Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU! Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean? Anonymous: Hi Dr. C I did the SMMT in June, cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot., I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while. Off HRT, numbers were very high, doing estrogen sup and prog. supp. dhea low ad u an supplementing with that. T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now. my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it. I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in. Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly. I also do the vision support i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s to looking sagging and old in my early 60s. i feel so much better than i did but what's happening? . I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked. The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol Mercury and Aluminum elevated .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol. i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern. Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well. it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address. Thank you for all your guidance and support. Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review? Thanks.
