Hi B & Daniel,

My 1 year old son got hand, foot and mouth disease. His fever is gone and the rash came in today on his legs, feet, hands and genitalia.

He’s having a hard time eating or nursing because of the lesions on his throat. Unfortunately, it’s really hard to convince him to consume liquids besides nursing on a regular basis and it is…

Hi Bernadette & Daniel,

I noticed that in the sore throat guide, it was recommended to take colloidal silver spray as a treatment since it is well-tolerated.

I was doing more research into it after purchasing it, especially since the Sovereign Silver brand claimed that Health Canada considers it an essential mineral and thus, it should be…

Thanks!

Hi B & Daniel,

Hope you’re both well

Since I gave birth 10 months ago, I’ve randomly started having periods of redness and itchiness on the face. My skin has also become very dry. It usually starts on the cheek/chin and then spreads throughout my face (with the exception of upper lip, forehead, and nose). I’m not sure what’s causing it

Initially,…

Hi,

What are some supplements or herbs that can help with epigastric pain? This doesn’t usually happen on a regular basis. Only when low-quality food is consumed like outside fried food.

Bowel movements are normal

Thanks

Hi

My baby is 8 months old and exclusively breastfed. We started solids at 5 months and since he was 6 months old, his stool pattern has changed quite a bit

Until 6 months of age, he pooped every day or every other day

From 6 months to 7 months, he started pooping only once a week but tbe color and consistency seemed normal (yellowish,…

I had a baby a few months ago and my sleep has inevitably taken a turn for the worst. My baby is exclusively breastfed and doesn’t take bottle well, so I’m up almost every 2 hours at night trying to feed him. I’ve also become a light sleeper after becoming a mother too.

Since then, I’ve noticed a lot of brain fog so issues recalling…

Hi all

– vaginal delivery

– being breastfed

What are some other things that…

Hi,

What are the contraindications for uva ursi when used in combination with d-mannose for treating UTIs? Any considerations when pregnant or nursing?

Thanks

They’re mandatory for the US green card.

Would love to hear your thoughts on what I can do to better support my body. Thanks!

Hi,

We have to take vaccines for immigration purposes – flu, covid booster, and TDAP.

I know some of these vaccines come with risks. Is there a way to mitigate the risks?

Are there any protocols I can do before or after to support my body during this process?

I’m also breastfeeding. Any considerations for that?

Thanks

Hi B & Daniel,

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant, and my provider recommended 125 mg iron infusions every week for five weeks, and I wanted to get your input on it.

 

I initially got my bloodwork at the end of July which pointed towards low iron levels. My lab results were:

Ferritin: 18 ng/dL

RBC: 3.80 / uL

Hb:… Read more

Thanks for your response.

I was not iron deficient pre-pregnancy and neither was I in my first trimester. My providers redid blood work at 27 weeks, which is when I was diagnosed with mild anemia.

I can attach the screenshot of the labwork and the reference ranges they provide, but the reference ranges are for normal situations and not…

Hi,

I check my body temperature everyday first thing in the morning for the BBT method to track ovulation. I’ve noticed that my body temperature (pre ovulation) tends to be in the lower range. It ranges from 35.8 – 36.3 C. It does go up as the day progresses.

It is pretty cold where I live (1-8 degrees C), and I don’t turn on the… Read more

Hi,

A friend said her thyroid levels are borderline hypothyroidism (still within the normal range, but close),  has cold hands and feet, and hair loss. I’m unsure of what labs she got, but I’m assuming it’s the traditional tests (TSH & T4). I presume this could indicate iodine deficiency. Would that be accurate?

She doesn’t want to… Read more

Hi,

Someone I know is struggling with chronic and recurring yeast infections because of high use of antibiotics and dysbiosis, and anti fungal medication does not help. I went through the symptom dictionary for it, and was wondering if there are supplements that the person can take for faster relief.

Thanks!

Has anyone experienced amenorrhea after mold exposure? I have fairly regular periods (unless something happens, like getting COVID, traveling to a different country, high stress), and I haven’t gotten a period for the past two months despite my lifestyle being better than it used to be (no processed sugar, exercising and walking regularly,… Read more
