Check out today's questions:
Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, love what you've done for the health industry - so much so that I recently graduated as an IHP L2 and will be attending RHS this Fall! I'm writing as I've been experiencing itchy, stinging hives on my face (typically around the chin, mouth and lower cheek area) for 6 months; once the inflammation on the hives settle down I'm left with what appears to be a whitehead. If popped, the skin becomes extremely dry and peels off within 24hrs. I experienced this once in 2018 after a TBI, but worked with a ND (since retired) that resolved my symptoms w/ gut work. I intend to complete the big 5 to asses what's happening, likely followed by a DCD and CBO protocol but would love your thoughts to ensure I'm on the right track and if you have seen these symptoms before. THANK YOU! Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Earlier this year, I had a food sensitivity test done. My bloodwork came in showing above average to tomatoes. The results were 4.7 mcg/ml and anything great than 2 suggests a sensitivity or intolerance. I've been drinking your greens powder every morning and then realized it does have tomatoes but I'm guessing it is a very small amount. Do you think I'm okay to continuing drinking the green powder? I'm working on reducing inflammation in my body. I'm going to retest later this year with your kit. Your test is much more extensive. Thank you! Tricia: Hi again, Recent bloodwork showed my Omega 3: EPA at 2.8% by wt is above average. They consider anything above a 2.3 too high. Have you ever seen this before? Not sure why my balance of Omega 3 fatty acids are shifting towards EPA. I was taking your fish oil but have stopped temporarily. All other numbers for Omegas are in range. My total Omega 3 is in range at 7.5. Omega 6-total in range at 39.4. AA/EPA Ratio in range at 4. Homocysteine is 7.7 mcg/dl in range. Omega 6/3 ratio is 5.2. Can I get your opinion please? I know you can't diagnose or treat. I just want your opinion of what it could be and what I should do. Should I continue to take fish oil? I do eat Wild Salmon about 3 times a week. My HS-CRP is 4.1. Thanks for any guidance. Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - Weighted vests seem to be the latest fitness craze. What is your opinion of them? Thank you! Belinda: Please I have ovarian cyst and PID for over four years and I have been taking antibiotics and it's not helping, what should I do Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - -
