2010: Low T, Healthy Conception, Secretory IgA, Multi-Vitamin Differences, Die-Off Issues (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: Ruth: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter introduced me to your podcasts and I am so glad she did. I listened to podcast 1173 on "why you need to boost your low T naturally". I have been getting the pelleted HRT for a few years now and the day I listened to this podcast I had just gotten pelleted again. I think it will be my last one after listening to your podcast. Because I have had a total hysterectomy two years ago, I thought the pelleting would give my body what it no longer can do by itself. I also had very low libido and drive at the time I started them. I am an obese, 67-year-old female and have gained about 20 pounds since the hysterectomy. Would you recommend I stay off the HRT pelleting and try the supplements you mentioned in your podcast? Vitamin D Magnesium full spectrum Zinc picolinate I already have high cholesterol and you mentioned that HRT could lead to even raise it more!? I am currently on phase III of the cell core detox program. I do have chronic stress because I am in pain from a scope of my right knee a few years ago where the surgeon cut away some cartilage and said I need a total knee replacement because of arthritis. I am hoping to correct my nutrition and give my knee the right environment to heal itself. Is this possible? The following is in my HRT pellet: t-pellet 100 mg x 2 estradiol 12.5 mg I also take NP thyroid 90 mg 1am and ½ noon FreeTe 1 capsule daily after 1 ½ months after pellet insertion (I understand this is to draw out the extra testosterone and make it last longer) Iodine 12.5 mg 1 daily DIM one daily ADK 1 daily Thank you for any insight you can give me! Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Sorry for the controversial question but I need some guidance. My wife and I have just found out that she is pregnant after a very long journey in trying to conceive. During this time we have done lots of research and decided not to vaccinate or have any unnecessary medical intervention during the pregnancy and beyond. My wife and I would like to know what else we should consider doing to make sure that our baby has the best start to life. We both take the level 3 daily protocol, have done all major protocols from equilibrium nutrition in preparation to having our baby, we follow your recommended diet, we exercise and have removed all toxins from the home among other things. I believe that this is enough for us to give our baby the best start to life but is there anything else that we should consider? We know that we are up for some push back from friends and family for our decisions but we just want to make sure that we are doing what is best for our baby. Thanks in advance for your guidance with this. Sally: Hi doctor Cabral, I was wondering if you could explain what Secretory IgA is. After suffering with digestive issues (bloating, gas, etc) for a few years, I did a stool test, and my Secretory IgA came back very low. My doctor tried to explain what it is and what I can do, but I did not really understand it. I've been listening to your podcast for years, therefore I know that you have the amazing ability to explain difficult medical terms and make them more digestible (pun intended!), so I would be very grateful if you could tell me more about it. In particular, what lowers Secretory IgA and what I can do to fix it? Thank you very much! Sally David: There are multivitamins that have an AM and PM formula, or are taken separately. One reason is to control certain vitamin and mineral ratios. This is based on science that says that there are different nutrients that compete against or inhibit the absorption of other nutrients. Examples I found online were: Iron can have a negative effect on zinc absorption; Folate can mask the symptoms of B12 deficiency; Vitamin A interferes with absorption of vitamin K; and aim to take calcium and magnesium supplements at least 2 hours apart. Is this something that should be considered when evaluating a multivitamin? Does the dosage and formulation of DNS control for nutrients that compete or inhibit absorption of other nutrients? Thanks so much. Michael: Why would someone get sicker and develop new symptoms by killing pathogens? I have mold toxicity (Chaetomium), some candida and high h. pylori.

2004: Everyday Toxins, Yellow Palms, Bacteria in Saliva, Fluid Intake, Silent Reflux, Cow's Milk Dilemma (HouseCall)

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… Let's get started! MacKenzie: I don't have a lot of money but am trying to eliminate toxins from my life. Other than food and skincare/ makeup what are the most important things? It gets hard to afford EMF blockers, organic sheets, mattress, etc. it starts to add up. Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral. I wanted to ask about yellow palms. I have had very yellow tinged hands for many years and have researched many different potential causes such as Carotenaemia or Jaundice. I do consume a lot of orange vegetables in my diet but am unsure if this is really the answer. I just wanted to get your perspective on what could cause the yellowness and if there is something more serious going on to look out for? Thank you very much Kenzie: Do I need to worry about reinfecting myself with h pylori by kissing my boyfriend during treatment ? Rita: Hi, During the Detox, can I increase fluid intake, as per my weight? or just stick to the 20oz as you suggest? Can a diabetic do this? Thanks Meghan: Hey Dr C! Thanks for everything you do! I am Currently pregnant with my second baby and My first suffered from quite a bit of silent reflux and was quite fussy and a terrible sleeper. I am Wondering what I can do during my pregnancy to reduce the chances of this next baby having reflux? I believe you have previously mentioned a strain of probiotic which I think was reuteri To help with reflux? If so I see this is in the daily probiotic support by Equi Life would this be enough to help if taken through out pregnancy and breast feeding? Can you share some tips on what I can proactively do to help give me the best shot at having a healthy and reflux free baby please? Thanks so much In advance Pedro: Hi Dr Cabral! First and foremost, thank you very much for dedicating so much of your time to help people all around the world. I know you probably get a lot of these messages so you might be used to it but truly take a moment to acknowledge yourself! You've changed lives! Anyways, my question is regarding dairy. I know that you prefer organic raw milk but you're still not a huge fan of it given the size of the protein. How come in Ayurveda they had so much dairy? I know that in their times it would have been raw but isn't it still inflammatory?

2003: Vanishing Tumor, POTS Healing, Gag Reflex, Long-Standing Lyme Protocol, Gallbladder Cleanse Mystery, Fulvic & Humic Acid Benefits (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: Andres: Hi I have a benign brain tumor located neear the small brain and vision nerve. Doctors country remove it. Is it possible to not make it grow? Or completely vanish it ?Kind regards, Andres Anabel: Hello, I hope you're well. My name is Anabel, I'm 26 and I've been officially diagnosed with POTS for about a year and a half now. I was a very healthy child growing up but when I was 14, I received the HPV vaccine and my body has never been the same. When I was 24, I became increasingly more fatigued, I felt my heart was going to come out of my chest and caffeine and alcohol made me land in the ER with a resting heart rate of 180bpm. I'd like to know how to get rid of POTS once and for all. I'd just like to go hiking and dancing with out feeling like I'm going to pass out and I'd like to stop feeling like a burden and nuisance. I've tried everything and nothing seems to help. Jess: I struggle with having a bad gag reflex, which has affected my life in numerous ways such as taking pills, getting x rays at the dentist, and also getting a Strep test has always been absolutely impossible for me. I can't even tongue scrape because I immediately gag when the scraper goes towards the back half of my tongue. I also want to be able to take all the supplements I'd like, but I can only deal with so many pills in one day because of this. I'm just curious if you have any thoughts as to why someone's reflex may be more sensitive than others. Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I'm someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven't yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms - neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I've had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite. Victoria: Hey Cabral, I've been thinking of doing a gallbladder cleanse as I've been experiencing pain on my right side that radiates to my back. I've read that could be gallstones. I've done one of the gallbladder flushes before and had about 120+ stones come out. The problem is I've been reading that these may not be gallstones and may just be the olive oil and lemon combination instead. Have you read research on this? And do you believe that they are gallstones? Megan:Hey Dr Cabral, thanks so much for your wealth of information. As a certified health coach for 7 years, you've helped me expand my knowledge and I'm now taking the IHP level 1 course to dive deeper. Love learning it all! Was curious if you could touch of fulvic and humic acid. I searched the podcast to only see 1 show. I've been hearing of them lots lately with regards to their anti-viral activity, nutrient uptake and microbiome boosting ability. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks again for all you do!
