Foreign. Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So the Wall Street Journal had a little bit of rage bait today talking about animal acupuncture and whether or not it is worth it. So I will tell you, I normally am a skeptic. Normally I would read something like this and I would be the one filled with rage going, how d you. This is usury, this is fraud. But my dog many, many times has had acupuncture. Yes, my fat ten and a half year old French bulldog has an acupuncturist and I'll tell you why. So he ruptured a disc in his neck in 2020. It was incredibly painful and sad. He had to have surgery and he was miraculously improve. He had the surgery and it gave him a new lease on life. And then in 2022 he started having symptoms again. Obviously I didn't want him to go through the trauma of another surgery. I didn't want to go through the expense because the first time around I didn't have pet insurance. The second time around I had pet insurance, but that was a pre existing condition so they wouldn't have paid for it. So we turned to pet acupuncture and, and I gotta say, like, it healed him up. He had three sessions and he was good to go. The, the muscle guarding stopped, he was able to shake his head, he had a lot more energy because he wasn't in chronic pain and it really worked. And you know, we tried acupuncture because the rational vet, the one who had been to veterinary school and who treats animals every single day, said there's actually data that shows if your pet is having these neurological issues, then acupuncture for whatever reason may actually help them. And it did. And now unfortunately, my little sweet chubby dumpling is undergoing a dental procedure today because he can't open his mouth, which is problematic when you try to bark or eat. And it's been a few weeks of soft food and anti inflammatories and all of that stuff. And I called the acupuncturist over a couple times and unfortunately this round it did not work, which makes me think it is not his neck. But the point is, if something works and it is for your pet, then you're going to spend money on it. I'm sorry. Like we feed our pets better than we feed our children. If you look at the ingredients in farmer's dog, they are far more healthy than whatever your children are eating at school, whether or not you pack them lunch, which if it's organic and made with care and sliced to perfection like you are an amateur sushi chef. They are not going to eat it. They are going to trade it and they're going to eat unfortunately processed crap at school. But if you sent your kid to school with farmer's dog packets, they would probably live to be 150 years old. Old. A good friend of mine has always said, if you pay, they will live. And I hope that's the case with my dog because I if, if it would help, I would give my dog a kidney. And I spend more time trying to strategize and game plan and whiteboard what might be wrong with him and how to make it better. I spend more time looking up supplements for my dog that than I do looking at serums for myself, which is a lot of time because if you know me, you know that I absolutely love serums. And if Instagram wants to show me a new one, there's a really good possibility that I'm going to buy it. The only thing that, that I kind of regret right now, or that I shouldn't say I regret, because there's nothing to regret. The one thing that I long for is, do you ever see the guy, the German guy who is the chiropractic, the chiropractor on Instagram who adjusts dogs and like instantly makes them better? Okay. Not only do I want that for my dog, like, I really feel like if there were a trustworthy alpha male, German, take charge loving chiropractor that he would snap my dog into shape and in one move, my dog would be all better. Because these, these videos are truly amaz. Because he takes a giant dog who is clearly in pain and the dog is growling and he does a. And the dog looks at him like what? And then knows something really strange and drastic has happened. And then the dogs completely relax. They are pain free and filled with love. And I think that is the ultimate goal. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy saves the World right after this. You know, all we want is some quick fix that takes away the problem and we are instantly better and out of discomfort. And of course, like, we can voice when we are in pain, when we are upset, when we need something we're not getting. But dogs can't do that. So if you've got an acupuncturist. And by the way, the Wall Street Journal profiled a woman who is a vet by trade, but now charges between three and five hundred dollars per house visit. I gotta tell you, like, the guy that we have coming over is 200 bucks. He's $200. He's great. He's. He's a vet. He has been a vet for decades. He has studied for years. He has, you know, clean, fully wrapped needles. He's very meticulous and careful and thoughtful. 200 bucks. Like, if you're paying 500 bucks for an acupuncturist in New York City, you are overpaying. Like, you. You have not done your due diligence. You have not gone out and found the person who can do exactly what the super, super high end person is. But they're just marking it up because they know people will pay for it. Because we love our pets. We love our dogs more than we love other people. And I mean, have you seen the campaign to save Lucy, the combat veteran who had his dog taken from him in Virginia? And they are now threatening to euthanize the dog because the dog got off leash for like 30 seconds. And a Karen neighbor called animal control and they took the dog away. The dog has. Lucy has been in jail for a month. And it absolutely makes my blood boil. So I retweeted it a couple weeks ago. I don't know if you can say retweet. I don't know what you're supposed to think. I reposted it on X because we're supposed to use totally different words now so people could read the story about Brennan and his beloved combat dog that he got when he was fighting for this country. And now they're threatening to kill the dog, which is awful. And the people in charge in Virginia, the fact that they have not realized that people love dogs more than they love other people. Just give Brennan his dog back. Like, that's make their family whole. And even I'm sure he would promise to move out of state if he were reunited with his poor beloved Lucy, who at this point has to be lonely and scared. So if there is a way for you to make your loving companion feel better, then just go ahead and do it. If you have the money and it's going to make them happy, then who cares? You're not going to overindulge your dog by getting them acupuncture, but it really does work and you might make them feel better. So if your dog is in pain and you have been on the fence, then I say pull the trigger. Don't drop the plunger. And that means, like, you know, don't euthanize your dog. Find another way of using needles productively to ease your pet's pain, because acupuncture. I'm telling you, like there, there is a very high probability that it will actually work. So. And if we have to work together to make dogs lives better, then let's go ahead and do it. And that includes the dogs on Skid Row in Los Angeles that are being used as living fentanyl test strips. Drug addicts on Skid Row in LA are giving their dogs drugs and if they don't die, they go ahead and take the same drugs. It's awful. We, we do need to recalibrate as a society. And if dogs are the ones who help us do that, then spend a little extra money and make them comfortable because they are the ones who are saving the world. This has been Kennedy Saves the World.
