2920: Benadryl & Gut Health, Help for Lung Issues, Hyperthyroidism & Fertility, Sugar-Free & Weight Gain, Swollen Lymph Nodes in Kids (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: Shelly: Hello. Could you explain the long term effects of using Benadryl especially with the gut? I have been using this for so many years due to sleep issues which I believe is due to histamine issues. Terese: Hello and thank you ahead of time for all that you all do. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with MAC. I did listen to your podcast on lung issues which was helpful but in wondering if you have anything additional to ask to help. I am presently using a nebutilizer with colloidal silver. Wondering if you have helped clients before with Mac. I do not want to do the antibiotic protocol that they have for 15 months with three high-powered antibiotics a day as I know that will wreck the immune system. The bacteria in my lungs has grown the past 3 years. I work part-time M 69 years old and take a low dose of Lisinopril for blood pressure as well. I am 165 lb and in 5 ft 10. I work part-time in my own gardening business but get tired and wear out faster than what I would like. Ify: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for everything you do. I wish I had submitted this question when I first found you but I'm okay with the wait. I have had hyperthyroidism for a number of years now and I have had scans confirming it is caused by graves disease. After being on Tapazole for 2 years and a bit I was advised to take radioactive iodine but decided that wasn't for me and ended up taking herbal teas to mitigate my symptoms. I had decided I wasn't damaging my liver anymore and got off my drugs. Since then my symptoms have been non-existent, resting hear rate averaging 80-90 BPM, no sweating or shaking or any expected symptoms. My new endo says I'm still hyper with THS at Katie: Hello Dr.Cabral Katie here! Big fan! I watch you every morning with my DNS nutritional support shake and coffee :) I am so grateful to have found you and have learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing your raw knowledge and not being afraid to go against the grain. I work as a Clinical Nutritionist at a Bariatric center. I don't agree with everything we do but see great results from the surgery. We are told to have patients do all sugar free items and I have seen the research recently that it can cause weight gain. I morally fight with it as I don't care to give that advise but alot of the patients are highly addicted to sugar. I do suggest they get checked for bacteria overgrowth if they seem to crave all the time. Any advice is appreciated! David: Hi Dr Cabral from New Zealand, have been enjoying your podcast for a few years now and have a question regarding my 8 year old son who is having trouble with swollen and sore lymph nodes in his neck and sometimes groin. We've seen multiple doctors and specialists over the last 8months and done blood tests. They have suggested only pain relief, anti histamines and nasal spray. He is a otherwise healthy, active and out going kid but the constant pain he is in is extremely frustrating as a parent. Do you have any suggestions that he might try? Many Thanks, Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2920 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2914: Blue Zones Evidence, Large Pores, Baking Ingredients & Tools, Conflicting Views on Anti-Aging, Body Changes & Weather (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… Paul: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your show and your ability to stay measured in polarizing times. I know you are evidence based and I'm wondering if you've looked deeper into the blue zones you reference. The book (now Netflix series) is largely anecdotal and cherry picked data and certainly cannot be referenced as scientific fact. The takeaway from the blue zones is lifestyle. Movement, culture, limiting processed foods, etc and that is what needs to be focused on. Interested in your thoughts and thank you! Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for taking my question! Over the past two to three months, one LARGE pore on my cheek appeared out of nowhere (that seems to not be blocked), one more that has recently appeared under my eye but isn't quite as drastic as the one on my cheek, and now one on my chin. I find it odd that these insanely large pores suddenly appeared with no other larger pores about them. Please help! Over the past month, I recently started using Trentinoin and I'm hoping that it'll help, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference so far. Again, these pores don't seem to be blocked. What might you suggest? I would appreciate any thoughts you may have. Just FYI, I searched your podcasts because I wanted a quicker answer :) but to no avail. :) Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you and your family are well.. I'm wondering about baking.. what are ok ingredients of baking powder? Is it ok to use just baking soda instead (sodium bicarbonate)? All cream of tartar baking powders I found have cornstarch in them.. And also, are silicone moulds ok to use? Or what are best for baking cakes, muffins, etc.. even nonstick if you line it with parchment paper? Thank you for your recommendations, enjoy your week Cynthia: Hi Doctor Cabral, I've noticed a surge in health influencers advocating for the anti-aging benefits of protein and weightlifting, recommending a minimum of 1.2 to 1.6 grams of animal-based protein per kilogram of body weight. They also encourage resistance training over extensive cardio. However, I'm intrigued by the growing number of anti-aging scientists turning to veganism and reducing their protein intake. This conflicting information has left me puzzled, and I'd appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you for all your wonderful work. I deeply value your expertise and guidance, and I'm grateful to have you as a trusted resource. Crystal: Why does the body react to weather, such as changes in weather, rain, snow, humidity/barometric changes day to night?

2913: Citricidal vs. Biocidin, Hemorrhoids, Help for Hearing, Hypersensitive to Smells, Thyroid Medication, Wild Yam Cream (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: Shelly: Hello. Could you explain the difference between the citricidal and biocidin that you use in your practice? And which one could be best used if experiencing SIBO and mold? Thank you. Paris: You are the best Dr Cabral you are my idol I listen to all your videos. A tiny bump that will not go away like a hemorrhoid does it have to be surgically removed or will anything shrink natural it for good and dissolve it? It's been there for three years. It doesn't hurt but I know it's there and i just want it to heal. I've tried ozonated olive oil aloe Vera - sugar. Red light therapy ozone therapy. But nothing works What is the most powerful way to restore healing for dad who was a drummer? What does it mean when you are hypersensitive to smells? I know you stated you can smell the smells too and you are extremely healthy. Does it mean the liver is truly toxic or can it mean I'm healthy bc I can smell it ? Cynthia: Doctor Cabral I had one side of thyroid removed 5 years ago at 57 years old. The reason.. I had a nodule which was benign however it was growing. It was monitored over 3 years before removed. I was immediately put on Thyroid meds. I never had thyroid problems or blood tests showing any concern before the partial removal. Doctors didn't wait to test they just put me on meds. They say it's lifetime. I am currently on 137 mg of Synthroid or generic. Can I try to go off meds ? Is it dangerous ? Thank you Teresa: Hi doctor Cabral, How do you feel about using wild yam cream for perimenopause issues (PMS, sleep, etc.) Thanks!
