Dear Dr G  Tom T in Tucson here  I had another very strong aggravation from the 10 M Rhus tox including a lot of emotion. It did calm down a little bit but now after five days it is getting worse again with some vertigo and nausea as well. should I go to the 50 M which I now have or just ride it out until our next appointment on Tuesday.  Thanks

I spoke with you briefly during a free Q&A with Brenda. I am 200 pounds and had a CT calcium scanned for arthrosclerosis that came back with a score of 2000. I watched the two cholesterol videos in the protocol section but they Recommend slightly different treatments you previously recommended Cal toddy and buttermilk. I’m two weeks into the 90 essential. What should my protocol be and what can I expect my 2000 level to be at after 90 days?

I have been eating the protein; this is my 6th day. And nothing has changed. Can you please tell me how I should be taking the Hoeopatghic medicine and what else I can do? This is Mark Marvald from The Villages, Florida.

Consulted with you on 9/14 for left ear infection and was prescribed Lycopodium 1M. I then received exam at Urgent Care on 9/15 with confirmation of middle ear infection. Observed red swollen ear drum with fluid and pus. Prescribed Ciprofloxacin ear drops for 7 days to prevent further infection and to avoid needing oral antibiotics. I have little or no discomfort in the ear but a lot of post nasal drip in back of throat. Left ear feels full and can barely hear from the left ear along with some fatigue. I am taking the homeopathic remedy but as of Friday have not administered the antibiotic ear drops. Should I take the antibiotic ear drops or wait? What is your recommendation? Thanks!

This is Chris from Maine. The Pulsitilla didn't help. I did get some relief from the Plumbum Metalicum. Back in late May the ball, the arch, and all of the toes (not just the big toe) on my right foot started feeling hot and buzzing, almost as if it had fallen asleep. I couldn't stand or walk for any length of time. I took the Plumbum Metalicum and by late June I could stand and also walk for hours with minimal discomfort. There is still that underlying sensation in all my toes and the ball of the right foot but it is fairly minor.  What do you recommend I do at this point?  Thank you Dr. G!  Elevating my foot makes all the sensations disappear. I don't feel any discomfort when I am in bed.

Hey Dr. G.: Regarding the topic of hemorrhoids. I' ve had them in the past but not for a long time. Then suddenly I had a very painful experience of protruding hemorrhoids. A burning, bulging sensation. It's been a week of this and what helps is a homeopathic suppository (HemCalm) before bed. Cool sitz bath helps. Problem is 2-3 regular bowel movements a day makes it worse with protrusion. Your book protocol ,mentions copper deficiency. I take the copper hydrosol 1 TBLSP / day. Should I increase the dose? Anything else I could do? Thank you!

John in Nashville, Hey Dr G I started taking the Ulitimate Enzymes on Monday and noticed a faint white color on my stool yesterday and this morning. I had completed the Beet Juice Support for the Liver in June and did 2 bottles of the Liver and Galbladder Support in July/August so it couldn't be my Galbladder or bile. So is this due to the Ultimate Enzyme? Should I stop for a couple days and see the results? Should I just stay away from this product? Let me know and thank you.

1) during one of our appointments I mentioned that my platelets have always been low and you said that was a lung issue – what is the connection there?

2) I was stung by a bee on September 1st and got the stinger out right away… Later that night where I pulled the stinger out it developed pus and it ended up breaking open the next day… The area was about the size of a quarter in redness and it took over a week to go away– I can actually faintly still see the redness. Is there anything I should do? I've never had a reaction like this before – do I need to be concerned about some kind of allergy? No itching...doesn't hurt. I'm concerned because we had somebody in the family die of a bee sting on Sep. 4th and now an acquaintance also died of a bee sting this past week!  Thanks! Amy Vieth

Greetings from NJ Dr G. I’ve had very sharp pains very infrequently over many years-over at least 10 years. The pain strikes hard and fast but goes away. It’s located about 2 inches above my groin on the right side. The pain is a 10 of of 10 but lasts only a couple seconds. But last ight in bed it came again in the same place but lasted several seconds. It went away when I turned on my left side. There’s no pain or sensitivity there when I press with my hand. I’ve always just took it to be a sensitive nerve ending. I do have a cyst on one of my kidneys. Any idea what may be going on. Could it relate to my appendix? I’m going abroad for awhile and somewhat concerned. Thank you

This is Crystal from Maine. What is the maintenance dose for supplements or should we continue taking the higher doses you recommended when we first started? We have been on them for 16 months and are taking a lot because Chris added your recommendation for Macular Degeneration and I added your recommendation for osteoporosis and interstitial bladder. I am 69 and Chris is almost 72. We both normally feel quite good. I also take extra magnesium to prevent leg cramps and a little iodine daily to keep my thyroid in the normal range

Hi Dr. Glidden. I used to talk to you on Youngevity’s calls. I am 48 yrs old. How to increase my Ferritin Level and Lower Cholesterol? I am very sensitive even to Homeopathy. • Ferritin is 7. Total Iron 83. Iron Binding Capacity 412.  • Ferrum Phosphoricum 6c 1 pellet diluted in water, was too strong for me and did not work out for me too much  • Total Cholesterol 272. LDL Cholesterol 163, Non-HDL Cholesterol 180. (Per Dr. W, I cook on butter and eat eggs)  • Hemoglobin now is 12.6 (prior was a bit higher 12.9 and 13)  Cannot workout too much. Headaches when muscles are too tight, slow recovery time after the gym. This question is from Inessa in Florida

Jeff . I also have heartburn. if I don't take pantaprozal eventually my throat tightens up and I have a hard time swallowing solid food and have to get my throat stretched. What should I add into my protocols

Good afternoon Doc; Paul fm Fredericksburg here... Which homeopathic is indicated for a bit of excess mucus coming up from the lungs, though not seemingly connected with any type of infection? Just enough to have to "clear one's throat" (for example) while singing a song, or reading a short script. Thanks again!
