2606: Root Cause Without Testing, Mycoplasma Pneumonia, Detox & High Blood Sugar, Dementia & Detox, Sermorelin (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… Carolyn: Hi, I stumbled across this show last week while searching the podcast app for podcasts about my problem. I feel like I found a treasure trove and am busily binge-listening to see what I can learn. My question is, how can I diagnose and address the root causes of my health issues if I live in a country where I can’t buy Equilife testing kits or find functional medicine practitioners? I live in China. I can test blood nutrient and hormone levels in a local hospital, but that’s about it. My symptoms include poor sleep quality (waking up at night), bloating after meals, chronic loose stools (no matter what I eat), susceptibility to yeast infections, difficulty losing fat (despite an active lifestyle and 95% whole-food diet), and chilblains on my hands. What should I do? Vanessa: I am very thankful for the support and education you provide to so many. You are truly a blessing. My question is about Mycoplasma Pneumonia. I tested high for this infection over a year ago and have been on a few natural supplements to help lower it, biocidin being one of them. My numbers went down but it never went away. I have been working on healing from Autoimmune, Hashimotos, Mercury Toxicity and working on drainage, detoxing, balance deficiencies, ect. After coming off my supplements for a few months because I felt so good, the Mycoplasma pneu. increased quickly. Then, I started itching, coughing anytime I would laugh, and increased inflammation again. I could believe how quick it happened. I just finished the Organic Acids Test to check my gut as well. What would you suggest? Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently tried your 7 day detox. I was wearing a continuous blood glucose monitor and found that the daily shake kept my blood sugar elevated (120s-130s) 2-3 hrs post morning and afternoon shake. I'd like to try for a longer detox, but this level made me uncomfortable. Any thoughts on ingredients in the shake that might have spiked this? My blood sugar is usually good at getting back to the high 80s - mid 90s 2 hours post meals/shakes. Thanks for the help! Linda: Hello, My friend has been diagnosed with advanced dementia. Would having her detox and follow the how to’s in your book “The Rain Barrel Effect” reverse her condition? Also, her son-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has a tumor. Is there any hope for these two beloved people?? Caitlin: I have listened to your podcast about HGH and the one on ways to increase HGH naturally. I’m curious your opinion on Semorlin as it is supposed to help the pituitary gland make HGH and not actually be a replacement of HGH. I am currently taking semorline injections and although I have researched it, I would love to hear your take on the supplement. Thanks you so much!

2605: Tooth Implant, Rebuilding After Surgery, Bowel Blockage, Sweating on One Side, Hair Loss on Legs, Progesterone Resistance (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: Victoria: Hello Dr Cabral I want to thank you for the wonderful vitamins - I’m about to get a tooth implant Do you think holistic is the best ? What do you suggest ? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’ve followed you for many years now, and need your advice. I am a healthy, 37 year old female who practices your foundational protocol along with quarterly detoxes. I had a routine laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, and two days later was admitted to the hospital with septic shock due to Strep A in my uterine lining (found during surgery and biopsied) which turned systemic. Very long story short, I’m dealing with a whole host of issues in the ICU. This is very rare, and I’m on many different intense antibiotics and have developed an illeus in my colon. You won’t see this until I’m released from hospital, but I’m wondering where to start to rebuild my system and repopulate my gut and build a healthy immune system. Any advice is appreciated! Chelsea: Hello! I have a recurring blockage in my bowel on the lower right side (as in, my actual right side, not the right side if you were looking at me, so ascending colon I believe?). It comes and goes depending on the week. I’ve done many quarterly detoxes, intestinal cleanses, gall bladder cleanse, CBO twice, and it seems to keep coming back. I’ve worked with my health coach but am still struggling to understand why. I could still be eliminating daily, but it seems something is stuck and causes some bloating, pain, etc. Do you know what could be causing this? Sometimes I think it may be when I eat too much fat but overall my diet, supplementation, and hydration is healthy and stable. Thank you! Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I have an odd observation I was wondering if you could explain. When I sit in the sauna after lifting weights, the left side of body body sweats considerably more than the right side, being most notable on my arms. Is there something to this or am I just simply a left-handed sweater (if such a thing exists)? Thanks again for the time and continuing to stimulate my curiosity. Pam: Hi Dr Cabral! A big thank you for all the valuable information you share. I've learned so much from listening to your podcast. My question is the following: My husband (60 yrs old) has lost the hair on his legs from the knee down. This area is also red. He doesn't mention any other symptoms (like pain or itching). He tells me the doctor told him that it's nothing to be worried about and that this sometimes happens as we age. My feeling is that his body is trying to tell him something. What do you think could possibly be causing this? Thank you so much! Laurie: Can you discuss progesterone resistance? I am menopausal, estrogen dominant and had a partial hysterectomy. Bio identical progesterone of any kind makes my symptoms worse and disrupts my sleep. Most supplements to boost progesterone are for pre menopausal. Also, I was born with one kidney so I only have one adrenal gland.
