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 would like to know how can i know if Candida is present in my system, I have tried a couple of test they say positive, but when i take the so called remedy there is absolutely no relief. I do grind my teeth, my thyroid definitely have some issues.
When people grind their teeth, it is a possible body signal of parasites. A product I use, Agrisept-L, helps manage both parasites and yeast. I recommend reading the book, “The Yeast Connection” which I know will help you greatly.
2. Dr. Bob, 4 years ago I was diagnosed with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I am 60 years old, thin and in good shape. I am being treated with methotrexate and Humira injections. I stay away from nightshades as much as possible, I don’t eat dairy products, eat lots of green veggies, few fruits, hardly any sugar, somewhat gluten free ( I find it very hard to stay away completely from that). I am grateful for those medications. But would love to not to have to take them anymore. I tried once to stay away from the meds for 6 months and it was awful. By the time I got back to the rheumatologist my joints were so swollen and painful they had to put me on high doses of Predisone for a long time on top of all the other stuff. I am frustrated. Is there anything you recommend?
I would recommend helping to clean out your liver. I would do this by applying a castor oil pack once a week (more information here), and consider adding dandelion root and peppermint leaf herbal drops to your diet. Both 4-5 drops in four ounces of water, 2-3x daily, and a medium carrot.
3. Just a question as I’ve had full radiation for a brain tumor and now am severely allergic to iodine and low thyroid due to radiation damage to pituitary. What do you recommend in this situation? I’ve been on a protocol that gradually put me at 12mg of iodine daily. Is it safe to continue this dosage long term? Is it safe to continue a 5000IU of vitamin D daily long term?
4. Is ‘Vitamin K’ essential for newborns?

5. Any advice on daily headaches? My son has had a headache since April 6th. Have been through tests doctors and meds…don’t know where else to turn.

6. Dr. Bob, I’m suffering from psoriasis for almost eight years. I have it on my forehead, scalp, back, and nails. Please help me, skin products do not help.
7. Can you address psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis? I would love to get off Humira. But within 2 weeks my joints are so swollen and painful. Do you believe Paleo diet is helpful?
(For 6 & 7)
In order for your psoriasis to health, it is essential that you clean and restore your liver. This would include beginning the castor oil pack once a week (more information here). Also, consider liver-healing herbs like milk thistle, dandelion root, and peppermint leaf. All 4-5 drops, 2-3x a day in four ounces of water.
