@Stella we have a recipe for chicken stock HERE but it’s essentially the same process. You’ll want to skim the scum and fat that comes up to the surface once it starts to boil.

Let us know how it turns out!

Hi @Naveed Aslam – our protocol “Rapid Relief for Allergies/Congestion” can help you with that.

When quercetin is not enough on its own, I usually recommend stinging nettle leaf and butterbur as well. Their mode of actions, studies, and suggested dosages are discussed in the protocol as well.

@Bianca Chalfoun what will help you make a more informed decision is to know the side effects and risks of acquiring chicken pox naturally as a teenager or adult vs. the risks of getting the chicken pox vaccine.

Here are the manufacturer-listed adverse reactions of the chicken pox vaccine: https://www.justtheinserts.com/chickenpox/ (GBS is… Read more

Hi @Yasmin atassi – all of the products are actually linked in the document if you click on them. Please let me know if they aren’t.

IAG Powder is by Biotics Research. If you can’t access Fullscript, here’s a replacement on iHerb. The main ingredient is arabinogalactan. https://iherb.pxf.io/75vNBA

GI Detox is by Biocidin Botanicals. It’s … Read more

@KK absolutely – inside the Gut Health Masterclass course in the Liver/Gallbladder Support lesson HERE.

@KK I avoid seed oils in general, especially if it’s a food product that was processed with heat at any stage of processing, because they are polyunsaturated fatty acids which are very unstable to heat, therefore very prone to oxidation and can become a source of oxidative stress in the body.

This topic is also nuanced, which I touch on in… Read more

@Nathalie Khoury great! Please ensure that you completely eliminate a food group 100% for at least a month before considering a reintroduction. It has to be a 100% removal; no cheating or small bites here and there. And THIS handout provides guidance on reintroductions if you need it.

@Iryna Klevetenko please checkout Dr Sarah Rashmi’s clinic “Thrive Wellbeing Center”. And here are reviews.

@Nathalie Khoury That email came from my personal account, not B Better. If you want to be added to my personal mailing list, scroll down to the footer of my website HERE and click on the “Yes Please!” button to add your details in the pop-up.

@Nathalie Khoury migraines can have many contributing factors. You can share the following Symptom Dictionary handout with her to explore what these are (click HERE). From my experience, when the basics are ruled out (hydration, sleep, misalignments, nutrient deficiencies like magnesium, etc), it’s often due to hormonal changes, histamine… Read more

@Naveed Aslam I’m really sorry to hear this. Did the suppository help? If not, ask if it’s possible to do an enema to clear out her colon. It’s good that they’re keeping her well hydrated.

I’m not sure how helpful herbal remedies will be in her condition, but I’m going to share my reply to another member recently about ways to improve… Read more

@Annie Sye keep in mind that the kidneys are one of the main detoxification organs, so if any of his other detox organs are struggling, the kidneys will pick up the slack.

The liver is a main player when it comes to blood sugar regulation so not taking his medication and eating high glycemic foods will definitely put more strain on both… Read more

Hi @Iryna Klevetenko is your husband willing to make lifestyle changes and quit smoking/alcohol after receiving that diagnosis?

Although your husband wasn’t diagnosed with gout, I would like you to refer to the Gout symptom dictionary handout HERE, as it shares common contributing factors for high uric acid (called hyperuricemia).

Of… Read more

@Amliv Sotomayor not sure if you were on the live call with Dr. Perry Nickelston (aka Lymph Doc), but he’s amazing. You can find his session HERE if you want to integrate his Big 6 into your routine and teach it to your little guy too!

@Amliv Sotomayor the best biofilm disruptors are multi-enzymes taken away from meals like serrapeptase and nattokinase for example in the products I shared in my video above.

However, when it comes to biofilm disruption for Strep A specifically, I did a bit of research online to see if I can find something more targeted, and came up with … Read more

@Annie Sye they share the dose based on the child’s weight on their website HERE. I would only use it if necessary.

“Children may use 1 drop per 10 lbs. of body weight per day, divided into 2 doses.”

You can find it in Fullscript HERE with B Better’s 20% member discount.

@Naveed Aslam if you want to understand the mechanism better, I touch on how high stress/cortisol impacts many hormones including testosterone HERE in the Adrenal Balance course.

@Nathalie Khoury I just came across an interesting article (it’s very old, but noteworthy nonetheless!). It has to do with vitamin A and vitamin E supplementation reducing haze as a preventative approach before laser eye surgery.

Patients taking high dose vitamins E and A healed faster than did those taking placebos. In addition, the vitamin… Read more

Hi @Nathalie Khoury – we actually have a protocol that can help with that! Just click HERE to read through the suggestions. Silver hydrosol and the homeopathic drops are safe for children and adults. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@Lana Zambarakji I’m assuming you’re asking about what to do for support during and after the antibiotic treatment, correct?

If so, please take a look at this protocol HERE for suggestions.

Hi @Naveed Aslam – if budget allows, I would look for one that is certified organic.

And Daniel wrote a great article HERE sharing tips on what to look for when purchasing EVOO.

To answer your question about cooking with olive oil… it depends on the quality of the olive oil. The higher quality ones contain antioxidant properties that… Read more

@Reshmika Chandrashekar

First and foremost, invest in fans and dehumidifiers and keep them running all day long if you don’t already have them. It’s important to dry the areas that got wet as soon as possible and keep humidity/moisture low.

Contact Omar’s technician instead – I told him you’ll be reaching out. His name is Shahzad… Read more

@Yasmin Kottait B Better members get access to Fullscript and Amrita Nutrition (it’s a UK company that offers global shipping).

You can find details for setting up an account HERE for Fullscript and HERE for Amrita Nutrition.

Hi @Yasmin Kottait you didn’t mention if you’ve already started giving him the antibiotics or not, but it sounded to me as though you wanted to try avoiding them? Daniel gave you great advice if you’re choosing the antibiotic route.

But if you’re looking to support the virus naturally, then when my kids are sick with a viral infection, I… Read more

Hi @Misha – yes, you can find the link to that video HERE from our Interpreting Basic Blood Chemistry course.

@Amliv Sotomayor no – do not give him the natural antimicrobials if you’re giving him the antibiotics.

You didn’t mention if antibiotics were given so I was proving other natural options just in case.

HERE is the protocol that can support antibiotic therapy.

@Annie Sye thanks for the additional info. I’ll touch on the most important ones to address:

Is your family now beginning to see the connection between his diet and his condition? We MUST find a way to get your brother to agree to a strict gluten-free diet. Does he like to read? Would sharing the studies on the connection between gluten and… Read more

Hi @Sara – glad you’re doing ok after your procedure. We actually have an antibiotic support protocol in Protocols which you can find HERE.

Hope that helps answer all your questions.

@Seyma Wilschefski would you mind sharing these studies that you’re referring to because I’m not aware of a direct relationship between molybdenum and iron absorption.

Iron absorption is influenced by several factors, including the presence of other minerals and nutrients like vitamin C for example, which enhances iron absorption. But… Read more

@Misha unfortunately, I haven’t researched the risks and benefits for these vaccines in pregnancy, but I can direct you to a great website that discusses the risks mentioned in fine print on the inserts of common vaccines.

Here’s the one for DTAP.

As for RSV, I would reach out to Dr. Elana Roumell or Dr. Ari Calhoun who have put together a… Read more

@Yasmin atassi

I like the Klaire Labs infant probiotic. I also like the one by Smidge. They aren’t available in Dubai however, so they’ll need time to get here. If you want one locally available, check Life pharmacy for Udo’s toddler probiotic.

For the rash, if you don’t have Active Skin Repair (my favorite), you can also check the… Read more

@Yasmin atassi it’s a viral ailment, so you’re spot on about boosting her own immunity. If you’re still breastfeeding, continue doing so as your immunity will help hers.

Otherwise, you can take a look at this protocol HERE to see what I give my kids for immune support. Zinc in particular is well studied in its ability to inhibit viral… Read more

@Annie Sye there are many herbs and compounds that can help calm the body before sleep but many of them potentiate the action of those neurotransmitters which you can find listed on the last page of our Adaptogens: Adrenal Rescue handout HERE.

I did some further research on herbs/compounds that could be helpful in those with… Read more

@Moza Alsuwaidi I checked the link for the glucose video and it’s working for me. Here it is again. Let me know if it’s still not working for you.

Hi @Lana Zambarakji – supplements should be given on an individual basis based on their unique needs so it’s a difficult question to answer without knowing much else.

But what I would encourage you to do is use a resource like Examine.com to look up specific supplements for more information about the benefits, how it works, side effects,… Read more

@Sara you can find electrolyte options and the tutorial link for making sole below the “Forget to Drink” video HERE inside the Beginner’s Health Roadmap course.

Also, regarding IV therapies. I know Dr. Roze Bio Health offers them as well as DNA Health & Wellness.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Sarah Mohler – no unfortunately this test isn’t usually covered by insurance through an MD. It also doesn’t test for histamine sensitivity. Instead it checks for foods/additives that are causing an inflammatory immune response, and the progression of leaky gut. Did you watch our interview with the owner of KBMO, Mr. James White? If not,… Read more

@KK and in the meantime, here’s the direct video that was uploaded into the portal. Hope you can view that.

I believe you’re referring to THIS post on long covid hair loss correct? I shared 4 different mechanisms that can cause that to happen; 3 are nutrient related and stress is the fourth.

So if you’re still struggling post-covid, get the following markers checked:
• iron, ferritin, saturation %, TIBC
• CBC with differentials to check… Read more

was an HbA1C also measured?

With a clinically low neutrophil and lower WBC, this points to a chronic  viral challenge. Lymphocytes are more “specialized forces” that can handle viruses. The latest result with clinically high Lymphocytes is proof her body was trying to fight off an active viral infection. Perhaps a reactivation? Or… Read more

Hi  – how is your 6 year old feeling? What are her symptoms? With a virus, the best thing to do, as you rightly stated, is to support their immune system.

Hi – heart arrhythmias can be caused by a number of different root cause factors so without knowing anything else about your father’s health history and lifestyle habits, I will share the most common reasons and try to connect them to the few markers you’ve shared.

But first, please read through the possible root cause factors for high… Read more

Hi – I’ll reply to your questions one by one below:

1. Re cramps: it’s possible magnesium might be needed, but with muscle cramps during training, it’s usually dehydration and a need for electrolytes and potassium. But first consider the basics.

I know you’re both asking for a locally available brand, but my preference is still Xtrema cookware and they deliver worldwide. I’ve had my set for well over 15 years and they still look brand new. Downside is they’re heavy and fragile, so if it was knocked hard or dropped, it would chip or break.

The only other brand I know of that claims… Read more

Hi – the difficulty with fat burners is that there is very little evidence in their effectiveness beyond anecdotal reviews by users (and those who can profit from sales), and therefore the exact side effects are unknown.

A quick search on google scholar and Pubmed for Lipo 6 yields 0 results, and they claim it’s “proven”, but where?

And… Read more

have you seen the Fatty Acid Balance course? I share several brands of high quality omega-3 supplements depending on your dosage needs. Here’s the video you can watch on Omega-3 Supplements for more info.

did you search through AFMC? Only 10 come up. Although I do not know her personally, I have been on continuing education calls for practitioners with Nadia Hajjar Kawash and to be honest, AFMC is a pretty rigorous program (where I studied) so I know about the quality of education these practitioners receive and feel confident recommending them to you.

Hi – Dutch has several tests. Which one are you interested in pursuing specifically?

Since you live in the US, we’ve setup easy access to functional tests for B Better members.

Click here to access tests through Rupa Health and here for True Health Labs so you can compare prices as well.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
