Radio Naturopath Episode 535: Demodex, Blepharitis, Toenail Fungus, Knee Surgery
Fran Storch

This week, I talked about the dreaded DEMODEX BLEPHARITIS, that nasty mite that loves to hand out in your eyelids. There are natural and pharmaceutical ways of eradicating it and we talk about them! As if that's not bad enough, there's TOENAIL FUNGUS, natural help for that too, but the pharmaceuticals work faster. We finish with how sham surgery can help knee pain better than meniscus repair.

Radio Naturopath Episode 356: Choice, Food Intolerances, Toenail Fungus!

Radio Naturopath Episode 356: Choice, Food Intolerances, Toenail Fungus!

Today I talked about Canada Day, since Canada is the first place I practiced naturopathic medicine! Then I moved on to talk about my views on choice in light of the landmark overturning of Roe vs. Wade on Friday, June, 24, 2022.

Radio Naturopath Episode 227: CBD: Benefits and Caveats; How to Treat Athlete's Foot and Other Fungus

Fran Storch and Ron Manizza

Today we checked in with Ron who is mostly well, and is trying to dial in his thyroid dose. We are still waiting to see if his thyroiditis was chronic, genetic and set off by the Lyme, or if it was an acute thyroiditis caused by the Lyme which will ultimately resolve. We'll only know if his thyroid medicine dose gradually appears to be too much, and we'll dial it back.

CBD is continuing to impress me! I am sleeping better, feeling cheerier, and feeling better during exercise. We also had a caller who wanted us to discuss the caveats of cannabis, so we did: genetically it may not be for you, and any substance you use can be problematic if it doesn't work for you. I also talked about candida, athlete's foot and toenail fungus, how it occurs and how to treat it.
