Hello Dr Glidden, I’ve had 2 customers this past week, both with type 2 diabetes, tell me that their blood sugar spikes after having the Tangy drink. What’s your thoughts on this please?

Caydence, quest from Casey in Utah. I’m an 18 year old woman, 190 lbs, 5’ 6”…., Just had a seizure at work and wound up in hospital having MRI and cat scan done,, (nothing found) I work at a petsmart in Utah and don’t know what may have caused my seizure. I know I’m over weight, I do have massive and constant anxiety issues and I mostly find myself never hungry and have no desire to eat unless forced to or if I’m high on weed THC/CBD GUMMIES …but then it’s just junk food. I’m also told that two of my great aunts from the same side of family, had the same seizure at around the same age. I know it can’t be a genetic thing…, but I was wondering if you know what may have caused my seizure?. Family tells me that my two aunts only had the seizure one time and done, never had it again. So it is not a chronic seizure thing. I’m just trying to figure out what caused it what to do in response.

Hey Doc, What are your thoughts of using bells for their good frequencies? Have you tried using them before and noticed any effect? Have you heard of those foot bath units that detox the body through the feet, releasing nasty, different colored toxins into the water? Would you recommend getting one of those?

In your opinion, is brushing teeth with tooth powder that is loaded with natural ingredients such as Xylitol, beneficial at all? Is falling sick because I come close to someone who has a cold or the flu even a real thing? Does it happen on an energetic level or is it because of bacteria? Thanks, Dr Glidden!

I have a client- 90 for life religiously for years. She is a PT and knows the mechanical side. She has had numbness in her heel since her first pregnancy. She has done chiropractic care, acupuncture, PT treatment ….. her only other symptom anywhere is SI joint pain. Ok to stand on it but driving- the pressure on her heel is uncomfortable. Not really burning or tingling.

Could you share your perspective on melatonin? I recall you mentioning that it’s mainly useful for situations like jet lag. Is there any concern that using it over a longer period could lead to dependence or make it harder to sleep naturally without it? I’m also curious about lucid dreaming. Do you consider it healthy to intentionally induce it, and is there any real benefit to doing so? Or would you generally recommend focusing on consistent, uninterrupted sleep for a solid 8–9 hours each night? I’ve been dealing with a persistent buildup of blackheads on the tip of my nose. I understand this area tends to be oil-prone, but I’m curious if there might be any underlying factors contributing to it—whether related to diet, internal balance, or other causes. From your perspective, what would be the most effective way to address this? Are there specific approaches you would recommend to reduce or prevent blackheads in this area? Thank you for your insight.

Hey Doc! Bryanne from New Bedford - we're in false Spring season - gotta love NE. Update - still doing really well off the Sepia and letting it ride! Sx FREE majority of the time - little regressions here and there but progress holds steady! I have a new issue I'm wondering if theres any remedies that might work - I tweaked a muscle in my lower left abdomen 2 weeks ago - at first no issues but as a few days ago I'm getting a CRAMPING sensation if I lean right or stretch upwards. it feels exactly like a cramp you get in your side from running just not as intense. More frequent after 3pm. I'm gravitating towards heat to feel better. nothing pops for worsening the sx other than those physical movements I already mentioned.

Good Evening Dr. Glidden, Tom B (73) Lockport IL, I have a diet question. 17 years ago a Neuroendocrine Cancer was found with my duodenum as the primary site. a recent MRI, (Jan 2023), of my liver and upper abdomen showed no evidence of the former liver metastases, however the duodenum lesion still remained the same. In an effort to rid myself of the liver and duodenum tumor for the last 17 years I have been avoiding as much as possible all animal protein, especially casein milk protein. This course of diet was the strongly influenced by evidence presented in Dr T. Colin Campbell's book "The China Study". In it he argues that high consumption of animal protein, specifically casein, promotes cancer and tumor growth, acting as a "driver" nutrient. This seems in conflict to what you might suggest. I would like to follow your diet recommendations however I don't want to feed these existing tumor growth. What might say you as to the best course for me to follow... Threshold Effect: Dr Colin Campbell showed that animal protein promoted tumor growth only at levels above what is needed for daily nutritional requirements (approximately 10% of total energy). thanks for all you do...

Are you familiar with cases like Jody Miller where someone had half their brain removed because of epilepsy? In MD medicine it seems like the approach is to silence the seizures first, and if that doesn’t work, remove the part causing them. Before going that far, what would you look for that the body might be missing, and how would fixing that help calm the brain? have you been able to stop epilepsy episodes using naturopathic approaches? This is simply a question based on a desire to understand and not a personal issue based on Liberty University and a college course.

Good evening Doc; Paul fm Fredericksburg here. I developed an acute pain (halfway between dull & sharp) in the lower abdominal muscles; It is about 3.5" from my navel on my right side at about the 4:30 position from my perspective (7:30 fm someone if they were looking at me). No incidents of muscle strain to my knowledge. Pain is made slightly worse when the lower abdominal muscles are in use. I am your age, but probably a lot less exercised than you 😅 Your thoughts are most appreciated. Gratefully, Paul

I have a slight tremor. I'm not taking any medications. I have eliminated 12 bad foods since December. I have been using all the supplements for last 2 months. How long should it take to feel better? I also have nodules on my thyroid that I'm worried about. My recent blood test showed low selenium.
