00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:51,964
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: I
was invited to lecture
3
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:59,276
in 1986 And I did it on cancer.
4
00:00:59,407 --> 00:01:04,542
And I showed the cases,
showed the records.
5
00:01:04,673 --> 00:01:07,806
One of my best
friends left the room
6
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:10,853
and stood outside the
door of the lecture room
7
00:01:10,983 --> 00:01:13,247
and said, don't go in there.
8
00:01:13,377 --> 00:01:14,204
This guy is crazy.
9
00:01:18,687 --> 00:01:24,171
At that time, the wall againstalternatives was so great,
10
00:01:24,301 --> 00:01:25,041
I never had a chance.
11
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:31,134
But I kept on making
patients better.
12
00:01:40,404 --> 00:01:44,408
Every major chronic
disease is on the rise.
13
00:01:44,539 --> 00:01:47,150
I'll see you later.
14
00:01:47,281 --> 00:01:48,456
MARTY [VOICEOVER]:
And now, I'm not
15
00:01:48,586 --> 00:01:52,547
satisfied in being ableto take what I've learned
16
00:01:52,677 --> 00:01:55,376
and what I've applied
and keep it confined.
17
00:01:58,205 --> 00:02:01,599
Yes, I've been criticized.
18
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:07,910
But after 45 years,
I'm very proud knowing
19
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,260
that what we are doing works.
20
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:11,957
[dogs barking]
21
00:02:12,088 --> 00:02:13,437
MARTY: Hey, how's it going?
22
00:02:13,568 --> 00:02:14,569
Good morning.
23
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:16,788
JACQUELINE: Tilly's
here for Dr. Goldstein.
24
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,789
TECHNICIAN 1: Hey.
25
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:18,790
Hello.
26
00:02:18,921 --> 00:02:20,401
Let's go [inaudible].
27
00:02:26,842 --> 00:02:29,366
[chatter]
28
00:02:29,497 --> 00:02:31,020
JACQUELINE: Hi, how are you?
29
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,369
TECHNICIAN 1: Good morning.
30
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,328
Yeah, Beautiful question.
31
00:02:34,458 --> 00:02:35,677
TECHNICIAN 2: You ready?
32
00:02:35,807 --> 00:02:38,332
Ooh!
33
00:02:38,462 --> 00:02:40,943
MARTY: Yeah!
34
00:02:41,073 --> 00:02:43,293
JACQUELINE: Dr. Goldstein saidthat he did a brief ultrasound
35
00:02:43,424 --> 00:02:46,253
and found masses
throughout her spleen.
36
00:02:46,383 --> 00:02:47,950
They've already tried
20 different drugs.
37
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,386
None of it's worked.
38
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:53,173
So let's start using
IV vitamin C therapy.
39
00:02:53,303 --> 00:02:55,958
MARTY: With the cryosurgery,we actually freeze the tumor.
40
00:02:56,088 --> 00:02:59,266
It buys us time to work
on the immune system.
41
00:02:59,396 --> 00:03:00,832
TECHNICIAN 3: So we
have a Magna Wave here.
42
00:03:00,963 --> 00:03:03,139
Dr. Jenna is gonna giveher a Magna Wave treatment.
43
00:03:09,537 --> 00:03:10,668
JENNA [VOICEOVER]:
Her other vet was
44
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:11,800
about to put her down today.
45
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:13,149
We can help.
46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,019
And we're going to
keep moving forward.
47
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:20,461
[chatter]
48
00:03:22,811 --> 00:03:24,247
You're going home.
49
00:03:24,378 --> 00:03:25,683
JENNA: We're going
to concentrate
50
00:03:25,814 --> 00:03:29,252
on keeping him as healthyand happy as we possibly can.
51
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:31,123
That's the whole mentalitydifference about how
52
00:03:31,254 --> 00:03:32,908
we look at things differently.
53
00:03:33,038 --> 00:03:36,128
MARTY: We've gone so far outof the box other veterinarians
54
00:03:36,259 --> 00:03:37,608
call us crazy.
55
00:03:37,739 --> 00:03:38,522
JENNA: We don't want to
remove his leg if it's
56
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:39,262
something that we can save.
57
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,963
TECHNICIAN 1: OK, are yougonna come down for the consult
58
00:03:45,094 --> 00:03:47,488
or do you want to
do phone consult?
59
00:03:47,618 --> 00:03:50,273
TECHNICIAN 2: Coming in to seeJenna tomorrow at 12:00 noon.
60
00:03:50,404 --> 00:03:51,840
TECHNICIAN 3: We've got oneappointment available for Dr.
61
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:53,407
Shane for today.
62
00:03:53,537 --> 00:03:55,844
Dr. Goldstein is probablygoing to be in surgery.
63
00:03:55,974 --> 00:03:59,978
We requested a copy of aCT scan for a mutual client
64
00:04:00,109 --> 00:04:01,241
a couple of times.
65
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:02,633
And they're here for theirappointment right now.
66
00:04:02,764 --> 00:04:03,939
And we still don't
have the surgery--
67
00:04:04,069 --> 00:04:05,897
TECHNICIAN 2: Katie
is ready to go back.
68
00:04:06,028 --> 00:04:09,031
MARTY: The other doctors gavethe dog five months to live.
69
00:04:09,161 --> 00:04:09,945
That was four and
a half years ago.
70
00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:34,883
TECHNICIAN 1: I'll just
wait till she's awake.
71
00:04:35,013 --> 00:04:35,623
MARTY: This really looks great.
72
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:43,326
Cathy, can you give
me an 18-gauge needle?
73
00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:52,770
Come onsies.
74
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:53,989
Hi.
75
00:04:54,119 --> 00:04:56,600
You're a neat guy
with a big head.
76
00:04:56,731 --> 00:04:58,123
PET OWNER: The other vet
scared me because he was
77
00:04:58,254 --> 00:04:59,386
like, well, it could be cancer.
78
00:04:59,516 --> 00:05:01,649
I might need to
amputate the toe.
79
00:05:01,779 --> 00:05:03,303
Do you think that we
need to do that on his--
80
00:05:03,433 --> 00:05:04,391
No.
81
00:05:04,521 --> 00:05:07,002
Oh my god, that's
why I started getting
82
00:05:07,132 --> 00:05:08,482
really nervous that they--
83
00:05:08,612 --> 00:05:13,051
I've set my life up notonly to be a veterinarian,
84
00:05:13,182 --> 00:05:17,752
but a veterinarian that dealswith hopeless, terminal cases
85
00:05:17,882 --> 00:05:18,492
from all over the world.
86
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:25,107
Most of the animals
that we see already
87
00:05:25,237 --> 00:05:27,501
had second, third,fourth, and fifth opinions
88
00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:30,982
before they came here.
89
00:05:31,113 --> 00:05:36,423
And now we are the
very last hope.
90
00:05:36,553 --> 00:05:41,602
MARTY: Each one of these spotsis a lung tumor, must be 100.
91
00:05:41,732 --> 00:05:43,517
MARTY [VOICEOVER]:
I teach my doctors
92
00:05:43,647 --> 00:05:47,521
that you want to get to apoint where you're trying
93
00:05:47,651 --> 00:05:53,875
to support that patient's immunesystem so it could heal itself.
94
00:05:54,005 --> 00:05:55,572
This is going very well.
95
00:05:55,703 --> 00:05:57,269
Very well.
96
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,099
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: And what I'velearned over the last 45 years
97
00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:05,060
is that we have
to treat a disease
98
00:06:05,190 --> 00:06:09,456
by using conventional andalternative medicines together.
99
00:06:15,636 --> 00:06:18,900
TECHNICIAN [ON PA]: Wafflesis here for Dr. Ruskin.
100
00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:22,033
JACQUELINE: Let's see, so itlooks to me like you adopted.
101
00:06:22,164 --> 00:06:25,297
And at that point we
were 100% healthy,
102
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:26,429
you didn't notice anything?
103
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,257
He was fine at that point.
104
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:29,476
Well, we would play outside.
105
00:06:29,606 --> 00:06:30,955
He jumped up like a little--
106
00:06:31,086 --> 00:06:32,000
JACQUELINE: Yeah, a
little jumpy bean.
107
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:33,262
--jumping bean.
108
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:34,742
JACQUELINE: OK.
109
00:06:34,872 --> 00:06:38,223
And as time progressed,
he started not playing.
110
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:39,834
I tried different toys.
111
00:06:39,964 --> 00:06:42,706
He wasn't interested,
didn't chew on sticks.
112
00:06:42,837 --> 00:06:44,534
So it was like one
thing dropping off.
113
00:06:44,665 --> 00:06:46,014
JACQUELINE: You just keptseeing quality of life
114
00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:46,884
go down, down, down.
115
00:06:47,015 --> 00:06:48,408
Go down and down and down.
116
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:50,540
I had been going
to another doctor
117
00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:53,064
to get him in for
his updated shots.
118
00:06:53,195 --> 00:06:54,414
And she said he has a fever.
119
00:06:54,544 --> 00:06:57,199
So she put him on Metronidazole.
120
00:06:57,329 --> 00:07:00,594
And then I took him to my vet.
121
00:07:00,724 --> 00:07:03,597
He had them run bloodwork and some more X-rays
122
00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:06,556
and said this really
is out of my league.
123
00:07:06,687 --> 00:07:10,038
I think you should go seean internist at an emergency
124
00:07:10,168 --> 00:07:14,085
hospital whereupon she put himon Doxycycline for two weeks.
125
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:16,740
And they said you should seehim pick up after five days.
126
00:07:16,871 --> 00:07:17,654
Well, it's 14.
127
00:07:17,785 --> 00:07:18,655
And this is--
128
00:07:18,786 --> 00:07:19,613
JACQUELINE: This is still it.
129
00:07:19,743 --> 00:07:20,744
--still where we are.
130
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:24,226
And I've been loading
this dog up with food.
131
00:07:24,356 --> 00:07:25,706
I don't know where it's going.
132
00:07:25,836 --> 00:07:26,576
OK.
133
00:07:26,707 --> 00:07:28,273
You must be just overwhelmed.
134
00:07:28,404 --> 00:07:28,883
- I am.
- I can't imagine.
135
00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:30,232
I am.
136
00:07:30,362 --> 00:07:32,234
Because I look at
this, I mean, we see
137
00:07:32,364 --> 00:07:34,149
the worst of the worst here.
138
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:36,194
We get files this thick here.
139
00:07:36,325 --> 00:07:38,719
And even I'm
overwhelmed by all the
140
00:07:38,849 --> 00:07:41,548
twisting and turning
of this case.
141
00:07:41,678 --> 00:07:43,288
There seems to be things
going on everywhere.
142
00:07:43,419 --> 00:07:45,073
You know, there's possiblejoint inflammation.
143
00:07:45,203 --> 00:07:46,901
There's possible
liver inflammation.
144
00:07:47,031 --> 00:07:49,556
He was described ashaving a hunched position.
145
00:07:49,686 --> 00:07:52,384
Like, was he walking kind
of with his back arched?
146
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:53,342
PET OWNER: He had a hunched--
147
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:54,517
back arched.
148
00:07:54,648 --> 00:07:56,693
OK.
149
00:07:56,824 --> 00:07:58,869
Can we put him on the floorso I can see how he walks?
150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,740
Come on.
151
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:03,657
Come on.
152
00:08:10,272 --> 00:08:12,970
Yeah, so he is kind
of doing that arched
153
00:08:13,101 --> 00:08:14,102
walk still with his back.
154
00:08:14,232 --> 00:08:15,059
Hi, sweetie.
155
00:08:15,190 --> 00:08:15,930
Hi.
156
00:08:20,282 --> 00:08:24,852
See this, how he,
when I back him up,
157
00:08:24,982 --> 00:08:26,767
see what's happening
with his right hind leg?
158
00:08:26,897 --> 00:08:31,119
PET OWNER: Yeah, he's notreally doing anything.
159
00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:33,991
JACQUELINE: The rabies vaccineis given in the right hind leg.
160
00:08:34,122 --> 00:08:36,298
So the patients that
I've seen that have
161
00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:38,822
a rabies vaccine reaction, theright hind leg declines first.
162
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,607
Right.
163
00:08:40,737 --> 00:08:42,609
And then it gets, you know,worse-- then it progresses up,
164
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:43,740
you know, from there.
165
00:08:43,871 --> 00:08:45,176
OK.
166
00:08:45,307 --> 00:08:46,830
JACQUELINE: So the vaccines,I believe they have a place
167
00:08:46,961 --> 00:08:48,353
as far as preventing disease.
168
00:08:48,484 --> 00:08:51,792
But they shouldn't be given toa patient who is not healthy,
169
00:08:51,922 --> 00:08:54,185
otherwise they have more thanthe immune system can handle.
170
00:08:54,316 --> 00:08:56,405
And it just makes
everything snowball.
171
00:08:56,536 --> 00:09:00,104
And vaccine reactions
do get worse with time.
172
00:09:00,235 --> 00:09:02,106
And, you know, unfortunatelyconventional medicine
173
00:09:02,237 --> 00:09:04,805
doesn't really have, youknow, a treatment for this.
174
00:09:04,935 --> 00:09:06,067
But we do.
175
00:09:06,197 --> 00:09:07,242
You do?
176
00:09:07,372 --> 00:09:08,983
JACQUELINE: We do, yeah.
177
00:09:09,113 --> 00:09:11,638
Hallelujah, yes.
178
00:09:11,768 --> 00:09:14,249
Yes, so, you know,
the case, you know,
179
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:16,251
I can't promise you that he'sgoing to have the same response
180
00:09:16,381 --> 00:09:17,644
as other cases--
181
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:18,862
Aw.
182
00:09:18,993 --> 00:09:20,429
Oh.
183
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:21,299
Oh.
184
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:22,170
It's OK.
185
00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:28,916
So you're not sure
that he can be saved?
186
00:09:29,046 --> 00:09:30,744
I'm not sure that he'll
have the same response
187
00:09:30,874 --> 00:09:32,746
as other cases I've had.
188
00:09:32,876 --> 00:09:35,487
But here what we use
for this is something
189
00:09:35,618 --> 00:09:37,881
called intravenous
vitamin C therapy.
190
00:09:38,012 --> 00:09:40,492
What it does is it
helps clear the body.
191
00:09:40,623 --> 00:09:42,582
And it helps improve
the immune function
192
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:44,801
and brings that
inflammation down so
193
00:09:44,932 --> 00:09:48,413
that his body can start tofunction properly again.
194
00:09:48,544 --> 00:09:51,591
Then, you know, hopefully, we'llsee his appetite improve and be
195
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,418
able to thrive from there.
196
00:09:53,549 --> 00:09:55,159
But we need to catch it now.
197
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:56,596
You know, because
of what I'm seeing,
198
00:09:56,726 --> 00:10:00,382
it crawled up his spine,
he got the arched spine.
199
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:02,993
And it's heading up to here.
200
00:10:03,124 --> 00:10:04,604
We don't want it to get to here.
201
00:10:04,734 --> 00:10:07,607
Because when it starts to get tohere, we start to see seizures.
202
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:09,347
We start to see
more serious things.
203
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:11,088
OK.
204
00:10:11,219 --> 00:10:12,220
JACQUELINE: But, you know,we'll have to take it day by day
205
00:10:12,350 --> 00:10:15,658
and see how he does.
206
00:10:15,789 --> 00:10:17,181
I hate to ask
what the cost is.
207
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:19,619
I've spent so much
money on this dog.
208
00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:21,185
JACQUELINE: Yeah, I see that.
209
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:24,406
Typically, for a dog his size,it's 1,200 for the three days
210
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:25,276
that they're on therapy.
211
00:10:25,407 --> 00:10:26,538
That's fine.
212
00:10:26,669 --> 00:10:27,409
That's fine.
213
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:28,540
I don't care.
214
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:29,977
JACQUELINE: So--
215
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:33,589
I'm working right now
to pay for this dog.
216
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,244
The only thing I need to
do is call my husband.
217
00:10:36,374 --> 00:10:36,766
JACQUELINE: Of course.
218
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,861
OK, so she'd like totake him and they give him,
219
00:10:44,992 --> 00:10:49,474
it's called a vitamin C
therapy intravenously.
220
00:10:49,605 --> 00:10:53,217
And I would like to do it.
221
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,698
It's going to cost $1,200,but I would like to do it.
222
00:10:59,180 --> 00:10:59,920
Are you still there?
223
00:11:04,272 --> 00:11:05,534
I do.
224
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,101
And if it doesn't
work, it doesn't work.
225
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:11,627
But I really want to feelwhen I go home that I've
226
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:13,716
given him my best shot.
227
00:11:13,847 --> 00:11:14,978
JACQUELINE: So,
yeah, we're gonna
228
00:11:15,109 --> 00:11:19,983
do a chest X-ray, bloodwork, a GHP/CBC, and a T4,
229
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:22,246
actually, as well.
230
00:11:22,377 --> 00:11:25,336
And then he's
staying over night.
231
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,208
Ready?
232
00:11:27,338 --> 00:11:28,078
[laughs]
233
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:32,169
JACQUELINE
[VOICEOVER]: Vitamin C
234
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:34,563
works fantastic for somethinglike a vaccine reaction.
235
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:41,875
Some people aren't readyfor something that bizarre
236
00:11:42,005 --> 00:11:44,791
as a treatment option.
237
00:11:44,921 --> 00:11:46,270
It's difficult, even
for me, I've been
238
00:11:46,401 --> 00:11:49,012
doing this for 10 years now.
239
00:11:49,143 --> 00:11:55,410
And even for me, it's difficultto wrap my mind around it.
240
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,499
And then all I have to do istreat a patient and I'm like,
241
00:11:57,629 --> 00:11:59,675
OK, you know, there's no
way you can have placebo
242
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:03,374
effect on a dog or a cat.
243
00:12:03,505 --> 00:12:06,290
But it's gonna be IVCtonight, tomorrow, and Friday.
244
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:07,770
All right.
245
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:08,945
JACQUELINE: Unless we see amiracle in the next four hours.
246
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:13,776
JACQUELINE [VOICEOVER]: Andsometimes it doesn't work.
247
00:12:13,907 --> 00:12:17,301
But usually we get at leastbetter energy and eating, even
248
00:12:17,432 --> 00:12:20,174
if we don't solve the disease.
249
00:12:20,304 --> 00:12:21,958
And you know, always that'sthe most important thing is
250
00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:24,047
just improve quality of life.
251
00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:26,876
But a lot of times, we get morethan just better quality of
252
00:12:27,007 --> 00:12:29,618
life, we really reverse things.
253
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:30,837
All these new cases--
254
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:31,968
JACQUELINE
[VOICEOVER]: Dr. Marty
255
00:12:32,099 --> 00:12:33,404
actually is the
one that pioneered
256
00:12:33,535 --> 00:12:36,843
this in dogs and cats.
257
00:12:36,973 --> 00:12:40,324
He actually took the protocolthat was being used in humans
258
00:12:40,455 --> 00:12:43,850
and adapted it to pets.
259
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,677
Back in the day when
he started using it,
260
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:48,724
there wasn't such a thing asinjectable, sterile vitamin C
261
00:12:48,855 --> 00:12:50,204
therapy.
262
00:12:50,334 --> 00:12:52,815
So what they used to do,
I mean, this is crazy,
263
00:12:52,946 --> 00:12:55,513
but what they used to do isactually open the IV bag, pour
264
00:12:55,644 --> 00:12:57,820
vitamin C powder into thebag, and kind of shake
265
00:12:57,951 --> 00:12:59,561
it up to dissolve the powder.
266
00:12:59,691 --> 00:13:02,172
And he saw incredible response.
267
00:13:02,303 --> 00:13:03,304
MARTY: How is he?
268
00:13:03,434 --> 00:13:03,957
TECHNICIAN: It's hard to say.
269
00:13:11,616 --> 00:13:14,054
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: 1973,
right after I graduated
270
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:16,012
Cornell vet school,
I was working
271
00:13:16,143 --> 00:13:18,928
in conventional
veterinary medicine.
272
00:13:19,059 --> 00:13:21,713
I became a workaholic.
273
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,325
And I was living on junk food.
274
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:27,632
I always had heart burnand I always had headaches.
275
00:13:27,763 --> 00:13:31,245
And I became a
very sickly person.
276
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:36,337
I was diagnosed withchronic bursitis, arthritis.
277
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:40,994
It seemed that if someone
had a cold, I caught it.
278
00:13:41,124 --> 00:13:44,736
I'd go to my doctor and
I said, what's going on?
279
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:49,219
And he said, well,
you are getting older.
280
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:52,396
I was only 26 years old.
281
00:13:52,527 --> 00:13:54,398
And then he
recommended antibiotics
282
00:13:54,529 --> 00:13:57,488
and long acting steroids.
283
00:13:57,619 --> 00:14:01,188
And when I said to him, isthere any other alternative?
284
00:14:01,318 --> 00:14:04,060
No answer.
285
00:14:04,191 --> 00:14:07,498
And that got me
searching for answers
286
00:14:07,629 --> 00:14:09,457
that conventional
medicine didn't offer.
287
00:14:15,985 --> 00:14:21,556
At that time, there was no suchthing as holistic medicine.
288
00:14:21,686 --> 00:14:23,427
I had to travel
like 35 miles just
289
00:14:23,558 --> 00:14:24,951
to find a health food store.
290
00:14:25,081 --> 00:14:27,344
A little pumpkin seed oil.
291
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:28,824
Yum!
292
00:14:28,955 --> 00:14:30,260
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: And
I did a lot of research
293
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:35,570
on the biological effectsof good food, acupuncture,
294
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:38,007
homeopathy.
295
00:14:38,138 --> 00:14:40,749
Finally, I said, you
know, I got to try this.
296
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:47,930
Over time, everything went away.
297
00:14:48,061 --> 00:14:48,975
And that was the wake up call.
298
00:14:52,326 --> 00:14:57,853
What I learned is that myimmune system was dysfunctional.
299
00:14:57,984 --> 00:15:02,466
It's either suppressedor not working correctly.
300
00:15:02,597 --> 00:15:04,904
In medical school,
we learned how
301
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:07,732
to diagnose and treat disease.
302
00:15:07,863 --> 00:15:12,259
But we should also betreating the immune system.
303
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:13,956
And it hit me.
304
00:15:14,087 --> 00:15:17,438
If this works for us, whywon't it work for an animal?
305
00:15:22,051 --> 00:15:22,878
Come on, buddy.
306
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:26,403
[dogs barking]
307
00:15:26,534 --> 00:15:27,665
[phone rings]
308
00:15:29,276 --> 00:15:30,451
TECHNICIAN 1: Welcome
to Smith Ridge.
309
00:15:30,581 --> 00:15:31,843
TECHNICIAN 2: All right,
I'm just going to get
310
00:15:31,974 --> 00:15:32,888
a little bit of information.
311
00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:34,498
I know we have the
medical records.
312
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:36,979
TECHNICIAN 3: All right,the doctor will be right in.
313
00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:37,937
[snarls]
314
00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:39,155
[laughs]
315
00:15:41,114 --> 00:15:42,767
MARTY: When he vomits,
is it once a day?
316
00:15:42,898 --> 00:15:44,682
PET OWNER: Sometimes
12 times at a time.
317
00:15:44,813 --> 00:15:45,857
Oh, really?
318
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,033
PET OWNER: Yeah, it's a lot.
319
00:15:47,163 --> 00:15:48,556
MARTY: Let's start with
injectable homeopathics.
320
00:15:48,686 --> 00:15:50,036
OK.
321
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:51,907
PET OWNER: The last vet
that I went to told me
322
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:53,126
that I should start
thinking about putting
323
00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:54,562
him on the medication.
324
00:15:54,692 --> 00:15:56,956
Then missing a dose, I hearit's fatal, I've been told.
325
00:15:57,086 --> 00:15:59,741
No, I find oftentimes, youknow, we don't have to go
326
00:15:59,871 --> 00:16:00,916
down the medication route.
327
00:16:01,047 --> 00:16:02,309
Great.
328
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:05,616
What we want to do is feedthem the closest to what
329
00:16:05,747 --> 00:16:06,835
they would eat naturally.
330
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,750
So for us that's raw diets--
331
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,231
80% meat and 20%
ground-up fiber.
332
00:16:11,361 --> 00:16:14,364
If I said this to the vetthat we used in the past,
333
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:16,845
what would they say aboutwhat you're telling me?
334
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,586
It depends.
335
00:16:18,716 --> 00:16:21,589
Because in vet school theydon't educate us on nutrition.
336
00:16:21,719 --> 00:16:23,112
He's a puppy.
337
00:16:23,243 --> 00:16:25,158
And we have to be carefulwith how much food--
338
00:16:25,288 --> 00:16:28,248
JENNA: In the US,
there's only about 5%
339
00:16:28,378 --> 00:16:31,773
of practices that
offer integrative care.
340
00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:33,688
Either the people
who are studying sort
341
00:16:33,818 --> 00:16:35,168
of the holistic or
alternative say,
342
00:16:35,298 --> 00:16:37,997
no, I don't want to do
anything conventional.
343
00:16:38,127 --> 00:16:40,042
Or you have theconventional vet who says,
344
00:16:40,173 --> 00:16:41,913
no, absolutely no alternatives.
345
00:16:42,044 --> 00:16:43,132
It's OK to leave water down.
346
00:16:43,263 --> 00:16:44,655
JENNA [VOICEOVER]:
So we get consults
347
00:16:44,786 --> 00:16:46,527
from all over the country.
348
00:16:46,657 --> 00:16:51,488
Well, my local vet is unwillingto do this so I'm calling you.
349
00:16:51,619 --> 00:16:53,447
So I'm first going to putin points that kind of help
350
00:16:53,577 --> 00:16:54,622
calm her.
351
00:16:54,752 --> 00:16:55,710
Because she's a little
bit of a cranky girl.
352
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,928
[groaning]
353
00:16:57,059 --> 00:16:59,366
And I happen to
love cranky cats.
354
00:16:59,496 --> 00:17:01,846
Most people come in andtell me that their friends
355
00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:04,327
are saying, oh, you're crazy.
356
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:06,895
You shouldn't be doing
acupuncture on your pet.
357
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,592
It's a bunch of crap.
358
00:17:08,723 --> 00:17:11,639
Until you sort of
see it for yourself,
359
00:17:11,769 --> 00:17:13,815
you don't believe
that it's possible.
360
00:17:13,945 --> 00:17:16,339
She's had a great
response to it.
361
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:18,559
RANDIE: I know you weregiven a very bleak prognosis.
362
00:17:18,689 --> 00:17:19,777
PET OWNER: Yeah.
363
00:17:19,908 --> 00:17:23,259
RANDIE: Let's take
a listen to you.
364
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:26,088
Well, a consult is an hour.
365
00:17:26,219 --> 00:17:29,309
We're reviewing hundredsof pages of medical records
366
00:17:29,439 --> 00:17:32,921
sometimes for that
particular appointment.
367
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,879
I'm going to send you homewith supplements that have
368
00:17:35,010 --> 00:17:37,012
some anti-inflammatory benefit.
369
00:17:37,143 --> 00:17:38,796
It could take a
little bit of time.
370
00:17:38,927 --> 00:17:41,364
But we're definitely goingto be able to help her.
371
00:17:41,495 --> 00:17:44,541
PET OWNER: Well, she
means the world to us.
372
00:17:44,672 --> 00:17:48,415
RANDIE: It is very, very rarethat we cannot offer some hope.
373
00:17:48,545 --> 00:17:52,506
And that doesn't necessarilytranslate into a cure,
374
00:17:52,636 --> 00:17:57,206
but it translates into somethingthat is fair to the animal
375
00:17:57,337 --> 00:18:00,470
and not do anything
that is going
376
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:02,472
to make them
miserable while we're
377
00:18:02,603 --> 00:18:04,257
trying to extend their life.
378
00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:05,475
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
379
00:18:05,606 --> 00:18:06,389
OK.
380
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,347
[laughs]
381
00:18:12,134 --> 00:18:14,658
I'm hoping he'll like
my home-cooked stew.
382
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:16,138
We'll see.
383
00:18:16,269 --> 00:18:17,008
Hey, honey.
384
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:18,358
Am I bothering you again?
385
00:18:18,488 --> 00:18:19,924
You want to try something?
386
00:18:20,055 --> 00:18:21,578
Hm?
387
00:18:21,709 --> 00:18:23,363
Precious.
388
00:18:23,493 --> 00:18:24,712
What do you think?
389
00:18:24,842 --> 00:18:26,627
You wanna try that?
390
00:18:26,757 --> 00:18:27,497
Good boy.
391
00:18:32,415 --> 00:18:35,897
Good boy, honey.
392
00:18:36,027 --> 00:18:37,290
All right, I guess I got
to get him more meat.
393
00:18:45,733 --> 00:18:47,213
Oh, much better.
394
00:18:50,825 --> 00:18:51,565
Good boy.
395
00:18:55,656 --> 00:18:59,355
I like that I can't
keep him still today.
396
00:18:59,486 --> 00:19:01,009
MARTY: [inaudible]
397
00:19:02,010 --> 00:19:02,750
Where you going?
398
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,014
Come here.
399
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:09,235
So I'm seeing an
improvement in the way
400
00:19:09,365 --> 00:19:11,193
he's using his right hind leg.
401
00:19:11,324 --> 00:19:12,499
So it's much stronger.
402
00:19:12,629 --> 00:19:15,763
Number one, he's puttingmore weight onto that side.
403
00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:18,331
And you'll notice he
moves it faster than he
404
00:19:18,461 --> 00:19:22,813
was the first day, much faster.
405
00:19:22,944 --> 00:19:25,773
And he's also standing taller.
406
00:19:25,903 --> 00:19:30,995
So we've come actually a longway in the past couple days.
407
00:19:31,126 --> 00:19:32,432
His color's really good today.
408
00:19:32,562 --> 00:19:35,783
He's bright-eyed,
eating, walking around.
409
00:19:35,913 --> 00:19:37,959
And he's wagging his tail.
410
00:19:38,089 --> 00:19:41,092
That's, you know, the beginningsof quality of life coming back.
411
00:19:41,223 --> 00:19:43,486
Hey.
412
00:19:43,617 --> 00:19:45,009
Hey, look at you!
413
00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:49,405
I haven't seen you wag
your tail in so long.
414
00:19:49,536 --> 00:19:52,539
Look at that nice little
wag I got out of you.
415
00:19:52,669 --> 00:19:53,931
Oh, what's my boy doing?
416
00:19:57,587 --> 00:19:58,371
You're acting like a dog.
417
00:20:10,034 --> 00:20:10,948
Here he comes right now.
418
00:20:14,517 --> 00:20:15,692
How's he doing?
419
00:20:15,823 --> 00:20:16,954
Walking around?
420
00:20:17,085 --> 00:20:19,348
He pulled me on the leashall the way down there.
421
00:20:19,479 --> 00:20:21,742
He pulled me all
the way up there.
422
00:20:21,872 --> 00:20:24,571
And then a nurse had to comeout and say, look, you know,
423
00:20:24,701 --> 00:20:28,009
you're letting him do too much.
424
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:29,358
We're going to get you better.
425
00:20:29,489 --> 00:20:31,404
Don't you worry.
426
00:20:31,534 --> 00:20:32,579
I'll do all the
worrying for you.
427
00:20:37,932 --> 00:20:38,889
And there goes my life.
428
00:20:41,675 --> 00:20:42,719
TECHNICIAN 1: Please
give me a call back.
429
00:20:42,850 --> 00:20:44,504
[interposing voices]
430
00:20:46,897 --> 00:20:48,464
TECHNICIAN 2: Mulligan ishere for Dr. Goldstein.
431
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:56,472
We got him as a puppy.
432
00:20:56,603 --> 00:20:57,560
And we didn't know
anything was wrong
433
00:20:57,691 --> 00:21:00,520
until he just kept
drinking water as a baby
434
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:03,174
and just peed constantly.
435
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:06,482
We went to a
veterinarian clinic.
436
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:09,877
It turned out he had
compromised kidneys.
437
00:21:10,007 --> 00:21:15,404
And he was born with only 15%to 25% of healthy kidney tissue.
438
00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:17,798
MARTY: Did they have the
word renal dysplasia?
439
00:21:17,928 --> 00:21:19,365
PET OWNER: Yes, that's it.- It's renal dysplasia?
440
00:21:19,495 --> 00:21:21,192
PET OWNER: Yeah.
- Damn.
441
00:21:21,323 --> 00:21:23,847
PET OWNER: And when we askedhow long Mulligan might last,
442
00:21:23,978 --> 00:21:27,068
they said could be a week,could be a couple of months.
443
00:21:27,198 --> 00:21:29,070
Really, it was a death sentence.
444
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,985
MARTY: So basically,
he has a genetic
445
00:21:31,115 --> 00:21:34,902
or congenital predispositionfor his kidneys to fail.
446
00:21:35,032 --> 00:21:37,383
The kidney is responsiblefor getting rid of poisons
447
00:21:37,513 --> 00:21:38,558
from my body.
448
00:21:38,688 --> 00:21:40,777
So this is like a
veritable time bomb.
449
00:21:40,908 --> 00:21:44,085
Because if he's functioningon 20% of the kidney
450
00:21:44,215 --> 00:21:45,782
and he suddenly
goes down to 18%,
451
00:21:45,913 --> 00:21:47,349
he could start going
into renal failure.
452
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,481
PET OWNER: Oh,
yeah, it's all bad.
453
00:21:48,611 --> 00:21:51,005
MARTY: Now, genetic
predispositions
454
00:21:51,135 --> 00:21:53,355
cannot be changed.
455
00:21:53,486 --> 00:21:57,141
However, their ability
to manifest as a disease
456
00:21:57,272 --> 00:21:59,318
can be altered.
457
00:21:59,448 --> 00:22:04,671
So if we work on hishealth and not the disease,
458
00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:07,064
we can help the body
keep it in check.
459
00:22:07,195 --> 00:22:08,501
Right, OK.
460
00:22:08,631 --> 00:22:10,372
MARTY: It's not more
complicated than that.
461
00:22:10,503 --> 00:22:11,808
What are you feeding
him right now?
462
00:22:11,939 --> 00:22:16,247
PET OWNER: I'm told that hereally has to eat wet food.
463
00:22:16,378 --> 00:22:19,338
And he hates wet
food, despises it.
464
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:21,296
So I make stews and things.
465
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:23,124
MARTY: I like the fact
that you're cooking.
466
00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:25,082
We're going to
supplement the cooking
467
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:27,476
with supplements and remedies.
468
00:22:27,607 --> 00:22:29,913
I'm going to give
two injections today.
469
00:22:30,044 --> 00:22:34,048
And then we'll just do a routineblood test in a week or two.
470
00:22:34,178 --> 00:22:35,005
PET OWNER: OK.
471
00:22:35,136 --> 00:22:36,877
If the kidney
values are dropping
472
00:22:37,007 --> 00:22:38,444
or at least staying the same--
473
00:22:38,574 --> 00:22:39,880
PET OWNER: No, that'd be great.
474
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:40,750
MARTY: That's it.
475
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:41,621
PET OWNER: All right.
476
00:22:41,751 --> 00:22:42,578
I'm committed.
477
00:22:42,709 --> 00:22:44,885
MARTY: Mulligan,
we got work to do.
478
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:47,148
[laughing]
479
00:22:47,278 --> 00:22:50,760
[indistinct chatter]
480
00:22:56,766 --> 00:22:59,378
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: We alwaystake blood on every patient,
481
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:02,119
even if they're healthy,and put them on supplements
482
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:05,340
based on deficiencies.
483
00:23:05,471 --> 00:23:09,692
And that's because nutritionis often the underlying problem
484
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:13,740
in almost every case we see.
485
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:15,655
Take a look at the
main ingredients
486
00:23:15,785 --> 00:23:18,397
of the most popular
pet foods, and what's
487
00:23:18,527 --> 00:23:21,051
the first thing you see?
488
00:23:21,182 --> 00:23:26,927
Corn-- not the bestingredient for a carnivore.
489
00:23:27,057 --> 00:23:28,798
And if you see the first
ingredients is meat,
490
00:23:28,929 --> 00:23:31,845
you think it's the most
prominent ingredient.
491
00:23:31,975 --> 00:23:36,545
But if you add up millet,brown rice, oatmeal,
492
00:23:36,676 --> 00:23:40,157
you'll see that
70%, 75% of the food
493
00:23:40,288 --> 00:23:42,725
is actually less
expensive grain.
494
00:23:42,856 --> 00:23:44,335
ANNOUNCER [ON FILM]: I'mglad they made your Gaines
495
00:23:44,466 --> 00:23:46,468
Burgers with more real meat.
496
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:48,775
MARTY [VOICEOVER]:
Plus, in the '70s,
497
00:23:48,905 --> 00:23:53,257
we had the entire age
of the semi-moist foods.
498
00:23:53,388 --> 00:23:55,390
ANNOUNCER [ON FILM]: You'll beglad we made them taste better.
499
00:23:55,521 --> 00:23:57,436
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: You take itout of the cellophane wrapper,
500
00:23:57,566 --> 00:23:59,612
you throw it in the bowl,you go over five days later
501
00:23:59,742 --> 00:24:01,527
and it's still moist?
502
00:24:01,657 --> 00:24:05,008
I was like, what?
503
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:11,232
They had four or five chemicals,dyes, flavor enhancers.
504
00:24:11,362 --> 00:24:14,235
And guess what wasn't in there?
505
00:24:14,365 --> 00:24:18,631
It was devoid of food.
506
00:24:18,761 --> 00:24:22,025
And this is one of
the reasons a dog as
507
00:24:22,156 --> 00:24:27,509
young as Mulligan is bornwith malfunctioning kidneys.
508
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,730
So a supplement in
the highest form
509
00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:34,211
should be a concentrated
food to make up
510
00:24:34,342 --> 00:24:36,692
for the deficiencies
in the food chain
511
00:24:36,823 --> 00:24:40,130
that we passed on to our pets.
512
00:24:40,261 --> 00:24:45,092
However, even thoughthere's scientific backing,
513
00:24:45,222 --> 00:24:49,183
supplements are not part of theeveryday veterinary protocol.
514
00:24:49,313 --> 00:24:51,707
But that's something we've beentrying to change for decades.
515
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:11,379
JOURNALIST [ON TV]: Whisky,
a 120-pound rottweilers,
516
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,294
is the picture of health today.
517
00:25:13,424 --> 00:25:15,165
But six years ago,
he was stricken
518
00:25:15,296 --> 00:25:18,647
with a bowel disease that'susually fatal for his breed.
519
00:25:18,778 --> 00:25:20,388
As far as I wasconcerned, the dog was dead.
520
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:21,737
JOURNALIST [ON TV]:These are pictures of him
521
00:25:21,868 --> 00:25:24,523
then after two months
at an animal hospital.
522
00:25:24,653 --> 00:25:27,613
He had wasted away to
less than 60 pounds.
523
00:25:27,743 --> 00:25:29,615
Vets gave Whiskey
just days to live.
524
00:25:29,745 --> 00:25:31,225
But his owner went
knocking at the office
525
00:25:31,355 --> 00:25:33,270
of Dr. Martin Goldstein.
526
00:25:33,401 --> 00:25:36,360
Marty took one look at himand said I think I can save him.
527
00:25:36,491 --> 00:25:38,624
And I wouldn't believe
it for one moment.
528
00:25:38,754 --> 00:25:42,062
We figure every animal hasa chance or deserves a chance.
529
00:25:42,192 --> 00:25:43,629
JOURNALIST [ON TV]: Wheretraditional veterinary medicine
530
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:46,849
had failed, holistic
medicine succeeded.
531
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:49,069
Using homeopathicremedies and acupuncture,
532
00:25:49,199 --> 00:25:53,203
Dr. Goldstein had Whiskey on theroad to recovery within a week.
533
00:25:53,334 --> 00:25:55,162
To this day, I
think it's a miracle.
534
00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:56,598
JOURNALIST [ON TV]:
No miracle, says Dr.
535
00:25:56,729 --> 00:25:58,731
Goldstein, just nature at work.
536
00:25:58,861 --> 00:26:00,776
Trained in traditional
medicine with a degree
537
00:26:00,907 --> 00:26:02,473
from Cornell
University's Vet School,
538
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:05,085
he's become convinced
alternative medicine
539
00:26:05,215 --> 00:26:06,826
is the way to go.
540
00:26:06,956 --> 00:26:09,089
And while many traditionalvets recognize the benefits
541
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:11,091
of what Dr. Goldstein
practices, some
542
00:26:11,221 --> 00:26:13,354
do question what he preaches.
543
00:26:13,484 --> 00:26:17,619
[somber music playing]
544
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:54,090
Hey, babe.
545
00:26:54,221 --> 00:26:54,961
What?
546
00:26:55,091 --> 00:26:56,876
Come here.
547
00:26:57,006 --> 00:26:59,879
There's a guy that'swriting a blog about you.
548
00:27:00,009 --> 00:27:01,054
Oh.
549
00:27:01,184 --> 00:27:02,708
Whoa, Joey, wait.
550
00:27:02,838 --> 00:27:05,536
He says, "being
learned and experienced
551
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,235
in the use of unproven
and quack therapies
552
00:27:08,365 --> 00:27:12,718
makes one an expert only ina narrow and fundamentally
553
00:27:12,848 --> 00:27:14,415
misleading sense.
554
00:27:14,545 --> 00:27:19,072
An expert on homeopathy islike an expert on astrology
555
00:27:19,202 --> 00:27:21,117
or a long dead religion."
556
00:27:21,248 --> 00:27:23,032
MARTY: He's already madethe decision that it's bad.
557
00:27:23,163 --> 00:27:23,903
MEG: I know.
558
00:27:24,033 --> 00:27:24,773
Respond to him.
559
00:27:24,904 --> 00:27:25,644
I know.
560
00:27:25,774 --> 00:27:26,601
Well, it's a blog, I can't.
561
00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:28,124
MARTY: Oh, it's a blog.
562
00:27:28,255 --> 00:27:29,473
Is he a vet?
563
00:27:29,604 --> 00:27:31,127
I think so.
564
00:27:31,258 --> 00:27:33,652
We should contact him andinvite him to Smith Ridge.
565
00:27:33,782 --> 00:27:34,914
MEG: There's this other
thing that he says.
566
00:27:35,044 --> 00:27:37,394
He says I've talkedfrequently about the problem
567
00:27:37,525 --> 00:27:40,571
with concept of alternative
medicine experts.
568
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,008
They know a great
deal about something
569
00:27:42,138 --> 00:27:45,185
fictional, but thisknowledge is only used for--
570
00:27:45,315 --> 00:27:49,624
MARTY: Over the years, I'vebeen called so many things--
571
00:27:49,755 --> 00:27:54,063
snake oil salesman, charlatan.
572
00:27:54,194 --> 00:27:57,240
"He's not practicingaccepted veterinary medicine.
573
00:27:57,371 --> 00:28:01,854
He used to be a
good veterinarian."
574
00:28:01,984 --> 00:28:06,293
About 20 years ago, I lecturedat Cornell, my alma mater,
575
00:28:06,423 --> 00:28:08,295
and I showed them all thesebefore and after pictures.
576
00:28:08,425 --> 00:28:11,951
It went in one ear
and out the other.
577
00:28:12,081 --> 00:28:15,650
But now I have enough
before and after cases
578
00:28:15,781 --> 00:28:19,262
where you don't have to be arocket scientist to realize,
579
00:28:19,393 --> 00:28:21,961
hey, we did something beneficialto the life of that dog.
580
00:28:27,575 --> 00:28:28,794
TECHNICIAN: Dr. Jenna--
581
00:28:28,924 --> 00:28:30,099
[meow]
582
00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:31,710
OK.
583
00:28:43,243 --> 00:28:45,114
JENNA [VOICEOVER]:
This is Shadow.
584
00:28:45,245 --> 00:28:49,118
She has had significantarthritis for a couple years.
585
00:28:49,249 --> 00:28:51,425
And she's getting
Magna Wave therapy.
586
00:28:51,555 --> 00:28:53,862
All right, this is gonnafeel a little strange, kiddo.
587
00:29:00,695 --> 00:29:01,827
JENNA [VOICEOVER]: So
it's basically a very
588
00:29:01,957 --> 00:29:04,394
strong wave using magnets.
589
00:29:04,525 --> 00:29:06,483
And what it does is it pulsesthe electromagnetic field
590
00:29:06,614 --> 00:29:08,268
through the tissue.
591
00:29:08,398 --> 00:29:10,749
And as it pulses, it increasesthe blood flow to the area.
592
00:29:10,879 --> 00:29:12,533
And if we're doing
that, we're decreasing
593
00:29:12,663 --> 00:29:16,232
the inflammation to helprelieve some of the pain.
594
00:29:16,363 --> 00:29:16,798
Good girl.
595
00:29:25,676 --> 00:29:26,808
JENNA [VOICEOVER]: I
can understand Marty's
596
00:29:26,939 --> 00:29:29,202
frustration over the years.
597
00:29:29,332 --> 00:29:31,160
My father's a chiropractor.
598
00:29:31,291 --> 00:29:34,294
And I remember growing
up in that environment
599
00:29:34,424 --> 00:29:36,644
where people are like, whatdo you mean chiropractor?
600
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,689
Or what do you mean,
you know, supplements?
601
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:39,690
Or what do you mean good diet?
602
00:29:39,821 --> 00:29:41,605
And they would look at you.
603
00:29:41,736 --> 00:29:46,306
And they're like, oh,
that's not medicine.
604
00:29:46,436 --> 00:29:49,048
So I watched my father goingthrough all of the same things
605
00:29:49,178 --> 00:29:50,963
that I hear Marty talking about.
606
00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:53,313
Marty, OK if I turn out
the lights for a second?
607
00:29:53,443 --> 00:29:53,879
Yeah.
608
00:29:57,578 --> 00:29:59,406
All right, let's
take a look here, kid
609
00:29:59,536 --> 00:30:00,276
Good girl.
610
00:30:00,407 --> 00:30:00,929
It's OK.
611
00:30:07,762 --> 00:30:10,373
JENNA [VOICEOVER]: Growing up Inever imagined that being a vet
612
00:30:10,504 --> 00:30:12,288
would be all this medication.
613
00:30:12,419 --> 00:30:15,248
I imagined it would be doingthe same thing for pets.
614
00:30:15,378 --> 00:30:16,989
So that was the hardest
challenge for me,
615
00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:19,469
was getting out of
school and being like,
616
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,210
I have to go work in
conventional medicine
617
00:30:21,341 --> 00:30:22,821
where there was an
expectation that I
618
00:30:22,951 --> 00:30:26,999
would treat conventionallyacross the board.
619
00:30:27,129 --> 00:30:29,697
And if I didn't treat
with all the medications
620
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:33,266
that they thought wasappropriate, I got in trouble.
621
00:30:33,396 --> 00:30:35,181
It was hard because you
were always covering
622
00:30:35,311 --> 00:30:36,835
up a disease with medicine.
623
00:30:36,965 --> 00:30:38,880
You were never getting tothe basis of what was wrong.
624
00:30:43,189 --> 00:30:44,625
And then a very
dear friend of mine
625
00:30:44,755 --> 00:30:47,019
was like, there's a positionover at Smith Ridge.
626
00:30:47,149 --> 00:30:47,933
Why don't you go over there?
627
00:30:48,063 --> 00:30:49,891
I was like, what's Smith Ridge?
628
00:30:50,022 --> 00:30:51,197
Looked it up and
found out that this
629
00:30:51,327 --> 00:30:53,416
was a practice that
was doing exactly
630
00:30:53,547 --> 00:30:55,157
what I dreamed of doing.
631
00:30:55,288 --> 00:30:56,942
I know that's the
sore part right there,
632
00:30:57,072 --> 00:30:59,074
huh, right in your shoulder.
633
00:31:03,252 --> 00:31:05,776
JENNA [VOICEOVER]: But it comesdown again to a single practice
634
00:31:05,907 --> 00:31:10,999
versus, you know, having it asmore of a standard of medicine.
635
00:31:11,130 --> 00:31:11,870
Good girl.
636
00:31:28,582 --> 00:31:30,366
Well, I tell you, for mewhen somebody first brought up
637
00:31:30,497 --> 00:31:31,759
a holistic vet, to
me, I was like what,
638
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,761
so they can take grassand rub it all over my dog
639
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:34,980
and get my dog better?
640
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:37,243
There's 190 million
registered dogs
641
00:31:37,373 --> 00:31:40,724
and cats owned by 67% of thefamilies in the United States.
642
00:31:40,855 --> 00:31:42,813
And the scary thing is,
one out of two of them
643
00:31:42,944 --> 00:31:44,076
could die of cancer.
644
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:45,642
We've got increased
rates of cancer,
645
00:31:45,773 --> 00:31:48,994
diabetes, you know, you name it,whether it's a person or a pet.
646
00:31:49,124 --> 00:31:51,518
It's all degenerative
diseases now.
647
00:31:51,648 --> 00:31:54,564
Yeah, so in 1997,
I had a patient
648
00:31:54,695 --> 00:31:58,351
and she moved from my practicein Los Angeles to New York.
649
00:31:58,481 --> 00:32:00,527
And a mutual friend called meone day and said, you know,
650
00:32:00,657 --> 00:32:04,052
did you hear she got tied upwith this crazy veterinarian
651
00:32:04,183 --> 00:32:06,315
who's charging her,
like, a ton of money
652
00:32:06,446 --> 00:32:10,276
for vitamins and herbs and herdog has cancer, has cancer.
653
00:32:10,406 --> 00:32:11,712
And he's telling
you you can treat
654
00:32:11,842 --> 00:32:13,844
cancer with diet and herbs.
655
00:32:13,975 --> 00:32:14,933
And I was incensed.
656
00:32:15,063 --> 00:32:16,456
I was so angry.
657
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:19,502
So I thought, well, I'll getthis guy's license revoked.
658
00:32:19,633 --> 00:32:22,375
I'll get him out of ourprecious profession, right?
659
00:32:22,505 --> 00:32:23,637
So I called him.
660
00:32:23,767 --> 00:32:25,247
I called him on the phone.
661
00:32:25,378 --> 00:32:28,250
And I wanted to find outwhat his shtick was, right?
662
00:32:28,381 --> 00:32:31,601
So I said, I hear
you cure cancer.
663
00:32:31,732 --> 00:32:32,820
And I expected him
to say something
664
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:34,691
that I could nail him on.
665
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:37,216
And he said, oh no,
we don't cure cancer.
666
00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:38,391
I said, but I thought
you treated cancer.
667
00:32:38,521 --> 00:32:39,435
And he said no.
668
00:32:39,566 --> 00:32:40,871
He said what we
do is we actually
669
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:42,264
support the immune system.
670
00:32:42,395 --> 00:32:43,613
And when you make the
immune system stronger,
671
00:32:43,744 --> 00:32:45,702
sometimes really
amazing things happen.
672
00:32:45,833 --> 00:32:48,488
And I went, that's how
he gets away with it.
673
00:32:48,618 --> 00:32:49,706
That's how he gets away with it.
674
00:32:49,837 --> 00:32:51,621
So I'm like, hey,
would you mind if I
675
00:32:51,752 --> 00:32:53,014
came out sometime
and just, like,
676
00:32:53,145 --> 00:32:54,842
saw how your practice works?
677
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:56,931
And he immediately said yes.
678
00:32:57,062 --> 00:32:59,064
So I flew to New York,
go to his practice.
679
00:32:59,194 --> 00:33:01,588
And I thought there was goingto be a bunch of hippies,
680
00:33:01,718 --> 00:33:04,591
you know, all walking around,smoking dope, and hugging.
681
00:33:04,721 --> 00:33:07,768
And the hugging part is true.
682
00:33:07,898 --> 00:33:09,900
So he presents case
after case after case
683
00:33:10,031 --> 00:33:11,946
of all these cancer patientsthat are getting better.
684
00:33:12,077 --> 00:33:14,731
And remember that paralyzeddog from Northern Colorado?
685
00:33:14,862 --> 00:33:16,907
Yeah, so this dog came fromthe biggest neurologist
686
00:33:17,038 --> 00:33:18,822
in the United States,
failed on this case,
687
00:33:18,953 --> 00:33:20,172
said it was a hopeless case.
688
00:33:20,302 --> 00:33:22,913
Marty sticks like 12 needlesin this dog and the dog
689
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:25,438
gets up after being paralyzedfor like three months,
690
00:33:25,568 --> 00:33:27,440
gets up and walks
over and puts his head
691
00:33:27,570 --> 00:33:29,833
in the lap of the owner.
692
00:33:29,964 --> 00:33:31,487
And so the only
thing I could do is,
693
00:33:31,618 --> 00:33:33,576
I'm here to destroy this guy.
694
00:33:33,707 --> 00:33:35,839
He just did the biggestmiracle of my entire career.
695
00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:38,712
I actually fainted.
696
00:33:38,842 --> 00:33:40,627
You passed out.
697
00:33:40,757 --> 00:33:43,717
And so when I woke up, I hada completely different view.
698
00:33:43,847 --> 00:33:45,371
So I changed my practice.
699
00:33:45,501 --> 00:33:46,720
I changed the way
I did medicine.
700
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:50,158
I started helping moreanimals and using fewer drugs.
701
00:33:50,289 --> 00:33:52,595
And the science
is coming out now.
702
00:33:52,726 --> 00:33:55,381
I mean, we have a study that'sshowing markedly improved
703
00:33:55,511 --> 00:33:57,861
survival time for cancer
patients who receive
704
00:33:57,992 --> 00:34:01,126
the best of Western
cancer therapy
705
00:34:01,256 --> 00:34:03,389
and the best of
integrative medicine.
706
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:05,652
This is not snake oil.
707
00:34:05,782 --> 00:34:08,394
But there still is a
wall of resistance.
708
00:34:08,524 --> 00:34:09,569
The whole point of
integrative medicine
709
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:11,179
is it's part of medicine.
710
00:34:15,531 --> 00:34:17,011
TECHNICIAN [ON PA]: Dr.Goldstein, your appointment
711
00:34:17,142 --> 00:34:17,881
is in room two.
712
00:34:22,582 --> 00:34:25,150
PET OWNER: So the breeder gavehim one vaccine at eight weeks.
713
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,064
MARTY: Right.
714
00:34:26,194 --> 00:34:29,545
You did one at
13 and 1/2 weeks.
715
00:34:29,676 --> 00:34:31,982
And now I'm under theimpression that we should
716
00:34:32,113 --> 00:34:34,681
do the parvo this third time.
717
00:34:34,811 --> 00:34:35,856
MARTY: Oh, yeah.
718
00:34:35,986 --> 00:34:38,685
But after that we have
a thing called a titre.
719
00:34:38,815 --> 00:34:39,729
PET OWNER: OK.
720
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,427
A titre is a blood
test that measures
721
00:34:41,557 --> 00:34:45,692
the level of immunity generatedby the previous vaccine.
722
00:34:45,822 --> 00:34:50,740
And if it's positive, he's mostlikely protected against parvo.
723
00:34:50,871 --> 00:34:52,264
PET OWNER: Oh, OK.
724
00:34:52,394 --> 00:34:56,268
MARTY: And we can titre for mostvaccines throughout his life.
725
00:34:56,398 --> 00:34:58,835
And if he's immune, youdon't have to worry about it.
726
00:34:58,966 --> 00:35:00,620
PET OWNER: OK, I like that.
727
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:02,709
But rabies is a
different story.
728
00:35:02,839 --> 00:35:06,452
Because rabies
vaccines are mandated
729
00:35:06,582 --> 00:35:08,454
by state and federal law.
730
00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:10,195
OK.
731
00:35:10,325 --> 00:35:13,589
Now if there wasn't a tiebetween the immunosuppressive
732
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:16,940
effects of the vaccines and allthe cancer and other diseases
733
00:35:17,071 --> 00:35:18,855
we're seeing, I wouldn't
be talking about this.
734
00:35:24,034 --> 00:35:26,646
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: One ofthe most controversial issues
735
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,910
I've been fighting for isthe proper administration
736
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,392
of vaccinations.
737
00:35:33,522 --> 00:35:36,873
That's the American
Veterinary Medical
738
00:35:37,004 --> 00:35:42,357
Association, the governing bodyover the entire profession.
739
00:35:42,488 --> 00:35:47,319
"Vaccines and Sarcomas, aConcern for Cat Owners."
740
00:35:47,449 --> 00:35:50,104
The tumor grows at the
site of the vaccine.
741
00:35:50,235 --> 00:35:52,628
Because most cats get thevaccine between the shoulder
742
00:35:52,759 --> 00:35:54,369
blades.
743
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,459
So now the recommendationis vaccinating
744
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:59,331
the cat in the rear legs.
745
00:35:59,461 --> 00:36:01,594
Well, now they're
even trying the tail
746
00:36:01,724 --> 00:36:04,814
so that when the tumor
grows, you could remedy
747
00:36:04,945 --> 00:36:07,730
the situation by amputation.
748
00:36:07,861 --> 00:36:11,038
And it's not only the vaccine,it's not only the organism,
749
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:13,693
but the thing that makesthe vaccine more powerful
750
00:36:13,823 --> 00:36:14,259
called the adjuvant.
751
00:36:30,231 --> 00:36:34,757
And adjuvant is typically achemical put into a vaccine.
752
00:36:34,888 --> 00:36:36,933
It causes an
inflammatory reaction
753
00:36:37,064 --> 00:36:38,805
at the site of the injection.
754
00:36:38,935 --> 00:36:41,329
So the vaccine gets absorbedquicker into the body
755
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:44,071
so it builds up a higher
level of immunity.
756
00:36:48,554 --> 00:36:51,426
Another concern is
over vaccination.
757
00:36:54,603 --> 00:36:57,650
Because the typical puppywould get a series of three
758
00:36:57,780 --> 00:36:59,521
when they're young--
759
00:36:59,652 --> 00:37:03,482
eight weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks.
760
00:37:06,659 --> 00:37:12,317
After that, many veterinariansvaccinate every year.
761
00:37:12,447 --> 00:37:16,886
The dose is one vial
pipette, regardless
762
00:37:17,017 --> 00:37:21,848
of weight, age, or breed.
763
00:37:21,978 --> 00:37:26,244
But also the vaccine
could be up to 10 times
764
00:37:26,374 --> 00:37:28,898
the potency needed tochallenge the immune system
765
00:37:29,029 --> 00:37:31,553
of a Great Dane.
766
00:37:31,684 --> 00:37:36,341
And the same dose is givento the two-pound chihuahua.
767
00:37:36,471 --> 00:37:38,386
And it's been
scientifically proven
768
00:37:38,517 --> 00:37:41,259
that one vaccination
can generate
769
00:37:41,389 --> 00:37:44,740
immunity that lasts many years.
770
00:37:44,871 --> 00:37:49,745
So if your pet is due, haveyour veterinarian take a titre.
771
00:37:49,876 --> 00:37:54,359
And if a dog has a positivetitre against, let's say,
772
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:59,451
distemper or parvo,
then they're not "due"
773
00:37:59,581 --> 00:38:02,541
just because the calendar says.
774
00:38:02,671 --> 00:38:07,067
So I'm not saying
that I'm anti-vaccine.
775
00:38:07,197 --> 00:38:08,155
I'm pro-sanity.
776
00:38:14,074 --> 00:38:14,509
All right, come on.
777
00:38:26,826 --> 00:38:32,440
He was definitely runninga fever all weekend.
778
00:38:32,571 --> 00:38:34,268
He was drinking from the bowl.
779
00:38:34,399 --> 00:38:36,792
But now he doesn't evenwant to drink from the bowl.
780
00:38:36,923 --> 00:38:37,880
And he's not eating.
781
00:38:38,011 --> 00:38:40,970
So I'm force feeding
him water and food.
782
00:38:41,101 --> 00:38:42,798
JACQUELINE: What's hisenergy been like at home?
783
00:38:42,929 --> 00:38:44,017
PET OWNER: He doesn't
want to do anything.
784
00:38:44,147 --> 00:38:45,845
All he does is sleep.
785
00:38:45,975 --> 00:38:47,194
JACQUELINE: And he did lose alittle bit of weight as well.
786
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:48,413
Oh, I thought they
said he increased.
787
00:38:48,543 --> 00:38:50,240
JACQUELINE: No, no.
Huh-uh.
788
00:38:50,371 --> 00:38:52,939
No, he's down a little bit.
789
00:38:53,069 --> 00:38:54,723
No, I think you're doing agood job with the nutrition.
790
00:38:54,854 --> 00:38:57,422
It's he's just not absorbing.
791
00:38:57,552 --> 00:38:59,815
PET OWNER: It seems like
I'm feeding something.
792
00:38:59,946 --> 00:39:00,860
I'm feeding him.
793
00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:02,514
But it's not getting to him.
794
00:39:02,644 --> 00:39:04,646
OK.
795
00:39:04,777 --> 00:39:07,954
Tell me more about thesituation where he came from.
796
00:39:08,084 --> 00:39:10,217
You know, he originally
came from Arkansas,
797
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:12,175
and then he went
where from there?
798
00:39:12,306 --> 00:39:14,569
PET OWNER: He was abandonedon the side of the road
799
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:18,443
with his mother, a
brother, and a sister.
800
00:39:18,573 --> 00:39:20,270
And he was the
smallest of the three.
801
00:39:20,401 --> 00:39:22,577
But the two of them are healthy.
802
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:25,275
Hm, OK.
803
00:39:25,406 --> 00:39:27,016
And he how did he come here?
804
00:39:27,147 --> 00:39:30,498
He was delivered here
by some delivery truck?
805
00:39:30,629 --> 00:39:31,499
Or how did he come here?
806
00:39:31,630 --> 00:39:32,413
PET OWNER: I'm assuming.
807
00:39:32,544 --> 00:39:34,415
JACQUELINE: All
right, all right.
808
00:39:34,546 --> 00:39:37,287
So let's turn over other
stones as a possibility
809
00:39:37,418 --> 00:39:38,506
of what's going on here.
810
00:39:50,823 --> 00:39:52,868
JACQUELINE [VOICEOVER]:With Waffles, more things
811
00:39:52,999 --> 00:39:54,696
sort of came to light
that didn't really fit
812
00:39:54,827 --> 00:39:59,048
just a rabies vaccine reaction.
813
00:39:59,179 --> 00:40:02,574
When you have a patient who isso complicated, so much going
814
00:40:02,704 --> 00:40:06,099
on and you don't
have a diagnosis,
815
00:40:06,229 --> 00:40:08,231
then you start to dig a littlebit more for the rare things.
816
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:14,977
You're trying to
solve a mystery.
817
00:40:15,108 --> 00:40:18,241
That mystery changes
on a daily basis,
818
00:40:18,372 --> 00:40:20,592
sometimes on an hourly basis.
819
00:40:20,722 --> 00:40:21,810
It's almost like a
Sherlock Holmes process.
820
00:40:25,161 --> 00:40:28,295
He is coming up positive forthe fungal infection called
821
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:30,210
Blastomycosis.
822
00:40:30,340 --> 00:40:32,734
It's a rare disease in our area.
823
00:40:32,865 --> 00:40:35,824
So it's not on your radar.
824
00:40:35,955 --> 00:40:37,435
So I have a feeling
what happened
825
00:40:37,565 --> 00:40:40,699
was he came from thisvery difficult situation.
826
00:40:40,829 --> 00:40:43,876
He was exposed to this
fungus at some point.
827
00:40:44,006 --> 00:40:46,226
Then he got a vaccine
and it challenged
828
00:40:46,356 --> 00:40:48,054
his immune system too much.
829
00:40:48,184 --> 00:40:50,665
And then everything kind oftook off from from there.
830
00:40:50,796 --> 00:40:52,232
PET OWNER [ON PHONE]:
So what do I do?
831
00:40:52,362 --> 00:40:53,494
JACQUELINE: Essentially,
what we need to do
832
00:40:53,625 --> 00:40:55,365
is get him on an
antifungal medication,
833
00:40:55,496 --> 00:40:57,585
and then track his blood work.
834
00:40:57,716 --> 00:41:00,283
This can be a very
long-term treatment.
835
00:41:00,414 --> 00:41:01,981
PET OWNER [ON PHONE]: OK.
836
00:41:02,111 --> 00:41:04,636
JACQUELINE: The medicationis pretty hard on the body.
837
00:41:04,766 --> 00:41:06,638
So at some point, I wouldwant to do a C on him
838
00:41:06,768 --> 00:41:09,336
really to help him more withthe medication than anything.
839
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:11,077
Because his immune
system is working.
840
00:41:11,207 --> 00:41:12,644
It just needs help.
841
00:41:12,774 --> 00:41:13,471
PET OWNER [ON
PHONE]: What do you
842
00:41:13,601 --> 00:41:16,212
rate his chances of survival?
843
00:41:16,343 --> 00:41:19,607
JACQUELINE: It is a
very vicious organism.
844
00:41:19,738 --> 00:41:22,523
It can go to the heart andthe brain and the eyes.
845
00:41:22,654 --> 00:41:24,133
He can go blind.
846
00:41:24,264 --> 00:41:27,746
I'm hoping that we
can catch up to it.
847
00:41:27,876 --> 00:41:28,616
You did it!
848
00:41:36,145 --> 00:41:38,670
KATHY: He definitely
has a fever.
849
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,106
JACQUELINE: Yeah, he's puttingout heat like a furnace
850
00:41:40,236 --> 00:41:40,976
right now.
851
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:45,285
KATHY: You're gonna
beat this, Waffles.
852
00:41:50,595 --> 00:41:51,770
Whether you're a
person or an animal,
853
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:55,904
it doesn't matter, being
in a hospital sucks.
854
00:41:56,035 --> 00:41:59,212
And if they are alone andthey're feeling like shit
855
00:41:59,342 --> 00:42:00,735
and there's no
reason for them, they
856
00:42:00,866 --> 00:42:02,824
don't feel like a
dog or a cat anymore,
857
00:42:02,955 --> 00:42:06,654
they're just too down,
what do they have?
858
00:42:06,785 --> 00:42:08,613
They don't do that in
hospitals with people.
859
00:42:08,743 --> 00:42:10,440
There is the staff
there all the time
860
00:42:10,571 --> 00:42:12,094
in and out waking
you up, checking
861
00:42:12,225 --> 00:42:13,661
you, checking your line.
862
00:42:13,792 --> 00:42:16,098
So why wouldn't we do with ananimal that doesn't even have
863
00:42:16,229 --> 00:42:20,146
an idea of why they're here?
864
00:42:20,276 --> 00:42:21,016
You're OK.
865
00:42:21,147 --> 00:42:22,409
You're OK.
866
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:24,237
KATHY: They don't understandwhat's happening to them.
867
00:42:24,367 --> 00:42:28,371
So you have to remember that,especially when it gets crazy.
868
00:42:28,502 --> 00:42:29,851
Because there are
plenty of times
869
00:42:29,982 --> 00:42:31,461
we're crying on each
other's shoulders.
870
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:45,519
I guess if you
want to compare it
871
00:42:45,650 --> 00:42:47,869
to human medicine,
licensed technicians,
872
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,567
we are the registered nurses.
873
00:42:49,697 --> 00:42:53,396
But then on top of that,we're also the phlebotomist,
874
00:42:53,527 --> 00:42:57,749
the x-ray technician,
dental hygienist,
875
00:42:57,879 --> 00:43:00,055
the person who
places the catheters,
876
00:43:00,186 --> 00:43:01,840
the surgical assistant.
877
00:43:01,970 --> 00:43:04,233
And we are the anesthesiologist.
878
00:43:04,364 --> 00:43:05,104
Come on, Crystal.
879
00:43:05,234 --> 00:43:06,366
Wake up, sweetie.
880
00:43:06,496 --> 00:43:07,802
Come on, Crystal.
881
00:43:07,933 --> 00:43:08,586
Oh, hello.
882
00:43:12,111 --> 00:43:14,461
Two, three.
883
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:16,158
KATHY: It's definitely
not a glamorous job.
884
00:43:16,289 --> 00:43:18,639
And it's a very physicallyhard, taxing job.
885
00:43:21,729 --> 00:43:24,689
We had 144-pound
dog here yesterday.
886
00:43:24,819 --> 00:43:26,778
And had he been
aggressive, it turns
887
00:43:26,908 --> 00:43:30,346
a whole new twist on things.
888
00:43:30,477 --> 00:43:34,524
But we still keep in mind, thisis a scared animal coming in.
889
00:43:34,655 --> 00:43:37,919
They're just trusting us.
890
00:43:38,050 --> 00:43:40,095
We're old friends, right Joe?
891
00:43:40,226 --> 00:43:42,184
KATHY: Sometimes it's likebeing in a kid's daycare.
892
00:43:42,315 --> 00:43:44,143
That's a good boy.
893
00:43:44,273 --> 00:43:47,146
Hello, love.
894
00:43:47,276 --> 00:43:48,147
All right.
895
00:43:58,157 --> 00:44:01,073
TECHNICIAN: Mulligan is
here for Dr. Goldstein.
896
00:44:01,203 --> 00:44:01,943
MARTY: How is he?
897
00:44:02,074 --> 00:44:03,858
PET OWNER: He's 100%.
898
00:44:03,989 --> 00:44:05,773
He sleeps all through the night.
899
00:44:05,904 --> 00:44:08,428
He now does not pee
every three hours.
900
00:44:08,558 --> 00:44:10,517
He can hold almost six hours.
901
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:11,779
MARTY: Such a good sign.
902
00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:14,086
And I'm always ready tolook on the floor in front
903
00:44:14,216 --> 00:44:15,827
of the refrigerator because
that's his spot where
904
00:44:15,957 --> 00:44:18,960
he always pees, and it's dry.
905
00:44:19,091 --> 00:44:20,309
Amazing to me.
906
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,312
MARTY: What you'redescribing is great signs.
907
00:44:23,443 --> 00:44:25,532
So today blood work.
908
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:27,447
I'm going to give him
his favorite injections.
909
00:44:27,577 --> 00:44:29,579
I'll make adjustments if needed.
910
00:44:29,710 --> 00:44:30,537
PET OWNER: OK.
911
00:44:30,668 --> 00:44:31,799
MARTY: You brought the urine in.
912
00:44:31,930 --> 00:44:33,583
I did, fresh, the
first catch of the day.
913
00:44:33,714 --> 00:44:35,020
MARTY: Yeah, which
is really good.
914
00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:36,543
This is very exciting.
915
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:38,023
PET OWNER: You know,
everything I've
916
00:44:38,153 --> 00:44:40,765
learned from conversationsand from seeing him,
917
00:44:40,895 --> 00:44:43,115
it's a whole new
process of thinking.
918
00:44:43,245 --> 00:44:45,204
But what I don't understandis why this hasn't
919
00:44:45,334 --> 00:44:47,728
caught on in a very big way.
920
00:44:47,859 --> 00:44:50,035
It's so obvious.
921
00:44:50,165 --> 00:44:51,993
I mean, once you get
it, it's so obvious.
922
00:44:52,124 --> 00:44:56,302
MARTY: Welcome to the
struggle of my life.
923
00:44:56,432 --> 00:44:59,305
Let me examine Sir Mulligan.
924
00:44:59,435 --> 00:45:00,828
His disease hopefully
is a thing of the past.
925
00:45:07,966 --> 00:45:09,532
PET OWNER: I had
no idea what Dr.
926
00:45:09,663 --> 00:45:12,013
Marty would look like or be.
927
00:45:12,144 --> 00:45:13,972
And when I met him,
he's like, you know,
928
00:45:14,102 --> 00:45:18,280
an adorable hippie
about 25 years
929
00:45:18,411 --> 00:45:20,413
too old for the
clothes he's wearing.
930
00:45:20,543 --> 00:45:21,414
But they work somehow.
931
00:45:25,897 --> 00:45:27,289
Like a flying nun.
932
00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:29,117
Flying nun.
933
00:45:29,248 --> 00:45:30,249
I know.
934
00:45:30,379 --> 00:45:31,163
I know.
935
00:45:31,293 --> 00:45:32,120
I know.
936
00:45:32,251 --> 00:45:32,991
Hey.
937
00:45:33,121 --> 00:45:34,949
Oh.
938
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:35,907
Oh my god.
939
00:45:36,037 --> 00:45:36,777
Oh my god.
940
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:53,272
INTERVIEWER: What
attracted you to Marty?
941
00:45:53,402 --> 00:45:54,926
He made me laugh.
942
00:45:55,056 --> 00:45:57,145
And that was a huge quality.
943
00:45:57,276 --> 00:46:00,845
Because it's just, we just liketo laugh about, like, stupid
944
00:46:00,975 --> 00:46:03,195
stuff all the time.
945
00:46:03,325 --> 00:46:04,674
Well, when we go out--
946
00:46:04,805 --> 00:46:07,939
when we go out to dinner orwe go someplace with the kids,
947
00:46:08,069 --> 00:46:11,725
she introduces the four
of us as her children.
948
00:46:11,856 --> 00:46:12,552
I'd like you to
meet my children.
949
00:46:12,682 --> 00:46:14,380
Yes.
950
00:46:14,510 --> 00:46:15,250
My youngest.
951
00:46:15,381 --> 00:46:15,816
Right, right.
952
00:46:19,951 --> 00:46:22,954
[indistinct chatter]
953
00:46:27,219 --> 00:46:29,830
MEG [VOICEOVER]: We have
three girls, teenagers,
954
00:46:29,961 --> 00:46:35,357
four dogs, one 20-year-old cat.
955
00:46:35,488 --> 00:46:38,708
We have two lizards.
956
00:46:38,839 --> 00:46:41,407
And we have a parakeet.
957
00:46:41,537 --> 00:46:43,670
We have a bunny.
958
00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:44,279
We have eight chickens.
959
00:46:47,065 --> 00:46:49,894
I'm not sure if we
have more animals
960
00:46:50,024 --> 00:46:51,983
at home or at the clinic.
961
00:46:52,113 --> 00:46:53,506
[laughing]
962
00:46:53,636 --> 00:46:54,768
Come on, Red.
963
00:46:54,899 --> 00:46:57,902
Red, come on.
964
00:46:58,032 --> 00:47:00,252
MEG: Working together,
it's not always,
965
00:47:00,382 --> 00:47:02,210
you know, peaches and cream.
966
00:47:02,341 --> 00:47:04,865
But we've always believedthat if you're working
967
00:47:04,996 --> 00:47:07,128
towards the same
goal, then it doesn't
968
00:47:07,259 --> 00:47:09,478
matter who goes what direction.
969
00:47:09,609 --> 00:47:10,436
Let's just get there.
970
00:47:10,566 --> 00:47:11,002
MARTY: Exactly.
971
00:47:16,007 --> 00:47:18,183
When we first
started to date, she
972
00:47:18,313 --> 00:47:20,359
used to come over to my house.
973
00:47:20,489 --> 00:47:23,144
My animals liked
her better than me.
974
00:47:23,275 --> 00:47:26,147
And I watched that,
even at the clinic,
975
00:47:26,278 --> 00:47:29,847
I watched how she had
a way with animals
976
00:47:29,977 --> 00:47:31,718
or they had an affinity for her.
977
00:47:34,895 --> 00:47:38,290
MEG: That's when I first startedat Smith Ridge back in 1996.
978
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:39,682
MARTY: That was the
old one, the shack.
979
00:47:39,813 --> 00:47:41,249
MEG: The old Smith Ridge clinic.
980
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:42,250
Officially known
as "the shack."
981
00:47:47,516 --> 00:47:50,128
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: Becauseintegrative medicine was not
982
00:47:50,258 --> 00:47:53,435
an accepted modality,
it was hard for me
983
00:47:53,566 --> 00:47:56,569
to work at that standard
veterinary hospital.
984
00:47:56,699 --> 00:47:59,485
So I wound up having
to go out on my own.
985
00:47:59,615 --> 00:48:05,708
And in 1982, my first
practice was a kennel
986
00:48:05,839 --> 00:48:08,146
that I rented space in.
987
00:48:08,276 --> 00:48:11,453
Because that's all
I could afford.
988
00:48:11,584 --> 00:48:16,241
My exam room became
my surgery room.
989
00:48:16,371 --> 00:48:19,592
MEG: Our bathroom wasthe X-ray developer room.
990
00:48:19,722 --> 00:48:21,507
So if somebody wasdeveloping an X-ray film,
991
00:48:21,637 --> 00:48:22,508
you couldn't use the bathroom.
992
00:48:22,638 --> 00:48:24,553
MARTY: You couldn't bathroom.
993
00:48:24,684 --> 00:48:27,382
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: So whenwe started to get patients,
994
00:48:27,513 --> 00:48:30,211
people would walk into thisplace, they would look around,
995
00:48:30,342 --> 00:48:33,693
and they would ask if they
had the wrong address.
996
00:48:33,823 --> 00:48:35,477
Boy, we've come a long way.
997
00:48:35,608 --> 00:48:36,739
MEG: Long way.
998
00:48:36,870 --> 00:48:37,697
MARTY: Wow.
999
00:48:37,827 --> 00:48:38,567
MEG: Wow.
1000
00:48:43,616 --> 00:48:45,444
TECHNICIAN 1: --be quick,and pick-up time is generally
1001
00:48:45,574 --> 00:48:47,228
between 4:30 and 5:00.
1002
00:48:47,359 --> 00:48:48,795
[inaudible] when he wakes up.
1003
00:48:48,926 --> 00:48:50,188
TECHNICIAN 2: SmithRidge, this is [inaudible]
1004
00:48:50,318 --> 00:48:51,189
How can I help you?
1005
00:48:59,893 --> 00:49:01,416
RANDIE: I'm Dr. Shane.
JENNIFER: Hi, Dr. Shane.
1006
00:49:01,547 --> 00:49:02,417
RANDIE: Hi there.
JENNIFER: I'm Jennifer.
1007
00:49:02,548 --> 00:49:03,462
- Hi there.
- Hi.
1008
00:49:03,592 --> 00:49:04,637
Nice to meet you.
1009
00:49:04,767 --> 00:49:06,508
Hi, Petey.
1010
00:49:06,639 --> 00:49:08,336
All right.
1011
00:49:08,467 --> 00:49:11,296
So tell me about theconsults that you've had.
1012
00:49:11,426 --> 00:49:13,037
- Well, he's been to five vets.
- OK.
1013
00:49:13,167 --> 00:49:14,168
JENNIFER: And it
all started when
1014
00:49:14,299 --> 00:49:16,823
he got shots on a Wednesday.
1015
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:18,520
I he had a tumor on Friday.
1016
00:49:18,651 --> 00:49:19,957
And then I brought him backto the vet on Saturday.
1017
00:49:20,087 --> 00:49:21,132
PET OWNER: He never
had it before.
1018
00:49:21,262 --> 00:49:23,090
It was a lump.- And he was drooling crazy.
1019
00:49:23,221 --> 00:49:25,049
And he had a runny
nose after the shots,
1020
00:49:25,179 --> 00:49:25,963
like a few days later.
1021
00:49:26,093 --> 00:49:27,355
RANDIE: So he had a reaction.
1022
00:49:27,486 --> 00:49:31,011
So he was vaccinated withoutany discussion about it?
1023
00:49:31,142 --> 00:49:32,752
They're like, oh, he's duefor this, this, and this.
1024
00:49:32,882 --> 00:49:34,101
And I was kind of
like, all right,
1025
00:49:34,232 --> 00:49:36,103
get her done while I'm here.
1026
00:49:36,234 --> 00:49:38,540
And then not realizing,
they, you know--
1027
00:49:38,671 --> 00:49:40,064
They gave him the flu shot,the kennel cough vaccine--
1028
00:49:40,194 --> 00:49:41,195
They gave him a flu, a lep--
1029
00:49:41,326 --> 00:49:42,631
Leptospirosis, right.
1030
00:49:42,762 --> 00:49:44,068
And a kennel.
1031
00:49:44,198 --> 00:49:46,026
Would that trigger that
to make it grow or--
1032
00:49:46,157 --> 00:49:49,247
RANDIE: I can't imagine thatthat happened in just 48 hours.
1033
00:49:49,377 --> 00:49:50,944
JENNIFER: That's what
all the other vets said.
1034
00:49:51,075 --> 00:49:52,467
But it's hard for me
not to believe it.
1035
00:49:52,598 --> 00:49:53,599
RANDIE: Right.
1036
00:49:53,729 --> 00:49:56,297
JENNIFER: So then I went back.
1037
00:49:56,428 --> 00:49:59,170
She said I don't knowwhat's wrong with his mouth.
1038
00:49:59,300 --> 00:50:01,215
Then he went to New
Jersey with her.
1039
00:50:01,346 --> 00:50:02,477
He goes on vacation, this dog.
1040
00:50:02,608 --> 00:50:03,739
RANDIE: OK, that's awesome.
1041
00:50:03,870 --> 00:50:05,611
JENNIFER: So then he wentto a vet in New Jersey.
1042
00:50:05,741 --> 00:50:07,830
And he called a week laterand said that it was cancer.
1043
00:50:07,961 --> 00:50:08,701
Yeah.
1044
00:50:08,831 --> 00:50:10,442
OK.
1045
00:50:10,572 --> 00:50:13,836
They said they would mostlikely have to remove his jaw
1046
00:50:13,967 --> 00:50:15,664
and he would be deformed.
1047
00:50:15,795 --> 00:50:19,451
I said, no, just, you know,let me just think about it.
1048
00:50:19,581 --> 00:50:21,366
And then I met a
woman in the park.
1049
00:50:21,496 --> 00:50:24,282
And she said, oh, did youtalk to Marty Goldstein.
1050
00:50:24,412 --> 00:50:28,808
Because he'll do anythingnot to cut it out.
1051
00:50:28,938 --> 00:50:30,766
And I don't know what her namewas, just a woman at the dog
1052
00:50:30,897 --> 00:50:32,638
park told me about you.
1053
00:50:32,768 --> 00:50:34,031
OK.
1054
00:50:34,161 --> 00:50:35,989
All right, let's get
a good look at you.
1055
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,208
You wanna lay down, honey?
1056
00:50:37,338 --> 00:50:38,470
Go ahead, lay down.
1057
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,647
Oh, you're the best.
1058
00:50:41,777 --> 00:50:43,388
Oh, you're the best patient.
1059
00:50:43,518 --> 00:50:44,606
Plus, the sore
is on this side.
1060
00:50:44,737 --> 00:50:45,477
Yeah, OK.
1061
00:50:45,607 --> 00:50:46,391
Here, it's over here.
1062
00:50:46,521 --> 00:50:48,262
All right, mom.
1063
00:50:48,393 --> 00:50:50,743
They said the tumor
is inside by his tongue.
1064
00:50:50,873 --> 00:50:53,311
Without sedation, itwould be hard to really see
1065
00:50:53,441 --> 00:50:54,616
the whole thing.- See, there it is right there.
1066
00:50:54,747 --> 00:50:55,487
Gosh, he is so good.
1067
00:50:55,617 --> 00:50:56,357
There it is right there.
1068
00:50:56,488 --> 00:50:57,489
What a dog.
1069
00:50:57,619 --> 00:51:00,405
Oh my god.
1070
00:51:00,535 --> 00:51:01,754
I have to assume that--
1071
00:51:01,884 --> 00:51:03,060
Petey, it's OK.
1072
00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:07,760
--that the tumor iscompletely infiltrating his jaw.
1073
00:51:07,890 --> 00:51:10,502
So I'm definitely going toget Dr. Goldstein involved.
1074
00:51:10,632 --> 00:51:11,981
I want him to take a look.
1075
00:51:12,112 --> 00:51:15,681
I want him to give me
his opinion on doing
1076
00:51:15,811 --> 00:51:17,074
something for Petey's jaw.
1077
00:51:20,512 --> 00:51:21,252
Whoa.
1078
00:51:25,169 --> 00:51:26,039
And then open up
your jaw, Petey.
1079
00:51:26,170 --> 00:51:26,909
Hang on, buddy.
1080
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,738
I just wanna get behind him.
1081
00:51:29,869 --> 00:51:31,044
That's extensive.
1082
00:51:36,310 --> 00:51:38,486
It doesn't really
seem painful.
1083
00:51:38,617 --> 00:51:39,879
Oh, he's got it all
the way back here.
1084
00:51:40,009 --> 00:51:43,404
I know.
1085
00:51:43,535 --> 00:51:44,884
Yeah, there's somenecrotic tissue in there.
1086
00:51:45,014 --> 00:51:47,626
Ooh, smelly.
1087
00:51:47,756 --> 00:51:49,497
OK, Petey, I know.
1088
00:51:49,628 --> 00:51:55,808
Well, we could at least do amajor debulking of the cancer
1089
00:51:55,938 --> 00:51:58,376
mess using cryosurgery.
1090
00:51:58,506 --> 00:52:01,292
They want to do
hemimandibulectomy?
1091
00:52:01,422 --> 00:52:04,077
That's what has been
recommended repeatedly.
1092
00:52:04,208 --> 00:52:08,864
She said, I've decided I don'twant to do traditional surgery.
1093
00:52:08,995 --> 00:52:09,996
I'll come in with you.
1094
00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:12,564
OK, all right.
1095
00:52:12,694 --> 00:52:14,870
RANDIE: I have been workingat a traditional practice
1096
00:52:15,001 --> 00:52:16,785
for about 15 years.
1097
00:52:16,916 --> 00:52:20,615
And Dr. Ruskin who I hadworked with at another practice
1098
00:52:20,746 --> 00:52:24,228
had been desperately trying toget me to come to Smith Ridge.
1099
00:52:24,358 --> 00:52:26,534
But it didn't feel like
the right fit for me.
1100
00:52:26,665 --> 00:52:28,406
I thought it was going
to be too holistic.
1101
00:52:28,536 --> 00:52:31,191
I had a lot of preconceivednotions about it.
1102
00:52:31,322 --> 00:52:33,019
Marty, what would
you like to use?
1103
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:34,499
Adrenal B12 and what else?
1104
00:52:34,629 --> 00:52:37,241
And then Marty
started calling me.
1105
00:52:37,371 --> 00:52:41,245
And they were tag
teaming me to come in.
1106
00:52:41,375 --> 00:52:43,116
And I said OK.
1107
00:52:43,247 --> 00:52:46,163
But I was nervous
about meeting him.
1108
00:52:46,293 --> 00:52:48,121
I didn't think I was
going to like him.
1109
00:52:48,252 --> 00:52:52,081
Because I had seen
some of his medical
1110
00:52:52,212 --> 00:52:57,565
records just from casesthat we had shared and seen
1111
00:52:57,696 --> 00:52:59,263
this list of supplements.
1112
00:52:59,393 --> 00:53:02,004
And I thought, oh,
this is so ridiculous.
1113
00:53:02,135 --> 00:53:03,658
I mean, it's just so long.
1114
00:53:03,789 --> 00:53:07,532
And how could anybody evertake all of these supplements?
1115
00:53:07,662 --> 00:53:10,143
And how could he
possibly even know
1116
00:53:10,274 --> 00:53:12,101
about all these supplements?
1117
00:53:12,232 --> 00:53:14,060
I don't think the homeopathicis going to do anything.
1118
00:53:14,191 --> 00:53:15,583
The adrenal B12--
1119
00:53:15,714 --> 00:53:17,759
RANDIE: But I met
with him and he
1120
00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:21,763
was completely different fromwhat I expected him to be.
1121
00:53:21,894 --> 00:53:24,984
And I remember he said to me,so what do you want to do?
1122
00:53:25,114 --> 00:53:27,639
Who do you want to be?
1123
00:53:27,769 --> 00:53:31,991
Do you want to be someonewho does this work?
1124
00:53:32,121 --> 00:53:36,604
And my answer was yes.
1125
00:53:36,735 --> 00:53:38,258
TECHNICIAN [ON PA]: Dr.
Jenna, your 1 o'clock
1126
00:53:38,389 --> 00:53:40,478
phone is on line one.
1127
00:53:40,608 --> 00:53:45,047
OK, this is a
very difficult case.
1128
00:53:45,178 --> 00:53:46,919
Cancer grows exponentially.
1129
00:53:47,049 --> 00:53:50,836
If the replication rate of acancer cell is every four hours
1130
00:53:50,966 --> 00:53:54,709
and you have a tumor that'scomposed of billions of cells,
1131
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,539
it could create billionsof cells every four hours.
1132
00:53:58,670 --> 00:54:00,106
And I've had people
tell me that they
1133
00:54:00,237 --> 00:54:03,109
have sat home over the
weekend and watched
1134
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:04,937
their dogs tumor double.
1135
00:54:05,067 --> 00:54:06,591
Radiation is an option.
1136
00:54:06,721 --> 00:54:08,027
They're not going to go for it.
1137
00:54:08,157 --> 00:54:11,248
Removing that whole
jaw is an option.
1138
00:54:11,378 --> 00:54:12,292
They're not going to go for it.
1139
00:54:12,423 --> 00:54:15,556
So let's talk about cryosurgery.
1140
00:54:15,687 --> 00:54:18,690
With cryosurgery, weactually freeze the tumor.
1141
00:54:18,820 --> 00:54:20,692
And the freezing
actually stimulates
1142
00:54:20,822 --> 00:54:23,782
the immune system so thatwhatever cancer we freeze
1143
00:54:23,912 --> 00:54:25,566
will get rejected.
1144
00:54:25,697 --> 00:54:28,177
And then the body will
lay down new scar tissue
1145
00:54:28,308 --> 00:54:30,658
where the cancer used to be.
1146
00:54:30,789 --> 00:54:34,532
But we save enough vital tissuefor functionality of the jaw.
1147
00:54:34,662 --> 00:54:37,448
Coming from a
traditional background,
1148
00:54:37,578 --> 00:54:42,801
I can't even conceive
of this kind of success.
1149
00:54:42,931 --> 00:54:43,976
Think about it.
1150
00:54:44,106 --> 00:54:46,935
You get your finger frost bit.
1151
00:54:47,066 --> 00:54:49,982
The part that really
got frostbit will die.
1152
00:54:50,112 --> 00:54:52,854
The part that
almost got frostbit
1153
00:54:52,985 --> 00:54:55,640
will form a wall ofdefense, a wall of defense
1154
00:54:55,770 --> 00:54:57,685
and reject the other piece.
1155
00:54:57,816 --> 00:54:59,774
That's what we want to
do with cryosurgery.
1156
00:54:59,905 --> 00:55:05,693
But at this stage, we are verytime-limited with this case.
1157
00:55:05,824 --> 00:55:07,652
If we don't docryosurgery and they don't
1158
00:55:07,782 --> 00:55:08,870
choose the other options--
1159
00:55:09,001 --> 00:55:10,132
There is nothing
else to offer them.
1160
00:55:10,263 --> 00:55:11,003
Nothing, yeah.
1161
00:55:13,875 --> 00:55:16,530
We don't like
hemimandibulectomies
1162
00:55:16,661 --> 00:55:19,968
where you remove the whole jaw.
1163
00:55:20,099 --> 00:55:22,710
Unless it's the only thingthat can save a dog's life.
1164
00:55:22,841 --> 00:55:24,886
This one I would
actually consider,
1165
00:55:25,017 --> 00:55:27,062
but I know you don't
want to go there.
1166
00:55:27,193 --> 00:55:28,281
If he will--
1167
00:55:28,412 --> 00:55:29,238
I mean, I had
made the decision
1168
00:55:29,369 --> 00:55:31,284
not to take the tumor out.
1169
00:55:31,415 --> 00:55:33,199
I didn't want to
have the surgery.
1170
00:55:33,330 --> 00:55:34,461
And I didn't want
him to be deformed.
1171
00:55:34,592 --> 00:55:35,810
And I didn't want him
to go through the pain.
1172
00:55:35,941 --> 00:55:38,770
MARTY: Yeah, the thing
that makes this tough
1173
00:55:38,900 --> 00:55:43,601
is the location and thesize and the firmness of it.
1174
00:55:43,731 --> 00:55:45,429
All of this cancer
I know I can freeze
1175
00:55:45,559 --> 00:55:46,604
and the body will reject it.
1176
00:55:46,734 --> 00:55:48,170
PET OWNER: It's what's
growing inside the jaw.
1177
00:55:48,301 --> 00:55:50,521
Yeah, it's this onehere and getting exposure.
1178
00:55:50,651 --> 00:55:53,437
I'm sure at least one
or two of the teeth,
1179
00:55:53,567 --> 00:55:55,961
at least are going to have tocome out to give me exposure.
1180
00:55:56,091 --> 00:55:57,615
We don't care about thatas long as he has the jaw.
1181
00:55:57,745 --> 00:55:58,485
PET OWNER: Yeah.
1182
00:55:58,616 --> 00:55:59,486
It's like a gamble.
1183
00:55:59,617 --> 00:56:01,270
It's like a 50/50
shot pretty much.
1184
00:56:01,401 --> 00:56:04,056
MARTY: Uh, it's
probably less than that.
1185
00:56:04,186 --> 00:56:06,537
But would nutritionalsupplements let it grow slower
1186
00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:10,976
maybe or stop it from growing?
1187
00:56:11,106 --> 00:56:13,413
I don't think so.
1188
00:56:13,544 --> 00:56:15,633
This is a tough one.
1189
00:56:15,763 --> 00:56:18,853
And if we elect to do cryo,it's gonna be a long haul.
1190
00:56:18,984 --> 00:56:19,767
PET OWNER: OK.
1191
00:56:19,898 --> 00:56:21,595
OK.
1192
00:56:21,726 --> 00:56:22,727
I got to sleep on it, I guess.
1193
00:56:22,857 --> 00:56:25,077
MARTY: Yeah, a lot
to think about.
1194
00:56:25,207 --> 00:56:26,644
PET OWNER: We will.
1195
00:56:26,774 --> 00:56:27,514
MARTY: It was a pleasure.
1196
00:56:27,645 --> 00:56:28,385
Yeah.
1197
00:56:31,126 --> 00:56:31,866
Pie-poo.
1198
00:56:41,789 --> 00:56:45,053
He's been to five veterinarians.
1199
00:56:45,184 --> 00:56:51,669
And no one ever mentionedthat before, except a stranger
1200
00:56:51,799 --> 00:56:52,931
in the park, the dog park.
1201
00:56:58,240 --> 00:56:59,546
Because I could havebeen here two months ago.
1202
00:57:11,471 --> 00:57:15,127
RANDIE: Because it was so
extensive at that point,
1203
00:57:15,257 --> 00:57:19,653
the family decided to give Peteythe best life that they could
1204
00:57:19,784 --> 00:57:22,351
for whatever time
he had left without
1205
00:57:22,482 --> 00:57:24,963
any surgical intervention.
1206
00:57:25,093 --> 00:57:26,443
He didn't suffer.
1207
00:57:26,573 --> 00:57:28,706
And when it was time,
they put him to sleep.
1208
00:57:31,926 --> 00:57:33,058
You just never know
how you're going
1209
00:57:33,188 --> 00:57:35,408
to handle a situation
until you are
1210
00:57:35,539 --> 00:57:37,236
the one who's actually in it.
1211
00:57:37,366 --> 00:57:43,111
And I certainly--
I certainly don't
1212
00:57:43,242 --> 00:57:46,114
think that it would be fair orright to judge that they should
1213
00:57:46,245 --> 00:57:49,901
have done anything differently.
1214
00:57:50,031 --> 00:57:51,250
TECHNICIAN: Scooby
is ready to go back.
1215
00:57:56,603 --> 00:57:57,909
What, baby, what?
1216
00:57:58,039 --> 00:57:59,040
Tell mama.
1217
00:57:59,171 --> 00:58:00,389
What's ailing you?
1218
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,000
You'll be OK.
1219
00:58:02,130 --> 00:58:03,175
Yes, you'll be OK.
1220
00:58:03,305 --> 00:58:03,741
[dog whimpers]
1221
00:58:03,871 --> 00:58:06,047
I know.
1222
00:58:06,178 --> 00:58:09,355
RANDIE: Scooby is
another patient that
1223
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:11,792
came in with a poor prognosis.
1224
00:58:11,923 --> 00:58:14,969
The case is very,
very similar to Petey.
1225
00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:18,277
And the owners came here
looking for cryosurgery.
1226
00:58:18,407 --> 00:58:20,105
And they got here just in time.
1227
00:58:20,235 --> 00:58:20,975
OK.
1228
00:58:23,761 --> 00:58:26,590
Scooby's tumor
is getting worse.
1229
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,505
He's not eating much.
1230
00:58:28,635 --> 00:58:32,247
In five days, he
probably ate two times.
1231
00:58:32,378 --> 00:58:34,946
His original veterinariantold me that he
1232
00:58:35,076 --> 00:58:36,295
had about four months to live.
1233
00:58:50,265 --> 00:58:57,446
MARTY: This is our tank
of liquid nitrogen.
1234
00:58:57,577 --> 00:59:00,667
Liquid nitrogen can get downto minus 99 degrees centigrade.
1235
00:59:04,018 --> 00:59:05,542
Kind of feel like [inaudible].
1236
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:09,720
Yeah.
1237
00:59:14,115 --> 00:59:14,551
Stay clear.
1238
00:59:17,815 --> 00:59:20,818
Cryosurgery is not
a sterile surgery.
1239
00:59:20,948 --> 00:59:22,646
We don't have to go
into the sterile room.
1240
00:59:22,776 --> 00:59:26,214
And I can just
wear a scrub suit.
1241
00:59:30,610 --> 00:59:31,698
Wow.
1242
00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:33,613
There is a lot
more involved here
1243
00:59:33,744 --> 00:59:36,442
than we originally thought.
1244
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:41,839
And approaching it is
going to be difficult.
1245
00:59:41,969 --> 00:59:43,710
Once they start to
freeze, it freezes
1246
00:59:43,841 --> 00:59:45,016
quickly because it's so cold.
1247
00:59:52,676 --> 00:59:55,461
You can see all the
freezing going on.
1248
00:59:55,592 --> 00:59:58,072
Can you see it, thefreezing travelling down.
1249
00:59:58,203 --> 00:59:58,943
Yeah, wow.
1250
00:59:59,073 --> 01:00:01,772
It's amazing, huh?
1251
01:00:01,902 --> 01:00:03,948
When I first heard
about cryosurgery,
1252
01:00:04,078 --> 01:00:07,299
I thought that it soundedbarbaric and crazy.
1253
01:00:07,429 --> 01:00:11,477
And how could you
freeze these tumors?
1254
01:00:11,608 --> 01:00:16,177
And wait, the dog
eats the same night?
1255
01:00:16,308 --> 01:00:18,832
Hasn't eaten in two weeks,and all of a sudden you
1256
01:00:18,963 --> 01:00:21,530
freeze the tumor and
they eat that night
1257
01:00:21,661 --> 01:00:25,099
and doesn't need a tremendousamount of pain medication.
1258
01:00:25,230 --> 01:00:29,930
And, like, it's crazy.
1259
01:00:30,061 --> 01:00:32,803
It's getting all
the way down to there.
1260
01:00:32,933 --> 01:00:34,065
Wow.
1261
01:00:34,195 --> 01:00:36,589
In general, as great
as cryosurgery is,
1262
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,547
surgery does not cure cancer.
1263
01:00:38,678 --> 01:00:42,639
It removes a symptom
of immune deficiency.
1264
01:00:42,769 --> 01:00:44,989
This is going to
hopefully save the jaw,
1265
01:00:45,119 --> 01:00:49,950
buy us time so the nutritionalsupplements will work.
1266
01:00:50,081 --> 01:00:51,691
RANDIE: In all
likelihood, Marty,
1267
01:00:51,822 --> 01:00:53,475
he's going to need more
than one procedure?
1268
01:00:53,606 --> 01:00:56,130
Oh, yeah.
1269
01:00:56,261 --> 01:00:57,392
Yeah, we're out.
1270
01:01:04,443 --> 01:01:07,925
Scooby, how is he doing?
1271
01:01:08,055 --> 01:01:10,275
MARTY: Oh, he's wide
awake in the cage.
1272
01:01:10,405 --> 01:01:12,103
Now we got to see.
1273
01:01:12,233 --> 01:01:14,845
Because the only thing we don'thave with cancer is prediction.
1274
01:01:14,975 --> 01:01:18,544
We have to monitor
them like a hawk.
1275
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:22,113
If he's going to growback cancer in two weeks,
1276
01:01:22,243 --> 01:01:23,462
there's not much we're going
to do, not with the way
1277
01:01:23,592 --> 01:01:25,507
I froze it.
1278
01:01:25,638 --> 01:01:27,814
And if this is a
fibrous tumor, it could
1279
01:01:27,945 --> 01:01:29,903
come back with a vengeance.
1280
01:01:30,034 --> 01:01:30,687
We just don't know.
1281
01:01:36,388 --> 01:01:39,260
I know you were worried aboutit, but he did really well.
1282
01:01:39,391 --> 01:01:42,524
Aw.
1283
01:01:42,655 --> 01:01:46,180
Oh, I'll just be there
to see you, guys.
1284
01:01:46,311 --> 01:01:49,401
He makes it look
like [inaudible]..
1285
01:01:49,531 --> 01:01:51,446
Oh, tell mom.
1286
01:01:51,577 --> 01:01:52,404
You're gonna be OK.
1287
01:02:11,162 --> 01:02:13,120
PET OWNER: So we're
here today for Scooby's
1288
01:02:13,251 --> 01:02:15,340
recheck with Dr. Marty.
1289
01:02:15,470 --> 01:02:18,299
He has gained three pounds.
1290
01:02:18,430 --> 01:02:19,692
He's energetic.
1291
01:02:19,823 --> 01:02:24,436
He's a lot stronger than hewas before the operation.
1292
01:02:24,566 --> 01:02:25,306
He's running.
1293
01:02:25,437 --> 01:02:28,440
He's back to his old self.
1294
01:02:28,570 --> 01:02:30,224
Just eating is a
bit of a problem.
1295
01:02:30,355 --> 01:02:33,793
But Dr. Marty suggested toget a Boston Market chicken.
1296
01:02:33,924 --> 01:02:35,229
And that did the trick.
1297
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,756
And he eats one everyday, 1 and 1/2 sometimes.
1298
01:02:39,886 --> 01:02:42,671
The surgery site is right here.
1299
01:02:42,802 --> 01:02:43,934
And they removed his tooth.
1300
01:02:46,850 --> 01:02:49,983
And Dr. Marty doesn't wantus to clean the wound site.
1301
01:02:50,114 --> 01:02:52,899
He wants the bacteria in
there so the body fights
1302
01:02:53,030 --> 01:02:56,642
harder to fight off the cancer.
1303
01:02:56,773 --> 01:03:00,994
So everything you would think todo, you're not supposed to do.
1304
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:04,781
He just gave him two
homeopathic shots.
1305
01:03:04,911 --> 01:03:07,435
So he said that shouldgive him even more energy.
1306
01:03:07,566 --> 01:03:09,263
So I guess he's OK.
1307
01:03:09,394 --> 01:03:11,396
And he bounces back.
1308
01:03:11,526 --> 01:03:12,266
It's all worth it.
1309
01:03:31,459 --> 01:03:31,895
Yes.
1310
01:03:35,333 --> 01:03:39,337
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: I got invitedby the Integrative Veterinary
1311
01:03:39,467 --> 01:03:45,691
Medicine Club to give apresentation at, of all places,
1312
01:03:45,822 --> 01:03:49,216
my alma mater, Cornell.
1313
01:03:49,347 --> 01:03:54,178
So this time, I'll talk
to the next generation.
1314
01:03:54,308 --> 01:03:57,746
And I'm hoping those
new vets coming out
1315
01:03:57,877 --> 01:04:02,229
will start to spread this word.
1316
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,623
MEG: The days of paper.
1317
01:04:04,753 --> 01:04:07,800
MARTY: I mean, I haven't seenthese folders in umpteen years.
1318
01:04:07,931 --> 01:04:08,757
MEG: You want to do the cryo?
1319
01:04:08,888 --> 01:04:09,758
You want to do the cancer?
1320
01:04:09,889 --> 01:04:11,630
You want to do the nutrition?
1321
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,198
Abigail, I want to dobecause that was verified.
1322
01:04:14,328 --> 01:04:16,591
MEG: You should definitely
talk about this one.
1323
01:04:16,722 --> 01:04:18,724
You ran this case?
1324
01:04:18,855 --> 01:04:19,943
This was the mast
cell tumor they
1325
01:04:20,073 --> 01:04:21,161
wanted to amputate the leg.
1326
01:04:21,292 --> 01:04:22,989
We did cryosurgery.
1327
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,601
And then she lived to
like I think 16 or 17.
1328
01:04:26,732 --> 01:04:30,344
Wow, that's a great cancer case.
1329
01:04:30,475 --> 01:04:33,043
Lyme disease, renal failure.
1330
01:04:33,173 --> 01:04:34,522
Do we have anything
with the nutrition?
1331
01:04:34,653 --> 01:04:35,610
- Brutus.
- Oh.
1332
01:04:35,741 --> 01:04:36,960
- Aw.
- Brute.
1333
01:04:37,090 --> 01:04:38,526
MARTY: He was diagnosed
with Cushing's
1334
01:04:38,657 --> 01:04:44,184
when he was 18 months old, oneof the youngest I've ever seen.
1335
01:04:44,315 --> 01:04:46,447
And we got him to almost 17.
1336
01:04:46,578 --> 01:04:48,058
MEG: Yeah.
1337
01:04:48,188 --> 01:04:48,928
Who is that?
1338
01:04:49,059 --> 01:04:50,321
Oh, Thea.
MARTY: Oh.
1339
01:04:50,451 --> 01:04:51,888
MEG: Thea.
1340
01:04:52,018 --> 01:04:53,933
MARTY: She was the catthat looked like Jay Leno.
1341
01:04:54,064 --> 01:04:56,022
She was 4 and 1/2 years old.
1342
01:04:56,153 --> 01:04:58,590
Every joint in her
body was fused.
1343
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,419
This was literally
living rigor mortis.
1344
01:05:01,549 --> 01:05:03,464
And one injection of
a homeopathic remedy,
1345
01:05:03,595 --> 01:05:05,249
and two hours later
she was normal.
1346
01:05:05,379 --> 01:05:07,077
And then she lived to like 14--MEG: Oh my god.
1347
01:05:07,207 --> 01:05:08,426
MARTY: 14 and 1/2.
1348
01:05:08,556 --> 01:05:10,297
Yeah, why don't you makea pile, so that's a given?
1349
01:05:10,428 --> 01:05:11,255
Oh, yeah.
1350
01:05:11,385 --> 01:05:11,820
So that you can
later on make notes.
1351
01:05:11,951 --> 01:05:12,169
That's a good idea.
1352
01:05:17,609 --> 01:05:18,653
Waffles is back.
1353
01:05:18,784 --> 01:05:19,524
Waffles.
1354
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:23,397
[inaudible]
1355
01:05:27,010 --> 01:05:28,533
He's unsteady on his feet.
1356
01:05:28,663 --> 01:05:30,665
And he's not drinking or eating.
1357
01:05:30,796 --> 01:05:31,928
When she gets her
up in the morning,
1358
01:05:32,058 --> 01:05:33,581
she kind of has to
like let him balance
1359
01:05:33,712 --> 01:05:35,192
out before they start walking.
1360
01:05:35,322 --> 01:05:36,236
Mm-hm.
1361
01:05:36,367 --> 01:05:37,411
OK.
1362
01:05:37,542 --> 01:05:39,326
All right.
1363
01:05:39,457 --> 01:05:40,632
Sweetheart, let's see.
1364
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:47,987
So we have a bit of
drama with Waffles.
1365
01:05:48,118 --> 01:05:48,857
He's pretty weak.
1366
01:05:48,988 --> 01:05:50,076
He looks pale.
1367
01:05:50,207 --> 01:05:53,166
He's jaundiced.
1368
01:05:53,297 --> 01:05:55,429
It's either some sort
of autoimmune thing
1369
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,128
that's happening, a possiblevaccine reaction that's
1370
01:05:58,258 --> 01:06:01,914
ongoing, or his blastomycosis,which has been knocking him
1371
01:06:02,045 --> 01:06:05,570
off his feet for months now.
1372
01:06:05,700 --> 01:06:07,050
All right, sweetie pie.
1373
01:06:07,180 --> 01:06:07,964
All right, you can go
back in with your mom.
1374
01:06:23,022 --> 01:06:24,589
is that his blood
spinning, Cath,
1375
01:06:24,719 --> 01:06:25,807
or his is running
in the machine?
1376
01:06:25,938 --> 01:06:26,721
His should be running.
1377
01:06:26,852 --> 01:06:27,592
OK.
1378
01:06:30,551 --> 01:06:32,292
[inaudible]
1379
01:06:37,471 --> 01:06:39,908
He's a moving target.
1380
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:41,432
TECHNICIAN: Dr. Jenna, line one.
1381
01:06:46,306 --> 01:06:48,004
JACQUELINE: It's bizarre.
1382
01:06:48,134 --> 01:06:49,962
He is severely anemic right now.
1383
01:06:57,056 --> 01:06:58,971
Wendy, Wendy, can
you let her know
1384
01:06:59,102 --> 01:07:00,625
that I have an emergency here,so it's going to be a wait.
1385
01:07:05,630 --> 01:07:08,328
His red blood cells
are reading at 20%.
1386
01:07:08,459 --> 01:07:10,026
OK, but that's a good thing?
1387
01:07:10,156 --> 01:07:11,549
JACQUELINE: They
should be at least 30%.
1388
01:07:11,679 --> 01:07:13,290
OK.
1389
01:07:13,420 --> 01:07:14,595
And I think that we're goingto have to bite the bullet
1390
01:07:14,726 --> 01:07:16,119
and do a blood transfusion.
1391
01:07:16,249 --> 01:07:18,599
Then we can decide
what to do from there,
1392
01:07:18,730 --> 01:07:20,427
depending on his response.
1393
01:07:20,558 --> 01:07:22,299
But blood is not somethingwe have in the hospital.
1394
01:07:22,429 --> 01:07:24,127
We have to go and get it
from another hospital.
1395
01:07:24,257 --> 01:07:26,346
So I'm going to
try to call around
1396
01:07:26,477 --> 01:07:27,869
to see who could give us blood.
1397
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,177
Because we don't have
a lot of time here.
1398
01:07:31,308 --> 01:07:33,745
PET OWNER: You think he'sstrong enough to withstand it?
1399
01:07:33,875 --> 01:07:37,662
Yeah, I've seen a couple ofdogs that I look in their eyes
1400
01:07:37,792 --> 01:07:39,055
and they're quitting.
1401
01:07:39,185 --> 01:07:40,143
But most of them fight.
1402
01:07:40,273 --> 01:07:42,101
And they're willing
to keep trying.
1403
01:07:42,232 --> 01:07:45,061
And he's trying, so Iwon't give up until Waffles
1404
01:07:45,191 --> 01:07:46,758
tells me to give up.
1405
01:07:46,888 --> 01:07:47,715
All right.
1406
01:07:47,846 --> 01:07:48,586
OK.
1407
01:07:51,589 --> 01:07:54,505
Dr. Ruskin here has determinedthat he needs a transfusion.
1408
01:07:54,635 --> 01:07:57,464
Then she asked me to callto see if you have a unit
1409
01:07:57,595 --> 01:07:59,597
of [inaudible] blood cells.
1410
01:07:59,727 --> 01:08:01,381
One of our doctors hasdetermined that our patient
1411
01:08:01,512 --> 01:08:02,991
needs a blood transfusion.
1412
01:08:03,122 --> 01:08:04,080
And she's having us
call around and see
1413
01:08:04,210 --> 01:08:05,820
if we can get that for him.
1414
01:08:05,951 --> 01:08:07,344
We don't have any blood here.
1415
01:08:07,474 --> 01:08:09,737
That's why we're
calling you guys.
1416
01:08:09,868 --> 01:08:10,608
Yes.
1417
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:15,352
Apparently, all
the blood banks
1418
01:08:15,482 --> 01:08:16,353
are on back order and stuff.
1419
01:08:16,483 --> 01:08:17,919
Yeah, all right.
1420
01:08:18,050 --> 01:08:19,182
I don't really have enough time.
1421
01:08:23,011 --> 01:08:24,448
We're gonna have to.
1422
01:08:24,578 --> 01:08:26,667
But I think that's ouronly choice at this point.
1423
01:08:26,798 --> 01:08:28,930
This is crazy.
1424
01:08:29,061 --> 01:08:30,236
All right, who had blood?
1425
01:08:30,367 --> 01:08:31,237
Newtown had blood?
1426
01:08:31,368 --> 01:08:33,500
Newtown has one unit.
1427
01:08:33,631 --> 01:08:35,546
So why don't we go there.
1428
01:08:35,676 --> 01:08:37,287
OK, so I should just go.
1429
01:08:37,417 --> 01:08:38,418
- Just go there.
- OK.
1430
01:08:38,549 --> 01:08:39,289
All right.
1431
01:08:45,425 --> 01:08:47,340
Well, hopefully this is
going to do it today.
1432
01:09:24,334 --> 01:09:27,293
After the blood
transfusion, I went back
1433
01:09:27,424 --> 01:09:30,166
to the emergency room
the next morning,
1434
01:09:30,296 --> 01:09:34,126
bringing him his
food which I made up.
1435
01:09:34,257 --> 01:09:37,216
I deliver it there at 6 o'clock.
1436
01:09:37,347 --> 01:09:41,655
And they came in, they broughthim in, and he was yellow.
1437
01:09:41,786 --> 01:09:43,614
He was absolutely yellow.
1438
01:09:43,744 --> 01:09:47,052
And I was horrified.
1439
01:09:47,183 --> 01:09:50,882
And that's when they had thediscussion with me, well,
1440
01:09:51,012 --> 01:09:54,929
you know, you got
yourself a lemon here.
1441
01:09:55,060 --> 01:09:58,194
And following that was thediscussion that he would be
1442
01:09:58,324 --> 01:09:59,978
lame for the rest of this life.
1443
01:10:00,108 --> 01:10:05,418
And Dave and I should give somethought to putting him down.
1444
01:10:05,549 --> 01:10:07,420
Come on, you want
to sit in the sun?
1445
01:10:07,551 --> 01:10:10,684
PET OWNER: So I
called Smith Ridge,
1446
01:10:10,815 --> 01:10:14,471
and Dr. Ruskin said we needto give him a few days.
1447
01:10:14,601 --> 01:10:16,603
Let me take a look at him.
1448
01:10:16,734 --> 01:10:20,303
And if he keeps on fighting,I'll keep fighting with him.
1449
01:10:47,243 --> 01:10:48,809
Oh, boy, you were hungry.
1450
01:10:54,554 --> 01:10:56,252
Are you ready to go to work?
1451
01:10:56,382 --> 01:10:57,122
Huh?
1452
01:11:05,522 --> 01:11:08,873
Look at his ears, you know?
1453
01:11:09,003 --> 01:11:10,266
Look how alert he is.
1454
01:11:10,396 --> 01:11:11,136
Yeah.
1455
01:11:13,443 --> 01:11:14,313
Yes.
1456
01:11:14,444 --> 01:11:15,923
Yes, who loves you?
1457
01:11:16,054 --> 01:11:16,620
Who loves you?
1458
01:11:16,750 --> 01:11:17,490
Oh, yes.
1459
01:11:23,931 --> 01:11:26,107
[laughing]
1460
01:11:33,245 --> 01:11:33,985
Come on.
1461
01:11:40,034 --> 01:11:41,514
What?
1462
01:11:41,645 --> 01:11:42,515
Come on.
1463
01:11:42,646 --> 01:11:43,386
What?
1464
01:11:43,516 --> 01:11:44,822
You're like a normal dog.
1465
01:11:44,952 --> 01:11:47,128
[inaudible]
1466
01:11:47,259 --> 01:11:48,129
He is back to the way he was.
1467
01:11:48,260 --> 01:11:49,000
Hey, Waffles.
1468
01:11:49,130 --> 01:11:49,870
Yeah.
1469
01:11:50,001 --> 01:11:51,307
That's amazing.
1470
01:11:51,437 --> 01:11:53,047
Isn't that nice?
1471
01:11:53,178 --> 01:11:55,659
He's playing, he's
eating on his own.
1472
01:11:55,789 --> 01:11:58,052
Aw.
1473
01:11:58,183 --> 01:11:59,140
Kisses, yeah.
1474
01:11:59,271 --> 01:12:01,969
You little fighter, you.
1475
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:03,319
Oh my god.
1476
01:12:03,449 --> 01:12:05,669
It's so great to see thattail wagging, get a kiss.
1477
01:12:05,799 --> 01:12:10,195
Oh my god, those kisses areworth a million dollars to me.
1478
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:11,457
Waffles.
1479
01:12:11,588 --> 01:12:14,417
You did so good.
1480
01:12:14,547 --> 01:12:17,768
You're the moocher now.
1481
01:12:17,898 --> 01:12:18,986
Good boy.
1482
01:12:19,117 --> 01:12:20,988
All right, so we just
gotta check his blood,
1483
01:12:21,119 --> 01:12:23,991
see if that's alsofollowing everything else
1484
01:12:24,122 --> 01:12:25,906
great that we're seeing here.
1485
01:12:26,037 --> 01:12:26,472
We'll be back.
1486
01:12:34,915 --> 01:12:36,352
Look who's here.
1487
01:12:36,482 --> 01:12:37,527
Yes, I know.
1488
01:12:37,657 --> 01:12:39,050
He's so much bigger.
I know, look at this.
1489
01:12:39,180 --> 01:12:39,746
- No ribs!
- Look at this.
1490
01:12:39,877 --> 01:12:41,052
[inaudible]
- No ribs.
1491
01:12:41,182 --> 01:12:44,316
[inaudible]
1492
01:12:44,447 --> 01:12:46,100
Just PCB/CBC?
1493
01:12:46,231 --> 01:12:48,973
PCB/CBC, yeah.
1494
01:12:49,103 --> 01:12:52,019
Good news, 36.
1495
01:12:52,150 --> 01:12:54,370
36.
1496
01:12:54,500 --> 01:12:56,981
36.
1497
01:12:57,111 --> 01:12:58,286
Oh, he's in the normal range.
1498
01:12:58,417 --> 01:13:00,027
- Is it?
- Yes.
1499
01:13:00,158 --> 01:13:00,767
All right.
1500
01:13:00,898 --> 01:13:01,725
[inaudible]
1501
01:13:05,685 --> 01:13:08,427
Oh my god, here come
the tears again.
1502
01:13:08,558 --> 01:13:10,168
Oh, here, this boy.
1503
01:13:10,298 --> 01:13:12,605
OK, 36.
1504
01:13:12,736 --> 01:13:16,217
And everything is going, justblossoming into a puppy again.
1505
01:13:19,699 --> 01:13:20,831
You're only going home
with one new thing.
1506
01:13:20,961 --> 01:13:22,485
What is it?
The BH?
1507
01:13:22,615 --> 01:13:23,660
Yep, that's you're
one new thing.
1508
01:13:23,790 --> 01:13:25,226
Yeah, that's
you're one new thing.
1509
01:13:25,357 --> 01:13:27,228
I'll give you a little bit.
1510
01:13:27,359 --> 01:13:28,708
Because it's a homeopathic.
1511
01:13:28,839 --> 01:13:30,188
It absorbs into the gums.
1512
01:13:30,318 --> 01:13:32,146
So yeah, 20 months
before and after food.
1513
01:13:32,277 --> 01:13:33,017
Got it.
1514
01:13:33,147 --> 01:13:35,498
All righty.
1515
01:13:35,628 --> 01:13:37,630
Oh, how cute.
1516
01:13:37,761 --> 01:13:39,415
Well, I know it's alittle big for him, but--
1517
01:13:39,545 --> 01:13:40,285
He'll grow into it.
1518
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:43,331
Scooby is ready to go back.
1519
01:13:43,462 --> 01:13:44,811
Hi, buddy.
1520
01:13:44,942 --> 01:13:45,638
[groans]
1521
01:13:47,771 --> 01:13:51,339
He acts like there's
nothing wrong with him.
1522
01:13:51,470 --> 01:13:55,213
Still doing two walks
a day, two long walks.
1523
01:13:55,343 --> 01:13:56,867
He wants to go to Home Depot.
1524
01:13:56,997 --> 01:13:58,825
He wants to go to
the super market.
1525
01:13:58,956 --> 01:14:00,392
He just wants to
go out the door.
1526
01:14:00,523 --> 01:14:01,349
Yeah, he wants to live.
1527
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:03,090
Yeah.
1528
01:14:03,221 --> 01:14:03,830
Look how big it got.
1529
01:14:08,269 --> 01:14:08,966
He's such a good boy.
1530
01:14:09,096 --> 01:14:12,448
Who's a good boy?
1531
01:14:12,578 --> 01:14:14,580
It's that and it'ssomething in the back as well.
1532
01:14:14,711 --> 01:14:15,451
OK.
1533
01:14:19,846 --> 01:14:23,154
Well, we have recurrencehere, a little over there.
1534
01:14:23,284 --> 01:14:24,547
Yeah.
1535
01:14:24,677 --> 01:14:26,113
But for a bone tumor
six months later--
1536
01:14:26,244 --> 01:14:27,288
That's incredible.
1537
01:14:27,419 --> 01:14:29,073
It's beyond.
1538
01:14:29,203 --> 01:14:33,381
And his lymph nodes, which werehuge when we first started,
1539
01:14:33,512 --> 01:14:34,731
I can barely palpate them now.
1540
01:14:34,861 --> 01:14:35,906
I know.
1541
01:14:36,036 --> 01:14:36,776
I didn't feel it either.
1542
01:14:36,907 --> 01:14:37,690
I thought the same thing.
1543
01:14:37,821 --> 01:14:38,648
Here, amazing.
1544
01:14:38,778 --> 01:14:40,301
Wait a minute, where is it?
1545
01:14:40,432 --> 01:14:41,172
How is that possible?
1546
01:14:41,302 --> 01:14:42,956
It's remarkable.
1547
01:14:43,087 --> 01:14:46,525
Not cured, but phenomenal.
1548
01:14:46,656 --> 01:14:47,395
I'm going to cryo.
1549
01:14:55,882 --> 01:14:57,144
Meow.
1550
01:14:57,275 --> 01:14:58,015
Meow.
1551
01:15:03,281 --> 01:15:06,066
What I always say
is that stability
1552
01:15:06,197 --> 01:15:10,767
in the face of expected declineis actually improvement.
1553
01:15:10,897 --> 01:15:15,032
Metastatic bone cancer, if youlook in the references, weeks
1554
01:15:15,162 --> 01:15:16,163
to live.
1555
01:15:16,294 --> 01:15:19,515
We're going over half a year.
1556
01:15:19,645 --> 01:15:22,300
He had one major
cryo the first time.
1557
01:15:22,430 --> 01:15:25,956
He had a very tiny touchup I think six weeks later.
1558
01:15:26,086 --> 01:15:28,785
And now this is the third.
1559
01:15:28,915 --> 01:15:31,004
People say, well, that's
a lot of surgeries.
1560
01:15:31,135 --> 01:15:34,791
But when you realize, typicalradiation therapy for cancer
1561
01:15:34,921 --> 01:15:39,709
could be 16 to 25
radiations every day
1562
01:15:39,839 --> 01:15:42,189
for four or five weeks
under general anesthesia
1563
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:43,930
for 30 or 40 minutes.
1564
01:15:44,061 --> 01:15:47,325
So four anesthetic proceduresover six or seven months
1565
01:15:47,455 --> 01:15:49,153
is not that bad.
1566
01:15:49,283 --> 01:15:51,068
It's less invasive.
1567
01:15:51,198 --> 01:15:53,549
It's usually less bleeding.
1568
01:15:53,679 --> 01:15:56,769
It usually requires
less anesthetic.
1569
01:15:56,900 --> 01:16:00,991
We do a lot of tumors undera local where normally they'd
1570
01:16:01,121 --> 01:16:04,516
have to be put under anaesthesiafor 45 minutes to cut it out.
1571
01:16:04,647 --> 01:16:06,605
It's the only form of surgerythat's known to be immune
1572
01:16:06,736 --> 01:16:11,523
stimulating, tissue sparing.
1573
01:16:11,654 --> 01:16:13,656
Why this is not
standard operating
1574
01:16:13,786 --> 01:16:17,007
procedure in all thehospitals in the United States
1575
01:16:17,137 --> 01:16:19,575
is beyond me.
1576
01:16:19,705 --> 01:16:23,100
The other good thing
about it is his quality
1577
01:16:23,230 --> 01:16:25,537
of life is so amazing.
1578
01:16:25,668 --> 01:16:26,103
And that's what it's about.
1579
01:16:29,019 --> 01:16:32,065
But I want to save thesebiopsies because somewhere
1580
01:16:32,196 --> 01:16:37,244
along the line, sometotally conventionally based
1581
01:16:37,375 --> 01:16:40,465
veterinarian will say that itwas probably missed diagnosed
1582
01:16:40,596 --> 01:16:41,509
and never was a cancer.
1583
01:16:45,296 --> 01:16:46,732
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
1584
01:16:46,863 --> 01:16:47,951
Yeah?
1585
01:16:48,081 --> 01:16:49,213
OK.
1586
01:16:49,343 --> 01:16:51,128
Do I get a kiss, too?
1587
01:16:51,258 --> 01:16:52,216
Give your mommy a kiss.
1588
01:16:52,346 --> 01:16:54,566
Do I get kisses?
1589
01:16:54,697 --> 01:16:56,612
Only daddy gets kisses?
1590
01:16:56,742 --> 01:16:59,179
No, are you kidding me?
1591
01:16:59,310 --> 01:17:00,746
All right, how are we going?
1592
01:17:11,148 --> 01:17:13,890
People are always like, howmuch is this going to cost you?
1593
01:17:14,020 --> 01:17:16,588
Or just euthanize, euthanize,I said you take him,
1594
01:17:16,719 --> 01:17:18,242
you look at him in the eyes.
1595
01:17:18,372 --> 01:17:20,200
And you want to euthanize him?
1596
01:17:20,331 --> 01:17:24,248
Oh, no, no, no, he looks good,even his fur looks really good.
1597
01:17:24,378 --> 01:17:25,945
It starts looking
good right away.
1598
01:17:26,076 --> 01:17:27,251
[laughing]
1599
01:17:30,907 --> 01:17:32,212
He's been through
a lot of surgeries.
1600
01:17:32,343 --> 01:17:34,040
But he bounces back.
1601
01:17:34,171 --> 01:17:36,173
Two days later, he's
jumping in the lake.
1602
01:17:36,303 --> 01:17:39,002
He's not suffering at all.
1603
01:17:39,132 --> 01:17:40,220
That's why we're
doing what we're doing.
1604
01:17:40,351 --> 01:17:43,310
Because he's really showingthat he's got that strength
1605
01:17:43,441 --> 01:17:44,529
in him, that he's fighting.
1606
01:17:49,447 --> 01:17:53,103
When his original vet saidfour months, he's going to die,
1607
01:17:53,233 --> 01:17:57,150
I just thought that therewas nothing we could do.
1608
01:17:57,281 --> 01:18:00,284
And that was a year ago already.
1609
01:18:00,414 --> 01:18:03,113
He's gonna start
tossing sand towards me.
1610
01:18:03,243 --> 01:18:05,463
[laughing]
1611
01:18:21,174 --> 01:18:22,872
Now what I'm going to
do is I'm going to buzz
1612
01:18:23,002 --> 01:18:24,787
through the whole thing.
1613
01:18:24,917 --> 01:18:26,919
Do you want me to stop
you if I see something
1614
01:18:27,050 --> 01:18:28,355
that I think should be out?- No, make notes.
1615
01:18:28,486 --> 01:18:29,269
Do you want me to make--
1616
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:30,401
like, just go over it again.
1617
01:18:30,531 --> 01:18:31,968
Make notes and then
we'll go over it later.
1618
01:18:32,098 --> 01:18:34,927
Because I want to
kind of time it too.
1619
01:18:35,058 --> 01:18:37,408
Then stopwatch.
1620
01:18:37,538 --> 01:18:37,974
So you ready?
1621
01:18:38,104 --> 01:18:39,889
Yeah.
1622
01:18:40,019 --> 01:18:42,021
All right, let's get intosome real good stuff now.
1623
01:18:45,198 --> 01:18:49,072
This is a book about how
the pyramids were built.
1624
01:18:49,202 --> 01:18:51,552
At the same time
that this was done,
1625
01:18:51,683 --> 01:18:52,858
acupuncture was laid down.
1626
01:18:57,210 --> 01:19:02,563
Pet food, whole grain corn,whole grain wheat, the dogs
1627
01:19:02,694 --> 01:19:03,782
in nature eat at bakeries?
1628
01:19:08,134 --> 01:19:09,483
There's the tumor.
1629
01:19:09,614 --> 01:19:13,487
We infuse it with lidocaineor marcaine and we freeze it.
1630
01:19:13,618 --> 01:19:16,360
So cryosurgery is real medicine.
1631
01:19:16,490 --> 01:19:17,230
Stop.
1632
01:19:22,105 --> 01:19:23,497
You have to kind ofswitch gears a little bit.
1633
01:19:23,628 --> 01:19:26,109
You know, a lot of times
you talked like you
1634
01:19:26,239 --> 01:19:28,459
were talking to like
a general public, not
1635
01:19:28,589 --> 01:19:30,113
a veterinary student.
1636
01:19:30,243 --> 01:19:32,811
They want to know how
you made this dog better
1637
01:19:32,942 --> 01:19:34,030
How did you make
this cat better?
1638
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,206
And what did you
specifically use?
1639
01:19:36,336 --> 01:19:38,599
I can't teach you integrativemedicine in 35 minutes.
1640
01:19:38,730 --> 01:19:41,037
But that's why I think youshould take three to four cases
1641
01:19:41,167 --> 01:19:42,865
and basically do a rundown.
1642
01:19:42,995 --> 01:19:44,736
Like with Thea,
you did a great job
1643
01:19:44,867 --> 01:19:46,869
because you actually
said I gave her
1644
01:19:46,999 --> 01:19:50,002
an injection, a homeopathicremedy called Zeel
1645
01:19:50,133 --> 01:19:51,177
and it worked.
1646
01:19:51,308 --> 01:19:53,136
The next three animals
may not respond to Zeel.
1647
01:19:53,266 --> 01:19:54,528
But see, that's
what you need to say.
1648
01:19:54,659 --> 01:19:55,965
What did you put them on?
1649
01:19:56,095 --> 01:19:58,141
Individual
supplementation program
1650
01:19:58,271 --> 01:19:59,490
according to their blood work.
1651
01:19:59,620 --> 01:20:02,145
They are all individual,
different animals.
1652
01:20:02,275 --> 01:20:04,625
They might not like
that because when
1653
01:20:04,756 --> 01:20:08,716
they learn medicine, they arebeing taught everything works.
1654
01:20:08,847 --> 01:20:10,893
This drug will
create this thing.
1655
01:20:11,023 --> 01:20:12,851
But you're proving itdoesn't, because they're all
1656
01:20:12,982 --> 01:20:15,375
coming in after being on drugs.
1657
01:20:15,506 --> 01:20:18,074
These dogs, yes, went throughall the antibiotic courses
1658
01:20:18,204 --> 01:20:19,597
that they were recommended.
1659
01:20:19,727 --> 01:20:21,077
They went on steroids.
1660
01:20:21,207 --> 01:20:22,382
They were on surgery list.
1661
01:20:22,513 --> 01:20:24,123
They were on this.
1662
01:20:24,254 --> 01:20:27,605
But now you have to show themthat why my therapy worked
1663
01:20:27,735 --> 01:20:28,911
is because I used this.
1664
01:20:44,056 --> 01:20:45,492
Hi, baby.
1665
01:20:45,623 --> 01:20:46,058
Here we go.
1666
01:20:50,758 --> 01:20:53,239
Hey, here we go.
1667
01:20:53,370 --> 01:20:53,936
Come on.
1668
01:21:02,858 --> 01:21:04,990
TECHNICIAN: Mulligan is
here for Dr. Goldstein.
1669
01:21:08,951 --> 01:21:10,909
MARTY: This is
Mulligan's results.
1670
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:18,438
Creatinine, last
time it was 4.5.
1671
01:21:18,569 --> 01:21:19,700
Two points up.
1672
01:21:19,831 --> 01:21:20,310
Wait, is that good?
1673
01:21:20,440 --> 01:21:21,485
That's great.
1674
01:21:21,615 --> 01:21:22,355
It's gone down.
1675
01:21:22,486 --> 01:21:23,704
Yeah.
1676
01:21:23,835 --> 01:21:31,669
But the good one ishematocrit, 42 is normal,
1677
01:21:31,799 --> 01:21:36,543
and hemoglobin in
the normal range.
1678
01:21:36,674 --> 01:21:41,374
It's the enigma, AKA Mulligan.
1679
01:21:41,505 --> 01:21:45,291
You know, I've gone
back to our local vet
1680
01:21:45,422 --> 01:21:48,816
and told them about this.
1681
01:21:48,947 --> 01:21:53,082
And the particularsurgeon has been stunned.
1682
01:21:53,212 --> 01:21:55,345
She's really-- she just keepslooking at him and saying,
1683
01:21:55,475 --> 01:21:56,215
I can't get over--
1684
01:21:56,346 --> 01:21:57,086
how could this happen?
1685
01:21:57,216 --> 01:21:59,218
He is fabulous.
1686
01:21:59,349 --> 01:22:02,569
We are responsibly addressinghis condition as well
1687
01:22:02,700 --> 01:22:05,746
as we can with no side effects.
1688
01:22:05,877 --> 01:22:07,923
She can be doing this too.
1689
01:22:08,053 --> 01:22:10,273
I, you know, I'm
not just grateful.
1690
01:22:10,403 --> 01:22:13,754
I'm just like, I feel likeif ever he should fail,
1691
01:22:13,885 --> 01:22:15,365
I had all this gift.
1692
01:22:15,495 --> 01:22:16,975
It's really a gift.
1693
01:22:17,106 --> 01:22:18,237
No, now we're
going into years.
1694
01:22:18,368 --> 01:22:19,108
Yeah.
1695
01:22:19,238 --> 01:22:20,109
Hey, Mull.
1696
01:22:20,239 --> 01:22:23,634
Hey, Mully, we're
talking about you.
1697
01:22:23,764 --> 01:22:24,635
He thinks you're crazy.
1698
01:22:24,765 --> 01:22:25,941
[inaudible]
1699
01:22:26,071 --> 01:22:28,117
He thinks you're
crazy so he never
1700
01:22:28,247 --> 01:22:29,683
reacts to you appropriately.
1701
01:22:29,814 --> 01:22:31,076
Right, Mulligan.
1702
01:22:31,207 --> 01:22:32,121
PET OWNER: Or maybe
that is appropriate.
1703
01:22:43,306 --> 01:22:46,874
From the very firstsession, Dr. Marty didn't
1704
01:22:47,005 --> 01:22:48,920
say we can cure this dog.
1705
01:22:49,051 --> 01:22:51,053
He said he couldn't
cure the dog.
1706
01:22:51,183 --> 01:22:54,621
But he said he could
extend his wellness.
1707
01:22:54,752 --> 01:22:58,712
And by so doing,
dog himself will
1708
01:22:58,843 --> 01:23:02,194
be able to work on
his own problems
1709
01:23:02,325 --> 01:23:03,935
and hopefully get more life.
1710
01:23:07,504 --> 01:23:09,114
I'm not against
anything holistic.
1711
01:23:09,245 --> 01:23:11,987
I just never had tried
anything like that.
1712
01:23:12,117 --> 01:23:18,123
But his changes have
been so visible.
1713
01:23:18,254 --> 01:23:23,128
Seeing the difference, I startedexploring this kind of concept
1714
01:23:23,259 --> 01:23:26,305
holistically for
human beings where
1715
01:23:26,436 --> 01:23:30,005
they test blood and
change everything
1716
01:23:30,135 --> 01:23:32,094
according to what you need.
1717
01:23:38,665 --> 01:23:40,145
I have the worst
diet in the world.
1718
01:23:40,276 --> 01:23:45,672
I eat chocolate and Diet Pepsiand bacon and all of the above.
1719
01:23:45,803 --> 01:23:50,634
So I've scaled back on the kindsof not so good for you foods.
1720
01:23:50,764 --> 01:23:53,028
And then I started supplements.
1721
01:23:53,158 --> 01:23:55,900
And now I'm never tired.
1722
01:23:56,031 --> 01:23:58,555
I've lost a certain anxiety.
1723
01:23:58,685 --> 01:24:01,775
I'm much calmer.
1724
01:24:01,906 --> 01:24:02,646
But I still eat bacon.
1725
01:24:02,776 --> 01:24:03,473
I can't help it.
1726
01:24:13,265 --> 01:24:15,006
Does he seem better today?
1727
01:24:15,137 --> 01:24:17,661
I think he seems
about the same.
1728
01:24:17,791 --> 01:24:18,531
As yesterday?
1729
01:24:18,662 --> 01:24:19,663
As yesterday.
1730
01:24:19,793 --> 01:24:20,533
Yeah.
1731
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:24,102
How's his kidney values?
1732
01:24:24,233 --> 01:24:25,538
Did they run more blood?
1733
01:24:25,669 --> 01:24:27,366
We haven't
rechecked the values.
1734
01:24:27,497 --> 01:24:29,499
We're scheduled to do
that this afternoon.
1735
01:24:29,629 --> 01:24:30,761
OK.
1736
01:24:30,891 --> 01:24:33,024
We'll try to keep
him comfortable.
1737
01:24:46,603 --> 01:24:48,822
It's so surprising
how it came on so fast.
1738
01:24:48,953 --> 01:24:51,477
Dr. Ruskin, I'm so upset.
1739
01:24:51,608 --> 01:24:53,871
Aw, honey.
1740
01:24:54,001 --> 01:24:54,872
I don't want to lose him.
1741
01:24:55,002 --> 01:24:55,742
I know it.
1742
01:24:55,873 --> 01:24:56,743
I know it.
1743
01:25:02,793 --> 01:25:04,447
All of this, you know, rightnow I think all of this
1744
01:25:04,577 --> 01:25:07,319
is secondary to
kidney infection.
1745
01:25:07,450 --> 01:25:10,017
But for now, we're just kindof supporting him, flushing
1746
01:25:10,148 --> 01:25:11,454
him, keeping him hydrated.
1747
01:25:11,584 --> 01:25:12,977
You know, having
a kidney infection
1748
01:25:13,108 --> 01:25:15,762
is really exhausting, painful.
1749
01:25:15,893 --> 01:25:19,418
It really throws your
body into a tailspin.
1750
01:25:19,549 --> 01:25:22,726
You think we're
at the point where,
1751
01:25:22,856 --> 01:25:26,077
well, you don't know whathis quality of life will be.
1752
01:25:26,208 --> 01:25:27,774
I don't know.
1753
01:25:27,905 --> 01:25:30,342
Yeah, I mean, if I can getthe infection under control,
1754
01:25:30,473 --> 01:25:33,389
he could pull through
this and be fine.
1755
01:25:33,519 --> 01:25:37,001
If he continues to declinedespite what we're doing,
1756
01:25:37,132 --> 01:25:40,439
you know, then it's not good.
1757
01:25:40,570 --> 01:25:41,440
All right.
1758
01:25:41,571 --> 01:25:42,398
All right.
1759
01:25:48,404 --> 01:25:49,144
OK, stay right here.
1760
01:25:53,844 --> 01:25:54,671
Take your time.
1761
01:26:03,636 --> 01:26:06,073
You OK?
1762
01:26:06,204 --> 01:26:07,074
Take your time.
1763
01:26:07,205 --> 01:26:09,381
It's all right.
1764
01:26:09,512 --> 01:26:10,513
JACQUELINE: Oftentimes
with patients,
1765
01:26:10,643 --> 01:26:12,950
they have a way of speakingto you and telling you
1766
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,300
that they're done fighting.
1767
01:26:15,431 --> 01:26:17,563
The body kind of makes
the decision for you.
1768
01:26:17,694 --> 01:26:21,872
And you just know when
you look at the pet.
1769
01:26:22,002 --> 01:26:23,656
The disease, the
blastomycosis that he
1770
01:26:23,787 --> 01:26:26,877
has finally gained
access to his kidneys
1771
01:26:27,007 --> 01:26:29,314
and caused kidney failure.
1772
01:26:29,445 --> 01:26:32,796
So we all sort of came to theconclusion at the same time
1773
01:26:32,926 --> 01:26:36,800
that it was time to stop trying.
1774
01:26:52,816 --> 01:26:55,471
I really do fall in love withevery patient that I have.
1775
01:26:55,601 --> 01:27:03,348
And letting them go is
extremely difficult.
1776
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:07,047
Look at you standingthere like such a big girl.
1777
01:27:07,178 --> 01:27:09,572
You're so adorable.
1778
01:27:09,702 --> 01:27:13,445
RANDIE: There is definitelyan emotional connection.
1779
01:27:13,576 --> 01:27:16,143
It's hard to actually thinkabout how attached I get.
1780
01:27:21,627 --> 01:27:23,977
That's probably what
makes me a good vet
1781
01:27:24,108 --> 01:27:25,327
and also what tortures me.
1782
01:27:28,591 --> 01:27:31,724
And I sometimes wish I
would lose that quality
1783
01:27:31,855 --> 01:27:33,073
because it would be easier.
1784
01:27:33,204 --> 01:27:35,380
But I really don't want to.
1785
01:27:39,036 --> 01:27:40,864
Hi there, [inaudible],,
who's the best girl?
1786
01:27:40,994 --> 01:27:42,518
It's OK, love.
1787
01:27:42,648 --> 01:27:44,041
JENNA [VOICEOVER]: You'rethe one holding that life
1788
01:27:44,171 --> 01:27:45,564
and death in your hands.
1789
01:27:45,695 --> 01:27:49,307
And I know there are other oldervets that I know who actually
1790
01:27:49,438 --> 01:27:50,439
won't euthanize anymore.
1791
01:27:50,569 --> 01:27:52,789
They pass it off to
their other associates
1792
01:27:52,919 --> 01:27:55,313
because it's too
hard for them to do.
1793
01:27:55,444 --> 01:27:57,663
And I can understand
that as well.
1794
01:27:57,794 --> 01:27:59,926
Year after year after
year there is a toll.
1795
01:28:00,057 --> 01:28:02,929
And it's not just an
injection, it is--
1796
01:28:03,060 --> 01:28:06,237
there is a life and abeing and a consciousness.
1797
01:28:06,368 --> 01:28:09,284
And we're the ones left withthe aftermath and the pain
1798
01:28:09,414 --> 01:28:10,459
associated with that.
1799
01:28:10,589 --> 01:28:13,984
So that's probably the
hardest part of my job.
1800
01:28:22,819 --> 01:28:24,908
PET OWNER: The day
Waffles passed,
1801
01:28:25,038 --> 01:28:31,306
Dr. Marty came in and spoke withus about the death of a pet.
1802
01:28:31,436 --> 01:28:34,396
While he was talking
to us, I started
1803
01:28:34,526 --> 01:28:37,181
to think about all the
other veterinarians who
1804
01:28:37,312 --> 01:28:40,140
said to me, where you're
going is a load of crap.
1805
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,669
It's not an easy leap to make.
1806
01:28:46,799 --> 01:28:49,846
I think it's an easier leapif it involves a person.
1807
01:28:49,976 --> 01:28:52,239
But I think a lot of peoplehave a second thought
1808
01:28:52,370 --> 01:28:54,938
because they're like,well, it's just an animal.
1809
01:28:55,068 --> 01:28:59,377
But my opinion was that
he was just a puppy
1810
01:28:59,508 --> 01:29:04,339
and he deserved
to live his life.
1811
01:29:04,469 --> 01:29:06,602
TECHNICIAN: All Dr.Ruskin's patient, please.
1812
01:29:12,825 --> 01:29:14,827
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: Manyanimals that I've worked on,
1813
01:29:14,958 --> 01:29:21,312
we've taken past the pointof conventional medicine.
1814
01:29:21,443 --> 01:29:27,318
Even if they don't make it, whatI always say is in your heart
1815
01:29:27,449 --> 01:29:30,713
when you made that
choice to try this,
1816
01:29:30,843 --> 01:29:35,500
you made it to do the
best thing you could.
1817
01:29:35,631 --> 01:29:40,157
We try to get our patientsa better quality of life,
1818
01:29:40,287 --> 01:29:42,420
quantity usually
accompanies quality.
1819
01:29:48,426 --> 01:29:50,776
A dog will come here
with five weeks to live.
1820
01:29:50,907 --> 01:29:53,257
And we struggle, and we
work, and we do cryo.
1821
01:29:53,388 --> 01:29:54,127
And we're on supplements.
1822
01:29:54,258 --> 01:29:57,043
And we're taking blood.
1823
01:29:57,174 --> 01:30:00,090
Two years later, the tumor isstill there and this and that,
1824
01:30:00,220 --> 01:30:03,006
and the people say, do
you think it's working?
1825
01:30:03,136 --> 01:30:04,877
Yeah, he had five weeks
to live two years ago.
1826
01:30:22,112 --> 01:30:22,982
There it is.
1827
01:30:23,113 --> 01:30:24,331
Oh, I love this pin.
1828
01:31:18,168 --> 01:31:21,911
So I used to sit
here 48 years ago.
1829
01:31:22,041 --> 01:31:23,434
That was me, 1973.
1830
01:31:23,565 --> 01:31:24,304
[laughing]
1831
01:31:25,828 --> 01:31:28,831
Now there's 190
million registered cats
1832
01:31:28,961 --> 01:31:30,572
and dogs in the United States.
1833
01:31:30,702 --> 01:31:33,226
So we see many, many animals.
1834
01:31:33,357 --> 01:31:34,358
They come in young.
1835
01:31:34,489 --> 01:31:36,447
We do a minimal vaccine program.
1836
01:31:36,578 --> 01:31:37,796
We put them on a good diet.
1837
01:31:37,927 --> 01:31:38,971
When they're a year
old, we take blood,
1838
01:31:39,102 --> 01:31:40,669
we put them on supplements.
1839
01:31:40,799 --> 01:31:45,935
And they'll live to 14, 16,18, and sometimes beyond that.
1840
01:31:46,065 --> 01:31:48,241
You want to be
skeptical, you can.
1841
01:31:48,372 --> 01:31:51,636
But this is the future ofwhere our profession is going.
1842
01:31:51,767 --> 01:31:53,638
All right, let's
cut to the chase.
1843
01:31:53,769 --> 01:31:57,033
Cryosurgery, this dog
was referred to me.
1844
01:31:57,163 --> 01:32:00,906
And I asked the one oncologistwhat his prognosis was.
1845
01:32:01,037 --> 01:32:03,953
And he said probably
five months.
1846
01:32:04,083 --> 01:32:06,782
That's me freezing the tumor.
1847
01:32:06,912 --> 01:32:11,090
Two weeks later, five weekslater, four and a half months.
1848
01:32:11,221 --> 01:32:13,223
That's seven and a half months.
1849
01:32:13,353 --> 01:32:14,833
Last thing we heard
was the dog was
1850
01:32:14,964 --> 01:32:17,357
still alive eight years later.
1851
01:32:17,488 --> 01:32:20,578
The referring veterinarianreferred to me as a kook
1852
01:32:20,709 --> 01:32:22,798
when he found out
about cryosurgery.
1853
01:32:22,928 --> 01:32:25,322
This is what I'm trying
to break through.
1854
01:32:25,452 --> 01:32:26,802
This is the package insert.
1855
01:32:26,932 --> 01:32:30,414
And every vaccine intended foruse in healthy animals only.
1856
01:32:30,545 --> 01:32:33,678
I am not anti-vaccine.
1857
01:32:33,809 --> 01:32:36,376
We standardly
vaccinate all the time.
1858
01:32:36,507 --> 01:32:40,337
But this is a case I took on twomonths ago, 9 and 1/2 year old
1859
01:32:40,467 --> 01:32:42,208
dog from Virginia.
1860
01:32:42,339 --> 01:32:44,820
Tested positive
for three diseases
1861
01:32:44,950 --> 01:32:48,214
this veterinarian diagnosed,and then gave the dog a DHPP,
1862
01:32:48,345 --> 01:32:51,391
lepto, and Lyme vaccine.
1863
01:32:51,522 --> 01:32:54,177
Why do you take a dog
with three diseases
1864
01:32:54,307 --> 01:32:57,746
and challenge their immunesystem at the same time
1865
01:32:57,876 --> 01:33:00,183
with six more diseases?
1866
01:33:00,313 --> 01:33:03,665
This unfortunately isstandard operating procedure,
1867
01:33:03,795 --> 01:33:05,710
and in my opinion, malpractice.
1868
01:33:05,841 --> 01:33:08,931
Because it's violating what
the drug companies say.
1869
01:33:09,061 --> 01:33:12,587
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
1870
01:33:12,717 --> 01:33:15,111
All right, let's look
at a miracle case.
1871
01:33:15,241 --> 01:33:17,853
Let's look at what'scausing immune suppression.
1872
01:33:17,983 --> 01:33:20,638
Let's look at glandular
therapy, injectable
1873
01:33:20,769 --> 01:33:22,858
homeopathic remedies,
supplements,
1874
01:33:22,988 --> 01:33:25,469
intravenous vitamin C, thevalidity of acupuncture
1875
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:27,471
in veterinary medicine.
1876
01:33:27,602 --> 01:33:28,037
Who's got a question?
1877
01:33:31,257 --> 01:33:32,694
So obviously there's
not a whole lot
1878
01:33:32,824 --> 01:33:35,000
of this in our
official curriculum
1879
01:33:35,131 --> 01:33:36,436
here at the vet school.
1880
01:33:36,567 --> 01:33:39,657
So how would you recommendus as future veterinarians go
1881
01:33:39,788 --> 01:33:42,617
about learning all
this information
1882
01:33:42,747 --> 01:33:45,445
and these different
treatment options?
1883
01:33:45,576 --> 01:33:46,533
The one good
thing right now is
1884
01:33:46,664 --> 01:33:50,450
you have society in your favor.
1885
01:33:50,581 --> 01:33:53,453
You have crazy people
like me that are out
1886
01:33:53,584 --> 01:33:55,717
there that are showing this.
1887
01:33:55,847 --> 01:33:57,762
And the bandwagon ismoving in this direction.
1888
01:33:57,893 --> 01:34:00,591
Society is finally
starting to listen.
1889
01:34:00,722 --> 01:34:02,288
Question.
1890
01:34:02,419 --> 01:34:04,508
Do you think it's more weneed scientific information,
1891
01:34:04,639 --> 01:34:05,988
more scientific studies?
1892
01:34:06,118 --> 01:34:09,121
Or do you think that the yearsof data that we already have
1893
01:34:09,252 --> 01:34:10,732
is good enough to
make that change,
1894
01:34:10,862 --> 01:34:12,734
and now it's just a
policy kind of issue?
1895
01:34:12,864 --> 01:34:16,346
What a great question.
1896
01:34:16,476 --> 01:34:19,305
My number one criticism
over my career,
1897
01:34:19,436 --> 01:34:22,744
if your cases are so great,why haven't you published?
1898
01:34:22,874 --> 01:34:24,223
Why haven't you documented?
1899
01:34:24,354 --> 01:34:26,748
I'm a clinician.
1900
01:34:26,878 --> 01:34:28,532
Animals are coming
to me from all
1901
01:34:28,663 --> 01:34:32,841
over the United States withreally distraught families.
1902
01:34:32,971 --> 01:34:36,801
I'm not going to take
nine cases of lymphoma,
1903
01:34:36,932 --> 01:34:40,936
put three on alternatives,put three on chemo,
1904
01:34:41,066 --> 01:34:43,765
and put three on a placebo.
1905
01:34:43,895 --> 01:34:45,854
That's not me.
1906
01:34:45,984 --> 01:34:50,946
So my hope in my lifetime isfor me and other integrative
1907
01:34:51,076 --> 01:34:54,297
veterinarians to work inconjunction with a facility
1908
01:34:54,427 --> 01:34:59,258
like Cornell to get
science-based evidence
1909
01:34:59,389 --> 01:35:01,173
that integrative medicine works.
1910
01:35:01,304 --> 01:35:04,829
You're not going against
what you're studying,
1911
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,397
you're incorporating more.
1912
01:35:07,527 --> 01:35:10,269
So I so appreciate
you guys coming today.
1913
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:11,227
Thank you.
1914
01:35:11,357 --> 01:35:13,795
[applause]
1915
01:35:15,187 --> 01:35:18,538
Start the bandwagon rolling.
1916
01:35:18,669 --> 01:35:19,801
I'm a first-year.
1917
01:35:19,931 --> 01:35:22,586
So I just started
three weeks ago.
1918
01:35:22,717 --> 01:35:24,327
I don't know very much yet.
1919
01:35:24,457 --> 01:35:27,896
But I'm really glad that Ifound this during my first year.
1920
01:35:28,026 --> 01:35:30,463
Because now I have the wholerest of my first year and all
1921
01:35:30,594 --> 01:35:32,509
the other years still
that I can explore
1922
01:35:32,639 --> 01:35:34,337
it and learn more about it.
1923
01:35:34,467 --> 01:35:36,295
MARTY [VOICEOVER]: I
honestly never thought
1924
01:35:36,426 --> 01:35:41,170
that I would see the acceptanceof my work within my lifetime.
1925
01:35:41,300 --> 01:35:45,348
So it's becoming excitingfor me now because we have
1926
01:35:45,478 --> 01:35:48,525
an audience that'll listen.
1927
01:35:48,655 --> 01:35:51,615
I set myself up for ahell of a lot of hardship.
1928
01:35:51,746 --> 01:35:53,791
It's not been easy.
1929
01:35:53,922 --> 01:35:58,274
But if I gave up knowing
that this can be done
1930
01:35:58,404 --> 01:36:03,409
and this could be accepted,that would kill me.
1931
01:36:03,540 --> 01:36:07,979
Because picture the dog andpicture the cat in your house
1932
01:36:08,110 --> 01:36:12,070
wagging its tail andlicking your face and how
1933
01:36:12,201 --> 01:36:14,420
good that makes you feel.
1934
01:36:14,551 --> 01:36:16,118
It's incredible.
1935
01:36:16,248 --> 01:36:17,946
And we need that.
1936
01:36:18,076 --> 01:36:21,688
Because we don't wag
our tails enough.
1937
01:36:21,819 --> 01:36:24,779
No, they do this sevendays a week, 24 hours a day
1938
01:36:24,909 --> 01:36:26,171
except when they're sleeping.
1939
01:36:26,302 --> 01:36:29,392
So if I can make the
companion animals better
1940
01:36:29,522 --> 01:36:32,351
and they can bring us more joy--
1941
01:36:32,482 --> 01:36:33,831
what?
1942
01:36:33,962 --> 01:36:35,877
How much more of a win
can you have in life?
1943
01:36:44,581 --> 01:36:48,106
