I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results that show an IgE level of more than 2000. I've been dealing with eczema for a while now, and it's been quite challenging. Also, my WBC count came back at 12,000. Can you help me understand what these numbers might mean for my health? Is there something specific I should be worried about or focus on addressing?

Based on your IgE levels being more than 2000 and your history of eczema, it indicates a strong allergic response in your body. To help manage your symptoms, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, for your eczema, you can use a topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily on the affected areas

I've been taking BTN ultra tablets to help control my grey hair since my doctor first recommended them back in 2016. I used them pretty regularly at that time, and then again on and off in 2017 and 2018, and I didn't notice any negative effects. My doctor mentioned that if I want to continue using these tablets, it's best to do it randomly, like using them for a couple of weeks and then taking a break. So, I'm wondering if its safe to keep using BTN ultra in this random way in the future. Also, is there any risk of side effects from using biotin mineral tablets long-term, even if its not continuous? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this!

I've been experiencing severe hair loss, especially with nightfall, and I'm thinking about starting biotin supplements, like a 5000mcg dose, to help with hair growth. I'm also taking triphala to cool down my body and ashvashila for energy right now. I'm a bit worried, though will adding biotin really help with my situation, or is there a chance it might cause any issues with the other stuff I'm taking?
