2662: Zinc to Copper Ratio, Detox Meal Timing, Painful Stool, Sleeping with Mouth Open, Macular Atrophy, Preventive Eating (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… Whitney: Hi Dr. Cabral, My question is regarding my zinc to copper ratios. On the HTMA test my zinc was wildly off the charts at 335, and copper was at 1.5. Zn/ Cu ratio is 223.33. I double tested to be sure I got a good sample and it’s legit. I also then tested my blood serum levels and they were in normal range (zinc 87 / copper 103). Any idea what is going on and if/how I should take copper alone and avoid zinc ? I do have these white hairs coming in that are very course which is strange for my genetics (I’m 35 year old female, brunette). I’m also a little hypothyroid, cold hands and feet. The most obvious culprit to me is that I wear mineral (zinc based) sunscreen daily (I work outside). All the sunscreens I use claim to be non nano zinc but maybe they are still absorbing? Thanks SO much!!!! Joyce: Hi! I am waiting to receive my 21 day detox kit and my question is about the hours I should be "eating" on days 3-7. I get up usually around 8am so my first shake will be at 9am, lunch at 12:30pm, 2nd shake at 4pm and dinner at 7:30pm. The problem is that 7:30pm is too late for me to eat. Is it possible to modify these times so that I am not eating dinner at 7:30? Can I interchange the 4pm shake with the 7:30pm dinner? Please help before I get started on this program. I am looking forward to feeling better! Thank you, Joyce Kelsie: Hi Dr Cabral. Recently I have had some constipation with very large stool. It ends up causing bleeding and is very painful to pass. I’ve tried upping fiber and it doesn’t help. Any tips? Jillian: My question is regarding my almost 2.5 yr old daughter. On and off since birth she has slept with her mouth open. This has gotten worse to where she sleeps with it open almost always for about 6 months now. She snores which interrupts her sleep and during the day seems to keep her mouth open while playing/running. Her voice is also a bit nasally. Despite this she does not get sick often but when she does get a cold the extreme mucus seems to last a month or more. Her doctor recommended she take Zyrtec nightly to see if it’s an allergy issue and also recommended us for a sleep study. The Zyrtec does seem to help with the night snoring and coughing. My question is 1) are there long term affects of taking Zyrtec regularly? And 2) do you rec removing tonsils/adenoids? What do you rec for this? Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you so much for all that you do. My 15 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with macular atrophy. The doctors are suggesting that it is genetic and there is nothing that can be done to improve her condition. Also there is a possibility that her eyesight could continue to decline and she could go blind. I wanted to see what supplements you recommend that help with her eyesight. Thank you! Alan: I have a problem that I constantly eat preventively so I never feel hungry because I’m afraid of painful hunger pains. As a child there was little food at home and I received NYC public school free lunch which has small portions or not editable leaving me hungry First, I would like the ability to eat only every 3 hours Second, do others have this issue?

2661: Silica Dust, Dinnerware, Oura Ring Settings, Gut Health & Fibroadenoma, Chest Vibrations, Fluoroquinolone Toxicity (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: Chris: Hi doctor Cabral. Absolutely love anything you are doing for the world. I just have a question regarding silica dust. I work in construction and although I do everything I can to prevent inhaling the dust, it is extremely hard to keep myself from breathing in some dust every day. I know how deadly silicosis can be and was wondering if there were ways that I could help rid the body of any built up silica dust in my lungs? I was also wondering if there was a lab/test that would indicate if I had high levels of silica in my body? Thanks for everything you do Chris Tamara: HI DR. Cabral Can you tell me is it safe to eat off of Cornell brand plates and bowls? Thanks for all you do! Amy: Hello Dr. Carbral! I have a Oura ring, but I feel like I'm not using it to its full capability. Where is the best place to find info on healthy parameters (HR, HRV, sleep time, etc)? Thanks! Anonymous: Hi doc! Been gung ho on natural health for about 5 yrs. Threw in 100% with you about a year ago after binging your podcast for a year. Been through many of your protocols with little progress with my gut, still100% committed to the protocols & living a healthy lifestyle. I struggle a lot with stress anxiety & low mood. I had a 6in fibroadenoma removed from my left breast in 2014 & lately I feel like it’s coming back. Large lump on the back of my left shoulder for 10 yrs. Also within the last year I’ve grown a mobile grape sized lump on the back of C6. Gut lymph dumping grounds perhaps? Been working so hard following everything to the T, so why is my gut not healing & what’s with all these lumps especially if the body regenerates within a year? Stress? I get so frustrated & scared. Thanks! Nicole: Hi! I've suffered from a strange vibration in my chest that comes with each heartbeat. It started a few months ago & initially only in the evenings. Now I'm having it most of the day except while lying down & resting. More recently I've also developed some random come & go twitches in my leg, eye lid, arm & vibrations that come & go in my ankle and hip. I've seen doctors, run tests of all sorts including HTMA & all look fairly good. I've been to a cardiologist who after doing testing diagnosed me with mild mitrial valve prolapse, mild regurgitation & mild mitrial valve thickening. He says he's not concerned & I shouldn't be having these symptoms from it. My thoughts are possibly my nerves have become sensitive due to recent stresses & maybe dysautonomia? What are your thoughts on this? Aly: Hi Dr. Cabral, is it possible to heal from Fluoroquinolone toxicity, or is this something that can permanently damage mitochondria and therefore something that has to be managed for the rest of my life? I was disabled by Cipro for 6 months, and I can now walk short distances. I still have tendon and ligament damage in my neck, elbows, knees and Achilles. I'll do anything to heal--hot and cold therapy, supplements, morning sunlight, diet changes, and more. Eager to hear your thoughts on this!

2658: Heavy Metals Linked to Brain Aging, Alzheimer’s & Learning Disabilities (WW)
Many people believe that aging itself is a “dis-ease.” But what we need to understand is that as we age every other “dis-ease” of the body and brain becomes accelerated due to our bodies inability to maintain equilibrium as it did when we were younger. Overtime our rain barrel fills up with things like heavy metals and this shows up as a diagnosable “dis-ease” when we get older. So today I want to share with you a research study that provides insight as to how heavy metals affect the body and brain and what you can do to avoid them.
