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. How do I cleanse from the after affects of taking an antibiotic? I developed candida.

The most important thing is to re-colonize your body with a probiotic and/or acidophilus. Eliminate sugar and other yeast products. On our website, we have one called BioDoph-7 Plus.

2. You previously mentioned a supplement to help your pet’s digestion, could you please revisit that subject.

Our dog Belle, a Maltese, lived to be 18. We gave her Multizyme from Standard Process (½ capsule everyday). Flax powder will help with itchy skin.

3. With the holidays here, what are your tips to stress less?

Learn to love the phrase “I can’t say “yes””. It’s a nice way to decline. It’s ok to say no. Get to bed early, and exercise regularly.

4. I get seasonal itchy skin during the winter. Is there relief for this issue?

I recommend shower dechlorinators since they add more chlorine into the municipal water during the winter. I also recommend, calcium, flax oil, vitamin D, and optimal efa’s. Lastly, drink plenty of water.

5. My elderly mother has developed little hard lumps around her hand joints. Is this normal, or can it be treated naturally?

Sugar and dairy can cause joint pain. Also, a plugged up liver will cause joint pain.
