-How do you feel about certified grapeseed oil? I just got signed up with wildtree and their products are all GMO-free, certified organic and gluten free. I know studies show the Mediterranean diet with olive oil is very healthy too.. what is your opinion..thank you.
I am sure it is great.
-Do u know anything about the Garcinia Cambogia?
(From Research Text) Garcinia cambogia is a citrus fruit that grows in Southeast Asia. An extract from the fruit rind, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), has historically been used for cooking, but it’s also been used for weight loss and to lower cholesterol. You can buy garcinia cambogia online or at most health and supplement stores, in pill form or as a powder. Sometimes, it’s also included as an ingredient in snack bars. Typical doses are between 250 and 1,000 mg each day. Advocates say that HCA, an organic acid, works by making you feel full, reducing your appetite, and affecting metabolism.
-Hi Dr. Bob, for a good amount of 2015 I have had a cough/cold and other symptoms that have created a state of worry. I have lost weight and break out constantly. What can I do?
You may consider Agrisept-L, which can help prevent virus issues. Anxiety and stress can create an altered physiology. Lastly, you may consider a consultation to discuss further.
-Hi Dr Bob. My question is, being a breast cancer survivor. What are the best food for healthy living. And what must I avoid.
The best food is broccoli, it helps to manage extra estrogen.
-I have a problem over 5 years now. Tried all type of ointment & creams. Nothing works, I have a fungus on my inner thighs and below my butt going down my thighs. It irritates me a lot. Please tell me what can be done.
Fungus anywhere in your body often means a colon issue. You may consider a probiotic, and a product with oregano called A.D.P. Limit or eliminate sugar as well.
-My baby got Strawberry Hemangioma on her right arm about two weeks after she was born. It has grown quite a bit since then. Her pediatrician and a skin specialist recommended to leave it and should go on its own. She is 7 months now. Is there anything that you can recommend for it to go away faster?
I would suggest applying castor oil to that region since it has healing powers to it.
What causes Lypoma and what changes in diet can one make to diminish and reverse it?
It is usually from a liver compromise. Excessive fruit consumption can also be a concern. I would limit the amount of alcohol you drink as well.
Can you tell me what I can do to help my adrenal glands?
No sugar is the best way to help your adrenal gland. (This includes all sweeteners)
I was taking supplements for thyroid adrenals & low blood. Then daily I started juicing spinach, kale celery carrots & apple with lemon with some almond milk & eating avocado daily, do I get enough vitamins from the juice or do I need to continue taking my supplements?
I personally do not promote juicing, but if you are going to juice, only 8 ounces because your adrenals can be stressed.
Also I started drinking Matcha green tea, what’s your thoughts on it?
Green tea is an excellent antioxidant. Make sure the tea that you purchased does not have any sugar.
I’ve been taking fenofibrate and benicar for my cholesterol and I went to drs yesterday and I guess my chol. went much higher on my recent blood work. What is good to help lower it?
Beets can help lower cholesterol and it can also be elevated because of stress and sugar.
What can be causing tickling pain all over the body?
You might need calcium.
My friend is getting radiation treatment, what can she take for it. Thx
Chlorella. It helps with the side effects of the treatment.
Blood Thinners. Can you take apple cider vinegar instead? My Brother was diagnosed with Afib. The Doctor’s couldn’t believe his test results from all his blood work he is fit in every way. He doesn’t want to take medication.
I do not promote aspirin or other blood thinners. We have helped a lot of individuals with B vitamins and making sure they have enough minerals.
Every time I eat garlic in food , I get acne and its size increases as I take more garlic food. But when I take milk immediately after food with garlic, I don’t get acnes. Can I know why it happens? No doctor could explain this. I want to eat garlic as it is good for health but also want to avoid dairy products as Dr. Bob don’t recommend milk. Similarly with pineapple and papaya, only milk relieves me of acne. Thank you.
The garlic can be placing a demand on your liver which is leading to skin breakouts. It might be best to begin a liver detox, which you can contact us for more information.
I have had lichen planus for approximately 8 years now and no one seems to know what causes it or how to cure it. They call it an autoimmune disease and that it will probably go away the same way it came but I am getting completely frustrated with the constant itching and no relief. Do you know what I might do to eliminate it?
It’s usually stress, support your adrenals, and use Agrisept-L.
Any suggestions for a person who had half their thyroid gland removed?
Most likely, levothyroxine. I would also recommend a TSH, T3, T4 exam and we would help to fix the numbers.
