3376: Calcium Supplements, Air Filters, Memory Loss, Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Scheuermann's Disease (HouseCall)
The Cabral Concept
Intro
This chapter focuses on the crucial role of calcium intake, especially for individuals on dairy-restricted diets. It provides practical advice on enhancing calcium through food and addresses the balance between dietary sources and supplementation.
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…
Rocco: Hi Stephen, I’ve done the CBO protocol and now follow that diet long-term. I recently tracked my intake in Cronometer, and due to the lack of dairy, I’m only getting around 400mg of calcium from food, plus 100mg from the DNS—well below the 1,000mg daily requirement. To bridge the gap, I plan to supplement with Cal Mag but noticed the recommended dose is only 2 capsules (200mg). Would it be safe to take 4 capsules daily to meet my calcium needs? I’m also fine with the extra magnesium, as I deal with a fair amount of stress. I did see nut milks that are fortified with calcium; however I believe supplementing would be just as effective (as my current nut milk choice is not fortified with calcium). Thanks and love your work!!! Al: Dr. Cabral, can you explain whether air filters with ionizers and plasma wave are good choices. Some sources say that they create unnatural and thus air, some says that it’s the best. Please share your opinion, thank you. Lala: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m writing in for my brother-in-law. He is in his late 30s and has memory issues. When he was I think 19 he spent a day using paint used for semi trucks which he told me is super intense toxic industrial (I believe aerosol style). There was not good ventilation and it wasn’t until he took his mask off that he realized it wasn’t sealed appropriately. He said it was that incident when his memory changed for good. Because his brain was still developing he believes there’s nothing that can be done. I feel like there’s got to be something to at least help. My guess is things that help oxidative stress among probably other things? Would love to get your insights. Thank you so much for all that you do and give. Bettina: Thanks for all you do and for giving this possibility to get your take on things. A friend of my family, age 70+, has just been diagnosed with PLS. What would you recommend if this was someone in your family? Thank you for your time. Becky: Hello Dr. Cabral. What would you recommend for someone with untreated Scheuermann's disease? My husband, age 47, has this and so does my 14-year-old son. Is runs in my husbands family as my husbands mother has it as well.
