Question
“Hi, Dr. E. A friend had foot surgery months later. Her foot still hurts even when she walks a lot. Told her about Vitalzym. If she gets the regular formula, how many should she take daily, and what else?”  [0:04:41]

Answer
Vitalzym is a systemic enzyme that is taken on an empty stomach, so that the inflammatory action of the enzymes that we naturally lose as we age helps to reduce the inflammation that surrounds a site of irritation. So while we're trying to clear off the irritation, we can have the benefit and help this enzyme, and I take it. I recommend that all people take some. If you're on natural hormones, I require you to take systemic enzymes every day. And we use a lot of it after surgeries to totally disinflame the body after the surgery because there's a lot of trauma to the body at that time. 

So, she said, if she gets the regular formula, because there are two formulas. One is the extra strength, Vitalzym Xe, and the other is just standard Vitalzym. It's in a bottle; whereas the XE is in a box, in a blister pack, a punched-out type of delivery. How many should she take daily, and what else? Well, it depends on how big the woman is, how petite the woman is, and what her blood type is. But in general, the recommendation is three times a day on an empty stomach to keep the blood uninflamed and less sticky.
But for treating inflammation in the body, like a sore part of the body, I would certainly say, for two weeks, I would use it five times a day. And d then see the difference. It's going to be on an empty stomach, so first thing in the morning, last thing at night. Maybe one week would do¸ and then drop down to just once a day five. And if you're still feeling good, then you can drop down to three again. So, I think there should be a peak use for a few days, at least about a week minimum, if not two weeks. I would recommend five times a day on an empty stomach. I would recommend half her weight in pounds as ounces. So, if she's 150, that would be 75 ounces of water a day. I would recommend that she not eat past, say, 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I would recommend that she eat a very low-carb diet or a diet rich in protein, such as a more carnivore-like diet with only cooked vegetables, salt to taste, and maybe some cooked vegetables if she can't be a pure carnivore. She should see a difference immediately. She could also fast if she's able to fast. I don't know if she's diabetic, but in general, most people can fast for 24 to 48 hours, and that helps create a big hit of reducing inflammation in the body. Those are the general. There are other things. There are oils, Clinician Oils. There's using magnesium as a muscle relaxant because with chronic pain, there's tension and stress and strain on the muscles, and so forth. But in general, that's how I would approach it. Hopefully, those are some helpful ideas. But of course, have her see the person who did the surgery, so they know if she's not getting the relief that she wanted. 

Question
“Hi Dr E, is it enough to test hemoglobin electrophoresis to rule out methemoglobinemia? My daughter reacted to dental anesthesia and had to get tested. Her pediatrician did not know how to test for actual methemoglobinemia. He said he did not know the code.”  [0:08:34]

Answer
I don't think you need to do that. There is a certain percentage of people who have these, so to speak, little snips and genetic changes. I would get her blood type, whatever her blood type is, and have her take a methylated B complex. I recommend Juice Plus for everyone, and a low-carb diet. That should probably be enough. But I don't think she has to go all the way to the testing of the electrophoresis to rule out methemoglobinemia. But again, have her doctor make the final decision. I don't know and can't recall if I've ever seen your daughter. But in general, methylated B complex, Juice Plus, vitamin D, and taking a good mineral, like TLC Multiminerals, which have the co-factors for almost every reaction in the body, along with a methylated B complex, with vitamin D, with one iodine, and a low-carb diet. And if she is a blood type A, she would need digestive enzymes. Half her weight in pounds as ounces of water every day. Exercise, sunlight, and she should do fine. So, hopefully that goes well. Let us know how that goes. 

She went on to say, “Her pediatrician did not know how to test for actual methemoglobinemia. He said he did not know the code.” I find that hard to believe. You just have to type it into the computer and look it up. I'm thinking that, you know, this is not something that is going to be a problem during her lifetime. This is a reaction to the procaine. Procaine can have, there can be a difficulty in breaking it down, and you have these prolonged reactions to it. I just don't think you need to be that worried about it. And you could go to a hematologist, I suppose, that would be a specialist in the blood, and you could talk to them about it, but I think your pediatrician should be the best one locally there to guide you as to any further steps. It doesn't sound like your pediatrician is worried. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said he doesn't know what to do. He would've pursued it further. So, I'm not an expert in methemoglobinemia or a hematologist; I'm a general practitioner, but I've seen this problem in the past 45 years of my practice. It's rare, but I've never seen it in any serious, life-threatening kind of scenario, and that couldn't be handled with just, you know, like saying I'm penicillin allergic. So doctors have a better idea of what to give you if they ever need anesthesia. That's my best idea. But discuss with your pediatrician; if not, see the hematologist. 

Question
“My son doesn’t have dental insurance and has a toothache or maybe an abscess. He has been cleaning with salt water. He says it’s swollen. What else can he do?”  [0:12:12]

Answer
I don't know where you live, but I would look up the dental school in your area. So, look up dental schools wherever you live, and they are always looking for volunteer patients as examples for their teaching and training. They'll be supervised by an experienced and trained dentist, and then that's probably the way I would go about it if you had a problem. If you go to the emergency room for pain, they're just going to give you an antibiotic and some anti-inflammatory or pain medicine and tell you to go find a dentist who can deal with it. But I would try to find a dental school and enroll or become a referral for their workup and management if this is serious. Now, what would I do in the meantime? Well, I would get a high-dose vitamin C drip, an IV. High-dose Vitamin C is the universal antitoxin. So, if there's an infection there or whatever, that's going to be a tremendous mechanism by which you can reduce the oxidative stress and probably even have some kill off of any bacteria. I'm waiting for January 30th for one of my first molars- I had a crown, apparently something got in it. It's 10, 20, 30 years old, I don't know how long it's been there. And they did X-rays about a week ago to check some other work they did over here, which was fine. But they saw some inflammation in the tooth root there, and they think I have an infected root canal. I'm not in pain. Well, I. I do, I have awareness of it. And so, I tell you, when I take the high-dose vitamin C drip here, and I do it once or twice a week, right now I'm doing it twice a week, that high dose 25 grams of vitamin C just floods my whole body, and I actually can just not feel it. The last IV I had was yesterday, and I'm just feeling very, very good. So, I use high-dose vitamin C. I use the Argentyn silver. Which is the nasal spray? So that goes up the nose, but I can screw this thing off, and I can take a little sip out of it, or I have a refill bottle to refill this with. And I'll just take a sip after I brush my teeth before bed, swish it, and then I swallow it down. And so, all that silver is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral. And then I use systemic enzyme like I was telling Jennifer in the first questionnaire. I'm taking five at least once a day. And I just don't have any pain or trouble with it. So, I think I'm managing it very, very well, and I'm, of course, extremely low carb, primarily meat and a cooked vegetable. So, that's what I would suggest. Hopefully, that's a helpful idea for you. Okay. 

Question
“My daughter has thyroid nodules. Do you think supplemental iodine would be helpful?”  [0:15:57]

Answer
Well, I clinically have seen iodine supplementally help reduce it. I've seen it reduced. So I take iodine every day of my life. I have for 30 years, maybe. I take about 12.5 mg. Sometimes I take. 25 mg, one or two tablets a day. And I just think that all glands have a higher metabolism – your breasts, your prostate. Glandular material needs certain nutrients to perform its function. And the metabolic function of every cell requires iodine. The American diet is woefully absent. In fact, I hear so many reports that the nutritional surveys done on food values about every five years are compared to the original times, like Corinne Netzer, and she published this book on food values, I think, around 1950. Well, this is a 1992 revision, 1992 revision. But the original, I don't have the time to look here, but anyway. She's kind of like the king of doing analytical chemistry, food values. And the food values today compared to what was done in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s shows that we're about 70% less nutrient density in our food than we were back in the early part of the 20th century. And so, iodine is pretty much used everywhere in breads. You would see iodinated bread, flowers, and all kinds of things. And they took that out, and they replaced it with bromine. Now they had to, in my opinion, be stupid to do that, or they had nefarious plans to make us all metabolically sluggish and ruin our immune systems for nefarious reasons. We may need pharmaceuticals. But anyway. They took it out, and they put things like bromine in many of the drinks, like Gatorade. That is the most stupid drink to drink if you're an athlete for metabolism. 

So, my thought is the leaky gut from our terrible food, glyphosated, genetically-modified, junky, cheap carbohydrate, processed, refined foods damages the lining of our gut. The one-cell membrane lining stresses our immune system. We get molecular mimicry through the damaged sites, and that food leaks through, and then it autoattacks our thyroid, stresses our immune system. The thyroid can't keep up with the metabolic demands. It needs iodine, so it will literally try and get big, just like your breasts or your prostate, which will try and swell up to make more tissue that can filter and get what it needs for the function of the gland. So, we give iodine, and we tend to see here nowhere near the national incidents of breast cancer occurrence, heart disease occurrence, Alzheimer's occurrence, and diabetes occurrence. In this clinic here at Tustin Longevity, we are at the bottom of the incidence of the national average because we do these things preventatively, and we study it all the time. So I am not worried about thyroid nodules. I will do ultrasounds. If they have a unique character that shows any growth, activity, or appearance of the nodule that is suspicious, we will refer them for fine needle biopsies. But in general, the vast majority of them are very, very benign, and we just track them. And they tend to shrink here with enzymes, like Vitalzym, systemic enzymes, or ProteoXyme that we have here, Vascuzyme on an empty stomach to disinflame them. And then by giving the iodine, there tends to be a calmness in the thyroid gland that I've seen over. I would say I've been using supplemental iodine aggressively. I had it in the liquid Lugol’s form when I was a much younger doctor, but it spills and stains things, so I was very happy to see it come in the oral tablet form. So that's what I would say about that regarding the iodine. My clinical experiences are helpful. 

Question
“My iodine test showed 79% 2 years ago, and this year it's 60%. How is that possible? I actually took more iodine each day and did not do anything different. Could the test be inaccurate? The dentist said it's life-threatening. She is blood type 0. Her hemoglobin electrophoresis was normal. I think she is allergic to epinephrine. She does have an MTHFR gene snip. All of my family members got sick except me. Does that mean that I may have had the virus in the past and became immune to it?”  [0:21:35]

Answer
Well, anything is possible, and I'm so glad that you're taking iodine every day. I think you should probably try two of them a day. Then you may be in a very low iodine region. Remember, in the Chicago, Michigan area, there was an extremely low iodine area. And the place, I think you're in Texas, may be very low. So, I would retest it, and I would just take two iodine tablets, and then retest in maybe, you know, three to six months and see where you're at. But that is unusual. Having majored in chemistry, analytical chemistry, and a biochemistry minor, I know that in analytical chemistry, we can make mistakes. And I know, with today's workforce, I have grave concerns about the commitment to precision that I used to see 45 years ago when I started practicing medicine, compared to now. I just don't see that dedication to the field as a ministry. I see that too many people see their work as just a job and not that their lives depend on it. So, we're just going to have to repeat that and use more. 

She added that her daughter's hemoglobin electrophoresis was done, and it was normal. Okay. So again, it's extremely rare to have methemoglobinemia, and even still, that's not a death sentence or anything like that. So, just be cautious of it and share with any doctor with whom you're going to be doing surgery, if anything. Or if she has children later on, she'll need to tell her gynecologist OB that she has a sensitivity to procaine. But there are plenty of people with that. 

She goes on to say, “I think she is allergic to epinephrine. She does not have the MTHFR gene snip either.” Well, it certainly could be. And so, we all carry these little odd things about ourselves, and thank God we're resiliently and fearfully, wonderfully made by our Lord, that when we run into things like this, most of the time, the vast majority of the time, we do very well. 

“All of our family members got sick except for her. Does that mean that I may have had the virus in the past and became immune to it?” – Definitely. I would say that's a logical plot there. 

Question
“Hi, Dr. Rita. My husband is 43 and losing lower leg hair on the outside of the leg. Do you know what could cause this? He seems healthy overall.”  [0:24:36]

Answer
Yeah, it's aging. Most men, and part of the evaluation I make as a physician is when I'm looking at the feet of all my patients, and fortunately, here in California, a lot of people wear flip flops because we're in such a warm climate year-round, for the most part, I look to see if there's hair on the toes. So, if on the toe I see hair right below the toenail, then I know the circulation of this person is good because hair will not grow where the circulation is poor, or if there's a constant trauma. And so, if he wears tight jeans, and that's the fashion today, that's going to create trauma on the outer aspects of his legs, and that will also irritate and cause micro-inflammation of the follicles, and they'll stop. And then all old people, let's say if you were to go into an old folks’ home and just look at the legs of all the men and women there, mostly in the men, you'll just see that the hair just doesn't grow anymore to the lower extremities, and that's from the tiny microcirculation, which is diminished with aging. 

So what helps that? Well, I don't think that if he doesn't have any circulation problems and he has hair on his toes, he probably doesn't, but I still would do EDTA chelation for microcirculation with all the nutrients, vitamin C, minerals, and B  vitamins, to help with all the capillaries throughout the tissue. So, you have less oxidative stress in your tissues. Your tissues will have better cycling of life. You'll have better skin, hair, all those things. And plus you'll be getting rid of heavy metals. So, we feel very committed that the whole world has been exposed to the industrial age and industry buying off corrupt politicians. It seems like anyone today, it's a rare person to see a statesman who goes into service as a mayor, a state representative or a congressman nationally, or a senator, or president, or elected official, or sheriff. Many of these people are using it for personal gain and fame instead of keeping it as an honorable service, and they're bought off by industry. And they can get the iodine taken out, and they can allow the people to get sick. Although I'm happy that Kennedy got the milk back into the dietary recommendations. But what in the heck is the government for dietary recommendations anyway? Just get the government out of it. Let us, the 50 states, have our own local or our own city recommendations, so we don't suffer the whole nation's disease because of some edict or recommendation of an administration that is administrative law that's bogging us down from our freedoms. Let us have local control, get the government out of our businesses. Their job should be to protect people from harming one another, essentially, and then let all the local people sort out their claims with the judge and prove their points, and locally manage everything. But that's a long way from the leg hair on your husband there. So I would say EDTA chelation removes heavy metals. These heavy metals from industrialization have gotten into the earth dust, the crust of it, and the winds turn it up all the time. So we're always breathing in, you know, the corrupt chemtrails, which have the aluminum oxide. It's all in your organic vegetables. So when you have fun, you know, thinking you're getting organic, unfortunately, they are probably allowed to get away with saying they dried them off through a desiccation process using glyphosates. That's horrific. And the chemtrails dump the aluminum, strontium, and barium oxides. They're all toxic. So, I think everyone needs to be chelated on a routine basis throughout their life to keep up with this heavy exposure. Just like everyone should filter their water, everyone should probably do some chelation therapy intermittently throughout their lifetime and track their heavy metal burden with a challenge test, and that will improve the microcirculation and benefit the person on so many levels. 

Question
“What is the best protocol for an 87-year-old to detox from 2 COVID shots a few years ago? Blood tye B has had headaches lately. All tests are negative so far. The doctor thinks she may have GCA - Giant Cell. It's my aunt, your former patient in NC, Deanne. She had a temporal bilateral biopsy for GCA, which came back negative, but the doctor thinks it was a false negative. Going to the rheumatologist next month. She probably needs to do a parasite detox as well. Which one do you recommend?”  [0:29:46]

Answer
GCA, Giant Cell Arteritis, is probably what she's referring to. Temporal arteritis occurs when the temporal artery becomes inflamed, and inflammation occurs throughout the body more and more with aging. So, being adequately hydrated, half your weight in pounds as ounces of water every day, taking systemic enzymes like the Vitalzym or Vascuzyme, or ProteoXyme on an empty stomach, three to five times a day, will help with that. The EDTA chelation, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, is negative, and the spike protein is positive. You could track your spike protein by having your doctor do a SARS-CoV-2 semi-quantitative total antibody spike test, which is LabCorp number 164090, and you'll get the antibodies for spike COVID, SARS-CoV-2. And if you’re a normal person, you should have antibodies to spike protein, maybe in the amount of 2000 to 3000 would be a normal amount of circulating antibodies in a sample. People who have above that, and all the ones I've been testing are like 23,000 or 19,000, and we're doing chelation, we're doing the water, the low carb diet, not eating late, grounding, getting good sunshine, exercise, systemic enzymes, they're taking their vitamin D, their vitamin C, and they're getting EDTA chelation therapy, and then we see a nice dramatic drop by the multiple thousands every time we check the repeat antibody levels. So that's an approach that I would do.

Part two of the message. “This is her aunt, your former patient in North Carolina. Deanne. She had a temporal bilateral biopsy for giant cell arteritis, and it came back negative. But the doctor thinks it was a false negative. Going to a rheumatologist next month.” – I would put my patient, if she were my patient now, would talk with her local doctor. I would put her on an all-protein diet for three months. Just be a carnivore for three months with digestive enzymes when she eats. And eat between waking up in the morning, breakfast all the way to 3:00 in the afternoon. And any kind of meats and eggs and fish and pork and chicken and shrimp, crab, lobster, all those wonderful tasting things. Butter it up, dip it in butter, salt it. Exercise and don't eat past 3 o'clock. Take the enzymes. And then I would see if she isn't feeling much better, because that's the most un-inflaming diet, which is the carnivore diet for three months. So that's how I would approach that problem if she were local. 

“She probably needs to do a parasite detox as well. Which one would you recommend?” – I’m not sure that I would agree that she needs a parasite detox. If you can find a functional doctor, I would have her do a complete digestive stool analysis from Doctor's Data in St. Charles, Illinois. Doctor's Data will send you the box, and you send in a sample over three different days of the stool. And then it goes from inflammation markers to blood, white cells, undigested food, short-chain fatty acids, trends of bacteria, viruses, fungi, worms, parasites, all these things in it. And then that would be the way I would approach it. 

Question
“What do you think about the water in machines, like in CVS or Mother’s? I have a 5-gallon bucket where I fill. Is that ok? They say it’s filtered.”  [0:34:41]

Answer
You know, we walk by faith. When you start to pull through a cross-section of two streets, you're believing that the other person on the street is going to slow down, and you start to proceed through that street and hope they're all stopping behind the red light. So, we have to believe that the Mother's Market or CVS has vetted whoever is servicing their water system there to give a good, filtered water product to their patients. I don't like putting it in plastic buckets. I like glass. I like glass. I drink out of my glass here with my wand, and I swirl it with my water here. So I'm always vortexing my water. I'm always putting my wand in my water to structure it. So, you can talk to them. Talk to the manager at CVS or at Mother's and ask them what company they are using. And you can do a study, Better Business Bureau, on that. I mean, when I'm looking at stuff that I would use or recommend to my patients, I go through all this work for whatever I have or whatever clinical research we have on things, so that I can give the best that we can possibly give our patients. But I would “walk by faith, not by sight,” and I would – well, I would walk in faith and just study what you can about it and learn about the vendor who is supplying it. Try to get a glass to put your water in because plastics are really becoming a problem for us as a population, and I would like you to try not use that. So, that's the direction I would go in.

Question
“Hi, Dr. Rita! My 70-year-old mother-in-law has advanced Parkinson’s and has had a UTI for over a month. Two rounds of antibiotics. She is weak, and her muscle tone is poor. Any tips that will help heal her?”  [0:37:03]

Answer
Well, where does she live? I mean, if it's at all possible to see her, I would love to try and help her. But try to find a good functional doctor who will put her on some natural hormones, get her into a physical therapy muscle training program for the whole body for tone. If they can do a high-dose vitamin C drip, put her on probiotics, keep her on a low-carbohydrate fruit sugar diet, and have her not eat late. Make sure she flushes her system by drinking half her weight in pounds as ounces of water every day. Put her on vitamin D. We would do the 10,000 to start with K2, and then we would recheck the labs within a couple of three months to make sure the levels are good. We would use natural hormones to help with and testosterone to help with muscle tone and muscle mass. We would put her on a good antioxidant like Juice Plus, a good multimineral like TLC Multiminerals, and iodine is also very good for urogenital tract issues. And then we would do EDTA chelation with the high-dose vitamin C, which is helpful with Alzheimer's. We have found that reducing the aluminum and whatever dyes, gadolinium, and so forth, results in a measurement of those levels, and we see improvement. That's how I would begin to work up the Parkinsonian issues. 

Now, there's another thing, ozonation of the urine. You could infuse some ozone intra into the bladder, which is just O3 oxygen, and that kills off things very nicely as well. I don't do that here. I do whole body through ozonation of the blood, ultraviolet light of the blood that is ozonated. So we take blood, and then we ozonate it, and then we run it through ultraviolet light filters, and then we put it back into the blood. That's how we do our ozone here, but there are those who just do ozone alone, and they can do it directly into the bladder as well. So there are many approaches. Try to find a good functional doctor who does ozone therapies and see if they can do a direct intra-bladder ozone treatment. Just the oxygen therapy, it's absolutely benign. I have never seen a problem with it in my many decades of being exposed to it. Or get ultraviolet blood oxygenation that we do here, and get some vitamin C drips and do all those healthy, low-carb, carnivore-like things with systemic enzymes, some natural hormones, and very good nutraceuticals to help the metabolism. And then get her to exercise, get her in physical therapy. 

Question 
“The bottle is BPA-free.”  [0:40:49]

Answer 
Well, that's good, but essentially, I would do everything I could to transport things in bottles, if you could. 

Question 
“How about all the other bottles that we put the water in?”  [0:41:07]

Answer
Yeah. I don't use them. I don't use those bottles. And steel is the lining of my coffee cup here.

Question
“My good friend's Mom was helped dramatically after going to Mayo Clinic (that did nothing) with the patented LifeWave phototherapy patches. She shared this tech with her doctors. Light therapy is great!”  [0:41:26]

Answer
Yeah. So, energy dynamics is a valuable thing, and these LifeWave patches – okay. So, this is what it looks like. You'll get it like this, and then you'll open it up, and a lot of people will just put this at the nape of their neck. I don't know if you can see it. I put it on the back of my neck here. Anyway. So the heat from my body, my ultraviolet light, will start heating up that patch, and those crystals will start vibrating. Those crystals are mashed. So you get a whole box of these. I mean, there must be something like – how many are in one of these things? I don't know if there's a – there’s a whole bunch in here. I don't know if you can see how many there are. Maybe 30, 40 of them. Anyway. So, this will last a day or two. I'll probably forget it's on there, and then I'll take it off a week from now. And then you get this information about energy and the crystals that are in there. The X39 patch is a general energy. 

Now, what I do is I get outside usually every morning in the sunrise to get the highest infrared light, near and far red light, but, you know, there's a little bit of the blue lights too, but very little in the morning. So the best is in the morning or at the end of the day. So, that's what an X39 packet that you would buy would look like. And then, I get that light, and then I have my sauna space where I have my infrared lights on. I still need to get my light panel here, so I can have it all day shining on me because I have these fluorescent, icky lights, and that is energizing me. And then what else energizes me is, of course, this, this water wand, like this structured water. And I am doing all these things, and I can really feel the difference. So hopefully that's intriguing and helpful to you. 

Question 
“Hi, I'm new to your channel, and thanks for having this live. That's amazing that you're willing to do this.”  [0:44:53]

Answer
Well, I love God, I love people, His creation, and I love being able to help them, and my father was in food research. He helped set me straight back in the 1950s when I was a little girl about the corruption that exists. And then, when I really understood what it meant to be a Christian, we all have the potential to rebel and sin, and how helpful it is to have the Holy Spirit come into us and to dwell within us, making us a temple. So when I see people, I see them as a temple of God, potentially, and it’s like meeting God, you know, every time I see a patient. That's why I take dead seriously how valuable every life is, and every unborn life is. And I just love doing this. So, to me, I have no compunction. In fact, if anything, I think I should do this twice a week, you know, and try and just be available before I die because I'm 72, I intend to work forever until I die. So, I want to just pass on what I know and my years of experience and help the next generation. So, thank you for your gratitude.

Question 
“Yes – I wear those X39 patches daily.”  [0:46:32]

Answer
Yeah, I have them too. We are energy, people. If you watch that YouTube video, The Electrical Structure of Water by Dr. Gerald Pollack, you should watch that video three times, so we can get into our minds that we are water, that water helps transfer energy from the sun, just like the leaf on a tree takes the light energy and is able to make starch and grow. Photosynthesis. So, look at, you’ve got to get outside, folks. You have to understand energy and how important water is. You just have to. Yeah. So she takes it every day enough for one person for a month. So, 30 are in it. She's telling me 30 comes in that packet there. Yeah. And then they put it on for 12 hours, then they take it off, rest and repair, and put a new one on the next morning. 

Question
“Where do you get the wand?”  [0:48:02]

Answer
I get the wand at, it's called www.Analemma-water.com. Now, I would also go on YouTube and I would put in ‘Analemma water’ and the name of one of the, one of the scientists, I think he's an engineer actually. Dolf Zantinge will get you to some powerful research. I mean, we're talking back to energy, the earth's energy, Tesla, the copper wires, electrical ozonation through electricity. You know how it smells so great after an electrical water storm? Like I'm from the Midwest, and whenever there was a water rain thunderstorm, and you would step outside shortly after, you could smell the ozone from the snap and crack of the electricity through there, and there is so much wonderful cleansing to the oxygen of that. That's why ozone therapies, things like that, are so very valuable. 

Question
“I'm France, and I have atypical hyperplasia. Last year, I was given an injection of progesterone, so I didn't bleed for 1 year, but now I'm bleeding again and hurting daily. I'm 63 but no menopause yet.”  [0:49:49]

Answer
Yeah. When I was a young doctor, I think the oldest woman that I saw who went through menopause was about 61. But now, in America, with our fast lifestyle, I have seen just a tremendous amount of premature menopause. So, make sure – that’ sounds like there's no – I don't think there's such a thing as an injection of progesterone that will be so long lasting, it'll last you for a year. I would use natural progesterone daily, and/or at least two weeks out of every month. That's how I use it, and I have a little menstrual cycle every month. So, even though I'm 72, I have a normal cyclical menstruation because I use natural estradiol and I use progesterone cyclically. I use it the first two weeks of every month, so that by mid-month I'll have a little bit of spotting. Now, you need a doctor who understands this, who can prescribe it for you, and who will monitor you. I always insist on my patients that they take systemic enzymes because young girls are full of enzymes, and that's why they heal so quickly. And I thank the Lord, I heal very quickly, too. I heal more like a teenager than I do a 72-year-old woman. And so, I think that's because of the enzymes as well that I take. Remember, hormones are just general contractors to grow hair, grow elastin, and collagen for your face, and I've not had any, not one cosmetic doctor or dermatologist has touched my body except once. My neighbor, Dr. Saeed, said, " Let me just check you over once. And then she said my skin was beautiful, and that was, I don't know, 10 years ago. But I don't do anything. I don't dye my hair, I don't go to the hairdresser's or anything. What you see is just me with a little bit of lipstick, eyeliner, and mascara, and I use a foundation base. That's all. 
So, that's what I would do. And find a doctor who understands natural functional medicine and get yourself checked. Eat a low-carb diet. Don't eat late at night. I know in Spain, when my sister lived there in Madrid, they would eat dinner at 9 o'clock. It was horrible. 9, 10 o'clock. But anyway. It would be a blessing if you had health, longevity, and normal cycling. Have her check your estradiol too and your thyroid, and your testosterone, and your insulin, and your DHEA, and your lipid profile for triglyceride HDL Count, and your fasting blood sugar, and get those things checked and stay doing weight training, weightlifting. And those are things that'll be very helpful for long life – being a weightlifter, not eating late, trying to stop mid-afternoon if you're over 60, and eating a high-protein, more carnivore-like diet. 

Question
“The progesterone was supposed to last 3 months, but lasted for almost a year. The doctor gave me Microval, but it's making me sick, so I stopped taking it. I have 0 progesterone in my body, and so nothing to oppose the estrogen, based on what the doctor said. He checked all that, and I do have Hashimoto's and I'm bedbound and have severe lymphedema, but I'm not giving up on life. Yes, it's progestin.”  [0:53:14]

Answer
Yeah, I think you're taking what is called a progestin. It's a man's synthetic because there's only one natural progesterone molecule, and they can't patent it, and they can't make money off of it. So, I don't think you're getting progesterone. I think you are getting a synthetic progestin, and that's not good, in my opinion. 

“I have zero progesterone in my body, and so nothing to oppose the estrogen, based on what the doctor said. He checked all that, and I do have Hashimoto’s.” – So you have leaky gut. Be a carnivore for three months, but be a hundred percent, and redo the antibodies for thyroid and see if, in fact, your thyroid antibodies will come down, as long as you don't cheat for three months. It takes about three months to help redo the lining of your whole gut. 

“And I'm bedbound and have severe lymphedema, but I'm not giving up on life. Yes, it's progestin.” – See, you're on synthetics. So, no, you didn't get progesterone. You have to exercise even in bed. Get your physical therapist, even from the bed, to do resistant pushing on your legs, resistant pushing on your arms, and tummy crunches and head lifts, so you get a core. You have to exercise your muscles, holding a pose for about half a minute, and get some tension built up for strength. Yeah, you’ve got to do that. 

Question
“I was wondering your thoughts on the EBOO blood cleansing process.”  [0:55:19]

Answer
EBOO is extracorporeal, out-of-the-body blood oxygenation and ozonation, and that's a process where we put in a line, and we draw your blood out. We have another line on your other arm here. And so, blood is coming out, and then it's going through a circuit and going into the other arm. In that circuit, it goes through a passage that is a filter. So, it filters out things, and then it gets ozonated. We put in ozone, and then it turns bright red. And then it goes, most, at least the ones I've used are souped up to the point that they have like our filter, our ultraviolet light A, B, and C, it goes through that, and then it comes back into your body. So, my thought on that is it's good, and it works, and it's useful. 

Question
“Hi, Dr. Rita. Can a Doctor get a good Image from a CT scan without using contrast? Is the contrast used in a CAT scan unhealthy, and can it be eliminated through the urine by drinking a lot of water?”  [0:56:19]

Answer
Well, the answer is they're going to say, no, it will not be as good. It depends on what area, what organ, what issue they're looking at. But in general, they have to put in contrast to get defined lines of demarcation. 

“Is the contrast used in the CAT scan unhealthy?” – Yeah. The gadolinium or the iodinated chemical, they take iodine, and they put it on this god-awful molecule, and it becomes toxic, and you can have allergic reactions to these. So, yeah, they're not necessarily harmful; Otherwise, they wouldn't be using them in general use. But, yes, you have to build them up, and you have trouble getting rid of them. 

“Can it be eliminated in the urine by drinking a lot of water?” – Well,  it's helped if you drink enough water, but really, you have to do EDTA chelation with the high-dose vitamin C to get rid of this. Or you can do, you know, ozonated extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation, or treatments like that we have.

Question
“Regarding circadian rhythm, will a sleep schedule from 6:30 PM to 2:30 AM, work from 3 AM to 12 PM, and meals around 8 AM and 1 PM be okay?”  [0:57:44]

Answer
Yeah, it should be. I mean, it's not the best, and we do know that shift workers have shorter lifespans, but this is a work schedule that could work. 6:30 in bed, so that you're catching the human growth hormone release at 9 o'clock at night. Yeah, I would say it would work. 

Question
“How can someone lower or manage high Lp(a) cholesterol, especially a 30-year-old woman who may have inherited it genetically? Thank you for all you do, and God bless.”[0:58:20]

Answer
I am one of those Lp(a), and I've had that all my life, and I control it and keep it lower with taking oral vitamin C, and I do chelation with high-dose vitamin C once a month as a minimum. Right now, I'm doing it more often for my tooth here until I get it pulled or treated. There is a YouTube channel called Nick Norwitz, and then you'll see his face come up. He's an MD PhD from Harvard. And in the search section, put ‘Lp(a) and vitamin C,’ and you'll see all the research showing that all these years, there's been no treatment to lower Lp(a). Yes, there is, it's vitamin C. So, hopefully, all that will help, which answers those questions. 

Question 
“I've been living on paracetamol for 8 months, so I am worried what kind of harm that is doing to my body. Thanks again for everything. You're a blessing.”  [0:59:35]

Answer
It would be far better for you to use the systemic enzymes, like the Serrapeptase, the Nattokinase, and the Bromelain-type products.
