Question
“Could you explain what Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOS) is, why it occurs, and how it can be helped?”  [0:04:53]

Answer
Yeah, I know why you're asking that. And I did talk with your son, and I talked to him about his diagnosis, needing to find out his blood type. The lining, again, from the mouth and mucosal surfaces all the way down to your anus is a tube about 40 feet long, and different patches have different jobs, and these jobs are to help take food in, protect us from bacteria, fungus, viruses, toxins, and poisons. And so, God has us secreting saliva that has immunoglobulin A, which is a generalized, universal, very good protective immunoglobulin. As you swallow it down in the esophagus to the stomach, very often we can get injuries to the lining because this membrane is only one-cell thick, one membrane, and I keep on wanting to show you that this membrane here can be injured, and you want to heal it when you go to bed at night. And when you heal these scratches or irritation all the way down through your gastrointestinal system, we've been teaching this here for 25 years, and I've been involved in teaching this probably for 40 years, 35 years, that scratch will break the barrier between the outside world where food is going down and the inside of your body and your immune system. 

We live in a marketing world, and in this marketing world, convenience and place pleasure, we tend to be marketed to eat things over and over again, and they market them to taste better and better and more addictively. They have scientific research teams, that's what my dad was involved with, the scientific team on Armour Food Research, to get people to eat TV dinners in the 1950s, and to hydrogenate the fats so that the rancidity of the oxidation or burning of the fat combining with oxygen with long-term storage of the frozen TV dinners wouldn't give them a bad taste. So, all this research goes into you repetitiously eating food over and over and over, by pattern, by pattern, by pattern. That pattern then generates the ability for you to have a higher likelihood of having that kind of a food-based leak into your body through the lymphatic, through the membrane injuries. And so, your body's immune system will be triggered. So, in Eosinophilia Esophagitis, that is where the esophagus has become inflamed, irritated, and the immune system, in particular the eosinophils of the branch of the blood leukocytes or white blood cells, there are different branches of them, macrophages, mast-cells, lymphocytes, killer cells, and eosinophils. These cells are typically associated with allergies. It could be associated with parasite infections. We are seeing higher and higher eosinophilia percentages on CBCs than I ever saw before 45 years ago, 40, 35 years ago. I'm seeing more and more people triggering their allergic reactions to foods more and more.

So we teach patients that they should find out their blood type because the first usual group of people that get eosinophilic esophagitis are blood type A people, and that's because they don't digest their food as well from childhood on. And with partially digested foods, not enough stomach acids, not enough digestive enzymes, day by day, meal after meal, after tens of hundreds of thousands of meals, with repeat marketed foods, there's going to be an assault on the lining of the esophagus and there'll be heartburn, bloating symptoms, maybe motility issues from inflammation from the foods, and this irritation then usually brings people to their doctors by their 20s or 30s. If they drink alcohol and smoke, it'll accelerate the inflammation and damage, and then eventually they'll wind up getting an endoscopy from the gastroenterologist. And then they'll see this redness or erythema, and they'll take little biopsies, they'll look at it, and then they'll see all the eosinophils. These are what lead to it. 

But it's only just now, and I'm so thankful to God to see that doctors are starting to open up and listen to us old integrative alternative functional doctors who have been holding the line all these decades over and over. No matter what kind of insults or disparaging remarks they make about us having our patients use special diets or having expensive urine, they now realize we were on the right track all the time. And for that, I give glory to God and to all the wonderful doctors who have come before us to tell us to put the patient and their story first, and then for us to go home and do some homework and think about it. Now, we see Dr. Hazan, who's a gastroenterologist up in Ventura, and she's starting to do research now and found, for instance, the association between the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and the lack of Bifidobacteria in the stomach, and that those who didn't get the illness or any significant problem had better gut bacteria. Not that we know everything about gut bacteria, but at least we, doctors, decades ago humbled ourselves to try and look into the poop and get our fingers, so to speak, in the poop and culturing it and studying it and looking at it, and we started to see these families of microbiome. So, we know that helps us with making vitamins and other nutrients and neurotransmitters for our happiness and our well-being. So, the whole microbiome is an entire community of trillions of cells, thousands of families, and phyla. And so, nobody really wanted to address it because it's hard to start a big puzzle. I was just putting a puzzle together with my little 3-year-old grandson, and I got the big puzzle pieces, and I even had trouble with the big pieces. So, you know, trying to look at poop with thousands of phyla is a challenge. 

And I bring that up because we tell our patients to eat a carnivore diet in general because it's the most healing, anti-inflammatory diet there is. Now, a lot of people resist that. But we have found over the decades that for a short time, maybe two to three months at least, if they are a pure carnivore, finding out their blood type, if they're a blood type A, or if they're older, say 50, 55, 60, your digestion is not as good as the average person. So, we have them take digestive enzymes with their meals, not before or shortly after they're eating. We have them take probiotics to try and help that help gut flora. We try to tell them to stop eating at the latest 5 o’clock if they're younger. If they're older, we try to say 4 or 3 o’clock so that the stomach has time to get that digestive enzyme chew up the material, and then that acid will increase, and then the door will open to the duodenum, and the food will go out to the rest of the body. And this process slows down with our age, that's why the older we get, the earlier we should not eat so late. 

So, because of this membrane, and I hate to be redundant, but everything, this is where all diseases, this picture, that's why I've had it here for 25 years in my office, teaching about phospholipids and the membranes 30, 40 years ago. Okay. So, here is this membrane, and it's made of this double layer of phospholipids on the top and bottom; it looks like a sandwich, and these little blobs, round blobs, represent proteins. So, what has protein and fat in it? Well, that's meat, fish, chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, primarily those that are mammalian-based, that have very accessible, easy to digest, and repair the lining of your gut. So, if you eat a primarily carnivorous diet with digestive enzymes, you're going to have a higher rate and quicker healing. If you don't eat late and you eat this carnivore diet, you'll advance your healing and reduce your inflammation faster. Then we give probiotics. We also have that powdered – see, I keep it here because almost all Americans eat so lousy, we all have the same problem. So, we keep this on our desk, like. So, Phospholipids are those little fats hanging down and up, okay. So, I've pushed to get this. For 35 years, I've been pushing for this, and we have it at Ortho Molecular. It's fat, so you have to mix it in warm water. And then we mix it with IgA. This is the Serum Bovine Immunoglobulin, and it's got some aloe in it and some IgG as well. So, we mix this with the fat in a cup of warm water, and then we drink it morning and evening to promote the healing of that injured membrane. And then we start out with a powdered probiotic. You can put all three together in the water, warm water, not hot water. And then what happens is you start healing. You say, I'm healing. I'm not thinking about trying to entertain my mouth or entertain my marketing for pleasure and stuff. I just eat my meat. And then eventually in two to three months, we'll come off of carnivore, and we'll go to eating that with cooked vegetables. Cooked vegetables because raw foods are much harder on the lining of the membrane. And you'll find within two to three months, you're going to find a great degree of healing, so that when a repeat endoscopy is done, usually the redness is diminished and the eosinophil count comes right down. We also recommend they take multivitamins. We recommend that they take the antioxidant Juice Plus. We recommend they take the multi-B vitamins because all A-type lead people don't digest the acids, and therefore they don't make intrinsic factor, therefore they don't make the B vitamins as well, so their metabolism for healing needs to be helped with these things. And then we recommend the vitamin D. So, with the minerals, the B vitamin, the vitamin D, usually we’ll give everyone we know iodine, which is Iodoral 12.5 mg per tablet at least once a day. Then we'll give them the digestive enzymes with their food. Then we will give them systemic enzymes very often, systemic enzymes to assist in bringing down that inflammation on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. And then we give them the powders for about two to three months’ worth of use. And then we see how they are, and then we get them retested, and usually they all get better, every single one of them. So, that’s that. I hope that he's getting better, and let me know. I think he called Uncle John, my husband, and has reordered some of those nutrients. So, he probably sees a benefit from it. But please don't tell him to worry about giving me a call. I'm his aunt, okay? And I'll happily talk to my nephew and tell Matthew to call me, okay? Let me know how he's doing and when he's going to get a repeat endoscopy or not. Okay. All right. 

Question 
“Hi Dr. E., my integrative oncologist knew I couldn't handle heavy aromatase inhibitors for hormone+ breast cancer and wants me to use Myomin, which is more natural. Why isn’t Myomin mentioned more often?”  [0:18:31]

Answer
So, this is a natural enzyme that is associated. It's a plant-type product, Myomin, that assists in breaking down these hormones, preventing them from impacting cell membrane surfaces on your breast tissues, which is fine. Myomin is there, and I believe that's what we also have here, and we will provide that, which is, of course, more natural. Why isn't Myomin mentioned more often? Well, it's probably because Myomin is not patentable because it is a natural product, a natural plant estrogen blocker, and helps push the breakdown of the estrogen products away from the cell membrane since you had an estrogen-positive membrane. But mind you, all breast tissue, all women have estrogen-positive cell membranes because that's how we are managed, that's how our breasts are designed to respond to our cycling hormones. It's the environment that disrupts and mismanages the immune system, and then the breast cell itself can become, you might say, triggered or pushed into an environment where it responds with rapid growth. And then they use the advantage of the estrogen receptor, not causatively, to help try to block the breast cell that has become cancerous from aggressively growing. That's the general thing and why. 
Now, Myomin is also not as powerful as anastrozole, Arimidex, or tamoxifen, and therefore, it’s much more gentle, and you can take it all the time. So, that's probably why they haven't brought that up as well. 

Question
“I know medical medium is controversial, but he released a video saying that the immune system is not in the gut, but in the blood. That the probiotic industry promoted the gut.”  [0:21:11]

Answer
I'm going to say, not so. I mean, even when I was a medical doctor in the anatomy lab, dissecting the real human being, we could see what was back then they used to call them Peyer patches, and these are groups of the immune cells in clumps, and then other groupings of immune cells become lymph nodes, and so forth. So, no, without a doubt, we saw the surrounding of the gut, the largest concentration of clumps of immune cells is in the lining of the gut system. And it makes sense because the world comes to us aggressively through our food, secondarily through breathing. So, I disagree with that. And people want to click, they want to make money, they want to be famous, they want to be yada, yada, yada. And I don't know all things, but I pray, because of my 45 years of experience and I've had so much success in some of the most miraculous scenarios with the Alzheimer turnarounds, cardiovascular disease, and plaque turnarounds, and with polymyalgia rheumatica, and other multiple sclero – I mean I've seen so much clinical improvement with the functional medicine approach that I've been involved in and did that second doctorate in to learn more back in 1999, 2000, and 2001. This DIM, Doctor of Integrative Medicine, is the second doctorate I got¸ and I just know that I have seen this turn around. 

Well, everyone wants to say they know. I'd rather let the patient know the whole gamut, saying I am not the oncologist, I am not the surgeon, I'm not the endocrinologist, I am not the orthopedic, I'm not the gastroenterologist, I'm not the gynecologist. But my clinical experience, looking at a whole system working from head to toe with all humanity, old, young, newborn, delivered babies, I get a feel for what has consistently been a benefit. And then I pray to God, I ask him to lead me into truth. And so, I think there are too many people nitpicking something to try to etch for themselves specialness. Now, we're all special. So, you don't have to etch it. Just do good work, love your patients, be consistent, but don't say that there is no gut immune system lining the gastrointestinal system because it definitely is there. Yes, the immune system is also in the blood. It's born in the bone marrow, but the lymph nodes are very much involved in the whole system. So, everything is interdependent. 

It always turns me back to the Bible when I think, you know, if the eye thinks it's more important than the foot or the hand, then the mouth or the nose for smelling or the ears for hearing, look it, we're all fulfilling a role that I believe God has given us to help one another. So, let's just try to help one another. And I tell you, God will give you enough money as a doctor to keep you fed and your family and a decent lifestyle, instead of this crazy amount of money that doctors are paid. It just is not a good playing zone for why they are a doctor in humility. I think it breeds not good things. So, that's my answer there. 

Question
“13 months postpartum, taking Lexapro, trazodone for anxiety/insomnia, and am hoping for a way to get off these medicines. What would you suggest to get off them? I’m 34 with thyroid nodules and Sjogren’s.”  [0:25:46]

Answer
Yeah, that was one of the ones I saw here. So, I'll talk to that now. What would I do or suggest to get off of them? You're 34, thyroid, and you have Sjogren’s syndrome. First of all, find a good doctor, a good functional doctor. And find out your blood type. That is going to begin too early to help us understand you. Now, here's my experience. I'm not saying it's you necessarily, but A-type blood, when I look at all the postpartum anxiety patients, or even not postpartum, if you can't digest your food well, then you can't get the phospholipids and the proteins, the fats to repair the lining of your cells. You can't digest your food well and extract the minerals that you need, and the fats. And so, you have a less well-made brain, less well-made nerves, less well-made muscles. Everything's less well-made. There are more little tiny holes throughout everywhere. You know, this is how I see my patients. How many holes do you have all throughout your body? And I got to help them get them healthy. And so, as I saw in the picture, I had an IV started here five days ago, and I think, for being 72 years old, it was all black and blue, you know, real purple and dark hot spot there. So, within five days, I'm pretty well dissolving it. It just shows our body knows where to go and to heal. So, I tell my patients with anxiety, depression, all of them, and Dr. Abram Hoffer, the Father of Orthomolecular Medicine, was a psychiatrist. He, along with many other forefathers in the functional medicine world, along with, you know, looking at chemtrails and heavy metal toxins and pollutions and the cardiovascular saturated fat hypothesis of heart disease, all these people have found wonderful healing successes by adding dietary nutritional resuscitation and guidance, maybe along with some prescription antidepressant and medicines that help one get rest. But what it turned out to be over the decades is that doctors just keep refilling this rather than owning you as a person and a patient and saying, why are you still on these things? Are you still in need of all your medications? And so, we just recycle this drug culture. And it's harder to make money to sit here and only see, you know, 6, 8, 10 patients at most in a day and do a good job. I could make a lot more money seeing 40 patients a day, as I used to on active duty. I would see 40 people a day, and I could generate all kinds of money. But I could barely scratch the surface, and I had to zone in so quickly to the hot, worst issue and protect the patient to the standard of care as best as I could in the brief 7 minutes, 8 minutes ahead with them. 

So, here's what I would do. Find out your blood type. If you're an A, you definitely need the minerals and the B vitamins. You need the fats to calm all your nerves. That myelin sheath that lines the MS for Lou Gehrig’s Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, thyroiditis, all these things are injured cell membranes, and you have to calm your immune system down. And so, we would get the vitamin D level up to mood-elevating levels at around 100, not be happy with the 30 to 60 range. We would get you up to 100 probably. We would check your liver enzymes and calcium levels. We would give you digestive enzymes if you're a blood type A. We would help you with your magnesium. In fact, we have magnesium IVs. But, you know, I put magnesium in my immune drip, my 25-gram vitamin C, which is very relaxing to the whole body. And so, we could do a quick jumpstart, filling up your tank with goodies that your immune system does with maybe some IVs. We can pull oxidative stress down with Juice Plus and with the antioxidants in my IV. Iodine is very important for cognitive focus and mood stability. We would do an iodine level, or we would just start giving you iodine. I'm almost at the point 97% of all the people are iodine deficient. Why should I even have you pay the money to do the test to prove that you're iodine-deficient? So, I can't see any harm with our low iodine diet from taking at least 12.5 mg, maybe 25 mg a day for a while, and follow up with your functional doctor on that. So, there are many things we would do. We would look at your hormones. You know, remember, when you get pregnant, your estradiol can go from 30 to 30,000 picograms per deciliter. 30,000. And then within three to four days, it crashes down to the bottom, all the way down to 30. How would you like to do that as a man, you know, and over and over again, having babies? Wow! I mean, having your hormones, which are vitality, mood, cognitive function, and sleep health. The same with the progesterone, you can go from like 4 to 44 on the progesterone, and then it crashes within the first week of having the baby. I think doctors, not to mention thyroid, cortisol, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), all these things really should be looked at by good gynecologists, OBGYNS. So, that's what I give. I give DHEA. I start women on little estradiol at nighttime to help them sleep, and I give them progesterone. And then they do much better with their nutrients and their IV and their Juice Plus and their D. These are the things that I would do. And then I would start taking away these sleep enhancers, and I would try and work with natural calming agents, maybe ashwagandha, melatonin, and trying to do that instead of trazodone and giving you our Clinician's Preference Oil, double dose, four in the morning, four in the evening. These healthy fats help with the membranes. Oh, there are so many, many things. And every time I've done this, the woman has been much better. So, hopefully that helps you.

Question
“Hi, Dr. Ellithorpe, I know you have talked about nicotine helping with long COVID. Have I heard recently about nicotine patches helping avoid getting sick and other benefits? What say you?”  [0:33:42]

Answer
Yeah, I think there's a body of both anecdotal clinical case study reports from licensed medical providers who are using anywhere from 2 mg to about 6 mg of nicotine daily to get to our autonomic system. We have nicotinic receptors. They inhibit ACE-receptor stimulation, and they block spike protein docking on these ACE-receptor sites that are associated with it. So, I like it. Now, I have it as a lozenge here. I get it from Walgreens. There are 4 mg per little tablet in here. And I just stick it under my gum a couple of times a week, usually because someone asked me about it. I've had this probably for six months, and I haven't used up the bottle. There's gum. The gum is okay, but it will give you a burst of nicotine. Some of the effects on the autonomic nervous system, you might sense a flush, or you might get a little increase in your heart rate. Some people notice that. They're very sensitive. So, I think the gum might give you too quick delivery. But I can handle the gum. Of course, I used to be a smoker. for many, many years in my teens and 20s until I had my first child, then I stopped for about 20 years. Then, due to the stress of being a doctor, I went back to smoking. And then I finally got off cigarettes, I would say in my mid-50s. And then I learned about the e-cigarette, and they had the nicotine, and I used a very bland standard dose, not fancy flavors, until I could get back off of the e-cigarette. So, we're all people with our stressors and our weaknesses. And so, I'm familiar with the impact of nicotine, but some people can be very sensitive to it. Then the patch at the drugstore is, I think, it comes as a 7, a 14, and a 21 mg, and you don't need a prescription for this. You can go and get it yourself. Of all of these things, I like the little lozenges that you can stick under your tongue, 4 mg. Just let it sit in the buccal area here, and it will gradually dissolve and very slowly, and it shouldn't have too much impact. 

Now, you have to do many other things. You have to be low-carb. You have to start exercising. You have to drink your good water. It should be filtered water, structured water. You need to do both resistance and aerobic exercise. That's what I'm going to do afterwards. I'm in my gym clothes right now. So when we're done, I'm off to the gym. And then you have to be on some nutrients. I'm definitely always going to support the greatest volume of research for whole body cellular health, I think, is Juice Plus, hands down. There's nothing that approaches it. And I would credit Juice Plus with the entirety of the movement of showing that nutraceuticals can get excellent peer-reviewed, third-party, independent research on controlled and blinded studies that are randomized, and that's the highest gold standard. So, it was Juice Plus that was the big brother that showed us that nutraceuticals can get the attention of doctors. So, there you have it. All right. Plus, you have to have your doctor. So, get a good functional doctor, along with the nicotine, and one who has some knowledge. There are many doctors who talk about this, and many neuroscientists now. So, I think the one who originally promoted this was Dr. Ardis. He's a chiropractor, but he did an excellent job in educating people about this, including me. So hopefully that helps. 

Question
“My 74-year-old brother has been very lethargic. They found he had calcium in his thyroid and had to have one of the four thyroid sections excised. What causes this?”  [0:38:10]

Answer
Well, whenever there is a damaged part of the cell membrane, wherever the cell membrane is damaged, you can see right there, it has to get fixed to this area here. And the way to do that is to be living a simple, uninflamed, non-wild dietary lifestyle, low in carbs, plenty in filtered water, get the sunshine, get the strength training, get the aerobic, have good nighttime hygiene, going to bed lights out, no electronics, and eating a simple diet, the most calming is to stop thyroid inflammation. And so, nodules in the thyroid reflect that there was some inflammation at some point in the thyroid, most likely through the leaky gut that inflamed the body that attacked through molecular mimicry, the surface definition of the thyroid, the immune system mistook it for a foreigner, and inflamed these areas. Then the body moves in with its natural healing to put a capsule of fibrin, put a block around the irritated tissue, and wall it off if it doesn't heal. So, these actions of the inflammatory response of healing are good in tiny areas that are controlled. But when it's too long and too protracted, then the healing is said to be, we can't finish healing, it stays inflamed, and so the walling it off and putting cement-like calcifications around it occurs. There are those who will have an argument, saying these chronic irritations will attract cell-wall-less bacteria like mycoplasma or pneumococcal pneumonia. There are other non-cell wall type chronic low-grade infections that go to these irritated sites, and these bacteria want the calcium to kind of encapsulate their little house where they live, or the plaque on the artery, because we have done testing. I think there were finished studies. I think these were done in the late 90s, and they've been reproduced, where they took the plaque off the coronary artery bypass for blockages of the heart. And prior to that, when they've studied it, they would look for bacteria, culture them. Nothing grew, but fungi or these chronic low-grade mycoplasma, because we've all had community pneumonias, we've all had some chronic viral and even fungal and insidious infections in our lives, and maybe we never truly get rid of them all. Kind of like varicella chickenpox lives in the dorsal spine of the ganglia of our spinal cord. And so, they then said, let's culture this as if it's a fungus or a long tuberculosis-type protracted infection slowly fungating. And in Denmark, they actually were able to see the mycoplasma grow. So, they started treating them like arthritic knees and inflamed blood vessels with doxycycline and tetracycline, and they actually saw a dissolution, a kind of improvement, a diminishment of these calcifications. 

So, who's going to make money on this? There's no one drug. It's just doctors with good minds trying to solve a problem worldwide. We're no better brains here in America. We have wonderful brains, but so do Denmark, the Chinese, and Australians, all over the world, in Africa. It's when we have enough peace and civility that we can sit quietly and ponder a problem like, you know, the cell membrane and the multiple venues that could generate problems to the healing response. And so, yeah, this may make a nodule anywhere in your body. Whether it be the thyroid or other parts of your body, you can develop nodules, and maybe there's some component of this that's infectious. 

Question 
“Target stores carry Nicoderm in their store on the shelf. You can buy it right off the shelf.”  [0:44:15]

Answer
Yeah. Yeah. It's over the counter. And I do hear, I don't know if it's conspiracy theories, but they say that nicotine is going to be taken off availability to the general public and made a prescription in the next year or so. So, I bought quite a few of these. So, there you have it. But I also bought quite a bit of ivermectin, too, and other things. 

Question
“I took a capsule of sea kelp daily (for iodine) for two months, and I developed hives, itchiness on my neck, along with a rash, so I stopped it. Should I try Iodoral?”  [0:45:03]

Answer
I would. God only knows what was in that capsule. See, we don't have the money to have the control and the testing for quality. And unfortunately, where did that kelp come from? Did it come from the waters that in the Japanese and the Chinese sea, there, with all that leakage of radiation from Fukushima? God only knows. Plus, what are the fillers and stuff? I know Dr. David Brownstein, MD. He's a family practice doctor similar to me. He did his focus on iodine research, and his work is voluminous. God bless him for it. So, I'm not going to waste my time studying iodine. His work was so convincing and thorough. He wrote a book called Iodine by David Brownstein. And he has many videos on YouTube where you can save the time to read the book, and you can see his wonderful interviews with people like Dr. Ken Berry and so forth. So, even the YouTube and going on this YouTube digital area, the electronics that I so much despise, I can find the good parts to it. So, look and listen to him. And I would say Iodoral is just fine. Just fine. Start with only one tablet and take it with food daily, and you should do fine on that. 

Question
“I am considering doing Bulkamid for urinary stress incontinence. Do you recommend this surgery? Also, Botox down there for my 86-year-old mother's incontinence? Thanks.”  [0:46:54]

Answer
Well, it's an outpatient surgery where, in the exam room, the doctor will usually use an injection right at the small urethral area where you urinate. So that's the most ventral or top little hole in the girl's anatomy, then the next area opening is the vagina, and the last is the anus. And so, if the hole is paper-thin, I've done this many, many times. As we get older, we don't have our hormones, and so the hole itself gets very thin, like this, the skin lining the urethra. But maybe when you were younger, okay, let’s say when you were younger, you had so much estrogen, the lining of your, the hole there was much thicker. Do you get the drift of what I'm talking about? This thickness right here, the thickness versus the thinness of the lining when you're an older woman or man. So, the lining of the tube gets thin like that. And what happens then is you can't close it with your muscles down there on your pelvic sling. And so, you'll sneeze, or you'll cough, and that bladder will have a little bit of urine through that thick thing and go leak the pee right out onto your panties as you get older as an older woman. So, what do we do? I give estriol with testosterone vaginal cream, and I put that just right at the vaginal entrance every day for a week and then three times a week thereafter, and most women get tremendous health from that. Plus, I put them on natural estradiol to help thicken that lining, so it's more like the sweater, okay, instead of a very, very, very thin post-menopausal lining like that. I do not like injecting anything. I don't like hormones in pellet form injected. They use polyacrylamides. Acrylamides are carcinogenic. And so, if your body can take that polyacrylamide and little bits of it can turn carcinogenic, I just don't believe in putting in, you know, implants in your body for anything. If you have to get a hip replacement, you have to get a hip or a knee replacement. If you have to have a disc surgery, you have to, but I don't think I would do this unless you try some of these natural things first. So, no, I'm not in favor of that surgery. 

Question
“Vaccine injured (2 weeks after) in 1990. What is the remedy for a 36-year-old? Course of action?”  [0:50:30]

Answer
So, in 1990, if you were born in 1990, that was probably your childhood vaccine. I guess your mom told you about that. Course of action – well, it's too long for me to handle right here, but I would just say, you have to find a functional doctor, an integrative medicine doctor. Call around, talk to the front office, and find out how many years they've been doing it. I mean, I had to start somewhere new, too. I was a brand new doctor in 1978. So, we all start somewhere. So, I'm not saying that if they're new at this, you can't see them. But if you can find a doctor who has decades worth and is already familiar with Suzanne Humphries, MD. She wrote the book called Dissolving Illusions. Please read that book. There is a website. It's called www.vacinfo.org, and that's a place in Florida for getting information. We have the website I've used, and I have the Dissolving Illusions, Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ book, Dissolving Illusions. But I have another site that's very good to see. It's called www.childrenshealthdefense.org, and that's with doctor – well, Del Bigtree has the Highwire. He works in close association with Children's Health Defense. That was Dr. Kennedy's. He's not a doctor. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the lawyer who's now our health secretary, that was his original group he worked with, www.childrenshealthdefense.org. Del Bigtree, www.thehighwire.com, these are great sources. And the lawyer, Aaron Siri, Esquire, is a lawyer who has won the defense against the CDC, because they did not do the safety studies that they implied that they had for these things. Now, for treatment, we have to do all these things that we would do for anything: long COVID, vaccine injury, postpartum depression. We look at your physiology, your sex, your blood type, and your digestion. We do all these things to build you up into a stronger, healthier person. 

Question
“Hi, Dr. E., what do you think about kale? It seems people either promote it as a superfood or criticize it for having phthalates and oxalates. Thank you.”  [0:53:53]

Answer
Yes, there are two camps. One is not to take it because it has these food anti-nutrient phytochemicals, and all plants, all raw food does, in various forms, and that is so the plant can fend off being consumed and destroyed by plant plagues, fungi, and insects. Now, the argument is true, and taking these things is a challenge. And I would say to you, most Americans are injured already. So, I'm not a plant pushing doctor because I'm already dealing with injured guts in all my patients in general, from genetic modification, from glyphosation, from heavy metals falling on it from the sky, all kinds of pollutions, fluorinated, chlorinated water, the stress, the electromagnetic energies. The doctor has to have enough time with you to try and help you work this through step by step. He can’t solve it all in one visit or with one pill. So, that's what we would start to do: tell you to try and eat more like a carnivore and only eat cooked vegetables. That way, you greatly reduce any of the damaging anti-nutrient phytochemicals that are contained in all plants. So, I'm a proponent of protein and a cooked vegetable, salted and buttered up, and I eat a humble diet, unless it's a true holiday, and then you have fun, and you eat. But we've been trained and taught and duped into making every stupid day I deserve a treat today through commercials, and we're hurting ourselves. So yeah, plants have in them good antioxidants, plants have in them maybe some benefits of fiber, that's an arguable point. What you need to do is work with your doctor on your blood type, your age, your unique situations, but simply, a carnivore diet is going to probably jump you into a better stage right away than adding in cooked vegetables and living a more modest life as you're studied and evaluated. I would probably evaluate with a complete digestive stool analysis that looks at all the poop and the digestive parts of it, the bacterial components, and the inflammatory markers. So, you need a very good stool study with your blood type to begin to understand what you're dealing with with your patient. 

Question
“Do you have an opinion on the topical use of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for relief of neck pain? Some information I'm reading says it's dangerous, but it works really well.”  [0:57:05]

Answer
Yeah, DMSO is a solvent, and it helps to deliver things through membranes. And so, if you use it topically, you shouldn't use it long term. If you have damaging material on your skin, you're going to draw that toxin into your body too. I don't use it. I have used it in the past, in the 1990s, but I found there are other ways to help with neck pain, like systemic enzymes, hydration, magnesium, certain physical therapy, certain infrared light therapy, and certain pulse electromagnetic frequency therapies. So, I have not needed it. 

Question
“Brother had detached retina, had surgery with gas bubble, then a few days later had aFib, got placed on blood thinners and heart meds. A week later, he got pericarditis, stayed in the hospital 5 days, and got out. And now he has a detached retina again in a different spot due to scarring. The cataract surgery is what started this whole downfall of everything.”  [0:58:11]

Answer
Well, your eyeball is a balloon, kind of like a gel liquid in here, and it keeps the eye expanded. So the membranes are expanded like blowing up your mouth. Now, if you don't drink enough water, if you live a stressful life, oxidative stress, then what's going to happen is you are going to start having breakdown of your membranes, whether it's in your eye or in your lens, and that gets oxidized and turns into a scar, and then you can't see through that. Now, I just thank the good Lord that I don't have cataracts. My optometrist is kind of amazed that I'm 72 and I don't have these age-related changes showing up on my eye exam. So, we thank the Lord. But I've been on Juice Plus for close to 30 years now, at least 27 years. It's the best antioxidant. I drink the water, I take my hormones, my general contractors, I get a good night's sleep, I get up with the sunshine, I put my little toes in the wet grass for 5 minutes, 3 minutes most every morning. I get my little walk with the infrared in the morning. I'm going to be in the gym here in a few minutes, doing my weightlifting three times a week for an hour. So, all these things work together to try to prevent breakdown of any cell membrane or situation in your body. Now, let's preserve everything else you have, so you can help heal. Like I'm healing up from where I had my IV, and I blew it, and I pulled the thing, and the blood got under my skin. But praise the Lord, I'm healing up nicely within 5 days like a younger girl. 

Question
“I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2010. I was taking Synthroid, but this year I requested to be changed to Armour Thyroid. I am confused about Iodine. Should I be taking it now? My current doctor does not like supplements or have any knowledge of them. If I take iodine, I would like to know how much and what kind? Can you recommend a good brand?”  [1:00:31]

Answer
I would say 97.3%, just like what David Brown found, oh my patients are deficient, I was deficient. So my answer is yes. Her current doctor does not like supplements or have any knowledge of them. Well, probably they don't like them because they don't have knowledge. The more you realize you need them, the more you like them. I don't like taking my little bowl of vitamins every morning, but I know I need them to stay well and functional and work as hard as I do in my 70s. So, yeah, Iodoral by Dr. David Brownstein. Ortho Molecular makes i-Throid. So, that's another good product by Ortho Molecular, but you can't buy it unless you're a healthcare provider. They only sell to us healthcare providers. 

Question
“I eat my weight in protein. I also eat a couple of handfuls of spinach every day, raw, and I’ve just read about a concern with oxalates that come with things like spinach¸ and that it shouldn’t be eaten every day. Also, supplementing with vitamin C once you reach 1 gram will convert to oxalates. Is this concerning, and should it be limited?”  [1:02:05]

Answer
Yeah. Anytime you do something marketed over and over and over and over and over, and over, you're going to increase the likelihood of the potential negative effects of that food. So, we teach, you know, I have my meat and broccoli day, I have my chicken and green bean day, I have some salmon and asparagus day, I have some pork tenderloin and my brussels sprouts day, and then I have my omelette, maybe put some spinach in it with some cheese. So, I try to eat a humble menu, and I eat the same menu for the whole day for every meal. But I'm a one-meal-a-day person now. I'm trying to eat between 2 and 4 o'clock every day, and that's all I do. So, all I have to worry about is one meal. But if I ate the same thing, I would eat it at 9:00 or 10:00 or 11:00 or whatever. So, a one-meal day. Yeah. 

“Also, supplementing with vitamin C once you reach 1 gram, it will convert to oxalates.” – yes, theoretically the biochemistry of vitamin C is, yes, it can be metabolized into oxalic acid and oxalate crystals in your body. But look at it, since I was 7 years old and saw my grandfather have unstable angina at rest, he was getting ischemic chest pain, and my father got him to the Great Lakes Academy of Medicine, yeah, and that turned into ACAM, the American College for the Advancement of Medicine. So, my dad, in the 1950s, got my grandfather IV chelation therapy when it was still patented by Abbott. Abbott had the patent on EDTA chelation, and that was given with vitamin C. I'm 72. So, I have 65 years of experience of people getting high-dose vitamin C and heavily, heavily in myself and in thousands upon thousands of patients with tens of thousands of IVs, and I don't see kidney stones. So that's my answer on that. Of course, I tell them to drink a lot of water. 

Question
“Would you recommend Bulkamid for stress incontinence for a 60-year-old woman?”  [1:04:51]

Answer
My answer is no on that.

Question
“Hi Dr. E., after 7 days with a sinus infection, I'm starting a course of azithromycin. Can you tell me the best way to preserve the gut microbiome? Probiotics, yogurt? Thank you!”  [1:04:58]

Answer
We have Probiotic 225. Anytime I go on an antibiotic, I take a powdered packet of this once a day for two weeks. Then I drop down to the capsule. Ortho Molecular makes it as Probiotic 100, and I'll use up that bottle. And then I'll drop it down to my daily dose. I take Probiotics. It's not the 100, just one standard one a day. That's how I would do it. 

Question
“A good friend has a lingering cough. I’ve recommended high doses of Vitamin C and silver. Is there anything you’d add to the list? Thanks in advance!”  [1:05:39]

Answer
Sovereign Silver is something that you can get over the counter. It's called Argentyn silver for physicians. We get a higher concentration of it. Any lingering cough needs to be seen by a doctor and get a chest X-ray, and so forth. So, if he's being managed by his doctor and they're checking with a chest X-ray and all things are otherwise well, I would try the antihistamine effect of quercetin in Seasonal Shield or what is called D-Hist, and that quercetin at 600 mg a day tends to help as well. Iodine helps as a mucolytic agent. N-acetyl cysteine 500 mg twice a day also helps with this cough. Being well-hydrated, low-carb. And lifting the head of the bed up. Have them sleep in a recliner chair, and that tends to help. 

Question
“Is it ok to give your body a break from all supplements for a week or two and then resume?”  [1:06:46]

Answer
Absolutely. Life happens. I've done that, and I don't know if there's any real benefit or if there is any harm. I have been taking my nutrients, and all I can say is, since no one taught me, there wasn't a medical school allopathic medical degree that I could learn about these things, and the dieticians were wrong and my teaching professors were wrong, all I'm telling you is, I now have 45 years of medical experience of the value of these nutraceuticals that I have clinically tested, and I look forward to it becoming more and more popular and more referenceable with research on these products, and hopefully they'll get a seal on them eventually saying, this has been evaluated by the Better Business Bureau or the CDC or HHS and is authorized to have and follows good manufacturing activities for its nutrient content, lack of fillers or heavy metals. 

Question
“What is the best way to detox from the chemtrails (chemicals)? In GA, it’s almost a daily occurrence!”  [1:07:57]

Answer
Everything I've said. Do your EDTA chelation at least monthly or at least quarterly. Try to find a good doctor. www.ACAM.org Find a chelation doctor who can pull these toxins out of you. Use good supplements. I would be on Juice Plus, vitamin D, extra vitamin C orally, and your methylated B complex. I would do that and go from there. 

Question
“I listened to an alternative Canadian medical researcher, Dr. Thomas Janossy. He recommends chelation for people over 50, especially because he says the hypothalamus is almost always calcified by that age, and it isn't protected by the blood-brain barrier, so it is particularly vulnerable to pathogens. Any comment?”  [1:08:37]

Answer
Well, I would start testing people certainly by age 12. I think a child is usually stable enough to do a one-hour IV to get EDTA chelation. If they're 80 pounds or more, that's like a petite woman, an elderly woman, and we treat her as an adult with a standard measurement for heavy metals, and we start treating them earlier than that. That's what I would say. So, I say bravo to that. 

Question
“Do you have someone in your office who will manage my current Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) (post-menopausal) regime? I don't need a new integrative doctor, but the doctor who oversaw this aspect of my health has moved away.”  [1:09:48]

Answer
Yes. Yes, certainly. Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Gonzales, and Dr. Lamb, our two physician assistants, are excellent at this. So, hopefully that'll be a blessing to you.
