2627: Conventional vs. Natural Health, Out of Breath, Food Sickness Traveling, European Supplement Brands, Vegan Cheese (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… Lisa: Hi. I live in RI and do not know why I have not heard about you from any of my Dr's. I think you can open the minds of all my doctors and solve this Mystery Illness I have had for 16 yrs. (Many tests with no answers) As I'm reading TheRain Barrel Effect( thanks for the free book), WHY are Dr's not helping to Navigate Dis-ease by your findings? I'm suffering in pain, can't work and all I get are prescription to pick up. I found you by doing my own research. I lost 16 + years because of pain & mobility issues that started at age 36. I'm 52 on Medicare and can't afford much but I did buy because I believe you can be "The Cause" of my Better Life. Navigating wellness is a game changer specially when aging adds to it. Ana: Hi Dr C! I'm a 29 year old Vata, IHP level 1 and 2 certified. I've done all protocols, I take level 3 supplements every day. I eat 95% plant-based with approx 60g protein daily. BMI 22, 10k steps every day with resistance training 4x a week. I don't do any cardio apart from walking. I've noticed that I run out of breath very quickly when I'm going up the stairs, walk quickly or walk uphill. Are there any root causes that you can think of? Is there anything I can do to improve this? I'm so young to be running out of breath like that lol. I used to have asthma as a child but that's about it. Never had asthma again and no chest infections. Ana: I really enjoy your podcast, thank you! I’m a naturopathic doctor and it’s common to see various patients saying that all of their issues started after getting food poisoning in Mexico. I will soon be going to Mexico and I’ll be staying in an all inclusive hotel so I’m quite nervous about encountering a stomach bug, especially after all the work I’ve done into optimising my gut health. Do you have any tips? What food choices should I go for and any supplements you’d recommend? Thank you! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. hope you & your family are well.. I have a favour to ask.. I would like to suggest for you to make a Friday review of some European supplement brands that you think are quality enough to recommend.. So far I’ve found two brands: Viridian and TerraNova that seem clean but I’m not sure about the dosages recommendations, the right versions of certain vitamins/minerals, etc. Some of us here over seas are really struggling which brands to trust.. and since I trust your knowledge and expertise, I would really appreciate your help on this.. I’ve ordered EQUILIFE supplements 3x now but the cost of shipping is just too much (I know it’s not your fault), it also doesn’t ship to my country or any surrounding ones so it’s always a hassle to get it here as well.. thank you so much Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! I have a question about vegan cheese.. is there any that isn’t just bad for you? And all the recipes to make your own at home contain nutritional yeast.. as far as I understood you, nutritional yeast is not good for us, right? So, what’s the best, healthiest option in your opinion (which I value the most ;) ) Thank you for all you do for the world, people and our healthy future !

2626: Virus & Depression, Antibiotics & CBO Protocol, HBOT, ALT Levels, Trimethylaminuria (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: David: Hi Dr Cabral. You already helped me a lot so I’m so grateful. I almost totally healed myself and got rid of all symptoms thanks to you. I have hashimotos . Theb I was hit by the new virus (Covid) and got into the hospital. Since then depression and anxiety are debilitating.. The problem is I just got a new job and I need to work every day. I know it’s not the solution but I’m thinking on taking an antidepressant to be able to work. I love this job and my family needs money. What do you think about virus and symptoms like I mentioned? What should I do? Should I try antidepressant? I am so weak I’m afraid losing this job. Thank you David Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral , I want you to know how much I’m learning and enjoying your book,Pod Casts and FB group ! Thank you so much . I have a quick question. I’m going to be having a surgery for Breast Explant and hernia mesh removal in about 5 months . I was told by my coach that I need to do the CBO after the Parasite cleanse.. problem is I will be doing all of this to then have major surgery as well as be on a good amount of Antibiotics for a while . Should I wait until after surgery and antibiotics to then start CBO and CBO finisher ? I don’t want to have to buy the protocol again and do it all over again . I’m already spending a lot of money on this surgery so I need to scrape my Pennie’s . What is your best opinion on the matter ? Thank you & God Bless Gordon: Hello Dr Cabral, curious on your thoughts on HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy). I searched podcasts and only found one on HBOT and autism. I’ve read it can be beneficial for TBI (traumatic brain injury) and possibly good for vision issues. I’ve had several concussions and now experience what I call optical migraines. I get double vision, loss of vision, lightheaded/ dizzy at random times. Can be frequent. I’m thinking this could be related to the concussion. Could HBOT help this? Also curious on your thoughts on HBOT and cancer. I’ve seen mixed reviews on this. Possibly can it slow the progression of cancer and/or help with enhancing treatments. Thank you for answering what you can and thanks for all you do. Gordon Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m on month 2 of the CBO protocol for Hydrogen SIBO. I had my annual physical last week with bloodwork and see that I have elevated ALT levels (42). Prior to this I had no issues. Is this a normal reaction from using the protein shake & CBO protocol? I’m searching your podcast but haven’t found anything on this specifically. Thank you! Kelsey Catrina: Hello Stephen. I heard your podcast on body odor #2372. I was wondering if you have ever worked with someone with Trimethylaminuria? It’s also called the fish odor disorder . If you could give some insight on this disorder i would greatly appreciate it!

2622: Reversing Inflammation Through Diet Alone (TWT)
People say that inflammation is the underlying root cause for all “dis-ease” in the world, but what we need to understand is that it is not the TRUE root cause.

2620: Hives, Vitamin B6, Ayurvedic Diagnostics, Reoccurring Cancer, High Oxalate Foods (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… Toni: My son, who is 36 years old is having severe hives and woke up today with a swollen face and lips. He went to the doctor and they gave him a steroid shot and hydroxyzine. They of course did not try to get the the root of the problem. These break outs have been going on with increased severity for three weeks. The rash seems to be deep, starting out as dots and becoming one huge whelp. He did discover that the laundry soap, containing lavender was a major irritant but even after eliminating this, the hives continue to get worse. Thank you in advance for answering this question! Lori: Hello, I came across your podcast on liver detoxification and found it really enlightening. I located the detox you sell on your website and noticed the high level of vit b-6, which is common in so many supplements. I struggle to understand this phenomenon. The recommended daily amount is between 1-3 mg yet every supplement contains 50mg or more. In Europe the upper limit is 30mg and there have been cases of toxicity reported at low levels. I’d love more information on the consumption of this particular vitamin, as I know it is really important. Thank you! Summer: Hi Doc! I really like the ayurvedic "diagnostics" =) podcasts! I have found that when I search these charts online that they are all different... Would you be willing to post examples of the most accurate charts you've seen from your experience? I saw there is a chart on the tongue podcast page, but I would love a tongue chart that links up symptoms to visible signs on the tongue, a facial diagnostic chart, and a fingernail chart. Hoping to get some clarity! Thanks for all you do! Summer Karen: I have a friend that keeps getting cancer, how can I help her get rid of it for good. She is done with chemo and radiation, they are no longer working. Thank you Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a quick question on your opinion of high Oxalate foods .. I feel I may have an allergy to them so I bought the book Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton and it’s making a lot of sense . I also have to stay away from high histamine foods do to MCAS. My ability to eat an assortment of food is becoming smaller and smaller . I have ran the big 5 and removed the allergy foods but I’m sensitive to other foods that did not show up on the allergy test . I love your DNS shake and drink it every morning but I’ve been noticing I’m still very bloated every day . Im confused on what my body can even tolerate now . The big 5 did not show Candida issues . Should I try removing all high Oxalate foods for a period of time in your opinion ? Thanks so much !
