Ask Dr. Bob June 27, 2014

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. I am a 35 yr old female, overweight and currently doing the CELLULAR HEALING DIET. Since I can remember myself I always have low blood pressure 92/60 or below especially in the mornings and it’s very hard to get up and go and not be very tired and unable to do things in the morning… What do you recommend for me??

We have seen an epidemic of low blood pressure, which is a body signal of adrenal fatigue. I recommend reading “Adrenal Fatigue” by James Wilson. I would also limit sugar, stress, and fruit.

2. I understand that dark chocolate is healthy(80% cocoa), but it also may contribute with benign breast cyst. I have this condition and need to be careful consuming dark chocolate and also coffee.

We do not promote chocolate in our practice. A good book about this is “Potatoes, Not Prozac” where they talk about concerns about chocolate. For breast cysts, I would add iodine to your supplementation repertoire.

3. What type of iodine do you use?

There are many varieties of iodine out there. I currently take Iodizyme from Biotics Research Corporation. Before you take any brand of iodine, I would consider taking a urine-iodine test or a thyroid panel to check your T4.

4. I know you drink Dr. Bob’s coffee, which is 1/2 decaf, what kind of chemicals are they using in the decaf?

We use coffee that has been Swiss-water processed which does not add chemicals. Also, we also use organic beans, too.

5. Iodine & Growing Pains

I would consider talking to your natural healthcare provider about including liquid iodine into their supplementation, or adding iodine-based foods like sea vegetables.
