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…

Joanna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope this message finds you well and you're enjoying a beautiful summer! I've got two totally unrelated questions that I would love to get your take on: 1. Could you quickly explain what Sjorgren's syndrome is in your words, what could be causing it or what tests would help to find that out and what you would recommend if someone in your family suffered from that? 2. Could you see the drug industry investing more research into things like myostatin-inhibitors again to counteract the risks of muscle loss for people using GLP-1 agonists? Thanks for everything you do! Johann Michael: Hey Steven, I haven’t messaged in a long time I still have primary Addisons disease and take the regular hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone daily. I’m just after having an emergency shot of hydrocortisone because I have a gastro bug and I want to recover quickly. Have you any tips on this please? Just so tired of being scared to get sick with this illness. Lisa: Does meat cause cancer specially like prostate cancer or any other cancer? Can you use diet to stop it without treatment? WIll a whole food plant base diet help it? Is it possible to get colon cancer within 2 years of having colonoscopy? Will a ct scan show it or pet scan? Mindy: Hi! I enjoy listening to your podcast each day and really trust your advice. I was wondering if you've heard of or looked into the Jaspr air filter? It's more expensive than the air doctor and I'm wondering if it is really effective and worth the price. Thanks for all you do! Pip: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m 35 and have been diagnosed with idiopathic cervical dystonia tremor. I’ve had it on and off for about ten years however this year it has got considerably worse and affects me daily in activities. The neurologist has referred me to another neurologist specialising in dystonia who will inject Botox into my neck muscle to relax it and stop the tremor. This is a three monthly treatment for the rest of my life. Apparently there is no cure but I’d like to think there is SOMETHING natural / alternative I can do to stop or reduce the tremor. I’d love to hear your suggestions? Thank you. Pip
