Question
“Hi Dr. E., I have heard root canals are not a good choice with regard to whole body wellness. As a Functional Doctor, what is your knowledge/opinion of a tooth replacement with a dental implant regarding whole body wellness? Thank you.”  [0:03:26]

Answer
The general rule is that root canals are trying to retain a dead tooth, a tooth that has had an infection that has gone into the center of the tooth and down each of the roots along the vein artery and nerve track, which have become infected with dental decay. They try to save the tooth by cleaning it out and then putting an antibiotic treatment in there and then filling it, but there are so many cavities in the tooth itself and in the roots that you're not going to get all the bacteria. So the argument is that there really is no successful root canal because you'll never get all the bacteria. So, I have seen people in the past 40-45 years who have had a root canal and have had no problem with it. And then I have seen patients who have had root canals, and they've had a significant whole-body inflammation and problems from it. It is suggested that chronic inflammation is associated with a certain energetic and lymphatic drainage pathway in Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine, and these meridians can be linked with organ systems. So, certain teeth are associated with breast cancer due to dental disease and root canals. Other teeth are associated with cardiovascular disease. This is very likely to be established as true because we have such good testing now, where we can do studies of the plaque or studies of breast tissue, looking for inflammatory fragments, parts of bacteria, and pathogenic invading materials, and polymerase chain reaction counting for these things. So, there seems to be a direct link. Cultures, it doesn't come to my mind in research that there are direct cultures from the breasts or atheromatous plaque, that they'll see some dental bacteria in the cardiovascular damaged areas. But there are compelling studies that are very intriguing. So, I don't recommend root canals. 

Now, do I have one? Have I had one? Yes, I have many, many years ago, back in my 40s. So, I'm in my early 70s now. And, you know, I was between a rock and a hard place, between job transfers from the West Coast to the East Coast. I became tremendously ill from the tooth. And so, I had to have something done. So, if I recall correctly, they actually pulled the tooth, and they gave me a Nosode, which is a type of ayurvedic medicine. The dentist was a biological dentist, where “like cures like”. And so, he takes some of the pathogenic signature and an extreme dilution homeopathically and uses it as an antibacterial/antipathogenic signaling for my immune system, administered at the site of the tooth extraction as opposed to antibiotics, and I did fabulously. So, that was my root canal story. 

The other is, I don't think all doctors 30 years ago had as many of the good tools and resources to do a very good root canal. Maybe there are orthodontists today, endodontists that are far better trained than the general dentists from 40 years ago, 45 years ago when I was starting to practice medicine. So, I'm open to the possibility that you can have some root canals that may be improved. I don't think you should be rushed into it. I think you should talk with your dentist about this and say, compared to the technology, you know, 30-40 years ago, are there studies that can be referred to that implicate with the new techniques, the new drilling and the materials for filling them with some of this material that they're using special light and acrylic therapies, are they getting much better at reducing the post-inflammatory side effects? So, talk about it.

Now, getting to dental implants. This is just taking the whole infected tooth out and then having a titanium or a porcelain-type implant put into the bone, and that would have very low risk for infection because you don't have the actual tooth that harbored the pathogens. You now have just a pure implant, much like a hip replacement socket. And those are not so much post-infection concerns, the concerns with implants of things like that are a reaction to the material in the U metals or the plastics of the hip replacement. So, it's very small compared to a big hip replacement. I honestly don't think that is as bad as having the potential risk of a root canal.  That's with all the patients I've seen, including my own experiences, having one of each, one implant tooth and a root canal. So, I'm going to have to give you a mixed answer on that. That technology has improved quite a bit. So, I don't think the root canals are as bad as when I started practicing medicine 45 years ago. I think it has improved considerably, and there are specialties now in dentistry where all the dentist does is root canals, and they do it extremely well. And then they have the 3D imaging now, where they can look very, very closely at post root canal inflammation along the outline of the tooth. And if they see that, they know whether they're successful or not, and how to proceed forward before it becomes a worse problem. The implants themselves, I think, carry far less risk for infection and inflammation because they have nothing to do with trying to retain dead tissue or a dead tooth in your body. So, that's my thought on that. 

Question 
“How would you treat a female patient with Valley Fever?”  [0:11:49]

Answer
Well, how many people have valley fever, cough, allergies, and we don't even know it? So, the spores and the dust that get all churned up with living in the southwest here put us at risk. It would depend on your age and other comorbidities that you might have. It would depend on your metabolic status. If you're already practicing a healthy lifestyle, the course we would take would be different. But if your blood sugars and you're overweight and you're inactive and you stay up all night on, you know, videos and blue light sparkling at you, then you're going to have a harder time trying to keep all the exposures we get in life, not just valley fever, but all the other things under control. So, in general, if the symptom is just chronic cough, recurring cough and you're not elderly, if they do you know the chest x-ray, CT, or they do a bronchoscopy and a culture of the bronchi and they find aspergillosis or valley fever, the standard of care should handle any healthy young person who's living a low carb diet, rich in protein, well hydrated, not eating late, trying to exercise, going to bed without all the lights on and getting up with the morning sunshine, getting out and getting that sunshine and standing barefoot, getting grounding. These people do quite well. We would emphasize that, whatever the standard of care is with the culture of it, we would recommend high-dose vitamin D to try and get your levels up to about 100 on the nanograms per deciliter. We would ask you to take a good multimineral to get the zinc levels up. I would try to get 25 to 50 mg of multimineral every day. I would also take iodine. Iodine is an expectorant. And so, I would take a 12.5 mg iodine tablet every day for many reasons, not just because it helps you as an expectorant. Lugol solution was used in an oral solution as well, and that would help you to break up the mucin and cough it up. N-acetyl cysteine is known to help with being an expectorant for this. High-dose vitamin C, anywhere from 2 to 8 grams of vitamin C buffered every day, depending on your bowel tolerance, and high-dose vitamin IVs would be very helpful. And then just follow up with your doctor locally. If you're a healthy person, this should be nothing. If you're older and you have other comorbidities, you should be able to do quite well with this kind of approach. Systemic enzymes, anti-inflammatory, iodine, N-acetyl cysteine, zinc, multimineral, and a very good vitamin D level. And then of course getting outside, getting the sunshine, being well hydrated, doing exercise, both weight resistance and aerobic. And one might argue about drinking deuterium-depleted water as well. You would find out about that at www.drinklitewater.com. That's a very special kind of isotope, hydrogen cleaned out or filtered water, which is very, very special. 

Question
“After eating low carb for 5 months, is it normal to not feel so good after eating more carbs?”  [0:16:23]

Answer
Absolutely. You know, we just have too much available to us, far too refined, and the damage of such a surge of insulin, the older we get, the more we kind of clog up our machinery metabolically, so that we can't oscillate between fat burning and carbohydrate burning. We were really intended to only be digesting complex carbohydrates. We were never really meant to be exposed to pastries, sugar, sweets, and confectionery like that. So, it is very damaging what we have available to us. I would say it's as metabolically damaging to the health care system and causally as the drug addiction has been, and I think they both were planned and foisted upon us. So, yes, it is indeed carbs that have to be understood as a very dangerous thing like alcohol. In fact, Dr. Lustig, the pediatric endocrinologist who wrote the book, was the author of a video called Sugar: The Bitter Truth. So it's a lecture; you might think it's boring, but he'll work through that lecture if you stick with it. It's an hour long, and he will show the research, the correlation, and the biochemistry pathways that identify how fructose and glucose are metabolized differently. And every teaspoon of sugar that you have is half a teaspoon of fructose, and that is what he makes the argument as toxic as alcohol. So, think of all the toxic stuff you're giving your children, with cakes and cupcakes and donuts and soda pop and juices and cookies, and on top of that, all the fruits and gummies that you give them. We're really harming our children. 

Question
“How important is the ApoB blood test, and should we be concerned if it is high?”  [0:18:59]

Answer
I have gone through 45 years of practicing medicine, and I never used or fell into the statin cholesterol-lowering drug philosophy by giving statins. I was never afraid of cholesterol or saturated fat. And now, almost 50 years later, the American Heart Association has said cholesterol, saturated fat in particular, is not associated any longer with a risk for heart disease. And they did that in 2015. They put it in their publication in 2015, and saturated fat is no longer considered the cause of heart disease. Now, the same goes for the emphasis on LDL cholesterol. And then you can talk about ApoB, a type of lipoprotein that is associated with carriers for all this cholesterol lipid material through the blood and lipoprotein (a). And what we're finding really is that if you live a healthy lifestyle, and this is what I've done for 45 years, asking my patients to exercise, not eat late, eat a low-carb diet compared to the pimping pressure, social pressure of all the starch, carb, fruit, sugar, late-night eating, snacking. By resisting that and having a good 14 to 16 plus hours of intermittent fasting every day from the time you stop eating your dinner to the time you wake up and have an eventual breaking of the fast breakfast, those of my patients who did that with regular exercise, none of them had heart disease. In fact, reversals of symptoms such as obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in the form of the triglycerides, improved HDLs. So, those are the only two that really matter: triglyceride and HDL. And this is excluding a very rare familial hyperlipidemia genetic disorder. And so, the vast, vast majority of human beings are just harming themselves with accessibility to cheap junk carb foods. 

And so, do we worry about ApoB? Take vitamin C. So, there is a YouTube PhD MD called Nick Norwitz. Nick himself is only 30 years old. He's an MD Harvard graduate with his PhD as well, and he himself has hyperlipidemia, where his cholesterol is like 700, and his LDL cholesterol is 500. And he has two of the genes, the APOE4 genetic snips, for developing Alzheimer's disease. So, he's got a very bad target on his back. So, he has a lot of entertaining YouTubes if you type in Nick Norwitz, MD, PhD. And when you get to his YouTube page, type in ‘vitamin C and heart disease,’ and he'll show you the genetic background and how Vitamin C has always been overlooked as maybe one of the best preventative approaches for pennies a day to prevent the cell membrane damage from any of the sticky lipoprotein (a) proteins or ApoB proteins, and that's where I go. That's why I always try to take 3 to 6 grams of buffered vitamin C every day, along with my lifestyle. It's like I'm going to go out and exercise right after this. I've worked a hard, long day, I've been up since 4:35, my workout, my house cleaning, I do every morning with my studies, my Bible study, my dog walking, my grounding in the wet grass, my drinking, my deuterium-depleted structured water now, along with all my vitamins in the morning. Then getting to work early, setting up my day, setting up my patient charts, studying my patients I'm going to see, working throughout the day without a break, then getting done, getting a time to eat so I can eat between 1:30 and 3:30, and then get ready for the YouTube tonight, and then I'll do my exercise, and believe me, I will crash in bed in my early 70s when I get home. 

So, I really don't think we have a concern with ApoB or lipoprotein (a) or the LDL concern, even if they are elevated, because the focus of our conversation should be, " How late do you eat? Don't eat late. What are you eating? Eat rich, full protein, and very little carbs. And besides not eating late and a richer protein, low-carb diet, exercising, and doing that with weightlifting for an hour three times a week, and walking in the mornings on an empty stomach before you eat. So, I would knock out an easy brisk 20-minute walk every morning. Let that infrared light get to you after you've had your big glass of structured deuterium-depleted water, and then go from there. Yeah. So, no, I don't think I'd worry about it if you're doing all the other things, probably add in some vitamin C. Of course, I do EDTA chelation about once a month or 10 times a year. EDTA chelation is just a plethora of all the wonderful methylated B complex, the high-dose vitamin C, the minerals, the magnesium, the potassium, and calcium, which is very helpful in cardiovascular preventive health. 

Question
“Can gluten-sensitive patients tolerate ancient grains, like einkorn or emmer?”  [0:26:12]

Answer
I don't really know of any studies of people who have used just the ancient grains before they were genetically modified in 1954. I think the Nobel Prize was given to the gentleman who did that because he then had what was called the dwarf wheat stock. It gave more pounds and a higher yield per acre, and so it was supposed to save the world and feed the world, but it just created a bunch of genetically modified crops. And now with glyphosation, even the ancient grains, you have to be sure that they're not using glyphosate on them. Some countries are banning it. I think quite a few European countries are still banning it. But I don't know of any studies that would suggest that the gluten gliadin components genetically in it would be sensitive to people who have that gluten neuropathy. So, I can't give you an answer on that. Sorry about that. Yeah, Einkorn and emmer. I can't give you an answer on that because who's going to pay for a study of einkorn and emmer-type grains and compare them to the common genetically modified glyphosate group? They don't want to draw your attention to that. Now, I'm going to suspect that it'll be better, but I can't verify that because I just avoid grains, and I tend to be closer to a carnivore in my diet. 

Question
“What would you recommend for dry eyes and mouth? The dentist says it is the cause of recent cavities.”  [0:28:10]

Answer
Well, I work very hard on my hygiene at nighttime. I always have water at my bedside, if I do wake up, with a straw in it, and I'll just take a sip out of it, but I try to keep my mouth shut. A lot of people tape their mouths. I'll put a small pillow tucked under my chin. I try to sleep on my back so that I keep my mouth shut. And I lift my head up 15 to 20 degrees. I have an electrically elevated bed. Then, natural hormone replacement therapy, the estradiol, is very helpful in being more moisturized in your cells, all over your body, and with life extension for that reason too. Of course, elevating your head is associated with life extension, and hormone replacement therapy is associated with better, longer cell function and the value of a healthier life. And then, staying well hydrated, the deuterium- depleted water is a brand new area that I've been recently studying, and that's associated with better mitochondrial function in every cell. So, I would say, be on your hormones, drink adequate water, drink filtered water, and get it structured, either with the vortex swirl or I use the Analemma wand, and now I'm using deuterium-depleted water. Exercise is another way to do this, using EDTA chelation therapy for microcirculation to enhance every part of your body, including your salivary glands, taking a very good multimineral, so that you have good mineral and methylated B complex, so your metabolism is supported in the production of saliva and the immunoglobulins that are secreted. If you can't secrete immunoglobulins, then the pathogenic bacteria you might be eating are not attacked by the immunoglobulins in your parotid glands, and those bacteria are not checked right away. And then if you're eating a high-carb diet, you're just feeding the bad invaders into your body and not being hydrated enough to make the immunoglobulin police force to keep them under control. So you see, there's never any one thing. Trying to maybe tape your mouth, put a pillow under to keep your mouth shut at night, those are the things that I do. 

I brush with hydroxyapatite and xylitol in my toothpaste, and the name of my toothpaste is Immunity and Radius. I think it's the brand name, and I get the one with elderberry in it, so it has a little extra antioxidant right in the paste; it looks purple. And so, I'll brush my teeth with that at night and in the morning, and then floss. So, you could also use an Argentyn silver. Take a teaspoon/tablespoon of that after you brush, swish it around your teeth like water, and then just swallow it. That's another way to try to help prevent those cavities. Share that with your dentist, then. Okay. 

Question
“As a female, 70 years old, with urethral and rectal prolapse, is it best to live with the issues and with alternatives other than surgery?”  [0:31:56]

Answer
I think it all depends. Again, I would have to know what you constitutionally look like if you're an active, healthy individual with good weight control overall, good u bedtime hygiene, and morning hygiene. Meaning, you know, you get the sunshine, you're getting out there, doing both weight and aerobic exercises on a routine basis, and you're getting some grounding¸ you're drinking your water that's filtered and deuterium-depleted, using natural hormones to help the integrity of the skin and the elastin collagen both in the pelvic sling to help try and hold the tissues up, taking extra vitamin C so your elastin collagen will stay stronger as you replace cells, so you could actually be healthier and stronger in years to come than to necessarily always be falling apart. And to maybe get some pelvic, it's called Womanology. This is physical therapy for the pelvic floor, where they help with the pelvic floor. By manual exams, they're trying to help identify to you a muscle, and you try to constrict these muscles, so that you can practice that on your self-awareness after you get some therapy with it. Taking good vitamin D, taking a higher protein diet with all the healthy fats that are in eating meat, liver, and chicken with the skin on it, roasted, never deep-fried, and fish, pork, and eggs. All that will help make better protein cell-to-cell connections, and the vitamin C will help with that connection. The minerals, magnesium, zinc, and calcium will help with the elastin and collagen as well. So you see, all these things have to be brought into thought before you make a decision to do surgery or not. And then, even if you're going to do surgery and if you're more debilitated, you still need to try and do as many of these things, even a little bit, all of them to try and help yourself. So, find a good functional doctor and start implementing each one of these multi-system ways to support cell repair and lifestyle. 

Question
“My gyno wants me to get a bone density test, but I know I wouldn’t take any of the medications. Is it worth getting the test? I eat right, exercise, etc.”  [0:34:42]

Answer
Well, I do ask my patients to get a bone density periodically. So, if I get a baseline, when they're new to me, I can see where I'm at and how aggressive I need to be to help them. If they have minimal bone loss, I'll wait maybe three or four years and get another one and see if it has dropped off or if it's stable or if they're building with our hormones, our vitamin D, vitamin K, our multimineral, our weight-bearing, resistance training programs, our healthy lifestyle, our hydration, all these things. And then if I see it slip, then I will periodically do a bone density and adjust maybe the dosing or check the hormone levels in the body for that reason, the vitamin D levels, look at the inflammation markers. All these things and more have to be looked at when you're seeing a good functional doctor. It isn't just that I'm here for a single issue. A really good functional doctor is seeing a whole ecosystem walk into the room. The way you're walking, your dynamic way you hold yourself, how you hop up on the table for exam or not, all these things, along with your diet, your hydration, how good your sleep is, how much you exercise, what you're eating, when you're eating, all this matters in health. So, you just can't have a functional doctor who is not asking these things. Okay. So, yeah, I would probably do the bone density, at least with a functional doctor who really knows what they're doing. 

Question
“I heard surgery may be worse than living with it...bowels protrude but go back in after a few hours after bowel movement. I know this is a very personal question, but I live with this. I do 1,000 mg of vitamin C a day and D3/K2. Thank you.”  [0:36:45]

Answer
Yes, all these things matter, and you need a good functional doctor who is asking you about these things and can help look at this for you. You know, it's just so easy to just say go see a surgeon versus a doctor who will examine you every time they see you. In your case, you should probably get a pelvic exam, and then the doctor would say bear down like you're going to push a bowel movement, and they're going to literally watch your anus to see if there's bulging of the tissue there that protrudes some of the tissue, as well as feeling for the uterus, if it starts to protrude out. So, these are how we grade on the exam, how severe the rectal prolapse and the uterine prolapse are. You know, there are some cases that need surgical relief, but you have to have a good, good functional doctor who will take a look at the whole picture. 

Oh, they said it's stage 2 rectal prolapse, and the uterus is also about 2. Then I'm going to say you probably can work through much of this. I don't know your exact age. But if you consider all our soft tissue is suggested to replace itself, maybe our nerves and bones every 21 years, our soft tissues every 7 years, you could have a better… oh, so 70. So, you could have a healthier body at 77, much more functional than it is now at 70. 
So, how exciting is that? How hopeful is that? It's so exciting with my patients to see these kinds of improvements. 

Question
“Do you recommend N-Acetyl Cysteine for reducing thyroid antibodies? A recent article recommended NAC for bone health as well. Your thoughts?”  [0:39:15]

Answer
Well, if you're a good functional doctor, and you understand your biochemistry, organic chemistry, which most doctors hated that semester, N-acetyl cysteine is a powerful antioxidant, and you have to have a balance between oxidation and your antioxidants. So, it's oxidation redux, you know, gain an electron, lose an electron system here. And so, we are electrochemical beings. So, I could say N-acetyl cysteine is good for your brain. N-acetyl cysteine is good for your vision. N-acetyl cysteine is good for your skin. N-acetyl cysteine is good for your lungs. N-acetyl cysteine is good for anything because it is a powerful antioxidant. So, you can get one study and start a YouTube series and talk about the benefits of N-acetyl cysteine for lung health, and then everyone will think that, but it's really good for everything. So, God has a wonderful economy and ecology, so that he can use one thing for many other systems. So, yes, by reducing the oxidative stress for the bone or reducing the oxidative stress from the inflammation from a thyroid attack, you're always going to get better antibody results, but never isolatedly. This isn't like a missing peg in a puzzle or a link somewhere in some mechanical machine. It's system work, ladies and gentlemen. It's always a system approach. Your entire worldview, your entire philosophy of how you're going to live your life and drink your water, go to bed at a decent time, arise with the sunrise, choose to want to be of service, and have a humble heart, and just live life with a gratefulness, and your meditation or prayer time every day. These are very, very anti-inflammatory/antioxidant ways to live. So, yes, it does both. There are research studies on both those things. So, yes. But I don't use N-acetyl cysteine alone. I have used it isolatedly in the past, but I really think Juice Plus is far superior because it's just from natural foods and 30 different fruits, vegetables, and berries. So, I think nothing has even reached the scientific volume of the value of all the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection of Juice Plus. 

Question
“How big a part does gluten play in raising thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto's)?”  [0:42:15]

Answer
It reduces the inflammation. It's always associated with some lectin. Gluten is a lectin. It is a protein fragment part of a plant that is not foreign to the human body and perceived as an irritant, and that, with chronic exposure, because we're always eating it in, you know, Kentucky fried chicken with the wheat there. It's in our donuts. It's in our bread. It's in our crackers. It's in our pastas. It's in our cereal. So, we're getting this all the time through marketing. We're getting hugely exposed. That scratches the lining of our gastrointestinal system, which creates these little holes, which allow food to leak through, which inflames our body, which makes us tired and ages us quickly. So, yeah, it is associated with thyroid antibodies. So, the first thing I tell any of my autoimmune thyroid patients, and all my autoimmune patients, is to go on a carnivore diet for at least three months and don't cheat. Do that for three months and heal, and then we recheck the auto antibody panel, and we see tremendous improvement, and I see it every single time, and I've been doing this for 30 to 40 years.

Question
“I was wondering if you know much about Akkermansia for the heart? Hearing it’s good to reduce plaque in the arteries. Also, have you heard about Alice Walton opening a holistic medical school and building a hospital to go along with it? It’s going to be in Bentonville, Arkansas. I really struggle with the billionaire Walton family.”  [0:43:49]

Answer
Well, regarding Akkermansia, anytime you take good bacteria, live a healthy lifestyle, reduce the lectin, food allergy exposures, genetic modification, glyphosate, desiccant, pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, heavy metal toxins, and good hydration and low carb and exercise, and take a probiotic, you're healing the lining of your gut. And when you're healing the lining of your gut, your inflammation goes down. And we believe cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory disease of the lining of the blood vessels, the endothelium. The endothelium is injured by a high sugar diet, hurting the lining of the blood vessels, but also the inflammatory result of a bad gut leaking out endotoxins, bacterial end product fragments that inflame us. Those endotoxins hurt the lining of the blood vessels, and then our body tries to heal it. And ultimately, if it's chronic through your lifestyle and diet and poor lifestyle habits, then it starts putting calcium plaque) down to seal it up. So yes, of course, Akkermansia will be a part of it, but it's not the only way. I think you have to have the water, the hydration, a good night's sleep, a good morning sunshine exposure, and drink enough healthy filtered water. Now, I think it should be deuterium-depleted also, and you can look that up at www.drinklitewater.com. And then low carb, not eating late, you know, and just have a good, happy heart, enjoy your family or social group. People who practice their faith live longer. People who are married live longer. All these kinds of things are emotionally anti-inflammatory as well. 

Question
“What do you suggest for lowering high cortisol?”  [0:46:24]

Answer
All these things that I just mentioned – A grateful heart, a good morning protocol to get up with the sunshine and let that infrared come to you, letting your bare feet stand on a patch of wet grass in the morning with the sunrise and all that infrared light go through your skull and your body. Just be out there standing on that wet grass for 3 to 10 minutes. Then take a brisk walk for 20 minutes before you eat any breakfast or break your fast. Be low-carb. I recommend doing a weightlifting protocol on the machines is what I recommend, three times a week for an hour, and every day do your walk. And then have a pet, get married, or serve your church, your family, or some social cause where you're there, you're meaningfully helping other people. Take vitamin D, take systemic enzymes, have a functional doctor who will do your hormones, and possibly offer you natural hormone replacement therapy. The precursor for cortisol is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). All these wonderful things will be helpful. Vitamin D is helpful. Vitamin C is helpful. Yeah, because inflammation causes signals for stress. The cortisol will squirt out with stress, so if you can reduce inflammation with extra vitamin C. We don't make it. Human beings don't make it. So, all of us are really somewhat subclinically deficient in it. So please try to take a couple of grams a day, everyone, I would suggest.

Question
“I saw something about hospitals re-labeling vaccines as biogenic, biologic, and giving patients the vax when they have surgery. My dad has to have surgery. Should I type up a letter making it clear not to give him the vax? Or would this have to be authorized by his primary? Do you know anything about this claim? Any advice?”  [0:48:20]

Answer
I don't. I think you can talk to the surgeon, whoever is doing this, and he will do his surgery, and u monitor him in the hospital. Just make clear what you do, and what you do not want, just like you would say I don't want resuscitation or I do want full resuscitation. He could sign a legal document that gives medical authority to the next of kin and have an agreement between that person and him of what he will tolerate and won't tolerate. But the Public Health Services Act regulates all vaccines as biologics. They're all called biologics, and they're supposed to have a biological license application (BLA for any changes or additions that they're going to do to each vaccine. So, yeah, they're called biologics, and yes, you can talk with the surgeon and just be clear about it. You do not want any of these vaccinations at all. And some surgeons have this as a routine order for the intensive care, should there ever be a need for any intensive care at all after surgery. And so, if it's the hospital routine, you're going to have to ask, " Is there any hospital routine order or ICU order for these kinds of vaccinations, and address those two, but that's what I would do. 

Question
“What does stage 3 kidney disease mean? Where would my lab work reflect this?”  [0:50:26]

Answer
Well, you get a complete comprehensive chemistry panel, and there you'll see your creatinine. And usually when I was a young doctor in the 1970s, with all the healthy military men back in the 70s who didn't have access to a lot of junk food back then, a normal creatinine kidney function was 1.7 or lower, 1.7 or lower. And over the past 45 years, they've dropped that to 1.6, then 1.5, then 1.4, then 1.3, 1.2, then 1.1, and the lowest I've seen it is 0.9. I mean, this is ridiculous. Either doctors understand physiology, or they don't, or they're just lowering it so they get more referrals for it. So, you know, I don't get worried about it very often now with the new dropping creatinine levels for normal, and doctors really not knowing their physiology. They're just protocol reference range readers, and anybody can read a range and say I'm in range or I'm out of range. Only the doctor who is a problem solver with critical thinking and experience can look up things like these old textbooks, look at the new science and technology. Dr. Lynn did all the research on EDTA chelation therapy, and he was a nephrologist, a kidney specialist, and in the 1990s and the early 2000s, all the way to like 2012. He did multiple studies on chronic kidney disease of all various stages and creatinine levels, and he was able to help all who did EDTA chelation therapy by improving the glomerular capillaries. Because chelation therapy improves blood flow, nitric oxide production, and the diameter of the capillaries, it removes heavy metal oxidative stress. 

So, I don't think a lot of people who think they're told they have chronic kidney disease really have it, but stage 3 is considered mild to moderate, a slowing of the filtering of the blood and filtering out, and making urine the amount of creatinine that leaks through protein that leaks through means that the little tiny blood vessels are having leaks between the cells and a healthy lifestyle and having adequate vitamin C. EDTA chelation probably is helping also because it gives vitamin C with every chelation you do, but all these things matter. The minerals we put in chelation are the B vitamins methylated that we put in. All of this helps all the time. I see my creatinine levels improve, so people will do it. Now, if a patient comes to me with a creatinine level that's like a 2.5 or higher, then I start lowering my dose of EDTA chelation therapy. Depending on the rough calculation, we calculate how much EDTA) Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for chelation to help the blood flow. And so, the only thing I might do is use half that dose and do that for a while until I get labs that show the creatine and the glomerular filtration rate improving, which is the estimated amounts. Usually, you would have to do an actual 24-hour urine to know what's really going on. But a Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), usually it has a little € in front of it, is estimated, because you don't do this on a comprehensive chemistry, no one's collecting urine. So, it's an estimation, and you always have to be skeptical when you see estimations, but 30 to 59 is what you have at a stage 3. So, I wouldn't worry about that much. Find a good functional doctor who could do chelation therapy, promote healthy lifestyles, and check that. 

Question
“What is your protocol for post-nasal drip, please? Thank you.”  [0:54:48]

Answer
Well, good posture. You know, the older you get, the more your head starts to lean forward. You have to work hard on your upper body muscle exercise. You have to sleep with your head elevated 15 to 20 degrees. You have to drink half your weight in pounds as ounces every day. Take a good natural antihistamine like quercetin, which also functions as an anti-cancer. Take systemic enzymes that help as an anti-inflammatory. Stop eating at around 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock in the day. A rich protein so that you can have good elastin and collagen. Use your natural hormones to help make good tissue and elastin collagen in you. The rich protein diet will give you the lysine, proline, and isoleucine that help make the muscle tissues and cartilage, and all that in a much better sense. The vitamin C will be a co-actor in it. So, everything is repetitious because your eye is made of the same thing as your heart, essentially as your brain and your skin, and it all has the same needs for the same hormones and the same signals and so forth. So, that's what I would do. I would get Argentyn nasal spray. It's just silver that you're squirting up in a nano particulate manner, and rinse your nose every night with that, and then see if that doesn't help you. And work on your posture. Try to get a reminder to help you sit upright if you could, so you're not getting your head backwards, and your drip won't be hitting your larynx as much. And that's basically our protocol. Vitamin D, taking a good amount of vitamin D, would be part of that. But a lot of quercetin, ours is called Seasonal Shield. It's made by Ortho Molecular. I've been using it for 35-40 years. 

Question
“Dr. E., if you had a 65-year-old male patient who follows your dietary/training regimen, comes to you with a consistent BP of roughly 105/60, pulse in mid-50s, total cholesterol around 230, triglycerides in the 40s, HDL 69, LDL 125, would you have concerns? Could the BP have anything to do with cold intolerance in the hands and fingers? Thank you.”  [0:57:06]

Answer
No. Could the blood pressure have anything to do with cold intolerance in the hands and fingers? I would say likely not. I think that's something else, and that would have to be the time sitting with the doctor and looking at you and getting your thyroid, looking for thyroid antibodies, maybe considering something like chelation for you as well. But those are excellent numbers. I would be very proud of you for that report. 

Question
"Hormones. I have seen this question before, but I still have questions. I had breast cancer and was diagnosed with estrogen-positive/progesterone-negative receptors. Also, genetic results. So, I have been on letrozole for nearly 4 years so far. I have a few complications, except that I likely have little estrogen in my body. What does a woman do to help with the loss of estrogen?”  [0:58:01]

Answer
Well, there's a whole book written called Estrogen Matters by Dr. Blumberg. And then he wrote a scientific article with a retrospective meta-analysis of all the women who had breast cancer and used natural hormone replacement therapy. Anecdotally, I've had countless, I can't even count the number of patients I've had, so many that have had breast cancer and eventually resumed natural hormone replacement therapy. And I've had many pre-menopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer, who are on their own hormone, and they can't necessarily get it all blocked with the tamoxifen or the aromatase inhibitors like letrozole, anastrozole, and Femara, these kinds of things. So, there are two kinds. One is a receptor blocker on the tissue, the cell itself. That would be like tamoxifen. And then the production of estradiol would be an aromatase inhibitor, and that's like your letrozole that you're on or an anastrozole. I believe I'm correct on that. I could be wrong. 

But the question is, what does a woman do to help with the loss of estrogen? Well, all the healthy lifestyles we've talked about here. I won't repeat them. But you want to try and have the estrogen receptors filled with things that are estrogen mimickers, and that's things like soy, dong quai, black cohosh. So, these natural estrogen-type herbals, you can take as tea or pills, and that tends to help with it, not completely. There are probably as many articles that say it’s really relatively safe to use estrogen vaginally. Systemic estrogens, they're still arguing about this back and forth. The answer is not clear. Many many decades later, my personal experience is that women who want to accept responsibility for their own health for quality of life and feel that they have done enough due diligence in studying, reading books like Estrogen Matters, looking at scientific articles on Hormone Replacement Therapy After Breast Cancer. It is time. That's the title of Dr. Blumberg's. Look, all the way back to 1988, I think, for hormone replacement. And it really doesn't show any increased mortality or recurrence. So, it's a black box, nobody wants to look into it, no one's going to make money really from doing a study like that, and it's easier to prescribe drugs and just say no to a hormone replacement than to really study it out. What I've done is I've given the women in my practice the best information I can to make an informed consent. And I've asked them to talk with their doctor, their oncologist, and come to a conclusion, and then I monitor it very closely, and we do tumor markers and such. If we see them rise, then we stop any therapies and go from there. 

We don't believe hormones are causative for cancer. We believe basically cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease that takes many years of the higher metabolic stress of the carbohydrate excess that creates higher insulin levels to cause this dysfunction in cell repair and cell energy maintenance.
