00:07:44 - Are dark circles around the eyes that run in the family something that can be resolved by diet or other holistic approaches? by Mah Zad,

00:10:33 - Schizophrenia/ withdrawal from medication. Please tell me more about chiropractic and other alternative approaches to treating psychotic disorders and medication withdrawal symptoms.

What to do with akathisia and dyskinesia, should we have some medicines, or what to do during the attack? by Elzbieta Izabela Abel

00:16:13 - My mom and I started taking Methylene Blue about a month and a half ago and we both absolutely love it! I have even gotten off my antidepressant. At first, I was taking it pre-made in a Mason jar to work and I realized it kept causing the lid to rust on my jar within one day. Three weeks ago we started noticing the urge to urinate was sudden and strong to the point where you could almost pee your pants. Do you know if this is common for people to experience with Methylene Blue? Is it hurting our kidneys? We get our Methylene Blue from LifeBlud. by Heather Sperry

00:19:36 - Re-mineralizing distilled water. Is this possible to do to make it ok to drink regularly not just when detoxing? by Georgina Burniston

00:21:43 - Knee. I have worked with a chiropractor 3 times a week as well as PTs. I may have baker's cyst and fabella also, unclear diagnosis, and a failed hyaluronic injection in the joint as last resort. That increased pain tenfold with a lot of new pain. I had four accidents in 2020 falling on the knee three times. Severe pain putting any weight on it. Excellent nutrition, stress from being in so much pain. Any suggestions? by deb clark

00:27:30 - Thank you so much for your response to my question on my pronation and Haglund's deformity. Just as an update - I've gotten a trochanter belt and have started wearing it just recently. Do you approve of the Gonstead method? Would it be good for my and my dad's golf elbow? Also, have you heard of the Proprioceptive insoles from Posture Pro? Perhaps these would be helpful in my foot restoration plan. Also, you mentioned Proprioception with regard to my family member with tics. Could he benefit from insoles? His movements are not so much twitching as rhythmic. His tongue bounces like a "chewing the tongue" motion and his jaw juts forward and back over and over. He also has a propped open-mouth posture. He will see an allergist to see if he has allergies that are making nose breathing difficult. The ENT did not see structural reasons. by Christa

00:31:55 - Severe Food Allergies. If I eat anything besides meat, water, and salt, my heart rate jumps to 120-209 and I bloat so big I can hardly breathe. I miss the days when I could have an organic onion with some steak. I’ll sometimes cheat and eat an organic cooked carrot or vegetable and will have to take 1000 plus mgs of magnesium just to get my heart rate down to 100 and I’ll look pregnant for days. I’m sure it’s my nervous system. I’m so sick of not being able to eat. Any advice on how to overcome this? by Sarah Sheetz

00:36:09 - Do you know what the differences between ozone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are? Since they both work with oxygen, would they both have similar effects and benefits on the body? by Eugene JRL

00:39:15 - Heavy metals. I have high levels of arsenic and cadmium and a clean diet - water filters, etc. I do juice and smoothies with lots of greens - all organic. I am wondering if the high levels are coming from vegetables and soil since I consume so much. Any wisdom on the topic? by deb clark

00:43:07 - What can help with cerebral palsy in a child of 4 years? by Peter James
