Betsy Asks: I am looking for some tips on helping myself recover. I had an allergic reaction to a spice which caused me to cough for about 20 minutes. Afterwards I had an ache in my voice box, which is where I always get a cold. My lungs remain clear, my throat is not sore, my sinuses are clear, but I have that heavy feeling half way down the throat near the clavicle. Because it was such an immediate reaction to some spice I took some Sinus & Allergy support, 30 minutes later some Respiratory support and off and on Super Olive Health and Killer Biotic with meals.

It is slowly improving from Sunday, but do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!

Hi Dr Glidden, Roman from Australia (on vacations in Vietnam) here. Easier to connect on a Thursday from Vietnam than from Melbourne Australia. 11 pm vs 3 am in Oz. My wife had advice to take Sulphur 200C for an itchy skin, made worse when warm and sleeping. Initial course was 2 caps per day for 5 days. Itch reduced but did not stop completely. It is still a problem. Any further advice please?

It's Grant from Iowa and I wanted to provide an update to my anal fissure. Happy to report the pain is about 80% gone, some days are better than others and depends on hwo loose the bowel movements are. The looser the stool, the better it is for the fissure. Hydrocortisone from the MD is still in the unopened box. I am starting to have pain again in my groin where I had the indirect inguinal hernia tissue repair in December. The pain seems to be isolated to where the scar is from the incision and surrounding. I have been experimenting with the hands on healing but was wondering if you had any homepathic or supplement reccommendations for resolving the chronic pain from the surgery-even though it's been 3.5 months. Would the gluco gel help? I also would like to know if you have any recommendations for preventing a hernia recurrence. My surgeon basically told me I was all but guaranteed to have a re-currence because I did not get the standard of care mesh. Nonetheless, the repair was well done. Lastly, what's your opinion on getting cavities filled by the dentist? I have never had one, but have 3 that they say need to be done. I greatly appreciate your insight.

I have suffered with nasal congestion since childhood. Always having to blow my nose. For years I have avoided all gluten grains, most gluten free grains, sugar, peanut butter, chocolate, and the one food I tested allergic to: potatoes. But the nasal congestion remains. Do you have any suggestions as to how to clear this up?

Ken B here. Per your response in Tuesday night’s Q& A, I need some clarification please. BTW all of the calcarea flourica I have been taking is from Boiron and I did start off with calcarea flourica 200ck back in November. Just to clarify, are you saying that I need to go back down to 30c potency?

Could enema somehow help flush out parasites? Some update following your colonhydrotherapy recommendation: So I've been doing colonhydrotherapy at home. My mother has been on that train for years and she always prepares the coffee enema for me every week. I've been doing it once a week for a couple of months now and there's been a remarkably noticeable increase in stool quality since then.

Does it matter if I have the Ultimate EFA or the EFA Plus? Different Youngevity packages have one or the other. Richard in Ottawa, Canada Re my recent email to you. I am now logged in and see the green button.

Right thumb still hurts, woke me up 4 nights in a row (2-3 am) heat helps, any amount of touching, pressure or cold makes it worse. Left hip hurts like a Charlie horse in the evening and night, been on the cold side. Craving sugar like crazy. Still taking the arnica album 3 pellets 3 times a day every other day. Hope you had an amazing vacation.

Hi Dr. Glidden! I'm glad you're back. Hope you had a great time on vacation! My 16 year old son who broke his finger was helped greatly with pain from your recommendation to take Hypericum. So thank you for that! My question: Does Youngevity have a bone supplement in pill form like Osteo fx? (He doesn't like the liquid or powder osteo fx.)

Do you like Cal toddy? Is it as good as Osteo fx? I'm thinking about taking that for constipation.

Good morning Doc; Paul fm Fredericksburg here...One can purchase empty gel caps (even vegan is available), then fill the caps with osteo-fx powder... and VOILA! Problem solved! Praying for your wellness - Paul -
