YouTube Livestream Q&A Transcript, October 7, 2025

Question

“Hi Dr. Rita! Can a family member stop taking her statin medication cold turkey? 10 mg once daily. And will it reverse any cognitive decline caused by the med? Thank you.”[0:01:45]

Answer

Yes. The answer is yes. Yes. Well, your lifestyle is likely to be the biggest determinant of your mental acuity and cognitive abilities. If you're not exercising, if you're not on some natural hormone replacement therapy, if you're not getting a good night's sleep, if you're not eating healthy proteins and eating a very, very low sugar, starch, carbohydrate, fruit diet, mostly like a carnivore diet or ketogenic diet, and getting others, you know, basic nutrients, vitamin D, a good multimineral, a methylated B complex, I'm going to say that you probably are not going to see a big difference. But those patients of ours who are even on, you know, Namenda or Aricept, medications designed to treat cognitive dysfunctions, and some who are even in types of care situations. If they can help their loved one exercise with some real serious weightlifting and walking, aerobic, if they can get them involved in classical music, social groups, game playing, family visits, if they can get them to see their functional doctor to get them on some natural hormones, stop offending drugs that are usually associated with this, like the statins, the ketogenic lifestyle, the exercise, drink enough water, natural hormones, vitamin D, the B vitamins and minerals, all these things help to reduce cardiovascular disease. Natural systemic enzymes would also be given to people with cognitive decline, and that will usually be associated with a drop in their triglyceride level, a drop in the fasting blood sugar, a drop in their hemoglobin A1c, a drop in their fasting insulin level, and a drop in their triglycerides, blood sugar, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c. So when we see all that, then usually the lipid profile becomes less of a concern. The real focus is too much sugar, eating, inactivity, clogged tiny capillaries, and this then leads to cognitive dysfunction. So, we see that turnaround very often, and we have them closely followed with follow-up cholesterol levels, insulin levels. And if we see them actually doing it, then we keep them off of the statins. If they're not going to do it, then we send them back to their cardiologist or their primary doctor or their endocrinologist to just continue to drug them because they're certainly going to have to put their hard work into turning it around. And if they won't do their own personal responsibility for these lifestyle changes, then drugs, even though they're like statins, are going to lower the cholesterol, the cognitive function is still going to continue. So, you have to have both working and inspire the patient and their families.

Question

“What can I do to help regulate my diabetes better. I am a gastric sleeve patient for 5 years, with only 65 lbs. weight loss. I have not gained any weight, but I can’t seem to lose the last 100 lbs., and I am still struggling with diabetes. 1 Glipizide extended and 3 metformin extended. I feel horrible all the time. I tried the metabolic formula, doesn’t digest.”[0:05:55]

Answer

Well, what I would say is the first question, you know, how old are you? And what form of exercise? Do you have any other medical problems? Can you start doing some resistance weightlifting in the gym, on the machines only where you’re there for about 45 minutes three times a week. The action of building up your muscle mass will definitely improve the insulin, and your insulin has to be tracked, because if you have high insulin in a fasted state, it won't allow you to lose any more weight. So, if you build up your muscle health, then you will see the potential for reduction in weight and burning of fat. Then you have to get real serious about your diet, maybe get involved in some of our health coaching here, where we look at a journal of your diet. We spend a good amount of time with what you're doing with your. Lifestyle, your exercise, the time that you eat. If you eat in the morning and at lunch and stop your dinners, turn dinner time into a time to get projects done, not going to eat, then we see the better utilization of nutrients that we consume. If you're not taking thyroid, we would look at your free T3 metabolism, we would look at your triglyceride level, and we would look at the type of drinks that you're taking. Often people will use what we call those fake sugar drinks with stevia, or diet drinks is what I'm trying to say, and that is usually associated with failed behaviors because even though it's like stevia or monk fruit or allulose, we don't see the insulin come down as much as we would want to, and that's where I would begin to look at you. I would look at your testosterone level from a hormone point of view and try and build up your muscle mass with more testosterone. I would look at your estradiol/progesterone so you could get good repair at night if you would stop eating at 3:00 in the afternoon. Growth hormone/repair hormone will come out more abundantly every night if you stop eating around 3:00. So that's where I would begin.

Question

“Dear Dr. Ellithorpe, what's the safest distance when it comes to living near power lines? Also, the EMFs on our phones, et cetera. What's the best device to put on our phones for protection? Thank you for taking care of us. God bless.”[0:09:19]

Answer

Well, what I would say is those big power lines and the studies about increased cancer rates neurological problems, chronic disease, Parkinson's, things like this, you'll find studies that suggest this finding and then you'll find probably as many that'll say that they don't. I wonder if this is financially sponsored studies to train the outcome to come to something favorable for the industry. But the more I've looked into it over the many years, I'm going to say, about those big towers, you don't see dying leaves and trees around them, and there's usually a tree line and a breakaway area that's zoned off for the electric company to gain access. And if you don't see that happening, you could hire someone to measure the amount of Gauss emitted. If you're right under those things, that could be as much as 20 Gauss by those big towers. But you could get just out of the safe zone, the property area for the power company, and then there's the tree line and the homes that are there, and it drops down to under Gauss there. So you could technically be very close and do well. It's argued that it is our cellphone and it is our AirPods, it is our router in our homes for our WiFi, it's the electrified appliances that we have that are far more dangerous to our health than these power lines, because you remember there are men, even my brother-in-law, used to work up there as a lineman in Chicago. And, you know, he'd be touching this and right next to all this. And you know, there's argument there because he did pass away at age 45 from cancer, but he was also in Vietnam, and he was exposed to Agent Orange, and it was implied that that Agent Orange is what he inhaled and gave him his lung disease. And yes, he was a smoker, like almost every other soldier that went to Vietnam back then.

So, life is hard to advise you on this. I would become someone who keeps this on airplane mode or far from your body. I would never put it up to my head. I would use a speakerphone, is what I usually do. I always do that. I never wear the phone on my body. There are Faraday cage slips, these are metal leather encased or cloth encased slips that you can put it in. The same for your iPad or your laptop. These Faraday cages will stop it, but then of course you won't get the signal. You have to take them out to use them. I would look at your house and where the smart meter, the culp, is put on, and if it's emitting a large amount of electromagnetic energy, you know, over one Gauss is considered harmful, then you can put a Faraday cage. Make a little wire cage that just sits right over that little round meter.

You could buy cloth and make a canopy for your bed and put the Faraday cage cloth all the way around your bedroom. I suppose you could lay it underneath and create a complete cage. One of the ways you can check that is to have your phone on and be talking to someone and then go into your canopy bed and then the phone signal should go away. You can get a Faraday cage for your car, for your house surge protectors, all that kind of electromagnetic pulse surge protectors. And probably the best resource out there is a PhD in physics I know called the EMP Doctor. He has a YouTube series on everything about protecting your house and yourself from electromagnetic pulses, frequencies and things like that.

Now, as for the stickers and stuff, you see people stick onto their phones. Mostly I've seen failed research on them for protecting you from the electromagnetic measurement. We don't see the Gauss meter drop. We do see it in quality beanies where you put this cap on your head and/or infant caps, you can put it on the baby's head, children's head, and they have in it little silver, I think it is silver metallic to make a Faraday cage that's in the weave, and it will dramatically drop it. So, I've seen that. And these pendants that have the same chip apparently don't seem to, on testing, have protection made available, so I think there is a lot of scamming out there. But look at the EMP Doctor. Look at some of these beanies and cloth materials. You can buy it by the yard and make your own protection of it, blanket at night. If you want to just wrap yourself in a blanket and put a beanie on, you're going to get tremendous protection from EMF, your children and so forth. So that's an idea there.

Question

“Upon awakening, is it alright to take Perfect Aminos and systemic enzymes together? How much time must one wait before eating after systemic enzymes?”[00:15:57]

Answer

Because you take them typically on an empty stomach, and the answer is yes. And how much time must one wait before eating after systemic enzymes? I would probably wait two hours. I think it's better if you can wait two or three hours.

Question

“Are you familiar with William Davis, MD, 'Super Gut”? Do you believe this would be a good resource for attacking SIBO? I am already Keto-vore.”[0:16:26]

Answer

I can't say right off the bat. Let me write his name down so I can check into that. William Davis, MD., and then the concept is “Super Gut”. Well, you know, I'm so happy to see so many doctors have awakened to these facts over the many decades that we've been doing them, and there's more and more money being used either personally, like I've had to invest personally into my research and publications, and I'm seeing more and more doctors for their own health, their own family ante up to doing this. Hazan (0:17:27) is a woman who wrote the book. What is the name of it…She uses…SHIT Matters. So she uses the dirty word, SHIT Matters, and that's the title of her book and her last name is Hazan (0:17:49). She's up in Ventura, I think. And she started doing testing with her own money on stool studies, finding tremendous impact on, for instance, bifidobacteria levels and being protected from viral illnesses of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People with plenty of bifidobacteria seem to have no significant illness impact from that. So, I pray and I'm happy to hear more and more doctors and more and more highfalutin universities are starting to spend money and do research on the microbiome and all of the gut flora. The types are various. There's gram negatives. There's grams positives. There's fungi. And many of these are beneficial to help healing, helping us make more vitamins, helping us to make products that protect us from cancer. And then the converse is true, many will produce toxins, lipopolysaccharide endotoxins in particular. By the way, down the rabbit hole, LDL cholesterol is very good at sucking up potential endotoxins that are made from good bacteria. So, it's a huge community in there, and LDL can be your immune policemen, you know, sucking up any bad characters and live a nice long life. So, we are in favor of LDL in this office in the light of a low carb diet with exercise.

So, what I would suggest then is I will look into who William Davis is. I will look at the “Super Gut” thing and tune in next week. And last week someone asked about lithium and sunlight. And lithium is a salt, so I told you I would look into it further. And like lithium orotate is a salt. It's one of the beneficial forms of lithium. There are many benefits to lithium orotate, acting as a bipolar calming agent. It has many studies associated with reducing suicide. So, I looked into this question about risk of this, and it is associated with being in the hot weather, sweating a lot, and getting hemo-concentrated, in other words, losing fluid volume from sweat, which can make the lithium potentially too high. Now, in general, I have never, and I was an ER doctor for many years around the military men, doing exercise in the hot North Carolina, Fort Bragg, Fort Knox and elsewhere, never saw a case of this. So, I know it's in the literature, so it is associated with the sunlight dehydrating the person. So, I will look up what I'm being asked and I will look into William Davis and his “Super Gut” product and we'll find out.

Question

“Hi Dr. E., every now and then I get this feeling of a pulse of heat on the bottom of my foot. It comes and goes. I also have many purple spider veins. Is it safe to treat them? And what could this heat I feel be? Are these vein clinics safe to use to treat veins? I’m 65 years old. Thank you.”[0:21:39]

Answer

There are many things that go into this. I have to tell you, I have one dear patient of many decades, and she already had a clotting problem, risk for clots. She also had a pulmonary embolism, I believe, that she got some altitude sickness, and that after her injection with the SARS mRNA injection. Anyway, so here's this woman, she's quite beautiful, and she does a beautiful job taking care of herself. But she had the spider veins also, and she went to a vascular doctor, and she was on maybe five or six medications, and he went and used a sclerosing agent in these veins, and yeah, that's how she developed pulmonary embolism. It came right after that injection. So I am not in favor of sclerosing veins, even if they're superficial venules. And that's my take on it. So that's where I would leave that story.

Question

“If a patient had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed after breast cancer and BRCA2 were diagnosed , how would estradiol or estrogen work for them?”[0:23:37]

Answer

Well, if you read the book, Estrogen Matters, if you do any Google search on tissues in the human body that respond to estradiol and progesterone, you'll see there are countless sites all throughout our body, from our brain, to our sinuses, to our lung and thymus area, our bones, our heart, and on and on, and our nerves. So, there are many, many sites that are very valuable, and this is why we believe that there's a multiplicity of reasons to use natural hormones in the bioidentical human range by a doctor who has good experience with using them, and that for all the many benefits of their help, help with repairing the body, the immune system, and staying at the top of your performance in life.

Question

“What vitamin C brand do you like and how many milligrams for the average person?”[0:25:04]

Answer

Well, unfortunately it's like the wild, wild west in vitamins and shopping for vitamins at grocery stores or vitamin shops or online. And it's easy for them to be in a hot transport van and get overheated and then they become what we call oxidized or burnt, and then they are ineffectual, so you would be taking useless vitamins or oils. So, I work with companies that I are dedicated to serving doctors' offices that are using nutrients as an interventional medical leverage. And they have to have high quality, I have to be able to call up the vitamin producer, talk about what I'm finding with their product, with my patients on clinical testing and get feedback. And we do that with Ortho Molecular. Therefore, Ortho Molecular does not sell to the average population. And if you go online and you see bootlegged Ortho Molecular products, it's probably because they were expired or a doctor closed his office and he put them up online to sell, and you don't know how long they've been there or what they've been exposed to, because Ortho Molecular does not sell to the public. It expects you to find a credible healthcare provider that understands these things. So I use Ortho Molecular, and the name of our product is Buffered C. Okay. Ortho Molecular Buffered C capsules, and there's 180 in there. And two a day we'll get you about 1500 milligrams a day. I usually take double that as a minimum. And then there's all kinds of research and information suggesting that this is associated with improving cardiovascular health. There's a good argument to be made that the endothelial lining is so delicate, if it gets injured, it'll produce a cascade of information molecules we call cytokines that'll produce reactions of vasoconstriction, attracting white cells, attracting calcium, various products to try and heal, the scratch are healed, the injury, and plug it up from any leaking of blood cells through there. That irritation is also supported by vitamin C. So, people who take vitamin C, even long-term smokers who have had coronary artery calcium scores done, the makers of Emergen-C did a small case study profile published, I think in the Townsend Letter years and years ago, somewhere around late 90s or early 2000s. And even the smokers who were at the workplace where they made Emergen-C, that's a thousand milligrams, and they took a packet as a drink every day. They had their coronary calcium scores of, I guess it was zero. So, that's old information of over 20 years old.

But now we have a lot more information and research on lipoprotein (a), the one that is associated with risk for heart disease. There's no known treatment for it. And so, vitamin C seems to be the thing that reduces it tremendously. If you go to two YouTube sites, one is called Nick Norwitz, he's a Harvard new graduate who is kind of like a speaking mouthpiece, YouTube forum for everything nutrition at Harvard, giving it a new image. And his reporting is excellent. His images and cartoons, to help you understand it as you talk about it, are very valuable and they're entertaining. If you go to Nick Norwitz and you type in the search bar there vitamin C lipoprotein (a) or just straight vitamin C, you'll see all the research exploding now about heart disease prevention and even reversal is being implied, lowering of the lipoprotein (a) with vitamin C every day orally. And you know, that's another reason why we think over all these years that we've given the EDTA chelation with high dose vitamin C in the IV, doing that weekly, we had tremendous endovascular endothelium repair, healing, reduction in inflammation with the vitamin C and chelation and the vitamins we gave. So, it all adds up together. So that's the brand I use. That's how much I take.

Question

“My right wrist is bone on bone from rheumatoid arthritis. A steroid shot helped with the pain for now. Are there any stem cell or lubricating treatment other than surgery for this?”[0:31:02]

Answer

Yes, definitely. I would also ask you to become a pure carnivore and find out your blood type. Use systemic enzymes. Get structured water. Watch the video by Dr. Gerald Pollack and drink your water with this wand that will structure all the water you drink and that will amplify the membrane-to-membrane healing and cushioning and energy potential for all transactions you have to have energy and water and sunlight. Infrared light is very important in that. Use systemic enzymes like Vitalzym, five twice a day. Then find a doctor who is using hyaluronic acid injections. Take vitamin C because remember, vitamin C helps the elastin/collagen connection and the cell-to-cell junctions for healing and repairing. You could also use platelet-rich plasma, that will have the growth factors. Doing fasting, a two-day fast will stimulate healing, pain reduction, and growth factors repaired. So there's all these kinds of things. If you can't afford these injections, then just do a two-day fast, no more than a three-day fast if you're able to. If you're a diabetic or have a serious illness, consult your physician. And do a fast which stimulates your own growth factor production that heals everywhere in your body, not one just little site of injection. Remember, growth hormone is secreted at 9 o'clock at night, 9:20, 9:40, 10:00, 10:20, 10:40 and 11 o'clock wherever it is on the planet and that's from the electromagnetic implications of the planet and the time. And in that darkness, and if your eyes are closed, then the secretion will come if you go to bed and then get your eyes shut and your lights off, and then you'll get healing. It won't come out if you eat dinner late. So that's why fasting is so stimulating to growth hormone repair when it comes out every night. And animals don't eat mammals. I know there are nocturnal animals like owls and stuff, but in general, mammals stop eating and they depend on the planetary electromagnetic energy to help them make their growth hormone to heal up their stresses and micro tears of their body.

Question

“Hi Dr E., an elderly man, 78 years old, a heart patient, high blood pressure and a diabetic. He has knee pain. Is it ok for him to take turmeric supplements because he is on blood thinners? I value your opinion! Thank you so much!”[0:34:23]

Answer

It should be. I don't see any reason why not. Yeah, I have many patients who are on blood thinners and they use Turiva. Again, that's an Ortho Molecular product, so I trust the sourcing of their curcumin and turmeric and the dosing to be accurate. So, yeah, it's very safe. Well, we value all you patients and your dedication inspires us. So, it's a win-win situation for us and you. So, yeah, I think it's safe.

Question

“Hi Dr. E, can you explain why root canals are bad for us. I have one that I am considering getting removed. Is there a particular type of dentist I should be looking at to do the procedure? Thanks for your time.”[0:35:17]

Answer

Well, more and more now, we used to call them biological dentist. These were dentists who were against mercury fillings and were using a whole dam and then a suction to get the air and the spin-off. So when you drill into a typical amalgam filling or you're pulling out a tooth or a root canal, you're going to be getting aerosolized metals or aerosolized infected material that are aerosolized during the process. So they put a dam, they have suction. Some doctors/biological dentists go as far as giving you extra vitamin C or even a vitamin C drip, and they were called biological doctors. So back in the 1990s, when I did my second doctorate in nutrition, this was the term we used. Now, biological dentistry has really impacted almost all of good dentistry today. And most doctors, if you call their office and say, if you remove an amalgam and then work on a cavity under it, are you going to replace it with an amalgam on top or are you going to use a porcelain or gold, if it needs a root canal, do you do the damming and the suction, and these kind of things. So that's what you need to talk with the manager when you call the office, how they do this, because in general, these root canals that were done in the 20th century have been fraught with, let's say auto intoxication and breakdown in the roots themselves have many little tiny cavities all around that never get filled and they get this bacteria in there from the infected tooth. In the first place, the tooth was infected, and that's what created the pain and the breakdown and the fracture of the tooth or the lifting of the amalgam and creating more problem. So this bacteria can never really adequately be treated.

Therefore, it is recommended to take good care of your teeth so you don't have to get tooth loss or a root canal. But I do think that there is such an awareness by dentistry now that they're doing a much better job. We do need our teeth to chew our meats and our fish and these protein-rich foods because, as you become elderly, you'll go to an old folks home and you look on the food plate there and all the mashed potatoes are gone and the pudding is gone and the ice cream is eaten, but the steak and broccoli is still sitting there because they don't have the teeth to chew it with. So, take care of your teeth. Look for a dentist who uses the dam. It's kind of a draping of the area, so it's as sterile as humanly possible with using a vacuum and using a very high quality technique for doing a root canal, if you have to have it. Maybe another or better choice if you have to have it, and it's an important tooth, let's say it's like one of your front teeth were knocked out, getting an implant into the bone and then screwing on a tooth rather than doing a root canal of the tooth. So, if you can keep healthy teeth, that's the best. If you have a problem with it, don't let it linger, get it treated. If it must be a root canal, do it with a dentist who does these extra methods to protect you and does not replace any amalgam, nickel, silver, and mercury mixtures, and so forth.

Question

“How bad is it to drink coffee on an empty stomach? It was a trend for weight loss, and now it seems like many people have high cortisol and hormone imbalances. Are Starbucks and pods ruining us?”  [0:40:12]

Answer

You know, the more you go out and habituate yourself to a foreign marketer putting something into your human body, you know, you can go to a farm, a local farm, a local range, you can partner with them to buy a half of a cow with someone else, or you can see this. Now, I, for instance, traveled up to California, and there in California, we went to the dairy raw farm, and we looked at it. And we saw the place. We had the gentleman come down here and lecture to our patients. Now, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has picked that same gentleman and his farm, it's called Raw Dairy California, I think, and I can't think of it any more than that. Organic Pastures was another logo that he trademarked. But anyway, the more you can get local, that you can hold them personally eyeball to eyeball accountable, the more you're going have them produce something that is the least manipulated. The more you go into packaged, you know, code bar-labeled material, you've surrendered over any reasonable ability to protect yourself. Like if you're getting those pod cups that I gave up too, because when I learned about the plasticizers in those cups, I just said, no, I'm not going to do that for my coffee. We'll go back to the old-fashioned stainless steel percolator or just drip coffee through a metal strain.

I remember my father, my mother used to call it, he should have been a bazillionaire because he was doing this when I was, I don't know, 5 years old. And so, I'm 72, so 68 years ago. 68 years ago, he was taking the filter that he uses to do paper chromatography, and he took that paper, he put it in a glass funnel, into a big funnel, and he would take my mother's coffee grounds, and he would pour hot water over it, and then the coffee would drip through, and all our neighbors would come over for Mr. Zimont. My maiden name was Zimont. Mr. Zimont’s scientific coffee is what they called it. And everyone loved his coffee. That was long before Starbucks. But anyway, there you go.

So, is it okay to take coffee? There are so many publications about its value cardiovascularly and it's really the chlorogenic acid that is in it. Green tea has it. And then there's a tea, what is the name of that tea, I can't recall the name of the tea that has chlorogenic acid in it. It's from... No, it's, it's escaping my mind. But green tea has the caffeine and chlorogenic acid in it, quite, quite good amount, and it's very much research proven to have longevity and better mental, cognitive function, less cancers, reduce your mortality, and on and on. If you can't handle the caffeine, well the research suggested it should be taken in the morning and early afternoon. Not like me at this time of night I'm drinking it, but can't be perfect, I guess, about every food. Anyway, hopefully that helps you. I don't think that there's any clear-cut risk for cortisol stress that is truly causative. It might have some correlation, but I don't think it's causative.

The tea was Yerba Mate. That is correct. Yerba Mate is the rich chlorogenic acid that is very very valuable as an anti-aging, cardiovascular support tea and herbal tea.

Question

“Do you recommend hydrogen water specifically to help decrease inflammation? What are the most impactful anti-inflammatory supplements or activities?”[0:44:48]

Answer

The answer is yes. And that's what's happening. When you do something like this, when water gets organized, the hydrogen is released and you get hydrogen water from this. You don't have to buy these things that carry it around. Just by getting the wand here and sticking it in, you'll see that. This is called an Analemma wand, analemmawand.com.

“What are the most impactful anti-inflammatory supplements or activities?” Well, it would be the one you need. See, we think there's a miracle drug or a miracle secret thing to do, and it's a system. It's living a lifestyle, a system whereby you don't stay up late, you try and go to bed around 9:00, you get your electronics shut off. You wake up in the morning before the sunrise, you get things done, and you get outside with sunrise, get the infrared light that goes through your skull and your clothes and through your eyes to set the melatonin messaging to your central nervous system. That's going to help you have a good night's sleep that same night. Get your exercise. Drink your water, preferably structured water. All water that was from mountain streams and circulating, coming down in circles was structured water. So, living water is what they would call it. And eating a very low carb diet, not eating late. Eating a rich amount of natural occurring proteins. If you're doing all that, and exercising, weightlifting and aerobic, then you can ask the question, what supplements have wisdom? Well, the greatest research volume is with the Juice Plus production of their fruit, vegetable, and vineyard capsules. They have the largest validated third party on the product research to show reduction of cell damage, which is inflammation, reduction of DNA damage which is inflammatory cytokine damage of the nucleus, DNA, mitochondrial DNA, the largest body of knowledge of improved immune function, an and on it goes. So, I would take Juice Plus as my number one choice fruit, vegetable, and berry, and they, again, have just picked the research on the vineyard one right now because it's so rich in all these plant polyphenols color rich vegetable, but all the sugar is taken out, so that's why it's so fantastic. Yes, you need the vitamin D because we don't get enough from the chemtrails that are covering our skies, although I've seen less and less now with this current Robert F. Kennedy impacting this and telling him to stop it. And getting sunshine, getting grounded with your bare feet on the grass for a few minutes every day, that is the best way to do it. And if you're postmenopausal, get on your hormones. And if you're not doing weightlifting, do it. So, that's the best way to live.

Question

“I have a fairly large spermatocele that my urologist says requires surgery if it becomes bothersome. Is chelation or an alternative available to reduce my spermatocele?”[0:48:39]

Answer

Well, again, there's been no studies on that. No money has been sent to do natural things that are so valuable. The vitamin C, the minerals, the B vitamins will help and assist with your metabolism in the testicles and throughout all your body, bringing and delivering better circulation, which will remove waste and bring in repair material. The vitamin C will help a stronger linkage, so there's less likely to have cysts in your testicles, varicoceles, cysts in your liver, cyst in your kidneys, cyst anywhere in your body. So, the answer would be, yes, just because of my vast experience of people over the 45 years of practicing medicine now where enhanced microcirculation, a low carb diet, richer and healthy natural proteins and healthy fats, systemic enzymes, as well as digestive enzymes, if you're aging, natural hormone replacement, exercise, not eating late, the vitamin C in it, the chelation, circulation, the minerals, all these things mean your body knows what to do and it will do a better job. You can get ultrasounds to track that over time. So my answer is yes.

Question

“Hi Dr. E, what are your thoughts on red light therapy? What does it help? Thank you!”[0:50:14]

Answer

Everything. In other words, we are batteries. Watch the video called Electrically Structured Water by Dr. Gerald Pollac, and you'll see why I drink structured water and I put a wand in everything I drink out of, so I get better cell membrane, transmembrane potential. We are mostly water. The life, especially the richest dose of infrared is in the morning with a morning sunrise. It'll penetrate your skull, go through your eyes, go through your clothes, and it will talk to the water molecules, which will amplify their transmembrane potential up to tripling it. And I think that's probably why I have such good energy, along with, you know, I do chelations, I do vitamin C drips, I do all these other things.

Question

“Hi Dr E., I would like the balanced dosage of zinc plus other minerals to help with my immune system. Thank you . God Bless you.”[0:51:26]

Answer

So I would use Ortho Molecular’s Multimineral that they make. It's got all of them in there with the appropriate balance between zinc and copper, magnesium, boron, vanadium, chromium, and other things as well. That's what I would use.

Question

“What are your thought about using a cream that has CBD? I was told it does not have THC. I don’t know anything about CBD and THC. God bless you “[0:52:00]

Answer

Well, I've heard patients anecdotally say over and over again that their gummies with CBD oil, their topical creams with CBD oil have been very beneficial from calming their mind, helping them sleep, and even some will say have enhanced their immune system and improve their cancer situations with their quality of life. So I'm in favor of it.

Question

“Hello, I take NP Thyroid right when I wake up. I also want to take systemic enzymes because it would be on an empty stomach. Would that be a problem to take at the same time? The reason I ask is I wait 30 minutes before I take my other prescription medication with food (breakfast) before going to workout for the morning. Thank you for your input.”[0:52:52]

Answer

Yeah, you can take them together. Definitely.

Question

“Hi Dr. Ellithorpe, do you have any explanation/suggestions for someone who bruises and develops hematomas with minor bumping into corners, etc.? Is this indicative of a deficiency? I don’t take blood thinners, but I am on estradiol and progesterone. Thank you.”[0:53:21]

Answer

Probably Vitamin C. Remember, vitamin C is water soluble. You pee it out every day. We don't make any. A goat makes about 9 to 10, maybe up to 15 grams of vitamin C a day just on an average day from its glucose. And if it's stressed or hurt or frighten, it'll double that and make 20 grams, 30 grams of vitamin C from the glucose in the body. So, we make none, and we need to use this. And the subclinical scurvy tiny injuries to the capillaries and the leakage of this, as our skin thins as well with lack of hormones, this becomes a problem for us, especially if you get a bump on your head when you're older, falling down, your falls become more often as an elderly person. So, it might be vitamin C. I would take it every day. She went on to say, “I don't take blood thinners, but I am on estradiol and progesterone.” Well, that will help the thickness of your skin, the support structure of the tissues that surround your capillaries and help cushion them.

Question

“I’ve been trying to find a B complex that uses pyridoxine 5'-phosphate instead of pyridoxine hydrochloride, but even the really good brands use the synthetic version which I’ve been told can cause toxicity even in small doses. I tend to be really sensitive to things. Is the pyridoxine a real concern?”[0:54:48]

Answer

No, I don't think so. Now, we're all uniquely different. We don't all have the exact same enzyme programming to handle the many different pathways B6 can be processed through our body and the multifold need of it from our brain to our toe. But I think we have gone nuts. I've been doing this 45 years and I don't think, but once in my life have I seen a vitamin B6 neuropathy, which could be the burning in the feet. But usually burning in the feet is tiny microvascular damage, and that's what EDTA chelation normally improves with a low carb diet, systemic enzymes, natural hormones, and so forth. So, I don't think you have to get pyridoxine 5'- phosphate. I think the standard B complexes will have it in a balanced dosing in the 10, 20, 25 mg range. If you get up to taking like 500 mg of vitamin B6 every day for a long period of time, yeah, you'll probably create an imbalance pressure on the system in the body for metabolizing it because it has many, many pathways it can go. So, yeah, that would be high, ridiculously high. But a short time, a couple of weeks on something, I would not think that that would do anything in general.

Question

“How to treat adrenal fatigue? Labs and Dutch tests show consistent low levels of progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, melatonin in a 41-year-old female. Progesterone levels recently increased and are within range with about 5 months of treatment. All others are still low.”[0:56:47]

Answer

Every case is unique. You would have to have a good functional doctor and looking at these things. I'm not a fan of the Dutch tests. I don't like salivary testing in general or urine testing, and I think we typically underdose our patients. So, this is something with adrenal fatigue that is unique to the person, the situation, the home environment, the life stressors you've had, the blood type you have, your age, how long you've been on hormones. Just all these things go into it. So, I would say you're going to have to work with a doctor who's not afraid to use robust levels of natural hormones, improve your microcirculation with the vitamin C and chelation probably. Get the morning sunshine, do some heavy weight lifting in the machines at the gym only, no free weights. Do things like that.

Question

“Can low levels of testosterone and estrogen trigger early menopause if progesterone levels are within luteal range? Best way(s) to prevent early menopause?”[0:58:17]

Answer

I don't ever say that testosterone and estrogen trigger early menopause. It's the loss of progesterone first with lack of ovulation. Then you become, even though you might be making lower total amounts of estradiol, the higher estradiol compared to no progesterone without ovulation becomes estrogen dominant, and that has this whole field of problems that you go through. So, it's a complex thing. You have to have experience. You know, I started somewhere, and you just have to work with your doctor because we need everyone to get up on par with this, because when I was a young doctor, women didn't go through menopause until their early to late 50s. This stuff happening in the late 30s and early 40s is totally foreign. We just have too much stress, electromagnetic energy, too much staying up that light, these fake lights, the blue light, all this kind of stuff, along with a horrible diet, glyphosates, genetically modified foods. This lifestyle we're living and the foods we're eating are really aging us too quickly.

Question

“Hello doctor, thank you for what you do. I have osteopenia. Can this be reversed and do you have any recommendations on how to reverse if possible.”[0:59:43]

Answer

The answer is yes. Well, you have to get a good functional doctor, an integrative doctor who will not be afraid to use natural hormone replacement therapy, put you on some good gym machines for resistance weight training, limit your eating to 3:00 in the afternoon, so you can start eating when you waken in the morning. Get that morning sunshine to stimulate your whole energy cycle, drinking adequate water, low carb diet, the exercise, to bed on time to get the growth hormones secreted at 9:00, and with natural hormones. I don't think I've seen anyone fail that ever.

Question

“Are there immunotherapies that can help support a patient who is receiving IV radiation? And are there any supplements that can stimulate the patient’s appetite?”[1:00:33]

Answer

The answer is, yes, there's many things we can do to come alongside your oncologist to get the best outcome and benefit of their suggested therapies for the type of cancer. I don't understand what you mean by saying IV radiation. I don't know that there's IV radiation. There's radiation and then there's IV chemotherapy. But be it as it is, yes, we can build the immune system in many, many different ways. Now, for building up the appetite, there are many factors involved. Find a good functional doctor. Understand, exercise can be done even when you're undergoing chemotherapy, the resistance training. You can get a physical therapy referral to help start teaching you or the person the bands, the resistance, even the gym usage with supervision because we don’t want to break any metastatic bony lesion, but we do want to support gently the muscles and the repair with a rich protein diet. Using high dose vitamin C as an oxidative therapy is just like chemotherapy, only it has no side effects. It is tumoricidal, so it helps kill and support and augment the treatments you’re getting from your oncologist. Hopefully that helps you.

Question

“If I were to purchase your Multimineral, your vitamin C, and vitamin B capsules from your store, would it be possible for me to open them up and put them in some oatmeal or applesauce, etc.? Thank you.”[1:02:11]

Answer

The answer is yes but you would have to consume it right away and it shouldn’t be hot. So, no hot cooked apples or oatmeal because that vibrational energy of the heat will damage and oxidatively damage the B vitamins and the vitamin C. But yes, yes, it will all help.

Question

“Hi, Dr. E! Is it true that nicotine promotes immunity? And if so, how much should we take, and is it worth the potential for addiction?”[1:03:12]

Answer

The answer is yes. We don’t get addicted to nicotine. There were other things in the cigarettes. Primatene, I think, was the drug they added. We’ve got to read the whole history there on the findings of the court hearings on the 1989 or 1990 findings of the lawsuit against the rally tobacco companies and the like and they were putting addictive agents in there. It’s not the nicotine. Nicotine is in all kinds of foods. We’re not addicted to these foods necessarily. And so, the same for nicotine. But what I use is I go to Walgreens and I get the lozenges. It’s the mini lozenge tablet, and they’re 4 mg. The standard dose for an adult preventatively is 6 mg, and that’s what each tablet looks like. And so, once a day or every other day. It is very much associated our nicotinic receptors which do tons of things in our autonomic nervous system and help our immune system that way.

Question

‘What is good for a deteriorating fracture that is located in the spine L1? It’s been almost 3 years, and still in pain.”[1:04:41]

Answer

Well, we have to ask how much do you weigh, what is your diet like, what is your blood type, can you use natural testosterone to help stimulate the repair and healing, what is your inflammatory state, how late are you eating. There are many, many things that go into this. So, please find a very good functional integrative medical doctor with experience. And you can always have doctors get on here and ask me questions here, and I’ll shoot from the hip everyday and do that.
