I’m really intrigued about your natural toenail fungus soak–it’d be not only good for my feet but also just to sit still every day–could have a beer too!

Anyway, I’m pretty healthy and strong except I have muscle tension. I'm a feldenkrais teacher and so do some feldenkrais every day. I’ve always been strong and active. I’ve been a mountain climber, dog musher, now I ride horses, today I rode 7 horses (about 10 hours), I’m tired but I feel good. Except for the tight muscles which have plagued me for years. I’m wondering about cell salts. Also about magnesium which I’ve taken before but I’m not good at taking supplements–it’s hard enough to eat lots of fruits and veggies and cook once in a while… and sometimes when I get on a supplement kick I'll take them for a while and one day I’ll look at them and think yuk–it’s like they turn my stomach.

The only other complaints I have really are sinus problems (I live in central OR in the junipers–also I’m ordering a neti pot) and the ...

Suffer from lactose intolerance and want it gone?

You are not alone.

There are three treatment options for treating lactose intolerance:

Lactose Intolerance affects nearly 25% of the US population or 1 in 9 people.1

Knowing how the lactase enzyme operates and how it is produced is the key to effectively treating lactose intolerance.

At birth, we have high levels of the lactase enzyme produced by cells located in the small intestine. However, as we age, these cells produce less and less lactase enzyme.

As lactase enzyme levels drop due to decreased production, symptoms of lactose intolerance appear and increase in severity over time.

Symptoms of lactose intolerance occur after eating anything which contains lactose.

Lactose-containing foods is not limited to dairy produc...

Q. I am writing on behalf of a family member.  This young girl has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.  She is suffering and spent several weeks in the hospital recently.  The doctors have told her parents that they want to treat her with some kind of chemotherapy, but they prefer a less invasive treatment.  The doctor's told them they'd see them when she needed emergency surgery.  So, I am hoping that you can recommend a regime that would be helpful for her.  Many thanks.  I look forward to hearing from you.

A. Suggestions to Naturally Relieve Crohn's Disease by Dr. Ben

  When properly treated, Crohn's disease can be kept in nearly full remission. I have had numerous patients completely resolve their condition with this protocol.

This is the best protocol I've had with Crohn's. It is the best protocol when followed. That is an important point. One must adhere to it and not slack off. Inflammatory bowel diseases strike hard and fast. Unless they are constantly being quieted down and heal...

Q: How good is Herbal Melange for H Pylori infection?

Answer:

Hi there -

Herbal Melange may provide effective results against Helicobacter pylori. I have never applied it clinically but it sure makes sense that it would help. Herbal Melange contains high amounts Humic Acid. Humic acid is known to eradicate harmful viruses and bacteria.

Consider taking Herbal Melange 3 times a day in about 1 Tablespoon doses on an empty stomach. This consistent dosing schedule may keep the Helicobacter pylori from repopulating the stomach.

I have read research discussing the benefits of Manuka Honey and Helicobacter pylori. Considering eating a few teaspoons a day of Manuka honey to eradicate Helicobacter pylori.

Taking Lactobacillus acidophilus in high doses has been shown to effectively eradicate Helicobacter pylori in 6 out of 14 patients. This is clinically a very successful outcome. If adding additional strains of lactobacillus such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus salivarius, add...

Question:
Dr. Ben,

I have flat warts on my leg, hundreds of them, but most people would never know because you can barely see them unless I'm out in the sun then you might just notice a few spots on my leg. A few have spread to my belly and a couple to my arm.

What is so mysterious, is my sister has them too. She lives in Louisiana and at the time five years ago, she came to see me in Missouri, we were sitting outside and she said I have these little warts all over the top of my leg. I said that is weird because so do I. Now we live hundreds of miles apart and see each other maybe once a year, so how could this happen to both of us. I am 45 and she is 43 as of date.

I have been told I could never get rid of them and then I have been told they will go away on their own. Well I have tried everything. I eat lots of garlic for my immune system and now am using an infrared sauna hoping maybe that will help. My sister has had some of hers frozen off by a doctor but it left scars.

Dr....
