    Watched apothecary over the last few days, seeing some of you liked it. It's good, but it feels like it's a remake of Saiunkoku Monogatari. Which was great, though.

    I'm giving a little bit of Iodine as well, it's pretty damn easy to have a diet low on iodine, especialy for kids, as fish is full of heavy metals.. You probably don't want to overdo it. Iodine probably does more for brain development than Omega 3. We know iodine greatly affect brain...

    When facing an obese patient, with reflux, hbp and high TC, most doctors will prescribe 3 drugs for life, with serious long term effects, rather than even suggesting to lose weight, while we know that the root cause of all 3 problems is very likely to be obesity. It's not entirely their faut...

    Gaviscon is a fairly small dose of anti acids. It's main effect is to make a sort of paste on the top of the stomach liquids, preventing it for moving up.

    You might want to add Gaviscon to the deal for lpr, it can't hurt and will help, especialy if it's a non acidic reflux. Unlike Omeprazol it's very safe... You can try gargling some baking soda, if you feel instant relief, it's probably that your pain is caused by pepsin coming up your throat...

    You take a daily dose of pollen, starting with very small dose. It will itch your throat, and after a while you'll tolerate it, then you increase dose, until allergies have gone.

    I'd do a vitamin D level test, vitamin D deficiency can definitely cause low blood calcium. If vit D is low, you probably want to get 10k IU per day for 3 months.
