Q&A

• My husband has severe toe pain, is pre-diabetic (actually diabetic based on A1C of 11), and takes statins. What could be causing his pain?

  His toe pain could be gout, a common complication of diabetes. High uric acid levels are highly inflammatory and cause painful crystal buildup. Testing for uric acid is recommended.

• My liver hurts after caloric restriction and a detox. My ALT is elevated. What should I do?

  Liver inflammation may be due to toxin processing during weight loss. Rest the liver, reduce processed carbs and saturated fats, increase fruits and vegetables, and consider gentle exercise like walking.

• My TSH is 4.9, but other thyroid markers are normal. Iodine intake increases my TSH. What's going on?

  Elevated TSH might be due to stress, a cortisol issue, or liver processing problems. Consider stress reduction techniques, sleep improvement, and a functional medicine approach to assess underlying causes.

• My white blood cell count is low, neutrophils are dropping, and ALT/AST are slightly elevated. Could this be a virus?

  Low white blood cell count can be caused by chronic stress or heavy metal toxicity. Elevated ALT/AST can be caused by high iron. Focus on increasing antioxidants, fiber, and detoxification methods.

• What causes cherry angiomas, and how can I get rid of them?

  Cherry angiomas are red dots on the skin, often appearing with age. While not usually harmful, they may be linked to high bromine levels or genetics. A dermatologist can remove them with electrical stimulation.
