- What’s really causing DM (hint: it’s environmental, not genetic)
- Why your dog’s nervous system is struggling
- Two ways to help your dog’s body clear the problem — and start recovering

The speaker, veterinarian Dr. Renee Tucker, argues that canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is not a genetic disease, contrary to the mainstream veterinary understanding. She claims DM symptoms—such as hind-leg weakness, paw dragging, incontinence, and progressive paralysis—are actually caused by the accumulation of what she calls “synthetic venoms” from environmental sources like Roundup, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
To support this, she cites claims from Brian Ardis, who alleges that Roundup contains snake and cone snail venoms and that glyphosate functions as a synthetic venom. She further suggests these substances accumulate in nerves and the spinal cord, interfering with nerve signaling and causing DM symptoms.
Dr. Tucker proposes that the solution is to remove these alleged venoms through:
- Her proprietary Tucker BioKinetic Technique (TBT) energy work.
- An herbal supplement called DM Resolve, which she says contains “focused energy” that helps unstick venom from nerves.
She concludes that DM can be reversed if the body is helped to eliminate these venoms.
Important context: The claims presented in this video are highly controversial and conflict with the current scientific consensus. Veterinary research generally considers DM to be a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with genetic risk factors, and there is no established scientific evidence that DM is caused by “synthetic venoms” from Roundup or that energy work or herbal products can cure the disease.
Canine Degenerative Myelopathy, or DM. If you know about DM, you know it’s terrible. People say DM is genetic and there’s nothing you can do about it, but I say it’s not genetic and that there is help that actually fixes your dog. So let’s cover what DM actually is and then how to fix it. Some of the symptoms are paw dragging, knuckling over, difficulty getting up, incontinence, both pooping and peeing, and some dogs have trouble eating because they have trouble swallowing. I could list more symptoms, but I would appreciate if people who do have DM dogs could list their dog’s symptoms in the comments to help others. Now, the general idea is that it’s a neurological deficit. Nerve stimulus is just not getting to the hind end to start with, and then it progresses up to the front end. Now the owners are amazing trying to care for them, but it’s heartbreaking because it’s progressive. It just gets worse and worse. We’re told this is just sometimes what happens to some dogs and it’s genetic. You can do a genetic test and many dogs with DM show a genetic change, although not all. So now let’s talk about what’s really going on.Renee Tucker, DVM (00:01:24.00)
I don’t believe this is genetic at all. I do believe in epigenetics, which, if you haven’t heard, is when something in the environment causes changes in DNA expression. Epigenetics is the study of how behaviors and, and environmental factors, such as diet, stress, and toxins, can cause chemical modifications that turn genes on or off. Crucially, these modifications do not alter the underlying DNA sequence, but they dictate how the body reads those genetic instructions. So, what epigenetic thing could be causing the DM problem? So what’s really happening is that synthetic venom is affecting the dog. Yes, synthetic venom. You probably have a million questions right now. Let me try to answer them in some kind of logical fashion. First, where’s the synthetic venom coming from? Mostly from Roundup and other fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Here is a clip from Dr. Brian Artis talking about Roundup.
Speaker 2 (00:02:33.12)
I actually had tested Roundup and Roundup Plus from Home Depot. I took it to a lab and I wanted to know, is there any venoms in any of these? 7 venoms from different snakes and cone snails are in Roundup. Roundup Plus had 11. They are using venoms all over the world. As you eat the venom, you’re going to develop cancer. Why? Glyphosate either is synthetic venom, and if you, if you want to be conspiratorial, go ahead. Monsanto owns, in their own claims, look it up, they have on the research studies, Monsanto owns the largest patent library of venoms used as insecticides. Go ahead, wrap your head around this. Why would they be studying so much venom and own patents on venom and then sell Monsanto’s glyphosate to the whole world and never tell you that it’s actually synthetic venom?
Renee Tucker, DVM (00:03:25.11)
While your brain is processing this, I would like to tell you a little story about my own experience with Roundup, because I think that some people have not ever used it. So about 20, 25 years ago, I had a small 100-year-old farm I had this gravel driveway and I was going to ask horse clients to come in with their horse trailer, but this driveway was covered in weeds, not the easy ones, but instead the thick gnarly ones that have been there for years, so they’re woody, about a foot and a half feet tall. So I was having some clients come in in about 5 days and I thought, well, I’ll just use this Roundup stuff, which I’d never used before, and I’ll spray them. And I was expecting them to be kind of wilty the next day and slowly die off the next 2-3 days, and then I’d have the time to pull them up really quick before the clients got there. So I sprayed the weeds just normally, not super saturated or anything, and I come back the next morning looking for these wilty weeds, hoping my plan will work out. I come out and the weeds are not wilty, they are brown and crispy.
Renee Tucker, DVM (00:04:35.23)
I gave one a little, like, nudge with my foot, disintegrated into dust. On the one hand, I was amazed. On the other hand, I was horrified. What in the heck? At the time, I thought, what kind of chemical could do that to a living plant overnight? Crispify it to dust? I didn’t know what to think at that time, but I just did not use it again. It’s, like, too scary. So then fast forward to finding out just a couple years ago from Dr. Ardis that Roundup is all synthetic venoms. What do synthetic venoms do to animals? Well, most venoms paralyze nerves. That’s what they do, and that’s what’s happening to our pets. The venoms accumulate in the pets, in the spinal cord and the nerve. They cause what we call paralysis because the signals are not getting through. The body’s saying, hey, let’s stand up now, and the legs aren’t hearing that. Now you might be wondering, okay, but I don’t use Roundup, so how can my pet be getting this? So even if you don’t spray pesticides, your neighbor might. And unfortunately, Roundup has been found in the breast milk of every woman in every country on the planet.
Renee Tucker, DVM (00:05:56.01)
It’s in the water table. There is not a single city filtration, or any filtration that I’m aware of, that gets rid of venom. This type of stuff is everywhere. In fact, Roundup is sprayed on wheat before harvest because it’s better for their machines. So it’s on the wheat, and there’s wheat in some form in most processed dog foods. So our bodies and the dogs’ bodies can slowly get rid of venom. But not anywhere near fast enough for the amount that’s getting accumulated. So what can we do? The venoms have an affinity for nerves, right? They stick to the nerves and cause paralysis, including nerves of the spinal cord. It’s difficult for the body to remove them. It takes a lot of focused energy to remove the venom, so removal is slow. For example, perhaps you’ve gotten a spider bite in the past. That bite is there for days, little bump. It takes days, if not a week, for the body to remove venom from one spider bite. Our DM dogs are dealing with way more venom than what is contained in one spider bite. So if you wanna fix this, then you’re gonna have to do something a little out of the box.
Renee Tucker, DVM (00:07:16.08)
I am a veterinarian, by the way, with 30 years of experience. I am certified in chiropractic and acupuncture, and I created TBT Energy Work. The only thing that can unstick venom is focused energy, right? Once the venom is unstuck and free from the nerves, then your dog’s immune system can move the venom out. What if you could give your dog more focused energy to unstick the venom? Well, you can in two ways. First, any TBT practitioner can do this for you. That’s the Tucker BioKinetic Technique. The other option is using this product, DM Resolve. This DM Resolve is simply herbs containing focused energy. This is the weird out-of-the-box part, but it works. If your dog has had this problem for years, it is going to take some time to clear it out, but it goes much faster than you would think. People generally start seeing some changes within a week. The link is in the description. So in summary, DM is not genetic. It’s simply the accumulation of synthetic venoms. Your dog’s body needs help to get rid of the venoms, and then they’ll be fine. If you have any questions, just put them in the comments and I’ll personally respond.
