Dr. Saunders’ Easy DETOX Program – For Life!

Strolling through a vitamin aisle or searching on the internet will bring a very wide array of products and services for detoxification.

Some are potions of multiple herbs and foods. Some are simple such as vinegar. Diets of all kinds are advocated. Other detox modalities include enemas, saunas, foot pads and so much more! How do we make sense of all this?

Chemicals are everywhere.  Our air and water are filled with thousands of toxins, even prescription drugs have been found in the water supply.  In some cases, these toxins can build up in our bodies and cause us to feel bad, sick, or just plain yuck. It turns out we don’t always have control over what’s in our air, food and water.

The “Home Cure” for Celiac Disease

Heather came in to the office with “fatigue.”  She has felt tired for years.  She has been to other doctors and found to have normal thyroid and other hormones. No cause of her fatigue had been found.  She also had mild asthma and allergies, as well as some bloating when she eats.  We performed a blood test for antibodies against gluten and they were positive, so she started on a Gluten-free diet.  Over the next several months Heather was relieved of all her symptoms.  She even had dry skin and hair that resolved on the diet.  She was eating well, but was able to lose weight.  She had the energy to get through the day, and was able to quit using her inhalers and nasal spray.

In studies done on “Celiac disease,” it seems that about one percent of every population that eats wheat has gluten intolerance.  Many of them have little or no intestinal problems, but manifest this allergy in other ways, such as with Heather.

Dr. Saunders’ Kick The Habit Plan To Quit

 

Over a hundred years ago Mark Twain quipped, “It’s easy to quit smoking. I’ve done it hundreds of times.”  The concept of quitting a habit is as old as people, but smoking is one habit that seems especially difficult to overcome.  I have patients who quit methamphetamines, heroin and alcohol, but cannot overcome the tobacco habit.  They tell me it is the hardest thing.

One patient was able to quit when he got throat cancer, but only because he hated the tracheostomy tube so much and knew he would never smoke again if he did not beat the cancer odds. Others with this same problem actually smoke through the tube!

The methods and ways people quit are varied, almost as the number of quitters.  Some medications are used, but these were mostly created for a different purpose. When drug testing was being done on these medications, the statistical analysis showed that a greater number of smokers quit in the active medicine group than in the placebo group.  The pharmaceutical company then decided to market this effect of the medicine instead of the intended use, such as anti-depressant.  There are patches, pills, electronic cigarettes, creams and all manner of physical assistance to help quit smoking.

Numbness, Tingling and Pain in Feet?

 

Q: I have sporadic numbness, tingling, and pain on the outer thigh that has started to migrate to my feet. Just like when your foot falls asleep. MRIs are normal and neurologist thinks it is all in my head. Any information would be appreciated. - Tracy

A: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a general term that refers to disorder of the structure and function of peripheral motor, sensory and autonomic nerves. It is a common occurrence and affects approximately 20 million people in the United States. Neuropathy typically results in numbness, tingling and pain that can occur episodically or continuously, normally in the extremities.
