00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:11.080
Hey, you're loved on too. It's such a compliment on

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.080
W4CY for you.

3
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.429
This is the Pet Health Guru segment, so pets are allowed.

4
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:28.949
It is where pets have a voice. Forget the humans.

5
00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:30.570
Pets have a better voice anyway.

6
00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:32.549
That's right. You want to make sure that they're heard.

7
00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:38.710
That's right. So anyway, to just, uh, finish off while

8
00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:43.049
saying everybody again, reach out to me, pipe man, radio

9
00:00:43.090 --> 00:00:47.250
and all socials. Check out the interviews from bands warp

10
00:00:47.289 --> 00:00:51.570
tour from this weekend. Tell me which interview I swapped

11
00:00:51.689 --> 00:00:53.509
shirts with another band.

12
00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:54.659
Okay.

13
00:00:54.670 --> 00:00:58.399
And the, and the shirt, it's a record label shirt,

14
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.770
stomp record. So gotta make sure to check it out. And, uh,

15
00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:06.120
I'm not going to tell you to ban. You got

16
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:09.670
to tell me to ban so you can win. Your choice. Rock,

17
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:12.489
La Homer, Aftershock, and the Pipe Man Radio Tour. Now

18
00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:14.950
we're going to switch gears a little bit. And we're

19
00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:18.069
going to talk about pets. Because pets are cooler than

20
00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:24.500
humans for the most part. But you pet owners, you

21
00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:29.219
need to beware. The health group, they need to beware.

22
00:01:34.590 --> 00:01:37.890
There are so many dangers out there for our pets

23
00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.709
that we think we're doing the right thing with. And

24
00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:45.950
that's where the danger lies. We've got medical professionals that

25
00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:49.609
have no clue about foods, diets.

26
00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:55.040
I think your dog is translating for you. I think

27
00:01:55.060 --> 00:01:57.620
your dog is translating for you in the background. Because

28
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.760
as you're talking, it's like the sign language people at concerts.

29
00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:04.730
Yes, exactly.

30
00:02:05.269 --> 00:02:08.069
That's what she does. She's telling me what to say,

31
00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:13.979
what kind of challenges that she doesn't have to succumb

32
00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:20.159
to when most of her contemporaries are being bombarded every day.

33
00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:26.050
So tell us about some of those things that maybe

34
00:02:26.129 --> 00:02:29.430
people don't even realize are a danger.

35
00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:36.460
Well, I mean, you know, first off, let's look at chemicals.

36
00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:43.789
You know, yard chemicals, household chemicals, you know, sprays, deodorants, perfumes, makeup.

37
00:02:44.069 --> 00:02:45.949
You know, women all the time with their makeup and

38
00:02:45.969 --> 00:02:49.610
the dogs licking their face. What did they just ingest?

39
00:02:50.469 --> 00:02:52.120
You know, this is the.

40
00:02:52.030 --> 00:02:54.400
Kind of thing that nobody thinks about because all this

41
00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:55.800
stuff is invisible.

42
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.840
EMS, the same thing. Chemtrails. Nobody looks up at the sky.

43
00:03:01.539 --> 00:03:02.810
Nobody cares about that stuff.

44
00:03:03.330 --> 00:03:05.689
But yet, you know, our animals, you know, they're hearing

45
00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:08.909
is what a hundred times, a thousand times more sensitive

46
00:03:08.949 --> 00:03:15.389
than ours as is their nose. And we're bombarding those

47
00:03:15.449 --> 00:03:17.409
senses on those dogs. And then we wonder why they're

48
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:22.430
acting screwy and bad behaviors and all of that. It's just,

49
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:24.750
they're fighting it 24 seven.

50
00:03:25.509 --> 00:03:25.750
Yeah.

51
00:03:26.349 --> 00:03:28.289
You know, there was, if we throw in the nutrition

52
00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:32.650
part of it, you know, the bad food, which I

53
00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:33.530
was telling somebody.

54
00:03:33.349 --> 00:03:33.990
Over the weekend.

55
00:03:34.590 --> 00:03:38.849
You know, doctors, veterinarians, they don't study, very few study

56
00:03:38.969 --> 00:03:44.810
any kind of nutrition. And nutrition isn't food. Nutrition is

57
00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:49.770
the scientific formulas behind it. Production, how it's handled, how

58
00:03:49.789 --> 00:03:55.310
it's processed is much more important than the actual vitamin

59
00:03:55.449 --> 00:03:59.180
content of something. Because if it's not in a usable form,

60
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.280
it's no good for us anyway, or our dogs and cats.

61
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.939
So I have a question real quick before we go

62
00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:10.620
on to the rest of it. I'm speaking for Juan.

63
00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:16.339
I'm his translator right now. And basically, does that also

64
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.379
hold true for his guppy that like the toxic things

65
00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:23.410
that fish get exposed to if you have fish in

66
00:04:23.430 --> 00:04:23.730
the house?

67
00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:31.079
Absolutely, because water is absorbing the gas around it as well.

68
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:37.899
So if you're using essential oils, different cleaners in your house,

69
00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:40.720
that sort of thing, that's being absorbed into the water.

70
00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:46.350
And it can have a nasty effect on the inhabitants

71
00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:48.509
of that fish tank as well.

72
00:04:49.970 --> 00:04:51.629
One of the things about nature.

73
00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:56.740
Though, and living things, we do have a certain amount

74
00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:01.290
of adaptivity that we can adapt and and fight off

75
00:05:01.310 --> 00:05:02.870
some of this stuff but in the long run it

76
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.759
still gets us all.

77
00:05:05.509 --> 00:05:09.110
So the question is then okay so a lot of

78
00:05:09.170 --> 00:05:12.250
humans that use essential oils they say it's for good

79
00:05:12.310 --> 00:05:16.470
health is it really for good health and is it

80
00:05:16.529 --> 00:05:18.310
good health for our pets.

81
00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:24.350
To be honest most of them are not because they're

82
00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:27.050
highly processed i mean i know some they claim you

83
00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:29.649
know the companies that make this stuff claim that they're

84
00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.600
safe for animals are safe for use on people but

85
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:41.720
the actual studies show the opposite it's um you know

86
00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:45.699
it's basically it It's like everything else around us. It's

87
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.220
all superficial. It's cosmetic, if you will. It's cosmetic in

88
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.939
the fact that it's a good, clean smell. Does it

89
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.860
have some therapeutic effects? Some might. Some might not. They're

90
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:03.579
going to be minimal at best. You know, when we

91
00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.639
look at pharmaceuticals as a whole, you know, on the

92
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.589
medical side, all of them came from essentially plant-based at

93
00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:15.589
some point in time. And the first step from that

94
00:06:15.689 --> 00:06:19.990
was the essential oils. So we're taking and trying to

95
00:06:20.189 --> 00:06:25.240
duplicate and magnify something in an essential oil that's normally

96
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.319
found in nature. And for what reason?

97
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.279
Make money. Something different.

98
00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:32.220
Yeah.

99
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.589
So what are your suggestions for pet owners so they

100
00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:42.290
don't have to be so beware or worried?

101
00:06:44.689 --> 00:06:47.509
Well, you know, we did a whole program on the

102
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.800
Pet Health Cafe again on the holistic way. And number

103
00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:55.139
one is making sure that the environment is clean as possible.

104
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.860
You know, you doing your part of doing the investigation,

105
00:06:57.939 --> 00:07:00.579
reading labels, that sort of thing, not only food, but

106
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:04.740
cleaning products. You know, just because a company says they're

107
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:11.399
a clean, you know, green, eco-friendly company doesn't really mean that.

108
00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:14.759
It just means that that might be less dangerous than,

109
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.860
you know, the next guy. That's all it really is.

110
00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:21.839
So you start out that way and then you don't panic.

111
00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:28.610
You know, most of the what we call diseases and

112
00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:32.110
health issues and challenges that we have are not diseases.

113
00:07:32.550 --> 00:07:37.389
They're basically symptoms of an event that's going on. And

114
00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.519
when I say an event, it's usually a short-term, you know,

115
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.180
like a 24-hour flu. You know, you could take medications

116
00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:45.839
for it, but guess what? It's still going to be

117
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.910
24 hours no matter what you do. And actually, you've

118
00:07:49.009 --> 00:07:54.350
lowered the ability, the, you know, immune properties of your

119
00:07:54.389 --> 00:07:57.949
body by taking those medications and actually can prolong that

120
00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:04.050
24-hour flu to 48, 72, 96 hours. and have other

121
00:08:04.129 --> 00:08:06.970
side effects along with it, like the diarrhea and vomiting

122
00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:07.649
and everything else.

123
00:08:07.550 --> 00:08:08.310
That drugs cause.

124
00:08:10.209 --> 00:08:14.050
So, Vaughn, what questions do you have for the pet

125
00:08:14.089 --> 00:08:17.769
health guru about this subject that we're talking about?

126
00:08:19.149 --> 00:08:20.980
Well, is there anything I have to be aware of

127
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.100
with the guppies? I mean, that's the only thing that

128
00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:27.600
really matters to me. Hashtag guppies, not puppies.

129
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.490
That's right. So there is one thing I have noticed.

130
00:08:36.250 --> 00:08:38.669
There's one thing I have noticed when I first started

131
00:08:39.009 --> 00:08:41.789
the hobby, because this is technically like a hobby, the

132
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:46.029
aquarium business. I used to get all the chemicals for

133
00:08:46.049 --> 00:08:47.970
the water to treat the water, to make sure that

134
00:08:48.009 --> 00:08:50.860
like all the pH levels were safe and everything. I

135
00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:55.500
switched from that because it was killing them like slowly.

136
00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:57.480
Like every time I would add chemicals, I would see

137
00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.019
like a couple of them like turn out there like

138
00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:03.029
a day or two later. I switched from that to

139
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:08.480
just using beneficial bacteria and letting the tank cycle and

140
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.860
adding more natural elements like grass, moss, you know, driftwood

141
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.139
and all these other things that can contribute to the

142
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.440
pH and everything else. And they've been thriving ever since.

143
00:09:23.149 --> 00:09:25.669
It's interesting, you know, you mentioned that when I started

144
00:09:25.710 --> 00:09:27.850
my career, that was one of the areas that I

145
00:09:27.889 --> 00:09:30.750
was very proficient at and helped develop a lot of

146
00:09:30.769 --> 00:09:33.870
the systems. Prior to that, we had a little box

147
00:09:33.909 --> 00:09:36.250
with a little bit of polyester foam in it and

148
00:09:36.269 --> 00:09:36.970
some charcoal.

149
00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:38.570
That was the whole filtration system.

150
00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:42.179
And then, of course, we got into the biological filters

151
00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:46.299
with the undergravels and things of that nature, working in

152
00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:52.259
conjunction with multistage external filters. And that was a whole

153
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.809
game changer right there. Everything changed. The water chemistry remained

154
00:09:58.029 --> 00:10:00.529
fairly neutral. You know, we didn't have to use a

155
00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:04.860
lot of chemicals. And then, of course, modern times, we

156
00:10:04.889 --> 00:10:08.740
decided to go back to all chemicals. And, you know,

157
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.480
that's what creates a lot of the problems.

158
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.759
But if you look at, like, man-made lakes even, right? Like,

159
00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:19.809
we don't maintain those. And there's still... fish thriving in

160
00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:22.629
there even though we don't put chemicals to clean the

161
00:10:22.690 --> 00:10:27.009
water so like why would we be doing that to

162
00:10:27.330 --> 00:10:32.570
our pets you know in the aquarium hobby yeah.

163
00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:35.620
Yeah i mean if you look you know i mean

164
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.639
uh you have here in south florida we have problems

165
00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:42.549
quite often with you know Massive algae blooms and that

166
00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.110
sort of thing that kill off literally thousands and thousands

167
00:10:45.149 --> 00:10:45.610
of fish.

168
00:10:46.389 --> 00:10:49.799
And what's the cause of it? Fertilizer from, you.

169
00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:57.519
Know, sugar plantations and that sort of thing where they're over-fertilized, over-sprayed, over-treated.

170
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.080
And that works its way down through the ecosystem into

171
00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:05.049
the water and, you know, in nature that we're battling it.

172
00:11:05.049 --> 00:11:10.070
I mean, just even building Tamiami Trail across Florida.

173
00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:14.120
Changed the whole ecology of the Everglades.

174
00:11:14.389 --> 00:11:17.299
Because now we had a dam keeping the water going

175
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.860
from where it's supposed to go. And of course, they

176
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.840
built a whole series of canals and that sort of thing.

177
00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:24.940
They dump all that wastewater into the estuaries.

178
00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:33.039
So, Pet Health Guru, how can people reach out to

179
00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:39.190
you for... more info on my Paleo Pet, Pet Health Cafe,

180
00:11:39.570 --> 00:11:41.049
and basically everything that you do.

181
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.879
Well, of course, start out with, and this is actually

182
00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.820
your best starting point, is to go on to the

183
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.820
Pet Health Cafe on YouTube, Spotify, any of the major

184
00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:59.740
things on these stations here, and start learning about.

185
00:12:01.299 --> 00:12:01.779
What we teach.

186
00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:06.029
And then, of course, taking that as a guide, go

187
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:10.330
over to MyPaleoPet, see the products that we have, MyPaleoPet.com,

188
00:12:10.710 --> 00:12:14.129
come into the store for a consultation or a phone consultation.

189
00:12:14.529 --> 00:12:16.360
Those are both available through the website.

190
00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:20.559
I'm in store at least four days a week, so

191
00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:22.840
you can always come in and have a personal conversation

192
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:26.879
with me, always willing to help. And we actually will

193
00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:31.990
evaluate where your animal is health-wise in a way that

194
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.230
The medical community doesn't even think about. It's not about

195
00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:41.509
adding more chemicals. It's about adding pure products, pure natural

196
00:12:41.549 --> 00:12:48.250
products that will help the body heal itself. Because medicines

197
00:12:48.289 --> 00:12:50.509
don't heal anything. The body has to heal itself, has

198
00:12:50.529 --> 00:12:55.330
to fix itself. It's a regenerative machine. And we just can,

199
00:12:55.590 --> 00:12:57.120
you know, we have to give it the right tools

200
00:12:57.169 --> 00:12:58.679
and get out of the way, let it do its job.

201
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.360
Is there any other final words you want to give

202
00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:07.539
our people out there that they need to be aware

203
00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:11.470
of and any other, you know, healthy advice for them,

204
00:13:11.549 --> 00:13:12.250
for their pets?

205
00:13:14.070 --> 00:13:16.149
Well, like you said, the first thing is, is these

206
00:13:16.169 --> 00:13:18.370
are a lot of these health issues and challenges or

207
00:13:18.429 --> 00:13:22.559
events don't panic, you know, because that's the worst thing

208
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.200
you can do is, you know, when you get hysterical,

209
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.779
you go to the ER and they load up with

210
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.809
drugs and everything else. And in many cases, that ailment

211
00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:33.889
would have been gone in 24 hours. I mean, emergency

212
00:13:33.929 --> 00:13:36.190
care is one thing, you know, if there's a serious

213
00:13:36.350 --> 00:13:39.580
accident or injury. But as far as these little things,

214
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.000
you know, use common sense. I know that's a very,

215
00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:48.340
very foreign term today, but we innately know what we're

216
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.059
supposed to do. We just ignore it and think of

217
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.730
what the so-called experts tell you.

218
00:13:56.129 --> 00:14:00.460
All righty. Well, As usual, you're a wealth of information.
