I'm using oil of oregano for toe nail fungus, (my dr. has suggested complete removal of nails and nail bed). Unfortunately, can't seem to get an answer as to how much to use? Taking four drops in the morning. Anybody have any info?

Dian,
I don't know about the oil of oregano, but it might be helpful to go to the Home Page and read the article by Dr. Stoll on fungus infections of the feet.

Dear Dian,
I have the cure for toenail fungus. Use the link: Fungus Infections of the Feet.
I also have an entire chapter in my book about how to do this. Many people, here on the BB, have resolved this condition & would probably respond to a note titled something like "Toenail Fungus Testimonials Wanted"

Dear Dr Stoll, I have MS and began taking bee pollen granules a while ago. I had to start out very slow because too much would make me very weak. I understand bee pollen pulls toxins out of your body. I have increaed the bee pollen to half a teaspoon three times a day. I felt pretty good for a while, then I started to feel weak again. Now I feel weak if I take a smaller amount or if I take none at all. HELP!!! Thanks, Judy
Dear David,
I have friends who have been touting its wonderful healing properties. However, I have no personal or professional experience with it.
My guess, at this stage, is that it will turn out to be like Blue -Green Algae, Bee Pollen or Royal Jelly, etc. Only the laboratory of the individual's bodymind will tell that individual if it is going to help that individual.
In short, it is unlikely to hurt anything but your pocket book. If you do not notice "benefits" within a few months, you are likely one of those for whom it will not do miraculous things.
Let us know what happens if you try it.

Dear Dr Stoll, I have done and are doing EVERYTHING I know of to help my body to heal. I have had my fillings removed two years ago. I still take DMSA to help with the detox process of mercury. If you remember, Lydia Bronte has helped me with that. I take the Multiple Support Program which is a nutritional program that was formulated in England for people with MS. I do not follow the "whole foods diet" exactly but I'm pretty close. I exercise daily. I know of many people who do great with bee pollen. Why does it make me weak? I have lived a "clean" life since the day I was DXed which was three years ago. What am I doing wrong?
If bee pollen "pulls" toxins from your body than WHAT toxins could be left? Judy

Dear Judy,
EVERYONE responds differently to bee pollen, blue-green algae and other similarly complex naturally occurring substances. No one knows how they work or whether they will work for any particular individual. Only therapeutic trial seems to give good information.
I think, in this case, you had better listen to your body and find some other "detox" method.
Also, I am a bit suspicious that you make no mention of the regular practice (at least 20 minutes twice a day--never within 2 hours of retiring) of effective skilled relaxation. Did you just forget to mention it OR, is it the part you have been putting off? In THIS culture, this is almost always the most important, single thing one can do to finally get well.
If you do a perfect diet, it might be worth 3 points of benefit to you. If you add aerobics (also worth 3 points alone), 20 minutes 3 times a week, that would make your total benefit 9 points (not 6) and if you added skilled relaxation (also worth 3 points alone) yout total benefit would now be 27 points. These approaches are multiplicative not additive.
Let me know if I am right in my suspicions because, if I am not, we are missing something here & I would like the opportunity to work with it.

David,
I have been taking noni for three months. I've read the rave reviews, but I haven't personally noticed any difference. The stuff's expensive!
Take it on an empty stomach.

dr. stoll,
with all kinds of vitamins and herbal supplements out there on the market, are there any that you take ritually? do you take a multi-vitamin, drink green tea, take bee pollen, etc. ?

Hi Judy,
A diving buddy (don't know him very well) was recently telling me about his wife that has MS. He was telling me that she is in a walker now but used to really like to dive. He takes her to a pool and he says that always at first she just sits on the bottom breathing the compressed air and barely moving. Then after about 5 - 10 minutes she starts swimming and enjoying herself. He said that once done with their dive, she is able to walk unaided for 1 minute for every two they were down. For instance, if they had a bottom time of 1/2 hour, she could walk and move normally for 15 minutes after the dive.
To me this was interesting, what is it? The nitrogen bubbles in the soft tissue and blood? My brother in law also has MS. He was a physician, who recently had to give up his practice because of MS.
I've also read about bee stings..don't know much about it though.
Take Care,
Terroe

Dear Terrie, Thanks so much for your reply. I do agree that the pool is the best place for us to be. I live in NC so we have a fairly long swimming season. After I do exercises in the pool, I get out feeling as if there is nothing wrong with me. I also know that the bee stings are not th same as bee pollen. Judy

Dear Judy,
Wow, thats great! I thought it had something to do with the compressed air because he also said something about the difference between nitrox and plain old compressed air making a difference. When you dive, you build up nitrogen in your body and I thought that might have something to do with it, too. Thats how people sometimes get "the bends", too much nitrogen.
Do you think it has something to do with being weightless, simply the exercise or both? I'm glad that you found something that feels good for you.
And don't be concerned if Dr. Stoll doesn't respond for awile. I understand that he is out of town until sometime Tuesday.
Take care and keep up the good work!

Dr. Stoll,
Please give me your opinion on a health supplement called Liquid Chlorophyll. I'm told this is an excellent dietary supplement to maintain a healthy circulatory system.
Could you please give your thoughts on this?
thanks
Cathy Hill
Dear Dr Stoll, I know you answered my question but I have a question regarding your answer. It is WHAT toxin could still be in my body? I follow a diet very close to the Whole Foods Diet. I had my mercury removed two years ago. I exercise regularly. I have been living a "clean" life for more than three years now. I don't know what else to do. Please Help!
Sincerely,Judy

Dear Judy,
Sorry I did not understand your question.
There are at least 500,000 chemical pollutants loose in the land already that you are exposed to at least every year
-----some every day. There is no real way to sort them out perfectly. Besides, electromagnetic smog greatly complicates the damage being done by each of these chemicals. Just today, in the news, it is reported how the energy companies have suppressed research showing the definite link between electromagnetic smog and human health.
So, what I AM saying is that the problem is MUCH too complex for you to be spending much time on "what toxin might still be in your body". By far the most effective utilization of your time, money & effort is to become a student of a serious "wellness program"----increase your horsepower to survive in this messed up environment.
Of course, combining both approaches is best but sometimes there is nothing you can do no matter how much effort you put in. That means it is time to go around the wall rather than continuing to beat your head on the wall trying to go through it.
Is this making sense?
Walt
