These were the questions that were asked in this episode of #AskDrBob. Click the blue box to watch the video. Thank you for sending us your general health questions. We hope they make a difference in your life.

 

1. Please help me help my friend’s 4 yr. old son who has been suffering with a C-Diff infection for over a month now. What can she do for him? The Dr.’s just keep prescribing antibiotics for him and he is not getting any better. I’ve told her about fecal transplants but is there anything else you could tell us about? Thank you!

I cannot tell you to go off the antibiotics, but we do use olive leaf and Agrisept-L in our practice, both of which help build up the immune system and deal with unfriendly bacteria. I would also eliminate all sugar and a probiotic. You might also consider a consultation.

2. I’ve been getting some pressure in my head & I thought it was sinus & it wasn’t going away & my husband mention it might be my blood pressure, what do you think?

You can take your blood pressure, and if it’s 140/90 or 160/90 consider speaking from a natural healthcare provider. You might need magnesium or have adrenal congestion. Make sure to drink plenty of water.

3. Does coffee raise your blood pressure? I have cup in the mornings & one in the afternoon.

I would suggest by drinking coffee that is organic and ½ regular and ½ decaf.

4. What causes someone’s eye to twitch?

You might have misalignment in your neck, and under stress. I would also consider increasing your calcium intake.

5. I drink 8 to 16 oz. of water or water with lemon during my meal. Why is that negative?
