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…

Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! Hope you & your family are doing well.. I’ve heard from a trusted source that people who never get sick actually have a bad immune system response.. that it means their immune system doesn’t recognise a threat (virus for example) & that’s why they never get sick.. but that doesn’t make sense to me, wouldn’t that just mean that the viruses would then just stay in your body if your immune system wouldn’t try to fight them? And they would wreak havoc on it? I don’t know if my way of thinking is correct but would love to hear your input on this.. thanks for all you do, you’re absolutely amazing! Anonymous: Hello, I am wondering in methylene blue. I found one of your podcasts where you mention it in a positive manner but now I am hearing about it being derived from petroleum?! So is it a synthetic petroleum-derived chemical? Or is it a great bio hacking tool? I don’t believe it can be both, but I know too little about it. Would love a whole show on it from your perspective, if possible, because it’s supposed to have so many benefits, but how if it’s made this way? Thanks Sarah: Hello!! Curious about the white lines on my nails. I've had them on and off throughout my life. I heard it could be about nutrient deficiencies. I've done the HTMA and completed a protocol to balance my minerals, I eat a clean whole food diet, I take HCL with my meals to help digestion. I also get a lot of random bruises on my legs, unsure if this is related. I've done the 7 day detox, CBO and heavy metals protocol, I take the DNS also zinc and omegas, aswell as l glutamine, creatine, collagen, vit D and some adaptogens. I dry brush, gua sha, rebound, sauna, exercise, lots of walking etc. Anything to be concerned about with the white lines on nails/bruising on the legs? Thanks so much for all you do Linda: Hey Dr Cabrel,I am writing about my granddaughter. She is almost 6 months old, breech cesarean birth baby, fully breast feed. My daughter is very health conscience, gluten free dairy free for years for her own health, lives as toxic free as possible. My question is the baby started to have some blood in her stool around 2 months which the Dr said is a reaction to what my daughter eats. She has limited so many things and eats the same thing every day. They think eggs/chicken are a big trigger as well as oats. Where do we go to find help. The Drs really dont have much to say for guidance and she is getting to an age to start with solids. Thanks! Slava: Hello, To Stephan Cabral: Have you ever dealt with a patient that was going through TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) symptoms? Currently on day 16 for the CBO protocol, have done the big 5 lab tests in 2023. Used corticosteroids since 2020. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
