approved for whatever purposes they are, and they're not even clinically indicated. And you know, most of the cats, like the cats with the urinary tract problems, like you said, I mean, they're typically given antibiotics and and you know, anti spasmodics and bacteria aren't even involved in most of the cats with the urinary tract disease. And that's just the row antibiotics at them like it's water. Yeah. And of course with the testing, you know, once it shows these kind of problems pathologically, that kidney could be as much as seventy damage. We're against the breakaway here. Let's get into the regeneration process a little bit too when we come right back. Does your pet suffer from allergies, cancer, digestive issues, or joint and skin problems?

We're back here in a pet house cafe to show where your pet has a voice. This is build a Pet Health Guru along with doctor Michael dam And you know again, if you have any comments, you have any questions, just go ahead and send them into us. Are you happy to try to answer them? Um? And of course share these share the program with your friends and other pet owners because this is the only way that we get to reach large numbers of people. Um. And it doesn't cost you an office, is it either? Does it? Doc? No, don't at all. And because it doesn't help you out at right? All right?

37:52 Well, I mean information, I mean that's really most of our job. Much of our job is to be teachers of health rather than drug dispensers, and so much of you know, my practice. People come and they say, well, where's all the instrumentation and the equipment and all of that. And you know, when you have a holistic practice and you're using herbs and food based herbs and botanicals and homeopathic remedies, you don't you know, you don't need a whole office full of fancy equipment and and X ray machines and that kind of thing. You really much of the time just can really just teach clients how to how to raise healthy animals. Yeah right, you know you mentioned you know that many many of the drugs really don't do anything for the uh, the underlying causes. It's mostly just to mitigate the symptoms, isn't it. Yeah. Well, antibiotics, for example, suppress from a homeopathic perspective, suppress the life forces, expression of discharge and inflammation, which is the way the body's trying to restore health and balance. And another great example of that in our kidie population, especially ones and you know that are out the strays that are not very well taken care of, that are you know, let's say, understress animals that Humane Society shelters that come in with the chronic upper respiratory symptoms, the sneezing and the eye discharges. Those animals are being placed on again antibiotics, and again bacteria aren't even involved in much

39:25 of these cases, but the antibiotics again suppress those discharges and really end up driving the disease either deeper into the body as we talk about in different perspectives, or just you know, temporarily, and then the drugs stopped working because they're not indicated, right of course, you know when we're bringing in a diet part of that, those same antibiotics just killed the dut flora and really suppressed the digestion of nutrients, don't they That's right, And then you end up getting that those leaky guts and the you know, the lining of the bowel becomes permeable to toxins from the gut that normally would be kept at you know, within the gut, and you know, you end up with systemic illness once that gut is imbalanced, you know, throughout the body, as we've talked about many times. Yeah, Now, just before the Brinks, I said something about the testing that quite often, um, the test stone end don't really show the problem until the problem to you know, that that liveral that kidney are like seventy five gone or more UM, so you're you're starting once you once it's diagnosed, You're starting from a very poor pole position in that race against health, aren't you. Yeah. Yeah, I mean those those enzymes often don't go up, like you said, till there's that irreversible damage. And of course, when I say reversible from an allopathic perspective, and we certainly have seen miraculous recoveries once we do eat them and detoxify

41:00 them and get them on the appropriate diets, treat them with energy medicines like homeopathic remedies to treat them on a deep level. And yeah, I mean, well, one of the things about the body and it is that regenerative strength and ability, if you will. Um, I know a lot of stuff that's been coming out in the last ten fifteen years. Um. And you know we know that we replace our skin cells like once a month, and um, you know our case sbuds are actually redeveloped every three day. The kidney deliver basically if it's cleaned out and said appropriately and not poison anymore, you can actually rebuild a liver or kidney in four to six months, right right, excellent point. You know, I mean over the years, I can't tell you just by switching the diet. The number of animals that came in with you know, given four to six weeks to live with liver failure and kidney failure, that you know they're coming back in that you know, it's been eight years, it's been nine years, it's continued. It's like, well, what happened to that death sentence that the yellow pat gave you? Right? Right? I mean the you know, the amazing the pathologies that can be reversed. You know, the bladder stones start to dissolve, right, I mean yeah, I mean the things like the dandelion roote, and it's one of the things that we use to dissolve stones all the

42:31 time. It doesn't happen overnight, though, does it. No, it doesn't, And it takes time, and the body will go through stages where the animals seem like they're back to normal, and then all of a sudden, there'll be a discharge of toxins and a return of discolored urine or maybe a little bit of discomfort. And that's when we want to still stick with the process, not abandon it. That's exactly right. But you know that's one of the big things. And of course you mentioned you know that you know in some of the symptoms that the weight loss in cats, it's it's again, they hide that so well with their furry bodies, don't they.

43:12 Yeah, yeah, they sure do. And as I said, it can be very subtle at first, but then you know, I've seen cats just drop weight immediately. I mean they've been you know, where the subtle signs of illness are either missed or not observed by the client and then boom, all of a sudden, just the roof caves in. So that's where we have to be very observant for our feline friends and certainly bring it to yours or my attention when we start to see the body being a little bit out of balance. Well. The other thing too, I think it lie it's a lot harder to notice it in cats too. Our dogs have a tendency to be a lot more active, where cats are like just kind of like, hey, it is what it is, you know today, And you know when you go from hey it is what it is, that hey is what it is, it's not a big difference, is it. No, No, that's an excellent metaphor you just used. Absolutely, you know, and of course you know we we talked of, obviously on the dog side, a lot about demo problems. What's with all the you know that we're giving them all the crunchy food that they can eat. Why is this brustle bed? Why can't you eat anymore? Well, you know, it's funny, Bill. I know we're getting towards the end. But you know, there was a studies done back what in the early twentieth century called the Pottinger Cats studies, when showing when they were fed cooked, processed foods, all the development in quick time over one or two generations of cats, development of all sorts of degenerative diseases of the teeth, the mouth, the bones that

44:43 joins the airways. It was just amazing to see the rapid development of these diseases and in just a generation or two of cats. But you bring up a good point about the teeth and the gum issues. Cats certainly suffer from that immensely, and much of that is diet. And also we have to bring in the vaccine component and the toxic you know, because you get this autoimmune response in the in the gum tissue. And uh, plenty of kiddies you know, suffered tremendously, you know, from gum and dental disorders when they're raised allopathically, and again a lot of that can be prevented or even treated with what we're talking about. Yeah, it's so something's like that that we're done. Why why aren't they being taught? Um? I saw I saw a note on um One of the social media is from a nurse and it's like, you've been a nurse for like twenty years, and of course this whole thing the last three or four years has changed a lot of thinking with a lot of people, and it's like, why why doesn't the doctor say, you know, you get acid reflux, change your freaking diet right, right, you know, quit putting you into stuff that causes it.

45:53 Right. It's easy to dispense a drug, that's for sure, like an an acid or or you know, in medication, rather than change our lifestyle. But you know, with our animals, you know, we really it doesn't take a lot of effort to really do some of the things we're talking about. It's just it's the simple things. It's good food, good water, as you said, lots of love, fresh air, exercise, run your kiddies around around your homes, if they're indoors. You know, those are all the key recipes for good health and it really breaks down to simple things. Yeah, you know, we're down to about a minute and a half, believe it or not. I know, you hit a couple of little points that you wanted to throw in about cats. Why don't you throw them in now and tell them where they can reach you as well? Well, I mean they could reach me at my website, which is doctordim dot com. That's dc tr dym dot com, l one word that as my email address and my contact information. And I think we've presented a lot of good information in a short period of time. It's amazing how these hours run by, as you say, Bill, and there's so much to talk about.
