7d ago28:58

28:58

Ever heard of immunoglobulins? While colostrum is experiencing a renaissance, you should seriously weigh the immunoglobulin supplement versus colostrum benefits. Partly because colostrum is a LOWER potency option, that sometimes isn’t even standardized (depending on the brand) to guarantee how helpful it will be. That said, immunoglobulins (aka. Ig…

Gut parasites can be so frustratingly tricky to get a clear answer whether you have them or not.

Did you know that skin problems can be signs of hidden parasites-gut imbalances?

34:33

“Why am I so itchy?” If you have itchy skin without rash, including issues like eczema, psoriasis, or chronic hives, you might have neuropathic itch. Though itch is caused primarily by inflammation, neuropathic itch is actually caused by dysfunction of your nervous system! Put simply, this type of itch has no primary skin rash, so you won’t see inf…

3M ago47:54

47:54

What are the causes of eczema? Can you get eczema genes? Is psoriasis genetic?

39:39

Childhood eczema treatment options can get confusing fast, especially if you don’t know what’s driving your child’s itchy skin rash in the first place. If your child is scratching constantly, it’s easy to blame histamine (and think it’s a histamine intolerance issue). Or if they have scaly eczema skin, it’s easy to blame food and start to cut more …
