Hey Doc, It's Max from the Dominican Republic again. Following your advice, I stopped taking the Lycopodium 30C at day 5 after experiencing an aggravation of symptoms and I feel better with more energy and less gas. I still have the slight upper-left abdominal swelling over the ribcage and dark circles around my eyes. It is especially hot in the DR right now and I got a new symptom that came up after the homeopathic course which is a heat rash covering my neck and throat. Do you also have any recommendations for clearing acne on the face?  I ordered the Lycopodium 200CK. What dose to take and what course should I follow?  On another note: What to do if one gets rust into the bloodstream from stepping on a nail or getting cut by a blade? What are the alternatives to Tetanus?   Thanks!  P.S. I have not stepped on a nail or gotten cut by a blade - only asking that last question for the sake of prevention.

Two doctors have diagnosed me with dry Rosacea on the left side of my face. Other than the EN 90 is there anything you would recommend I take? Also, I have periodic flare ups of sciatic pain on my left side. It runs from my hip bone through my butt check (left side) and to my lower spine area (lumbar). Again other than the EN 90 what do you suggest?

This is Janis from NC. You recommended Equisetum Hyemale for my 3 granddaughters that live with me, ages 8,11,13 for bed wetting. It did not work. We think they wet the bed in the early morning before waking. Any other suggestions?

Good day doc. So my son just started a new job. But as soon as he started working there he started experiencing the following symptoms: Runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, slight fatigue and slight headache. This only happens when he is in the building at work and this wasn't happening before. When he is home his condition improves. Also there are 2cother persons having the same symptoms. What are your recommendations? What can he take that would help? Also can Kali Bichromicum or Nox Vomica help with this? Many thanks. My son reported the issue to his manager who said they will check the air condition and the carpet in the building where he works.

Hi Doc, I've been on klonopin , half mg 2x/day for the past year and want to slow taper off completely. I understand that going off this medication cold turkey is not a good idea. So, for the past couple days I've cut down dosage in half to 1/4 mg 2x/day but am experiencing rather intense rebound anxiety symptoms. Is there anything you can recommend to help alleviate this level of anxiety? Thank You

Hi Dr Glidden, This is Sharon Leonard, a private patient. A week and a half ago I had pounding palpitations/irregular heart beat after taking Sepia 12c. That was the aggravation we were looking for! I stopped Sepia for 8 days. Palpitations dwindled to only a couple mild ones a day mid week, then started increasing in numbers. So three days ago I started the liquid dose. This morning they were slightly stronger, but lasted almost continuously for 3 hours. Is this where I stop the liquid and let it ride again?
Thank you so much for your help,

Hi Dr Glidden, Gary from NJ. Can you please explain the meaning and importance of the copper zinc ratio and beyond the 90 essentials etc what we can do to maintain a proper ratio.

Barb from Michigan again, my husband had hernia surgery last year and has had brain fog since then. He says he doesn't feel sharp like before the surgery. What do you suggest for brain health? Also what are your thoughts on creatine. Good to take? Thanks for all your help!

Good morning my good doctor! First you are amazing, live long and prosper! I have developed a problem I've never had before. At 70 this is unusual. After eating my evening meal, which is the only meal I eat, only once a day, I am getting a stabbing pain under my left ribcage. It is very painful and uncomfortable to walk. It usually passed after a couple of hours. The pain is specifically just below the left ribcage and on my left side. Now recently this past week after I get up and move around this pain is returning, but not as intense. I can move around but it is there and annoying. I don't want to ignore this as I'm afraid it will escalate to something worse. And God forbid I end up in the hospital, where I will for sure end up dead. Thank you for all you do and I wish good health and a long life! By the way I do take the healthy foundation pack

Anything additional thoughts for wet macular degeneration beyond what is in your book? I've done everything listed in the book for months and nothing has changed. I have a black spot floater with a bright center that bobs around frequently. Also anything for dry eye as I don't want to use artificial tears?

Betsy Asks: In 2015 I had a severe and sudden onset of sciatica. I took one ounce of Osteo FX at bedtime only, because if I took any during the day I couldn't stay awake. In exactly 30 days the sciatica was gone and never returned. I'm seeing outward signs that I could use more calcium than my Bio Calcium capsules provide, but I dread taking the Osteo FX again because every night that I took the Osteo in 2015 I experienced nightmares About 20 minutes after falling asleep I would dream of an event where someone was going to get hurt and I could do nothing to help. For instance: I might see a child run into the street and know a vehicle is coming too fast to keep from hitting the child. That's when I'd wake up. I have tried Osteo FX off and on recently with the same results. Except now I expect the nightmare and wake myself up first, or 20 minutes may go by and I'm not quite asleep, but I have this feeling of doom and gloom. It's so annoying.  I know homeopathic remedies are not used preventatively, but I am looking for a way to consistently take a good calcium supplement without the drama.  I put copper hydrosol in my conditioner so when I shampoo and rinse I get a dose of copper on my hair. Recently I've had a lot of compliments on my hair color, although I don't see much color change.

Millie here... I have gout and been following the protocol from your site. I've had swelling from my knees down. The swelling on my shins about 4" up from my ankles began to bubble like boils. These areas are now nasty with infection. I have been taking Killer biotic, spraying CS, and have made a Calendula tincture to alternate. Also taking Ledum and Benz. Any suggestion to attack the infection? Also regular with the GH Kidney/Bladder. Swelling is down a bit and can get into shoes again. Concerned about the oozing infection.

Mark from Arkansas. I have been on the essential 90 for a year, but not 100% until June. Recently, I wake up 1-2 a night to urinate. This happened after I heard Brett say we can eat sugar. I started adding maple syrup and honey to my yogurt and tea. I stopped that. Brett Bashawati said to start taking Sweet Eze. I started that on Sunday. 

Hi Dr G ... any suggestions for dry mouth during sleep .. 

What would you recommend for chronic diarrhea?

Greetings Doc; Paul fm Fredericksburg here... I have read that anything that acts to break down acetylcholine can cause aberrations in the REM sleep cycle, inducing abnormal dreaming. Not sure how, but vitamin B6 was also considered a factor. For the edification of all
