Listening to Dr. Will speak about anything is soothing! ❤

[@kristingoettlicher3503]

I wonder how beneficial other mints are besides peppermint? I grow my own mints for tea, chocolate mint, spearmint, etc.

I argued with my Dr for a year over me wanting to come off Prilosec. I never had heart burn in my life until I tried to go cold turkey off it. I was given it for sharp pains in my left in side. It did not help but my Dr told me it wouldn't hurt just keep taking it. 😤 When I stopped taking it i went to the ER certain I was having a heart attack. I convinced my PCP to prescribe a lower dose of Prilosec then very slowly weened off it over a few months with the help of gavascon. It's been a few years now and I feel so much better.

[@g.e.boroush5176]

You had proton pump rebound which makes it difficult to get off proton pump inhibitors. Google the term and you will learn how to get off of Prilosec and other PPI's. Then, when you get a little indigestion, just take a Tums and don't get addicted to a PPI again.

I put a full teaspoon of cinnamon in my oatmeal every morning.....quit putting it in my coffee because it doesn't dissolve, have to keep stirring to disperse it

[@PeggyKey]

Love this video❤

[@karendunn866]

Would have loved to hear quantities of the spices to get the benefits. How much black pepper is needed to activate turmeric? What amount of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon are added to coffee?

[@carolynbridge2087]

I believe it’s Ceylon Cinnamon we need to use not the Saigon cinnamon is that correct ?

[@RK-tf8pq]

Yes. The Chinese cinnamon contains coumarin which can be toxic to liver in higher doses (should consume less than a teaspoon for an adult). Sri Lankan cinnamon does not contain coumarin. Both are anti inflammatory.Coumarin can lower blood sugar, but must be careful with doses.

I take a presciption drug that causes intense gut cramping, occasional vomiting, occasional diarrhea. I can attest that peppermint tea or sucking on peppermint candy is extremely helpful. My Doc prescribed additional drugs for the gut problems (isn't that the way our medical system does it? - take another drug so that you can take the first drug? Jeesh!!) which I rejected since the peppermint works just fine. I'm a big fan of peppermint - very helpful.

[@brendarogers2359]

I’m in the same boat and find peppermint really helps. I’ve been sucking on peppermint candy. Need to get the sugar out. How do you prepare your tea?

[@julieb-yo5hu]

What is the serving sizes to use for each spice?

[@Stardust713-y6e]

I t would be a Festivus miracle if some talking head EVER even suggested serving size for spices!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NO4NAME4]

Thank You for updating the Thumbnail of Dr B. The previous Thumbnail was not the most flattering of Dr B. 😊

[@carolmorgano7158]

👍👍👏👏🇦🇺loved the podcast

[@thecelticgiraffe]

Speaking about the pain lotion. There are some in states where cannabis is legal that are marvelous at stopping joint pain. Way better than anything on the open market and totally given to us by nature. Highly recommended.

[@angelahill3556]

Cannabis was a medicine until big farmer came along and stopped it. Cannabis is a medicine given by God to heal people. Just like all the other herbs and spices that the Lord has given us to heal our bodies.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

It looks like Icy Hot USED to contain capsaicin but they discontinued those product lines.

[@angelahill3556]

You can make your own pain cream just like that stuff without any toxic ingredients.

[@carmenbailey1560]

I used black pepper years ago to the point there my guts can’t handle it anymore, so using turmeric without pepper would be pointless, unless white pepper would work. I was told black pepper was the hardest thing to use on one’s stomach, would love to know if that’s true.

[@aureliaglenn2220]

Maybe use turmeric with ginger, as ginger also increases the bioavailability of ingredients.

[@chiyerano]

I read somewhere that fat can also increase the absorption of turmeric compounds in food.

[@claudiahost8673]

Would love to hear info on "Long Covid". Apparently no cure, lots of data gathering right now and mostly doctors addressing the varied symptoms. But there is a significant % of Long Covid patients with GI involvement. Others of your audience may have this interest as well. Much thanks.

Turmeric “ and it tastes pretty good too “ What!! 😂😂 I do use it a lot for it’s benefits. Definitely not for its taste and that’s for sure.

[@skindog68]

Hello everyone

[@nitaweitzel822]

Hello to U

[@Arugula100]

The only problem with Indian food is the coconut oil, coconut cream, and coconut far they add to curry. What does Dr B say?

[@chiyerano]

Nothing wrong with coconuts. I would be more concerned about the dairy and ghee that are often used in curry and other dishes.

[@RK-tf8pq]

@@Arugula100 Coconut oil is mainly used in the state of Kerala (which is in south India). . In most of India, various other oils are used. Most of the Indian restaurants abroad are Punjabi style (Punjab is in the North). So I would not worry too much about the use of coconut oil. If you are unsure, ask the server. Coconut cream and coconut fat are also mainly used in South Indian dishes.

[@happycook6737]

PCRM launched in India several years ago and included curries without oils/fats.

[@CompanionAnimals2011]

I worked with a man from India that chewed on fennel seeds after eating. He said it was for his breath. I couldn't stand it, I could smell it from across the room. 😮

[@RK-tf8pq]

If you chew it, I think you would like it. (It does smell strong to those not used it, but it tastes refreshing and a little sweet).

[@angelahill3556]

Ajwain seeds are less potent than fennel. I chew just a couple when I have gut aches and they work

[@aboutsupplies]

A "health" channel and not telling you about the heavy metals in both non and organic spices? Thyme: All tested products had concerning levels of heavy metals. Oregano: Similar to thyme, all tested products had concerning levels of heavy metals. Turmeric: Some products were found to have heavy metal contamination. Basil: Certain products showed heavy metal contamination. Paprika: Some products had heavy metal contamination.

[@pizzamahn1208]

Will blocked me on instagram because I said nobody needed his supplement lol

[@pizzamahn1208]

So sick of this dude promoting his supplement

[@g.e.boroush5176]

You don't have to watch. Just move along to something that you enjoy more. But, then again, that's pretty obvious isn't it?
