First Name: Karen Dr. Jim's answer for Karen: Un-explained Back Pain On Dec, 2009, the following results were submitted from the "Ask the Doctor Page" on basic-keys-to-natural-health.com: First Name: Barbara State/Prov: Texas Country: United States Your Question or Health Concern: Dear Dr. Rose, My Husband has a burning pain in the middle of his upper back and neck. Medication doesn't seem to help. He also has lower back pain and sometimes walks with an S shape to his lower back. (He) has trouble standing for long periods of time. He has had has 5 stents and two balloons in two of his stents since January, Feb. and April 2009. He takes MObic 15mg, is unable to take too much due to his heart medications. He is doing great since his last stents. He is now on Daraplaib a trial study drug through a cardiologist in Victoria, Tx. Your doctor will be checking for metabolic disturbances and malignancy. Imaging by X-ray or otherwise, is very likely to show arthritis anyway, even if this has nothing to do with his pain. This can be a red herring, drawing people off the scent. Arthritis, being very common, can coexist with other conditions.If nothing else is found to explain the pain, the diagnosis needs to be made by hands on examination, by someone skilled in musculoskeletal medicine. X-rays etc... cannot tell where pain is coming from. Hopefully he will get relief from manual therapy and/or exercises.
Fibromyalgia ~ MS On Tue Nov - 2009, the following results were submitted from the "Ask the Doctor" form on basic-keys-to-natural-health.com: First Name: Sana Well, my mother has Fibromylagia since 2004.She has been to countless Doctors in the States and Europe but all of them have been giving her pain killers. The pain killers have made her situation worse. She is always under pain and sleeping problems.I have looked up alot of websites and all of them sell books for certain diseases. When I looked up the book reviews its nothing positive. I like this site because it seems there is no interest in money gain. I would like to really know if there is a cure for Fibromylagia or only false accusations. If there is a cure what would my mother have to do to get healthy again? I also have a boyfriend that has Multiple Sclerosis. He was diagnosed with MS 7 yrs ago. His case is not that bad like from some other MS patients. He gets attacks once in a while and depressive mood swings.He also gets numbness in legs and weakness of the body.His eyesight is getting worse too. Plz - is there a cure for M.S.? Dr. Jim Rose reply to Sana's questions: MS may be largely due to toxicity from herbicide exposure, either directly in agricultural or domestic use, or indirectly from residues in food. Fibromyalgia is likely to be related to food intolerance, deficiencies of trace elements (including magnesium) -inadequate water intake, dysbiosis in the bowel, impaired detoxifying ability, impaired neurotransmitter synthesis, physical de-conditioning - the entire field of natural medicine. There is every reason to tackle such conditions with some confidence, but you do need to find a health professional who looks for causes of things rather than just treating symptoms - and it will require work and persistence on the part of the person with the affliction. Very best wishes to both of you, Sana ! Please visit our Fibromyalgia - all natural cure page - for a proven method and suggested supplements to begin your mother's healing process - eliminate the pain - and regain her health. Mites ~ Scabies ~ Itching Nov - 2009 - the following results were submitted from the "Ask the Doctor" page on basic-keys-to-natural-health.com: First Name: Janet State/Prov: Arkansas Country: United States Your Question or Health Concern: I have been diagnosed with an itch mite or scabies. I was given an topical lotion it cleared it up for about a week but,they returned, now I have been given a prescription for an oral medication called Stromectol that is suppose to work if the topical lotion didn't. I have been applying a mixture of tea tree oil and olive oil which seems to be helping. Can you tell me what I must do to get rid of these mites? Thank you for any help you can give me. Janet Dr. Rose replies to Janet's Question : Dear Janet , Scabies is caught from someone and can be caught again from the same source, so any treatment needs to include avoiding or treating the source person or objects. The latter are usually clothes, but I had one patient who got the infestation when cleaning out an house to renovate it. Washing in hot water and steam ironing will kill the mite on clothes and bedding. The itch is due to allergy to the mite products and it will take a while to settle, even if all the mites are dead. Regards, Dr. Jim If you feel that you need something to add to your arsenal to battle these horrible little pests you might want to try some natural products that may help with mite infestation on your skin: Ask the Doctor and. . .
Depression - Excess Hair - and More... Sept. 2009, the following results were submitted from the "Ask the Doctor" page on basic-keys-to-natural-health.com:
First Name: Brandy My problem is this I have had facial hair since 12 years of age. It has been getting worse with age. I've been very unhappy since I gave birth 16 months ago. My doctor put me on *(a mediance) for postpartum depression. I took it for 4 months and stopped. It made me feel terrible. I also have no sex drive, have not been able to lose the weight I've gained since my pregnancy. I was put on bed rest for 6 months of the pregnancy and she still came 6 weeks early. My temper has also been short. I always feel tired and don't sleep good at night. The last time I went to the doctor she was so mean to me that I cried in the office. I find that no one wants to be around me. My doctor's solution is medication that only masks the symptoms not help. Thanks for any help. Brandy Dr. Rose's answer for Brandy:
Dear Brandy, A lot of health problems come down to our food and our attitude to life in general. I really is worth the effort to eat well, avoiding things in packets with long shelf lives, full of goodness knows what chemicals. My apologies if you already work according to this rule. One woman's meat is another woman's poison. One method for telling if something is good for you, is using Dr. Arthur Coca's pulse test - foods bad for you speed up your pulse. Try to count your blessings, every day! It's not easy when you're mood is low, but there is going to be a best point in every day, for you to give a brief thanks for. It mightn't be much, but it's worth the practice to be thankful for something. It sort of grows on you after a while. Very best wishes...........

Loss of Taste and Smell July 2009 the following results were submitted from the 'Ask the Doctor' form :
First Name: Gratz Dr. Rose replies to Gratz : Dear Gratz, A reasonably useful test for Zinc is the taste test, as described by Professor Bryce-Smith in his book "The Zinc Solution".You can buy the solution for this test. Our choice of air purifiers are the Ultra Violet air Purifiers . We have several of these in our home. They destroy most common household irritants and, for our family ... they have made a big difference in the lessening of our allergy symptoms. The same air purifiers we use are available at: CleanAir4Life.com Please read more on our: The cure for Allergies page . And another page that will be very helpful for you is our : Toxic Body Burden page.  regarding Chron's June 2009 - the following results were submitted from the 'Comments' form - but we wanted to include it on our Ask the Doctor page. First Name: C____ (name withheld by request) State/Prov: Queensland Country: Australia Your Message or Comments: I have been suffering from Crohns disease for over45 years. I have had 3 resections, { surgeries } tried most things, am not taking any prescription drugs, but do suffer from chronic explosive foul smelling yellow diarrhea and gas all the time. I would be most grateful for any help you can send to me. C____ - although you did not give us a lot of in-depth information to work with - because you have had several surgeries - we submitted the question to Dr. Rose - and he graciously answered you as best he could . Your diarrhea may be due to removal of large bowel, which normally removes a lot of water from the liquid small bowel contents, to produce our formed faeces. Any number of other conditions may coexist with this, such as dysbiosis, food intolerance, disturbance of your autonomic nervous system etc. If you haven't already done so, I would start with stool analysis, through Metametrix labs. "Clinical Insights" in Sydney are their agents in Australia.

regarding Celiac diagnosis and Bad Breath On Sun Apr 05 13:06:25 2009, the following results were submitted from the "Ask the Doctor" page on basic-keys-to-natural-health.com:
First Name: Carol Ann Your Question or Health Concern: I have celiac sprue. I was just diagnosed last week. I have been on a gluten- free diet for about one week. I go and have integrative manual therapy and diagnostics. Now all day long my breath really stinks even though I brush my teeth. My breath has never been this bad before. What can I do ? Celiac disease is underdiagnosed. Until recently, only about 5% of Americans with it were diagnsied. 1% of people are believed to have it. It starts in childhood, but most people are diagnosed in their 3rd to 7th decades of life.The TTG blood test is not as accurate as formerly believed. Only 50% of people with this have, have celiac disease on biopsy, so it is really only a screening test. It picks up 80% of celiac disease, provided that the people have been eating gluten at the time. If someone has already been on a gluten free diet, the gene test can be used. One study showed that of every twenty people on a gluten free diet, only one of them had celiac disease. A negative gene test will tell if you are one of the other 19. You can be allergic to wheat and the other cereal grains without having celiac disease.The gene test is not much use for diagnosing celiac though, as it is positive in about a third of the healthy population. It is only useful for ruling out the diagnsois. Celiac Disease - read more...  (High Blood Pressure) and Hawthorn berries...
