Greetings, Doc, What do you think of my morning routine of combining Beyond Tangy, Osteo FX, and Youngevity Protein Power into one drink?

My grandmother has been living with chronic diabetes for many years, along with other health issues, and she’s already dependent on a number of pharmaceuticals. I know it’s not realistic to change her trust in the MDs at this stage, but I’d still like to support her in the best way I can. As a small gesture of care, I’m planning to order Ayush Biogymnema for her. Do you think this makes any difference at all & could you recommend the most suitable schedule for her to take it? When looking for proving symptoms of cell salts to determine if we might be taking too much, should we treat them the same way as homeopathic remedies? Or should we look more closely at the labels on homeopathic remedies for guidance in this case?

Hi Dr Glidden, Last week you recommended a protocol regarding my recent hospitalisation 'acute pancreatitis' (plus ongoing heartburn, gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, terminal illeitus and asymptomatic Crohns). FYI, recent fecal calprotectin was elevated at 126, similar findings over last decade....advised this is due to asymptomatic Crohns and terminal illeitus. Questions: What concerns, if any, would there be re the high dosages of the recommended 2 bottles per month of Osteo & Plant Minerals as well as the 90 essential nutrients, Ultimate Micro Biome & Flora FX, after recent acute inflammation of pancreas? Is there anything I should I look out for re detox signs so as to not confuse these signs with another onset of acute pancreatitis? There are studies online noting bowel ischemia and higher mortality rate for those who took probiotic prophylaxis for acute pancreatitis. Is there any reason to be concerned due to these negative online studies and the recommended Micro Biome and Flora FX? Thank you. (referral by Graham Moore, UK)

What do you think of the X30 Patch by LifeWave?  It' reflects infrared light back into the body to activate stem cells. Chris has taken 3 doses of the Plumbum Metalicum 200 C that you sent him. His shortness of breathing is coming back a little. Should he reduce the dose?

Hi Dr. G. What causes Polyp's?

Q1. I take Tangy 2.5, but I was wondering if there is a separate daily pro-biotic you could recommend? I was considering taking the pill form of the Tangy and would like to continue taking a daily pro-biotic. Q2. My right hand middle finger has a sore joint on the last digit. It is like a very sore or bruised bump. It is on the left side of the joint next to my index finger to be precise. If I massage the tendons in the palm of my right hand it relieves the pain in the finger joint. Can you make a recommendation on something I should take to relieve this issue? This happened about a year ago, but then it went away.

In 2020, I had spinal surgery to correct what was diagnosed as congenital malformations (thoracolumbar scoliosis, spondylosis, cojoined nerve root, rare form of spina bifida, etc.). The surgeon performed a laminectomy and installed "cage" to support my spine. My symptoms there were intense pain in the feet to the point I could no longer walk but a few feet pain. The surgery resolved the pain issue but I am left with recurring numbness and tingling in my left toes, specifically the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes. It gets better with elevation and rest (usually overnight). It begins usually later in the day. It is at its worst upon penetration during sex. It feel like an electrical current going through my toes. Is there a remedy to stop the numbness and especially the electrified feeling? Thank you for all your wisdom. I have gleaned a lot from your information. As a side note, my husband and I listened to all of the medical insight videos on a 20-hour drive to Florida.

I have a friend that wants to do the Parastie cleanse with me. She is on a blood thinner. Nerve Support say's not to take if on anticoagulants.  Any other options?  Is grapefruit juice a problem if someone is on medications. She's on a statin also. Do you recommend doing this 3 months in a row during a full mooon?

Dr G, I found a portable device that is available for preorder, and it can cool down to about 14 °F or heat up to about 100–131 °F within two minutes. Its contact surface is roughly the size of a facial cheek. Is the surface area too small to be effective? Could this be used as an alternative to traditional towel-based hydrotherapy for localized pain or muscle relief? P.S. Are there safe alternatives to Tylenol for pain relief during pregnancy, considering that ibuprofen is deemed unsafe?

Hello Dr G. I have been diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis and am hoping you can help me.

person in question isa 75 yr male. Had a procedure done on their prostate recently. Went off blood thinners for 3 weeks and more blood clots formed in their lungs. What is the best therapy for the blood clots? Will getting them started on the 90 etc help even with the medications in the way?

Hi Doc, the government of Ontario is pushing people over 50 to do a fecal immunochemical test (FIT). My family has zero history of colon cancer. What is your opinion of this test?  Richard from Kanada.

Dr. Glidden  how long do the good herbs last past the expiration date?

Hello Dr G, after one month of taking the Foundation Pak I have noticed that I have become more constipated. This is a surprise. I am taking the doses as directed. 1 oz of the Minerals and Osteo, 3 gel caps a day and a full spoon of powder. Any thoughts on what I can do to relieve this side effects? I was diagnosed with Ocular histoplasmosis last October. taking a shot in that eye once a month. very upsetting and listen to that disease name? it's great to mention at parties. What can I do other than the shot in my eye every month? thank you John in Nashville

Since 42 year old silicone breast implants are very likely to fail, I decided to have them removed while I am young enough to handle the surgery. It would be with a spinal but if I elect to also have a lift to remove the excess skin, I would have to have general anesthesia.  Would the lift add too much risk to make it worth doing?  Thank you very much for all of your  help!
