QUESTION 1:
I am always tired and I get at least 8 hrs of sleep a
day. I am only in my mid 20's and I know this
can't be normal. I eat right, but I do lack red
meat from my diet. Could this be the issue?
Answer:
You should have your iron levels checked by
your doctor along with any other tests his/her medical
assessment deems necessary. This is definitely a problem
that needs comprehensive medical evaluation.
QUESTION 2: How is Klebsiella
pneumoniae implicated in respiratory tract infections?
Answer: This
germ commonly causes lung infections or pneumonia. Those folk with weakened immune systems are usually infected
with Klebsiella. It
can be spread person-to-person via droplet infestation.
QUESTION 3:I have been diagnosed with I.B.S
(irritable bowel syndrome) and have had an upset stomach
for 9 years. I
have tried Western and Eastern medicines but they don't
help. Is
there any cure for this?
My bowels don't empty completely.
I get relief after defecation.
My bowels empty after 3-4 sittings.
I don't have a routine for defecation.
Now I have developed anxiety and depression
secondary to IBS. I
want to set-up my routine of defecation like other
normal people. Please suggest a cure if there is any in this world.
Answer: I have found that with regard to your
disorder food allergy/intolerance, inadequacy of
digestive enzymes, the presence of abnormal germs in the
bowel and hormonal imbalance needs to be evaluated by a
practitioner who is aware of the need to investigate
these possibilities.
For example a gluten intolerance or candida
infestation could be the underlying cause of your
problem. Anxiety
and depression might be related to an inadequacy of such
important nutrients as the B vitamins and magnesium.

site for an update on these.
QUESTION
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?
Answer:
Men also suffer from hormonal problems and it
is high testosterone and the stronger
dihydrotestosterone, which might lead to skin conditions
such as acne. This
could be your problem as these hormones might increase
with sexual activity.
Alternately if you sweat profusely during sexual
activity this might also be an issue. Acne can be
difficult to manage. I have found that food allergy is implicated.
I suggest you have your hormonal levels and food
allergies investigated.
