The Cabral Concept 1359: Food Allergies vs Intolerances, Labial Adhesion, Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion, Celiac Reversible, Caffeine Heart Palpitations, Creatine Loading (HouseCall)
Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
Check out today's questions:
James: Hello Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding food intolerances. Can you explain how we get these, are we both born with these and also develop them later in life or are we only born with food ALLERGIES, and intolerances are all later developed? Also can we cure all intolerances or is it possible we may have some intolerances for life? Please explain in as much detail as possible if the science is out there. :) Thanks so much for your continued support - James
Michelle: My 2 year old daughter (turning 3 in late Nov) has a labial adhesion. This was found after we brought her in for "stomach" pain, which x-rays showed was severe constipation (even though she had been having BMs). The pediatrician's recommendation for resolving the adhesion was prescription estrogen cream to be applied to the adhesion twice daily (Premarin for 7-10 days). Since the x-ray confirmed the pain was caused by constipation, and not a bladder issue, I am NOT comfortable applying estrogen cream to my toddler, especially since hers is only connecting the middle third of her labia! Do you know of labial adhesions fixing themselves over time? Would you feel comfortable applying an estrogen cream to one of your young daughters? Thank you, and in particular, for your dedication to helping normal folks like me understand more naturopathic ways of approaching "medicine" via your podcast!!
Carole: Hi Dr. Cabral -- I'm a big fan of yours and have been a dedicated listener of your podcast for a while. I look forward to waking up and listening to your words of wisdom daily. Thank you so much for for the information you provide. I was hoping to see if you have any natural suggestions/recommendations to help a person diagnosed with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO). Thank you! I really appreciate everything you teach! I wish there were more people in the world like you. :)
Kelly: My 5yo was diagnosed celiac at 4. I realize this is not supposed to be a reversible disease. I do know that it is an autoimmune condition and since other autoimmune are potentially reversible why is this different?
Jess: Hi Dr. Cabral! For the past 5 years or so I have had an intolerance to caffeine. I started drinking coffee in high school and continued until I was about 23/24. Out of the blue I began to have heart palpitations and trouble breathing. It almost felt like a panic attack that would last days after drinking a single cup of coffee. It got so bad that I ended up going to the ER where they determined I have an arrhythmia that worsens when I drink caffeine. Now at age 28 I avoid it at all costs in order to not have the symptoms. The cardiologist I went to did not have any answers as to why this started happening so suddenly and basically told me to stop drinking coffee. Is there a way to find out why this happened? I would love to have the occasional cup of coffee again! I am also currently doing the CBO protocol for SIBO and H.pylori. Thanks for all that you do!
Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. During the phase of training where I would do a creatine overload is it okay to add creatine to regular water, Himalayan sea salt & lime drink first thing in the morning? Or is it okay to add anything else to that drink eg collagen, glutamine, citrulline etc? Or should it be just those 3 ingredients (lime, salt, water) with option of daily vegetable powder? Keep up great work
