2801: Sunflower Oil, Cyst on Kidney, Colloidal Silver & Skincare, Cast Iron Pans, Glutamine & Anxiety (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. Hope all is well. Question just to clear up something for me rather than I remain confused. I'm about to purchase Fatlossity for a loved one and I'm not disputing the fact that it works but I just checked ingredients and I'm seeing sunflower oil listed. Isn't that also a much maligned seed oil? Why would it be in product or is it absolutely necessary? Or do you guys formulate it in a way to minimise the usual fallouts from using it? Keep up great work. Deonna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your amazing work. I just started your program this year and have seen wonderful results. My question today is in regard to my husband. He has a simple cyst on his kidney. The it is not interfering with anything right now; however the troubling part to us is that it is huge, about the size of a football. He retires next summer and we are thinking of having it drained while he is still on insurance. I know some complications can occur by either leaving it if it continues to enlarge or possibly infection on draining, etc. I know you can’t give medical advice, but if this was you, are there any things you might try before opting for surgery. Thank you! Lidia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the abundance of knowledge that you share on a daily basis. I am super grateful to have found your podcast. I wanted to know your thoughts on the use of Colloidal Silver (topical use) on face as a toner, just as part of a simple every day skin care routine. There are also mixed thoughts online on it’s oral use, such as adding some to your drinking water to treat a cold or other symptoms. Thank you in advance. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’m wondering how to actually use an iron cast pan? I’ve listened to your podcast about pots and pans and figured it’s the safest one for pancakes and such? But how to properly use it if you don’t want to really cook with oil? It seems impossible.. Also, are old enamel glazed pots ok? Thank you so much ! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am trying to get more protein in my diet, as well as heal my leaky gut. I have been using glutamine and protein powder lots more than usual. Both to help heal my gut and get more protein in my diet, but have discovered since adding these in that the glutamine in the protein powder and glutamine powder I take is giving me anxiety and panic attacks. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Or is glutamine just a product that doesn't work well for some people and are there alternatives I can use?

2795: High Fasting Glucose, Fasting & High Blood Sugar, Supporting Liver Detox, Eating while Traveling, Broken Capillaries (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… Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i started tracking my blood sugar because i wanted to see if coffee was knocking me out of a fasted state. turns out my fasting glucose levels are elevated (consistently 100-110 upon waking and after prolonged fasts). i won’t go into everything i already do health - wise but i am very active, have no energy issues and eat well. i run a little anxious, high cortisol, etc. i have normal insulin and A1C levels. would the stress, mood and metabolism test be your go to here? Kelsi: hi again dr. cabral! i know you have a million podcasts on blood sugar but i didn’t find any on myparticular question. what’re your thoughts on longer fasts for someone who consistently has slightly elevated blood sugar levels (100-105)? even after 24-36 hour fasts my blood sugar will remain around 100. curious on whether or not fasting would be helpful in this situation. lastly, is if possible for someone’s ‘normal’ blood sugar to just be higher than the standard? Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks to your content and your team’s support, i have been able to resolve a lot of my pre existing conditions and i am currently now doing the cbo finisher after completing the cbo protocol to heal my gut. However, one thing i havent been able to resolve over the years is my liver detox capabilities. I have trouble detoxing food chemicals like salicylates and even though taking the daily activated multivitamin helps, i am still unable to eat high salicylate foods. I can’t even get through the equilife detox even when i try to titrate. My salicylate bucket fills really fast and i get super inflammed all over again. How can i support my liver to detox better? Should i minimize fat like ghee and red meat? What can i do to finally heal? Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for a great podcast and products. My husband is from Italy and when we gp there to visit family we are typically there for a minimum of 7 days. This means my mother in laws amazing pasta dishes lunch and dinner. What should I do in order to keep weight off? I bring my nutribullet so that I can make a smoothie with the DNS in it. But my mother in law is amazing in the kitchen and it is not well seen to day no to her food or even to eat very little food as there is often more dishes and they are amazing :-) I bring the digestive support but what else should I do? Even if I eat a smaller portion of the pasta and the eggplant lasagna etc. I am quite sure I will gain weight as this has happend each year so far. Thank for you advice in advance. Nicole: Have any natural recommendations for broken capillaries on the face? Feel like I have tried it all except laser at this point. Thank you!

2794: Laxative Dependency, Cooking with Oil, Wild Teasel, Celsius Energy Drink, Parathyroid Gland Removal (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: Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, can you advise on how best to recover from stimulant laxative dependencies, or just dependencies on laxatives in general, even if someone is eating right? thanks Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I’m trying not to cook with oil at all and add it in the end (olive, and even a bit of coconut oil to kitchari for example).. but all recipes start with oil in the pan.. then adding onions or spices.. am I not getting the same out of spices if I just put them in a bit of water instead of oil? I really feel like cooking with oil isn’t as healthy as adding it in the end on a plate when foods not piping hot anymore.. Also, so far haven’t found a good alternative to nonstick pans yet.. listened to your shows on the subject.. we bought a cast iron pan but how to use it properly ? Especially if I don’t want to use oil to cook on it? Thank you so much Lara: Hi, me again.. :) Have you ever talked about wild teasel and it’s tincture? Here in Europe it’s used to combat borelia bacteria (Lyme disease, especially if it was never diagnosed but the bacteria has been in the body for years wreaking havoc).. I know most of your products are based on herbs.. what do you think about using wild teasel for getting rid of borelia? Thank you, you are amazing and I am so grateful to have found you.. Oh, almost forgot.. found out about borelia at a bioresonance full body diagnostics.. I asked her in the end how my candida, parasites and heavy metals were, not telling her I was doing your protocols from October until now.. she said that strangely, none of those are a problem (considering other people have them higher).. so, thank you for developing them! Danyelle: Hi Stephen! I would just like to say you are very inspiring and your transparency definitely sets you apart from a lot of people in this industry. I was curious about your thoughts on Celsius energy drink. I am aware of the artificial sweetener Sucralose in it but, what are your thoughts regarding the message they have. They say the green tea with EGCG, ginger, and guarantee seeds turn on thermogenesis and boosts metabolic rate. I usually drink it while I am still faster before my workout and wanted to hear your thoughts (I am 23 years old so I have been able to get away with it this far). I bet a lot of people are curious because Celsius has been a huge rise in the fitness industry and know a lot of people that consume it under the same circumstances. Thanks! (: Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, Would you know if are there any known determents to having a single parathyroid gland removed due to an adenoma? The other 3 should be able compensate for the loss of 1 so there should be no harm from the available literature I've read.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/2794 - - - 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?
