1. Hi! My younger daughter was treated over a year ago for parasites she contracted in Mexico. Yesterday she “passed” a roundworm and freaked out!!! I am trying to not be grossed out myself) What would be your protocol for treating this?

Roundworms are a body signal of parasites. I recommend eliminating sugar immediately, and focus on eating foods with sulfur (eggs, onions). Your body will manage parasites with having enough of this mineral. Agrisept-L and Oil of Oregano will also help.

2. How can I help dry skin?

Make sure you are using enough oil (coconut and flax). Also, make sure you are taking vitamin D, and drinking plenty of water.

3. My brother has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, he’s 20 years old and is acting very quiet and feels tired all day long; he feels the need to take a nap every 2 hours and is lacking energy. Some people have recommended oxytocin as a form of medication but we’re not sure it would help him … would appreciate your input on this subject!

Sugar can sabotage function. I also recommend good oils (flax and coconut), and an Bloodspot Fatty Acid Profile, and Celtic Sea Salt, it will help the electrolytes in the brain. Again, sugar should be eliminated.

4. Dr. Bob, what are your thoughts on juicing?

At this time, I do not juice. If you do juice, I would not use fruit. I have noticed my patients who juice are getting up at 2 or 3 AM who juice because their blood sugar spikes.
