2622: Reversing Inflammation Through Diet Alone (TWT)

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 !

2619: Long Haulers, Pain in Temple, Safe Cookware, Supporting Healthy Sleep, Adult ADHD (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: Amber: Hello, I'm looking for information on the COVID 19 long hauler issue. I'm experiencing some symptoms and wanted to figure out how your program works Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all that you do and share with everyone searching for answers! Several years ago my brother was doing Wim Hof exercises and heard a pop in his left temple followed by sharp and pressure type pain in that area for days to weeks. He was told by a chiropractor that it is a sinus issue. We are skeptical of this because there are no sinuses near the temple area… since then, he has had similar episodes but no popping sound. He feels like there is pressure in the vein that runs across the temple. He ends up with that same sharp pressurized pain every time and takes weeks to heal. The pain is worsened by any exertion, singing, raising his voice, bending over, breathing exercises, etc. Any ideas what this could be? He lives a healthy plant based lifestyle. Thanks!! Cathy: I have listened to your podcast on toxic cookware and safe cookware. I am still not entirely clear on guidance for popular items like Staub, which you did not mention specifically. Staub is an enamel coated cast item and I have reached out to the Company who claims they have tested for their interior being lead/cadmium free. Should I be concerned with the outside testing positive for either of those? Lots of online "experts" claiming this can rub off on the interior when pans are stored/washed. Thoughts on safety and regular use? Jillian: Hi Dr. Cabral, my hobby unfortunately has unhealthy hours that I don't have much control over. I live in Colombia and salsa dance frequently, implementing a particular style of dance that gets my heart rate up substantially (sometimes as much as a HIIT work out in a single song). Events never start earlier than 9pm. Knowing that I can't change these hours, what are the best practices/supplements/habits I can do to support my adrenals, health and sleep quality? I already sleep with a mask & earplugs, eat WFPB and do not consume alcohol or caffeine. Thank you for everything you do!! Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to all of your podcasts in which you address ADD/ADHD and I'm wondering if there is a reason why, when addressing this topic, you and others seem to only talk about kids dealing with it and not adults. Do most kids outgrow it or something? The reason I'm listening to the podcasts on this topic is because I have a couple of adult friends who have told me that they majorly struggle with ADD/ADHD and I'm trying to help them gain some knowledge. I appreciate your insight! Thanks for all that you do!
