#41 Dr. Rob Silver has worn many hats in his holistic career, most obviously as a practicing veterinarian of four decades, but also as an author, a CBD/cannabis expert, a supplement formulator, and lately, as a medicinal mushroom expert.Join us as we discuss the vast kingdom of mushrooms and some of their amazing health properties.Rob saw early successes with cases of cancer, but discovered by further study that mushrooms are far from a “one trick pony.”From their calming influence, to curing...

#40: Against a backdrop of an admittedly wild couple of years with COVID-19, lockdowns, masking, vaccines rushed to market, and statistics that have been shown to be wildly manipulated, perhaps one of the most confusing things are self-proclaimed experts who proclaim confidently that viruses simply don’t exist.Now that I’ve had no less than three listeners wonder if that claim has any basis in fact, I think it’s time we looked more deeply into it.As one of the most fascinating diseases I’m fa...

Vital Pet Health CEO, Jason Donas joins me to give us some big news in product development.It seems my friends in Vital Animal’s “sister company” have been busy reformulating to make your animal’s immune support and detox options really amazing.Jason explains the process of micronization and why it takes an expensive machine to accomplish it. Far more than mere filtering, this process makes your pet’s supplements instantly available and fully absorbed.Practically speaking, that translates to ...

#039 When your vet pushes you into procedures you don’t want that are more risk than benefit, it’s time to FIRE him!Join me as I share a real life story (one of far too many I have) about a woman being held hostage by her vet. She was being told she had to revaccinate her already vaccinated dog in order to get insulin for this same dog. Scout’s had diabetes for 4 years…Learn why I recommend firing this vet, why more vaccines for this dog would be malpractice, and what you can do to get your n...

#037 As a homeopathic vet, I’m always puzzled when people ask if it’s safe to use homeopathic remedies after their animal has been given drugs or, in this case, vaccines.I’m really not sure what’s going through their heads in this, as the reality is there’s no safer medicine I’m aware of than these ultra diluted remedies.It’s the drugs or vaccinations I’m concerned about safety on!This episode grew out of such questions and I share with you some of the details of how remedies are made and how...

#036 Are regular blood tests on your animal giving you a false sense of security?Might there be better ways to suss out your animal’s health status?Tune in to hear how a homeopathic vet thinks about these tests and even better, suggests something that’s even more powerful. And costs nothing out of pocket!These freebies were here long before we got all fancy with measuring blood, taking radiographs and doing MRIs or ultrasounds.These “measures” are really at the heart of our survival as a spec...

#035 I think it’s appropriate to say there is no more important place to be clear about what you want than in health care. If you allow yourself or your animal to just blindly take what ever a doctor recommends, trouble will ensue. I guarantee it.This episode was inspired by a listener who knew she didn’t want vaccines for her pup. She’d already seen vaccine damage in her two children, but when she sought out holistic vets, she asked them if they vaccinated.They did.And Alesha felt stuck at t...

#034 Titer clinic: Lisa Rosamino is ready to start one now that COVID-19 pressures are letting up for her pet food buying club.She learned about titers from Dr. John Robb and me but wanted to make it easier for her many pet food customers to get that testing done easily and affordably.If your local vet has either refused to do titer testing or made them prohibitively expensive, you’ve got options. Recent reports from listeners that some vets are even refusing to draw blood for you to get a ti...

#033 The skin. Who knew your Sadie’s outer protective layer was intimately associated with her immune system?And when you shampoo her lovely skin, you are actually impairing Sadie’s immune system?Oh oh.We live in a world of “germophobia” (fear of germs), but the bottom line is, we all benefit from having healthy skin microbiomes! All those alcohol wipes and repeated washings with soap or shampoo do is mess up Mom Nature’s well-tested plans to keep us all healthy!Join me and homeopath Julie An...
