1. Should we fast or should we consume a lot of protein when we come down with a cold or flu? Should we drink lime juice or coconut juice or other electrolyte fluids during our fast? 2. Is gluten also a quantity thing like oil in a bottle or should we shun gluten completely?

I have a problem with my spine deteriorating at the base of my neck. I was due for an operation 3 month ago which was cancelled due to a heart condition and the drugs I take. I was told they would only operate if it was lifesaving. However. I heard there will be a time when it will be too late to operate and I will lose all movement below my neck.

Good morning! Phillip the RN here; on the 90, off the 12. As someone who likes to read the science, I’m curious how you think: since most people are under-nutrified, the science tends to show how a less-than-healthy body reacts to certain stimuli. How do you recognize when the science also applies to healthy individuals? Secondly, I’m curious if there is a significant difference between the gluten protein and insoluble fiber on the villi in the digestive tract?

Thank you very much, Dr. Glidden.

I had a bypass surgery, and have a stent in an artery. You said to have my water tested for chlorine, which I will, even though I have a Berkey water filter machine. However, I go swimming 3/5 times a week, since I have had two spinal fractures. There is chlorine in the water there. Is there a way of eliminating chlorine from the body?

Is there anything I can take for the pain in my hands and wrists? Still taking the staphasagria 1M twice a day on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Hello Dr. Glidden and thank you as always for being our health advocate.

You don’t include sugar as one of the 12 bad foods. What guidelines do you recommend for enjoying ice cream, desserts without gluten, etc.? So many people have huge sweet tooths and I’d like to know how best to be disciplined.

Nate in Pasadena - Hope you are having a pleasant holiday season. Question about oil in a bottle - at many other sites and even studies, I see few issues with coconut and olive oil. Are there studies that support the assertion about coconut and olive oil? If one doesn't handle it well that's one thing, but is there a way to show this assertion, because I'm having trouble finding support for it.

My wife got the Carroll Test done recently. She has never had any digestive issues. Never really been constipated. She doesn't suffer from an upset stomach. Generally in perfect health. The Carroll test came back and indicated that she never consume dairy. We are a bit perplexed by that since she has not obvious issues with consuming dairy. The test results do not indicate the severity of the sensitivity to dairy. It just says to never eat dairy of any kind. What about clarified butter? Lactose free diary products? For those of use who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, are slightly above normal for blood sugar on the 3 month test, do you recommend getting a blood test frequently? If so, what type? Is there any test (hair, blood) that can measure the mineral levels in the body?

This is CJ with sciatic nerve question. It hurts on the right lower back and the pain travels down my buttocks. It only feels better if I’m sitting down. When I stand up it hurts so bad. It also hurts when I’m walking. Sometimes I get a little relief from exercising.

Good morning! I am hoping you can help my husband who has a constant cough. It started with a dry cough after the Santa Ana winds started a couple weeks ago in Southern California. It happens every year. He had post nasal drip with no discharge until 5 days in and now has green phlegm. It is worse at night but he coughs all day. He is on the plant minerals, osteofx and vitamin C and he does the Navage (nasal rinse) daily. Is there anything that I can do to help him and maybe get from the health food store because he leaves for Vegas tonight? Thanks and God Bless! Debbie

Doing a search via the search bar on your website, typing in "Parasites" only reveals the Q & A conversations with parasites. I emailed Bob about your parasite cleanse and he told me this is found on the medical myth busting. I have found this when I search for other topics. So I don't think the search is linked to your entire website.

Hi Dr. Craig in Grants Pass, Or. I am a new subscriber. Does gluten cross contamination take place in a cloths washer. 2nd question Craig in Grants Pass. Does cooking pork well done cause cancer chemicals to develop in the meat.

Do you believe that the body can give you messages through your dreams about your body's health and what to do to help it? I had a dream that I should only take the 90EN once per week.

Hello, this is Gracie from Chicago. I am 71 years old. I think a lot of my health issues are postmenopausal. My body is not producing the estrogen and progesterone like it used to. What could I do to make up for this in a natural way and replace the hormones I lost so I could feel like I did before I was 50 years old. I feel this heaviness in my lower abdomen. And maybe it has something to do with ‘“rectole’”. I have complete pelvic prolapse with my uterus, bladder, and rectum, but my rectum not so much. I have been taking a cup of organic apple juice with a tablespoon of whole husk psyllium powder before bedtime and the 12 ounces of water but it’s making me feel constipated the next day like I can’t completely eliminate.

Herbal rainforest - is it ok longterm as replacement for PDM? An elderly lady confined to a wheelchair uses it daily for regularity, swears by it and doesn't want to be without it.
