QUESTION 1:
Is Topical Verapamil effective in the treatment of
Peyronie's Disease? Do you treat Peyronie’s disease at
your clinic?
Answer: It
certainly might be.
However the treatment does take a while to work.
I suggest you make an appointment and we can take
it form there.
QUESTION 2: I have been with my
partner for 3 years now and I'm certain he has an
under-active thyroid gland. There has been rapid weight
gain, even when I changed him to a healthy diet. He is
constantly tired and his hair and skin have gone dry.
What do I do to fix this problem? What treatment
dose he need?
Answer:
You can suggest to him that he have his thyroid
hormone tested including T3, T4 and reverse T3 as well
as a comprehensive hormone evaluation, nutrient
assessment and a test, which investigates insulin
resistance.
QUESTION 3:
My friend has multiple myeloma.
She was told no more soy.
Is this true for her?
Answer: I
could find no such connection.
Limiting dairy and red meat might be useful.
QUESTION
4: My mother-in-law aged 70 suffers from
Restless Legs Syndrome.
Is there anything that will help this?
She is currently taking a magnesium supplement
but it does not seem to help.
Answer: The
cause of this disorder remains obscure. There is some
evidence that iron deficiency at the cerebral level is
connected with this disorder.
It would be a good idea for your mother-in-law to
have her iron levels assessed and to take fish oil
supplements, which might make iron more accessible to
the brain.
