Iodine Allergy
Hi Everyone!
These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including an iodine allergy. If you have any general health questions, please email us, askdrbob@druglessdoctor.com, and we will present it in an upcoming episode. Thank you!
I have an iodine allergy and most of my conditions are likely due to an iodine deficiency. Do I have an alternative treatment or a treatment option to cure the allergy?
We use a parotid product to help support optimal iodine function.
Can you rely up ALT and AST tests to know if liver toxic or overwhelmed? I just got diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella.
The liver enzymes will elevate if the liver is compromised.
Which is better B complex or B12 vitamins for women?
It depends on the findings associated with the Labs to determine which B one needs. B12 is commonly needed with a low uric acid. B6 may be suggested with a low ALT or AST. B1 or thiamine does help a low C02. I would suggest considering having the Opti-Chem Profile to determine what you needed.
I have been reading your book for women and menopause. I have had thyroid symptoms. Mostly my feet get really cold and I get fatigued. I have discovered certain foods affect me. I began taking iodine supplements. My question is, “Are there certain foods which will affect me more? If so what are they?”
I would suggest having a Thyroid Panel to assess the function of your thyroid gland and then set up a consultation which would include an evaluation of your diet and health assessment questions with a toxicity questionnaire.
Hi Dr. Bob, I have been dealing with dry mouth/low saliva. I had taken over the counter allergy medicine for about a year and a half every day because of mostly ragweed so I thought that could be the reason. In prior years, I’ve only taken it in the fall. I’ve been off of it for about 10 months now but I still have this problem. It’s affecting my teeth as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Your sympathetic nervous system is being over stimulated probably because of stress being placed on it. I would suggest avoiding sugar to start and you may consider having a saliva test to evaluate adrenal function.
My granddaughter is 13 years old, and at the age of 11, she started to just put on a lot of weight. Her doctor wanted to do blood work on her but she is afraid of needles and will not let us do it. What test can I do to get the best results to see what’s going on in her body. I’m always on her about not eating this or that, but nothing seems to help her weight issue.
We can make a blood spot kit available to her/you to check her thyroid levels. It will be less painful. (Contact Us)
