18
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.359
And you know we're we're rocking and rolling here already
19
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.200
in twenty twenty six and without further ado, bringing my
20
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.799
guest doctor Michael dimm a home, a path and a
21
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.719
good friend. How are we doing, Doc?
22
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.359
I'm doing well though, Happy New Year. To you.
23
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:35.719
Yeah, Happy new year to you too. I mean this
24
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.840
is your first appearance in twenty twenty six.
25
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.079
Yes, yes, always always great to appear with you. Yeah.
26
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.079
That's great, great information and good, good dialogue.
27
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.680
That's that's what we're trying to do. I mean, as
28
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.079
much if the more information we get out there, and
29
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.319
if you just listen to some of the little details
30
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.120
we give you, your pet and you, yourself and your family's
31
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.760
lives will be fundamentally changed on a good, healthy, positive
32
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.080
passway that we all need. You know, it's a new year,
33
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.759
so we have new energy, and of course energy is
34
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.240
the key to a lot of it. And tonight we're
35
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:14.879
going to talk. We want to talk a little bit
36
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.520
about the shared experiences of ourselves and our pets, and
37
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.719
we're going to start that out. You know, I believe
38
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.560
that you mentioned something that we want to talk about
39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.319
parasites and how many different things there are we when
40
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.879
we talk about parasites, you know, everybody thinks heartworm, reil worms, bookworms,
41
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.599
and maybe tapeworms. But it's far more than that, isn't it,
42
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:39.080
Doctor Dym.
43
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.280
Yeah, yeah, I mean our digestive track is full of
44
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.520
various parasites, both ones that are you know, that have
45
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.280
a symbiotic good relationship with the body, and then others
46
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.680
that we don't like to see. So you know, so many,
47
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.400
and you know they're not named by most veterinarians or
48
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.680
actually measure in laboratories, even a common conventional diagnostic laboratories.
49
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.360
But yeah, parasites are, uh are a big thing now
50
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.240
and you know, definitely looking forward to talking more with
51
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:10.759
you about it.
52
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.080
Yeah, I mean, you know, we do. Of course, we've
53
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.759
been doing parasite control forever, as you know, with the
54
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.639
use of just herbals and botanicals which are safe and effective.
55
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.199
You know, we've had no you know, I think I've
56
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.960
been doing those for like twenty twenty five years in
57
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.080
a commercial sense, and it works. I mean, you recommend
58
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.879
the products so, you know, to a lot of your clients.
59
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.039
You know, we we keep rolling it out on the
60
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.599
other side, making sure that those orders get filled. And
61
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.000
of course, you know, when we started it, of course
62
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.280
we named that particular product from Biocomplete as a heartworm
63
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.560
and parasite product and as a food for it. It's
64
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.560
not a drug, it's nothing that you know needs a prescription.
65
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.919
It works, it's a you know, we found it to
66
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:03.919
be one hundred percent effective. And of course because the
67
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.360
food is only the body for twenty four to forty
68
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.240
eight hours, unlike conventional stuff. And like you said, it
69
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.280
was called heartworm because twenty years ago the fear based
70
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.920
medical community made that like, oh my god, if you're
71
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.920
exposed to it, your dog is dead unless you use
72
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.160
this product. And of course there's what one hundred different
73
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.079
products now and we still have the through the conventional
74
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.399
side people. You know, the dogs that are on this
75
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.759
product showing up heartworm positive. How is that possible?
76
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.879
May a true? I had a client this past week.
77
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.759
I'm in with a big Burmese bound dog that was
78
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.639
on heartworm prevention. It came up from the north down
79
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.040
from the northeast, and dog presented with severe coughing and
80
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.480
you know, it was getting worse on the heartworm protocol treatment,
81
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.360
which includes antibiotics and steroids. And then again the uh,
82
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.639
the you know, the adult is the poison, the arsenic
83
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.759
poison that's injected to pure the adults. Well, this dog
84
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.959
never made it that far. It just I think from
85
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.879
all the toxicity of the heartworm prevention. And again they said, oh,
86
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:21.480
it must be resistant heartworms and so you know, they say, oh,
87
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.160
it's just because the preventatives aren't working because they're resistant,
88
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.920
so we have to come up with stronger ones or
89
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.240
different ones. So anyway, this poor dog had with positive
90
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.519
for heartworms was getting worse with treatment, and then they
91
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.920
did X rays and found the dog, price surprise unfortunately,
92
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.319
had cancer throughout its lungs too as well. And you
93
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.399
know that to me, that's all the same pathology, just
94
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.920
getting deeper in the body. You know, it's not anything
95
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.160
you know new or different, it's this. These things are
96
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.240
all secondary. And that's what I try and stress in
97
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.560
my practice is you know, if we can improve the
98
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.319
health of the animal and give it the right food, dudes,
99
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.920
give it the right botanicals, beat them with homeopathy one
100
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.959
appropriate and watch their bodies rid themselves of the parasites
101
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.839
and then you don't get the toxicity, the poisoning, the cancers.
102
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.680
You know, the whole sequela of events that occur from
103
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.639
you know, all the drugs, medicines and and you know
104
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.240
the parasites. To me or secondary, yeah, yeah, exactly.
105
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.519
I mean, you know, when you look at the research
106
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.759
that has done it where you went to school, University
107
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.000
of Pennsylvania, on heartworms back in the seventies because I
108
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.319
was working with several veterinarians that were involved in that,
109
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.040
and it was it was interesting that when you look
110
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.199
at it, it's one species of mosquitoes that carries carries
111
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.120
it and it you know, if you're gonna be bit
112
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.519
by several of these these several of the same species
113
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.439
mosquitoes transferring it into the body because you need obviously
114
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.680
multiple myophilia going up to the heart, because you's going
115
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.600
to need mes and females, and you know, they have
116
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.439
to breed somehow. And when they get into the bloodstream,
117
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.879
if you're going to a healthy animal, what happens to those.
118
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.959
Yeah, they get eating up. They could eat up, that's
119
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.839
exactly right.
120
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.720
Yeah, And from the initial research that we saw, it
121
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.040
takes six to nine months to migrate to the heart
122
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.800
because they're battling all this stuff. Dog would literally have
123
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.600
to be bitch probably fifty or one hundred times unless
124
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.199
it's a very very low you know, immune suppressed animal,
125
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:32.680
wouldn't it.
126
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.160
Yeah, No, the low union suppressed is the key, because again,
127
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.040
the clinical cases of heartworm I see in practice typically
128
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.560
are animals under intense stress, such as those coming from
129
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.279
shelters or rescues or animals on you know, toxic diets
130
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.920
and and being given poisons of that, you know, whether
131
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.560
they're the injections or whether they're the you know, the
132
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.560
the preventatives. Those are the animals I see the heart
133
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.959
RUMs in. It's not the you know, the animals that
134
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.399
are in the commercial kibble. You don't see it in
135
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:08.199
a fresh meat, fresh fed animal who's on good you know,
136
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.720
herbal detox and a good lifestyle. I just I just
137
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.040
don't see it. So when people come to me, I
138
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.800
do recommend the heartwork paracite one because I want to
139
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.639
get them out of the mode of thinking that they
140
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.560
have to use something. Because if they just feed what
141
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.959
they're supposed to feed, and you know, use the herbs
142
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.759
and botanicals in the way that they were meant to
143
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.839
be used, you just don't see these parasites and harm.
144
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.960
You just don't know, you know.
145
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.399
And it's interesting too because looking at a bigger picture,
146
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.080
of course, if they do show up positive, I mean
147
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.279
that means that they you know, in a standard blood
148
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.759
test that's going to just show that they were exposed,
149
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.039
not that they have active and once the worm, you know,
150
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.679
once in my affelia get to the heart and start breeding.
151
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.159
It can take eight ten years or more before there's
152
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.759
enough worm damage to kill the dog. But that's not
153
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.919
what they're told in the office, is it now.
154
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.480
Not at all that they put up there the model
155
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.679
with the spaghetti looking worms in there. Yeah, it's you know,
156
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.320
they actually have the in many of the vet offices,
157
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.000
they have the you know, the globe, the model with
158
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.919
the actual heartworms in the model. Yeah, you know, in
159
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.320
the in a real heart. Yeah. Anyway, But you know,
160
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.320
I I just you know, when I I have been
161
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.919
I've been doing this a long time like you. And
162
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.200
I'm not getting burned by my clients that were coming
163
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.320
back to me saying, you know, hey, why don't you
164
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.000
you know, why why aren't you giving heartworm? Was positive?
165
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.279
I mean one of my colleagues from South Texas, you know,
166
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.720
doctor Falconer. For years he used you know, herbs, and
167
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.919
he also used what's called a heart worm nos ode,
168
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.559
which is a homeopathic remedy, which is another way of
169
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.799
many these you know, infectious disease as well as parasite
170
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.039
like you know, like that. And again he was never
171
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.879
he wasn't being sued and he wasn't being you know,
172
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.080
taken out of practice because you know, a healthy lifestyle works.
173
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.919
Yeah, it surely does. And it's it's interesting, you know,
174
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.039
because I've been doing i mean, the dead heartworm research
175
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:17.360
and all that stuff started in the early seventies, so
176
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.159
I've been familiar with this. You know, God, what is
177
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:25.279
it sixty years now or more sixty five years. It's
178
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:30.120
like crazy that we in the conventional market. It's just
179
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.200
about selling more products. It's not about preventing, it says
180
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.679
on the package. For all of you that are listening,
181
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.360
that are using the package products from your veterinarian, the
182
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.159
first statement on the back of that package says, this
183
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.799
is not a prevention, it's a treatment for something your
184
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.960
animal probably does not have. And what does that do?
185
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.240
What does that to the animal?
186
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.360
Doctor Jim. Yeah, it's just just poisons the animal. It does.
187
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.759
And then keep in mind that the modern prevent versus
188
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.600
the ones back in the seventies and eighties, I mean,
189
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.600
the modern ones have multiple poisons in them, multiple drugs
190
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.879
to target different quote unquote parasites. So it's not just heartworms,
191
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.080
it's all these other drugs. And I think the one
192
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.159
of the guys you probably know from Penn. The late
193
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.960
doctor David Knight, who was the first president of the
194
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.519
American Heartworm Society. He wrote articles and was angry that
195
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.639
the drug companies were coming out with, you know, polypharmacy
196
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.200
preventatives with all these different chemicals in them, because he said,
197
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.480
we need to be first of all, we shouldn't be
198
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.039
pushing year round heartworm in most areas of the country
199
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.039
because most areas of the country, it's not even transmitted
200
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.840
in two thirds of the country for three quarters of
201
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.360
the year. And yet back then they were starting to
202
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.720
push year round prevention, you know, in the most of
203
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.799
the northern two thirds of the country. And you know,
204
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.720
the other drugs that were being thrown in with the
205
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:04.960
heartworm or preventative were drugs that were targeting intestinal worms
206
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.240
that most healthy adult and senior dogs don't even have.
207
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.519
They're mostly get them when they're puppies or when they're
208
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.600
a young kitten. And so it was really the pharmaceutical business,
209
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.679
like it has over many decades, is just you know,
210
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:23.120
broaden their poisons and broaden the attack and that does
211
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.120
nothing but contribute to more ill health and on every level.
212
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.919
Yeah, and I mean and also I remember, especially when
213
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.559
at the height of all this hype like fifteen twenty
214
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.840
years ago, maybe twenty five years ago, which is why
215
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.679
I formulated the formula that did. But they were also
216
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:43.840
inferring that if your dog came back with any parasite checked,
217
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.240
that was positive. Well, they lumped them all together as one.
218
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.080
And you know, obviously, you know, things like round worms
219
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:59.360
and hookworms, you know, come from almost direct ingestion of
220
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.519
you know, feasts and things of bad nature. You don't
221
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.279
get heartworm from that, do you.
222
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.159
No, you know, they come from mosquitoes, and you know,
223
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.840
just to clarify about the roundworms and hookworms, as you know,
224
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.639
most and this goes into a you know, a further
225
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:21.399
discussion is most healthy adult dogs have low levels or
226
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:26.039
some parasites in their body, including roundworms, and so you know,
227
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.559
when they give birth, when they become pregnant, they actually
228
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:33.080
the hormones and the change in the biochemistry of the body,
229
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.960
they actually transmit worm infestations to the puppies or the kittens,
230
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.120
and that's just part of the way it works. And
231
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.159
then those puppies and kittens, if they're supported through their
232
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.039
early you know, weeks of life and they're not poisoned
233
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.080
even more they'll get over it on their own or
234
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.600
with general worming support, not these heavy duty drugs that
235
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:58.240
are being you know, given repetitively over and over again
236
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.320
to both pregnant animals and animals that are nursing or
237
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.360
shortly thereafter. So, but parasites and low numbers are a
238
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.559
normal state of the canine body.
239
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.879
Yeah, I mean, it's not sterile. And of course most
