It's sad to see that not much real explanation for how it really work! Yes, the pet food IgY will bind the Fel d1 in saliva! Do you know when cats grooming their hair with saliva, "no pet food" is in their mouths? In addition, do you know that Fel d1 will also being produced in sebaceous glands and many other glands rather than just saliva gland? Furthermore, do you know that it will produce negative feedback for cats to produce more Fel d1 for compensation, just like the case of type II diabetes? These are why many people still get allergy without any improvement with this strategy...
thank you so much creating this video ! you shorten down my research time a lot !! I am creating my Charity brand which involves cats and therefore, this is a huge advice !! thank you so much!! really appreciate it :)
So I know like 5 percent of people with Asthma are sensitive to NSAIDS and I think it's around 5.4 percent for ASA. Why is that? Cause I can't take any pharmaceutical pain reliever and I hate it. Haven't found a safe alternative either. Also, my father and brother brother both had asthma but they outgrew it by the time they were 16. I'm almost 30 and I still have it. Do I just have unlucky genetics?
hi your question is from a while ago but as a respiratory therapist id really like to answer it! aspirin and other NSAIDS inhibit a protein called cyclooxygenase (COX), this protein has an inflammatory effect in most areas of the body, and that's part of why aspirin helps relieve pain. however! in the airway the protein actually has a bronchoprotective effect (essentially, it helps prevent asthma attacks). because of that, when some asthmatics take NSAIDS, the inhibition of that protein will trigger an asthma attack! a possible alternative could be taking acetaminophen since it's not an NSAID but you should consult a pharmacist before taking it because it can be bad for certain health problems.
I appreciate the response! I don't think I've ever heard of that protein. Is that also why asthmatics should steer away from dairy products too? I've recently found out that acetaminophen is okay for me to take. It just doesn't always do the job, but it's better than nothing. The only other thing I've found useful is to take ginger and/or turmeric in some form every day; however, that's more preventative.
I have questions that I can't seem to find answers to and I'm hoping you can help. My 12 year old is very allergic to cats but is in love with them. I have about 10 hens in my backyard now and more on the way. Here are my questions: How close in contact with cats do the hens need to be? We have several stray cats that frequent my backyard but do not have access to the run. My second question is, if I did a combination of feeding my daughter the eggs from my hens in conjunction with giving the same eggs to my kitten (I would most likely dehydrate the eggs and mix powder with her food) would that help? (Assuming I was able to get a barn cat or two to stay with my hens full time if needed.) I'm not trying to cure her but I'm trying to help her if I can achieve the same conditions at home. I've done the research and I know it's done through the cats saliva, but I've also read that it could help build immunity/tolerance by eating the eggs, which we do all the time. I just want to make sure the hens are around cats if it could help. Thank you.
I would love to know the answer too! I have 30 chickens and one cat and a husband that is allergic...how much does the cat need to be exposed to the chicken to create the antibodies?!
I might be able to help. From what I've researched, the cats and hens need to share the same bedding and step on the same ground to transfer the antibodies. About the feeding, I suggest mixing the whole egg (the raw egg yolk and whites) into wet food and feed it. Cats can easily digest all of a Raw egg with no issues.
It's not just ANY eggs. They need to be eggs (mainly the yolks) from chickens living with cats, in close enough proximity to trigger the chickens' immune response. Easiest way is to just feed your cat the Purina LiveClear food. They say it takes about 3 weeks for the cat's allergens to start being neutralized. Your mileage may vary.
@@aspensulphate Good to know it is specifically the yolks. Thank you. I understand they must be eggs from chickens regularly exposed to cats, that is not my question. I just wanted to know if there was a general time frame. That is an expensive cat food. If people can afford it, they can certainly go that route. I have chickens here on the farm, so it is actually easier (and A LOT cheaper) for me to give both cats eggs.
I've not long heard that it is!! So now, I can return to being a one cat lady, but also I'm fancying a border collie.....plus they can be company for each other....
What are the long term impacts on your cat when it eats this kind of food? All I see are videos of humans talking about how it impacts them, I'd really like to know how it affects my feline friend.
Dry cat in general is pretty poor for cats, so if you are able to just buy a eggs that were exposed to cats and mix it into wet food, it would be better. The ingredients of liveclear aren't horrible, but arent great either.
@@notstarved4634 This is a good point. It would be nice if Purina would offer the egg powder separately, so that owners could combine it with actual healthy cat food. I can't see them ever doing that. If they have a patent on the process, when that patent expires, the competitive market might fill that need.
Is there any research if this works on dogs as well. Want a dog my entire life, but hubby is allergic 😭 I understand that the chickens have to be exposed to the animal you are trying to combat the allery of. Is there such egg yoke powder under development for dogs?
So... if I have a barn cat that hangs out near my chickens, would that be enough exposure for the chickens?
This is amazing! I had no idea. Great explanation!!

How long is it necessary to feed them eggs before exposure to dander doesn't cause an allergic reaction?

If you get a Bengal mix cat they will get along with Border Collies wonderfully :)

I think the effect has only been found with cats, and only with the Fel D1 allergen.
WOW
Excellent video, Doc, but I'm sorry, that bow tie is doing you no favors. It's positively clownish.
FACTS!! MAN LOOKS LIKE A DAPPER SETH ROGAN
