Homeopath/Naturopath/Chiropractor
I am going through pre-menopause, and I am suffering of anxiety, depression and nervousness, what did you recommend for these symptoms. I am so desperate and concern for my well being, that I have see a acupuncturist for 3 sessions already, I am taking vitamins B-Complex, multivitamins, sometimes calcium and a natural hormone supplements, from the New Chapter products, that seems that they are organic. and now the acupuncturist recommend me omega 3″ w/DHA which I start today to take one pill at day but suppose to take 2. I really want to know what is the best for me to help me with the anxiety.
Can you please advice me more about this matter. I feel sometimes very weak, my appetite is not too good.
Thank you very much.
Dear M,
Hormonal balance can be complicated and take time to accomplish, without your health history I cannot tell you if you are on the right supplements. Anxiety and depression are both serious conditions and you may need to see your primary care physician and use both western medicine and complementary medicine together until you symptoms improve. Other possible causes for the symptoms you are telling me about include; Metabolic syndrome and adrenal fatigue. If you are happy with the practitioner you have chosen follow through the protocol for at least 8 weeks or inquire on the other 2 possible causes that I have listed.

I have a question that I hope you can answer for me.
My boyfriend has little sex drive and wishes to increase it but he wants to do it naturally is there a herb or a natural way for him to do it?
Thank You.
Dear T,
I would recommend having your boyfriend find a naturopath or other licensed healthcare provider that can run blood tests and check his hormonal levels and then use natural supplements that will balance and repair the underlying cause of the libido issue.
Please search our database for a practitioner in your area.

My daughter will be 9 yrs old soon. She was diagnoised with H.Pyloric Bacterium and Peptic Ulcers.
Her treatment requires Zithromax for 2 weeks, Prilosec once daily, and Children’s Pepto Bismol chewables. As a last resort, I went to a local health store and was informed that the antibiotic will not rid the bacterium (parasite) and will cause other problems such as, yeast infection. I also, was informed that the Prilosec will make her ulcers worse in the long run. They suggested slippery elm and detoxifier for children.She said I should also, try a parasite removal remedy after the antibiotics. What do you recommend for my daughter?
Thank You
Dear M,
I believe that the best course of action for these types of cases are to treat with the antibiotic and use diet changes, good enzymes and probiotics to restore the digestive tract. I know that you can reduce the pylori bacteria naturally but the quickest and most effective approach is to use western medicine in combination with complimentary support.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY LIVER ENZIMES ARE VERY HIGH AND HAS RAISED SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE DOCTOR HAS ME SET UP FOR A BIOPSY NEXT WEEK. WHAT HOMEOPATHIC MEDS ARE AVAILABLE THAT WOULD HELP ME?
I JUST ORDERED FROM NATURAL HOMEOPATHIC A PRODUCT THAT HAS DANDALIEON, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR THE LIVER. I DON’T DRINK, DO DRUGS OR HAVE HEP.C OR ANY THING ELSE THAT WOULD STAND OUT AS A REASON. I AM ALSO NOT OVER WEIGHT. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL. AGE 51,
THANK YOU.
Dear P,
Thank you for your question. I would advise getting your biopsy results before doing anything naturally. It is nice to know what you are dealing with specifically and then creating a protocol to your specific needs.
I might also suggest, depending on the outcome of the testing that you find a homeopath in your area to take your case and that way you have someone with whom to follow through with. If there is no specific diagnosis revealed, I and others out there have very good liver support products, which can be used in combination with a complete supplemental program to support not only the liver but the eliminatory system.

My grandson started day care, he is 15 mos., and never was sick, or on any medecine, they say they all get sick. We keep him home tell he is well before sending him back, like a week or two. Then he went back and the flu was there while he was gone, and sure enough the next day he is throwing up and is out again. What can he take to build his immune system if that could be the problem?
Dear N,
Thank you for your question. It is very normal for children to contract everything that is going around as this is how they build an immune system that they will need for the rest of their lives.
Without knowing if your grandson was breast fed or not and what his present diet is, it is difficult to give specific recommendations, but you could try giving him a children’s acidophilus daily for 2 weeks. This should be given on an empty stomach and with water. This will help with the part of his immune system that fights off viral infections.
You might also try a children’s liquid Echinacea to support healthy immune response. From a dietary stand point, be sure that he is getting fresh fruits and vegetables in his diet and avoiding a high carbohydrate diet will help keep him strong and healthy.

I stopped smoking 1 year ago but I am still caughing in the morning. I had X- rays and everything seems to be ok. The doctor thinks it’s Asthma and prescribed the pumps but this is not working for me …What can I do???
Dear L,
Thank you for your question. I am not sure how long you smoked before quitting but it can take years to clear and repair the damage caused by smoking.
I would suggest looking at clearing all possible allergens out of the environment, cleaning air filters and ducting relating to heating and air conditioning, using an air filter in your bedroom especially at night.
You may also need to remove any possible food allergens from the diet which will reduce the amount of mucous produced by the body. Taking food based vitamins, and Omega’s will also help to strengthen the body along with nutritional support for the lungs.

I am 37 years old and 4 year of married life and i am pure vegge. No smoking, no alcohol.
Little summary: I had undergone surgery 1 1/2 year ago to clear the blocks. After that also i did not get any counts. More over my semen qty is too low and high viscous. In the lab they say it is difficult to carry on semen test with such a low qty. I do not have any sex related problem.
Doctors are suggesting for IVF but we are not ready both mentally and financially. As i have already tried all sorts of medicines and have spent a lot for this. My wife has no problem, her periods are regular.
So, could you please tell me is it possible to cure my problem and have a baby. If possible pl. advise me the proper medication.
Both of us are tensed as we both are getting aged. My wife is at 30 now.
Kindly let me know if you need any other details from my end.
Recently one of the homeopathy doctor has advised for R41 + diamiana q.
Will these works or do you have any other combination.
Thanks
Dear P,
Thank you for the question and all of the supporting information.
I would suggest trying the protocol recommended by the homeopathic doctor and giving it a little time to work. Neither you nor your wife is old as yet and you really do have time to give a homeopathic protocol time to work.
My experience with homeopathy in these situations is that it will take a year, so relax, take a break from worry and allow the remedies to work with your body. With your wife only 30 you can always do IVF down the road.
