speaker_2HOST
The pores in the sawyer are 0.1 microns.
speaker_2HOST
That means they physically block 99.9999% of all bacteria, like E. coli and protozoa, like Giardia.
speaker_1HOST
That is insane.
speaker_1HOST
But the real genius is the maintenance, right?
Teri M. BrownGUEST
I got a bug.
Teri M. BrownGUEST
Have you heard of Giardia?
Gabriel AldazHOST
Sure.
Gabriel AldazHOST
It lives in lakes and rivers.
Teri M. BrownGUEST
And really within about 24 hours of getting the medication, I don't feel fantastic, but I'm feeling so much better.
Teri M. BrownGUEST
By four or five days, you're fine.
Teri M. BrownGUEST
Yeah, it was like, of course, who on this bicycle trip is going to get Giardia? Me.
Gabriel AldazHOST
Good thing you recovered quickly from that.
Daphne BascomHOST
Uh-oh
Cynthia ThurlowGUEST
... and picked up a friend, that friend would be Giardia, but we didn't know it then, that set in motion a whole series of health issues that I had over the next several months, landing with a 13-day hospitalization in 2019.
Daphne BascomHOST
Yikes.
Cynthia ThurlowGUEST
And so for me, I kept saying, you know, I knew about the brain effects and the heart effects and the bone effects of the perimenopause to menopause transition, but not one person ever taught me about what was happening at a cellular level in the gut microbiome, which interfaces with every single organ system and every single cell in the body.
DudeHOST
I like the, uh, the, the, [laughs] you know how in the prescription commercials, the side effects, they, I guess they gotta say them all, but really fast.
Scotty RealHOST
I like when they say, "This is for Girardia," or whatever, "And don't take this if you're allergic to Girardia." Like, thanks a lot, man.
Scotty RealHOST
Thanks for putting that on TV.
GramboPANELIST
Ask your doctor if meth is right for you.
Chip KosherGUEST
The other one is our Happy Dog Plus.
Chip KosherGUEST
The Happy Dog Plus is going to help you with Giardia and Coccidia.
Chip KosherGUEST
um it is not a kill i'll tell you once we get the pups on the ground how to what to use to do the kill part on that but what it does is it creates an environment where those protozoa do not repopulate so we don't end up with a bunch of dehydrated puppies before we can actually treat for you know do the kill for the giardia and the coccidia so the happy dog plus the canine remove those are options that you can take They're not mandatory depending on what your regimen is, but those are things that you can do to eliminate those problems if it's not something that you have in your normal protocols.
Chip KosherGUEST
Now we can fast forward all the way up to seven days before whelping.
8 MINS LATER
Chip KosherGUEST
So if you give that at three weeks, and then you give another one at six weeks and then eight weeks, your five-way, now you've got your titer 100% complete before that puppy's gone.
Chip KosherGUEST
So that two-way vaccination is a nice little tool that just came out a couple years ago that helps people.
Chip KosherGUEST
Make sure that your pups are 100% completely vaccinated by the time they leave your coccidia and your Giardia treatment.
Chip KosherGUEST
Um, that's something that a lot of hunters don't even think about unless they get the problem, but it's real easy.
RayGUEST
Uh, Tim can talk to you more about that.
RayGUEST
It protects you against Giardia lamblia.
RayGUEST
I think-- Did I say that right, those of you that- Yeah.
RayGUEST
Uh, they call it Giardia.
RayGUEST
Just call it Giardia.
RayGUEST
It's a cyst, and in some instances, boiling won't kill it Uh, but filtration will.
RayGUEST
And livestock carry this, and in this area, they have grazing going on everywhere, and all water is suspect.
Emma MaidmentGUEST
And obviously I know every practitioner is different.
Emma MaidmentGUEST
And straight away she said, you have Giardia, you have this unique bacterial infection.
Emma MaidmentGUEST
I can get rid of them in about two weeks, but you're looking at seven years to repair the damage that you've done to your gut.
Emma MaidmentGUEST
And that was this moment of clarity of like, okay, I now know what I'm dealing with.
Cynthia ThurlowHOST
Why do you think that kinda conventional allopathic medicine doesn't place enough focus on endotoxemia? Because I feel like whether it's someone got food poisoning, like I talk about a certain book talking about how I went on this wonderful romantic trip to Morocco and got horrific food poisoning.
Cynthia ThurlowHOST
So I was prime perimenopause, and then you add in my friend Giardia, that made me very sick.
Cynthia ThurlowHOST
But why do you think there's not enough emphasis? Obviously, this is your area of expertise, talking about the microbiome, talking about these subjects, but what do you think, what do you think is contributing to this inability to get the information out to the community at large? I feel like it's still very niched, even though I...
Cynthia ThurlowHOST
in the integrative functional medicine space, we're talking about it.
HelenHOST
I mean, you would be surprised.
HelenHOST
Giardia can live in some like pretty nice clear water.
HelenHOST
That's how people often get it is they're like hiking and they're like, this looks so clean and perfect.
HelenHOST
I'm going to drink from it.
Josh DechGUEST
Um, yeah, they have their benefits, and there are some I'm fine with.
Josh DechGUEST
I mean, do I want Blastocystis hominis and all the, you know, Giardia? No.
Josh DechGUEST
I've never seen a positive Giardia infection, but I have seen a detectable level of Blastocystis hominis that is not pathogenic in nature.
Josh DechGUEST
It's not symptomatic.
Josh DechGUEST
Like C. diff, right? Nasty microbe to get overgrown, but I've seen it show up on a PCR test from Vibrant Wellness, one of these other GI map companies, but when they go to their doctor to test it, it's not there.
