Greetings, Doc. My friend’s right leg is noticeably bigger from the kneecap down and about 1 kg heavier than his left. The veins are quite prominent—purple rather than blue. Overall, he feels fine and stays active, jumping rope and running daily. I recall you once mentioned this could be linked to a blockage in the large intestine. Could this also point to lymphatic system issues, and might colon hydrotherapy be worth considering? He has no grey hair or hemorrhoids yet. What would you recommend?

Hello Dr. Glidden, I have a success story and a question: Success story: I’m 79 years old and have been on proton pump inhibitors for 25 years including a high dose for the last ten years. Upon your advice, I increased my intake of salt and calcium. I am now free of this dangerous substance. Thank you. Question: I have been hospitalized twice with pulmonary embolisms. My MD took me off Eliquis after the first time and then it happened again recently after about two years and have been taking Eliquis since. I don’t like being dependent on this substance, but I’m afraid to stop. Any suggestions? I’ve been taking EN90 for three months.

Good morning; I hope all is well! Marty from Almond, Wi here. My wife and I are having our yearly physicals in a couple of weeks. You know the drill: insurance covers this under our plan, so we really go for the blood work. Besides the cholesterol tests, what tests would you recommend? My wife has been having an issue losing weight. We both started eating really well and were doing intermittent fasting, of course avoiding the 12 deadly foods and taking the 90. I lost 27 lbs, but she only lost 5lbs. We also walked 2 miles a day. Could she possibly have some sort of thyroid issue? Her mom struggled with a weight issue most of her life, and recently the doctor said she has a thyroid issue and Lymphedema, she is 85 now, a little too late. Is there a test for this? Also, the last few years, they say I'm borderline diabetic? I weigh 182#’s and am 5’ 11” any suggested tests for this? Thanks for all you do!

Dr. G, I followed your protocol for bursitis in my elbow, and the 10 days of taking homeopathic silica ended earlier this week. The swelling in my elbow has gone down significantly, but there is still a little swelling near the tip of the elbow, and it's still tender there if bumped. Should I still take some silica moving forward or what is your recommendation from here? I've been taking more PDM and Osteo FX as advised and was doing the hot & ice combo for my elbow but have stopped the last few days. Also - Am I able to do some activity with the elbow during the healing process? Thank you! Robbie H.

Hi Dr G! Kandi from Michigan here. 2 questions for you. Do you have an opinion about biological dentists? Also, I have been doing the tinnitus protocol since last October, lately it seems like the progress has flat lined. I decided I should start taking an additional cap of osteo per day, am I on the right track or would you suggest something else? Thanks so much!

So if I'm majorly short of NaCl, I need salt. The last time I got an NaCl IV at the emergency room, it helped immensely. I'd rather avoid hospitals and Emergency rooms. So how up my NaCl by myself. Salt my water? Salting food won't work - I don't eat enough. Suggestions please.

Hi Dr. Glidden, My five year old son (weighs 40 lbs) got a wasp sting on his right shoulder on Tuesday morning. I made a baking soda paste and applied it to his sting site twice. And that helped immensely. He became tired in the evening. (I expected that as when he’s been stung 3 other times the past few summers). I gave him 2 pellets of the apis mellifica 30c that evening. Last night he started he woke up in the middle of the night with a barking cough. My husband and I gave him 2 pellets of Spongia tosta 30c and 2 pellets of Drosera 30c. He was able to sleep 7 hours straight without this barking cough. What do you recommend? Also, I make him a morning shake with youngevity products - tangy/osteo/plant derived. Thank you, Teresa from NY

Good afternoon Dr. Glidden, The silver worked great for getting rid of my UTI but a week later I started getting symptoms at dawn. The rest of the day I felt fine. Should I continue taking the silver and for how long and how much? Thank you so much!

Hello. I have finished the series of 5 hydrotherapy session, did the 21 day beet juice cleanse and 3 consecutive months of the full moon cleanse. Don't feel any different The Cali carboninica (sp) keeps my anxiety and pain at bay mostly but when I get feeling a little better I get horrible shin cramps. What would you recommend from here? Thank you for all you do much appreciated by many.

Char from Georgia. I have "episodes" with afib type symptoms with heart beat. Exertion does not trigger it, but sometimes after eating, not always. Most times there is a brief blast to my head that is a high frequency, ears close, a little scary. Pulse ranges from low 50's to high 140's & its hard to breathe & I get dizzy. Can last 1/2 hr or overnight. All heart tests come out normal!! They never can catch it actually happening cuz it subsides fast.

28:28

Dr . Thanks for your help. I have a problem with my left knee. It does not feel as solid as the right. When I apply pressure to tge side of the knee cap it feel like the bones are sliding. I've been on the 90 for sometime and off the 12 bad foods. I take in addition glucogel tablets and plant derived minerals. Is there any recommendations. Thanks.

Hello Dr. Glidden, I have been taking the Calcarea Fluorica,3 caps, twice a day for my bunion that you recommended back in May. The bunion hasn't got better. What do you recommend?

Hi Doc! Ruth on LBI... still trying to help the 7 yo boy to get second testicle to descend. They tried Lycopodium and see no change. What do you think of these suggestions: 1) perhaps inflammation has caused fibrin to form in the pathway, so take a proteolytic enzyme to digest the fibrin. (Nattokinase, serapeptase, bromelain, etc. I have come across a broad spectrum product called Fibrenza...what do you think of this for a child) 2) if there is a hormonal issue perhaps he should try Good Herbs Male Hormonal Support? bad idea for a child? suppose he should get bloodwork to quantify inflammation, etc Should he Get all the bloodwork that you referenced earlier in this Q&A? What labs are of specific interest for this problem? earlier questio... person could get pink hymalayan salt 'rocks' and suck on them at will...this is also good for saliva production that is the best thing ever for teeth and gums.....right

Thanks for your help yesterday on our private appt! I think it bears telling you that my son does NOT sweat at all and he did have some lung symptoms over the years as he was recovering from Cystic Fibrosis, but I managed them with lots of magnesium, MSM, and probiotics along with inhaled essential oils. Today’s question though, is how do you dose the homeopathic remedies, as far as time apart from regular supplements or does it matter? And also do you need time between homeopathics and essential oils? Thanks, Paula

Dear Dr G — It’s Carla from Florida. I started the Aloe Arborescens Supreme Immune Formula by Deca aloe. Pls lmk what I am supposed to look for and what it could be helping or doing for the colon distress. But it is good and it is calming things. But not sure what more. (also earlier, Brett made mention of somthing called "OxyBody" by Youngeavity. It was for a person with colon issues. I want to add: reflux (GERD), tonsil stones, & probably hemorrhoids (but not sure). The awful perineal itch is somewhat better — it ebbs and flows in the background now vs continually raging like it did for years — not sure if it’s related to urine. I have to cleanse several times daily — w hot soapy water ……this plus the poop problem both of these keep me kinda prisoner at or near home. Also, I feel good today but this said after 4 colonics in 7 days.

You said I should wean from sennacides and laxatives and I did — zero laxatives in 12 days — but because I cannot get formed stools — hence so many colonics just to feel human. Since all this colon flare up nearly 1 year now — I developed worse varicose veins in legs ankles and knees. I have also developed chronic dry skin. All over. What is this about? Recommendation? Cuz I use castor oil w sugar and more to get it under control, taking so much time out of the day. Also I found a CT report dated 12/2023 == said I had diverticulosis, and at that time a 3” size of fecal matter there. I had a car accident resulting in that CT == so did not take notice of that finding until recently. I know we will deal with this end of august but I want to do everything possible meantime so the time is maximized and targeted. Any comments or guidance I welcome and cherish. **I mentioned above tonsil stones + reflux -- these are more dis-eases i am CURED from. what about collagen ? If we take GlucoGel -- isnt Collagen also needed? Pls explain. million thanks. my grandkids will not take the BTT and osteo and PDM any longer -- refusing that now. What is something good for toddlers to get as close to 90E as possible ? I hope Youngevity will fulfill this need for picky children.

Hello from Maine My husband had cataract surgery on June 2nd. He still has shortness of breath and anxiety from the eye drops he had to take. What do you recommend he do? He had to take Prednisone eye drops and also Keterolac. The drops gave him severe anxiety and made him jitery and short of breath. His doctor told him to stop the Prednisone after a week and to continue with the Keterolac for the rest of the month.

Hi doc. I have a pain in my right foot, I can’t stand on my heel. The worst is when I wake up and try to walk. I take extra gluco gel 8 Tbl a day with 90 EN and Osteo FX. What would you recommend for me to get better?
