Ask Dr. Bob June 7 2013

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

Ask Dr. Bob:

I have fibroids, hypothyroidism (being treated with Lyvoxl), high blood pressure (being treated with a diuretic) and panic attacks. I’m tired of doctors trying to give me antidepressants. What do I have to do to get rid of all this??

-Most women need oil. We encourage flax and sardine/anchovy oil (both are omega-3’s). An essential fatty acid profile has helped many patients with positive results. Beginning iodine supplementation (start VERY slowly) is also beneficial. If someone has high blood pressure, I suggest increasing magnesium, celtic sea salt, and green foods (kale, spinach).

How can I increase libido without medications?

-Men whose libido is low can have exhausted adrenal glands. We use a product called Argizyme to help male patients maintain an erection, and also maca root.

How can I help my nails from peeling?

Digestive enzymes. Make sure you are eating enough protein (chicken and eggs). Don’t have bananas and coffee for breakfast.

How can I stop the large pores on my face?

-You might be consuming too much wheat and soy-which deplete zinc (an essential mineral) from your body.

I want to avoid ablation, what do I do?

-From my experience, there is too much estrogen (liver is compromised, not enough vitamin B)-Add milk thistle and vitamin B.
