This Week's Q&A: "The Half-Your-Weight Hydration Rule Could Be Dangerous"
Share

I just wrapped up another Q&A session where I challenged some dangerous health myths that have become discouragingly mainstream.

Did you know that popular hydration advice could actually harm certain patients? Or that expensive light therapy devices aren't necessarily better than simpler alternatives? These are just a few of the questions I tackled this week.

What else did subscribers learn?

  • Which HTMA testing labs I trust (and which ones I avoid completely)

  • The surprising truth about antioxidants that goes against conventional wisdom

  • A simple height-based formula for proper hydration that works better than weight-based rules

  • How to lower blood pressure naturally (including one unexpected technique that works remarkably well)

  • Why I returned an expensive health device after discovering a fundamental flaw in its design

For premium subscribers, I shared specific product recommendations that can save hundreds of dollars annually. I also provided behind-the-scenes insights on certain health devices that I can't discuss publicly for legal reasons.

As I told my subscribers: "I'm trying to pass on savings that pay for your membership every year. That's part of my philosophy."

Here’s a complete list of questions asked and answered this week:

  1. Why choose HTMA testing with Analytical Research Labs or Trace Elements Institute over Doctor's Data or Mosaic Diagnostics?

  2. Can you expand on the data that antioxidants don't work?

  3. What's your response to experiencing an allergic reaction to LifeWave patches?

  4. What is your iodine protocol?

  5. What is your stance on drinking half your body weight in ounces each day?

  6. How can I lose weight and keep it off?

  7. What do you recommend after someone completes the 14-day reset?

  8. What alternatives do you recommend for blood pressure medications?

  9. What alternatives do you recommend for arthritis?

  10. What should I use for an electrolyte powder?

  11. What's the benefit of larger red and infrared light therapy devices?

  12. Does Fiji water count as spring water?

  13. Is drinking one cup of mold-free organic coffee each morning bad for me?

  14. Are PEMF mats helpful or potentially harmful?

  15. Is it true that sun exposure causes cataracts? How can I protect my eyes while still getting sun exposure?

  16. Do you advise on jaw cavitation surgery? Do you recommend doing HTMA before jaw cavitation surgery?

  17. What is the best test for the adrenal glands?

  18. Can I use a steam shower instead of a sauna and get the same benefits?

  19. Is DMSO gel effective for precancerous spots and pain? Why might it cause different reactions on different skin areas?

  20. Dr. Jack Kruse has said people with cataract surgery are at risk for diseases later. What diseases might these be and how can they be mitigated?

  21. Can blood thinners (e.g., Eliquis) be contraindications for HTMA supplements?
