Q. I have ulcerated veins with open sores on my ankle.  Will French Green Clay help heal these open sores?

A. Hello -

I don't recommend the use of French Green Clay on open wounds. As a poultice on the other parts of your legs where you have problems, but no open sores, French Green Clay may be useful.

Instead of French Green Clay for the open sores on your ankle, I suggest you consider five things.

What is Magnesium Stearate?

Depends on who you ask. To some magnesium stearate is nothing. To some it is everything.

I will let you decide.

But not without scientific facts being presented. Let's get started.

I know how you got here. The same way as we all do.

Did you look at the ingredients panel on your supplement and see that it contained all the nutrients you wanted?

The sales rep at the local store said it was the right product for you because of those nutrients. You were sold.

A few weeks later, you feel no change. No improvements. You feel ripped off and instead of the hassle of going back to the store, you look at the ingredients panel again.

You see the ingredients panel and given the research you've done in the last couple weeks on the nutrient, you also feel that it is the right product for you.

Then, wait, what is that? There is another panel and it is called:

Tired of taking pills every time you want to drink milk or eat something with dairy in it? 

Tired of diarrhea, nausea and headaches associated with lactose intolerance?

Not only is this expensive, but it is a hassle. Also if you forget to take the lactase enzyme before a meal, you have to deal with the consequences of diarrhea, headaches and nausea. Not fun.

There are two solutions for treating lactose intolerance

1. Short term fast acting and
   
2. Long term slower acting.

It is not possible to obtain the long term solution of lactose intolerance without having to stop dairy for a month unless the short term solution is utilized in conjunction.

Do you want to avoid dairy for one month?

I didn't think so.

Here is how to effectively treat lactose intolerance long term without having to stop enjoying products which contain dairy:

Q. I've been taking flax oil, chlorophyll drops, and probiotics to help clean out my bowel and digestive system and relieve some constipation and  easy bloating, which I've always been prone to. It's working, but I still feel some blockage and am wondering if there is something i am missing. Should i up my fiber intake? Am I neglecting my liver? etc. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You!

A. Hello -

Great to hear that you are experiencing some improvements with constipation and bloating. Nice work!

These symptoms are difficult for many to get a handle on. I have some pointers and suggestions which may help relieve your symptoms of constipation and bloating completely.

Are you drinking enough filtered water? If not, make sure you get at least 8 cups a day of water in your. Space it throughout the day.

Have a cup of water right when you wake up and one an hour or so before you go to sleep. That takes care'

Q: I suffer from acid reflux and take the Gastric Repair Complex. It works but, I also suffer from gas bloating, constipation and upset stomach. Will UltraGest help better or could I take both?

A: Hello -

I am glad to hear that Gastric Repair Complex is helping reduce your symptoms of acid reflux.

It makes sense that you also have gas, bloating, constipation and upset stomach as these symptoms are commonly found along with acid reflux.

UltraGest may significantly help gas, bloating, constipation and upset stomach because low stomach acid is associated with these symptoms.

In fact, low

Q. What Probiotic is best used to treat Candida (yeast condition)?

A. I am glad to see you thinking of a long term resolution to treating candida instead of just killing it.

I cannot tell you how many patients, and doctors, think that simply killing candida will make it go away for good.

Absolutely wrong thinking.

The best probiotic to help treat candida is one that contains multiple species of beneficial bacteria and in very high amounts.

This way, the multi-species beneficial bacteria have a better chance to take hold and implant themselves into the small and large intestine thereby altering the pH and killing the candida. In order to alter the pH and have the beneficial bacteria crowd out and kill the candida, very high amounts are required. When I say high amounts I mean in the 100's of billions.

There is one probiotic that contains 12 species of beneficial bacteria in high amounts. One half teaspoon of

Q: What do I use for Ringworm on the scalp on 3 children under 5 years of age?

A:  I recommend using Saprox Natural Sulfuric Antifungal Mud by Torf Spa on the scalp for all ages. Saprox wont have to be left on the scalp for as long with a little one. Apply the Saprox in a thin even layer. Let stay for about 5 to 10 minutes - until it is just about dry. Then remove the Saprox with a damp cloth.

Consider applying baby oil to the scalp after the Saprox is removed.

I highly recommend the use of a shower chlorine filter or a bath chlorine filter as well. Chlorine is damaging to proteins - and skin is made of

Seeking Natural Products to Heal Irritated Rectum

Dear Dr. Ben,

I saw a specialist yesterday for "leaky stools", i.e. passing small amounts of soft stool inadvertently. The doctor recommended Metamucill.

I'd rather try one of your products for firming stool and for healing my irritated rectum. What do you recommend?

Sincerely,

S.B.

Suggestions to Naturally Treat "Leaky Stools" by Dr. Ben

Hi S.B.,

First off, good thinking on your part to be proactive in trying to identify the root cause instead of just treating the symptom.

Leaking stools can be due to a variety of causes; however, a good place to start is with a potent probiotic.

I highly recommend that you try Seeking Health's ProBiota 12 Powder.

Physiological pain and Functional pain are two major types of pain defined recently by a resident doc of mine. It is a great way to figure out the cause of pain rather quickly. The definitions and possible treatments below are my thoughts on them. Do not treat yourself without seeking the advice of a physician. Simply take some notes from this post and bring it to your doc or tell them what you 'found on the internet'. They love that.

Enjoy the information - it took some time writing this and it is jam packed with information so you may have to read and re-read to make heads or tails of some areas.

 Physiological Pain

• No wound or trauma occurred.
• After long hours of being semi-still - as sleeping - pain gets worse.
• Increased movement helps the pain go away.
• Occurs in many ill health states - like arthritis, maldigestion, diabetes, malnutrition, dehydration, migraines, and headaches.

• Limit the intake of sugar, dairy, red meats, nuts, beans.
• Go to town munching on vegetables, fruits, organic chicken and organic eggs, brown rice, wild red or pink salmon and pure water.
• Avoid farmed fish!
• Avoid the Dirty Dozen Fruits and Vegetables! Eat the safe ones!
• Exercise daily for 15-30 minutes - any form whatever you like. Ease up to 30 minutes.
• Get 8 hours of sleep - extremely important.
• Drink pure water - filtered in a non-toxic water bottle

• Too much ingestion of vitamin D, too much milk.
• Too much ingestion of antacids.
• Burnett's syndrome.
• Cancers - some cancers cause high levels of calcium.
• Hyperparathyroidism - your parathyroid glands are not balanced due to cancer, low blood phosphate or other issues.

• Prickly pear reduced the nausea, dry mouth and appetite loss of being hungover.
• Prickly pear reduced the amount of c-reactive protein by 40%.
• Prickly pear reduced the risk of a severe hangover by 50%.

Those are some very solid numbers.

On your next drinking event, consider having Prickly Pear Cactus Juice on your shelf at home. It keeps for a long time if frozen in little cubes. '

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: removed dairy products from my wife's diet and her arthritis pain went way down - to no pain or stiffness.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics states that children under 1 years old should avoid dairy products as it causes the intestines to bleed.
• Humans lose the capacity to digest milk, as over time, many of us lose the lactase enzyme.
• There are other ways to obtain calcium beyond milk - collards, soybeans, tofu, sardines, OJ.
• Slows digestion due to milk being mucous forming and high in fat.
• Contains high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids which cause full body inflammation.

Why do they all seem to work? It doesn't make sense as they are all different.

Or are they?

Think about it. What is the one thing they have in common?

Conscious eating.

People on these diets or eating lifestyles are focused on what they eat. Therefore, they avoid eating a bunch of processed foods, high saturated fats, sugar or alcohol.

If one is focused and conscious of what foods they put into their system, they will likely lose weight, sleep better, have more energy and improved mood.

So - forget the diets. Just be conscious of what you buy, where you go to eat and what you eat. That's all. No secret and no fads.

Because these two tops are stainless steel where it connects with the bottle and where it touches the contents. The Sport Top is all polypropylene #5 (which is supposed to be the safest plastic). The Sippy spout is made from polypropylene #5 and also where baby sucks is silicon - which is supposedly quite safe.

What is zinc and why is it important?

Zinc is an essential trace element needed by all forms of life. In the human body, over 300 enzymes require zinc for proper functioning. It is also estimated that 3000 of the over 10,000 proteins in our bodies contain zinc. Additionally, our bodies contain about 2-3g of this mineral. There are no specific storage sites known for zinc and so a regular supply in the diet is required. About 60% of our body's zinc is found in muscle, 30% in bone and about 5% in our skin. Particularly high concentrations of zinc are also found in the prostate gland.

What is the best way to increase our zinc intake?

The current Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for zinc is 15 milligrams per day. Short term doses of 40mg/day are often beneficial but taking large quantities of zinc (50 mg/day or more) over a period of weeks can interfere with copper bioavailability and can cause toxicity and can suppress the immune'

Farmed Salmon.

AVOID IT like you would crawling through a sewage tunnel.

Read the full report from the Environmental Working Group.

This website kicks incredible butt in terms of providing the latest research on food safety. I highly recommend visiting their site often.

Eat wild alaskan salmon.

The Red Salmon and Pink Salmon are the best options as they are not as big of fish. The bigger the fish the more they eat other fish. More a fish eats other fish, the more PCB's and heavy metals they bioaccumulate. The more big fish and farmed fish you eat, the more PCB's and heavy metals you bioaccumulate. The more you bioaccumulate, especially as a woman, the more your future child is born with.

Proven. Fact. No BS.

If you see Atlantic Salmon - do not buy it. It is farmed fish.


Hopefully some day we will convince the FDA

All you Morning People out there kill me - I've always wondered how you do it.

Now I know.

I was a Night Owl through and through. After a few months of changing habits and supporting my adrenals, I've shifted to a Morning Person. Well - almost.

Morning People have their cortisol secreted in large amounts in morning. It is cortisol which wakes you up in the morning. If one is healthy and their adrenal glands are functioning properly, they can get out of bed in the morning without a hitch.

However, if you're stressed, working too much, no vacation and high anxiety, then your adrenal glands are getting depleted and cannot produce the cortisol in high enough amounts in the morning time. Thus, you have to literally drag yourself out of bed and into the shower.

Night Owl people have cortisol spiking in the evening which lets them go and go. This is great if you have a night shift or need to study late. Many medical students or'

I've seen too many asthma patients suffering recently. Our air is becoming more polluted daily leading to more asthmatics.

Doctors commonly forget one simple suggestion:
Drink 8-10 cups of filtered water daily.

Why is this important?
Water assists in thinning the thick sticky mucous which pains so many asthmatics.  See the inflamed bronchial tube filled with mucous? 

Water also assists in diluting blood histamine. Histamine is what causes sudden fast inflammatory reactions. If one can block histamine, then sudden immune reactions can also be blocked.

If they are elevated, some docs will put patients on thyroid meds which don't treat the cause but they may improve your symptoms.

The last four patients I have seen in the teaching clinic have proved to me how essential it is to get a dental history. Dental history meaning: mercury fillings, copper fillings, root canals, tooth abcesses, bleeding gums and so on.

She just came in for her first visit so no treatment yet. We referred her to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy to rule out some dangerous conditions first. She is due to come in soon and we will begin our treatment plan. Ill let you know what we find.

I see hypothyroid patients every clinic shift. It should not be unsuspected.

Hypothyroidism is rampant.

I thought colds, diarrhea, coughs were supposed to be quite common in a day's work at clinic.

Seems my perception of what a doc sees day in and day out is changing.

Being hypothyroid is not as simple as just taking Synthroid or Armour thyroid. There is a cause behind it.

As a naturopathic clinician, we are supposed to determine the cause yet I am finding that half of my supervisors simply fall into to prescribing pills for it without looking for a true cause.

Question:

HI I am looking for a broad spectrum probiotic to give my child aged three. She has no specific ailments, so this is just for general health . is she old enough to share the same probiotics we consume now?

Thanks,

Answer by Dr Ben

Hi Judy -

For your daughter aged 3, I recommend that she take ProBiota 12 Powder.

She is now able to take the same probiotics as adults.

If your daughter was aged from infant to 2 years old, I would have recommended ProBiota Infant.

Simply give your daughter about 1/2 the adult dosage. A 1/4 teaspoon contains 100 billion beneficial bacteria in 12 strains. This is the most potent
