1899: Cold Drinks, Surgery & Yeast Overgrowth, Konjac Noodles, Low WBC, Boosting Natural Immunity, Sneezing & Food Sensitivities (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! Lisa: We have been trying to have a second baby for 4 years and haven't been successful so i started to see an acupuncturist. She told me that drinking cold shakes is not good for my body since it takes a lot of energy to digest and it can cause cold uterus. I have been drinking your shakes daily because it has an abundance of nutrients. What is your thoughts on this? Should I stop drinking the shakes ? can drinking shakes really cause Infertility? Samantha: My question is about oral surgery and supplements/protocols. I am about to start the CBO protocol followed by a heavy metals detox per my lab results. My IHP also recommended many supplements that I just began taking. I have to be put under general anesthesia to remove all 4 wisdom teeth soon. Will pausing the protocol and supplements for the week of the surgery make it less effective at eliminating the yeast overgrowth? Also, what are your thoughts on continuing the DNS and additional supplements (cal-mag, balanced zinc, Vit c, etc) while taking pain medication? Paula: Hi Doc! What's your opinion on konjac noodles? Apparently is made out of Japanese Konjac yam and it's extremely low in kcal... Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to the podcast & enjoy following along on instagram. Thank you for all of your time, energy, sincere passion & knowledge. You are giving so much hope.. my question ill try to sum it up.. ive had low wbc for like 5 years or so now or so i have found out. My dr. Also keeps mentioning high cholesterol but not due to diet? I try to lead a health lifestyle however I am on the anxious side, always have been. I enjoy running & do other workouts. I also try to be conscious of eating healthy however fall under perfection for sure ! My primary dr was concerned sent me to a hematologist. i dont notice any symptoms of it so i dont think such as getting sick more often or not healing .. The hematologist says it could be benign ethnic neutropenia. Or he mentioned another benign cause that he says he sees often. im concerned im overlooking something. I just started taking the DNS & the healthy gut support. I do take birth control unfortunately, something im not proud of. What advice (or hope) can you give ? How can I be sure Im nutritionally/supplementally (is that even word?) doing all i can? :) thanks a million times dr cabral, take care - Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I am wondering what your thoughts are on protecting yourself if you decide to get the vaccine. It goes against what I believe, but feel I may not have a choice if I want to continue my work or travel. Holding off as long as I can. I am a yoga teacher who works with older adults and may need it for work. I take your recommended protocol - vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, etc. Also, I feel increasingly alienated from my friends, family and colleagues due to my resistance against getting the vaccine. Every time someone shouts a hurray, I got my vaccine, it is hard not to cringe. People are starting to act like I am losing my mind for my beliefs. Please help. Marco: Could sneezing be caused by a food sensitivity?

1898: Vatas & Raw Foods, Indoor Air Quality, Reflux with Meals, Differences Between Doctors, Supplement Labels, Squiggly Things in Urine (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: Lynn: If I am a Vata should I be limiting my raw food, for instance salads (my favorite food) and eat mostly cooked foods? Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question on internal air quality. The floor of my office building is about to be refurbished including new carpets, paint and furniture. Being a multi-storey office building without openable windows, I was already concerned about the indoor air quality, however this will no doubt make things much worse. Apart from spending as little time indoors as possible, is there any thing else I can do to minimise the health impacts (such as supplements or practices)? Many thanks! Sarah: Dear Dr. Cabral, After my stool test showed bacterial overgrowth, I am on week 3 of the CBO with the citricidal drops, and started having heart burn for the first time. I never had this before - my main symptoms before were severe bloating and gas, but not heart burn. Now, for the last two weeks I've had this reflux either before a meal or after. I've been following the CBO protocol diet strictly, with the enzymes. Can you help me understand why this new symptom has developed - is it normal for this to happen on the CBO, is it die-off, or is it related to stomach acid? Will it get better after more weeks or do you recommend I do anything specific to address it? Thank you for all your help. Bob: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to you for about a year and enjoy the daily information that you have been given. I look forward to listening each day and appreciate your passion to help bring us the truth and best for us and our families I live in Vietnam currently (an American working as an ex-pat) I want to find someone over here I can work with. I have looked up Functional medicine doctors and Aryvaic Doctors and Doctors of naturopathy but I still get a little confused on the difference and which one is the best to work with. I don't have any big issues that I am aware of and my overall health is ok but needs to lose a little weight. My goal is to improve my health and live longer and be able to live life to the fullest with plenty of energy and loof and feel great. Based on listing to you would recommend starting with some tests and agree but what type of doctor or doctors should I be reaching out to help in my goals Afra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Listen to you regularly and I hear you all the time say there is no pressure to you the equil.LIfe brands but you if you don't we should be looking out or making sure that what we purchase has no something or make sure it has plenty of something else in that brand. Do you have this information relating to this all in one place that I can use as a reference when deciding to purchase as I live overseas and and hard to get in-country and I want to check locally but ensure it is doing the job. I do understand that your products are better and as I make trips to the US I can try to stock up as well. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I wrote in earlier this year about having squiggly things in my urine and you answered it for a male related to the prostate but I am actually a 30 year old female and so curious what these are a reflection of. Given the unusual nature of them It is difficult to try and research when I don't know what it even is. Can you give any insight as to why I would be getting white squiggle things in my urine that look more structured than just discharge as they are very clearly little squiggles. Thanks!

1892: Nausea During Pregnancy, Cold Sores, Wearable Technology, Sun Allergy, Sauna & Binders, Rosemary & Mold Detox (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! Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral, What do you suggest to help with nausea during pregnancy? Is there something you should be doing pre conception to prevent or reduce nausea while pregnant? Also is there a link to histamine intolerance and nausea during pregnancy? And if so what can be done for this? As I am someone who already has histmaine intolerance and am currently doing all I can to heal my gut etc. Am I more likely to have nausea during pregnancy for this reason? Many thanks Joanna Anonymous: I can't explain to you how beneficial it is to have a resource where I can ask questions and know that I'll receive a thorough, accurate, and unbiased opinion. Thank you (and your staff) so much for providing this! In the last 6 months, I've had two outbreaks of cold sores that appeared in the same location on my upper lip. It has been approximately 4 months since the last episode but the skin on this area of my lip continues to feel rough and often sloughs and peels. Additionally, I sometimes wake up in the morning with this part of my lip looking and feeling slightly swollen. I am an otherwise healthy 48-year old woman who eats a primarily whole foods diet, exercises regularly, and feels great. It just seems odd to me that this is happening and I'd love to figure out a solution. Thanks SO much! Ryan: How do you see health coaching in the future? And the future of PCPs? With the exponential rate of growth of technology, I can only imagine devices like the Oura ring, and CGMs, will quickly advance to be able to measure all sorts of physiological functions, toxicities and deficiencies. Combine that with advancements in the internet and the "internet of things" that is coming with 5G and is only going to continue to expand... do you foresee the possibilty of a simple wearable or implant being able to monitor hormones, vitamins, minerals, metals, etc and immediately act on that data by automatically ordering what you need, or even providing relief itself? Where does the doctor or the health practitioner become irrelevant in some aspects? Ryan: I have a friend who breaks out in a rash from sunlight exposure. I couldn't find anything from searching past podcasts. She says all she has found to prevent it is covering up in sunblock. It hasn't always been the case, but has been for a significant portion of her life. Could it be a histamine issue? Look forward to your input. Cheers. Lynn: When doing a sauna, what supplemental support do you recommend, i.e. binders, electrolytes, Vit. C? Also, are there still benefits if one doesn't sweat very much. Marco: Hey Doc! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our community's questions, really appreciate it! Is there a reason as to why you use the product perimine in your mold detox protocol rather than just regular Omega-3s? I saw that the primine product is basically perilla seed extract and this is one of the richest sources of ALA based on my research. Given that ALA is an omega-3 fatty acid, I was just curious why you included this instead of the Equi.life Omega-3?
