(00:30):
Cafe where your Pet has a Voice. And here's your host,
Bill the Pet Health Guru.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
And welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, the show where
your Pet Has a Voice. This is Bill the Pet
Health Guru, along with a special guest. In this week,
I'm going to have after Michael Dim, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'm doing well, Bill, how are you doing this week?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Frustrating week? Frustrating? That's all I can say. As always,
like in the beginning of the show, I want everybody
to share. Go on to your groups and share. Tell
you your buddies to get on and listen to this
because we're gonna be diving into a lot of stuff.
It's actually a part two of a two part series.
Didn't start out that way. But you know, I just
can't get doctor Dim to keep quiet. Sometimes it just
(01:16):
keeps talking, talking, talking, until the hour's gone. Not that
I contribute to anything obviously, but it go ahead and
have them share, watch it, and then of course like
it and subscribe. That's important. Like to see your comments
in the in the chat room. That's always important, even
if it's just saying hi. But I know a lot
(01:38):
of you have questions out there. We will be talking
about seizures again.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Last last week we went through a lot of the
drug and you know, the toxins in the in the
nutritional part. That was really really important, didn't we doc.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, we went through some of the general causes
and the factor from food to external that are involved
with the seizures.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yet yeah, so I think you know what we didn't
get a chance to get into is some of the
very very specifics last week. And I know I did
get some feedback from a few people, and of course,
you you know, even at the end of the show,
we might you know, you mentioned that, you know, we
pro probably have to keep this conversation going because it's
still a lot more information on it, isn't there.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yes, absolutely, yeah, And these and these cases just keep increasing,
you know, across my steps, across my door anyway, I mean,
just more and more seizuring animals. It's just really showing
you how toxic really build our animals are, and how
toxic our environment is, and how toxic it is that
we're what they're being exposed to. And you know, all
(02:46):
of those are playing a role in seizure folk.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, yeah, you know, as I mentioned to you
before the show, I mean I had I've had a
rough week and I've been doing a little bit of
battle with some of the clients because the the information
they're getting from their allopathic veterinarians, it's getting that the
claims are being much more exaggerated, that they have to
(03:10):
follow pro certain protocols and certain procedures and certain preventions.
If you will and if you don't, we're not going
to treat your animal. Even though you know some of
these things and you're aware of them. The inserts that
go into these products, the warnings talk about adverse events,
but those are not really adverse events. That's the actual
(03:34):
event that if it's in an more extreme amount, that
it's actually going to cause. And the warning labels say
do not give it to an unhealthy animal. Well, if
you're in there because your animal is sick, why would
these be demanded If.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You will about the injections or the topical world.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, actually all of them.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, you know, well, I mean, you know, there's
I mean the only there's only one injection that's legally
required in the state of Florida, and you know, if
the animal's ill, then you know, they're exempt from these things.
That's legally what the law says we're allowed to do.
So you know, I write medical exemptions all the time
for animals that you know, can't handle legally required injections,
(04:21):
and you know, I I you know, I think it's
so important because the role that these things play in
chronic disease and especially seizures, it's just it's just tremendous.
But you're right, the vets won't see these animals often
without you know, giving these things, and then we'll evaluate
your seizuring animal or or your animal diarrhea or vomiting
(04:42):
or you know, and it's just it's just so tragic.
And I really think I'm hoping in the future the
profession will eventually crack down, I mean, not the profession,
the clients will come together and hopefully be able to
get some new legislation change to you know, to get
rid of these like.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well, part of the problem with a lot of these
is not even legislation. It's actually procedures and that are
put in through the veterinary boards. And it's not necessarily
a statewide program. It could be it could be just
(05:20):
a community thing that they've gone to a town, just
like the cleanup laws. You know, when they started adding
stool hardeners to the dog food so that the proop
was hard, so you had to clean it up. And
then they went and literally petitioned the towns to make
that a requirement to pick up. And of course they
(05:42):
said it was for public health reasons. And I saw
just saw recently that in Massachusetts are trying to they're
trying to bar veterinarians from talking about public health.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Interesting, it's you.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Know, they made it this a big issue, and of course,
you know as well as I do every every animal
clinic probably in the country, when you go in, you
better take a stool sample because we have to check
for parasites because humans can get them too, and even
if they're even if the testing comes back negative, they're
so you know, doing the procedures to get rid of
them and all of that. And yet then you go in,
(06:18):
you leave the veterinarian's office, you go to your health
practitioner for yourself, you're talking about your dog and your cats,
and did they ask for a stool sample from you
to check? Did they even bring up it as a
health issue?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
No, No at all.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So if it's that important, wouldn't it be on both sides?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I would agree with that bill, you would think. But
it's not certainly a consistent standard, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, exactly. So anyway, now that you're back on the
now that I did by little rant, you know, and
you know that, you know, you've just got to keep
asking the whyse, the whyse, the wise when you're in
in the offense.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, I mean, and it's you know, the other thing
just back to what you're saying is like, you know
what happens is is you know, the vets they want
to a lot of them want to make money. You know,
That's how they're paid by how much money they generate.
A lot of the corporate owned vet practices they're paid
by the veterinarians are paid by how much they generate,
so a lot of it. So even if you come
in with that sick animal, they're going to push the
(07:24):
preventative care. They're just you know, and the testing, so
you know, in other words, they want to make money,
and so they're you know, they're looking for Hey, what's
this animal do for?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
What you know? Is this animal on heartworm medicine or
flea medicine or what you're feeding? And oh no, you
can't be feeding out. It's just you know, and here
this poor animals coming in with either a seizure problem
or a digestive issue or skin or ear problem, and
they're being talked into you know, these these dressers that
only make their presenting condition worse exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Now, just a quick on this whole thing, because we're
talking about seizures and you mentioned, you know that a
lot of these issues that that we see all the time,
a lot of are digestive issues. Are some of these
digestive issues actually gut seizures.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I do believe that absolutely the gut has got more
serotonin and neurotransmitters than the in the brain, even in
terms of you know, where where in the body you
find these things. So when the gut goes into spasm
or you know, imbalance, there are they are similar to
like you know, they are their own version of a seizure.
(08:36):
You know, the gut is its own brain, and it's
connected to the other brain, and that's the gateway to
the rest of the body and all the stressors that
you know we're talking about or that we talk about
on the show, just reek havoc on that gut nervous
system and that gut, that that microbiome of the gut,
and and that just sets up a shop for just
chronic illness and not just the brain, but a lot
(08:59):
of other organs, I mean pretty much any one of
them in the body, you know, from you know, the
skin and the and the heart, the kidneys, the uriner,
you know, the liver. I mean, it's just you know,
so the gut is really where it's at built and
you know that way, that's why we stress food and
herbs ands and you know, and so you know, it's
(09:20):
it's really that's where the most important focus, you know.
And I had a client and yesterday I said, it
starts with the food they were feeding, one of the
prescription diet you know, actually a GI diet that was
called biome and and the animal came in with anxiety
and neurologic symptoms, not seizures, but tremendous anxiety. Couldn't sit still,
(09:42):
whether it was while I was taking the history, you know,
a collie, And the first thing I said there is
it starts with the gut, and it starts with appropriate diet.
So and then we have to see what what's left
after that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So you know, I mean if you when you said
something seizure has been kind of just a you know,
assigned to the as a brain type problem, but in
realistic you know, just talking about the gut. I mean,
you know, if your if your gut, if your intestines
having a seizure, or your colon's having a seizure. You know,
they treated it as something totally different. Now, what about
(10:16):
certain heart issues, you know, rhythm and things of that
sort of thing. But isn't it possibly that a seizure
of the heart.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, I mean the heart is I was reading something
this week and that talked about the heart not being
this mechanical pump figure, but as an energetic center in
the body and is definitely predisposed to you know, those
a rhythmias that are there. That's the heart version of
a seizure. It's an out of control rhythm where the
(10:47):
heart is out of control. So what's the definition of
a seizure. It's loss of control of neural impulses. And
so they see that with heart issues and a rhythmy
is and disease are the heart. So it's very it's
the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yet they're handled totally different. When you're looking at the
medical profession, you know, they're not addressing it there like
you say, they're addressing it as a separate entity that
has nothing to do with the body.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
No, yeah, not at all. And you know, the heart
is getting a lot of you know, the you know,
recent attention in the world of holistic medicine in terms
of you know, the heart brain connection too, that there's
a you know that they have to be in sync
and if they're not and they're not coordinating with each other,
then you get disease of either. You know that they
(11:33):
communicate with each other, and you get diseases of the
of the heart, disease of the brain. And it's not
just some mechanical pump that just works separate from the
rest of the body that pumps blood out to the tissues.
It's actually an energetic an energetic essence that lives in
our body that that's part of our whole being, and
it's all one unit. Bill, It's there's not Yes, they're
(11:55):
a part for the sake of discussion, but what what
filters through our body is one uniform energy, and when
any one part is out of balance, that affects the whole,
the whole organism.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So well, I had a client asked me about plasma
infusions and that sort of thing and like to help
build antibodies. Well, the blood is basically just a transport system,
isn't it. It's not really doing the healing. It's taking
the good stuff where it's supposed to be and taking
the bad stuff away, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah. Yeah, and it's being filtered out by the spleen,
you know, which is an organ that deals with filtering
out you know, toxins and old blood cells. So yes,
it definitely it's a transport system as you put it.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And so I mean all these
things that have to work together. Now, a question that
did come up. You know, of course, we talked a
lot about triggers last week. Different you know, it's not
about specific foods, not about specific herbs. It's that overall
toxicity that's caused by so many different things. I was
(13:04):
listening to a podcast this morning, nutrition and food studies,
because everybody, of course wondering if RFK Junior is going
to flip the food the food pyramid upside down, you know,
and all of that kind of discussion. But in order
to what they came up with was in trying to
do nutritional to nutritional studies and doing supposedly you know,
(13:27):
you know, basically against the placebo or you know, what
standards would be. You know, like I said in past shows,
we can't even decide what a human diet is supposed
to look like. How you do we determine any any
other creature's diet. But when you're trying to do the food,
trying to get ideals, because the body is dynamic, the
needs are always changing, and even if you put somebody
(13:50):
on a carnivore diet or a vegan diet or whatever,
getting reliable information is almost impossible because people can't remember
what they ate, right, you know, or how much they ate.
And they found that in describing what they've eat what
they've eaten, they have no clue how much, and they
always lie about it by as much as fifty and
(14:11):
seventy five percent on themselves. Wow, Now you know you
can judge your dog a little bit better because I
gave them a cup of food, I gave him a
can of food. I gave him a pound, you know,
two half pound patties of raw. You can at least
judge that. But that's only judging what you gave them.
It's not judging at all what they need, is it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, not at all. I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
You know, I don't know what you had for dinner tonight,
but for.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Lunch usury it was. I was out with my son
and at the Pinball Museum in del Rey, so I
had some fast food there. So of course, oh, you know,
it's all they had there. So I mean, hey, you know, yeah,
a little kid in me, the little kid in me
wanted to enjoy some of the you know, but you
know what, I pay the price afterwards.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I you know, absolutely, And in fact, it was funny.
I was talking with somebody earlier, and like I said,
we don't understand even just these little bits, how the
body will take care of it. But when you look
at food and you have to look at the metabolic
density of it, what is providing you know, Oh, I'm
(15:19):
not feeding your raw anymore. Because my dog doesn't like it,
he doesn't seem enthused about it. Well, are you doing
the rotational diet? Okay, what's it changing? Is that what
he needs? Well, you know, I placed an order with
x y Z online and the dog really loved it
and he ate a lot more of it than he does.
Your food. Well, if it's got a low metabolic density,
they're gonna have to eat more, aren't they Exactly, And
(15:43):
especially if you spice it up with you know, the
sugars and the excitotoxins, and you know there's gonna be
a lot more enthusiasm. You know, wolves don't get enthused
about their meal.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
They eat Cavenger's bill, like we talk about all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, it doesn't matter what it is. Yeah, you know
how long it's been dead, how raded it is. You know,
they're just you know, so you know that part of it,
that nutritional part of it, we have to keep and
keep at the forefront. No one's going in the body.
And just because you gave a certain food or certain herb,
you know, botanical whatever and your dog hit a seizure,
(16:22):
that's not necessarily the cause.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Is it. No, No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's probably fine, Yeah, I'm sorry, it's probably far removed
from that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah. Yeah, Look, I mean, you know seizures. I mean
there's a seizure threshold in the body bill that animals
that are susceptible to seizures have, and there are factors
both internally and externally that you know, get close to
that seizure threshold, and then when the stressors reach a
certain critical point, then you get a seizure trigger. So
(16:51):
you know, I have a client to I think it's
a mutual client of ours that the dog had its
first seizure after one of the lean tick you know,
one of the was and you know, we thought that
was the answer, and once we took it off and
we detoxed it, it was going to be over. But
you know, that dog still has a susceptibility there, and
we have to be aware that there are other stressors,
(17:12):
whether it's vaccines or whether it's you know, chemicals in
the environment or you know, environmental cleaners as you talk
about in the home, uh, you know, water, air. I mean,
all of these factors can trigger a seizure in a
susceptible patient. And you know, in all of my seizure patients,
I try and make sure they have certain homeopathic remedies
(17:34):
on hand, you know, to help with an acute seizure.
But they really need chronic management and it's not just
a quick fix where you just go on a diet
and that's the end of it, because like I said,
there's a lot of complex factors involved.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, actually, it's actually one of the body defenses,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Hmm, absolutely sure. It's a symptom. Whenever we have a symptom,
build a definition of a symptom is a defense strategy
of the life or with the cheat to try and
put itself back into balance. So it's it is a
defense strategy. It's telling you the body's talking to us,
and we want to listen, not throw a hammer over it,
not suppress it with strong anti convulsions if possible. I
(18:13):
mean again, sometimes these cases are so severe that you know,
they occasionally do need medication, but for the most part,
you know, we want to try and get to these
cases before they become you know, just these time bombs
and recognize that the seizure is a warning signal that
something's up.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So we're going to be right back after this quick break.
We want to talk a little bit about what seizures
really look like. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
All right, and welcome back to the Pet Health Cafe
to show where your pet has a voice. This is Bill,
a pet health guru along with doctor Michael dimm and
we're talking about seizures again. I want you to share
this link with as many people as you can so
that we can get this word out. Unfortunately, seizures have
become such a problem, like and subscribe to us so
we can keep giving you more and more information and
(21:23):
jump in the chat say hi, ask your questions. That
just makes our job a lot easier because then we
can address specifics, and that's very very important to us,
because you know, there's so much general information. I kind
of rant a little bit in the beginning of the
program about the misinformation of being given out there in
allopathic you know staff and you know, doctors and practitioners.
(21:46):
Also on the internet. I mean, there's a lot of
bad information out there today, isn't there.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Doc, Yeah, yeah, a lot of bad information, you know,
you know, I mean people are often seeking out medical
or recommendations from you know, online chat room, social media areas,
and some of it's reliable, and some of it is,
some of it's good, and some of it is just
way off base. And so it's important to speak with
(22:11):
people like your self, Bill or balistic vet trained and
looking at you know, toxic stress factors and illness and
and seizures. So you know, it's not something you wanted,
they wanted, they should do on their own.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, I use it. I mean, when I started
doing a lot of this research. Especially on the Internet
twenty years ago or more, you could you could actually
get through and find the stuff that you know, the
studies and things like that. Now everything is you know,
bought and paid for a sponsored to when you look
at your Google search, and it's primarily drug companies and
(22:46):
pharmaceutical companies and new you know, food companies that are
basically pushing their narrative, not necessarily what's best for the.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Client, right right, there's an agenda.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It's an agenda exactly. So some of the things that
people don't realize, uh, they don't. A lot of people
don't realize what a seizure is unless the dog is
flipped over on the floor and you know, it's panting,
his legs are running, he's thrashing all over the place,
and of course at that point in time, they are
(23:17):
in absolute panic mode and which obviously seems like that's
probably the natural response most parents would have, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, But if you're looking for symptoms of seizures, were
what kind of little what are some of the little
signs that show that it's you know, there's a problem
you commonly see.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You're telling with the nervous systems.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, primarily the nervous system. Yeah, we've already touched on
the system that's diarrhea.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I mean, the essence of seizures is again the definition,
and it's the same definition as one of our injected
which I won't mention yet, but you know, it's loss
of control of neural impulses where there's lack of voluntary control,
and that can take the form of a local symptom.
(24:14):
For example, I always like the there's you know, a
syndrome and cats called hyperesthesia where their back muscles start
twitching on their own and then it's a very sense
it's like an involuntary spasm. Then the cat becomes very
distressed and then starts licking at its back and running
throughout the house. And that's a form of a seizure,
even though it's not a you know, where they're on
(24:35):
the floor, paddling and foaming and all of that. So,
you know, animals that also have these behaviors that they
don't have control over, like licking of the air or
fly striking, you know, going after flies, you know, the
imaginary flies. Animals that are licking excessively. I'm not talking
about licking from affection talking about licking the sheets and
(24:58):
the body, the skin of the guardian obsessively to the
point where they don't know, they don't have control over
what they're doing. These are all you know, full under
the category of a neurologic issue, and we can call
these versions of vocal seizures. You know, where there's and
that doesn't necessarily have to be the you know, the
grand mal, the grand mal version where again the paddling
(25:20):
and the foaming and the loss of control of the
stool and the urine. You know, an interesting other seizure
related to the heart is which we're seeing more and
more of. Interestingly, I never saw this symptom early on
in my career. When I you know, about heart disease,
it's called syncope, and that's where the animal all of
a sudden falls over and they they actually faint, you know,
(25:43):
and they their their their heart's not getting the blood
or the oxygen out to the out to the brain.
But and then there's a fainting syndrome. So again that
shows you the relationship between the heart and the brain. Again,
so again there's a loss of control of impulses where
the animal doesn't have any control either of its actions
or of its body parts.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, I mean I remember, uh. And of course you
remember because you were there when we had the animal
hospital and we were getting in tons of what I
call demonic here keys, these you know, cute little adorable dogs.
It all of a sudden just wigged out the separation anxiety,
you know, loud noise anxiety, and then wed all of
(26:26):
a sudden, something would set them off and their eyes
would just totally glass over, the teeth would come out,
and they would literally attack their pet parent, and you know,
it might last ten seconds or thirty seconds or five minutes,
and you know, the pet parents are standing there all
you know, bloody and everything else, and just as fast
as it came on, they stamp out and they're like
(26:48):
wiggling all over the place, like, what's wrong, mommy. Yeah,
that's definitely a seizure, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Absolutely? And before I forget, you know, another common syndrome
that's also a sign of injectionosis too, is the reverse
sneeze syndrome of animals. That's a throat spasm where all
of a sudden, it happens in Yorky's and toy breeds
more commonly than a large breed, but it happens, and
it can happen in any breed where it sounds like
(27:15):
the animals having an asthma attack. They're wheezing and there's
this throat you know, spasm, and that's a form of
a focal seizure. Even though they come out of it
and they you know, there's nothing going on, and we
get calls all the time from owners saying, what's going on?
What is this noise that my animals making? I mean,
how do I stop it? And again, it's a form
(27:35):
of a focal seizure that can respond to holistic treatment
with foods, herbs, homeopathy. So we wouldn't we don't want
to assume that we have to live with these things
because there are also premonitions bill a lot of animals
that have these symptoms. Those can go on and develop
because there's a predisposition there to what we're calling seizures,
(27:58):
just through a different lens. It's more focal or different
you know, version of it. But those are the animals
we see later on that if that nervous system imbalance
is not addressed or treated, those are the ones that
we will see developed grand mal seizures. As I mentioned, earlier,
the cats with the hyperesthesia syndrome. I had a had
a case you know, this week where the cat ended
(28:20):
up developing a seizure disorder. And you know, the the
old the long term history was this twitching going on
in the skin that was going on for quite a
while some animals, dogs. You probably you know this that
animals that are sleeping and they're and they're crying in
their sleep and they're paddling and people saying, oh, he's
dreaming or he's just having uh some activity. But those
(28:42):
are involuntary neurologic spasms that again, if we don't address that,
the the imbalance or the toxicity can go on and
get worse as these animals get older.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, it's it's you know, it's something unfortunately that you know,
you mentioned like the like the air licking. I mean,
we had we had a dog in the rescue that
that was, you know, crazy all the time, and of
course along with it went the scratching itching, you know,
the same symp you know again, the same thing the
(29:15):
over preventative medicines and that sort of thing that created
this condition in this dog. But we actually found that
there's a lot of different ways and a lot of
different natural therapies, if you will, that can help guide
them out of this. This particular dog just we discovered
(29:38):
by chance. I was packaging different herbs and botanicals. When
I started packaging a bunch of spirrollina, and it just
went absolutely bananas. And I started using just like a
heaping teaspoon. You know, sometimes some of the stuff you
have to use more or less, you have to kind
of play around a little bit. But I was using
a full keeping teaspoon of sperlina in the diet, and
(29:58):
all those symptoms went away.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And as soon as I could not get good quality
and we stopped it, they came right back. So it's
when even when you're doing the detox and the cleansing,
it doesn't all happen at one time, does it. I mean,
you got to be diligent. I mean, I sent over
some photos of a dog to you this week, and
it's funny talking with that client. We were going through food,
(30:21):
we were going through herbs and everything else, and it
was like ninety percent gone. Well, because it's gone, I
don't have to do it anymore for a week, and
everything came right back.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I know.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I saw and you know, it's like, so, you know,
we went back on the protein, you know, back on
what we were doing, looked at a couple of other
things as well, and for the last couple of days
the dog has been doing better. But still you have
to be that because when the animal is going crazy,
especially when it comes to if you consider herbs and
botanicals as food, if you're feeding certain natural foods and
(30:55):
this animal is just going is ravenous for it. Let's
say it's just liver or heart or you know, a
different herb or something like that. That's the body telling
you that's what it needs, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, And you know if you start restricting it because
you're oh, I don't know if that I'm supposed to
do this, you're hindering that healing process.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Absolutely, yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
It's like, you know, I use a lot of bone
brus especially with gut issues, and it's like, well, I
give them two ounces a day. How'd you come up
with two ounces?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
You know?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Where was that written? I kind of missed that memo
along the way, I guess, or you know, the dog, Oh,
it's it's ten pounds. I can only give it half
a pound of food a day. Why you ever weigh
your food? I mean you just ate fast food. How
much fast food did you eat? I mean, probably too much?
(31:52):
But you're wrong, But also you have it because we're
conscious beings. You're going like, I know I shouldn't be
doing this. I know I shouldn't be doing I'm not
gonna go back for that second burger. I'm not going
because we we try to control ourselves where our animals
are working instinctively, and you know, if you're giving them
the good, the right stuff, it's not an issue, is it.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I've never had one explode because they ate too much
good food. You know, I do gorging meals, I do
fasting meals with them, all of which are a part
of what we would get in in a natural setting.
You know, there's no Chinese buffet out there where the
wolves are. I mean, they get what they catch that
day or find that day. Same thing with cats. You know,
(32:37):
they might get a tiny lizard, they might get a
big raft, you know, and you know every day is
going to be something different. We're gonna be right back
with more information on seizures after this quick break.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
And we're back here on the Pet Health Cafe to
show where your pet has a voice. This has built
the Pet Health gurrul with doctor Michael dimm and we're
kind of running through the seizure type things part two
here and a couple of things again, Share like and subscribe,
so we keep getting this message out. It's very very
important for us to do that. Also, you know, if
(34:51):
you've got comments, questions, go ahead and pop them in
the chat room. We always love to see those. At
least that we know is that people are actually listening
watching as always a help. But one of the things
that I wanted to mention is as a pet owner,
you've got we are very very confused because there's so
much misinformation out there on foods, on medications, on preventatives,
(35:17):
you know, health plans, all this different stuff, and basically
it all comes down to what we have to really
think about every time, every day of our pet's life,
is we have to provide a good source of good
clean water, preferably something that's energized, that's ionized at least
(35:39):
well filtered spring water that's going to not going to
create havoc in the body. We also want to make
sure that we're feeding a species appropriate diet. A raw
food diet is obviously best because we're not cooking out
nutrients and changing the chemical biochemical structure of it. And
then essentially, the body will heal itself. You don't. It's
(36:03):
not about medicine. It's about the body healing itself, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Doc If it's given the tools nutritionally, herbally, like you said,
and from my perspective, the appropriate energy medicines to address
the deeper, the deep dynamic, you know, role of symptoms,
then the body will do its own thing. The life
force that governs each one of us and our animals
(36:30):
is intended to be thriving, and you know, it can
do it all about its own, and we can avoid
you know, a lot of these strong drugs and suppressive
medications and surgeries that only weaken the body further, even
though they give quick symptom relief.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
So yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I think,
as a word of advice today, whenever you're getting a pet,
and especially if you're getting one through a rescue, assume
that they've already been their their energy, their their natural
energy has already been disrupted. That you have to start
(37:07):
a good balance, you know, rebalancing program, whether through just
a diet, homeopathy, herbals, botanicals, and start with day one,
because every day that you don't make those changes, you're
adding to that that toxic load that you know, uh,
(37:29):
dynamic deficiency if you will. And so we want to
start building from the first day that you get them. Yes,
you're going to have some discomfort, You're going to have
to clean up some diarrhea, You're gonna have to clean
up some vomit, but it's going to happen down the
road anyway. So let's get it rid of it initially
and get them on the right pathway. Now, if you've
(37:49):
got a dog, and you've got a pet for a
while and you're making these changes, you know, I go
cold turkey to try to clean them out. And why
because I want the body healing as fast as I can.
I don't want to get it back into this this
biosis where the body is actually conflicting with itself. Do
I digest carbohydrates, Do I digest protein? Do I digest fats?
(38:10):
Do I ween automatications?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Some you have to because the body, Like, for instance,
if you've got a diabetic dog, you have to wean
them off the insulin so that the body will start
producing the insulin again, and you know, take that dynamic
pathway to do that. Now, with the seizures, what are
some of the treatment options? What should somebody do with
my dog went into a seizure? Do I need to
(38:33):
run to the emergency room right away?
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Well, I mean, I think you you know, we speak
about all the time. There are certain nutrients that we
can give, you know, like honey, manuka, honey, we talk
about all the time, you know, during or right after
a seizure. I mentioned earlier the homeopathic rent. Well, I
didn't mention the remedy, but there's a remedy called belladonna,
which is made from the deadly night shade plant. When
(38:57):
when it's prepared homeopathically wonderful for sudden symptoms that come
on acutely, such as seizures. And often I'll have my
clients who have dogs or cats predisposed to seizures have
that homeopathic remedy on hand and a high potency so
that you know, they can administer it when the seizures,
you know start. Of course, we know, other nutrients like
(39:21):
CBD oil and MCT oil and you know, obviously tumeric
very very good for brain inflammation. But a lot of
these things are you know, like you when if you
bring up my dog had a seizure, it's in a seizure,
what do I do? You know, we have to support
the body through it. And you know, like I said,
(39:41):
that's where a remedy like Belladonna often comes in, because
you know, and the honey and the CBD to try
and break that, break that cycle.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
So but it's not necessarily I guess what I'm driving,
and it's not necessarily rushed through the er. Yeah, because
because I mean, chances are the dog is the animal
is going to be out of the seizure before you
ever get there, which means the body is rebalanced itself,
hasn't it at that moment in time?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Okay, So your best bet then is to start on
the supportive care. Like you say, the honey. Honey is
excellent for that. I mean, I've seen many many animals
be pulled out just by administering raw honey directly during
the seizure. They just come right out of it. I've
done it with people I've done it with birds, I've
done it with dogs and cats now occasionally. I just
had one case this past week where it did not
(40:33):
do anything. The raw honey just did not work at all.
Any any views on why that would happen.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
We're all individuals, you know, Not every not every herb
or nutrient supplement is going to work on every patient.
So you know, obviously it works in a significant percentage
of them. But you know, also, you know, that's what
I said, doing a multi holistic modality approach, you know,
including homeopathic remedies. Box flower escences are very good. There's
(41:01):
a few that have a good reputation for helping with seizures,
not just the rescue remedy, you know, but there's one
called verveine v r V E r V A I
N which has a reputation for helping with loss of
neurologic control, crab apples and other flower escence which is
good for toxicity. So those are just a few that
(41:24):
come to mind. And you know, using these things, I
mean I have clients use multiple things. I haven't given
dose to CBD oil right in the middle of it,
you know, right on the gums or you know, right
to get them, try and get them out of it
as quickly as we can, and then address the chronic
issues from there, you know, through you know, foods and herbs,
(41:45):
sure other nutrients.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Yeah, so you know, I mean the approach again comes
down to good health and understanding how the body works.
And one of the one little thing that I wanted
to throw in tonight and we just we've done a couple.
It's here. But people are worried about things like dental problems,
losing cheese, and of course bacteria and you know, open
(42:11):
wounds and my dog is licking it. They're worried about
you know, all the germs in the saliva. Life is
actually part of the defense system, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's loaded with antibodies, antibiotic antibodies, anti fungals, anti inflammation.
That's why animals lick their wounds, isn't it absolutely?
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Yeah? Yeah, So, I mean it all comes down to,
you know, we talk about germs like you know that
skin case you shared with me this week. I mean,
people then switch over and say, well, I got to
kill that yeast. Bill. The yeast is the cause of
the problem. Oh, the yeast is this secondary and contaminant
that comes along and overgrows to take advantage of an
(42:51):
unhealthy terrain or an unhealthy yes no body, or a
toxic body. And so we have to shift our thinking
away from germs being involved or viruses or bacteria as
the cause of our disease. But it's actually from within
or due to these toxic stressors that we try and identify.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
You know, every every toxin has an effect on the
mineral balance. When you mess up the mineral balance, the
hormones go off. When the hormones are off, every organ
in the body is affected in one way or another
trying to compensate for it. And our job is to
just give it to tools.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Yeah, I mean lest I'm glad you brought that up.
I mean you're you're on a seizure group on social
media and that one client said, you know, should I
new to or a spae my animal? I was told
we need to do that. Oh my goodness. Removing the
sexual amongst folks is so detrimental. There's so many organ
problems and cancers, but and doing it with a seizure
(43:53):
predisposed patient would just be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
With that, with that being said, let that be our
list for tonight. You know, let's keep things going in
a homeopathic, holistic, nutritional realm. Let's get our animals healthy
and keep them healthy, start from day one when you
get that new pet. And you know, we'll keep this
discussion going on and on and on, because it Heaven knows,
(44:17):
we got enough to talk about, don't we, doctor Dem.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
We sure do.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
So how do people get in touch with you?
Speaker 3 (44:22):
Go to my website doctor Dem dot com, d O
C T O R D Y M dot com and
that has my more information on my practice, which is
much of it is done by telemedicine. My email contact
which I check, email address which I check several times
a day, so I usually get back to people rather quickly.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Okay, And that's great. And for everybody that's watching and
listening and sharing and liking, thank you, thank you, thank you,
and we will see you again next week for another
exciting edition of the Pet Health Cafe.
