LASIK Surgery
Hi Everyone!
These were the questions asked in this episode of #AskDrBob, including LASIK surgery. 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 understand that generally speaking, surgery is not the best option for ultimate health. As someone who has worn glasses or contacts since the age of 13, however, LASIK surgery is very tempting. Please share your thoughts and advice on this topic.
I typically hear the stories that do not work; dry eyes and itchy eyes. I have been wearing glasses since I was 19. I am not going to do LASIK.
Hi, What are some of the steps I should take to lower my cholesterol?
Cholesterol can be elevated for many reasons; low thyroid and stress are common. A rule of thumb; when cholesterol is elevated and triglycerides are normal you are dealing with stress. On the other hand when cholesterol is up and triglycerides are elevated you are eating to many carbs, grains and sugar cannibalizing progesterone and cortisol which when you go up the literal food chain and or steroid tree, your body needs to create cholesterol to make more cortisone. I discuss this in detail in Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Balance Female Hormones and Dr. Bob’s Men’s Health the Basics. Consuming beets may not help those with stress induced cholesterol issues. You may also consider having your thyroid checked.
Re: Castor Oil Pack – What can I use besides wool? I’m allergic.
I would suggest one layered thicker cotton towel.

Dear Dr. Bob, I need to find out if my low “core body” temperature is due to my thyroid? How can I find out? I’m diabetic and at temp drops to 96.3 degrees Fahrenheit. If I don’t eat dinner, I can get the “shivers” as my temperature continues to drop? What could it possibly be?
A Thyroid Panel (see link above) would be a step in the right direction. (More info in video)
