I really want you to talk about colon issues. Especially pain in the right side of my colon and a lot of gas in the morning. I canceled my appointments and got a colonoscopy because I want to heal myself naturally. I eat healthy. But my issue is I’m anxious all the time.

For your colon, the first suggestion based on your explanation would be to do the FIT Test to evaluate what foods you are sensitive to.

What type of apple should we eat?

I eat organic honeycrisp apples.

Dr. Bob! Can you do a video on what you consume these days? I’ve been a HUGE & LONGTIME fan of yours, over 10+ years of watching your stuff. First found out about you on the YouTube channel “iHealthTube” so many years ago and loved you then. I believe you did an interview with them, and you drank reverse osmosis with I think pink Himalayan salt; but what’s your choice these days? 

For what I eat, I focus on non-starchy green veggies and organic animal protein.

Also, do you have any information on the popular Kangen water? Thoughts & Opinions? 

I do not have experience with Kangen water.

Any recommendations for my 5 year old daughters seasonal allergies? She’s been fighting it off and on for a few weeks with intermittent croupy cough as well. She’s also got a stuffy nose and mucus drainage. I’ve tried Genexa Kids Allergy Care but it didn’t seem to help. She takes a daily liquid multivitamin and probiotics. Thanks so much! You’re a true blessing!

Seasonal allergies from my experience are often impacted by food choices. I would avoid sugar, wheat, dairy and peanut butter. You may consider a Thyroid Panel.

What do the white moons on our nails tell us about our health? I noticed I just have a little moon on my thumb, however other people have noticeable moons on their nails?

Everyone is different. The fingernail moons are the rounded shadows at the base of your nails. A fingernail moon is also called a lunula, which is Latin for little moon. The place where each nail begins growing is known as the matrix. This is where the new cells are made that will make up the nail. The lunula is part of the matrix. You may consider a CBC with differential.

These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including blocked Fallopian tubes. If you have any general health questions, please email us, askdrbob@druglessdoctor.com, and we will present them in an upcoming episode. Thank you!

Hello, Dr. Bob. Thank you for your videos and advice. My question is that I have head pounding not pain but feel pain everywhere and pounding. I had 4 months of chiropractic adjustments for my neck, sometimes good, sometimes bad. My right shoulder rhomboid pain everyday especially when I lift heavy. I don’t know what to do for my head, nerves?

Thank you for the contact, I would need to know a lot more about you to make any recommendations. It is possible you may have a food sensitivity?

My sister-in-law mentioned igG supplementation to me. What is it exactly and what are your thoughts?

From Biotics Research Corporation: Immuno-gG® supplies a supplemental source of immunoglobulin G from Bovine Colostrum. It is fortified with the amino acids L-Lysine and L-Arginine. As a source of colostrum, it provides support for healthy immune function. Colostrum supplies proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins (antibodies) that support the immune system. The antibody levels in colostrum can be 100 times higher than that present in regular cow’s milk. Bovine colostrum may also be beneficial for boosting the immune system, healing injuries, repairing nervous system damage, for improving mood, and for facilitating a sense of wellbeing.

Hello! My 32 yr. old daughter is pregnant for the first time and has non stop nausea, constipation, and pain in her abdomen. She has been under chiropractic care, with little to no improvement.  Please help! She has lost 20 pounds and is 12 weeks along.  She cannot keep any supplements down.

It can be a lot of possibilities; we have had success with Bio-CMP, Celtic Sea Salt and Super Phosphozyme.

I watched your show on Marilyn and Sarah and I was captivated by the solutions that you have provided. I would like to make an inquiry. I have been told that my Fallopian tubes are blocked, is there a natural remedy for this? 

Interesting – I have noticed those with low zinc have scarring or adhesions.

These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including Erythromelalgia. If you have any general health questions, please email us, askdrbob@druglessdoctor.com, and we will present them in an upcoming episode. Thank you!

My husband was just diagnosed with Erythromelalgia. His feet have been very painful and his doctor put him on Gabapentin to possibly help with the pain. What vitamin or gut health regime could I get him on to support his system or possibly do a liver cleanse. His A1C has always been 5.3 or 5.4 and now it’s 6. He’s been on the medicine a week now so don’t know if medicine is making that go up? Any advice would be appreciated. He is not overweight and eats healthy.

For Erythromelalgia, I would need to see his lab results to make any suggestions. Please consider a wellness consultation with me.

Is there anything that can be done or treatment for absent seizures?

I would suggest an Opti-Cardio Plus Profile to evaluate the current state of health.

I recently had blood work done and the doctor reported I have high levels of iron. She asked if I was taking an iron supplement, which I am not. What could be the root factor of high iron levels? 

We have treated elevated iron levels. We do have a protocol but as I mentioned above, there are so many factors to take into consideration to make a recommendation.

Could you please say something about the different kinds of iodine supplements available and how to choose one? I understand the potassium iodide added to table salt readily evaporates so we are not even benefiting from that. The average dietary iodine intake in Japan is 12.5 mg. Most of the supplements in American stores are just a few micrograms of potassium iodide. Americans don’t have a fondness for eating sea vegetables. Dried culinary seaweed is readily available. I understand there are several forms of iodine not counting topical ones. What’s a person to do?

I am familiar with Biotics’ Iodizyme and I take 1 daily, which is 12.5 mg.

I’ve been taking Bio-D Mulsion Forte too, but mine has vitamin K in it. I also have taken the capsules that have 5000 of vitamin D. Is it better to just take the liquid one and take on two drops instead of the capsules? I would like the liquid one to be more absorbing.

I personally use 2 drops of D Mulsion Forte daily.

What water purifier brand do you use?

Frizzlife SK99 3-Stage Under Sink Water Filter

I recently had blood work done and the doctor reported I have high levels of iron. She asked if I was taking an iron supplement, which I am not. What could be the root factor of high iron levels? 

You could have a condition called Hemochromatosis. We do have a protocol for high iron- you would need to be monitored closely at first. I would need to see your labs or we would run them for you.

I go to a chiropractor now and have been going for over 40 yrs and love what they can do. Right now my Chiropractor says there is nothing he knows of to treat incontinence with chiropractic treatment. I am assuming you do or at least have some idea to help someone in my situation. My biggest problem right now is getting up at night some nights 4-5 times and so I have to nap during the day and I still work. 

Yes, we have helped with urinary issues. It depends on the position of L4 on the side view and what food you may be sensitive to. You can visit us in Naples FL and Westlake OH.

Vertigo and sinus infections- is there hope to heal from them?  

I would suggest the FIT Test to see what foods you may be sensitive to.  Sinus issues are often a food sensitivity issue or potential low thyroid.

These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including watery eyes. If you have any general health questions, please email us, askdrbob@druglessdoctor.com, and we will present them in an upcoming episode. Thank you!

I recently saw you on The Dr. Axe Show and it was great! I heard you say some things about flax oil. You said eating lots of flax oil can possibly make you B6 deficient? You also said It can impact estrogen movement in the body and then you said something about making sure broccoli is in it? Can you explain? I’ve heard you say before that it’s good to get flax oil in our diet. And I know there is an omega-six to omega-three ratio, but how much is too much flax oil?

Flax oil is a precursor food which travels through a metabolic pathway requiring co-factors, one of which is B6. We have noticed a need for B6 in those who use flax as their primary source of omega-3 fats. I have seen over time flax oil can be an estrogenic oil. Flax is good, but it is not the only oil. I would consider the Omega Test to see how your omega-3 and 6 oils are doing. We look at liver enzymes to check B6 levels. So, this is more than taking an item and seeing a difference.

I have been having fleeting sharp abdominal pain for months now. A recent ultrasound found layered sludge and gravel in my gallbladder. I know this is a symptom of something else that is going on. What should I do to help clean up the sludge? I am worried because there is a family history of pancreatic cancer.

I would suggest Phosphatidylcholine; it acts as an emulsifier. Also, I would eat one-half of a red apple daily, beet fiber, one medium carrot, one or two radishes and artichoke hearts.

What causes watery eyes everyday, but is not a conventional allergy or an infection? Is there a holistic approach to reversing receding gums?

Watery eyes can possibly be caused by a food sensitivity. I would suggest the FIT Test which checks 130 different foods and additives. You may have a sensitivity creating a reaction. I would suggest Osteo B II for receding gums after you have the Opti-Chem Profile and check your calcium/phosphorus ratio. It should be 10 parts calcium to 4 parts phosphorous. When you have more phosphorus you will have eroding of teeth and bones.

Hello Dr Bob, can you please explain how to cure a UTI naturally, I don’t like to take antibiotics. I would prefer to go the natural route, if possible, can you help.

Avoid gluten.

I am writing to you about my almost 3 year old. She is a spunky, fun little spit fire. When she was younger, like 18 months, she had bottle rot and I had a hard time finding someone to see her because it was at the beginning of the pandemic. Then she fell and knocked them partially out. So we had to have them removed. Long story short, she already is missing 3 teeth.  And now it looks like she’s getting more cavities. I try to limit her sweets (she definitely has a sweet tooth), give her vitamins, and brush her teeth (it’s always been a struggle but she is getting better at it. We don’t use fluoride but I’m at a loss. I really don’t know what to do! Please help!!!

Stop the JUNK.  We just had a dentist tell us people are not eating enough raw food.  I would have her eat ½ of carrot daily which will supply natural fluoride.

These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including a dental infection. If you have any general health questions, please email us, askdrbob@druglessdoctor.com, and we will present them in an upcoming episode. Thank you!

What can I do for my osteoarthritis? My doctor said there’s nothing he can do for me.

I have found overtime one of the leading causes of most arthritis issues can be traced to liver congestion.

Hello my name is Iris and I was listening to The Dr. Axe Show podcast and the Dr. DeMaria spoke about vitiligo. My daughter who is 11 yrs old got a spot about a year ago on the back of her arm (about the size of my thumb). I had asked her Dr. but he didn’t seem concerned about it.  But Dr DeMaria brought it up on the show. What can I do to help my daughter to prevent it from getting worse and what is causing it?

First, I am not a dermatologist and I have not seen her skin. We use a product called Tyrosine to help support Thyroid and Adrenal function. Tyrosine does help create skin pigment.

I have sores inside mouth that the dermatologist said is planus lichen. The medication he suggested has not helped. I did not have the sores until they put me on a blood pressure medication last year. Do you know what will help this? Thanks so much for your help.

You may want to have a consultation (see below for link) with me that we could do some evaluating to see how your body is doing. But obviously the medication is placing a demand on your detoxifying organs and/or stress in your body.

Hi, my question for Dr Bob is what he recommends for a severe dental infection (nerve pulp root) derived from ear infection complication?

For any dental infection, we use a product called Agrisept-L which helps manage mouth flora. I also use Olive Leaf as a type of natural antibiotic.

Do you have any protocol for getting someone off a medication for anxiety? I have been on Zoloft over 10 years. I have weaned off many times only to take it again because my withdrawal symptoms were so bad. Any wisdom is welcome!

I would suggest you get my book; “Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Mental Health”.  And, when you are done we can set up a consultation.

Q: I would like to know the best thing to do for toenail fungus?

A: We always look to the gut for toenail fungus. We use either Colon Plus Capsules or Caprin.

More Colon Info

Q: I cannot eat apple skins, they tear up my intestines it’s so unbearably painful! I’m afraid to peel them and eat them. Is this IBS?

A: It is possible the pectin, which is a soluble fiber found in high levels in apples, plums and the pulp and peel of citrus fruits. It’s great for most individuals digestion because it helps turn water into a thick gel in your intestines so that your digestion slows down. You may have an issue with it. I would suggest the FIT Test to check for Food Sensitivities.

Q: I was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease and was recommended a low sodium diet. Is Celtic Sea Salt high in sodium?

A: Meniere’s from my experience is common with adrenal stress and sugar. We have found Celtic Sea Salt to be an excellent source of minerals.

Q: I love the quote, “stress cannibalizes minerals in the body.” I’ve heard that simple breathing techniques can alter the pH in our body, so we don’t lose the minerals. Would love to get your thoughts on how this works!

A: Stress typically tends to lower the pH in a body. The body responds by releasing minerals to balance the pH.

Q: Can a B6 issue also cause allergies? Also can estrogen dominance lead to allergies as well?

A: I have not seen B6 or Estrogen lead to allergies. I am not saying it is not possible. B6 is important for the creation of anti-inflammatory fat tissue hormones. Estrogen dominance is common with a congested liver. It really is about whole body health.

Opti-Cardio Plus Lab Test:

Q: Can Agrisept-L be taken with Ionic Zinc if you have a bad cold?

A: I take my Agrisept-L with Zinc every day.

Q: I bought Bio D K Mulsion but mine has olive and sesame oil in it. Have they changed the formula? Thanks so much for all that you do!

A: I do not know if they changed the ingredients? I did send an email in to find out.

Q: Do I need to take Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D? Can you recommend a good supplement for K2?

A: I really have not focused on K. I take 2 drops of D-Mulsion Forte on my tongue daily. I have a list of K foods, which I eat regularly (Vitamin K is found in the following foods: Green leafy vegetables, such as kale, spinach, turnip greens, collards, Swiss chard, mustard greens, parsley, romaine, and green leaf lettuce. Vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage).

Q: What can I do for malesma- I am 57 years of age and reside in Pakistan.

A: For malesma, I have found from my experience most of the skin issues on the face and elsewhere are a liver challenge. You may want to get my book: “Dr. Bob’s Guide to Detoxification” that will help.

Would Intenzyme Forte be good to decrease one’s ESR?

Yes, the Intenzyme Forte is excellent for reducing inflammation. I would not take it if you are taking a “blood thinner.” Speak with your treating physician if you are on any meds for the cancer.

Can you please tell me what’s the best colon cleanse?

The best colon cleanse would be to focus on eating vegetables and avoid sugar.

What can be done for osteoarthritis?

For osteoarthritis, the liver is the key to relieving joint pain. You may consider reading “Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Detoxification” and “Dr. Bob’s Guide to Prevent Surgery.”

What is a good diet or supplement or activity to fight Rheumatoid Arthritis?

I would first check for a food sensitivity with the FIT Test. Avoid the foods they suggest to be your sensitive ones. You may also consider a CBC with differential to see if you have a virus, infection or a food sensitivity in general. You also may want to have the Opti-Chem Profile and look at your globulin level. If it is over 2.7, you may not be digesting properly.

I notice you recommend Celtic Sea Salt. I heard that it does not have iodine and that is a necessary supplement. If so, where can you get it and what kind of vitamin D do you use?

I take 12 mg of Iodine via a product from Biotics Research called Iodizyme. I also use their Bio-D Mulsion Forte, two drops on my tongue daily.

I had an ear wax issue several years ago. Was out to dinner and pitched forward, but had a few lightheadedness issues prior to that evening. Went to the doctor, they power washed wax out of my ear. Hard on my body, took time to recover. Recently had wax issues again, CNP cleaned ears out, said I could come in once a year for cleaning. What causes this? I don’t use Q-tips anymore. I used to for many years. How do you clean your ears properly?

Excessive ear wax from my perspective would be a body signal of toxicity. In your case with the excessive ear wax you may schedule a regular ear lavage cleaning with your physician.

I went through menopause and my estrogen dropped. The VA diagnosed me with diabetes. I refuse to take Metformin. Can you advise?

We use a product called GlucoBalance to manage blood sugar stress. Limiting carbs is useful. Also, increasing your exercise to metabolize the additional glucose “floating” around would be helpful.

I have cold hands and feet, can you tell me what to do? You mentioned a blood test, how do I proceed?

For cold hands and feet, I would suggest a Thyroid Panel with TSH, T3 and T4 (More thyroid info here).  Once those are completed, we can proceed with a protocol.

How to kill H-Pylori in the duodenum?

I would avoid sugar and fruit. We do have a product we use for H-Pylori. I would also suggest a CBC with differential to measure how your immune system is responding.  Also, there is a food sensitivity test called the FIT we have had success with. You may be sensitive to a food item creating an additional burden on your immune system.
