Hi Robb! I’m loving the podcast! Just started listening and got your information from the lady who started the Debug Your Health blog which goes over diet and parasite elimination. She recommended for diet just doing grass fed meat and veggies. I did that for a few days but had severe leg cramps and sleep disturbances. Also, I’ve been constipated for awhile now and just can’t seem to find the right diet for addressing this issue. I will go to the bathroom once every three days and my gut just doesn’t feel right whatsoever. Also, I have A- blood type so I should be having more frequent bowel movements but that is not the case. I am only 21 years old and want to live my life. My suspicion is that it may be related to parasites, heavy metals, and maybe nutritional deficiencies. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this constipation with diet, parasite cleansing, or even enemas? Keep up the great work and I am excited to hear your response!

Immune thrombocytopenia ITP

Allen writes:

Hello,

My wife has an immune system disorder called Immune thrombocytopenia ITP. It is triggered by pregnancy. Her platelet count drops, which means she is at greater risk for hemorrhaging. The underlying cause of ITP is unknown according to our doctors and what I’ve read. For her first pregnancy, the doctors prescribed two treatments to ameliorate the platelet count: prednisone and IVG (this is standard treatment AFAICT) but these treatments had minimal/no effect. As the disease is evidently related to immune system health, I wondered if there are any dietary or environmental things we might look at which could help. Any advice getting pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you!

eGFR results while on a high protein diet

Richard writes:

I went to the doctor for a full feeling in my throat that was affecting my voice. Nothing was found but some of the bloodwork results have me a little worried.Creatinine 1.3, Total bilirubin 2.1, GFR 60. Should I be concerned with high meat intake? I follow a ketovore diet that averages less than 20g of carbs per day. Protein falls between 150 and 250 per day. The day of the test I had about a pound of meat for breakfast 6:00AM and nothing else before the bloodwork at 2:00PM. The doctor didn’t express any concern over the results but a GFR of 60 is kidney disease according to all the charts on the web. I’m going to get retested but I’m wondering if my diet makes these tests unreliable. How would you prepare for the second test to insure that the results are accurate?

0:48.8	I was going to say I never claimed to be a knower of all lyrics.
