Question

“I have had ongoing pain in my right hip for about three months now. When I move, the pain is stronger. I have tried to increase stretching, tried decreasing exercise, not crossing my legs, and I haven’t noticed anything really helping to resolve the issue. Could this be hip bursitis? What do you recommend? Should I see a specialist?”

Answer

You should see your doctor if whatever you are doing is persistent and worsening. But in the interim, I don’t know your age, I don’t know your blood type, I don’t know where you are at or what your diet is like. But in general, people do not drink enough water. So, I would drink half your weight in pounds as ounces every day. So, if you are 150-pounds as a woman, then you would drink 75-ounces of water. And I would have you drink it, hopefully filtered water.

Very often the greater trochanter, which is right outside of your hip that all of these muscles attach to, it’s the outside of your hip there. It attaches to the knee and it is called the iliotibial band. As we age, this gets dried out and needs stretching.

Enzymes, things like Vitalzym or Vascuzyme from Ortho Molecular. ProteoXyme. Enzymes that have anti-inflammatory actions with like nano kinase or serrapeptase in it, these are valuable. But I wouldn’t just take two or three. I would take five twice a day or five three times a day on an empty stomach. And that is where you see the therapeutic pain relief and reduction of the inflammation.

Fasting is also another powerful anti-inflammatory action you can take. Whenever I feel under the weather or ill, I stop eating. And I do a time restricted lifestyle of eating. I only eat between roughly, you know, one and six p.m. But most of the times, I’m winding up just eating one meal a day. That gives my body the greatest amount of time to process the foods that I’ve presented and then my blood supply can then spend all the rest of the hours healing and repairing. Getting a good night’s sleep is very important. You can use specific anti-inflammatories like curcumin, turmeric. A product we carry here, we have TLC DeFlame. We have Turiva. We have NT Factor as well. These are high potency, clinically used turmeric and curcumin. Taking a scoop of OptiMag Neural and Magnesium powdered amino acid chelate with Vitamin C powder in a glass of water before bedtime or twice a day, these are powerful also as an anti-inflammatory.

So, I would start with some of those suggestions. And of course, if this persists, see your doctor. They will help determine that. 

Question

“I had COVID in July, and since then I have a really bad acid reflux that won’t go away. I have it  all the time, if I eat or not. What would you recommend to get rid of that? And I also have a mucus on the back of my throat that I got during COVID and I can’t get rid of it.”

Answer

Well, very often, the same things are going to be said. For instance, if you did some fasting, drinking plenty of water, that would be very important. Of course, please, please never ever put anything down your throat past six o’clock at night. Dairy is really corrupted in our society through homogenization and pasteurization, it's extremely inflaming. I would stay away from every bit of dairy for at least three weeks.

Another thing would be to use Glutagenics. They sell glutamine powder in a powdered form and mix it in with some water and you can sip that. A tablespoon mixed in water whenever you feel you have this heartburn. You might do it preventatively before you go to bed and as soon as you wake up. But have it around you so you can have it whenever you have that feeling.

Then there’s other things of course. Like we could look at food allergies, would want to know your blood type, if you are a patient, we can find that out. The older you get, the less well you digest. And very often with stress like COVID or a bad cold our digestion lags behind. There are various things. So, those are some starters. Hopefully, that is a way to begin. 

Question

“I fell exactly two months after his wife Sandra passed away, December 9th of 2020. Now I have bursitis. Is there anything that can be done for bursitis, without cutting into me?”

Answer

So, I would similarly to above. You have to make sure you are drinking enough water. The enzymes, like Vascuzyme, Vitalzym, five, three times a day on an empty stomach. Turiva, the curcumin with help during stretching or pilates. Taking that OptiMag Neural, Magnesium, with Vitality C powder. Fasting. Those will be helpful. 

Question

“Can you prescribe your suppositories that help rid toxic metals if we are out of state? If so, I’m interested as I have metal in my blood.”

Answer

Our malpractice, I don’t have licenses to practice in all 50-states. So, EDTA is a prescription medication. And so, you’d have to be my patient. So, that could kind of handle it. Maybe you can tell your doctor locally if they would go to a compounding pharmacist. We use 1,500-milligrams in a suppository. We basically use it three nights a week on the average. It takes about three suppositories to kind of approximate what one intravenous IV would do. You can start from that point and hopefully be a help for you.  

Question

“Please tell us what L-glutathione is for and who should be taking it?”

Answer

L-Glutathione is a very important antioxidant. And it is very valuable in liver detoxification and the antioxidant chain in our mitochondria. It's very helpful in neurology, even Parkinson's. It seems to be quite helpful as a cofactor in many things that help with nerve transmission. So, we have seen Glutathione infusions intravenously and we have seen the tremors of Parkinson's immediately recede if you give a high enough dose. So, it's needed all the time. It diminishes with age and oxidative stress of a poor lifestyle, a sad American diet full of processed food destroys it. 

Question

“What are your thoughts on Spanish moss taken with meals compared to taking digestive enzymes? Specifically, the supplement by the brand Standard Process. It has rice bran, organic carrot, and enzymatically processed Spanish moss, and organic beetroot.”

Answer

Well, I’ve never used it. Standard Process is a company that has been around 30 to 40 years. It has a good reputation. I don’t want to bash anything that I don’t know about. I have never needed Spanish moss. I have heard it. It has really been used for packaging. They used it to stuff cushions for furniture in the past. There are anecdotal reports that it was used as a medicinal, like a poultice and you would wrap the moss around something like a bandage. But really, as far as having enzymes, I would have to say, that I am not familiar with Standard Process’ Spanish moss product.

Now regarding beet root that probably is the value of the nitric oxide from its antioxidants inside of the beet. And the same for organic carrot and so forth. And so that's all I can say about Spanish moss.

Question

“I’m

  1. No changes to supplements or hormones. Only on Estradiol, progesterone prescription biological fibroids. Supplements are primrose oil, vitamin D plus K, probiotics, magnesium and a multivitamin, Quercetin, and Zinc. Suddenly, shedding a lot of hair the last few weeks. Could COVID five months ago and a recent episode of gastroenteritis and fever cause this?”

Answer

The answer is yes. Well, stress can show up in our body through the delayed impact with hair loss. This is well recognized, at least anecdotally in the practice of medicine. So, I would just hold tight there and just wait on things and take good care of your health. Eat healthy, don't eat late, be low carb, exercise, drink plenty of water, get a good night's sleep, and see your doctor and manage things that way so that we can know for sure that doing all those things your hair should come back and stop shedding. We do have seasons of shedding anyway. But an illness or acute stress often is associated.

I recall the story my father who has now passed. My grandfather died suddenly in an accident in Chicago. He was an L-train operator or maintenance and somehow, he got crushed. And so, my father I think was nine years old. And my dad was so shocked by this knowledge, being an immigrant from Lithuania, and the family being in such a terrible situation to provide for themselves in Chicago. My dad lost all of his hair. But it all grew back. And he had a very thick head of hair, even well into his late 80s before he passed. Hopefully that is reassuring. 

Question

“I take a thyroid medication every day. Can I skip every other day and replace it with Inderal iodine?”

Answer

Well, iodine is a salt. Whereas, your thyroid hormone is an actual organic compound. And these are not the same thing. You can probably just add a 12.5-milligram iodine salt to whatever you’re doing. See your doctor and see if the dose of your thyroid medication could possibly be lowered. 

Question

“I am on NP Thyroid 60-milligrams for the past five years. I recently heard through a friend who sees an endocrinologist that np Thyroid causes hair loss and heart disease. Have you every heard such a thing?”

Answer

I’ve heard that. They say that these armorer thyroid and the natural thyroids are stimulatory for the metabolic rate through the action of thyroid. And in older people, they’re always concerned that you would over stimulate the heart. And that would be a stress on them.

Now, have I seen this in 41-years of practice? No. Could Levothyroxine, Triethylene, Liothyronine, Levothyroxine, Synthroid, can they do it? Sure. They could all create too much of a stimulation as well. So, I think this is largely the influence of the pharmaceutical corruption. They do not want you using anything but their patented, high money-making pharmaceutics. So, anything that is natural and has lost its patented, they poop poop and generate these myths that are past down from medical schools on. So, there you have it. 

Question

“My

recent mammograms have shown calcifications in the breast tissue. I took supplements, a K-Complex and I don’t see a difference. While I am 55 and have heard this is typical, can you advise on why this does occur in the breast tissue? And what if, any, can aid in the elimination of this to occur in our body? The radiologist is requiring every six-months to monitor and would like to know if there are other ways than mammography that could be more beneficial.”

Answer

Well, EDTA chelation therapy is something that I would probably do on a very purposeful plan. I would do a complete IV, once a week or twice a week, until you get through 30 of them. I would take and maybe the Vitamin K2 is maybe an inferior form. The Vitamin MK7 is what we use as our K Vitamin. And the dosing has to be robust enough. I would certainly say that 90-micrograms to 180-micrograms of Vitamin K2 should be taken every day. Vitamin D supplementation along with it in the form of somewhere around 5000-international units.

Then I would be on a low carb diet because the tiny capillaries throughout our breasts and brain and everywhere in our tissues are irritated with the standard American diet and the spikes of sugars and proliferation that it stimulates through the action of insulin. I would also drink plenty of water. So, I would take systemic enzymes like Vascuzyme or Vitalzym or ProteoXyme, in the form of five, twice a day to dis-inflame your body. And that should help.

 I was told that I did one mammogram, I think I was 38 years old, somewhere in that range of age. And then, I did another mammogram when I was 58. Those are the only two I have ever done. By the time that I was 58, what little micro-calcifications were noted in the original one, were all gone. So, I do this through chelation.

Then the other thing is you might need more than 30, you might need 60, who knows. But the the issue is EDTA chelation with Vitamin K2 and D, and a healthy lifestyle and systemic enzyme should be very beneficial.

As far as other means of testing, and why does this happen? Whenever the little membrane endothelial of your capillaries, your little arterioles in your arteries get irritated or damaged from anything like this inoculation with the COVID mRNA that generates the spike protein that would be definitely damaging to the lining and create a proliferation of endothelial irritation to which calcium could attach itself. So, I would stay away from things like that, that would inflame the endothelial lining. I would eat a very low carb diet. Another thing you could test is, in general, if you have microcalcifications in the breast, you might want to do a coronary artery calcium score and see how your coronary arteries look. So, that's a coronary artery calcium score. And have your doctor order this and just compare that. Because if you're putting calcifications into your breasts, little capillaries, you might be putting them elsewhere as well.

Now, the same treatment chelation, same healthy lifestyle, water enzymes, Vitamin K2, Vitamin D, all these things would be valuable. So, that’s how I would address that. 

Question

My daughter, age 56, Hashimoto’s. But she’s doing very well. She follows an integrative lifestyle with excellent diet and numerous supplements, including 10,000 of Vitamin D a day. However, extended orthodontist dental work has affected her oral bone health. So, she is in need of a supplement that supplies comprehensive bone support. I take and had suggested to her Jarrow Formulas Bone Up, but she’s concerned about the Boron in it. Seems to remember that her naturopath, now retired, suggested that it’s okay for men but not for women because it has some interaction with estrogen, estrogenic causing estrogen dominance. Since Boron is included in many basic daily multivitamins and bone support formulas, is there a milligram limit one should be concerned about?”

Answer

So, off the top of my head, I don’t have the number about Boron in milligrams and strength. But I don’t think that is the issue. When you have orthodontics and all these braces and rubber bands, your ability to get in there and chew and that chopping sensation is actually a stimulation by the sudden deceleration of your teeth stopping and it transmits information to your bones. What I would suggest, I would ask if she has had a bone density? Does she have other areas where she has bone mineral loss? Is she on a prescription for like Fosamax or Actonel, Boniva, reclassed IV, intermittently for bone loss? Some of these have been associated with areas of osteonecrosis and bone damage in the jaw.

Does the Vitamin D that she's taking have good Vitamin K2? She needs to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. So, I would get a chewable, you know, almost like a dog toy in a sense, where you would chew on a rubber that she can bite down on. A lot of people with orthodontics don't want to do that because there's so many little things you get food stuck into, they develop this habit of not having a good chewing, and bone activity.

Another thing that we can do is ask her what her testosterone level is? And give her DHEA which converts to testosterone in women 50-milligrams a day of DHEA is a very good choice. But go find some plastic. You might get like an end of a spatula, that you clean out your bowls with. If you bite on the spatula, just have a habit that you’re biting on the spatula on both sides, gnawing on it, that will exercise the jaw as well. So, that’s really what she needs to do. Maybe some DHEA. Find out if she is on some bone losing medications. Did she have a bone density? Is she on Vitamin K2. Hopefully that will help. 

Question

A young friend of mine, just 40 years old, has been experiencing severe right sided head and eye pain since February. She’s tested positive from anti-nuclear antibodies. And her numbers went from 160 to 320. She has been advised to have an MRI and find a rheumatologist. She only knows that testing positive is a sign for potential autoimmune disease, which is frightening her, understandably. I know that there are many things going on in her life. She owns and teaches at a Pilates studio. Her daughter will soon be three. She’s coming up on her first anniversary of her mom’s passing and then her grandmother just passed away this year in February. I believe she has been vaccinated for COVID and recently had it as well.”

Answer

She should be under the care of her physician and with a persistent headache like that, that's one sided, lateralized, she should have imaging of her brain because this is six months already. So that is a necessity. So, she should have that done.

But you know, what kind of a diet is she on? And is she drinking enough water? What is her blood type? We could do food allergies. We could look for inflammation in her digestion with a complete digestive stool analysis. She should be on enzymes, systemic enzymes, twice a day. She should be on the apparent essential oils, which are the essential fatty acids little LAC and alpha linolenic acid. I would probably have her on six a day, three, twice a day. I would have her on the enzymes. And I would have her to drink enough water. And hopefully she's not a vegan. Hopefully she's eating the stuff we're made of. So, eating healthy grass-fed beef and fish and grass-fed with the skin on a chicken and so forth. She could do chelation IVs to dis-inflame the irritation of the vasculature. High dose Vitamin C IVs help with that. Systemic enzymes help. So, you know she should see a good doctor that will work with her doctor who is doing the MRI of her brain and try and work on cleaning up her metabolism and dis-inflaming her. 

Question

“What is the best pre-workout for a hard early morning workout? I just started working out first thing in the morning at 506:30. I love the mental clarity of working out first thing in the day. But fueling a workout of weightlifting and heavy calisthenics on just water isn't giving me the same level of energy that I have an hour after eating a substantial meal or when I used to take fruit or starch before workout.”

Answer

I think you are saying, best pre-workout meal?

Well, I have the excellent suggestion for you. I would use the Drs Nutrition Bar. If you want to convert all that effort and that little micro trauma to your muscles to help them build, they're made of protein, phospholipids, and protein. And that's exactly why we designed these bars. You could have one or two bars in the morning. That'd be great. It has 15-grams of protein in it. Each bar it has 15-grams of soluble fiber to help you poop. It is insoluble fiber. It has prebiotics in it and on and on. But that’s what I would do.

You can also make some powder, SBI Protect, with NT powder and that would be drinking it as a powdered form instead of chewing it as a bar. Hopefully that would help you. Let us know if it does. 

Question

“What helps to heal bones? I broke both feet jumping over a retaining wall doing gardening. This was three weeks ago. On one foot, I broke the bone connecting the toes to the metatarsal. And on the other, I broke the fibula. I am wearing orthopedic boots on both feet. I do take Vitalzym, TLC multi-vitamin, essential oils from Body Health, and the Perfect Aminos. Yes, I am a patient. Anything else I can do?”

Answer

Fasting stimulates healing and bone growth and repair. So, if you did a prolonged fast, if you could work at eating one meal a day, like 20-hour fast, 21, 22-hour fast. So, go from dinner to dinner or something like that, or only eat you know, midday, one meal. That's kind of like how I eat anyway. Fasting stimulates growth hormones and repair hormones. So, fasting is the number one thing for any injury, any post-surgical healing, anything you want to do. The other thing is to eat rich protein and fats because you're trying to rebuild the bone. And they need the minerals that are rich in proteins that are in like meat, fish, chicken, turkey, beef eggs, from grass-fed sources, wild caught.

The other thing is drinking enough water. And again, if you took DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA 50-milligrams a day, that'll raise your female testosterone, that will also help as well. That'd be what I would suggest you do. 

You need to make sure that you get a bone density. Having jumped like that and then have some foot fractures, I'm concerned about your bone density. And I would wonder if you're on natural hormones that would also help stimulate bone healing. Progesterone helps. You could come by, I don't know who you are, or you could go over the counter and get some on natural progesterone cream and use two to four pumps and rub it on your arms and legs every day. That stimulates bone building. 

Question

“In one of your episodes, I heard you saying that everyone should take iodine. Since iodine supports thyroid functions, does that include people like me that are on a high dose of thyroid medications? I am on three grains of NP Thyroid and 25-micrograms of Liothyronine. If yes, how much should I take?

Answer

I would say, remember iodine is a salt. These are carbon hydrogen compounds in our bodies that are communicators. So, they are two different things. Iodine attaches to the thyroid hormone. So, yeah, you can take the iodine. If you take an Iodoral, 12.5-milligrams three times a week, that’s probably a good starting point. The side effect of too much thyroid would be a racing resting heart rate, tremulous, diarrhea. If the iodine is supporting your thyroid function and need less iodine for your energy requirements, you can cut back your own dose of thyroid. It is very safe to do that. And then, follow up with your doctor and retest your dose. 

Question

“I’ve been on replacement hormones since I was 45. I am now 62. I went into early menopause and I could not think clearly. And I felt like I was having a nervous breakdown all the time. So, I  went on hormones and have been stable. I started it with bioidentical hormones. But when I changed doctors, my gynecologist had me on the FEM ring at a .05-milligram and I would change it out every 90 days. When our insurance changed, they would no longer cover the FEM ring, so I have been on the Estradiol bi-weekly patch for the last years or so, same dose, probably a 0.05 patch.

My question is, how safe are replacement hormones? I have always been a little concerned about the possibility of cancer. Every doctor that I've talked to has poo pooed that idea. I will say that I feel very stable and comfortable. I am able to have a good physical relationship with my husband, and I can think clearly. I have put quality of life first for me. I'm afraid to go off the patch for fear I revert to how I was when I first started menopause. I also liked the fact that I do not have hot flashes. I am warmer than I've ever been in my life. But at least I'm not sweating profusely and having those terrible heat surges.”

Answer

I would read the book called, Estrogen Matters. It is written by a gynecologist. You can go on our YouTube series, if you put in Tustin Longevity Center on YouTube, and then scroll down about two to three years ago, you will see two women sitting there, Dr. Meric and Dr. Mitchell, and I think it says, 2 Gynecologists Discuss Hormones. They go through this book that came out at that time. It is very thorough. It is very supportive of all the benefits of natural hormone. And it poo poos any research intimating that it is causative for cancer. So, read that book.

Now, my question to you is do you have your uterus or was it surgically removed? And why aren't you on progesterone? Progesterone is valuable as well. So, you should have a doctor who is familiar for many, many years with natural hormone replacement therapy and the value of progesterone. Hopefully, that will help you. And I would not worry about the cancer issue. The thing that really causes cancer is a high carb, high insulin stimulating diet. 

Question

“Suggestions for gut health? If a possible bacterial infection may be caused for low energy and some borderline low lab values, I know gut health is very important. So, how do you suggest one maintain their gut?”

Answer

Well, gut health, they say all disease begins in the gut for the most part. And so, I would want to begin by knowing your blood type, how old you are, what your weight is, how active you are, how much stresses in your life, what your diet is like? You know, what surgeries you've had and what your bowel habits are like? I would say go on a low carb diet because carbohydrates in general and processed foods are full of so many chemicals today, genetic modified organ organisms. And it has glyphosates, pesticide, herbicide. Now we're concerned about they are even spraying it with components that may have heavy metals in it, and they fall out of the sky. So, it's quite an issue.

 

But fasting is very important for detoxing the gut. The low carb diet, a rich protein and fat in your diet because your gut lining membrane which is very fragile for all the work it does every day for you, it is made of a by lipid protein fatty layer. So, you have to eat the protein, some fat every day, I would never eat late at night. I would eat on a time restricted phase, so your stomach is more empty than it is full. So, try and eat, you know, for a six-hour window and then for 18-hours you are not. That is like eating noon to 6 p.m. If you can cut it to a 20-hour fast, and eat only in a four-hour window, that is even better. 

We can do complete digestive stool analysis, various things that we can do to help you with that depending on your age, using digestive enzymes helps, probiotics. Prebiotics help. Sometimes you need two different kinds of probiotics at a time. There are various things we can do.

Question

“A dear friend was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. This appears to be in the early stages and has not impacted the bladder wall lymph nodes. I read that this type of bladder cancer can come back. Suggestions to keep the immune in check to stay in remission once she has this removed?”

Answer

Well of course she needs to be under the care of her oncologist who will monitor her and do regular scopes where they look up the urethra into the bladder there. But after her initial management, you know we would certainly say she could be supported at the same time she's going through this with high dose vitamin C IVs, enhanced chelation to reduce detoxing, because we know like cadmium and various heavy metal toxins are hyper-concentrated into the urine and are associated with kidney and bladder cancer. Of course be on a low carb diet or a carnivore time on a restricted eating, so that you're not stimulating insulin, which stimulates anything to grow including cancers.

I would dis-inflame the body with enzymes, both with eating and on an empty stomach, systemic enzymes. I would want to know her blood type. I would want her to drink at least half her weight in pounds as ounces of water every day, filtered water. You know, stay away from any processed food. And then, I would probably have her drink green tea, four to eight cups a day, a quality green tea. 

Question

“What brand of systemic enzymes do you recommend or are they all good? It is per your recommendations of getting rid of acne.”

Answer

I like Argentyn silver and it’s over the counter as Sovereign silver. I would spray it on your face, morning and evening. Or as often as you’d like. And then, systemic enzymes are anti-inflammatory, low carb diet for acne. Never eat late, that kind of stuff. 

Question

“There are 10-forms of magnesium, and two of them help with sleep. Magnesium glycerinate and magnesium malate? Do you agree?

Answer

I think they are both chelates, amino acids chelate. LBN is the one that is the major high-quality producer of these. And these amino acid chelates, the malate and the glycerinate are amino acid forms. But there are others. There is magnesium citrate, magnesium sulfate. And I think those are valuable. 

Question

“What is your opinion on correcting crooked teeth in young children? Does it affect their cognitive development since it’s so close in proximity?”

Answer

You know, crooked teeth typically reflect, as I understand it-- If you go to Weston Price, he was the dentist in the 1920 when cameras came out. He started taking pictures all around the world of endemic people who had no pollution from industrialization. And they all had beautiful, cavity free teeth, perfect alignment, and they never brushed their teeth or anything. And of course, they didn’t have refined carbohydrates at all or candies or sugared drinks. Now, the other thing associated is that they all seem to have such a rich diet that had Vitamin D and K2 in it. He felt that the lack of the Vitamin, I think he called Vitamin X because they didn’t know what this nutrient in the body was that was associated with such good teeth alignment. And it turned out to be Vitamin K2.

This is in the dairy and the free-range grass-fed products and beef and beef liver and and their creams and so forth. So, as far as this having an impact on their mental acuity, I'm going to say, I have never seen anything credible, even in Weston Price talking about this. Other than the association if your diet even in pregnancy and your mother's diet was so bad, then maybe there's other dietary things that would affect brain to development and cognitive development. Especially if you're missing some of these nutrients, you don't get that palette formed well and development and then the teeth kind of come out a little crooked.

But if the child is eating excellent healthy diet, low in refined carbohydrates, avoiding all juices and apple juices and stuff, not eating late at night, brushes their teeth twice a day, is exercising, getting their sleep, drinking their water, and is involved with human beings and discussion and their value and they're being loved on. And that God of creation, they're made in the image of God Almighty, this is a child that will prosper. And I don't think there's anything to say about their teeth at that point. At least that's the best I can come up for you.

 

Question

“The supplement industry seems to get a bad rap because there are very few clinical trials on products to qualify results they claim. In lieu of federal regulation, would peer reviewed studies make sense?”

Answer

Absolutely, but who’s going to do this? One of the things that we have done, we have developed our Drs Nutrition Bar, we get our own clinical studies, we flip the bill for it, we take the hit financially. And so, in order to get yourself published in the Journal of Nutrition, JAMA, Lancet, you know, those journals are corrupt. Remember Dr. Maraha Angle of the New England Journal of Medicine, she was the editor-in-chief for 20+ years. And recently as 10 years ago or so, when she retired, her parting statement was, you know, someone in the realm, she’s so sorry to have to tell you that the vast majority, I don’t know the percentages, but it was high. I’m thinking she said somewhere near to 80%. But she said the mast majority of the scientific publications in the New England Journal are just trash. They are industry captured trash. And the same goes for Dr. Horton from the Lancet. He said the same thing as the chief-editor. And we saw the redactions of the data on hydroxychloroquine and the false reporting and this past volatile year. So, you know, I give the FDA an F. I give the CDC an F. I give the NIH an F. I give New England Journal of Medicine an F. I give Lancet an F.

And guess what, how does that make me feel as a doctor? It makes me dedicated to do my own research, my own reading, open up the books, open up the texts, getting communication with doctors. I'm doing it all the time. In fact, we doctors here, we have our own clinical meeting. And here's the requirement for my doctors working with me.

This is Tustin Longevity Center, monthly clinical huddle preparation form, to be submitted to the practice manager by the first Tuesday of the month. Because we always meet the second Tuesday. And so, we shut the practice down. We don't put money and patient income in. We say, we need time to talk amongst ourselves as doctors. And so, we have our own call schedule listed here, our huddle schedules. And number one, it says time off. If you have anything planned.

But number two it says required. Case studies of interest. Good, bad, outcome, or a challenging case for discussion. Submit at least one patient name, date of birth, and topic to present. So, we discuss challenging patients that we have and how we might improve their health. And you know, between the seven doctors here, we come up with some pretty good ideas.

Number three, article studies of interests for discussion. Submit at least one article, publication to discuss. Number four, formulary suggestion. List anything to add or to remove from vitamins, prescriptions, IVs, labs, procedures, or services. We're always doing an internal review. Issues for discussion and then we want to find out you know what kind of problems they have. 

So, you see, we can do it. We can take good care. We can get published. But you know it cost so much money. So yeah, you're not going to have-- And by the way, the FDA is a bought off captured service. No supplement is allowed to say that it can treat anything. And so, the descriptions are all going to be words like may help with feeling bloated, may help with this condition, but it can never say anything treatment. And you can't patent natural things. So, who's going to invest money in this? It's all corrupt. We got to tear the whole corrupted thing down, the whole capture thing down.

Question

“Can your center help with sugar detox? I have sweet tooth and can’t quit sugar.”

Answer

Yes, we can. But we’re going to work with you because you have to ultimately go home and own what you want. And we can collaborate with you, we can help facilitate with diet, counsel, and certain nutrients that help you to detox. But yes, we can help you with that. 

Question

“I’m 70 years old and need to schedule a colonoscopy. What do you recommend taking after the procedure?”

Answer

What do I recommend taking after a colonoscopy? Probably a big glass of OptiMag Neural with Vitality C, that's magnesium, vitamin C. And then, a tablespoon of Argentyn silver to kill off any bacteria, fungi, or viruses. And I would fast for 12 hours and just rest after a procedure like that. And then, I would eat what I would want. And then use the digestive enzyme.

I would also take the probiotics. I use Ortho Biotic mostly and I would use a double dose of probiotics for many days, maybe two weeks at least afterwards as a double dose, hopefully that helps you. 

Question

“I do not know if you covered this before, but what are your thoughts about earthing and grounding?”

Answer

Yes, we have and I believe in it totally.

We are electrochemical vibrational beings, you know, get the book, Vibrational Medicine, get the book, Body Electric. And we need to discharge negative ions. And these ions are discharged into the Earth, if you stand on the morning, do grass in your home every day. If you're at the beach, and you're standing in the saltwater, that's a very good way to do it. So, I am totally in favor of it.

 

Now, they have these marketed pads and stuff that I suppose are valuable too. But again, I would like to see the research on it.

Question

“What is the best way to come off an extended water fast, five days?”

Answer

Well, I do that twice a year. And I just eat, you know. And I eat what I want. But you know, I don't want to turn this into a mythology or mystical thing, you're designed to eat. And so, after you've gone on a five day fast, I'm not going to say worry about anything, eat what you want. You should be able to eat anything after a five day fast. You should have the healthiest gut at that time. I know, people say be gentle and don't overdo it. Well, you know, after five days of not eating, I'm hungry. So, I'll eat chicken and fish and beef and vegetables and and so forth. So, I don't think there's a mystery there. I think you can just go for what you need to eat.

Question

“On Dr. Mercola’s site, he has an article on MSN methylsulfonylmethane and how it supports easy movement and helps reduce side effects of cellular aging. Are we getting this through a good diet anyway?”

Answer

Yes, our body should be making this. Methylsulfonylmethane is very helpful as a penetrant as well. No, that is DMSO. Yes, it is helpful with the cross linking and this is really in our diets. If you are eating eggs, meat, fish, chicken, turkey, beef, liver, you are going to get plenty of this and you should do well anyway. So, once again, I don’t want to lift up one molecule and say it’s the end all be all. It is everything all together. MSN has been found to be helpful. There are some peer reviewed articles that it was helpful with arthritis, hip pain, and stuff. 

Question

“If we find that we have been exposed to COVID, what should we add to our regular supplements to boost our immune system for the following week?”

Answer

Well, I put together the that immune protect bottle and I put it in Quercetin, the C, the zinc, all those things in it. The one thing I didn’t put in the ImmuneProtect is Vitamin D. Because I like people who take 50,000 Vitamin D once a day for five days to really boost your vitamin D level for a week. And then go back to your usual five or 10,000 that you're on. That is what I would do for a week or two. And you should do quite well. 

 

If you need it, we can order Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, and so forth. But I’ve just used Quercetin. I had my Ivermectin and the desk here and hydroxychloroquine. I have just needed it. I have stayed well, even working six days a week. 

Question

“Any quick thought on the safety of Botox and fillers? Haven’t taken the leap yet, but wondering if a little in the frown lines would soften my brow.”

Answer

I am not for those injectables. I have seen some very bad, sad impacts. Especially cosmetically. So, that's why I use my Estradiol cream to my face, you know. So, that I don't have as much of those wrinkles that you would expect me to have at just about 70 years old. And then, of course, I take my enzymes, get a good night sleep, I do workouts five days a week. I drink my water. I’m on a very low carb diet. I do not like Botox. It’s a toxin, you know. It’s a parallelizing toxin. I would not use it. I cannot support that. I’m sorry. 

Question

“Still have sleep problems. TLC Goodnight isn’t cutting it.”

Answer

I wonder if you are taking enough progesterone at night time. I wonder if you are eating too late at night. I wonder if maybe you're napping in the middle of the day. But you know, see your doctor, come in and see us. And actually, not drinking enough water is another reason why our brain gets irritable. A lack of estradiol makes our brain irritable. What else? Lack of magnesium. So, let us try and help you or see your local or local doctor.
