The Doctor is In with Dr. Laurie Marbas

[@paulorr353]

Late to the party here and wasn’t sure the best place to post a question. We literally went chasing waterfalls in Middle Tennessee, last weekend. Two ticks discovered and dined on me. Called my local doctor and he prescribed Doxycycline. I have taken for 5 days and the fast forming ring around the more serious bite is looking better. I guess I have decimated by microbiome. Any suggestions Dr Marbas? Take the full 10 days worth of meds? Thank you!

Hi Dr. Laurie, I eat a mainly plant based diet but I keep hearing about the health benefits of eating fish. Aside from how polluted the oceans are and issues of over fishing, what are your thoughts about having fish once or twice a week from a health benefit viewpoint.

I am a purist...why not just omegas from the algae where the fish get it. Why eat the pollutants, cholesterol, and inflammatory components of any animal? Plus, at this point in my journey the idea of eating any animal is nauseating.

@@DrLaurieMarbas Dr. Laurie, Thank you for your reply. I very much appreciate that you took the time. If I want to try an algae based omega, what form do you suggest ? I wonder if the algae oil is more likely to turn rancid or lose it's efficacy ? Are tablet forms just as effective ?

@@sherryfader8920 Nature Made 540 mg or Nordic Naturals 715 mg algae omega-3s are the ones I recommend.
