YouTube Livestream Q&A Transcript, September 22, 2026

Question
“Hi Dr. E, I cut my pinky finger pretty badly yesterday and had to go to the ER to get stitches. I notice I can barely move the finger. Holding the base of the finger, I can wiggle the tip about 1 mm. Is limited movement normal after a laceration? How can I speed up the recovery?”  [0:03:23]

Answer
Well, there's going to be swelling, and that swelling is going to limit your ability to crunch your finger. You probably have bandages on it too. But I don't know the extent, or what you cut it on, or what they saw. If there's a tendon that's been lacerated and you can't bring your finger down and lift it up like that, you have to go back and have that evaluated. That's just something I can't answer over something like this. That requires a physical exam and monitoring. If they told you no tendons or nerves had been severed, depending on where the cut is, the nerves run on the inside and laterally. They don't run on the pulp on the top and the palm side. So, the palm side and the dorsal side here are not where the nerves run. They run in between, in the web area or the lateral side. So, that's usually the safer area and less traumatized, but you'll have to go to a doctor who can actually see that to get further answers on that. 

Question
“How much Turmeric Curcumin with BioPerine is good for an adult and what are the advantages to this supplement?” [0:05:13]

Answer
BioPerine is a supportive herbal biochemical that helps with absorption and anti-inflammatory action. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory action. The exact dosing depends on the paper. There are many papers on this. I don't have it right on the top of my head. I would have to look it up, and I'm not going to do that right here right now what the milligram dosage is of turmeric. We have a product called TLC DeFlame, and I believe there's 1000 mg of curcumin or turmeric in it from a high-quality extract, but you could have 1000 mg of curcumin/turmeric, and it's from a poor quality source. So the source and how it's grown and the performance of the source material is as important as the milligrams claimed to be in the product. So, you can find all kinds of labels that will promise all kinds of milligrams, but the quality and performance are what make the difference. So, I just can't give you that right off the top of my head. I don't recall what the milligram dose is. And then the BioPerine is able to help enhance absorption. Hopefully that's just a bit helpful to you. 

The other product that we have is Turiva, T-U-R-I-V-A, and that's made by, I believe, Ortho Molecular, a company that has very, very good ethical standards and sources the correct product, a quality product. So, Turiva, normally, it's one capsule once or twice a day for inflammation. And then, of course, the outcome is the biggest determinant. If you have an elevated sed rate or you have elevated hs-CRP and you go to your doctor and, along with lifestyle advice, healthy living, water, hydration, motion, good sleep, you still have elevated numbers, then you have to get the blood retested and see if adding that nutraceutical product has made a statistical drop or improvement in the number that you're following. So, it's called practicing clinical medicine. We're not identical. So, what may actually work for one person at a certain dose may need a lesser or a higher dose or a more frequent dosing. So, you’ve got to work with your doctor and be patient on these things because we are not really supported by the pharmaceutical industry with much at all support in nutraceutical training, evaluation, management, and so forth. So, work with your doctor on that. 

Question
“Everywhere I’ve checked is out of Vitalzym Xe until October. Do you know why?”  [0:09:23]

Answer
Yeah, the company went through some leadership and ownership, I think, changes in Japan. And during that transition time, there was a slowing of production and purchasing of raw material. And it will be back online. We are starting now at this point in time to get some of our back orders refilled. I was told all our back orders have been filled as of a day ago. So, I believe it's a good change. It's a good direction that they're going in. But we have Vascuzyme Ortho Molecular, another high-quality company with a high moral foundation for work ethics and sourcing, and then they private-label it for me to be called Systemic Enzymes. So, you could use that in the interim, and it should be nearly equivalent. I am probably going to say Vitalzym is the most popular pharmaceutical. Actually, it's a pharmaceutical in Japan. So, it's a hefty price and high-quality production to achieve making the Vitalzym Xe in Japan. 

Question
“Are you aware of Dr. E of Moringa? It helps me with arthritis.”  [0:11:10]

Answer
I've heard the name, and what is that about? Yes, I've heard of it. I know I was in a discussion, but I'm not quite sure what it was for. Moringa. You'll have to give me a few pieces of information to help trigger my old brain. But yes, I have heard of it. But I can't speak to it enough to give any further advice. I can look it up. I can write it down. That's what I do because we're all learning this together. Moringa. 

Question
“I caught a virus and have had a lot of congestion and a runny nose for days. Is it better to dry it up? And if so, what to use?”  [0:12:15]

Answer
You know, I'm in favor of having cloth – I have handkerchiefs. These are linen handkerchiefs, and I have about 20 of them. And I change them out every couple of days. And I believe in just blowing your nose and letting that discharge come out rather than trying to dry it up. I believe in squirting my nose with Argentyn silver, which acts as an antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial. I believe in using high-dose vitamin D for 5 days at 50,000 IU. That's 50,000 IU once a day for 5 days during the initial onset of a viral illness. I believe in a high-dose vitamin C intravenous immune drip, which acts as an antiviral. Take oral vitamin C to bowel tolerance because too much oral vitamin C can cause diarrhea. And then I do use the natural antihistamine called Seasonal Shield, which is a rich combination largely of quercetin that has an antihistamine effect. When it's really bad, or I'm just having bad congestion, achiness, or green nasal discharge, or a low-grade temperature, I will use an over-the-counter loratadine, which is Claritin without the decongestant. I don't use the decongestant. It's a cardiac stimulant/vasoconstrictor. So, I will use that. But most of the time I can get away with just keeping a cloth handkerchief in my pocket, blowing my nose frequently, washing my hands frequently, and just letting that discharge naturally occur. And I like to always keep the head of my bed at around 15 degrees elevation so I can always promote drainage and I don't get back up. So, that helps as well. 

Question
“What can the COVID shot do to your brain or any other part of the body?”  [0:14:52]

Answer
Well, the mRNA is in the injection in a micellized form, meaning it's like in a little envelope of phospholipids that look like normal fats. So, the body then, when that gets into the injection site, that is easily absorbed onto the phospholipids of the local cells there, which then can possibly take it up and have it read by ribosomes in the cell matrix of the protein-producing machine work, and this can generate the data for producing spike protein, and that’s what it was coded for, we were understood to be told. That also can get feedback possible into incorporation into the DNA. I think that has finally been established that this is now being found incorporated into the DNA so that there is a perpetual production of spike protein. That generates a chronic inflammatory generation of spike protein, and it was hoped to generate an immune response from your white blood cells to make antibodies to it. This constant irritation/inflammation can impact any cell membrane through your body, from your brain to your toe. So, that chronic inflammation is, in general, what we believe is the common ground upon which all injury to human health occurs. It's the low-grade fire, the low-grade cell membrane injury, the rumbling, smoking embers and fires of cell dysfunction due to the inflammation. So, this is why we were concerned when they proposed this in the first place. This is not a technology that has been understood to be generally safe. The prior technology was always taking a fragment of the offensive pathogen or an attenuated pathogen vaccine, meaning it would be less virulent or have less potential to multiply and grow a pathogen, or just a fragment of it. But they mix it with adjuvants, which are stimulants, like aluminum or mercury, and these then create a very intense allergic response from your white blood cells that are circulating all the time doing surveillance work. That, in the past, had traditional and safety-based logical parameters because it wasn't intended, nor could it be picked up by the mechanisms that copy the messenger RNA and read out the protein production from it. Instead, it only made antibodies to identify these fragments or attenuated pathogen signals, and that's how they worked in the past. This is a totally different approach where we're literally training your DNA or your ribosomes to generate the production of a protein that is foreign to your body, and we get concerned now that it appears it is getting intercalated into the DNA. I've seen papers on that. I can't quote you the exact paper, but if we do an artificial intelligence search for studies on intercalation of the mRNA from Pfizer or Moderna, or I think even- I'm not sure about Johnson & Johnson- but potential to get into the DNA. I think you'll see studies around the world that have now established a link. I think that's very possibly been established now, but I'm not 100% sure. So, with that chronic inflammation then, that is going to create microdamage to your brain, to your heart, to your cornea, everywhere in your body bit by bit, like smoking over time, and that's what we think is happening. 

Question 
“Hi Dr. E, I was wondering your thoughts on stevia? And with all these electrolytes on the market, is it better to just drink lemon/limes and salt?”  [0:20:35]

Answer
Well, stevia is made from the stevia plant. It's an extract from the plant leaf, and it is generally considered to be benign. There is research that shows that the stevia molecule itself responsible for the sweet taste has an impact on your kidneys, a specific gene that triggers an enzyme that stops cortisol in your body. It acts on your kidneys in excess, because if you have steroids all the time in your body, we have them in little squirts in our body. But if you have chronic stress and this steroid, cortisol, and it isn't broken down, it's going to allow for sodium loss and water loss. And I don't know if you're sensitive to it; not everyone is, but stevia is usually or can be associated with water loss and sodium loss. So, you pee more often on stevia. I think there is another action associated with it; I can't remember quite off the bat. 

So, not everything is roses and music with stevia. It is a very powerful sweetener. It is plant-based. So, in that sense, it's natural. But there are some people sensitive to its ability to inhibit the breakdown of cortisol in the kidney area, which allows for them to have too much sodium and water loss. Hence, many times you'll see stevia promoted with electrolytes, like sodium, because they know it's going to happen. So, as we look at research on monk fruit or allulose, those are ones that have to be determined. I haven't found anything of concern about them yet. I could do more studies on them. But certainly the ones like aspartame and sucralose- I think it used to be called Splenda; NutraSweet is aspartame- these are the artificial ones and do have some concerning risks with them that are much more numerous. But I am trying to get people to stop chasing artificial sweetener taste- just tasting it, even artificially sweetened soda pops, carbonated beverages- because you're going to get the cephalic phase. You will get an insulin spike from that soda. Even though there isn't any sugar in it, there will be some spike; they've documented it. So, what do I think about it? I think it's not bad, but why are we chasing after the sweet taste?

Question
“For detoxing from gadolinium, would you recommend IV chelation with vitamin C or glutathione? I seem to react to too much glutathione.”  [0:24:51]

Answer
Well, I would go for the vitamin C because it does much, much more than just be a part of – you know, glutathione is regenerated by vitamin C. So, your own production of glutathione is somewhat dependent on there being enough vitamin C in your system. And I think there's research growing that all of us tend to be just subclinically in a state of scurvy. There are those arguing now that all heart diseases and endothelial lining of your blood vessels- that membrane is really nearly localized to scurvy damage because, you know, lack of vitamin C, you get your gums bleed and your teeth fall out, you bruise easily, and become anemic, and you die from it. So, we have very little vitamin C from our lousy food system. So, I take at least 2500 mg of oral Buffered Vitamin C. I use the Ortho Molecular Buffered Vitamin C, so that I don't bruise and I heal quicker. I have such. It enhances my immune system. It regenerates my glutathione, my vitamin E. All these things are helped with it. So, I would recommend EDTA chelation with vitamin C, and I don't think you need to supplement for glutathione. You could test for it. You could ask your doctor to do a serum glutathione test or get a SpectraCell. This is more sensitive and more universal. It'll actually tell you your vitamin C level, vitamin E level, vitamin A, and so many other things, so it's very valuable. So, that's how I would look at it. And I try to get my IV every month, high-dose vitamin C with chelation. So, I'm pulling out heavy metal toxins. Gadolinium is always reduced with chelation. I don't care what anyone says. I have the evidence and the patients over the past 40-some years with chelation therapy. I see the mercury go down. They claim chelation does reduce mercury. I see the gadolinium come down. All of it. Yes, it has a preference for lead, number one, but it will definitely reduce these other ones very clearly. I've seen it decade after decade. And it has such a low side effect profile, basically. So, it’s safe. We can give it to toddlers who have ingested lead-based paints that could actually kill them. So, yeah, I would use the safest protocol. 

Question
“Is it safe to use 70% Isopropyl alcohol wipes for underarms as deodorant or other body areas for cleaning the body?”  [0:28:30]

Answer
You know, what I would use is hydrogen peroxide. I would use hydrogen peroxide, not isopropyl alcohol. And that's what I've actually done for many, many years. But actually, I use Argentyn spray as an antibacterial, antifungal under my arms. So, that's what I would use. 

Question
“Is there a protocol to use before flying to stay healthy, like spraying your nose with Argentyn silver?”  [0:29:14]

Answer
There's no protocol, folks. But over the years, I'm often asked this over and over again. I believe you take some Argentyn silver nasal spray with you, or drops. You can spray your throat. You could spray your eyes if they're watering, you know, people sneezing behind you. You can squirt it up your nose and rinse your sinuses. I've actually held the sprayer in front of my face and squirted it. Then I take a deep breath, so I get the mist into my lungs. I take extra vitamin D. If I ever am on an airplane flight, I'll take as much as 50,000 IU the day before a trip, the day of the trip, while flying, and the day after. And then wherever I'm at, I'm just on my standard dose of vitamin D3 with K2. And then before I get back on the plane, you know, however many days later, I'll take 50,000 the day before I get back on the plane, the day of the plane trip, and the day after. So, I spike my vitamin D exposures to cover the day before, the day of, and the day after. I never eat on the plane. I don't care what they offer to eat. Now, I've never flown, you know, to Australia or Europe or anywhere. I don't go anywhere. I just work. Praise God. But I suppose that would be a challenge not to eat something. If you have to eat, I would just eat meat, fish, chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, or hard cheeses, like Swiss or cottage cheese. Why? Because getting your blood sugar high is immunosuppressive and spikes your insulin. You dry out in the airplane too. It is not humidified very well at all. So, you have to drink and drink. And drink and drink and go to the bathroom, get up, move so you don't get blood clots, especially as you get older. And you need to take systemic enzymes so you stay uninflamed. So, if I take 5 Vitalzym XE every morning on an empty stomach for my life maintenance at 73 years old, I'm going to take five twice a day if I'm on the airplane. Okay. So I also take extra oral vitamin C. I'll take more Buffered Vitamin C at the time. If I'm using 2.5 grams now, I'll probably use 2.5 grams in the morning and evening. And then the other thing is I'll always take extra zinc, which is in my TLC Multi-Minerals, and that's what I would use. That's the general trend. And I don't eat when I'm on a flight. 

Question
“Why exactly are statins not good?”  [0:32:33]

Answer
Well, it's a molecule that is generated to block an enzymatic process in your body that makes cholesterol. And in doing so, there are upstream blockages that occur as well, such as making coenzyme Q10, and you know, God knows what other impact it might have. So, it is not a small thing to tell your body you're not going to have as much CoQ10, which is a powerful co-factor in the mitochondrial energy production of the respiratory chain and Krebs Cycle; you're going to knock one of those out- it doesn't make sense. Every membrane you have is made of, needs, and is composed of cholesterol. So, why are we calling cholesterol the boogeyman? Oh, probably because a lot of the literature was hidden about the risks of cancer and cell membrane injury, memory loss, muscle damage, and on it goes with usage. When you look at the actual cardiovascular disease prevention, and you look at a large body of literature, it now indicates that those people who are on it for years, decades, they may accumulate maybe an extra seven days of life on the planet for the minimal anti-inflammatory impact it may have and lowering cholesterol. So, you have to ask what really prevents heart disease and vascular disease, and that is a healthy lifestyle, which is eating a very low-carb diet because it is the sugar and the carbohydrates, starch, fruit sugars, drinkable sugars like soda pop that raise up our sugar for too long, too many spikes during the day. That high blizzard sugared snowstorm impacts the lining of our blood vessels, damages them, creates microtrauma, and then you have to repair it. The membrane is made of cholesterol, and so it will start to collect there. So, it's like blaming firefighters for showing up where a fire is, when the real arsonist is the person drinking the soda pop and the person eating the cookies and the bread and the potato chips and the cheese pops, and the cake and the late-night sodas and on and on like that. Lack of exercise, which would help your muscle mass burn down the carbohydrates you eat. Lack of water hydration, lack of a good night's sleep. In fact, the majority of people who were having a heart attack when I was an ER doctor had normal total cholesterol and LDLs. So, if most people who get a heart check have normal cholesterol, normal LDLs, and statins really don't add years of life. Rather, it's down to days or weeks extending your life expectancy, and yet you put in money buying it for 10, 20, 30 years; then you have to ask the question: why are we on them? 

Now, there are certain PCSK9 inhibitors. There are different approaches now to lower LDL; they're called ezetimibe and Repatha injections. These have a different modality. They need to be looked at. They have less risk for some of the things I just shared with you, which you can talk with your cardiologist and so forth. It seems that there is some publication out there supporting the idea that if you've had a heart attack, a documented heart attack, there may be some benefit to a cholesterol-lowering medication, a statin, in addition to the other standard protocol, which is usually a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor. So, that's what I have to say about what exactly, or why exactly, statins are not good. 

Question
“What is the difference between Argentyn silver, colloidal silver, and nano? We make our own at home. We are not aware of the Argentyn silver.”  []

Answer
Yeah. Homemade colloidal silver is clumpy. Unless you have machine technology to make it in the nano-particulate, millions of a particle, billions rather, part per million. I think it's 23 parts per billion, yeah. So, it's diffused. It's uniformly distributed throughout the carrying liquid, whereas colloidal is in clumps. It's still good. It is still effective as an antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial, but there's better penetration and spread with the other one. 

Question
“We have a machine."   [0:38:51]

Answer
Okay, but the machine is not the technology for making the nano particulate matter. So, I'm not tearing down colloidal silver at all. I think Argentyn makes a product now that you can get over the counter. We, physicians, can get the Argentyn silver, which is much more concentrated. You can get a 50% strength over the counter called Sovereign Silver and use it that way. 

Question
“My right foot pad under my big toe swells up and then goes down. The type of shoes does not matter; it goes down during the day, more prevalent in the morning. There is no pain. What could be the cause of this? My GP is clueless.”  [0:39:35]

Answer
It sounds like you have a bursal cyst, which, during the day, when you're in the upright position and you have it under the pressure of standing, the fluid is squeezed out of that cyst, that bursal sac. Like you've heard of elbow bursitis? There's a bursa right over this tendon here, over this bone. And so, when I slide my arm back and forth, there's a lubricant sac there; if I ding it, which is very common. People will bang it. It was not uncommon to see injuries like that in the ER. That sac can get irritated, leak out the fluid, and you get bursitis, the sac of the fluid. So, when you're standing up, it’s compressed, and the fluid is extruded out. When you lie down at night, the fluid can reaccumulate because the lining of the sac generates this fluid, and that's what's happening. So, there's a little bone spur. There are little tiny round bones on either side of the great toe phalanx, and these tendons run there, and you have a little sac there. So, that's probably what it is, but a podiatrist would know, and hopefully that would work. 

Question
“I wanted to know what your opinion is about hair analysis? And if it is good, could you recommend a place?”  [0:41:36]

Answer
Well, the only place that has the most experience and the best reputation, I think, worldwide is Doctor's Data in St. Charles, Illinois. That's www.doctorsdata.com, and they will send you a kit for collecting hair for analysis. The further the hair is out, the more they do it in sections, so that they can know what's furthest from the root. And so, as you line up the hair pieces, you start to get a story of what your exposure has been over time. If the hair is just all garbled up, we can't get a time exposure. So, I have very long hair. My hair is very long. So, I would have many long tapes that would show the most distal to proximal as my hair is tested, and you can see the exposure in my body. And yes, it has value in determining exposure to poisons, arsenic, and heavy metals. I don't use it because I like what is called, and traditionally have used for the past, I would say, 50 years, the EDTA chelation challenge, where we give you, according to your kilogram mass/weight and your kidney function, and we collect your urine. When we give you the milligrams per kilogram of EDTA, and we have your weight, and we see how much urine you pee out in 6 hours, 1/4 of a day's time, we can calculate the amount of what you peed out of 21 different heavy metals, and then we compare it to doing the exact same test, the exact same manner at the exact same lab. And we can compare over time your rate of exposure compared to chelating it out. And the quicker you chelate, the more dramatic the drop-off is. Whether it's lead or aluminum or mercury or gadolinium, it always improves. Always. All of them improve. And so, I like that for heavy metal measurements. But if I were a private detective and prosecuting a poisoning case, I would want the hair analysis, so that I could get a timeline fixed to the length of the hair from the closest part to the scalp to the furthest distance. 

Question
“What can be done about arms that bruise really easily as you get older?”  [0:44:55]

Answer
Well, our capillaries, it's like rebar in cement. The cement is your skin. And as the capillary goes through that skin layer, if the capillary is in there, but then you lose the layers of the skin, and now you only have very thin skin, the back of the capillary can get hurt, bumped easily, and bleed. Whereas, if you had layers above it, it'd be harder to hurt that capillary there. So, if we don't exercise, if we don't eat enough protein, if we don't get a good night's sleep, these are things where you're going to have thinning skin. Part of what helps your skin grow is having your hormone-based testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and all the other good things we talk about: co-factors of minerals, B vitamins, methylated, adequate water. And it helps keep your skin thicker. So, yeah, you know, it is important. I do put a little of my estradiol cream on the back of my hands, so I don't bump and bruise so easily. So, that's what I would do there. And find a health care provider that can do that for you and watch you. 

Question
“I'm a 66-year-old male who follows your dietary recommendations. I currently take Energy Core, vitamin D3/K2, Seasonal Shield, and Digestive and Systemic Enzymes. Would someone on that regimen need or benefit from your Multi-Mineral supplement? Is there any downside to taking all these supplements?”  [0:47:08]

Answer
Definitely, the TLC Multi-Mineral has the amino acid chelated, we call it. It's made by the Albion company, which uses natural amino acids to chelate the mineral, which has much superior absorption than magnesium oxide or other salts. The amino acid chelates are much better and utilized much better in biochemical living tissues. Now, they are co-factors, along with B vitamins, like a template to attract an amino acid or a fatty acid to start making tissue in your body, hair, anything that needs to be made. God uses these co-factors, which are your minerals, your B vitamins, and some other unique compounds. So, yes, it would be beneficial. I take TLC Multi Min. I take the methylated B. I take the D3 with K2. I take the Energy Core. I use the D-Hist or Seasonal Shield; it's the same thing, and I take the systemic enzymes and digestive enzymes. And I just consider there’s something that I need to do because the food system has been so corrupted. The mineral content of food, the nutritive content, is not what it used to be 50 years ago. 75 years ago, we were lucky to get even half the nutrient value of a food item. 

And is there any downside to taking all these supplements? I don't know of any downside. I tell my father in heaven when I get up in the morning, and I set out my vitamins, every single day, I give him thanks for the ability to have these available to me because, you know, when I was a young doctor in the 1970s, and I saw a 73-year-old woman, my goodness, you know, I would think of the term grandma, but I'm looking in the mirror, and that's me now. I am the 73-year-old. I don't have any hip replacement. I don't have any knee replacement. I don't have any replacement of anything foreign in me. I'm all real. And I don't hurt anywhere. And glory be to God, I heal quickly. And I think God made us fearfully and wonderfully made. And so, if we use common sense and mindfulness to stay busy building the kingdom of God, because, as a worldview, I'm a Christian. So, I don't let my mind wander into fear. I just keep on saying Stay on task every day. You’ve got to build the kingdom. Don't worry. Whether you live or die, I will be found being in service to my God. And so, I think all these things help to put us together well and live well. And we are certainly seeing it. We have 45 years now of experience. So we know what works, and I notice it isn't with any of these high-cost peptides or frivolity. Not that there may be some value, and we are doing our due diligence to look into peptide therapy, but folks, I want to be convinced of what I'm doing, sourcing, and quality. And so, it's going to take months; maybe it'll be the spring of next year or summer before we really start incorporating if we find a few items that we do think are valuable to use in the peptide world. 

Question
“What do you know about superficial siderosis? It was discovered on a recent MRI, and I'm now having to get lots of testing for it. I'm 39. Worried about the number of MRIs and CT scans I'm getting. I already have severe hearing loss in my left ear and lots of migraines. Any advice here? Thank you.”  0:51:49[]

Answer
Well, this superficial siderosis is a deposition of hemosiderin, which is an iron deposition in the tissue. Have you ever seen somebody with their ankles and they look like they have little brown spots or like it's dirty around their ankles? And what that is – is that their capillaries have burst over and over again over the months or years, and those tiny red blood cells have gotten into the tissue, and it turns out that the iron that's in the red blood cell gets deposited there, and it starts to stain the skin like a tattoo. And that's an iron stain of the skin. Well, this happens in the brain. It can happen on the dura, the covering lining, the dura, the arachnoid, the pia mater, the lining; it was supposed to be a barrier. People who have had head trauma, people who have had lots of lumbar punctures, people who have had maybe some microtrauma to their spine or spinal cord might have some leaks where red blood cells can get in, and this iron deposition occurs and creates havoc and inflammation, because that iron can then go from a state of ferrous to ferric.  So yeah, chelation therapy is what I would do with high-dose vitamin C. I would take Juice Plus, systemic enzymes, and be on a low-carb diet. I would be rich in healthy proteins, grass-fed only. I would exercise and get a good night's sleep. 

We actually did the EDTA chelation suppositories, and it was a UCI research team of specialists in liver, hepatologists, that were looking for ways to treat hemosiderosis, which is the trouble with metabolizing iron and retaining it. And they looked at using EDTA. Well, they used our data, and then they're running with it. We get no benefit for our research and our time and money we put into this, but we know that the EDTA chelation did work and does lower it. So, there are ways to treat it. There are iron detoxicant like SubQ and intravenous and oral iron chelators, but they have a large side-effect profile of risk. So, despite some serious problems, EDTA chelation is safe enough for a baby. I would go to www.acam.org or get in contact with us here. Find someone who can start doing a whole beautiful personalized chelation lifestyle change, monitoring all these various anti-inflammatory approaches to your diet and your gut health, and you should do quite well, and I wouldn't worry about your future. 

Question
“Hi Dr. Ellithorpe! Would you recommend a good neurologist in Orange County? Thank you!”  [0:55:49]

Answer
Yeah. Martinez. He's from Hoag. I think it's Joseph Martinez, but his last name is Dr. Martinez. He's good. O'Carroll is very good. I've worked with O'Carroll for decades. So, that's two. 

Question
“My son has been hospitalized for over a week with an ear infection that has reached the temporal bone. He’s had multiple MRIs, scans with dye, and nuclear tests. What do you recommend for the effects? How can we assure the proper bug is being treated? I worry because he was in floodwater that maybe it is something out of the ordinary.”  [0:56:21]

Answer
Well, all that gadolinium and dye comes out with EDTA chelation. He'd benefit, of course, from high-dose vitamin C as an antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial. And we can do ozone ultraviolet light irradiation of the blood. These are various things that can be done. You have to have an infectious disease; work with your ENT doctor there. I'm sure during surgeries, or if they've done any temporal bone or mastoid bone sampling, that they would have cultured. But you work with them, and we have supplemental things that we can do to help. And I would take the systemic enzymes, be on a very low-carb diet, those kinds of things. Get the vitamin D level up on your boy and have that checked out. Again, it says here that you're a patient here. If I could have you call and text me, I'd like to know the age of the child, your son, and how big he is because we could try and maybe be a help to that. But again, you’ve got to work with infectious disease, your ENT, and we can come alongside them and help. 

Question
“Recommends prayer in the morning and evening in his new protocol book – Andrew Huberman.” [0:58:07]

Answer
Andrew Huberman. Well, praise be to God. God so loved the world, he would that all men would be saved and none to perish. What a wonderful father, Creator God. What a wonderful, loving God he is. And now, Andrew is being transparent and letting us know his worldview. Good for him. Good for him. So, with that, he has a good podcast. So I recommend Andrew Huberman also. He's not a clinician. He's a neuroscientist, an ophthalmological neuroscientist. So, you’ve got to be careful, ladies and gentlemen, on the internet. The doctor has to be humble enough to say when they don't know anything or where their limitations are. I think we're starting to get some Wild West in the podcast world. So I'm going to say good night; it's after 7. I've worked all day, I'm worn out, and I need to get home. I won't eat because I ate all my – I hit like 120 grams of protein today, and I have to be ready to serve on active duty for the King of Kings tomorrow.
