• Torn ACL at 1/11/12 11:14 AM
  • Hi Our daughter, Morgan 14 years old, tore her ACL on 1.5.12. She will be having surgery in 2-3 weeks. Do you recommend any supplements for her to take before the surgery and after to help the healing process and also to prevent the other one from tearing. Morgan weighs
    138 pounds. Thank you for your time. Julie
    
  • Hi Julie - Big topic here but I have some information. Before surgery, make sure to get some Arnica Montana homeopathic along with Ruta Graveolans in a potency of 200C and 6x. Have her take 3 pellets of each the morning of surgery and again after surgery. She should continue to take both in the form of 6x and 200C just before the onset of pain - at the most mild of symptoms. My wife had ankle surgery and needed no drugs for pain using this protocol. After surgery: Optimal Turmeric: consider taking 2 capsules in the every 4 to 6 hours to help reduce inflammation and pain. Here is a study which proves my point: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21671126 Here is the turmeric you should use as it is very effective. Using inferior forms of turmeric will provide limited benefit. http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-turmeric-100-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html Ligament Restore: consider taking 2 capsules three times daily with food for two weeks and then reduce to 2 capsules twice daily after that: http://www.healthegoods.com/ligament-restore-120-capsules-pure-encapsulations.html In order to prevent the other one from tearing, need to evaluate the muscles around her knee and likely strengthen them - her quadriceps especially. She must maintain flexibility by stretching and using electrolytes. A drink mix that I recommend athletes all the time is: In a one liter stainless steel water bottle, mix the following: - filtered water - 1 scoop of Optimal Vitamin C Powder - 3 capfuls of Electrolyte Concentrate - 1 scoop of D-Ribose Drink a bit before exercise, during and after. Ribose is here: http://www.healthegoods.com/d-ribose.html Optimal Vitamin C Powder is here: http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-vitamin-c-powder.html Electrolyte Concentrate is here: http://www.healthegoods.com/electrolyte-concentrate-20-fl-ounces-bottle-bodybio.html The taste is excellent and will prevent your kid from wanting the inferior energy drinks. Their performance will also increase. Best Dr Ben

• hair vitamin at 1/13/12 2:50 PM
  • Hello. I am looking for a good hair vitamin complex for both my 27 year old daughter and my 60 year old husband. My husband's hair is getting pretty thin these days. Is there anything you would recommend that they both can take? Or, do they need different complexes?
  • Hello - Hair growth depends on various factors - protein, B vitamins, iron, stress, testosterone levels, family traits. Methionine does appear to help protect the hair follicles from oxidation and damage. Here is a study to prove it: http://www.fasebj.org/content/23/7/2065.full.pdf Methionine should be taken along with Sublingual Active B12 with Methylfolate though in order to prevent homocysteine build up. Methionine turns into homocysteine which is a bad compound for the body. B12 and methylfolate keep it in check. I also recommend you consider taking Biotin 5000 - 1 capsule a day with or without food: http://www.healthegoods.com/biotin-5-90-vegetarian-capsules-by-seeking-health.html For your husband, taking BioProstate by Biogenesis will help slow hair loss by reducing testosterone. If his testosterone levels are high, this increases hair loss. If he is up at night urinating frequently or has difficulty starting to urinate, these are signs of BPH or prostate enlargement. BioProstate helps with this - and with hair loss. http://www.healthegoods.com/bioprostate-120-capsules-biogenesis-nutraceuticals.html Both need to be taking Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health in order to provide basic nutrients in their highly effective forms: http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-multivitamin-240-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html Consider taking 3 capsules in the AM with breakfast and 3 at lunch. If this is too difficult for either of them, have them take Optimal Multivitamin Chewable instead - and chew one tablet with breakfast and one at lunch: http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-multivitamin-60-chewable-tablets-seeking-health.html Keep me posted. There are other things which can help as well - but try these first. Best Dr Ben

• Are Methionine and Sam-e interchangeable? at 5/3/12 1:37 PM
  • Can I switch from Sam-e to Methionine? Sam-e keeps my mood up and without it I am highly irritable and rarely happy. Can I take Methionine instead. It is very costly to take the Sam-e but I need to have the same results. I currently take Homocystex (3 per day).

  • Hello - 

    Consider taking HomocysteX Plus along with Magnesium Plus.

    HomocysteX Plus has two additional nutrients which HomocysteX does not:

    - Betaine as TMG- Vitamin B2

    These two nutrients further support the production of SAMe - especially Betaine.

    Magnesium is a necessary cofactor for SAMe production and vitamin B6 is needed for neurotransmitter production. Both of these are found in Magnesium Plus.

    Magnesium Plus: Consider taking 2 in the morning with breakfast and 2 in the evening with dinner.HomocysteX Plus: Consider taking 1-2 in the morning before breakfast and 1-2 before lunch time.

     Try these two suggestions and report back in 1 month. If it works well, all set. If not, we can make some changes.

    In health,

    Dr Ben
