to roll this thing rolling and get it to as

31
00:01:59.769 --> 00:02:02.230
many people as we can, because, you know, we're seeing

32
00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:07.299
it out there, Michelle, that all the other so-called celebrities

33
00:02:07.390 --> 00:02:10.280
out there, they all got a single message, you know,

34
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.439
buy my food, buy my food, buy my food, buy

35
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280
my vitamin. And that's not what this show is about.

36
00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:19.379
This is about actually changing the lifestyle. And are there

37
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.280
products involved?

38
00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:20.879
Yes.

39
00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:22.289
And are they all from us?

40
00:02:22.310 --> 00:02:22.370
No.

41
00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:25.150
You can do your own thing for the most part.

42
00:02:25.169 --> 00:02:27.830
I mean, because we talk about real food, which you

43
00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:31.069
can buy at farmer's markets and directly from the farms.

44
00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:34.780
We talk about real herbs, which you can buy anywhere

45
00:02:34.789 --> 00:02:36.879
as long as you know that you're buying high quality

46
00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:41.800
and putting it together in a formula and excluding all

47
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.199
the chemical attacks that our pets are exposed to. It's

48
00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:48.020
really that simple, isn't it?

49
00:02:48.539 --> 00:02:52.669
Absolutely, Bill. I mean, we have to protect our fur babies,

50
00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:54.669
just as much as we have to protect our own

51
00:02:54.729 --> 00:02:58.650
health and our own children. And what we're not realizing is,

52
00:02:58.689 --> 00:03:01.270
you know, Bill's talking about the nutrition part and where

53
00:03:01.310 --> 00:03:03.669
you can buy your food and source your herbs. But

54
00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:07.460
what about environmental toxins? What about the toxins that are

55
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.900
coming into your home? Buy your pets, buy your shoes,

56
00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:12.759
you know, leave your shoes at the door if you

57
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.180
have to.

58
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:19.289
You know, it's about changing that lifestyle and realizing that

59
00:03:19.770 --> 00:03:23.129
even the littlest thing, And quite often, like you were

60
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:26.169
talking today about one of the animals that you lost

61
00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:29.960
a while back. And, okay, because you had a sick animal,

62
00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:32.639
and then you were trying to clean and stuff like that.

63
00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:38.159
And you're blaming yourself on one component, but it wasn't

64
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.659
that component. I didn't tell you this at the time.

65
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.580
It wasn't the chlorine that was the major problem. All

66
00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:49.639
the other stuff, because chlorine dissipates. So, you know, when

67
00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:53.590
you use it in your laundry... It eventually dissipates, so

68
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:56.669
it's not as bad as 90% of the other stuff

69
00:03:56.689 --> 00:04:01.319
that's out there. It's basically a respiratory problem. But that

70
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:05.120
being said, we want to talk about how you need

71
00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:08.659
to read your pet. And, you know, what your pets

72
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:12.719
aren't saying, that's the topic tonight, and how we react

73
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:14.770
to it. But we have to start out from a

74
00:04:15.229 --> 00:04:19.069
general premise. Michelle, you know me. There's nothing ever wrong

75
00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:22.310
with me until something's wrong with me. And then it's

76
00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:25.279
a major issue because I hide it all. I'm a

77
00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:32.420
natural animal. Your dogs and cats don't show symptoms until

78
00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:36.470
they're severe. Because in the wild, if you look sick,

79
00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:40.949
guess what? You're somebody else's lunch. You're somebody else's lunch. And,

80
00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:44.870
you know, they sometimes need, you know, they go into

81
00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:48.560
these reactions. You know, they go in. what we call

82
00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:51.040
to go to ground, they hide, they go in the closet,

83
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.230
they curl up behind the couch, whatever, so that they

84
00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:57.870
can heal. It actually is a two-part thing. They can

85
00:04:57.930 --> 00:05:00.610
either heal or they can leave on their own terms.

86
00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:04.310
And we don't have, we don't understand that. You know,

87
00:05:04.529 --> 00:05:07.250
we want to wake them up every two hours, force

88
00:05:07.329 --> 00:05:10.069
feed them because they haven't eaten in four hours, you know,

89
00:05:10.149 --> 00:05:12.829
stick them full of needles, stick them full of, you know,

90
00:05:13.329 --> 00:05:16.970
syringes of food in their mouth, and We want to

91
00:05:17.009 --> 00:05:19.709
see them jump up and play. They need to rest.

92
00:05:20.189 --> 00:05:24.100
One thing I would say to our audience is if

93
00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:27.399
you just follow this, and I learned this from a veterinarian,

94
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:32.199
he has this thing called the BEAM model. It's B-E-A-M.

95
00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:36.540
He's rolling his eyes because I think it's pretty cool.

96
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.910
So subtle changes that we notice in our pets. We

97
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:42.930
have to be aware of that. So what is the

98
00:05:42.990 --> 00:05:47.149
BEAM model? It's B for... Watch their behavior. Has their

99
00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:50.709
behavior changed? Has their behavior gone from a nice dog

100
00:05:50.769 --> 00:05:53.949
to an aggressive dog? That dog obviously is in some

101
00:05:54.009 --> 00:05:55.370
sort of pain, don't you think?

102
00:05:55.889 --> 00:05:56.629
Not necessarily.

103
00:05:56.649 --> 00:05:59.050
So you see, as a pet parent, I would think

104
00:05:59.110 --> 00:06:02.110
my dog is maybe in pain. Maybe that dog is

105
00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:05.050
upset about something. What's your take on that?

106
00:06:05.470 --> 00:06:09.350
Well, this is the thing. Aggression can change for a

107
00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:12.709
lot of different reasons. What was the last vex they got?

108
00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.019
What was the last medication? What was the last flea

109
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.160
treatment they got? Heartworm treatment. Did you change the diet?

110
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.540
Are you feeding a decent diet? These are all variables

111
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.439
that enter into it that nobody ever thinks about. So

112
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.300
that premise went right out the window.

113
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:34.339
So what about energy? Part of the being behavior is energy.

114
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.459
So what about the energy of the animal?

115
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.810
I had a fight with you this afternoon. What's the

116
00:06:39.910 --> 00:06:42.550
energy in the house? I mean, I'm being facetious.

117
00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:42.750
Right.

118
00:06:43.009 --> 00:06:45.850
Yeah, but I mean, oh, I was driving home and

119
00:06:45.910 --> 00:06:49.050
somebody cut me off and I was in an accident.

120
00:06:49.649 --> 00:06:51.490
My boss fired me.

121
00:06:52.889 --> 00:06:53.649
What about the energy?

122
00:06:53.670 --> 00:06:56.970
But that's the energy that you are displacing to your pet.

123
00:06:57.230 --> 00:07:00.470
You walked in the door pissed off and, you know,

124
00:07:00.709 --> 00:07:03.889
your pet picks up on it right away. You went

125
00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.490
to that stupid Mexican restaurant that you hate with your

126
00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:13.290
co-workers and now you are ill. You've got, your stomach

127
00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:16.550
is like on fire and gurgling and everything else. Your

128
00:07:16.589 --> 00:07:19.129
pet picks up on all that. So the energy thing,

129
00:07:19.509 --> 00:07:22.170
while it's a part of it, it's very, very broad.

130
00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:27.319
So if the dog comes from a very energetic, playful animal,

131
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.259
cat or dog, and then all of a sudden they're lethargic,

132
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:34.240
what would you say to them? That would be a subtle,

133
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.199
maybe something with the food.

134
00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:39.750
It could be any of the above because If your

135
00:07:40.050 --> 00:07:41.769
dog wants to play and you walk in in a

136
00:07:41.790 --> 00:07:44.680
bad mood, and they pick up on it, it's like,

137
00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:47.480
they're not going to want to go play. They're going

138
00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:49.959
to be over there licking your hand, licking your face,

139
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.000
curling up on a couch because you're sitting there sulking.

140
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:55.459
You know, they're going to do all that stuff. The

141
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.610
play just went away.

142
00:07:57.189 --> 00:08:01.889
The other part of the beam, appetite. A for appetite. And,

143
00:08:02.269 --> 00:08:04.129
you know, as pet parents, we always want to make

144
00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:07.269
sure our pets eat. You know, and then I realized

145
00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:11.290
with Bill... The pet doesn't have to always eat. I

146
00:08:11.569 --> 00:08:14.519
change my pets over from twice a day to once

147
00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:16.980
a day, and they're fine. They're completely fine.

148
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.259
That's a part of it. But the other part of

149
00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:23.399
that is, okay, especially with us raw feeders, because we're

150
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.050
not using chemicals to entice them to eat, which is

151
00:08:27.069 --> 00:08:29.730
the thing with kibble and most canned foods, and even

152
00:08:29.790 --> 00:08:32.429
now a lot of the freeze-dried foods, because even some

153
00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:37.730
of the frozen foods, because with pasteurization and sterilization of food,

154
00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:41.820
We have to add artificial flavors. And they put additives

155
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.070
in there that make them addictive. You know, I don't want,

156
00:08:45.610 --> 00:08:48.610
and you can probably attest to this, I love a

157
00:08:48.669 --> 00:08:51.509
good steak. I don't want the same steak every day.

158
00:08:51.529 --> 00:08:54.590
I want a variant because they all have different flavors. Chicken,

159
00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:58.220
once in a while. Fish a little bit more, actually

160
00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:02.120
fish more often than chicken. Why? Because some days I

161
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.840
want something special. Your pet is no different. If you

162
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.840
put down beef every day or you put down chicken

163
00:09:07.889 --> 00:09:10.559
every day, they just say, hey, I've had enough of this.

164
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.879
Give me something different. So their appetite is going to vary.

165
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.179
The speed at which they eat is going to vary.

166
00:09:17.659 --> 00:09:20.519
And their energy levels are going to change depending on

167
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.759
what nutrition you put in. So when you look at

168
00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:26.840
the components of those diets, are we using, okay, so

169
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.259
you're a home cooker for your pet. I'm using ground beef, okay?

170
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.000
That's the source. Okay, what's the source of it? What's

171
00:09:33.019 --> 00:09:35.490
the quality of it? Where does it come from? Now,

172
00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:37.970
on the other side of that, when we do a

173
00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:41.759
balanced blend of beef, for instance, there's a certain amount

174
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.139
of beef heart, beef liver, beef kidney, okay? And that's

175
00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:48.860
the same with pork and everything else. But those levels

176
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.190
can change the flavor, the need of the body, because

177
00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:58.710
I need aâ and I did this with show dogs

178
00:09:59.049 --> 00:10:02.440
years and years ago, Tom. 20 years ago, that because

179
00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.820
when they're in a show circuit, they burn so much energy.

180
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.190
They're on a high energy diet. Just supplementing an extra

181
00:10:09.230 --> 00:10:12.409
feeding of something like beef heart or pork heart, because

182
00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:16.370
of the high density of the metabolic calories, and that's

183
00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:19.289
a term you need to learn about. metabolic calories, that's

184
00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:21.190
the ones you can burn, not the ones that go

185
00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:24.309
in your body. That two, three times a week made

186
00:10:24.350 --> 00:10:27.269
a difference between losing weight and maintaining weight.

187
00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:31.120
Wow, incredible. What I'd like to address is sometimes we

188
00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:34.019
have clients that come in with their pets who have cancer,

189
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:39.100
and they're so afraid to use the cancer AM and

190
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.799
PM herbs to put on the pet's food, and then

191
00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:44.870
we get these calls that, you know, the pet won't eat,

192
00:10:45.250 --> 00:10:47.889
The food won't eat the raw food. Oh, my goodness,

193
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.879
it won't eat the chicken. Oh, another day it won't

194
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.720
eat the rabbit. But we encourage you. We want you

195
00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:58.399
to understand there's no wrong way to do this. And

196
00:10:58.490 --> 00:11:01.470
if your pets don't eat it at first, they will.

197
00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:04.289
Sometimes my pets don't eat for a day or two,

198
00:11:04.370 --> 00:11:08.250
and I don't get overly excited. Unless afterwards I feel

199
00:11:08.269 --> 00:11:12.019
there's other subtle issues or subtle things that go on.

200
00:11:12.049 --> 00:11:15.110
Here's a single thing that people don't realize. It's a

201
00:11:15.169 --> 00:11:18.570
trick I've learned over. It's one of those biohacks, okay?

202
00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:22.129
You've been feeding your dog commercial foods, even your home-cooked

203
00:11:22.169 --> 00:11:23.889
foods for a while, and now we have to switch

204
00:11:23.909 --> 00:11:28.110
the diet because of a medical crisis. Okay, so I'm

205
00:11:28.149 --> 00:11:31.190
changing the diet. I take a raw diet, for instance.

206
00:11:31.210 --> 00:11:33.049
I don't care what food it is. I put it

207
00:11:33.070 --> 00:11:35.399
down in front of them. They walk over and smell it,

208
00:11:35.389 --> 00:11:37.860
and they walk away. They don't know what it is.

209
00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:40.220
It's like you getting dropped off in the middle of

210
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.590
the jungle in some far-off country, and they say, here's food,

211
00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:45.970
and you look at it and go, oh, my God,

212
00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:49.549
that's gross. You don't want it. You won't eat. Pick

213
00:11:49.610 --> 00:11:52.710
it up, put it back in the refrigerator, let them wait.

214
00:11:53.850 --> 00:11:55.789
But here's the key to it. This is one of

215
00:11:55.809 --> 00:11:58.570
the keys that I wanted to say. When you pick

216
00:11:58.610 --> 00:12:04.110
that up and you walk away with it, do not go, oh, oh, Phoebe, oh,

217
00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:06.750
my God, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. No,

218
00:12:07.190 --> 00:12:10.250
that's negative energy. You pick it up, you walk away,

219
00:12:10.269 --> 00:12:11.620
you don't even look at the dog, you put it

220
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.700
in the rack of the refrigerator and walk away. Because

221
00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:17.700
the primal part of the brain kicks in. That predator,

222
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.440
I just lost my prey. And at most, especially on dogs,

223
00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:26.600
they won't miss three feeding. But number three, they're like,

224
00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:29.519
I don't know if I'm getting another one. The primal

225
00:12:29.570 --> 00:12:32.470
part of the brain is kicked in. And so this

226
00:12:32.509 --> 00:12:34.210
is how we have to do it. The same thing,

227
00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:38.429
you sprinkle on some herbals. OK, herbs are foods. Oh,

228
00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:40.929
he doesn't like them. And they tell you they don't

229
00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:43.210
like them or they're telling you, I don't know what

230
00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:46.029
this is. You know, did you sprinkle it on top

231
00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:48.419
or did you mix it in? You know, this is

232
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.320
a this does make a difference. And, you know, do

233
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.679
we have ways of disguising?

234
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:54.019
Yes.

235
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.639
Things like raw honey, like bone broth, things of that nature.

236
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.200
But if you haven't introduced him to bone broth, that's

237
00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:02.279
not going to make any difference. If you didn't give

238
00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:04.679
them any raw honey before that, it's not going to

239
00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:06.360
make a difference because they still won't know what the

240
00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:07.039
raw honey is.

241
00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:10.399
I want to interject on that. I've been helping a

242
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.230
client who has cancer, and she said to me, oh,

243
00:13:15.269 --> 00:13:17.570
my goodness, this dog, I don't know what to do.

244
00:13:17.590 --> 00:13:20.350
I have honey. I have bone broth. I have kefir.

245
00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:23.490
I have goat milk. Too many things all at once

246
00:13:23.549 --> 00:13:26.009
you can't do either. So you have to break it

247
00:13:26.169 --> 00:13:29.509
up into sections, into parts. So maybe one day you

248
00:13:29.529 --> 00:13:33.539
do the cancer A.M., herbal blend, you know, which is

249
00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:38.220
the herbs, the bio-veg complete herbs, right? You put that

250
00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:40.740
on the food and then maybe you mix a little

251
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:45.120
bit of kefir. And then the next day you can do,

252
00:13:45.250 --> 00:13:49.830
mix a little bit of honey. You rotate, you rotate, rotate, rotate. Yeah,

253
00:13:49.870 --> 00:13:51.029
so we're not asking you.

254
00:13:51.049 --> 00:13:54.110
But the other key to that, Michelle, is when you

255
00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:58.070
find something that they like, you magnify it. I mean,

256
00:13:58.090 --> 00:14:01.129
I've had, I've had especially with cats, tough to switch

257
00:14:01.169 --> 00:14:04.759
over sometimes. But I found one of the gateway foods,

258
00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:09.480
if you will, it's a gateway drug, right, was seared tuna. Why?

259
00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:12.120
I don't know. Everybody thinks that cats like tuna.

260
00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:12.539
No.

261
00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:15.820
Cats don't like fish. They're not fishermen.

262
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.960
I tell you, that's true. I gave mine sardines.

263
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:23.159
Dogs are more fishermen. Wolves are more fishermen than cats are. Cats,

264
00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:27.659
where they became known for this is because They were

265
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.559
being used for rodent control on the docks. They were

266
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.970
actually eating as many mice as everything. But you know what?

267
00:14:35.409 --> 00:14:38.250
Seafood was a free meal. They didn't have to chase

268
00:14:38.289 --> 00:14:41.889
down the rats. They were able to eat the seafood.

269
00:14:41.909 --> 00:14:44.830
They found it was okay. And that's a part of that.

270
00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:49.679
So it's like we stereotype our pets to a point where,

271
00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:53.730
you know, it's ridiculous. You know, when we talk about

272
00:14:53.769 --> 00:14:57.809
raw diet, oh, I've tried my dog on raw several times.

273
00:14:58.230 --> 00:15:01.970
What raw? Okay. I just found out this week a

274
00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:03.929
disclosure statement that was sent to me that one of

275
00:15:03.950 --> 00:15:08.330
the major manufacturers of raw food is using radiation on

276
00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:12.250
the food. Now, the FDA guidance on it is we've

277
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:17.409
never tested if the radiation in food is safe, what

278
00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:21.370
the safe amounts are, and what type of radiation. There's

279
00:15:21.409 --> 00:15:25.429
no testing. But you know what? There's zero pathogen. And

280
00:15:25.450 --> 00:15:27.610
you know what? When you eat a zero, if you're

281
00:15:27.649 --> 00:15:32.250
in a zero pathogen environment, no E. coli, no salmonella,

282
00:15:32.610 --> 00:15:36.779
none of these other bacteriums, okay, you die. You need

283
00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:39.559
that for digestion. That's actually helping you break down your food.

284
00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:42.360
I have a question on that. How would the audience

285
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.580
know that food had been radiated?

286
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.519
They're supposed to have a symbol on it that says so.

287
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.539
But you know what? Let's say you've been feeding this

288
00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:54.370
food for two years, the last two years, and now

289
00:15:54.429 --> 00:15:56.809
they made this change to it. Do you read the

290
00:15:56.830 --> 00:15:59.029
label every time you buy it, or did you read

291
00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:00.159
it the first time you bought it?

292
00:16:00.509 --> 00:16:01.350
Me, I read every time.

293
00:16:01.710 --> 00:16:02.889
Every time you buy something new?

294
00:16:02.909 --> 00:16:03.690
Every time I buy something.

295
00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:07.450
So when you pick up my raw chocolate milk, you're

296
00:16:07.570 --> 00:16:10.100
checking the label to make sure it's the same formulator.

297
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.960
No, because I already feed milk.

298
00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:16.039
I understand what I'm saying. You can take a good

299
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.100
product and make a change on it, and nobody would

300
00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:18.460
ever know.

301
00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:21.690
If you're not cognizant, if you're not paying attention, nobody

302
00:16:21.710 --> 00:16:22.129
would know.

303
00:16:22.490 --> 00:16:22.809
Exactly.

304
00:16:22.850 --> 00:16:26.129
So I think what we're trying to say to everybody is,

305
00:16:26.169 --> 00:16:26.909
you know.

306
00:16:26.990 --> 00:16:29.110
I mean, you came up with this protocol that was

307
00:16:29.250 --> 00:16:33.129
out there. And, hey, it wasn't simple. What they said

308
00:16:33.190 --> 00:16:35.129
was not as simple as it seemed, was it?

309
00:16:35.529 --> 00:16:38.860
But how are we going to explain to our audience

310
00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:41.799
that they need to look for the subtle signs that

311
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.799
your pet's displaying before you run to the vet? That's

312
00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:46.519
why we're doing this.

313
00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:48.179
Number one is you've got to spend time with your pet.

314
00:16:48.690 --> 00:16:51.690
You have to know what's normal. You have to know

315
00:16:52.269 --> 00:16:57.090
not only what optimal normal is, but what's suboptimal, what

316
00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:01.340
when I'm not feeling good is normal. Because just like kids,

317
00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:04.980
just like your spouse, just like your significant other, other

318
00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:07.319
people in your family, we all have good days and

319
00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:12.180
bad days. Okay. Just because, okay, we fixed dinner. I

320
00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:15.349
only ate my dinner. Oh, my God. Let's rush to

321
00:17:15.369 --> 00:17:18.259
the ER. Okay. Bill only ate half a steak. Oh,

322
00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:24.069
my God. That's like Armand Devin. It's like it never happens.

323
00:17:24.450 --> 00:17:27.450
He must be dying of something. And then we subject

324
00:17:27.509 --> 00:17:31.190
ourselves to the stress of running into that, the animal hospital,

325
00:17:31.630 --> 00:17:34.950
being poked and prodded by a bunch of strangers. And

326
00:17:34.990 --> 00:17:41.539
that stress level, that anxiety level, that health level is

327
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:46.220
actually going down through this whole process. They're actually getting,

328
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.839
I won't say sicker or more illness, but they're acting

361
00:20:20.750 --> 00:20:23.450
And welcome back to Pet Health Cafe, the show where

362
00:20:23.710 --> 00:20:26.410
your pet has the voice. This is Bill, the Pet

363
00:20:26.430 --> 00:20:30.829
Health Guru, along with my health coach, Michelle. And we're

364
00:20:30.869 --> 00:20:35.140
talking about, you know, how you read your pet, basically,

365
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:39.480
is what this is about. How you know whether they're healthy, unhappy, happy,

366
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.859
whatever it happens to be. And it's, you know, they

367
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.880
don't speak English, let's face it. That makes it tough.

368
00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:49.599
Your dog's got an upset stomach, he goes, you know, Hey, mommy,

369
00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:53.660
don't feed me. I've got an upset belly. No, he

370
00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:56.380
doesn't eat. And what do you do? You panic. You

371
00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:58.519
go into panic mode. Oh, my God, something's got to

372
00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:00.579
be wrong. And you're sitting on the floor trying to

373
00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:04.119
hand feed him. And they're eating a little bit to

374
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.930
make you happy. And that's not good either because it's

375
00:21:07.970 --> 00:21:12.569
making that upset belly even more upset. And then, of course,

376
00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:15.630
because they ate that with an upset stomach, you take

377
00:21:15.650 --> 00:21:19.720
them outside and they're gone. plastering the wall with diarrhea.

378
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.200
Now you're running to the animal hospital.

379
00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:24.200
What about when they're eating grass?

380
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.740
It's the same thing. There's something missing in their body.

381
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.450
But you know what? The reason they're doing that is

382
00:21:33.509 --> 00:21:37.230
the body is adjusting itself. You and I can't do it.

383
00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:41.869
The body has to heal itself. No medication, no so-called

384
00:21:41.930 --> 00:21:47.609
therapy plan actually cures any disease. It's all about symptom management.

385
00:21:48.089 --> 00:21:51.549
I was going to bring up simple things like, you know,

386
00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:54.289
I was walking my American bully one day and she

387
00:21:54.309 --> 00:21:56.950
was limping. And for the life of me, I thought

388
00:21:56.970 --> 00:22:00.190
it was because she may have had arthritis. Did I

389
00:22:00.450 --> 00:22:03.539
even think to look in her paw pads where she

390
00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:07.619
had hidden a little sticky, you know, those little stickies,

391
00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:11.319
you know, something as small as that. We might, we

392
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.599
might neglect it. We might not even think about something

393
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.059
like that.

394
00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.960
That's a $ 500. Yes.

395
00:22:17.869 --> 00:22:21.430
And so I saved myself a $ 500 vet visit by

396
00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:25.359

What is your pet not saying?
