00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.520
Pet has a Voice. This is Bill, your Pet Health Guru.
10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.560
And there's another Thursday night here and I'm ready to
11
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.439
do another fantastic show. Hopefully I'll give you a lot
12
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.679
of information as we always try to want to give
13
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.399
you the the latest, the most up to date. As always,
14
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.359
I would love for you to share this with as
15
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.000
many people as you can. Anybody that has health issues,
16
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.280
anybody that has a pet, dogs, cats, farm, animals, anything
17
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.920
that's alive and breathing, go ahead and share it, like
18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.680
it and subscribe so you will not miss another episode
19
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.239
of this is We try to have new information every
20
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.120
single week. The chatroom will be open, so if you
21
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.040
have comments, questions, things like that, I'll be glad to
22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.879
answer whatever I can as you can see, I'm going
23
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.760
to be alone tonight. So this is a topic that
24
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.159
I have to deal with almost every day, and it's
25
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.680
one that's kind of near and dear to me because
26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.079
when we're feeding our animals and even feeding ourselves, I'm
27
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:55.000
amazed at how little most people really know about nutrition
28
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.319
and about the foods that they eat. And of course
29
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.239
we know that in order to be healthy, you know,
30
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.640
we have to put we have to look at very
31
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.120
seriously what we put into our mouth because that's where
32
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.639
it all goes. You know, unless you happen to be
33
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.000
in you know, the ICU unit and you've got you know,
34
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.360
tubes running in and out of you for nutrition and
35
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.759
things of that nature. It's all dependent on what we eat.
36
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.879
It all depending on what we feed our pets. Our
37
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.800
pets can't tell us what they want, you know, most
38
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.520
of them don't speak a language that we can understand.
39
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.520
The only way that we can understand is when you
40
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.159
put down that food. If they're not wolfing it up,
41
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.520
if they're not standing there and eating that whole meal,
42
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.759
something is not right. So if you're feeding, for instance,
43
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.319
a kibble food and you put that bowl down and
44
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.680
it sits there, all day long, and a pick piece here,
45
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.719
and two pieces there, and another piece here. That's not
46
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.520
a meal. That's not the way they're supposed to be eating,
47
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.240
because their physiology is that they need to fill that belly,
48
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.520
to expand it, if you will, because the sensors that
49
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.759
release digestive enzymes are in the folds. The folds closed
50
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.080
on itself. So if we don't expand that, we're not
51
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.240
flooding that gut with the digestive enzymes that are needed
52
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.360
to break down the food. And when that happens, of course,
53
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.680
all this food is getting into the gut undigested, where
54
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:32.240
it literally starts to rot. It's fermenting. That's why number one,
55
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.879
why dogs are so gassy sometimes. Number two, that's why
56
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.800
cat pieces is so stinky, because this stuff is literally
57
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.280
rotting in the gut. And we don't want that. We
58
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.639
want our animals to be healthy, we want them to
59
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.159
be vibrant, we want to get let them have the
60
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.560
ability to pull all the nutrients out that they possibly can.
61
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.479
And with that being said, of course, one of the
62
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.280
interesting issues that comes up a lot is the controversy,
63
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.800
if you will, between a segment of the veterinary industry
64
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.159
and the pet food industry that claims that our dogs,
65
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.079
especially are omnivores, which they're not. They're a pure carnivore,
66
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.879
but they are an opportunistic carnivore, which means they are
67
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.279
a scavenger. They can digest certain amounts of carbohydrates, but
68
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.319
on a limited basis and for a very short term.
69
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.759
That's basically to tide them over, if you will. And cats,
70
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.519
of course, are even worse. You know, when we feed
71
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.759
that dry kibble. The other problem with that is, and
72
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.720
both for dogs and cats, but primarily for cats, is
73
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.480
that it's very dehydrating to the body. As we know,
74
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.759
in order to keep the liver and the kidney functioning properly,
75
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.680
to clean out the system, we need good living water.
76
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.199
And you know, we've had several podcasts on the water quality,
77
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.199
what we recommend, the types of water, pH how it
78
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.639
is handled, and you know, you can always go back
79
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.279
in the archives, but essentially we're looking for a living
80
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.720
water and ionized water, if you will. There used to
81
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.079
be a time when that was natural all over the world,
82
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.720
or at least most of the world. If it weren't,
83
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.000
if you weren't in an area where there's natural springs,
84
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.240
which is the best source of that ionized living water
85
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.519
or natural springs. But if you're not located near something
86
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.639
like that, A great deal of our water that comes
87
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.600
from the sky in the form of rain is also ionized.
88
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.399
You know, that happens through the electrical currents that we
89
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.439
see as lightning. However, with recent activities, if you will,
90
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.519
with chemtrails and weather modification and all the garbages are
91
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.160
putting in in the air. Even if you were to
92
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.720
collect good, even if you were able to collect rainwater
93
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.519
that has got a lot of problems with it because
94
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.160
of those chemtrails, those chemicals that are infused into the air.
95
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.279
And as of recent of course, i've heard the thirty
96
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.759
some thirty plus states have pend legislation to start banning
97
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.600
the unnatural spraying of chemicals in the air for weather
98
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.120
modification or for other uses, which will be a big
99
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.120
boom if that could happen. But our planet is becoming
100
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.600
more and more polluted every day. I thought that, you know,
101
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.920
it was bad when I was a kid living in
102
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.959
the city. I grew up in Buffalo, a lot of
103
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.439
industrial areas there. I was just two blocks from one
104
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.079
of them growing up, and you know, there were chemical
105
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.759
plants and oil refineries and all kinds of manufacturing. So
106
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.040
there was a ton of pollutants in the air, in
107
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.759
the water, things of that nature, and I was exposed
108
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.120
to it all as a kid. You know. Fortunately, I've
109
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.240
made good choices throughout my life of eating healthy, eating clean,
110
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:19.839
learning about herbals and botanicals to detoxify myself. And there
111
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.480
are just so many things that we really need to do.
112
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.680
I see, we got a little bit of activity already
113
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.480
in the chat room. I will get into how to
114
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.759
clean out the gut and that sort of thing is
115
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.040
and how we can do that. As this show progresses,
116
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.959
I'm sure my producer will make sure that those questions
117
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.240
keep coming in and at the appropriate time we'll start
118
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.199
to answer them. What it was really basing this show on,
119
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.079
is this misconception or this theory, if you will, that
120
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.639
we can actually turn our pets, especially our dogs, but
121
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:57.800
even our cats into vegans or vegetarians if they're carnivores.
122
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.920
The definition of the carnivorous that they need as they're
123
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.480
part of nutrition animal based proteins and fats. There is
124
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.720
no requirement for carbohydrates. In fact, if you do an
125
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.879
AI search today, I actually one of my girls did
126
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.839
one day before yesterday, one of my customers actually and
127
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:26.519
ask what foods are necessary are essential for life? And
128
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.120
what came up, and this was for people, was animal
129
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.559
fat and animal proteins. They must be clean, though they
130
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.200
must be from good sources. No place in that recommendation
131
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.159
were carbohydrates of any shape or type, with the exception
132
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.600
of the small amount of carbohydrates that you will find
133
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.919
in animal based products. I mean there is a certain
134
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.960
small percentage of carbohydrates in them. Interesting observation that came
135
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.639
out in a study back and I think it was
136
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:02.159
nineteen fourteen, based on a meat based diet humans. The
137
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.320
main concern about eating only meat was that we're not
138
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.200
going to get enough vitamin C and we are going
139
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.279
to come down with scurvy and other health ailments. And
140
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.000
when the year's study, and this was done at a
141
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.039
prominent New York City hospital, one of the top hospitals
142
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.960
in the United States at that point in time, at
143
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.080
the end of the year, when they started running whatever
144
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.679
testing was available back then and looking at the physical
145
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:34.440
condition of the study personnel, there was no sign of scurvy,
146
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:39.200
There was no sign of a vitamin C deficiency. One
147
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.360
of the results that came out about that was is
148
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.879
that the little bit of vitamin C that is in
149
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.919
certain meats was enough to sustain our body. However, when
150
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:56.519
we added lots of carbohydrates to our diet, our necessity
151
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:02.080
for more and more vitamin C increased dramatically. We need
152
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:07.679
vitamin C and high doses to break down carbohydrates. Isn't
153
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.080
that interesting? Why has this been hidden for over one
154
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.960
hundred years. Why isn't this part of what we are
155
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.480
taught as human beings in how to stay healthy. Why
156
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.879
isn't it talked to our doctors and our healthcare professionals.
157
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.759
Now I saw a question up there. Why would somebody
158
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.759
want to feed a vegetarian or vegan food, want their
159
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.000
pets to be on it. It's their own political opinion.
160
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:43.159
Vegetarian vegan lifestyles are not a long range historic event,
161
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.399
basically up until the last one hundred years, one hundred
162
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.360
and fifty years, two hundred years in most civilizations, although
163
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:55.360
in some other civilizations they may vary quite a bit more. Basically,
164
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.679
we ate whatever we could find, and you know, when
165
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:04.159
we look at what's the veil seasonally, animals, fish, eggs
166
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.600
are available pretty much year round. Eggs not so much
167
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.240
because in the natural breeding cycle, obviously we're going to
168
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.039
see a ton of eggs of wild eggs in the springtime.
169
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:21.360
But basically you're looking at animals and fish seafood being
170
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.679
the bulk of what's available twelve months a year throughout
171
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:29.240
the world. When we come to plant life, vegetables, fruits,
172
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.440
most of them have got a very very short season
173
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.639
and therefore it's not available sometimes three, six, nine, ten months,
174
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.320
maybe eleven months out of the year. Certain crops only
175
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.159
have a one month window where where the fruit is edible,
176
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:54.399
you know, so unless an animal is able to store it. Now,
177
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.480
things like squirrels juice store nuts and bear you know,
178
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.960
nuts and some other berries and things like that which
179
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.639
will eventually dry out but still are edible where they
180
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.320
can survive during the winter months when they you know,
181
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.759
the nuts and acorns are under two feet of snow.
182
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.840
But you know, some of these animals, even like rabbits,
183
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:24.919
which are primarily a forager, they basically burrow underneath the
184
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.919
snow in order to be able to eat certain grasses,
185
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.919
not vegetables, not fruits. So when we look at our
186
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:39.320
canines and our felines, their requirement is animal based products. Now,
187
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.960
I'm going to take a little bit of a turn
188
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:49.600
here on the vegetable areas, primarily because this is very
189
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.120
very important for us to learn for ourselves, and of
190
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.720
course then use this in reference with what we're doing
191
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.519
with our pets. Most of the fruits and vegetables that
192
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.720
we are today when you walk into that supermarket, into
193
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.879
that grocery store, even into most of the farmer's markets,
194
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.799
and what is being cultivated today on our farms worldwide
195
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.480
are pretty much man made products. They are not found
196
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:23.440
in nature. You cannot find things like wild broccoli. You know,
197
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.519
you might find an ancestor of it that way it
198
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.360
was bred from, but you're not going to get the
199
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.159
food and you're not going to get the bounty that
200
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.039
you need. Same thing with corn maize, if you will.
201
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.039
The forms that we see are almost non existent. A
202
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:44.080
few root vegetables out there we can find. But again,
203
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:49.600
our wolves are wild cats. Anyone any of those wild
204
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:54.399
animals in both the canine and the feline genuses, they're
205
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.000
not digging up these plants. Now, some of them might
206
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:04.080
follow around somevares rooting type animals like boars, wild boars,
207
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.759
wild pigs that'll root up some of this stuff and
208
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.519
there might be some left on the top that they
209
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.399
haven't eaten because there was an overabundance of what they
210
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.080
dug up. Elephants will sometimes dig up plants and that'll
211
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:22.440
expose things. For the most part, what they're exposing are insects,
212
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.679
which the insectivores the birds primarily, that's what they thrive on.
213
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.639
So that's why when you see that elephant in the serengetti,
214
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.279
you know there's birds sitting on top of these elephants
215
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.759
as they're going and feeding because those animals are digging
216
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.559
up the soil, exposing all the bugs and gives them
217
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.159
a good meal. You know, our chickens do the same thing.
218
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.399
They scratch in the dirt looking for these insects. These
219
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.080
are very specialized feeders, and our dogs and cats were
220
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:57.559
very and are very specialized feeders as well. So are we.
221
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:02.320
But we have just been bombarded with convenience foods for
222
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.679
so long that we think if we're eating these man made,
223
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.399
man created roots and vegetables, that we are going to
224
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.600
be healthier. Another portion of this, though, is we have
225
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.919
to look at and we actually have to look at
226
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:19.679
our meat animals in the same light because they are
227
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:25.320
eating the vegetable matter, the plant matter to build muscle
228
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:29.240
and organs that we need to eat. Is that with
229
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.120
the monoculture form of agriculture that we are seeing today.
230
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.679
You know, fortunately there are places out there now that
231
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.480
are doing a lot more regenerative farming. But when we
232
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.679
look at this monoculture, we are depleting the soil of
233
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.720
its natural nutrients. Because there's no rotations. We just keep
234
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.039
drawing out the same minerals season after season, year after year.
235
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:55.799
And when we're replacing these using synthetic fertilizers, we're only
236
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:00.759
really supplementing for the most part with free elements. The
237
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.440
body needs literally literally dozens and dozens and dozens of
238
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:11.279
various nutrients minerals, if you will, that come from the soil,
239
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.320
and if they're not there, they become mineral deficient. You know,
240
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:20.279
our livestock, our cattle, and our sheep, our chickens, our horses,
241
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:24.080
all these animals generally speaking, anybody that has raised them
242
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.320
in the past or knows anything about farming. We usually
243
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.320
put out mineral blocks for these animals so that they
