1710: Detox Info, Knuckles Inflamed, Solar Time Calculator Diet, CBO Options, Oil Pulling & Dehydration, Hormone-Free Birth Control (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! Andrea: Hey there! I heard you speak on Christine Hasslers podcast. I was wondering if you have more info on detoxing, specifically, the basics like you spoke about on her podcast.Thank you. Michelle:Hi Dr. Cabral!Thank you so much for everything you do to change people's lives. You have definitely made mine better since discovering you and your practice!The knuckle on my pinkies (moreso my left pinky than my right) is inflamed and has progressively gotten larger over the past couple years. I'm only 35, am in good shape, I have done 3 of your detoxes, and am on the last month of the CBO protocol. I notice my knuckles feel tighter and larger when I eat simple carbohydrates, but even on the detoxes and CBO protocols I don't see the knuckles getting smaller.My paternal grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis and her fingers ended up going in many different directions. Is there any way to stop the trend of my knuckles enlarging, and even more importantly, can I reverse it?Thanks again for everything and I look forward to your answer!Sincerely,Michelle Yvonne: Do you know anything about Sun Sync Nutrition and the Solar Time Calculator diet - work with your body's natural rhythms dictated by solar time to experience profound physical, mental, and spiritual health? I would like to know more about this - what it is, how it works, etc - can't seem to find out any more information unless you pay for it. Andrew: Dear Dr. Cabral,I'll make this as short as possible. For those who are under extreme financial hardship and can't run labs and also can't afford protocols at this time, what do you suggest to help those who are most likely suffering from some type of gut imbalance? I've heard you say it doesn't go away on it's own. Is the CBO protocol the only option for correcting this ? Likewise, is there any methods of correcting hormonal imbalances other than lowering stress without the ability to purchase correcting supplements or protocols? Basically what can we do at home to help in these areas for people with very limited funds even if it's for a temporary period of time till they are more financially stable? Im a huge fan of your work but it's been extremely frustrating not being able to purchase things I'm sure can help me. This is why I try to absorb all the information you provide us and so thankful for that.Sincerely,Andrew Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a big fan and I'm making my way through all your educational podcasts, I have learned so much. Thank you so much for what you do.I have recently added oil pulling to my morning routine but when I wake up I feel very dehydrated and I want to drink a lot of water. Would drinking water in the morning before oil pulling move the bacteria build up from the mouth back into the body? What are your thoughts?Thank you. Chelsea: Hi Dr Cabral,I have been in search of a hormonal free birth control, and found a product called Phexxi. It contains lactic acid (1.8%), citric acid (1%), and potassium bitartrate (0.4%) that is inserted vaginally before sex. I wanted to see what your thoughts are on it and if you thought those ingredients are safe. Thanks for all your knowledge. Love love your podcast Ryan: Hello Dr. Cabral I hope this question finds you well. Possible solutions for early morning calf cramps? In the later stages of my sleep my calf's have been cramping up. I have been taking cal-mag before bed and was wondering if it could be a magnesium or hydration issue? Thanks! Ryan: Hello again, I wanted to ask one more question. What are your thoughts on the use of using psychedelics for healing remedies? I have heard you speak on the subject once but more or so wanted to know if the use of LSD, being synthetic, is less optimal than the use of an organic magic mushroom for example. Would you still consider LSD or acid as having potentially healing properties?

1709: Severe Eczema, Sun Salutations, Rashes on Arms, Emotional Period Symptoms, Laser Hair Removal, Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy (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: Sam: Hi Dr Cabral! I suffer from severe eczema and have listened to all of the episodes where you've mentioned it. You say that usually it's caused by a food sensitivity but I have done an igG food sensitivity test and have eliminated all of the foods that I was sensitive to and even though I saw a minor improvement, I continue to get rashes all over my body. Is it ONLY caused by food sensitivities or could it also be because of some sort of gut issue such as candida overgrowth? Thank you so much. Aaron: I have heard you talk about doing sun salutations. Internet searches show variations of the sun salutation, and I was wondering if you have links, recommendations, or your own books or videos demonstrating proper technique for this movement. Your podcast on sun salutations has a graphic, but without a description of how to form the different poses, when to breath, etc., I am a little confused.If your source also has a good book or video for how to practice kundalini yoga I would greatly appreciate that too!You've mentioned you listen to binaural beats and I would really like to know more. Internet searches for binaural beats produce random new age psychadelic videos and sounds, but these don't specify what frequencies you are hearing, which ear you are hearing them in, or why those beats were chosen. Where do you get your binaural beats, why did you choose them, and what frequencies do you recommend for different stages of healing?Sorry for the long questions. I appreciate your efforts and all you and your team do. Nick:Hi guys , we are leading a plant based primarily and feel as though we are adhering to a healthy lifestyle. my wife Is experiencing bad eczema on her arms . She has not experienced this befor in her life even when she was lead a far un healthy lifestyle and diet.Really hoping for some advice and tying to work out what is the root cause of this , so that we can adjust something to make it better for her.. Susannah:Hi doctor Cabral,I have a quick question: about a week before my period I start feeling a bit more 'emotional' and 'down'. My mood and energy are very low, and it seems like doing anything becomes just a bit more difficult. I know that this is more or less normal and has to do with hormone levels dropping fast. I try getting more movement and sunlight in this period, but are there any natural remedies or supplements that you can recommend to take during this week, in order to make these simptoms less severe?Thanks so much in advance for your answer! Kristy: Hello Stephen, I just want to thank you for your podcast and sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all! Im not sure if this question has been asked before (I did try and search) but is Laser hair removal safe? Thank you so much :) Darcy: I have a severe flare up of eczema on occasion probably due to stress as my diet is pretty good most of the time. The only person I know who gets it worse is a cousin who had to be on prednisone a few times due to how bad the breakouts were. My question is he has used one or two drops of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a glass of distilled water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for 3 or 4 days and it has cleared his breakout up. Is this safe? Have you heard of this for? What are the pros and cons? I googled it and saw things like stroke and seizures come up from oxygen bubbles being created in the blood I think? I am assuming that would be a large amount of pure HP. It works for him so I wanted to try it.

1705: The Best Balancing Ayurvedic Herbal Adaptogens (TWT)
