EP 74: Detoxing Heavy Metals with Plant Stem Cell Therapy with Rita Hogan

Author: Dr. Judy Morgan February 17, 2026 Duration: 1:01:26

Dr. Judy Morgan and Rita Hogan, The Canine Herbalist discuss detoxing heavy metals in our pets using plant stem cell therapy. They highlight common toxic metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum, which can accumulate from various sources including food, water, and vaccines. Rita emphasizes the importance of hair mineral analysis for detection and explains that plant stem cells, derived from germinating seeds and buds, bind and detoxify heavy metals, supporting organ function and lymphatic systems. Specific remedies include bilberry for aluminum, grapevine and black poplar for lead, and propolis for mold. Rita also stresses the need for regular detoxification protocols and hormone support for spayed and neutered pets.  Tune in to learn more!

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #3
If your dog is slowing down, struggling with stairs or hesitating to jump in the car, you know something isn't right. Joint and mobility issues are a leading cause of shortened lifespan, and finding a supplement that truly helps can be frustrating. That's why my colleague integrated veterinarian Dr Peter Dobias, with more than 35 years of experience, created Joint Powder, the world's first fermented joint supplement for dogs. Thanks to a proprietary dual stage fermentation process, it is seven to 10 times more bioavailable than conventional supplements, delivering more effective support where your dog needs it most. Made with 13 human grade natural and organic ingredients, joint powder supports joint comfort, flexability, cartilage repair, bone health and tendon function. So a single formula can replace three to five separate products and lower your costs. It's designed for every life stage, helping puppies and young dogs develop strong ligaments and joints and supporting a healthy inflammatory response in adult and senior dogs. It comes in recyclable glass and is never sourced from China. Give your dog the chance to move with joy again.
