Greetings Doc. 1. Is there a homeopathic remedy or anything wholistic that helps with recovering from CTE or head concussions? Some athletes are never the same mentally after their brain injury. 2. I ate something the other night and had abdominal bloating and woke up at 5am with diarrhea. Is Podophyllum the perfect remedy for this? If yes, at what potency and what dose should I do it? Last question. Are cigars as harmful as cigarettes? Is there any health benefit to smoking a cigar?

Happy Holidays. Last time I sent in a question I mentioned that in 2019 I had a lumpectomy and was then put on Anastrozole for 5 years. I have approx. two years remaining to complete this dose. You indicated that there was something else I can take that may be easier on my body. I would be interested in exploring another option. I would love to get my osteopenia reversed if possible. Thank you. Diana

Good night doc. My son has a lipoma on the left side of his back and it seems to be causing pressure in his back, a tightening feeling. This is also accompanied by a little difficulty in swallowing. When he swallows he feels pressure on the left side of his chest. How can I get this checked out? What remedy to take for this? Thanks in advance. Also what is the safest way to do a whole body detox?

What causes a pathogen to be transmitted the way it does? For example, why can you get AIDS through sex but not through saliva? P.S Is there any reason to take ginseng on a regular basis? If so, what can it do for the body? Thanks!

1. It's been 6 months since this pain has started and still continues. I talked to a clinic in illinois that does ozone treatment and asked them if they could help me understand what has happened. They said it sounds like serious nerve damage. They recommended me to a Chiropractic Dr. who works at a clinic about 1 1/2 hrs away which is called Dynamic Spine And Neuropathy.. Please pray that they can help me as I have listened to them and heard testimonies. What are your thoughts on this? This has really been a difficult year or more for me! I haven't given it a fair try on the Sulphur and Camamilla yet, but I am still going to try it. I still haven't found any relief yet.
2.Also does it hurt to put on the rash on my ankle a homemade foot cream with shea butter, organic virgin olive oil, sweet almond oil, and peppermint essential oil. I have been using it, and with the extra omegas and this cream, it seems to look better. The area still seems kind of dry, though.
3.Also, it seems like I am having somd diarrhea issues again, and I have not figured out why! I have some Whole Husk Psyllium which I took tonight in water. Also, my stomach seems kind of growly, like it is upset.
Hi Dr G,
Could you run me through why the body needs digestive enzymes when the gallbladder has been removed? I understand that the bile is produced by the liver, and the gallblader is like a reserve tank, so normally, when it is removed, the bile would flow directly to the small intestine to help disolve fat. Where and how do digestive enzymes play a role when the gallbladder has been removed? Another question is if the villi in the small intestine can regenerate once it has been damaged by gluten? As the body is so wise and smart, and constantly regenerates itself, why would this not occure with the villi in the small intestine?
Thanks a lot. Hope you had a great xmas! All the best from Mexico Lindo y querido...

I came down with a mild flu yesterday. Slight body aching, mental lethargy. And a swollen lymph node on my left armpit. Is there a homeopathic for this?

Hi Dr G. Hope you & Brenda had a Merry Christmas. Brenda is helping me with all of this! - For at least 20 years, all plain water tastes very metallic to me and it seems to dehydrate me. When I drink plain water, it goes right through me, my lips peel and feel chapped, my skin gets even more dry, my fingertips and knuckles crack, and my heels crack. I once mentioned it to a Naturopathic Doctor who gave me a blood test and said that I have water outside the cell but not inside. He said that instead of my cells looking like plump grapes, they were like wrinkled raisins. He recommended a drink mix but I developed a sensitivity to it and had to stop. Currently, I can tolerate the taste of my drink mixture: 16 ozs water + 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt + 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, and it does appear to hydrate me. I drink 4 or more per dsy.
- I have trouble taking supplements. Usually after just a few days, I develop a sharp pain in my ankle, shin, or knee, almost always on the left side of my body. After I stop taking the item, the pain dissapears in about 48 hours. The worst seem to be enzymes, turmeric, or anything to support the liver. I have not been able to take the Youngevity supplements that I purchased. When I tried just 1 tablespoon of the Plant Based Minerals, after the first dose, I woke up at 3 am with sharp pain in my left shin.
- I have a constant flutter on the left side of my heart.
- The toenails on my left foot have a fungal infection but the right foot is normal. I had laser treatments but the toenails continued to get worse.
- My diet is very limited. I am not able to eat the same item more than a few times or I tend to develop symptoms. I had apples for a few days in a row and I developed a back pain (right side this time). This is true of nuts, seeds, and fruits. I am not able to eat eggs or dairy or I wake up in the middle of the night with my nose stuffed up.
- I have very fractured sleep at night. I fall asleep very quickly but wake up after about 2 hours and then toss and turn the rest of the night. This leaves me tired all day.
- Six months ago, I signed up for a group cleanse that included a liver flush. Of the 12 participants, I was the only one who was unsuccessful. I went from having regular bowel movements before the liver flush to becoming severely constipated after the liver flush using organic castor oil. In addition, the supplements for the cleanse caused left side ankle, shin, and knee pain.
- I have been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease and co-infections Babesia and Bartonella. My symptoms were mostly neurological (spinning vertigo, peripheral neuropathy in both feet, nystagmus). I was treated from 2010 to 2018 and have been mostly symptom free (except occasional chronic fatigue).
- I often get hypoglycemic if I am late getting a meal. I feel shaky, sweaty, light-headed, as if I will faint
- For at least the past 12 years, my body temperature has been between 96.5 and 97.5.
- I recently had a kidney stone that I was eventually able to pass.
Thank you, Diane D

Hey Doc, I’m 35 5’10 and weight 175 and have been on Youngevity for about 2yrs now. I’ve been having a rapid heart rate and palpitations on a weekly basis for the past weeks and months now When I’m just standing my heart rate is 120-130. Sometimes it can shoot up to 140’s not sure why This past week was probably the worst I’ve had it and had to get hospitalized for it 3x. If I stand, I have to take baby steps. If I walk, I take baby steps. My wife is literally taking care of me and I literally can’t do anything by myself Cardiologist said the structure of my heart and functionality and valves of the heart look good and normal conditions. Blood work at Beth Israel and Lawrence General Hospital looked good and everyone is confused. I’m negative for a Pulmonary Embolism, and negative for any blood clots in the blood, Negative for myocarditis… They just gave me IV fluids and that’s when things normalize while I was laying down, but when I got off the bed my heart just raced 120-130’s just standing They gave me a heart monitor and I need to wear it for 2 weeks then reconnect with PCP I was diagnosed with pre diabetes (5.8) and good cholesterol levels are not high enough according to PCP I did get covid 3x, but never had a problem with oxygen levels thank God, I did however get palpitations when I got it. I had to stop taking Tangy tangerine 2.0 & 2.5 because I felt my heart rate would really good up as well…Doc I need help I’m exhausted not sure what else to do, so sorry for the lengthy one.

Hi, Pat from North Royalton. Merry Christmas! About 2 months ago I had a sinus infection that included fluid in my ears which were inflamed and extended with fluid. The zpack really helped. All is well except for my ears. They feel like there is fluid in there when I turn my head and I hear a crunching sound, weird.
I use nasal irrigation with salt water and a drop of iodine and argentyn23. What would you recommend?

Nate in Pasadena - Hope you are doing better - it was of a bit of a shock to us "Wait, Dr Glidden got SICK? How can THAT happen?" Anyway, we're glad you're back. 1) In cold weather, hands and feet get tingly and sometimes swell and get achy. Already taking the 90 and staying away from the 12 bad foods. Any other suggestions? 2) Where can we find the list of basic homeopathic medications?

Greetings Dr. G! Mike from a frigid Sarasota, Florida here. So much for global warming! Q#1) What home pathics would you exactly recommend for the cold or flu? My wife and I are both battling sore throat, drippy nose, cough and aches and pains, along with some chills. Thanks for all your help and Go Vikings!

Greetings Doc; Hope you enjoyed a lovely Christmas, and you and yours have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! A while back, I read that the body, when trying to counter an acidic condition, will rob the skeleton of Calcium do the degree necessary to neutralize the problem, and the bones can often be deprived of enough Calcium (and maybe Strontium) to create an osteopenic or osteoporotic condition. Antioxidants are very helpful to prevent such (as you have spoken on in the past). Thank you. - Paul fm Fredericksburg - * to the degree Dr. Antoine Bechamp (opposing Louis Pasteur) said regarding sickness: "it is not the germ or "pathogen", but the terrain" (the weakened condition of the body). Is the Youngevity product called "Electrofuel" for enhancing H2O absorption?

Treating a puffy ankle and knee with hot and cold water treatments to reduce the puffiness like you always recommend. I have Lycopodium Clav 30 C. Would this be helpful. If not what would you recommend?
what is the best procedure to check out the pressure in my son's back? An ultrasound, MRI or some other procedure?

Hi Doc, Judy here. Two things…. 1) My index finger sometimes feels cold and a little numb; when it does that it also turns very pale. Can Raynaud’s affect just one finger? 2) My local ND recently discovered I have a heart murmur, says it’s a “leaking” mitral valve. How would he know it’s the valve and do you know what I can do about this (apart from surgery conventional drs recommend)? And if it IS the mitral valve does that mean I should take antibiotics before dental procedures? (I only know about that because my aunt had mitral valve prolapse and she always took antibios before dental work) So you've been sick? Would you let us know what you had and how you treated it?
Hi Doc,Jerry from New Jersey,new subscriber. What do you recommend for my wife who has high hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets off the charts on 2 different blood tests. Also what do you think of HTMA(Hair Test).
Is the liquid gluco gel as effective as the gluco gel capsules.liz
