Located on top of the kidneys, the adrenal glands are an essential member of the endocrine system; the glands that work in close cooperation with the pituitary, pancreas, and thyroid. One of their many functions is to help the body cope with stress.

System

The endocrine system is the chemical communicating method in your body that regulates male and female hormones, digestion, and blood sugar stress. It is responsible for reproduction, energy, and nearly all chemical connections.

Drugless Adrenal Protocol

-An essential tool for long-term adrenal health is adequate rest. Make the necessary changes in your schedule to ensure eight hours of sleep per night.

-Add more protein and healthy fat to your diet. Protein and fat help stabilize the rate your body burns energy and eliminate the extreme highs and lows that sugar induces.

-Ladies, we do not suggest the long-term use of topical progesterone cream because it tricks the feedback mechanisms into interpreting that your hormone levels are normal.

-Avoid supplementing DHEA. This can upset the delicate balance of hormones in your body. Instead, seek out a skilled healthcare provider to help you manage adrenal fatigue.

Testimonial

“I had adrenal fatigue and hypothyroid related to stress. The adrenal fatigue and hypothyroid were the primary causes of the symptoms that were viewed as anxiety and depression by conventional medicine. It’s been a little over a year. My thyroid and adrenals are recovered, and my tests can prove it. It’s hard to find the words to describe the care that Dr. Bob and The Drugless Doctors provide.” – John S.

There are a few topics that will cause our practice to be standing room only during a workshop, and one of those happens to be on the subject of anti-aging. No matter who you are, at some point, your body will begin to heal a little slower, your hair might become a little grayer, and your skin might become tad big saggier, but there are preventative ways to keep your youthful appearance without topical applications that contain harmful ingredients.

Drugless Anti-Aging Protocol

-Drink half of your body weight in water each day. Make sure that the water is from a pure source, like a reverse osmosis filtration system. This will help your body cleanse and purify from the inside out.

-Be aware of the number of environmental toxins in which you have been exposed. It is common to see in our patients who have worked in factories, that their physiology is different due to the chemicals they worked with on a daily basis. Certain chemicals antagonize your liver, including the herbicides and pesticides that are sprayed on non-organic food.

-Limit or stop consuming products with sugar. Sugar is known to cause premature wrinkling and depletes your body of essential minerals like zinc which are helpful in the anti-aging process.

-Be in bed by 10p. The hours before midnight is when your body makes growth hormone, which promotes healing.

-Seek out a skilled chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments allow the brain to send the right messages to the rest of your body that encourages healing and anti-aging.

Testimonials

“When I sought treatment from The Drugless Doctors for elevated cholesterol, I walked into a practice that would address the cause of the issue and not simply the symptom. I received their spinal adjustments and followed their nutritional and simple exercise programs. I noticed many unanticipated changes in my overall health: no more cold hands and feet, clearer skin, diminishing liver spots, better sleep, and stronger hair and nails. I’ve had a twenty-year standing spot of pre-macular degeneration that my eye doctor had been monitoring … gone! The right food married to the right nutritional supplements, if necessary, can produce the desired results if the proper lifestyle changes are incorporated into your daily living. The Drugless Doctors can guide you through this natural healing of your body.” – Jean B

There is plenty of cholesterol and saturated fat confusion. At one time, because of the fear of high cholesterol, trans fat was introduced into the marketplace. The food industry responded to the high cholesterol scare and introduced trans fat thinking it was a safe alternative.

The truth is cholesterol is neither bad nor good. The term LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol creates the misconception that cholesterol is fat. In reality, it is a unique alcohol molecule called a sterol. Cholesterol controlled dietary intake will not consistently lower your cholesterol. There are other factors. It has properties that create a softening effect on blood vessels made hard by too much-saturated fat. In technical terms, cholesterol makes cell membranes more fluid by inserting itself between the saturated fats in the cell membrane, and it’s a critical steroid building block for hormones which are essential for a healthy existence.

Drugless Cholesterol Protocol

-Reduce your sugar and trans fat intake

-Take one tablespoon of flax oil per one hundred pounds of body weight, while avoiding cheese and red meat.

-Cholesterol is needed by the body to function. If levels are lower than 160, other health problems can occur.

-Begin incorporating Dr. Bob’s ABCs which include ½ red apple, one medium carrot, and ⅓ cup of beet fiber per day to help lower cholesterol.

-If your cholesterol remains high and you experience cold hands and feet, then you will want to have a thyroid panel. The results of your thyroid test, when treated accordingly, can decrease your cholesterol without medication.

“When I began care with Dr. Bob, I had very high cholesterol. My conventional doctor wanted to start me on Lipitor. After reading about this drug and the side effects, I decided to try something else. I have cut way back on sugar, and I don’t even get close to vending machines – no pop or soda! I have also started Dr. Bob’s ABCs, and even though it has been difficult reducing my sugar intake, I have lowered my cholesterol 20 points and lowered my triglycerides 170 points with Dr. Bob’s help. I also have no aches or pains as I did before.” – Fred S.

The colon is the more significant half of the bowels where water is removed from solid waste.

System

The colon is part of the excretory system which is responsible for eliminating waste from the body; it is comprised of the colon, kidneys, lungs, skin, and liver. The organs work in tandem to remove waste via the air breathed out as carbon dioxide; the kidneys excrete urine via the bladder, and the colon discharges fecal material that is also processed by bacteria. The liver is an essential organ for filtering and processing unwanted and unnecessary toxins.

Drugless Colon Protocol

-Begin a detailed journal of what you eat. Often a diet filled with grains, dairy, and peanut butter are common foods that create an alarm in the colon.

-If you have constipation, this is a body signal that you are not drinking enough water, or eating plant-based fiber. Subpar thyroid function results in a slow-moving colon and consequently, constipation. Add green foods with every meal, including kale, broccoli, and spinach.

-If vegetables tend to bother you, it is because your pH (acid/alkaline) balance tends to be acidic. Alkaline foods force your body to dump toxins, which may cause you to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, start with vegetables that are steamed, sauteed, or stir-fried in olive or rice oils.

-Consider a blood test called a “CBC with a differential.” Look at your results for eosinophils (EOS), which increase with people who have parasites. If your EOS is elevated, I suggest Agrisept-L, at ten drops a day.

If you consider yourself to be a product of Western culture, no matter the age, you live, breathe, and work in the fast lane. Hurry, impatience, and tenseness throughout the day results in a lack of energy with unfulfilled moments.

The Drugless Doctors regularly holds health talks, and attendance is always at capacity when the topic includes fatigue, sleep, or energy. Who is in the mood to have relationships with individuals who always responds, “I’m tired”? Here is the Dr. Bob “Approved” guide to making sure that never happens!

Drugless Energy Protocol

Limit Commitments

-I want to give you the doctor’s note that allows you permission to say “No” when someone asks you to take on a project you know you don’t have the time for but you say “Yes” anyway. There is a right way to do this without offending or hurting feelings, and it’s easier than you’ve ever imagined. My wife, Debbie, and I have learned to graciously reply, “I can’t say Yes,” to these requests. You may want to practice saying this to yourself in the mirror until it’s become ingrained in your memory. You don’t need to offer any reasons why, and you’ll find that turning these invitations down becomes more comfortable with time.

Add Minerals

-For renewed energy, add minerals to your daily routine. A pure mineral source and company is Selina Naturally’s Celtic Sea Salt. I suggest using this salt liberally, and if you’re concerned about salt’s effects on blood pressure, only about five percent of high blood pressure cases are caused by salt intake.

Zinc is another mineral that is critical for many bodily functions, including insulin production. Insulin is necessary to deliver glucose to the cells, and glucose acts as the gasoline that keeps the body moving.

MOVE

On your mark, get set, MOVE! Exercise increases blood flow, strengthens the heart muscle, and promotes peaceful sleep. It also supports lymphatic flow by moving lymph fluid. This system doesn’t have a pump like the circulatory system; instead, it relies on standard movements of daily activities to push the lymph around. Increased movement during exercise pushes lymph fluid through the body more rapidly, which keeps this disease-fighting system working at peak performance by eliminating toxins.

Proper Spinal Alignment

As nerve pathways are kept open and clear, signals from the brain to organs and tissues are free to flow correctly. Spinal alignment also maintains correct posture, allowing full expansion of the lungs and full oxygenation of all body tissues. More oxygen results in more energy!

My energy level is up, my body is more relaxed, and it’s easier for me to move.” – Bob B.

Your hair is a combination of protein and minerals. The texture and quality of hair is impacted by stress, diet, and hormonal function. The color of hair is also affected by diet and stress.

System

The integumentary system is multifaceted, protecting you from the environment and creating a balance with your surroundings. Skin is the main component of the system, interfacing with the environment. Hair and nails are also part of the system, protecting you from environmental toxins.

Drugless Hair Protocol

-Hair loss is a standard body signal of insufficient protein and oil consumption in the general public, affecting both men and women. Genetic patterns in men are not uncommon, and I have noticed younger men today have thinner hair and shave their heads to mask their baldness at younger ages. The consumption of trans fat, processed food, grains, and sugar, alongside mineral deficiencies, are factors impairing the production of hair. Women tend to have hair loss that starts in an egg-shaped pattern on the top of their head when they experience subpar thyroid function.

-If you have subpar thyroid function, consider a TSH, T3, + T4. From there, we follow the numbers to help stabilize thyroid function.

-Begin to supplement with iodine. To determine how much iodine your body requires, we recommend a Urine-Iodine Loading Test.

-Start a daily routine of adding a full-spectrum omega-3 oil.

The heart is an organized muscle that pumps blood through the vessels of the circulatory system. Optimal function of blood flow is critically essential for everyday health.

System

The circulatory system is comprised of miles of tubes directing blood from the heart to the lungs for an oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, then travels to the outer aspects of your fingers and toes. It is also responsible for the transport of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fats to all the cell structures in your body.

Drugless Heart Protocol

-Manage your weight. Men should have a waist under forty inches, and women under thirty-five inches.

-Do a Bloodspot Fatty Acid Profile to evaluate your levels of essential fats. Your goal is optimal EFA levels with standard EPA, and low trans fat and arachidonic acid, which suggest inflammation.

-Have an Acoustic CardioGraph (ACG) to get a snapshot of your nutritional health, which impacts your heart. This is available at The Drugless Doctors.

-Take a digital radiograph of the spine, revealing your liver size and spinal position at the c7 to T4 vertebrae.

-Have serum homocysteine and C-reactive protein assessments. These are measures of inflammation.

-Get a ferritin test to evaluate your potential inflammation from elevated iron. Do a CBC with a differential to assess your hemoglobin levels, for the same reason.

Testimonial

At a certain time in my life, I was desperately seeking a solution to an atrial fibrillation that would often come and go. I had been scheduled for, and followed through with, a full heart ablation within weeks of meeting The Drugless Doctors. My wife asked me to try Dr. Bob, so we signed up for the initial assessment. Once I heard how Dr. Bob and his practice worked, it made sense: fix the problem where it starts, not mask it with drugs or surgeries. Dr. Bob and his team have helped me find holistic solutions to numerous issues, including palpitations, sinus issues, fatigue, inactive thyroid, posture, backaches, and susceptibility to colds. If I had only known Dr. Bob prior to my surgery! My wife and I now both have very healthy lives. We have a whole different way of eating. This is a gradual transition for us, and it gets better and better every day. -James S.

Did you wake up this morning with digestive distress? We are witnessing an uncomfortable increase in the number of patients who come into our practice with this condition. With lifestyle modification, IBS can be successfully treated using drugless principles.

System

Although not technically a system, your digestive system contains many body parts affected by IBS. Digestion begins in the mouth and finishes in the large intestine. The food you eat is processed throughout that passage; each portion of the pathway has specific functions to assist the body in the absorption of nutrients. Poor digestion can result in the impairment of the entire system, including allergies, bad breath, skin lesions, and liver distress.

Drugless IBS Protocol

-Using information from food labels, start a food journal of what you eat and notice if you see any patterns between certain foods and flare-ups.

-Have a CBC with a differential. Look at your results for eosinophils (EOS), which increase with people who have parasites.

-Have a Omega Oils Serum Profile to determine how much oil your body needs since the correct oil helps leaky gut syndrome.

The liver is located in the lower portion of the right rib cage region and is responsible for hundreds of functions, including being the primary detoxifying organ and storing vitamins, blood, and proteins. It is an essential factor for optimal health for your immune, digestive, and excretory system.

System(s)

Your liver has many functions in various systems in the body, but this section will focus on digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth and is complete at the large intestine. The food you eat is processed throughout that passage; each portion of the pathway has specific functions to assist the body in the absorption of nutrients. Poor digestion can result in the impairment of the entire system, including allergies, bad breath, skin lesions, and liver distress.

Drugless Liver Protocol

-Avoid processed foods that stress the liver. Instead, eat organic, fresh, lightly steamed, raw or sauteed whole foods. This one step alone will assist in your whole-body detoxification.

-Avoid items that may create an extra burden on liver function: medications, alcohol, soft drinks and artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

-Read barcodes on everything you buy for consumption! This may sound extreme, but important information can be found there. The most straightforward marker is to look at the numbers under the barcode. Regardless of what country the food comes from, a code number starting with eight means the product is from a genetically modified source; 9 means organic; all other numbers are considered standard or conventional – which means anything can be on them and they are not organic.

-Eat Dr. Bob’s ABCs daily: half a red apple, one-third cup of beets, and one medium carrot.

-Avoid constipation that leads to liver distress by drinking more water and eating whole foods.

We are beginning to see a rise in Alzheimer’s and memory loss in both actual numbers, and in younger individuals. From my experience, the leading cause of memory loss and Alzheimer’s is due to inflammation and adrenal fatigue. Your adrenal glands create cortisone, which extinguishes the inflammation “fire” in your body, and stress and sugar consumption place a demand on your body’s adrenal function.

System

Although not technically a “system,” your memory originates in your nervous system. Our body is one mass of electrical components and connections traveling along delicate nerve fibers. Your nervous system is made of several groups, all of which depend on your brain as the central focal point, sending billions of daily messages that analyze and respond to stimuli.

Drugless Memory Protocol

-Avoid trans fats, including partially hydrogenated oils. One serving can linger for months, sabotaging the creation of “good” brain fat.

-Stop eating artificial preservatives, taste enhancers, synthetic colors, and other processed food items; these attack DHA long-chain fat production.

-Add either one tablespoon or organic omega-3 flax oil per one hundred pounds of body weight.

-Do not take an aspirin. It tricks your body and interrupts DHA production.

-Do not use proton pump inhibitors. If you experience digestive distress, supplement with Hydro-Zyme, one in the middle of each meal.

-Avoid gluten; it interrupts the absorption of minerals, stopping DHA production.

-Consider receiving an Omega Oils Serum Profile.
