1908: The Real Reason Wheat & Gluten Are Dangerous to Consume (Harvard Study) (TWT)

1906: Cat's Claw, Atypical Hyperplasia, Candida Parapsilosis, Is Exercise Is Overrated, Sex Effects Hormones, Mucusless Diet (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! Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral, I discovered you after listening to a podcast where Melissa Ambrosini interviewed you and it's changed my life so much. So thank you for all that you do! I have a question about a Herb Tea I found in a store called Cat's Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa). On the back of the packet it states: "Cat's Claw is an immune stimulant, rich in proanthocyandin, a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. This combined with it's white blood cell increasing effect, makes it effective in the treatment of cancer. It cleanses the intestinal tract, assisting with Crohn's disease, arthritis, hemorrhoids, parasites, leaky bowel syndrome, ulcers, gastritis, allergic disorders, diverticulitis and other gastro-in-test I also disorders. Also helpful for chemotherapy recovery." It states to simmer 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes , take 3 times a day. I'm wondering if you have heard of it and if so what your views are? Thanks for your time! Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was diagnosed with atypia hyperplasia in one of my breast 8 months ago. I had the area surgical removed and no cancer was detected. I am now taking Tamoxifen (20 mg) daily to reduce the risk of breast cancer. I am working with a Naturopath who works specifically with people who have cancer or who are at risk of cancer. He has me on a protocol that includes 20 mg of Melatonin. I had to work up to that amount over a period of a few weeks but now I am fine with it. My question though is I have noticed my morning blood sugar level is higher than what my levels typically are. I used to wake with a blood glucose level between 75 and 85. Now it is typically between 95 and 105. I eat a mostly paleo diet, exercise 6 days week, and keep myself very hydrated. So my question is, can that much melatonin have an impact on my blood sugar levels? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I recently took the 3-day stool test. My results came back with a 1+ level of Candida Parapsilosis. Is this treated the same way that other types of Candida are treated? I'd love to hear from you regarding what causes this and how to treat it. Thank you SO much for your time and expertise - we're all getting a little smarter because of you. Laura Tom: Hi Dr Cabral, first of all, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the community! So, everyone knows that they must exercise and that there are a lot of benefits for it. But why SHOULD you exercise? If you're healthy, happy, weight is good, you're fit... why should exercise still be a must? Christina: Hi doctor Cabral! I hope you're doing great! There's this weird health question that's been on my mind, and I figured that if anyone would know the answer, it would be you. So, I'm a 40 yo female and have been celibate for over 4 years. When I was in a relationship, my periods were normal and regular. After my relationship ended, not so much anymore. One month they are 29 days, the other 42, and so on. Can it be that the fact that I'm not having sex anymore is influencing my hormones and making my periods irregular? I know it's a weird question, but I have a gut feeling that could be it. I'm super curious to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks a million! Christina Dar: Hi love the show big fan. Have a two part question. Do you know anyone that's gone on a mucusless diet based on Arnold Ehret's results and if so how did they feel? The guy ate leafy greens and fruits exclusively and was able to hike up mountains while fasting, walk 56 hours consecutively and bike I believe something like 1000 kilometers at one time which for a non athlete is mind blowing. Also how long do you think it would take the average person to clean their bowels on a juice fast I'm on day 8 and surprisingly had a bowel movement. Ate the sad diet up until the last few years. Now going more plant based. Thanks!

1905: Wild Yam Progesterone, Peanut Allergy, Chronic Hives, Fasting Back-Fired, Betaine & Methylation, Sugar & the Gut (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: Megan: Hi Dr C, love your work! I'm writing in to try and better understand in your own experience wild yam and the benefits to someone with low progesterone. There seems to be a lot of warnings out there about using it but keen to better understand from a research perspective how it actually helps to boost progesterone when it seems to be the common understanding that it doesn't actually appear to be able to convert the diosgenin outside of a lab. Are there any issues with this raising estrogen and dhea further for people with elevated levels of those. Could this be beneficial for fertility to help supercharge the cervical mucous and potentially increase chance of the embryo 'sticking'. Keen to hear why you are now using it in one of your new products and when to use it. If so can the wild yam cream be just as affective? Thanks so much Chelsea: My 6 month old son has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy. I've listened to your previous podcasts where you recommend running an organic acid test and a stool test to see if there is any candida / leaky gut. I'm wondering if this allergy could have anything to do with heavy metals (potentially from vaccines) and if i should run a test for that? Also I just found out that our home has mold, so we are moving right away to hopefully solve that problem. Do you have protocols for babies this young? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do. Alida: Hi Stephen, I've been struggling with chronic hives for almost a year and nobody can help me find the root cause of it to make it stop. All the doctors do is give me pills and creams to cover up what is going on. They aren't helping anyway. To give you a little background, I'm a 42 year old female, overweight, had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago, have had acid reflux since I was 20 and been taking omprazole for 22 years, 2 years ago they found a tumor on my pituitary gland which is causing adrenal insufficiency (I'm on 5mg of Prednisone for this) and I have sleep apnea. Among all these, the hives is definitely the worst to deal with. Of course I still want to make everything better, but the constant hives and itching is extremely bothersome. I've tried a couple different diets with no success. I'm hoping you are able to help please. Marty: I've been doing the intermittent fasting for 4 weeks, 16/8. I've gained 4 pounds. Help! Sam: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I'm wondering if you know anything about Betaine (trimethylglycine)supplementation and methylation. I read about it in a MTHFR group I'm in but haven't found much info on it. My second question is regarding high blood pressure and hormones. What is the connection, if any? I have had issues with anxiety and high blood pressure despite being thin and eating clean since having my son two years ago.I have not had my hormones tested but recently did Organic Acids and HTMA tests and it was recommended that I test hormones as well. Thanks so much! Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if there's a connection between high blood glucose and the gut health? Does one influence the other? I'm asking because I've been wearing CGM for a few weeks and it shows that a lot of foods that I'm currently eating are raising my blood sugar - way above the normal. I also have a history of gut issues (imbalanced gut flora), so I was wondering if there's connection between the two. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I appreciate you and all that you do!
