Now some of you may have lost your sense of smell.  I see this commonly in patients who do not have adequate circulating zinc levels.  Zinc is depleted by wheat, soy and sugar consumption.  We have a test on our webpage that you can self-administer.  The directions are easy:  take two measured droppers of zinc sulfate and hold them in your mouth for ten seconds, then swallow.  If you taste nothing; that would suggest to me that you need to avoid the above mentioned items and increase your Celtic Sea Salt®.  Continue to take two droppers a day until you taste it. 

I would also suggest pumpkin and sunflower seeds added to your salad or your daily routine.  Normally you should have a bitter metal taste.  A hair analysis is a very objective way to assess many minerals in your body.  It is also available on my webpage at www.DruglessDoctor.com.

Other body signals that indicate a need for zinc would be white spots on your nails, cuts that heal slowly, memory issues, blood sugar stress and craving sugar.  I do have other body signals for other questions you may wonder about in “Dr. Bob’s Drugless Guide to Balancing Female Hormones” that can help you on your quest for optimal health.
