I’m having female hormonal issues. What tests should I ask my doctor to order to be more thorough? Also, should I see my regular gyn or look for a specialist? What would the specialist be called?

It would be wise to go to your gynecologist to make sure that you have a physical exam. Afterwards, contact us for the serum, urine, and saliva tests needed. (More info in video)

Hi I have an enlarged parotid gland the size of 2 kidney beans. It was caused when I removed my root canal and tooth. The dentist said they cleaned the area but the following week the left side of my face began to swell. The dentist said this was normal. The swelling went down but was left with a swollen hard gland. Dentist says it could take up to a year to go down. It’s now two years. Please help.

You may have an infection. I would consider our parotid gland product, and to read the “Cataracts” chapter in my “Guide to Prevent Surgery,” since the parotid gland/cataracts are in the same body physiology. (More info in video)

Please help Dr. Bob!  My almost 3 yr old grandson has terrible times with his bowel movements. He goes over the course of 3 to 4 days in little amounts mostly soft. He’s still in diapers and his but ends up being raw, literally to the point of bleeding no matter how fast we try to catch him to change him. I suggested probiotics but they are recommended for 4 yrs and up for kids. He does not eat an all organic diet which I think contributes. Please can you give any advice?  I can’t find anything of the sort on your website or on tube with Dr. Bob.

Please contact us for the products we discussed in this question. Also, consider thinly sliced green cabbage to promote healing in the digestive tract. (More info in video)

Question: for older people what do we do for a) always feeling cold even with an extra sweater and jacket on and b) most of the time, but not always, cold fingers.  

Chronic “cold” is always a subpar thyroid. I discuss this in further detail in my “Guide to Balance Female Hormones,” and “Guide to Prevent Surgery.”

Whenever I sit down to eat, especially at home, my nose starts to run. It is a real hassle. I asked an EENT doctor about it and he just said that this affects a number of people in my age group (60s). I don’t believe it is just something to put up with.

More than likely, you have a food sensitivity. At our practice, we have utilized molybdenum to help those with food sensitivities, in addition to our food sensitivity test. (More info in video)

I would like to know the root cause of toenail fungus. I realize it is a fungus, but there must be some internal mechanism that triggers it.

Toenail fungus is a gut problem. More information can be found in my “Guide to Prevent Surgery.”

Checking to see if you would recommend Colloidal Silver as a mouth rinse?

I would. We personally use Agrisept.

Having trouble keeping blood sugars below 150. Believe I have a good diet low in carbs and meats. I take several supplements (actually a lot) that are recommended to lower BS, including aloe vera (from Mike Adams), cinnamon, etc. I am also on metformin and glipizide for a very long time. Also, walk 1 – 2 miles at least 3-4 x a week on uneven terrain. What am i to do?

I would stop eating fruit, and how is your gallbladder doing? (More info in video)
