Dr Mobley,
I heard something about a Parkinson’s Education Meeting that is upcoming but didn’t get the details. How can I find out more about that…I think I heard May 8th???
Thanks so much, Todd
I’m 55 years old, my weight fluctuates between 96.5 and 99 and I’m 5′ tall.
I am a runner (usually about 30 miles/week). The last 2 or 3 weeks I have been having a tough time with my running. My legs seem heavy when I run and sometimes during the day my legs feel a little weaker than normal(more like the sensation when a person is nervous or anxious). Hard to explain! Also, when I run, I feel like I have to breath a little deeper than usual.
Thank you for any ideas!
Are you taking any new medicare patients. I am wanting to come see you. I am seeing another dr for an ongoing bladder problem but my dr is only here one day a week.
Thanks
Glen Payne
Dr Mobley. I heard your show today and I learned so much about MS. I have Multifocal Motor Neuropathy. I have had this since 1998. Just hit me. I working with Dr Harati. I have been on the IVIG since 98. This is just on my right side. The treatments would last,at the beginning, about 7 months. Now I must get them every month. I have lost muscle mass where, in my right hand and arm,that I can hardly open my rightand, and my right foot is very weak.I was told this is in the MS family. I did today get the Vit D and B-12. Im not sure the IVIG will ever help me, but hearing yall talk today, I might take another route. He has said that the IVIG is a preventative. Im 59 yrs old now. Im wondering if you can maybe help me with this, or is Dr Harati right on with this IVIG treatment. I really like Dr Harati. If you have any advice, i would appreciate it. Scott Hamm
Would like a copy of that draft you are discussing.
Dr. Mobley,
I am a 67 year-old male. After taking Proscar and its generic equivalent for more than ten (10) years, some 5-weeks ago I developed a painful and tender area around the nipple in my right breast area. The disconfort and tenderness was acompanied by an enlargement of the breast area as well. An ultrasound (sonogram) ordered by my family doctor did not reveal lumps or inflamed limph nodes. I did stop taking finasteride 5mg manufactured by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories in India 2-weeks ago, but the disconfort continues. Please provide me with advise. I have also been taking Lipitor-80mg, Tricor-145mg, Flomax-0.4mg and 81mg of aspirin per day.

My husband told me he heard you give 9 points to extending your life on your radio broadcast. How can we get a copy?

After my yearly physicality my lab report came back with an elevated PSA 4,8 Total and Free was 10 my last physical was 2 1/2 years ago and it was 3,4 then. My Urologist wants to have a biopsy done and if I have to I will, but my question is. Why aren’t MRI s with a
MR spectroscopic imaging or other types (there are several) not use more in order to obtained a better picture of the location of the cancer before you even do a biopsy?
In reading about biopsy’s it is my understanding that there can be complications, pain in some cases, having a negative biopsy by not heating the cancerous region (and at times having 2 or 3 biopsy’s before the cancer is found) and if it comes back positive an MRI is done any way in order to obtain the exact location.The Journal of Applied Radiology of January 2009 have an excellent article as to the different MRI techniques to locate prostrate cancer.It really seems to me that if the statistic of 1 out 5 men develops prostrate cancer during their lifetime, the cost of the MRI would not be as prohibited and a lot more effective in treating prostrate cancer, not to mentioned much less stressful for the patient!
My husband told me he heard you give your nine point program to extending your life. How can I get a copy?
My son Robert is in with Dr. Mobley today from spring woods high school.
This is my first opportunity to visit this website. I found some interesting things and I will apply to the development of my blog. Thanks for sharing useful information.
Are prostate massagers safe for regular use? Is there really such a thing as a “Super Orgasm” as claimed by the vendors who sell the prostate massage devices?
What was the name of the omega 3 pills that help your eyes if there dry. Was it fish tears?
My husband told me about your discussion on cancer today, April 25th, with a lady doctor. He said it was very informative. Is there a transcript of the program? As a recent breast cancer survivor, I would like to be able to share this information.

Anyone know of the use of Stem Cells to treat Degenerative Disc Disease, DDD. I know of Mesoblast and Regenex. Dr. Mobley told me of a Doctor in Houston who has done this. I called this doctor a week ago and asked. I was told they would get back to me but have not heard from them. Please post here.
Thank You…
What can fasting do for me? Should I be under medical supervision? Is a prolonged fast dangerous? How long should I fast? How do I end a long fast?
Fasting was once a common way of dealing with sickness and spiritual issues. In recent times, fasting for health has fallen into disuse, in deference to the quick-fix promise of modern drugs which may only complicate and further drain the body’s resources. Fasting is recently becoming a preferred method of treatment in conditions associated with heart disease, digestive problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diabetes, Arthritis, Chornic Fatigue, allergies and joint pain. A properly conducted therapeutic fast can allow the body to rapidly mobilize and eliminate toxic and metabolic accumulations. Fasting allows the body to undergo radical metabolic change that is requently associated with the normalization of body weight, blood pressure and circulation. Elevations of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes and inflammation markers are often rapidly corrected. Fasting allows the body to do what it does best …heal itself!
The Physician Within
“Everyone has a physician inside him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick is to feed your sickness.”
– Hippocrates “The Father of Medicine”
“Instead of using medicine, rather, fast a day.”
– Plutarch

Just caught the last of a show last week, you interviewed a hearing aid specialist, George ??? doing sound pressure test…
Was that Hearing Aids of Texas, on Tidwell???
Phone #
Bill,
Hearing Aids of Texas is on the Southwest Freeway at W. Bellfort. The address is 11285 Southwest Freeway, #180, Houston, TX 77031; office phone is 281-530-8300. Give George Gaenslen a call; I also heard the program and took my husband to see him. He got us fixed up and now we understand “how” hearing aids work. I can’t wait for the aids to come in more than my husband! Good luck!
Hey, Bill. You can listen to George Gaenslen’s KSEV interview on the Homework Houston page on this web site. Click on Homework Houston from the “Programs” page. Then, click on Homework Houston interviews. George is a great guy. Ask him about the Sound Pressure Level test.
