1794: Germ vs. Terrain Theory, Phytoestrogens, Newborn/Toddler Labs, Washing Salads, Enzyme Diarrhea, Ear Candling, Cupcakes (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! Ryan: I was hoping you could shed some light on viruses and antibodies. I guess this kind of gets into the germ vs. terrain theory and are viruses really the bad guys they are made out to be. How does one reconcile that a child at just 7 days old has been shown to have something near 100 million viruses in its stool, but does not have the ability to produce antibodies yet, and yet will be completely fine? Stella: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you're having a lovely day, thank you for showing up every weekend :) I've been doing a significant amount of research on phytoestrogens and I'm quite confused because I've hear you talk in the past how these increase estrogen levels. However, even though there is research on that, there is also research on phytoestrogens actually also being antiestrogenic. So it looks like phytoestrogens have been shown to have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. Which one is it? Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering what labs you would run on a newborn just to make sure everything looks good and that the baby is healthy. My son is now 2 and 1/2 months old and just developed some eczema/ or maybe possible food allergy? I would like to get to the root cause of this. What labs would you recommend? As always, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. Karla: How would you recommend washing salads in South America if tap water is not an option? Is it better not to wash it? I'm not sure how to wash salads or veggies with something that is not running water… Anonymous: Is there a specific reason why someone might experience diarrhea and upset stomach when taking digestive enzymes? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I've recently learned of ear candles and I'm wondering what is your opinion on them? And also, if you would recommend using them, how often?Thank you so much for being our go-to person for everything health-related.. means so much! Have a lovely day everyone and happy healing! Priya: Please I want to eat cupcakes. Can we have desserts on our cheat meals for the CBo 3 month plan?

1793: Candida Diet Plan, Subclinical Hypothyroidism, Inherited Trauma, Grouping Supplements, Myers Briggs Personality, B-12 vs. B-Complex (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: MacKenzie: Suffering with candida and am planning on doing your protocol with some supplements from my functional med doctor. What is the diet you recommend? I couldn't find a podcast that went into detail with this. Gaby: Hello I am a 44 year old female who lives in Perth Western AustraliaFor the past few years, my blood test results have shown a positive thyroid antibodies :a TSH reading of 4.68 in 2019, 4.22 in 2020, similar reading recent blood test last week . Subclinical hypothyroidism antithyroid peroxidase reading 226 IU/ml. My GP has told me I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but its not too significant tot commence thyroxine, although he feels that I will have to in the future.Im wondering if this can be corrected naturally. Eg supplements, dietary adjustment etc. I have been taking Thompson's kelp supplement for the past 3 months. I'm not sure if this has been beneficial.Regards Gaby Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral,I appreciate your podcast so much. It has been instrumental in helping me, especially the mindset and motivation mondays, as I suffer from anxiety and depression.I am 35, vegan (recently tested, no deficiencies), COM-T met/met, with chronicle sinusitis since I was young. I also have alopecia areata, eczema, have been in several car accidents and have had to process the death of both of my parents in the last decade. Recently I have started intranasal corticosteroids, which do help but I know this is not a sustainable situation. I am also having a really hard time emotionally since stopping depo provera, so I got prescribed Busiprone and Hydroxyz. I also listened to your podcasts on seed cycling and started a month ago. My question is, what is the best way to undo mental and physical trauma in your body? I have thought about acupuncture and Rolfing especially. I can't help but feel that my body is responding to the trauma I have experienced. Also I would like to know your opinion in inherited trauma, as my mother was a survivor of abuse and my father survived the dustbowl, imprisonment and many other traumatic life events. Thanks for all you do! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I've listened to your podcasts about the perfect breakfast and heard on so many episodes what you do for your first meal (smoothie & sometimes oatmeal) but I don't have the time to make the smoothie in the morning because I work for the family I live with and when they come downstairs my work starts but before that I don't want to wake them up with sounds of the blender, hehe.. so after my lemon water I just eat mono meals of fruit until lunch which is usually quite late (sometimes later than 3pm) which makes me feel quite run down considering I'm predominantly a vata.. and also my gut isn't ok yet, so I probably shouldn't consume that much fruit. Any suggestions on what and how I should eat? Also, when to take which supplements, with meals or away from them, which can go together and which should be taken apart from each other? I've heard Ester C should be consumed on its own but with a meal that doesn't contain fruit, Magnesium should also be taken on its own one hour before bedtime, but now I've heard it should be taken together with Zinc for better absorption.. when to take vitamin D during the day? All this contradicting information is so confusing so your help means A LOT!! Thank you so much & never change because you're a light at the end of the tunnel Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral.Have you ever heard about the myer briggs personality type test?If so what's your opinion about it?And if you have completed it, maybe you could reveal your result ;-)!Thanks for everything doc! David: Why is vitamin B12 so widely recommended by doctors and health practitioners, but not a B Complex? Is it because B12 deficiency is so much more severe than deficiencies in B3, B5, B6, etc.?

1787: Cracks on Tongue, Bone Broth for Gut, Arabinose, Organic Clothing, Postpartum Depression, Goldenseal, Swollen Legs (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! Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to know what causes a crack tongue and how I could treat it naturally to remove the cracks from the tongue? Is it a lack of drinking water? Mike:Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to know if I could use bone broth powder to seal up the leaky gut? I am allergic to glutamine. I get headaches, joint pain and accelerated heartbeat. Mackenzie: Any info on having high levels of arabinose? No other yeast showed high Tobias: Dear Dr. Cabral, My name is Tobias, I've been following your Instagram for a while now and continue to find it really inspiring!I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the relevance of toxins in conventional clothing as I am trying to figure this out for myself at the moment.On one hand you read about toxins, including the dye itself, remaining in the fabric even after many washes and tiny amounts being able to absorb through the skin or being inhaled as dust particles. On the other hand many people in the holistic health field appear to wear mostly non-organic brands.Assuming the items have been washed before first wear: Is the impact on the body so tiny as to be completely irrelevant even long term - meaning that when only considering personal health (environment etc. aside), it does not make any difference which clothes you wear?Including underwear & socks?What about the sometimes even visible rubbing off of denim dye even after washing?What about absorbing toxins from shoes when sweating?Your thoughts are much appreciated,Tobias Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral. This question is regarding postpartum depression. Neither me or my family has issues with this and this question is really out of curiosity. I have started reading Gabby Bernstein's books which are predominantly self-help books and am really enjoying them. After writing 7 self-help books, she opened about suffering severe postpartum depression and I really admire her courage to speak about it. It's crazy to me how someone so spiritually centered can go through something like that. After doing some research, it looks like a biochemical issue more than anything so I would love to know if you have ever come across that and what your views are. Is there usually any underlying root cause to this or does it really vary? Thank you so much! Rachelle: Hi, I have a friend who takes a goldenseal tincture from a local ginseng farm proactively to help boost her immune system. She swears it's also helped her her menstural cycles. Can you discuss the benefits of goldenseal and tell more about it? Samantha: I have become a recent fan of your work, and love everything that I am learning! You are a wealth of knowledge. My question is: After the end of my day, my legs are swollen to where I can see a pretty big indention from my socks and pants, especially noticeable more toward the ankle. There are times in which my legs seem achy due to the swollenness, maybe. Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you so much for your knowledge and I look forward to hearing from you.

1786: Bladderwrack, Dead Probiotics, Nightmare Relief, Filling Breakfast, Parotid Tumor, Saved My Life (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: Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I used the search feature and found nothing hence this question. Do you ever use bladderwrack in your practice? If so, what is it used for, the benefits etc? Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, is it possible for probiotic supplements to contain dead bacteria or mold? I took a probiotic supplement and it made me very sick within 3 weeks of taking it. I'm practically having all the symptoms mold toxicity. Chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle twitching, joint pain, brain fog, red eyes and shortness of breath, constipation and other symptoms. What test should I run and what supplements or protocol should I take? Carrie-Ann: Hello Dr CabralI absolutely love all that you do. You are making an enormous difference on this planet. Thank you so very much for this.I am starting the IHP program in 2021 and I'm so excited. Right now I'm on day 11 of my first 21 day detox. For the last 5 nights I haven't had a nightmare (which previously I have had the same reoccurring nightmare every night at the same time - 40 minutes after I fall asleep, for the last few years). I know this is related to the detox as I've changed nothing else in my life at this moment. My question for you is why is this happening? Thank you again. Patti: Hi Dr Cabral! I just started listening to your podcasts and they have really helped motivate me to start caring about my health again. I have four questions.1. I am very lazy about eating breakfast. I'm a vegetarian (I eat eggs and cheese) and am always hungry! A smoothie doesn't do it for very long. What is the best breakfast to keep me full?2. My mom passed away from pancreatic cancer. Anything I can do to prevent this cancer?3. My sister just discovered a parotid tumor that she will eventually have removed. Do you have any information to share on parotid tumors?4. Wondering how your labs differ from labs that would be done at a "regular" doctor. They take so much more blood during those tests which is a big fear of mine. Why are yours different? And does using less blood make them less effective?Thank you! Drea: I wanted you you know that you and your team saved my life. I was preparing to whither away and die. Your words "I know everyone can get better" spoken through your podcast changed everything for me because I believed you and two years ago today, I ordered the Big 5. Thank you.
