2892: Animal Protein & Liver Health, Bromelain & Hives, Sauna & Low Sodium & Potassium, Ear Pain, Melatonin & Fasting (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:    Stefanie: I am happy to have come so far with my health journey with your help, podcast and all the information you kindly give out to us, a big thank you! I have been able to control my psoriasis and overall skin problems. I've done a few detox, and the cbo protocol which helped me tremendously but I still see some signs of liver problems. I don't eat meat for the most part, but when I do specially meat from another country I notice my one psoriasis skin spot will start to flare and I do feel somewhat my liver swollen. I have been checked out before on sonograms and liver seems to be 'healthy', although I can cut animal protein. I wanted to know what test to perform or how can I fix this once and for all? I am certain its the animal protein, as soon as I eat it I feel the flare the next day.   Sheila: Hello,I’m on week 3 of CBO protocol. I just started week 3 and I started getting hives on my legs. One ingredient is bromelain in the Candida supplement. Bromelain is a “red” on my IGg food sensitivity test. Is there another product I could use instead of this one? Please advise. Thank you for your time. Sheila   Erica: If I have a 2 high 2 low pattern on my HTMA test, would you recommend infrared sauna 4-5x a week? I have high levels of mold in my body and I’d like to start working on detoxing it out, but it seems like my sodium and potassium and both quite low and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea. With that being said, if I did sauna that much a week, how much sodium / potassium might you recommend I take daily to replenish? Thank you!   Brittany: Hi Stephen, A few months back, I had strep and simultaneously coronavirus NL63. (Yay to school germs coming home from my kindergartner) during this diagnosis I went to the hospital because not only did I have bad congestion, but my ears were in so much pain I couldn’t even try to sleep. They treated me with meds for strep and ibuprofen for ear pain. The ear pain has improved since but 3 months later my ears still hurt on a daily basis, not excruciating, but enough to bother me during the day. I went to a ENT and he said it’s my TMJ. I’ve had TMJ and never had ear pain from it, it’s interesting that my ear pain only started when I had bad congestion from strep and the virus. My hearing test came back fine. Any clue why it could be that my ears still hurt? I’m desperate for help!    Daniel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Big fan of your show and thanks for all you do. I recently ordered your melatonin, I noticed that it includes Apple Juice, Red Currant, and Stevia. As someone who intermittently fasts multiple times a week, I'm wondering if taking Equilife Melatonin is breaking my fast due to these incredients? Thanks!
