Dubrow added that, in his opinion, it's most important to get a doctor to give her a clear diagnosis so that she can treat the root problem.

He said he was 'concerned' that Glanville could be suffering from either an 'infectious process' or a 'foreign-body reaction to something she's had injected.'

Dubrow also clarified that Glanville isn't at 'fault' for not being certain about what is plaguing her, and he instead blamed her doctor for not having a solid diagnosis and treatment plan.

However, he seemed fairly certain that whatever was going on with her is 'not a parasite' and is 'not from something she ate.'
