May 15th 2005- click here for
answer
1. Is
cosamin DS vitamin beneficial for spinal stenosis?
2. I am starting to
get "liver spots" especially on my hands, and
am wary of chemical creams. Are there any natural
treatments that you could recommend as effective?
3. I have been sick
for four months now. A week after a very big new
year’s eve I started feeling nauseous and all of a
sudden had sensitivities to food. I also developed
reflux and stomach pains. I saw a gastroenterologist,
had an endoscopy (revealed no abnormalities besides mild
acid reflux). I was then prescribed antacids. They have
taken away all stomach problems but for the last 3
months I have been constantly dizzy & disorientated.
I have poor concentration, a very foggy mind & at
times am overwhelmingly tired. At times my vision
becomes blurry and I get almost mild hallicinations,
whereby my judgement of distance and colours becomes
muddled up. What does this sound like to you? I have
done so much reasearch it's driving me crazy. One week
I'm sure I have CMV, the next EB & now I'm wondering
if I have candida overgrowth syndrome. I take it you are
a doctor who
believes in candida? If so, in your opinion do I have it
& what should I do. I desperately want to get better
so I can get on with Life. !
I can hardly bare working even shopping in this
state!! Any help would be very much appreciated!!
4. I have been taking
Avapro 300mg for about a year now. The blood pressure
has stabilised, mostly between130/85. Lately I am taking
it twice a day, 150 in the morning and night. 2/3
hours after taking it, I get a leg pain shooting down
mostly on my left leg, but at night on both legs. I wake
up in the middle of the night with severe pain, and
can't sleep more than 3 hours a night for the last
7 months. Would there be a connection between Avapro
and the pain? Is there anything you could advise as this
would be much appreciated.
5. What causes
constant gas in the head with burping sensations?
Upon massaging the areas it relieves the pain and also
causes burping. I
have had this for several years and the doctors say they
have never heard of it.
6. I am taking enbrel
(my second month) for RA. I want to start taking
moducare, as I want to regulate my immune system. Is
this recommended? my rheumatologist hasn't heard of
moducare. I also read that Nettle leaf extract has the
same effect as enbrel, it is a TNF inhibitor. What is
your opinion?
7. Where can I buy a
very good HGH product?
8. Where can I find
information on how to treat graves disease? I have
two friends that have this disease. The first one
has already had radiation to destroy her thyroid.
The second is starting treatments soon. Could
glyconutrients be of some help for either or both of
them? Do you know of any cases like these that
have used them?
9. I have always been
underweight my whole life. I actually weight 107 lbs
(5.4 ft). I would like to gain 20 more pounds. All diet
programs are to help lose weight. I look scrawny and
find it difficult to find clothes that fit me well. I
wear a size 0. Can you please tell me if there is
anything I can take to help me gain more weight?
I have to add that I have a poor appetite.
10. I have read your
book, after being recommended by my Dr in Imbil. Are
there any GPs in Townsville, Australia who do the
testing that you recommend? I have asked Belrowes, who
did, but they are not taking more patients.
11. It's my pleasure
to introduce you a brand new process / production method
that yields non-toxic 2-deoxy-d-glucose, P-2DG.
If you are interested in
it please don't hesitate to contact us.

1. You
say that cortisol causes leptin resistance. I find
that very interesting and I was wondering if you could
direct me to research that demonstrates this.
2.I
have read both your book, ‘Eternal Health’, and
‘Eat Right for your Blood Type’. My questions
are: in Eat Right for your Blood Type (I am O positive)
it says that I should avoid cabbage and cauliflower and
eat red meat. Firstly your book recommends that these
vegetables contain essential vitamins and minerals to
assist in all sort of things - what can I eat that will
replace these and give the same effect? It also
recommends that I eat red meat (I prefer a vegetarian
diet) - what do I substitute the meat with?
3.I've
purchased and wish to start taking Neurazest for
tinnitus but am concerned with possible interactions
with other pharmaceutical medications that I am taking
for other conditions. I'm taking OXYNORM, TRITACE,
STILNOX and EZETROL. Is Neurazest able to be taken
in combination without any adverse affects?
4.1.What
is your opinion about Nutritional Supplementations?
2.Do you believe in the concept of 'Oxidative Stress'?
3.Do you believe that we need to supplement our diet
with optimum level of NUTRIENTS rather than
RDA(Recommended Dietary Allowance)?
4 Do you believe if we supply enough antioxidants to our
body we can slow down the process of Aging?
5. After 12 years of
remission if have Grave’s disease again.
I have lost my sex drive and wonder whether this
is linked?
6. I have been
diagnosed with inflammation of the lower oesophagus
which first occurred in June of 2004. Xanax and
Nexium were prescribed. In January of this year I
developed a condition whereby my tongue felt hot, as if
I could breath fire. Is this also a symptom of
heartburn, or acid reflux, or Barretts oesophagitis?
Nexium does not seem to help much. What foods, or
herbs could I be consuming as alternates to
prescriptions?
7. I was diagnosed
with primary vestibulitis some time ago, though it's
believed I have had it for years. I only
discovered it upon first attempt at intercourse when I
married. My husband and I have tried a variety of
treatments and are now considering surgery. We
cannot have intercourse due to the pain and it's very
sad to live in a sex-less marriage. Recently I was
also diagnosed as a celiac with a gluten intolerance.
Thus, I will begin a gluten-free diet. Have you
ever heard of a connection between celiac sprue and
vestibulitis or gastrointestinal disorders related to
vestibulitis? I'm wondering if a gluten-free diet
might also affect my chronic vaginal yeast problems
and ultimately my vestibulitis as well.
8. I am concerned
about some hair loss I have been having.
I had a baby in May of last year, then was told I
had cervical cancer. I had a hysteroscopy with a DNC in
July. Then had a hysterectomy in Sept. I received a good
pap test so I was told I did not need in further
treatment except regular pap test every 3 to 4 months
for awhile. So why is my hair falling out?
9. I recently had a
highly sensitive C reactive Protein test done. My
results were 36.6mg/l in January and the repeat
test results were 26.2mg/l. What does this mean? I had
this test done in conjunction with other tests (hormonal
tests) Should I check this out further? I have migraine
headaches and the doctor said the increased levels of
HS-CRP could be from this.
I need advice on what to do.

very moody. The

moods have completely gone.

1. If Proscar blocks the activity of testosterone in the
prostate cells, it may or even should do the same in the
muscles and brain tissue. Would not it result in
muscular atrophy and gradual decline in mental
functions?

He has a prostate problem. I read an article from
the F.D.A. against this product. Can you help me?
3. I
just recently started taking Priority One thyroid Plus
instead of Levothyroxine, and I had a systemic allergic
reaction about half an hour after taking the Priority
One pills this morning. Have you ever heard of
anyone having an allergic reaction to this product?

brought on by PMS. For some reason, I couldn't connect
to your link on 'Diet, Tests and Remedies for acne'.
Could you please send me the information by email? It
would be greatly appreciated!
5. I have been on an

the diet have anything to do with it?

I’m stiff and in pain.
March 15th 2005- click here for
answer
1.I
have been taking the contraceptive pill dianette for my
acne for about 3 years now. I have heard people say it
is dangerous to be on dianette longer than 18 months but
others say it is fine and no different to any other
contraceptive pill. Is this true or should I try another
pill for my acne which has cleared up but comes back
when I stop taking dianette.
I also use it for contraception.
2. Can you get
pregnant by taking plan B and by taking both pills
at the same time?
3. For some years now
I have suffered neck pain which induces awful headaches
which can go on for days. I have had all sorts of
treatments and nothing has really helped. The muscles at
the back of the neck are always sore. Now over the
last six months I have started to get ear pain. (like an
intermittent shooting pain) My ears sound continually
like they are in a 'power station' with this constant
ringing. There are also times when I feel an intense
pressure in my face and head and it becomes quite
flushed and thumps, (often when I get up off a
chair) my ears are louder then also. (I have a normal
blood pressure.) I am wondering whether the cause
of my neck problems is also now causing the others.
I work on a computer (10 years) but am always very aware
of my posture.
4. I wish to slow
down the aging process by laser or some method of
plastic surgery, who and what do you recommend?
5. About 3 years ago
I lost 200 pounds (91 kilos) - and this is great, with
the exception of the sagging skin and stretch marks.
I have spent a fortune on laser treatments which have
faded my stretch marks, somewhat, but I am still left
with substantial skin sagging. I have visited a
plastic surgeon and had a quote of around $40,000 to
have the skin removed but was told that this would not
guarantee good results, and also I would be left with a
lot of serious scarring. I want to find a way to
vastly improve my skin - and therefore this is my
question. Can DHEA, melatonin and HGH improve my
skin sagging and scarring? I cannot find anyone in
NZ who deals with these, and so would need to find a way
to use them if they would indeed be helpful.
6. I have just had an
emergency total hysterectomy and have been given
Estrofem to take, after reading all the side effects on
the package insert I am a bit concerned about taking
this therapy. Is there no other natural alternative?
7. I'm 7 months post
partum and have been eating a low carbohydrate diet and
exercising for 2 months and have not lost any weight.
My hair has been falling out for 6 months and I
have acne all over my body.
I have had TSH, FT3, FT4, estrogen and
progesterone tested along with sugar. These came back
normal. I'm
taking supplements thinking that yeast may play a role
because I was getting an infection every month right
before my period. This
month I have not had a period yet and I have not had a
yeast infection. I
had to take progesterone 2 months post partum to start
menstruation. I'm
wondering if you know of anything that could be wrong
with me. I
have tried it all and I feel like giving up.
My hair keeps getting thinner.
I'm so moody. I don't know what to do.
The levels of my TSH was .847, the FT4 was 1.1.

1. About
three months ago I was diagnosed with gallstones. I am
really unsure of what type of treatment to use. I do not
want to go into surgery but am afraid I might be doing
more harm then good if I just leave it alone. They are
no sharp pains just gnawing aches.
2. I was diagnosed
with papilloma in the throat two and half years ago.
I have had 3 laser treatments to get rid of it
with out any luck. I have come across a web site saying

know where I can buy it from in Melbourne?
3. Is there an
anti-aging clinic in Australia where HGH injections are

an irritable bowel syndrome kind of problem. I am on an
anti-candida diet and taking prodophilus and intestamine
plus a medicine from my naturopath.
I was given a prescription for diflucan, but was
unsure whether to take this as well.
Is it possible that pharmaceuticals and natural
medicines will cancel each other out? Or is there no
harm in taking the diflucan?
5. I have this cough
that has been irritating me for years. I notice that it
is caused by phlegm that keeps coming out from the
throat area. I
have no others sickness.

this correct and do you have any further advice?

1. I
began taking Moducare (5 days ago) to calm inflammation
and regulate my immune system. I have carpal tunnel and
tendonitis of my elbow. I also have diagnosed
osteoarthritis in a few (areas ankle, knee and spine).
Since I've taken Moducare my symptoms almost seem worse.
Is this the norm? Additionally, though my blood pressure
had always been in the range of 112/73, the last couple
of readings since I began taking Moducare (actually just
today) it has been 122/90.
Does Moducare raise blood pressure and if so,

supplement that is harmful to me.

My boyfriend used a condom but I’m not on the
pill. Please
advise.

treating/fighting it off and on for many years, but it
keeps recurring. I rarely get thrush anymore but
there is still a slight irritation in my vagina.
I'm definitely getting stomach bloating for the past
month. I
have white coating on tongue.
I was diagnosed with RRMS in August 2001, which
has connections with leaky gut. I am not on any of
the MS drugs but follow the Best Bet Diet, which
consists mainly of veggies, poultry, fish and excludes
red meat, dairy and suggests a saturated fat intake of

to stick to this diet.
I would appreciate any suggestions that may help
me. Thank

1. I have H. Pylori and have had
Nexium Hp7 antibiotics.
I seem to be worse and I can hear my pulse very
strongly when it's quiet. I don't want to take any more
antibiotics. How can I get rid of this bacteria?
2. What is sarcopenia?
Does this respond to Andriol Testocaps? Have you ever treated it?

4. I have been extremely tired for
several weeks and for the past two weeks have increased
abdominal discomfort, heartburn, and a metallic taste in
my mouth. What are some possible causes?
5. I have a 19 year-old son who has
had a medical condition for the last 18 months that I
only found out about recently. He refuses to tell me
what the problem is but I am very concerned whether he
is getting proper medical advice and treatment as he
says no treatment has so far worked.
It makes him depressed, feeling that life is not
worth living and worries about the effects of the
condition in his future.
I can only guess that he feels ashamed or
embarrassed to tell me what it is even though I have
assured him I would not think less of him.
I have found out he is taking a drug called
Nexium HP7 followed by a course of regular penicillin.
The nexium is indicated for stomach, ulcers and
helicobacter bacteria but when asked if this was what he
had he says no and that his doctor is testing this drug
on him as it has had some success on others with the
same condition. He
also says it hasn’t made any difference with him and
that nothing works. Could you suggest any conditions
that nexium HP7 may be used for other than the usual.
I just want to make sure he is getting the best
possible treatment.
6. Is your book only in audio form
and is it distributed in the USA or only orderable
through you. Could
you tell me if beta sitosterol supplementation ever

So why do you prescribe it?
My source is
Journal of the American College of Cardiology Dec
2003.
8. I wake
up with puffy eyes every morning throughout the day
the swelling goes down some.
There are days that aren't as bad. What can I do
to make the fluids around my eyes circulate when I
sleep? Are
there any lotions, surgery or laser procedures I can do
or use to get rid of the puffiness?
9. I am moving to Adelaide from

12. I want to know is there anything, which can
take to make my penis bigger?
I also suffer from poor memory recently and my eyes are
hurting me.
13. I have started a vegetarian diet 4 months ago. Is it
safe at my age, because I can feel there is something
changing in my bones (cracking noise in knees, pain in
my fingers) - I started to take glucosamine, but maybe
there is something missing in my diet?
14. I have had a lot of stomach problems in the
past eight years along with asthma, suspected
glandular fever and a weak immune system.
I have tried many different products (I also have
amalgam fillings).
I have recently discovered the use of amino acids
for my case, arginine, glutamine, glutathione,
glycine,and cysteine.
I also take essential amino acid supplements. I do this because I can't take whey powder regularly.
I would just like to know what you think on the
subject and if I have my information correct.

2.I attended the Anti
Aging Medicine Conference in Kuala Lumpur in May 2004
having practised most of the principles on my family and
myself. I
am being employed by Midwest Murchison in West Australia

Australia and they have seen the application of healthy
aging in my own life and wish me to run with a program

3. Concerning
Peyronie’s disease, although I am a healthy family
physician with no unhealthy habits and 24 years of
marriage I have suddenly developed painful plaque! Not
resolving now with vitamin E and NSAIDs for 3 months.
Urologists say there is no good treatment. I have no
desire to ever have surgery.
Much research has led me to want to try the
verapamil cream. I
have no one here in the states who seems to have heard
of it, not docs or pharmacists. If I can get a
compounding pharmacist to make it for me how is it
prepared and dosed?

secondary to IBS. I
want to set-up my routine of defecation like other

4. I read your
article on acne. Above the heading it says women’s health. Does that
article apply to men also? (http://www.eternalhealth.org/womens_health/acne.htm
My interest in acne is because I have noticed a sure
association with having sex and acne.
When I stop having sex my acne quickly stops.
When I have sex my acne quickly comes back.
This has been a problem for about 10 years.
I have only just discovered the elusive obvious
reason. Do you have any products, suggestion or
recommendations?

1. I
was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in 2001. I take
thyroid extract (pork derived). My levels of TSH, T3, T4
are all 'normal' according to blood tests but I still
feel terrible. I have tinnitus (but no hearing
problems), TMJ problems, I'm tired all the time,
sensitive to loud noises, have a very low tolerance to
any stressors etc. I have read a lot of interesting
material on sites like yours that suggest there may be
ways to help me but no doctors I have been to seem to be
open to exploring these alternatives. Can you recommend
any holistic doctors in Melbourne who really understand
the complexities of autoimmune disease and things like
adrenal fatigue?
2. About 3 months ago
I felt a hot flushing in my face which persisted on
& off, at this time I took my temp (with a Braun ear
thermometer) it was around the 37.8 mark, I continued to
monitor it for around 3 weeks with temps ranging from
37.2 to 38.3 at all times, taking panadol would not
bring it back to (what I know my normal temp range is)
of around 36.5. Other than fatigue no other
symptoms appeared.
I went to my local GP who was very thorough and
had me keep up the monitoring while having bloods &
repeat bloods done (all OK apart from fe studies were a
little low) as well as a chest X-ray, pelvis and abdo CT
(all came back normal). As these were all normal
he referred me to a specialist who examined me and told
me that until other symptoms appear there was nothing
they would do. He also told me to buy a mercury thermometer as he thought
that was a more accurate reading and said that I could
expect the mercury reading to be about 0.5 less than the
ear reading. Even now my temps still range between
37.2 and 38.3 with the ear reading and with the mercury
reading they are about 36.8 to 37.3.
The issue that I have is as I said previously
when I have taken my temp prior to this my normal range
has always been around 36.5 but I feel as though I'm
being dismissed and they think it's my reading that is
incorrect. In
saying that my local GP uses the ear reading also and is
getting the same result that I am at home.
Do you have any advice on where I should take
this next?

5. I recently (9 days ago), had my lower right wisdom (3rd molar) tooth
surgically removed, as it was becoming infected quite
frequently. The tooth was what the oral surgeon
called a partial bony impaction and I required anethesia
for the removal. My stitches were removed
yesterday to my relief but now I have developed what I
believe is a "dry socket". I had a
medicated packing in the extraction site, which the
surgeon removed yesterday along with the stitches.
I now have a constant deep ache that is not responding
to vicoden or percocet. I did not "dislodge
the blood clot", as normally happens because I did
not have one to begin with due to the medicated packing
that was there until yesterday. Do you have any
suggestions for treatment of this condition? I
have significant bone and nerves exposed in the
extraction site that I can view myself in the
mirror. I am on antibiotics to prevent infection
but the pain is my main concern. Any advice would
be greatly appreciated.

below. I feel it when I swallow and when I brush my
teeth, it feels like it's there, but won't come up.
It’s always in the same place. The only thing
that has ever been strange that seems to have something
to do with this, is that I once coughed up white chunks

that feeling for a short while. It did not seem
like mucus. I'm sorry for the graphic description. It

familiar. I don't smoke, am very healthy, and this is

scenario- a patient on SR T3 of 200mcg pd and 50mcg of
Oroxine, due to autoimmune hypothyroiditis but despite
this medication and dose - (without any cardio disturbances
except a resting pulse of 88), there is minimal
improvement in symptoms or weight loss. Monthly

I am wandering what the cost of hgh is at your

reason I use it at the moment is for bodybuilding, as I

6. My question is on
behalf of a relative. He has had previous surgery
to C3/4 levels. Prior to the surgery the MRI
showed compression of the spinal cord. He had lost
extension in the middle fingers and strength in his
wrist extension. After the surgery (they went
through the back not the front of the neck), he lost
strength in the triceps. The muscles have since
wasted. They tried a release at the elbow but this
had no effect. The reasoning for the decreased function
was reported to be due to a rise in heart rate caused by
WPW syndrome during the neck surgery. Anyway, my
question is whether further surgery, such as an
artificial disc replacement or other, would benefit him,
keeping in mind his fear of surgery due to his past
experiences. My fear is that he appears to have
increasing muscle wastage in the upper limbs and lower
limbs (i.e. due to compression of the spinal cord, not
just peripheral nerves).

Since then my blood sugar levels are under control but I
am obese and have had problems losing weight. I
eat properly (diabetic diet) and exercise. At a

and PCOS are similar and that I don't seem to fit into

main symptoms:
* Involuntary movement of hand and legs, especially left
side.
* Increasingly poor balance, and inability to gauge step
sizes, especially going down and on slopes.
* increasing weakness in left leg.
She has undergone multiple MRIs, Blood Test and Hair

*Huntingtons Disease,
*Parkinson’s disease,
*MS.
My sister is otherwise very alert, still drives a car

*Facial Ticks
*Speech disorders,
Since no Doctor has been able to define her illness or
suggest beneficial treatment, I have encouraged her to

*Fish oil,
*Antioxidants,
Vitamin E,
*Glyconeutrients (Mannatech),
Unfortunately, none of these appear to be improving her

I’m taking oroxine as I’m having a problem with my
thyroid gland but as I’m also going through menopause
and am suffering from hot flushes and some other
symptoms I’m wandering whether I could take hormones
or other treatments and whether these are compatible
with thyroid hormones.

3. I have not
recovered physically or mentally from the six bites
taken out of my prostate gland for a prostate biopsy
practice for a future MD at The University of Michgian
Medical School Hospital. They called it
"research" and I was uninformed that my
prostate was quite healthy, my PSA’s were good the
little amount of blood in my fluid once or twice was
calcification a symtom which had stopped long before my
surgery. I've been taking viagra. It's been
well over a year now and my ejeculatory fluid is still
very very low and my sex drive is all but gone.
Can you give me any hope for recovery?
4. Some 18 months ago
my libido dropped suddenly from having sex twice per
week to once per month.
That in itself is not really a concern. What is a
concern, however is the aches and pains in my elbows and
shoulders that followed.
I suspected a too rapid decline in hormone levels
and embarked on a course of vitamins and commercial
libido enhancers containing all of the natural hormone
precursors outlined in your book which I bought last
year. My
libido is improving but the real problem of joint pain
persists.
Could hormone treatment be helpful?
5. I would greatly
appreciate a generic answer to the following situation.
My doctor is clueless. I am 57 years old, with extremely diminished libido. I
have had all the tests and physicals. The doctors
wish they were as healthy as I am, but so what? I
exercise 4 times a week, my body fat percentage is 12%,
and I eat very healthy.
My total testosterone is 400 and the range
is between 260 to 1000.
My free testosterone is 79 and the range is
between 50 to 210.
This information was provided by Quest
Diagnostics.
What should my testosterone level be assuming there are
not other problems?
6. I have had several
measures taken re 'cell hydration' and they all show me
to be below average, despite my drinking around 2 litres

but otherwise seem OK health-wise. I exercise
aerobically, and I take a multi, fish oil, E, gingko
(had a DVT 2 yrs ago), Ca, Mg, and 5HTP for the
fibromyalgia. I
am 64,post menopause, not taking hormones, weigh around
70k and am 167cm. Any ideas as to how to ameliorate this
poor cell hydration?
I am wondering if this is causing the
fibromyalgia symptoms.
Are there any tests I should have performed?

1. About 6 months ago I noticed some white spot in my chest and some
discoloration in my hands and shoulders. I visited a
skin specialist and he said this is depigmentation.
He prescribed some liquid to be applied on the
skin and then stay in the sun for 30 to 2 minutes and
zincovit(Tablet). This treatment made my problem worse.
I am taking all kind of vitamins but the problem
continues. I am so desperate because of
these horrible white patches in my skin.
Could you please tell me if there is any hope in
recovering the colour of my skin? Is there any
treatment that you know I can follow, or is there any
doctor that has discovered a cure for depigmentation?

you could be of any help? For about 14 months now I've
had vaginal thrush at least once a month, if not twice

I've gone off the pill as sometimes that can
increase the chance of it happening. I have diflucan
regularly, I've had nizoral. I take acidophilus and
garlic tablets daily, wash the area with either salty
water or vinegar and water. I've been tested for
diabetes. I've had my partner tested and also put on a
course of anti biotics just in case. We use condoms but
it just keeps coming back. I've seen the treatment
'Three Lac.’ Do you think this would be of any use to
me? Are you able to help me with other solutions?
6. I am currently

weight. This
is very frustrating for me.
I have read that T3( LIOTHYRONINE ) is another
form of thyroxine I could take that would help me to
lose weight. Is this the case? I would really appreciate
your help. Would a local doctor prescribe the T3 type?

6. I am keen to take Hormone Replacement Therapy when I eventually go
through menopause, but all the doctors that I talk to
have told me that I cannot take it. This is
because I had an ultrasound of my leg three years ago
(before varicose vein treatment) and evidence of a
previous DVT was found (the vein was damaged). I
have searched the web extensively but could not find
much information on this issue. When I start
menopause could I use transdermal patches or perhaps the
nasal spray? Or perhaps some creams? My main
concern is to look and feel young. I am slim, eat
well, and don't smoke, so I don't have any other risk
factors for DVT. I have stopped taking the birth
control pill too.

3. I have been
suffering severe indigestion for just over a year or so
and 8 months ago underwent blood tests, which showed a
slight rise of amylase as well as a scope. Nothing was
found during the scope. A few months later on a routine
bowel check it came up positive and I then underwent a
scope for that which again turned up nil problems.
However recently I went back to the specialist with the
same severe indigestion and stomach pain.
The amylase was up again slightly as previously
however after further blood tests dropped to normal
again after 2 weeks. Another scope was done and
this time it showed a completely ulcerated stomach and
some of the ulcers had been bleeding. I can’t
understand how they cannot be there and then in eight
months develop like that.
I don’t drink or smoke and am reasonably
careful with what I eat. I now have a prescription for
some Pariet 20mg.
Ultrasounds showed normal organs however, lots of
apparently harmless cysts on all organs. The specialist
is not completely sure if all the pain is caused through
these ulcers not what has caused them, and is
contemplating a CT scan. I would like to try and
find a way through nutrition and natural medicines to
help fight this problem and wonder what has caused them.

6. After coming of
the pill in 2000, and failing to resume a regular
menstrual cycle I was eventually diagnosed with
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) based on a high free
androgen index and the presence of 2 large ovarian
cysts. My
insulin and glucose levels were normal. I drastically
changed my diet to low GI and began taking many
supplements including natural progesterone cream. I lost
weight, felt much better and began getting regular
periods. Then after about 6 months my periods stopped
and I seemed to get worse again despite maintaining
those changes. An
ultrasound showed that the cysts had increased in size
and although my androgen levels were normal, my
previously normal LH: FSH ratio was high. I had a
laparoscopy to remove the cysts and it turns out that
one was growing from my fallopian tube.
3 months later I have stopped the progesterone
cream as my naturopath says it prevents the ovary from
producing its own progesterone and I haven’t had a
period since February.
After much research I don’t
believe I have PCOS, but I do believe I have a
problem with my hypothalamus/pituitary feedback. I also
have many symptoms of underactive thyroid yet I’m
unsure if this is the cause or a result of the problem.
I also have low SHBG levels and slight macrocytosis
despite an excellent diet and B complex supplements. Can
you advise me on possible testing or treatments and if
natural progesterone can negatively affect the ovaries?

Candida and asked if it could be a problem and could it

was okay. However I had previously had Bells Palsy 10
months ago during pregnancy so I got a 2nd opinion and
was immediately without investigation told the same
thing but the doctor was unable to explain my symptoms

a while no one could figure out what was causing the
chest pain and then I was told I had an infection called
helicobacter pylori. I have had an upper GI done that
confirms that I have gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.
I have just recently (two weeks ago) started
having more symptoms.
Everything I eat comes right back out either by
vomiting or diarrhoea. I have lost my appetite and when
I do eat I get full really fast but then after only a
little while I feel like I am starving again. Do you have any suggestions on what might be my problem and
why all of this is happening to me when I am so young?
7. I'm a private practitioner

8. I have recurring large sores
(nickel to quarter sized) on my left buttock. They
are red and cause a slight itch, but no real pain.
They occur during stressful periods in my life, remain
for a week and go away. Is there anything besides
Herpes Simplex 2, which could cause this? I'm sure
I did not pick up a STD. This has occurred for the
past 20 years, and first happened during an extremely
stressful evening. I thought I'd been bitten by an
insect in three places at the same time because of the
quickness of the onset. Since then they come on
gradually. Do you have any ideas?

1. About
5 years ago I noticed some white spot in my legs and
some discoloration in my face, which is not much
noticeable now. I visited a skin specialist and he said
is Vitiligo and there is no cure for this decease but he
did prescribed me some liquid to be applied on the skin
and then stay in the sun for 30 minutes. This treatment
made my problem worse. I am taking all kind of vitamins,
including folic acid and selenium but the problem
continues. I
am so desperate because of these horrible white patches

I have had ongoing fatigue extreme at and exercise

radioactive iodine treatment for graves disease. Taking
150mcg of thyroxine per day, Inderal for palpitations,
Losec for reflux oesophagitis. The doctor says my
thyroid level is spot on and currently blames my
problems on anaemia. Have only become anaemic over the
last 2 years. I have a slight heart problem that is why
I was prescribed the Inderal and only take 20mg once a
day any more makes my blood pressure drop below 100. I
suffer a lot of muscle pain and spasms and have several
periods of myotonia over the years. I have been seeing a
neurosurgeon who says I have some sort of dystonia and
has been keeping an eye out for Parkinson’s disease
but doesn't think it is that. So I am a loss at present
at what or who to see next. I believe that thyroid
resistance can be a problem with some people using T4
replacement also read that using T3 could be dangerous
as it can increase the palpitation problem. I would be

1.I
have had a lower sore throat for six months. The ENT has
looked at my vocal cords, and another doctor has looked
at my oesophagus and stomach.
The only problem found was a bad case of acid
reflux. I
have changed my diet and been put on prevacid, nexium
and protonix which all seem to slow the reflux down but
do nothing to heal my sore throat. My newest symptom,
which may or may not be related, is my tongue. The back
half has a heavy brown coating on it. I have a metallic
taste in my mouth and the taste buds especially in the
centre are very large.
I have been on nystatin for a week but am not

going on would be greatly appreciated.

No one can tell me what is causing it.
I had a ton of blood work done, all normal
including my immune system.
I have had blepharitis for 10 years controlled,
but it flared up in Sept and would not go away with the
conventional treatment as before, (i.e., antibiotic
ointments, lid scrubs, antibiotics.) My face started
feeling very warm and getting red very easily, so I was
told I had a form of rosacea and ocular rosacea and that
was why my eyes felt bad. I have been on oral
antibiotics for many months and metrogel on my face for
6 weeks. I was told it takes three months for the
rosacea to get under control, but I am worried about the
whiteness. Can
vitiligo around the eyes cause the lids to burn and will
it go away on its own.
Should I have a gluten test done? What
foods should I try staying away from?
It really scares me and I just want all this to
go away and feel better. I take a lot of vitamins for
the eyes and supplements including borage oil, flaxseed
and evening primrose oil.
Can any of these cause whitening? I am
post-menopause and on HRT for years.

be between 36.6-36.8 C. A temperature of 36.4 or less
suggests a thyroid that is not keeping up. How can
it be that the ideal temperature for rest is 21 C, which
is what was quoted of you in the health section of the
West Australian Sunday Times?
3. Over the last few
years I've been experiencing general tiredness, low
libido and slightly depressed. I've read about DHEA on
your site and others and it appears 15-50 mg/d is the
typical dose range for women. However, where can I buy
it in Australia? The only medication I can find contains
3 mg and it appears there are restrictions on buying
DHEA from overseas.
4. I was diagnosed as
having a low thyroid using a 24-urine test. My
palms and feet are an orange colour, which is one of the
classic symptoms of low thyroid. I have been
trying to jump-start my thyroid with various nutritional
supplements along with adrenal supports, low stress,
etc. Do you think that it is wise to avoid taking
thyroid hormone? What nutritional (food as well as
supplements) are critical for regaining thyroid
function. I do not want to be on thyroid hormone
for the rest of my life if I can get my own thyroid to
start producing enough hormone on its own.
5. I have been
diagnosed with vulva vestibulitis. It is an

what causes it to happen. Do you have any insight
or suggestions? Your web site is terrific. You are
a breath of fresh air as you tell the truth.

his gut. Subsequently the doctor put him on
lactobacillus acidophilus
and other good bacteria and also a natural
formula to repair leaky gut. He has
been on it for 8 months. He got better but
had a relapse about 4 month ago, so he had another stool
test. Now he has klebsiella oxytoca. We have
just changed his acidophilus to the Japan OM-X (lactic
acid bacteria) formulation.
What is your opinion about this treatment?

have been on a no sugar, no fruit, whole-wheat only diet
for approximately 1 month. Since removing these
items from my diet, I feel more and more fatigued.
I admit at first that I didn't eat well enough because I
didn't know what to eat, being on such a strict diet.
I started eating vegetables, red meat, chicken, almonds
etc. and still I do not have energy like I did before
this diet. I started taking a multivitamin, hoping
it will help. Could the fatigue be a symptom of
the dying-off stage of the candida, where toxins are
released into the body? I did notice my skin get
worse before better (blemishes and then clearing).
I guess I should seek the help of a naturopath or
nutritionist.

gland and they found I have toxoplasmosis, which they

first episode was after receiving the Hepatitis B
vaccine at only one year of age. Her hair all fell out
then grew back. Then she had another Hepatitis B
vaccine and again the same thing happened. Her
hair grew back again and so we thought it was just a
side effect of the vaccine. Well, 6 years later,
her hair began to fall out again without receiving a
vaccine. We have been battling this devastating
disease for three years now and it's been a horrible
rollercoaster ride. She currently must wear a wig
to school. Her hair has come back, though it falls
out again. I am interested in moducare for her but
I am not sure about it and I certainly don't want to
make her condition any worse. It is considered an
auto-immune disease that is T-cell mediated. Hair
will grow while using Prednisone but will fall out when
it is stopped. Do you have any advise on how to
help her?
