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…   Anonymous: I had fatigue, body pain and gallstones. Taking malic acid for gallstones but pain and fatigue went away. What does it mean when malic acid eliminates body aches? Does Malic acid address root cause issues? Is malic acid safe to take while I run my big 5 labs.              Nakul: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm a big fan of your podcast and your approach to chronic health challenges. You're helping a lot of people heal - please keep up the great work. I was diagnosed with CIRS last year, which is an inflammatory response caused by a genetic predisposition to be unable to remove inhaled biotoxins (like mold and endotoxins) with the adaptive immune response. I've been dealing with reduction in vision (from what I suspect is brain inflammation caused by toxicity), and alopecia areata, in addition to food sensitivities and allergies. I've been using cholestyramine and other binders which have helped, but would love to know your thoughts and recommendations on how biotoxin illness can be treated through naturopathy. Thanks for your help!                                                                                                                                                              Jen: Thank you for taking my question, Dr. Cabral! I listen and learn from you every day. My question is about behavioral change at the root cause ~ This one thing in my life I desperately want to WANT to do it because it is good. And by not doing it, I am acting in a way that is incongruent with my career/mission. And that causes me much mental anguish. I know that when I am able to solve this conundrum, I will be true to myself and can help others do the same. What would be your protocol for changing behavior, not just an outward compliance, but at the very root cause/subconscious level? How thankful I am for you! I am looking forward to incorporating what I learn from you on this subject. Thank you!!                 Amy: Hi there. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and insight into all things health! I have a question about microplastics in tea bags. Common knowledge is that steeping tea bags is a huge source of microplastics. I'm wondering how concerned you feel we should be about this, as I'm driving myself crazy. Some companies use unbleached tea bags that are glue free,heat sealed, and claim to be plastic free. Would those really be safer? Looking forward to any insight on how much concern a casual tea drinker should have.                                                                                                                  Grace: Hello looking for some advice regarding gum and tongue health. I am female, 26 years old. I get painful inflamation of my gums, inflammed taste buds, canker sores, and scalloped tongue. Typically these symptoms show up around my menstrual cycle and clear up in my follicular phase. I try to oil pull to help with the inflamation, ive cycled L-lysine and I have not seen any big changes in my symptoms. Also, I have a unrelated question regarding flushing of the face. I have issues of face flushing that is extreme and uncontrolable. It is not just when I may be embarassed it happens even when I talk about something passionately or am excited. I dont know why this happens and how I can control it.     Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3432 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Yvonne: Have just been advised, based upon blood work, that I have reduced pancreatic function (52.2%). My diet contains no sugar (I use stevia or monk fruit or natural sugars in fruits such as dates) and don’t eat any highly processed foods, no gluten… so basically a clean diet. I also exercise, am not overweight. Was told I am pre-diabetic with an A1C of 6. Had a sample of a 4continuous glucose monitor - lowest rate was 5 and highest one time 2 hrs after eating was 10. I intermittent fast usually from about 2 - 3 p.m. until around 7 a.m. Is there anything else I can do to ensure pancreatic function doesn’t continue to decline as I don’t want to be on a pharmaceutical. Thanks.                                                            Lynn: I only recently heard about liposomal vitamins for the first time. Now I seem to be hearing about them everywhere, including on last week's House Call where you recommended Liposomal Glutathione to help with exposure to harsh toxins. Are liposomal vitamins better than "regular" vitamins. Or are there certain vitamins that are better if taken in liposomal form? Thanks!                                                                         Jenna: I had 6 meniscus, 1 PCL & 2 ACL surgeries. Thank you collegiate soccer. I noticed in my mid 20’s after half of the surgeries, I would get a deep tingling and itch in my thighs while taking walks. I could prevent it from getting out of control if I had very tight compression workout pants on. But if I wore shorts, game over… I would scratch my thighs til it broke blood vessels. I don’t know if it’s a neurological or lymph/blood issue but no one seems to understand what I’m talking about. I would love to find an answer. I listened to the podcast about tingling skin but I’m not sure where to start.                    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do! Was just wondering how often and how much Moringa powder is safe to use? Would it be okay to add to a smoothie daily along with the greens powder and DNS? I have a Moringa tree and like to make my own powder. Also what are your thoughts on creatine for after or before a workout? Thank you             Laura: Hi dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for sharing all your experience and knowledge with the community! I have dealt with got issues probably my whole life and I’ve been told I probably have sibo and Candida. So I am currently doing the CBO protocol. At the end of my protocol, my family has a trip planned to go to Tokyo Japan. Do you have any tips for me of what I can do to not ruin all my progress? And keep my gut bacteria healthy? Should I start the CBO finisher while I am there? I also am interested in doing the parasite cleanse. Can I do the para cleanse while I’m doing the CBO finisher after I get home? Any travel suggestions would be great! Thank you so much!                                                                                                                       TAKEAWAYS     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!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3431 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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…   BM: Hi Dr. Cabral! Would you have any health recommendations (how to help our bodies and especially respiratory system and lungs) for those people (children of 6 years old and adults) who live in areas with constant outdoor air pollution from PM10, PM2.5, Ozone (gases from vehicles, volatile organic compounds)? Specifically, when US AQI ranges from Moderate (51) to Unhealthy (139) and Very Unhealthy (263). We already have indoor air filters with HEPA, keep doors/windows shut, limit being outdoors especially when US AQI is too high.                                                                         Sheena: Hi Dr . C! Thx for taking me question. I'm taking Equilife's Balanced Zinc but live in Canada and currently looking for a comparable one that I can find here. The only one that I found has similar ingredients with zinc traacs biglycinate chelate and copper traacs biglycinate is a thyroid supplement but its also has iodine, ashwaghanda, selenium, l-tyrosine, manganese traacs chelate and bacopa extract (not sure what that is). what are your thoughts on this supplement? anything I should avoid? thanks in advance for answering this and for all that you do!                                                                  Sasha: CBO protocol seems great for any yeast/fungal or bacterial overgrowth. I’m curious how effective it is for people diagnosed with methane SIBO/IMO with archaea and constipated. I have read that allicin is the most effective herb to kill archaea but CBO protocol only has berberine and oregano oil. Wondering if people suffering from methane SIBO should have an additional herbal antimicrobial like allicin added while following the rest of the CBO protocol. Thanks!                                 Anonymous: Hi, I’m wondering about usage of microwaves, I’ve heard you talk about it on HouseCalls and I understood that microwaving destroys nutrients in food, changes the molecules etc., but asking ChatGPT (and having a long conversation about it), it kept giving me research on how microwaving is actually better than other cooking methods because it supposedly preserves more nutrients, doesn’t change the molecular structure of food etc. This made me very confused on the subject.. would you mind explaining what you think based on all this research? Was it paid by manufacturers? If you could dive deep into it and make it into a full episode, that would be great.. Thanks so much for all your work and help!                                                                                                                                                                       Andy: Appreciate you answering questions!
