Hi Everyone!

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, and Dr. Bob is here today to share about the importance of the thyroid gland as well as the protocol we use at our practice and with his online clients.

We always follow the numbers based on the results from a thyroid lab test, including the Thyroid Serum Panel.

Dr. Bob's Top Health "Secrets"

Dr. Bob has a few health “secrets” for you!

Dr. Bob has a few health “secrets” for you!

Hello Everybody! 

This is Dr. Bob DeMaria. I am going to give you some Dr. Bob "Health Secrets." 

Are you ready? 

The first secret I want to give you is iodine. I learned this so many years ago. I know that people like to go swimming in swimming pools, they like to hang out in hot tubs, they like to take showers and brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste. Well, you may also be consuming tap water from your municipal sink source of water. And those are not necessarily all bad, but the real challenge is that the water today has been treated with chlorine, bromine, and fluorine, and guess what it does? It competes with iodine. And I have found from my experience that the modern day scurvy is lack of iodine.

What's scurvy, Dr. Bob? 

Lack of vitamin C, and a lot of English and other sailors died of it. So if you or your loved ones are spending time in the pool or using municipal water, you could have an iodine deficiency resulting in a low thyroid, which will cause thinning hair, cold hands, cold feet, constipation, high cholesterol. If you are using a pool or any of those sources, you may consider getting a bottle of Iodizyme from us. All adults could take at least one tablet a day. And if you have children that are 100 lbs or less, I would do at least a half a tablet every day.

Now if you get any kind of reaction with the iodine, “What kind of reaction Dr. Bob?"

Skin rash, flu-like symptoms. It's not the iodine per se, the iodine is pushing the bromine, fluorine and chlorine out of your body. And over time it should go away. 

We're going to switch gears now to another little secret. The Bio-B Complex or Bio B-100's

Do you cry easy? Do you have sore muscles after exercise? And here's the big question, do mosquitoes like you? 

You say, “Well what do you mean do mosquitoes like you?” 

If I was to go out for a walk with myself, I never get bothered by mosquitoes because I have enough B vitamins in my body, especially B1 or thiamin. I know a lot of you watching me right now will say, “Dr. Bob, mosquitoes just love me.” 

Well, first, if mosquitoes love you, obviously you'll want to start taking some Bio-B Complex at least three a day. And you're also going to get yourself a bottle of the Kare Spray for the itch. But to help prevent that, I would encourage you to make sure you have enough B vitamins, especially if you're going to be outdoors for any length of time. 

Some of you could have what we commonly, what you have commonly told us, the summer cold. Well, the summer cold oftentimes is not a cold at all. It's an allergy. So we don't promote peanut butter, dairy, wheat products, probably pizza being the worst combination of all of them or a donut. They're not bad foods, but what those foods do is they create distress to your system like it's a foreign invader. So we encourage you to use some Histoplex-AB. It's kind of like a natural antihistamine. You could take two or three or four every day. But your ultimate goal, besides backing off those foods, dairy, peanut butter, sugar, and wheat, you're going to want to make sure that you're in the office to have your neck checked, your cervical spine, especially the upper cervical spine, because if that's out of alignment, you're going to have some nasal congestion. 

Probably the biggest thrill that I had in my life was many many years ago, almost 25 years ago, a young lady got off of our chiropractic adjusting table, she looked me straight in the eye and guess what she said? "That was faster than Benadryl!" That's amazing, isn't it? 

Here's another very interesting product and I had a conversation with someone today, it's called Li-Zyme Forte. Li-Zyme Forte is tremendous when you're under stress. Any of you out there, right now have a little bit of stress in your life, what Li-Zyme Forte does, when it hits your intestine, it becomes acetylcholine for your brain. If you're under severe mental stress, do you know you could literally take one of these an hour for about a two-week time period. It's a plant-based trace mineral. We see tremendous results with this. It's not addictive, but it's going to help calm you down. You don't need to take it forever. You can take two or three every day, but if your stress increases, you're going to want to add some Li-Zyme Forte. I'm going to close with this product. How many of you out there love sugar? 

Dr. Bob, of course I love sugar!

Cake, strawberry shortcake, cookies. You crave sugar and craving sugar is not necessarily the best because it compromises your immune system. Well Cr-Zyme, it's a trace mineral called chromium, and I've had people that have to take up to nine a day to stop the craving for sugar. But if you're having sugar cravings, Cr-Zyme, start with three or four every day. That will help stop the cravings. But to be logical, you don't want anybody bringing in that sweet pastries home because it's going to be an enticement to you. So we have a variety of summer tools that I know will help make a difference so you'll be able to enjoy your summertime. 

So get out and play with your friends and family.
