Check out today's questions: 

 

Lauren: Hi there! I have had a cold for almost 2 months now. I’m a breastfeeding mom 4 months postpartum. So I know I can’t take a lot of things and my sleep recovery isn’t the best. I thought I was over it but still had mucus congestion. Constantly blowing my nose & the mucus would be bright yellow. I’ve been taking a lot of immunity supplements, teas, and doing sauna every so often. Just yesterday I randomly started loosing my voice and now have a very sore throat. Any advice? Thanks!

 

Kristen: Dr. Cabral, A few months ago I had a fever blister break out on the left side of my face. Even now after the blister has fully healed, I can still feel tingling on the left side of my face, near my left ear, similar to when an outbreak is about to occur but no new blister has emerged. I also currently have a cold and only the left side of my face feels “sick” - only my left ear hurts, only the left side of my throat hurts. I also have been dealing with double vision issues for years, and a recent CT scan showed inflammation of the muscles in my left eye. Could all of this be related to the virus that causes fever blisters since it’s all only on the one side of my face that I had the blister? If it is viral, how can I get rid of the virus for good? I am willing to try anything!

 

Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral- thank you so much for your open source naturopathy podcast! I have lipedema, and while research on the condition is slim, it is being suggested that women with lipedema can try taking 600-1200mg guaifenisin (more commonly known as Mucinex) two times per day because it apparaently helps to break down of the adipose tissue associated with lipedema, which is otherwise diet and exercise resistent. I take no other medications, but I started taking 600mg twice per day because the double dose made me dizzy. I am wary of taking a pharmaceutical drug that has side effects including kidney stones. Can you provide any information on the mechanism in which a mucus thinning medication would break down stubborn fat?

 

Shelly: Helllo. Wanted to ask about deficiencies in sex hormones and poor gut health. I lost my period when put on birth control (BC) at age 17 and it doesn’t come back unless on BC but I stopped BC over 6 years ago. My estrogen and progesterone has been super low and I have had lots of stomach issues like bloating and constipation along with weight gain. Every time I seem to resolve my gut it always comes back. No one has told me that I need to fix my hormones first. I’m now on BHRT and feel better with more energy and hoping with balanced hormones my gut will start to repair itself.

 

Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for being my #1 reference with all things holistic & natural health. I listen every day & was able to uncover underlying health dis-eases stemming from your teachings on this podcast! :) What are your thoughts on meridian testing? What about German New Medicine? Do you believe either have validity ? I've been working with a consultant for 2 months but don't feel a difference yet. Thank you in advance.
