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: Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral, love your work! Two questions for you. I have been experience chronic pain and other symptoms in my vaginal/bladder area. I have taken lots of rounds of antibiotics with no relief. First question, from research there are a couple doctors treating what they call embedded infections, where the bacteria is not detectable on a culture because it has embedded itself in the bladder wall-they treat this with years of antibiotics. What are your thoughts on that? Second question, I do always culture strep b in my bladder-despite taking several rounds that "should" have treated it. I'm sure it's colonized in my bladder and not just a contaminated catch-because it always cultures it and by this point I've perfected the clean mid stream catch. I have ordered the stool sample test and waiting on that now. What I'm wondering is will be CBO protocol address the strep b in my bladder and vaginal area, and will it help with yeast or bacteria overgrowth in my vagina. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Eric: Hello Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding my mother in law. She had the sleeve weight loss procedure, now years later from complications she is having her entire stomach cut out leaving her with around 5%. Her gut health is HORRIFIC, my question is can she do a CBO or parasite protocol with 5% of a stomach? She will have an extremely restricted diet in quantity, obviously, but also in what she can eat. Thanks so much for all you do! Morgan: Hey Dr Cabral, I am having a Re occurring issue when sleeping where I fall asleep and wake up 1-2 hours later automatically with intense acid reflux and can't get through the feeling and back to sleep. What do you recommend on getting through this or eliminating certain foods or adding certain ones. Thank you! Morgan Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your incredible work, I felt so alone on my health journey before I found your story. I was wondering if you've ever worked with someone with linear morphoea - I have morphoea en coup de sabre diagnosed by a dermatologist when I was around 14. He gave me topical steroids and it lightened up the area and seemed to make it more narrow, and it's been years since I've used the cream. I was wondering if you've ever seen it completely reversed? I've been working to heal my gut the last 2 years, I've done the CBO and Parasite Protocols, I was just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into? I was a C section baby and was prescribed antibiotics for many years for sinus infections every winter (fellow east coaster). I also took ibuprofen every day of second grade for headaches. I believe my triggering events in 2016 were an infection and the terminal diagnosis of my mother with liver cirrhosis. It was a painful and very stressful 5 more years before she passed away. I have been working very hard to heal and appreciate any advice you have! Jenna: Have you read the book called Glucose Revolution yet? It's pretty new and the author Jesse Inchauspe has been interviewed on dozens of health podcasts. I'm reading the book now and find it fascinating and was wondering if you would consider doing a book review on it. Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was checking the ingredients of your liquid melatonin and am confused.. If I saw these ingredients in a supplement here in a pharmacy I would choose not to take it.. It contains xantham gum which you said is not good? I'm not sure about potassium sorbate..? I usually stay away from products with citric acid..? And is this a natural organic stevia extract?

What do you want out of this life? Many people go through life without fully understanding what they actually want and what makes them happy… Some play the blame game and focus on all the reasons why their life isn't what they want it to be. But the truth is, in order to get what you want, you have to create it. You have to take personal responsibility and do the work in order to get to where you want to be.

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… Ben: Hi Doc! I get "athlete's foot" on my left pinky toe from time to time. It's always in the same place on the same foot only. Only recently did I start to think that it may actually be some form of candida. Can you get candida on your toes? What is the fastest way to make it go away? Thanks for all you do. I'm inspired by your work ethic. Ben Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I have a friend with "chronic" spastic colitis and I've been trying to look it up and learn about it (even asked Michelle to help me find podcasts about it but with no luck) but haven't found anything about it on the podcast.. How does it differ from ulcerative colitis? Is it similar to Chron's? I know these are just names for a bunch of symptoms, but I would really like to learn about it from a source I trust (YOU!) and have all the information if my friend ever gets on board not to trust doctors who have been telling him his whole life that it's chronic and putting him on drugs like Buscopan, etc., and he decides to listen and do something about it.. So, please, could you do a show about it or talk about it when you answer this? What are the causes and what to do about it? Possibly without having to test (because I'm sure he won't want to).. Thank you so much, you're the best! Drake: Hi dr Cabral. I've had ongoing stomach problems for years that have come back and gone away. I've done the cbo protocol twice, as well as tried every diet you can think of. Things tend to get better for a while, and then come back. Currently what I am experiencing is a lot of gas, discomfort, and loose stools, and it seems to happen no matter what I eat. The worst and most difficult thing is actually my sleep. When my stomach problems and gas come back, it really disrupts my sleep, leading me to wake up 3-6 times per night to pee. I wake up with a really strong need to pee, but then pee very little. I am a 25 year old male, and have had this nocturnia type issue intermittently since 16. It seems to be related to my stomach issues, do you think that could be the case, and if I had 1000$ to spend on labs, which ones should I run? Kathy: I have been dealing with Telogen phase hair loss for over 2 yrs. Can you suggest anything? I have tried multiple topical treatments, supplements, diet, relaxation techniques etc.i very much believe it is stress related as well as diet. My scalp itches, using nizoral shampoos etc to no avail! I did listen to your podcast and working on getting 60 grams of protein/day Thank you in advance! Kathy Luke: Hi Dr Cabral, You are truly amazing. Your guidance and knowledge in this world is so undervalued, so thank you for being you. I have been through quite a lot, from going to the gym 6 days a week, eating relatively balanced, happy and healthy individual to one day January 2nd 2021, massive panic attack I thought i was going to die. Went to the ER they said panic attack. 2 weeks later, Fibromyalgia symptoms, then Chronic Fatigue, then burning sensations all over my body, then balance issues, then brain fog got so bad I didn't even recognize who I was. I ended up with 30 plus chronic symptoms. This all lasted for months, bedridden at times. I found functional medicine, had high copper, blastocystis hominis parasite, overgrowth of streptococcus, and a high HVA / VMA Ratio in my OAT test. I have healed 20 of the 30 symptoms I was experiencing but some still remain. I am a strong believer that EBV was the main cause for all of this but the only tests in Australia that the doctors can do just says whether or not it's active. No markers etc. What are your thoughts on this? My reamaining symptoms are (new symptom) very warm sensation, feels like someone poured warm milk down the left side of my leg, calf mainly but also my arm and sometimes my head.

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: Barbara: What is the best product to purchase to start getting healthy overall? Nan: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! I have been using elimination diets to figure out what was causing my digestive and hormonal issues. I realized that i am very sensitive to lectins and salicylates. I do not want to stay on an elimination diet for too long to the detriment of my nutrition but have been unable to find good multivitamin and minerals and the Equilife ones do not ship to my country. I am therefore trying to diversify my diet however i can. I can now eat lectins foods that have been soaked and pressure cooked. I can also have a few histamine foods when i intermittent fast. However, i have been unable to reintroduce salicylates. I have been doing epsom salt baths and once in a while i can have a medium salicylate food but only like once a week. I have tested and I do not have any underlying digestive issues like SIBO or bacterial imbalance. What can i do to be able to reintroduce salicylates? Your episode on salicylates was incredibly insightful but i am unsure what to do after the low salicylate diet. How long do i have to stay on it? Ps: my mother has always had salicylate issues so maybe there is a genetic component behind my issue processing/detoxing salicylates? Looking forward to your input! Thank you so much! Danny: Hi Dr. Carbral! I'm a 4th yr medical student and aspiring functional medicine doctor, I have learned so much from your podcast and love tuning in everyday! In short: I have 4 homozygous polymorphisms of COMT, for which (if I'm not mistaken) I should supplement hydroxy B12 and avoid methyl B12 & methyl folate. I also have a heterozygous polymorphism of MTHFR (C677T) for which I should take methyl B12 & methyl folate. It seems like what is therapeutic for one problem is toxic for the other and vice versa. Hence my question, what should I do? Will supplementing with both hydroxy and methyl B12 'counteract' each other like 2 horses running in opposite directions? I also recently did your organic acids test and had a follow up call with Caitlin, which was really helpful! On my OAT, my quinolinic/serotonin ratio was high (9.0), and we concluded that this was due to low serotonin (.08) as my quinolinic level was .72. I know MTHFR is involved in the synthesis of serotonin (via tryptophan), could the lower serotonin level be due to this MTHFR mutation? I know this is pretty detailed stuff but I'm hope there are other ppl out there with both COMT and MTHFR polymorphisms who have had similar questions. Really appreciate you taking time to do these house calls and for the awesome podcast! Best, Danny Lorena: Working with a male client that is a Pitta and is 32. Saliva test showed normal DHEA, progesterone & testosterone as well as adrenal phase 3. However, his estrogen was significantly high. It's not from adipose tissue because he's quite fit. Pretty much plant-based (all organic) with the occasional grass-fed beef, no exposure to xenoestrogens as all cleaning products as well as personal products are 100% natural. Eats a lot of cruciferous veg everyday (this should have helped with estrogen detoxification). He does eat organic tofu twice a week so I wonder whether it would be that? I read somewhere that dietary intake wouldn't raise estrogen levels so much… I'm just so confused right now. He is prone to hair loss so not sure whether there's a conversion issue from testosterone to estrogen. Vic: Hi Dr Cabral, First of all, love your work. I have had reoccurring UTIs for about 1.5 years. I have completed the CBO protocol, finisher and 2 x 7 day detoxes starting about a year ago which has helped with a lot of issues that I had found relief from no where else, so a big thank you for that. However I still have had to do your UTI protocol nearly constantly. I have relief when on the protocol but symptoms a few days after stopping. I was wondering if there were any long term detrimental effects of doing this protocol constantly or having this issue for so long? I have tried all the basic lifestyle tips and listened to your previous UTI podcasts but can't seem to find a story quite like mine. I don't take antibiotics anymore and have had countless confirmed culture tests that show an infection. Unfortunately I'm on a tight budget at the moment so most testing and treatment I cannot afford at this time, so any general advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
