Is there something that you want to ask a health professional that falls outside the "conventional medicine" comfort zone? Your health is your whole self: mind, body, spirit, family, and community. I want to help you find active solutions!


Body Aches

My body really aches on the days when storms are coming into the area or even a couple of hundred miles away. I can tell when a weather pattern is coming in a day before it hits the area. Once it hits I am fine, but before that I am miserable. What can I do?

When barometric pressure is fluctuating with changing weather patterns, it can affect the various fluid systems in the body, most specifically the lymphatic system. The best nutrients to help with the aches are Immune Plus, Daily Balancer, and Repair Plus. You may also want to increase the use of nutrients that help with pain signals, inflammation, and other waste products irritating tissues. These include Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium AEP, Muscle Mag, Black Currant Oil, and Quercetin.




Iosol Iodine

Hello. I would like to know how many drops of Iosol would a person take to equal about 12 mg...".....

Each drop is about 1.83 milligrams, so 12mg is roughly 6.5 drops.




Sweet Cravings!

I just feel really sluggish and am craving sweets. This started after Valentine’s Day and has worsened since Easter. I need to get back on track on before things worsen.

High consumption of sugar can trigger yeast or fungal overgrowth and may manifest very insidiously with “non-descript” symptoms of fatigue, blah-ness, and sluggishness along with craving more and more sweets. Some of the best nutrients to help with this issue are LeptiSlim, Gluco Plus, GI & Muscle Helper, GI Soother, Noni Plus, Monolaurin, Pantethine, Daily Balancer and Daily Protein Plus. Each product targets different mechanisms in the gut where fungal overgrowth frequently starts. Use enough nutrients to get the energy turned back on, no cravings, and no gut symptoms, etc.




Weight Management

I have put on a few extra pounds over the winter and would like to take them off and not risk gaining them back again. Do you have any safe suggestions?

An easy way to start is by incorporating the Five Rules from Byron Richards’ Mastering Leptin or The Leptin Diet Book. Follow those five principles for a healthy lifestyle, combined with some aerobic and strength training exercises. If that is still not enough and you need some extra nutritional support to get the underlying biochemistry under control then add the Leptin Control Pack at 2-3 packets per day.




Springtime Despression

I am enjoying the added daylight and warmer temps, but it seems like every year, I get a short bout of depression during March and April. Can you help?

Springtime depression may be related with mold sensitivities/allergies, thyroid dysfunction, or other types of allergies but is frequently not a sign of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is quite rare in the spring and tends to happen with winter or summer seasons. If it is related to molds and allergies, you may want to try Oregano Oil, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin, Pantethine, Quercetin, and Activator Plus. If is related to thyroid difficulties, use Daily Energy, Thyroid Helper, Iosol Iodine and DHA.




Spring Allergies

I get terrible spring allergies and am looking for natural relief without all the steroids, inhalers and other junk. Do you have any suggestions?

The basic place to start with allergies is Quercetin, which acts as a natural antihistamine. General dosages range from 2-8 per day. You also want to make sure that you have proper nutrient support for the immune system and the adrenal glands as without the support allergies are frequently worse. Nutrients that help support healthy function in this area include Daily Protector, Immune Plus, Vitamin C, Pantethine, and Activator Plus.




Allergies

I have noticed since the snow has melted, that my sinuses are more congested and I have more mucous in the morning. Why is this happening and what can I do about it?

You may be experiencing a sinus fungal infection or mold sensitivity/allergy. Mold counts increase with exposure to last fall’s debris and degradation of leaves, plants, and grasses. The two best products for this are Immune Plus and Oregano Oil. Use enough of a dose to keep sinuses fully open and mucous congestion gone.




Low Energy

I don’t have the sinus congestion issue, but I find that my energy just is not very good some days and it seems to be seasonal.

Seasonal transitions can frequently produce a stress response with the thyroid gland. Additional symptoms of thyroid stress include dry skin, poor motivation, weight gain without a change in diet, a hoarse voice, constipation and feeling cold. If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms, start with the Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin, Iosol Iodine, and Thyroid Helper. If you are also having trouble getting going first thing in the morning, also add in Pantethine.




Uterine Prolapse

I'm a healthy 55 year old with advanced uterine prolapse. I'm trying to avoid surgery. Can you direct me to any resources that I could explore??

Barbara

Using nutrients to strengthen the overall uterine tissue would be a wise thing to do. A comprehensive nutritional approach would be the Rejuvenation Pack which includes nutrients to help with overall repair, inflammation, and wear and tear. More specific products would include Skin Rejuvenator, Pyc 50, and Hyaluronic Acid that would assist with the overall tone of the uterine tissue. Use enough products to build strength of the tissue while performing daily Kegal exercises can be very helpful for the uterine prolapse issues.
