Doc, pls add Ferritin iron test to the list as high iron is an issue these days as well as low iron (many seen in vegans). High iron overload has similar symptoms as low iron. Iron overload can be caused by a genentic mutated gene Hemochromatosis (in EU spelled Haemochromatosis). Major health issue with both high or low iron. Processed food has a ton of iron added especially cereals which has 2 to 3 times the daily iron requirement. add liver test also liver enzymes and a fibroscan. The liver is one of the most important organs...without a healthy liver we die. Most citizens these days have sick livers that are driving their sickness all over their bodies and will cause an early death. Doctors ignore the liver and talk about "heart health"...overlooking the liver. Our food, drinks, air, water etc are all full of poison which ends up sitting in the liver causing sickness and liver damage. Liver health needs to be talked about more and understood by primary doctors.
Doktors examine, make them take all of these tests, and prescribe big pharma drugs! Sodium/salt free diets, everything, if it tastes good it is BAD FOR US, and if it tastes like cardboard or horse oats it is good for us!
My dad had low sodium and albumin, I got blessed to have him stay with me while he recovered from a long hospital stay. I did beef him up a bit with tons of healthy aromatic meals. The best four months of my life caring for my hero.
Doing that with my husband after valve replacement! Hospital stay wreaked havoc on his overall health! I am so happy to feed him healthy home cooked meals! Food is medicine’
So this happaned to me. I went numb and had nueropathy. I thought that was it and I was 46. I had low sodium and something else low but my kidneys were good. They sent me P.T. It did nothing. I stopped drinking so much water and it went away. Do not drink too much water America! 🇺🇸 I was in serious trouble. My head, eyes, arms, leg were numb, tingling pain, for months until I figured out what to do. I actually watched Dr. Berg because I wasn’t getting better and thought I had MS or worse. The same thing happened to Dr. Berg.
Outstanding information and I concur. I would like to add something if you don't mind. When my mother was in and out of s cardiac rehab facilities, I noticed a trend. Sodium levels dangerously low and that is because the rounding doctors in these facilities dumb down their patients with SSRIs. When a patient has a low sodium level, it is imperative that the reinduction of sodium should be at a very slow pace. Otherwise there could be neurological complications. I would say 80% of the facilities were prescribing antidepressants. This angers me greatly. In addition to your narrative, I would include magnesium. Magnesium levels need to be at 2.0. most doctors do not check for magnesium. And when they do, they see a value of 1.6. it automatically want to put in a pacemaker. Atrial fibrillation. This is another example of a unnecessary revenue stream. And always check ferritin levels. I am trying to get the word out to family practitioners here in the United States to check ferritin levels. As you know, doc, high ferritin levels can wreak havoc on the liver/ pancreas, /heart /spleen/ and so on. Most doctors miss hemochromatosis and polycythemia. When the blood is at a high viscosity, it can also wreak havoc on your heart valves. I see a lot of valve(s) regurge in patients that have high RBC, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. I'm sorry that I jump in so much, but I look at things through a surgeons view. Sorry for the grammar errors but I trust you understand. I'm using my voice to text feature and it is not perfected. I'm on my phone and I don't have time to correct everything. Thanks again for your very accomplished service as a physician.
@@drsuneeldhand Thank you Doctor Dhand. When I referenced my mom in a rehab center, I want to clarify that she was post hospital, in a cardiac rehabilitation center.

And then there is the computer, that ruins all direct contact with the patient… ❤️🇳🇴👍 Thank you for restoring a fraction of respect dr Suneel! 🙏🏻
We are out there. But external forces favor the idiots and medical care in the US is not the same since the insurance carriers told us how to treat people.
My ears perk up every time you say, over 65 and I save all advice for senior citizens. You answer the questions that I don't even know to ask. You are my source for healthy living and I can't thank you enough 😊😊
My grandmother was in a nursing home to regain strength after a relatively brief hospital stay to get rid of fluid build up due to congestive heart failure. She was on a low sodium diet due to the congestive heart failure (which they obviously over did). At the nursing home, she complained of nausea for multiple days with it increasing over the days (they ignored it and gave her something to settle her stomach but no blood tests), she finally had a seizure, was moved back to the hospital and passed away. Primary cause of death was hyponatremia (low sodium), secondary: congestive heart failure. If your loved one is on a low sodium diet and complaining of increasing nausea, insist blood tests be done and when they ignore you, continue to insist until they finally give in just to get you to shut up.
It's so nice to hear your posts. Very educational & show a true concern & care for patients which doesn't seem to be the norm especially for elder patients. Thank you!
I had low Sodium levels at 129 & 128 & my GP Dr in the UK didn't tell me or state how serious it was. I trusted her so didn't realise it was that abnormal. I had so many classic symptoms that were overlooked for over 9 months. I ended up in hospital where they left me in A & E for 16 hrs. Went down to 125 initially. Never gave me the Sodium Chloride IV of 1 & a half litres. Got dreadful muscle cramps in legs, violently sick etc. Nobody believed me on the ward that it wasn't given to me IV. They nearly finished me off! I was not taking in enough salt or enough protein. I started getting the symptoms again & asked for a blood test & was told by a GP Dr that all my results were normal. I wanted to get a print out & check it. I now knew what it was meant to be. It was 129! I now take Celtic Sea Salt throughout the day to help.
I too have started taking Celtic salt . I heard it's good for all round health with all it's minerals I had a private blood test recently here in the UK , that checked for a number of things . The results came via email , but it's all gobbley gook to me . I need someone to desypher it .
No other doctors ever informed me about these important and life-saving markers. I haven't met or consulted Dr. Dhand in person but he has helpwd me to maintain my health. Lesson of the day - Seeing a doctor extends beyond seeing a human who calls himself or herself as a doctor.....
@@desertodavid Yes, of course it does. I was not getting enough salt in my diet. So much in the UK is low salt or no salt. I wasn't cooking either. It stops the symptoms & raised BP. Now my BP is normal etc.
I’m sorry! I’m in poor health as well. I was hit with toxic implants 21 years ago, autoimmunes, mold, infections, and now Lyme and other infections. I’m in pain 24/7. I’m praying for you❣️🙏
@@karenb3662 YES!!!! But I didn’t know I was sick because of the implants for 12 1/2 years! It’s such a medical cover up! Plastic surgeons LIED!!! There’s a black box warning on them now!
I had to have a blood test as part of a fitness to drive test at age 75. Had not seen a doctor for anything for years. Discovered that I was prediabetic and had ckd. Changed my diet and lifestyle and now all ok
Not disparaging the good doctor as he gives great tips to safeguard one’s health and I often take his advice. He’s one of the good docs for sure. But short of taking a wrecking ball to your health by living hard and fast by drinking, smoking , eating to excess and being about as active as a slug, not to mention crapping out on the genetics lottery, we all live to roughly the same general lifespan anyway. I think one of the worst things we can do is obsess about our health beyond a general wellness lifestyle , thus creating an unhealthful and unhelpful stress that does us no good.
I had 100 ESR and 58 CRP, culminating with my belly button breaking, releasing small intestine contents. It took 4 1/2 years to learn that I had industrial mesh and other mesh that eroded from hernia repair. I am very thankful to be alive, even as a short bowel and reconstructed bladder person. I truly appreciate your videos. Blessings to you.
@@kt1696 Los Angeles! Here is another kicker: I got hair analysis for the second time, which revealed Antimony and Lead levels ALL THE WAY OFF THE CHART!!! Now I need to find out if those levels are from mesh that was left in me or asbestos from my work place! So disgusting to get so catastrophically injured and not able to find representation, but if you slander someone, they can get millions 🤔 If your husband can get the best scan that reveals lesions or erosion and hair analysis for toxic metal contamination, that would be good. I don't know if I mentioned before, but make it make sense to me, how suddenly in the world, everyone, with or without patient's permission, need mesh, when the human body is the greatest miracle, next to the creation of the Heavens and Earth!!! There are a few people who don't have enough protein to make muscle strength, but I wasn't one of them, at the time they put the meshes in me. Best blessings and health to your family.
I worry about Doctors’ totally relying on blood tests and NICE’s figure ranges. I said in 2020 there was something going on with my thyroid. I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 30 years. The blood tests took 18 months to catch up with my ‘feeling’. Now bloods are showing TSH levels fluctuating from hypo to hyper and back again. Every time I have a blood test, I have a doctor whose job it is to telephone everyone with an abnormal blood test that day. They are only reading that one blood test and simply adjust the medication. I’ve had to put a halt to that and demand a f2f with MY GP, because clearly, it needs more investigation. Secondly, I’ve needed B12 injections every 12 weeks for 25 years. The OK range is different to Australia and the USA. You’re allowed a much lower count in this country. I’m now starting to get peripheral neuropathy, but doctors just say ‘your bloods are fine’. So basically, doctors now only treat our blood, regardless of what is going on at cellular level. Neither will I accept a response of ‘it’s your age’ when I have a medical issue’, I always ask ‘…and what would you diagnose if I wasn’t this age?’ Ageism is as unacceptable as racism, but it happens without recourse on a daily basis. As I age, I have less and less confidence in the NHS (the institution, not its’ workforce) and its’ ability to keep us safe.
I now have my blood work done at Medichecks so that I can get T3, T4, FT3 and FT4 tests which were something I couldn’t and still can’t get on the NHS. I take Natural Desiccated Thryoid medication and have done for about 6 years. I lost weight and felt better, but the damage had been done by incorrect medication dosing and I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2011. The doctors absolutely HATE that I’ve taken control of my symptoms and meds, but that’s their tough luck, not mine 😅
I’ll never know the results of these three tests since I have no intention of visiting the psychopaths in the medical profession to get any tests done. I’ll likely live longer by avoiding those killers. 70 now, no meds, great health, with no intention of letting anyone give me health advice, test anything pertaining to me, or give me any form of medical intervention. I’ll die on my terms, thanks all the same.
My sodium levels have always been low in spite of how much salt I put on my food and good quality salt too. It usually is 134. It has been like that for more than a decade.
Why even bother if over 65. I’m not going to start getting various blood tests. I’m staying away from doctors. We need to eat healthy foods, exercise, get lots of good water, socialization/stimulation for the brain, prayer and sunshine. Stay out of the medical mill. They will find something if you go looking.
I only see a doctor if absolutely forced to. These days 10 minute session costing over $70 and 6 minutes I'd spent on them looking at your stuff on screen and so on. It's PATHETIC. Really they are legal drug pushers.
After catching kung flu back early in 2020 I was unable to work and had chronic fatigue for the next 3 years. I'm 61 now. We went through a bad financial patch and I lost four back teeth. They simply fell out and my gums bled a lot. Eventually I saw a doctor who diagnosed sever Anemia and malnutrition and I was treated with some stuff in a drip. It made a huge difference but I had to find money for treatment as the medical aid refused to pay although we are fully paid up.
The older I get (I'm over 70), the less value I see in living longer. Life becomes a burden when your health just deteriorates. My doc tests my blood every time I go and I'm telling him to FO next time about that.
sad comments here. 😢 I'm 78, eat mostly carnivore diet and still jog, hike, swim, ride a horse, and help hubby clearing our 6A and remodeling our 4bd home for resale. (Then maybe we will slow down a bit...maybe.) I want to see our little great grand son grow up!! My super-power is I had arthritis in my mid-20's and that started me into low carb eating and fitness. May God bless you all with a clear path to improved health and renwed sense of purpose. ❤️🙏❤️
This is very good information. Iam 64 but have no doctor. During covid I lost respect and trust for the establishment. I will not contract with them when I turn 65. I will use alternative practitioners if I have a need. Well...if I found a real doctor of integrity I would see them like you Dr. Dhand. You are so smart! I know very little about that world you live in so thank you for teaching us.❤
My mother was prone to having a sodium deficiency and she would either have a seizure when she had the low sodium.She had adrenal gland removed it had a tumor that was being watched and her dr explained. that it had grown to a size that it shouldn’t have so usually the person would have to be cut in half to get to the problem and he was going through a class of removing this particular type of adrenal gland removal,mom was 75 years old and she told the dr God has given you the ability to do this surgery and I have faith in God so yes sir you finish your training and I will allow you to do the surgery. She did the surgery and lived another 10 years and she had only a few seizure episodes which was caused from her not taking a medication that was prescribed for her it was expensive but she would not take it and salt problem was back.She really did very well considering her age .thanks again for your help in explaining this rarely checked disorder.
Dear Dr Dhand, I don't suppose my GP here in Scotland has ever seen even one of those 3 blood tests for me and when I have asked for blood tests they have been refused. I looked up the cost of having private ones done and it seems virtually impossible from this location. If it was possible it would cost a lot. I appreciate your honesty and thoroughness but that is not the sort of care on offer under the Scottish NHS and I cannot pay privately. I can't even get a referral for an opinion on my orthopaedic needs but must wait until it is much more painful. An X-ray was ordered. Even I know a GP cannot tell from an X-ray the full story of a) a breaking down 11 year old prosthetic hip, or b) the breakdown of the other one. But thanks anyway.
When I visit my family in France, I ask the local GP to prescribe a full blood test. He charged me 16 Euros for the visit and the lab charged me 40 Euros for the blood test, results of which are emailed to me within 48 hours.
That was very useful, Dr. Suneel. As a retired faculty in Biochemistry and also in charge of clinical laboratory, I can appreciate the importance of these tests. One more test, I would like to suggest is Serum Uric acid in Diabetic patients as it indicates the severity and complications in Gouty Arthritis.
I took a screen shot of the 3 blood tests for future reference. I'm a healthy 68 y.o. and hubby is a healthy 71 y.o., but I know I have to be informed before anything bad happens.
My mother had ESRD, Cirrhosis of the liver(non-alcoholic), atherosclerosis, CHF, gastroparesis, a GTube and type 2 diabetes. 3 weeks before passing away, she lost her eyesight. She passed away recently, after her blood clotting mechanism failed. My mother’s blood tests had all of these markers. I see certain aspects of the healthcare industry as causing and/or exacerbating the deterioration of her conditions. Very upsetting……
WHY CANT ALL IN THE MEDICAL FRATERNITY BE HONEST LIKE YOU DR. THANK YOU FOR EVERY PIECE OF LIFE SAVING INFORMATION YOU SO FREELY SHARE WITH US. YOUR COMPASSION FOR THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS IS OVERWHELMING. GOD BLESS YOU.
It’s totally unbelievable how many older people are tricked by these test my parents says to hell with them I’m beginning to understand why now thank you on my terms when the time comes!!! Thank doctor!🙏
Ive learned through the years that all medications if you take long term deplete other important nutrients in the body. For instance i used to take a steroid inhaler that depletes potassium in the body....(youre never told this by drs ) and this leads on to more meds Someone very close to me is on an antidepressant that depletes sodium. I find this appalling. My advice is look up any meds youre on and see what they deplete in the body.
My dad has heart failure which affects his kidneys. He is on lots of diuretics which flush out too much salt and on restircted water intake. Heart nurse yesterday said eat a packet of salty crisps a day.
My CRP has been from 45 to 75 for the last 5 yrs. I've had every test available, and they can't find what is causing my inflammation. I gave up when they wanted to give me medicine for rheumatoid arthritis which I did not have, just because. I feel like crap all of the time, but I will not take medicine for something that I don't have.
Try a semi carnivore diet for a few months. If you don't mind eggs, bacon, chicken, turkey or ground beef, I found it was much less epensive than my "regular" diet because I only bought a few foods. Good luck.
My opinion is, Dr should be over 60 yrs, to understand & diagonise with their experiential knowledge. & mentor senior citizens. Tough ask but 100% true. Look for one and pick up health & enjoy every minute. Cheers.
@@r.f.j.5994 That's a great Creatinine level. Using CKD-EPI Formula your GFR is 93.6. Your kidneys are like money in the bank. Look out, look out, there's harvesters about.

I'm 77. I'm aware of the need for Sodium and Protein...so I make sure I have Redmond's Salt or Celtic Sea Salt - balanced by Potassium and Magnesium. I eat some animal Protein every day. My Health is quite good. I never see doctors. At 77 - I'm gonna die, tomorrow or 30 years from now. Not having Tests!
Interesting… for those younger the risk of various diseases when caught early like breast and colon cancer can save lives. But going into late 70’s and older perhaps the risk is less because for whatever reason screening is less productive. Ideally bond with an MD you can trust who will know you as a person for you may benefit when need for end of life care comes knocking at the door.
Dr. Dhand, question: Do you believe yearly Pap smears are necessary for women? What about mammograms? I just don’t know if scraping the cervix every year is the right thing to do. It seems that would aggravate the cervix and is not good for it. Same with smashing breast tissue.
Thank you very much. I have low sodium at 133 level. combined with breathing trouble when I am laying down. I am going to press my doctor very hard at my appointment today to try to figure out a solution to this. I just can’t believe how lucky I was that your video popped up this morning because my appointment is this afternoon. I was already thinking of pressing it but the information you presented here now gives me more information that I need for the meeting. Thank you again
it's never too late! medicine and science have always used the metric system. You already know the metric system... money! 10 pennies = dime, 10 dimes = 1 dollar, Ten 1 dollar bills = 10 dollar bill... etc.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Not in USA. Odd, we have used metric for money but resisted metric measurements for years. Currently using metric but when I was young (79 now) it was not commonly used in doctors/hospitals. Can't give you an exact year.
I was having symptoms of dementia. MRI showed no issues. Bloodwork showed very very low B12. After B12 shots and daily B12 vitamin, these symptoms went away.

@@desertodavid Yes, of course it does. I was not getting enough salt in my diet. So much in the UK is low salt or no salt. I wasn't cooking either. It stops the symptoms & raised BP. Now my BP is normal etc.
Morton’s table salt is fortified with iodine, a very necessary element. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
OMG what about heart and salt intake!! Don't eat salt is what we are told
Dear REal Doctor ! thank you for your knowledge which you so generously share with us! Thank you for your care !
Appreciate you very much Dr. This info sounds adequate for 60 through 100! I take care of a centarian, my mom
Bless you! My mom did the same for her parents who each lived to 104.
Thank you so much. I'm disabled and in poor health. I'm very underweight and sick with pleurisy right now.
I hope you can feel better soon 🌻
I’m sorry! I’m in poor health as well. I was hit with toxic implants 21 years ago, autoimmunes, mold, infections, and now Lyme and other infections. I’m in pain 24/7. I’m praying for you❣️🙏
@@Tinyteacher1111 did you have the implants removed?
@@karenb3662 YES!!!! But I didn’t know I was sick because of the implants for 12 1/2 years! It’s such a medical cover up! Plastic surgeons LIED!!! There’s a black box warning on them now!
I had to have a blood test as part of a fitness to drive test at age 75. Had not seen a doctor for anything for years. Discovered that I was prediabetic and had ckd. Changed my diet and lifestyle and now all ok
Not disparaging the good doctor as he gives great tips to safeguard one’s health and I often take his advice. He’s one of the good docs for sure. But short of taking a wrecking ball to your health by living hard and fast by drinking, smoking , eating to excess and being about as active as a slug, not to mention crapping out on the genetics lottery, we all live to roughly the same general lifespan anyway. I think one of the worst things we can do is obsess about our health beyond a general wellness lifestyle , thus creating an unhealthful and unhelpful stress that does us no good.
Not knowing nearly killed me.
@@susibul5320 exactly
I have been stressing about my health and my dr. I had to back off vids a while.
Dr. Dhand is the first doctor l go to even before my local GP.
May God bless and protect you always Dr Dhand.
I had 100 ESR and 58 CRP, culminating with my belly button breaking, releasing small intestine
contents. It took 4 1/2 years to learn that I had industrial mesh and other mesh that eroded from hernia repair. I am very thankful to be alive, even as a short bowel and reconstructed bladder person.
I truly appreciate your videos. Blessings to you.
Can i ask was the hernia operation done in the UK? Your experience sounds very scary.. My hubby has had double hernia surgery.
@@kt1696 Los Angeles! Here is another kicker: I got hair analysis for the second time, which revealed Antimony and Lead levels ALL THE WAY OFF THE CHART!!! Now I need to find out if those levels are from mesh that was left in me or asbestos from my work place! So disgusting to get so catastrophically injured and not able to find representation, but if you slander someone, they can get millions 🤔
If your husband can get the best scan that reveals lesions or erosion and hair analysis for toxic metal contamination,
that would be good.
I don't know if I mentioned before, but make it make sense to me, how suddenly in the world, everyone, with
or without patient's permission, need mesh, when the human body is the greatest miracle, next to the creation of the Heavens and Earth!!! There are a few people who don't have enough protein to make muscle strength, but I wasn't one of them, at the time they put the meshes in me. Best blessings and health to your family.
I wish HE was MY MD! Thanks for the great vids and information for us.
I worry about Doctors’ totally relying on blood tests and NICE’s figure ranges. I said in 2020 there was something going on with my thyroid. I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 30 years. The blood tests took 18 months to catch up with my ‘feeling’. Now bloods are showing TSH levels fluctuating from hypo to hyper and back again. Every time I have a blood test, I have a doctor whose job it is to telephone everyone with an abnormal blood test that day. They are only reading that one blood test and simply adjust the medication. I’ve had to put a halt to that and demand a f2f with MY GP, because clearly, it needs more investigation. Secondly, I’ve needed B12 injections every 12 weeks for 25 years. The OK range is different to Australia and the USA. You’re allowed a much lower count in this country. I’m now starting to get peripheral neuropathy, but doctors just say ‘your bloods are fine’. So basically, doctors now only treat our blood, regardless of what is going on at cellular level. Neither will I accept a response of ‘it’s your age’ when I have a medical issue’, I always ask ‘…and what would you diagnose if I wasn’t this age?’ Ageism is as unacceptable as racism, but it happens without recourse on a daily basis. As I age, I have less and less confidence in the NHS (the institution, not its’ workforce) and its’ ability to keep us safe.
I now have my blood work done at Medichecks so that I can get T3, T4, FT3 and FT4 tests which were something I couldn’t and still can’t get on the NHS. I take Natural Desiccated Thryoid medication and have done for about 6 years. I lost weight and felt better, but the damage had been done by incorrect medication dosing and I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2011. The doctors absolutely HATE that I’ve taken control of my symptoms and meds, but that’s their tough luck, not mine 😅
You might have a methylation problem. 50% of people do. Try taking methylated vitamins.
They need to meet metrics.
I really find your level of information really hits the mark, complex enough not to be oversimplfied, but easy enough to be understood
Thanks 🧡 Much Love!
I’ll never know the results of these three tests since I have no intention of visiting the psychopaths in the medical profession to get any tests done. I’ll likely live longer by avoiding those killers. 70 now, no meds, great health, with no intention of letting anyone give me health advice, test anything pertaining to me, or give me any form of medical intervention. I’ll die on my terms, thanks all the same.
Same here, and I'm a retired nurse.
What's the secret?
@geraldmorris Same here :-))
They're very good at gaslighting their patients into taking meds that cause more problems which then require more meds.
Same here
75 year old here. Na at 142 , Protein at 6.3 , Albumn at 4.2 My protein is low.
your protein level is in the normal range.

Very helpful. Thank you Dr.!!
My sodium levels have always been low in spite of how much salt I put on my food and good quality salt too. It usually is 134. It has been like that for more than a decade.
Same here! I use plenty of salt and it is still on the very low end.
Why even bother if over 65. I’m not going to start getting various blood tests. I’m staying away from doctors. We need to eat healthy foods, exercise, get lots of good water, socialization/stimulation for the brain, prayer and sunshine. Stay out of the medical mill. They will find something if you go looking.
Right!? They do love to ‘find something’ even if it’s a false whatever….early screening. Phhhhhttt
🙄clown world.
I only see a doctor if absolutely forced to. These days 10 minute session costing over $70 and 6 minutes I'd spent on them looking at your stuff on screen and so on. It's PATHETIC. Really they are legal drug pushers.
❤
Always said doctors, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are all in bed together.
You are on the right track. I am a family doctor who retired because of Covid and I avoid doctors at all cost. This will save your life.
thank you doctor.
Big thank you for the report I checked what you said against my numbers 👍
After catching kung flu back early in 2020 I was unable to work and had chronic fatigue for the next 3 years. I'm 61 now.
We went through a bad financial patch and I lost four back teeth. They simply fell out and my gums bled a lot. Eventually I saw a doctor who diagnosed sever Anemia and malnutrition and I was treated with some stuff in a drip. It made a huge difference but I had to find money for treatment as the medical aid refused to pay although we are fully paid up.
Relating "kung flu" to your Covid is a poor word choice. Please do not do that again.
I just love you u taught me alot I'm 68 ill go get blood test
The older I get (I'm over 70), the less value I see in living longer. Life becomes a burden when your health just deteriorates. My doc tests my blood every time I go and I'm telling him to FO next time about that.
68 here and I know what you mean. If you don't have your health...you're f*cked.
Very well said life is pretty much over at 70 years old
Well I'm over 70,avoid doctors and all tests, on no meds whatsoever and grateful to be healthy and enjoy life
sad comments here. 😢 I'm 78, eat mostly carnivore diet and still jog, hike, swim, ride a horse, and help hubby clearing our 6A and remodeling our 4bd home for resale. (Then maybe we will slow down a bit...maybe.) I want to see our little great grand son grow up!! My super-power is I had arthritis in my mid-20's and that started me into low carb eating and fitness. May God bless you all with a clear path to improved health and renwed sense of purpose. ❤️🙏❤️
@@joreesme too.
This is very good information. Iam 64 but have no doctor. During covid I lost respect and trust for the establishment. I will not contract with them when I turn 65. I will use alternative practitioners if I have a need. Well...if I found a real doctor of integrity I would see them like you Dr. Dhand. You are so smart! I know very little about that world you live in so thank you for teaching us.❤
My mother was prone to having a sodium deficiency and she would either have a seizure when she had the low sodium.She had adrenal gland removed it had a tumor that was being watched and her dr explained. that it had grown to a size that it shouldn’t have so usually the person would have to be cut in half to get to the problem and he was going through a class of removing this particular type of adrenal gland removal,mom was 75 years old and she told the dr God has given you the ability to do this surgery and I have faith in God so yes sir you finish your training and I will allow you to do the surgery. She did the surgery and lived another 10 years and she had only a few seizure episodes which was caused from her not taking a medication that was prescribed for her it was expensive but she would not take it and salt problem was back.She really did very well considering her age .thanks again for your help in explaining this rarely checked disorder.
Dear Dr Dhand, I don't suppose my GP here in Scotland has ever seen even one of those 3 blood tests for me and when I have asked for blood tests they have been refused. I looked up the cost of having private ones done and it seems virtually impossible from this location. If it was possible it would cost a lot. I appreciate your honesty and thoroughness but that is not the sort of care on offer under the Scottish NHS and I cannot pay privately. I can't even get a referral for an opinion on my orthopaedic needs but must wait until it is much more painful. An X-ray was ordered. Even I know a GP cannot tell from an X-ray the full story of a) a breaking down 11 year old prosthetic hip, or b) the breakdown of the other one. But thanks anyway.
Much like here in the US
Horrible care
Ins decides all
When I visit my family in France, I ask the local GP to prescribe a full blood test. He charged me 16 Euros for the visit and the lab charged me 40 Euros for the blood test, results of which are emailed to me within 48 hours.
That was very useful, Dr. Suneel.
As a retired faculty in Biochemistry and also in charge of clinical laboratory, I can appreciate the importance of these tests.
One more test, I would like to suggest is Serum Uric acid in Diabetic patients as it indicates the severity and complications in Gouty Arthritis.
I know im low on protien. I tested eith malnitrition a few months ago and have lost another 10 lbs since. I just moved and m7st fund a local Dr.
eat meat!!
@@judymiller5154eat lot's of meat and eggs...less carbohydrate.
I took a screen shot of the 3 blood tests for future reference. I'm a healthy 68 y.o. and hubby is a healthy 71 y.o., but I know I have to be informed before anything bad happens.
If I ever need to go and see a doctor I will ask for these test. Thank you Dear Doctor Dhand
My mother had ESRD, Cirrhosis of the liver(non-alcoholic), atherosclerosis, CHF, gastroparesis, a GTube and type 2 diabetes. 3 weeks before passing away, she lost her eyesight. She passed away recently, after her blood clotting mechanism failed. My mother’s blood tests had all of these markers. I see certain aspects of the healthcare industry as causing and/or exacerbating the deterioration of her conditions. Very upsetting……
I appreciate your to the point explanations.
Dr Suneel,thank you very much for always sharing important information,your very caring and compassionate God Bless You and your family as well.
WHY CANT ALL IN THE MEDICAL FRATERNITY BE HONEST LIKE YOU DR. THANK YOU FOR EVERY PIECE OF LIFE SAVING INFORMATION YOU SO FREELY SHARE WITH US. YOUR COMPASSION FOR THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS IS OVERWHELMING.
GOD BLESS YOU.
It’s totally unbelievable how many older people are tricked by these test my parents says to hell with them I’m beginning to understand why now thank you on my terms when the time comes!!! Thank doctor!🙏
Never had these tested. They are very keen to test cholesterol level though. No doubt to push statins.
Thank you, was surprised to find this true,
My muscle enzyme tests have been bad for 20+ years due to lupus. I had no idea my muscle wasting was due to not enough protein
Finally, a video about medicine. Very good info. Please do another on hypo/hyper kalemia (low/high potassium).
Ive learned through the years that all medications if you take long term deplete other important nutrients in the body. For instance i used to take a steroid inhaler that depletes potassium in the body....(youre never told this by drs ) and this leads on to more meds Someone very close to me is on an antidepressant that depletes sodium. I find this appalling. My advice is look up any meds youre on and see what they deplete in the body.
How many people took a screenshot of the 3 tests at the end?
I get those tests and many more once a month.
I have low sodium but they just say eat more salt. I have COPD and heart failure. No one told me of the connection.
My dad has heart failure which affects his kidneys. He is on lots of diuretics which flush out too much salt and on restircted water intake. Heart nurse yesterday said eat a packet of salty crisps a day.
Most excellent information! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated! 🧡
Thanks for the info no doctor give and explained like you Dr. Suneel Dhand.
Mine is: sodium 140
Albumin 5
CRP Normal reference: 0-10
PSA 0.5
My CRP has been from 45 to 75 for the last 5 yrs. I've had every test available, and they can't find what is causing my inflammation. I gave up when they wanted to give me medicine for rheumatoid arthritis which I did not have, just because. I feel like crap all of the time, but I will not take medicine for something that I don't have.
You’re doing a great service…. Thank you
Great information for ordinary people. Thank you Dr.
He’s the best Dr. in the world!! ❤
My doc still uses 0-18 yearold comparisons for my testing. Told her i hadnt been 18 for 50 years...
😅
Thankyou for your nice advice to stay safe after 65yrs
I'm 54 and my blood protein was low. I better start eating more protein.
Make sure that you have sufficient stomach acid and bile to digest it.
Try a semi carnivore diet for a few months. If you don't mind eggs, bacon, chicken, turkey or ground beef, I found it was much less epensive than my "regular" diet because I only bought a few foods. Good luck.
@@doejohn8674 Is there a way to know if it's low?
@@TK.000 Don't worry about it. Eating more meat (and fat) prompts the liver to make enough bile anyway.
@@TK.000 If your blood type is A, you are low in stomach acid. If so, eat more vegetable protein.
Brilliant Doctor ! Thank you so very much !
So helpful. Thank you, Dr Dhand. 🙏
Thank you Dr Dhand. We punters out here don't know what we don't know. You help. A LOT.

Best information on the human health front!!
But our health professionals, agencies, and governments don't seem to be promoting it, or are they? ❤.
I'm 77. I'm aware of the need for Sodium and Protein...so I make sure I have Redmond's Salt or Celtic Sea Salt - balanced by Potassium and Magnesium. I eat some animal Protein every day. My Health is quite good. I never see doctors. At 77 - I'm gonna die, tomorrow or 30 years from now. Not having Tests!
Interesting… for those younger the risk of various diseases when caught early like breast and colon cancer can save lives. But going into late 70’s and older perhaps the risk is less because for whatever reason screening is less productive.
Ideally bond with an MD you can trust who will know you as a person for you may benefit when need for end of life care comes knocking at the door.
Thank you Dr. Suneel...you are my go-to Dr. now for all my health information.....I look forward to watching many more to come

Dr. Dhand, question: Do you believe yearly Pap smears are necessary for women? What about mammograms? I just don’t know if scraping the cervix every year is the right thing to do. It seems that would aggravate the cervix and is not good for it. Same with smashing breast tissue.
Thank you for asking this questions ! This 2 tests worries me also . I actually refused Pap smear this year,as well as the mammogram !

You’re talking to people that are 65 or older,most of us never learned the metric system.
