The Cabral Concept

Have you ever experienced the thrill of starting something new, feeling like you're making significant progress, only to suddenly feel stuck or even regressing shortly after?

This is very common in all aspects of life and there is a name for it… the "Intermediate Effect."

So on today's #CabralConcept 2943, I want to go over what the intermediate effect is, how to know it's coming, and how to push past it to reach your goals. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

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…

Elise: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral, firstly - huge thanks for turning my life around with your protocols since 2018. Forever grateful. My question is, I recently saw an advertisement for a skin supplement called Activated You, and it said consuming collagen internally is basically useless, and that what we really need to consumer are other things in their skin care supplement and in particular: Lysine, L-Arginine, and L-Proline. What are your thoughts on this? Do you include these in any of your products? I take the DNS powder daily. Thanks, Elise

Javier: Good Morning Doc! Hope all is well with you , family and business! Question for you…recently I've went from sauna to 55 degree cold dip…and I've been coughing up blood… they found a small infection in my lower left lung…Antibiotics cleared it out…so a day before the follow up appt I dipped again and coughed up even more after a 30 min sauna and 50 degree dip… After several blood cultures and lung function test showed clear they decided to do a bronchoscopy which looked clear but she's waiting on results on fluid biopsy tests… My pulmonary doctor is pretty sure it's hymoptysis but wants to rule everything out… just wanted to see your thoughts on this and if you've e heard of any other cases like mines. I've done it for a year very frequently with no issues…same method…hop from sauna

Pati: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently has a transvaginal ultrasound and the findings were that everything was normal. My doctor mentioned things looked good. But on the results also found Cervix: Nabothian cyst. Have you had any experience with client who have had these before and if so are they any suggestions of how to eliminate them? Sorry if this is TMI! Thank you for all you do!

Paty: Hello Dr Cabral,I have questions about my son's health.Vegetarian,10 yrs old,he doesn't like (vegetables,fruits,eggs,milk,smoothies) but he loves cheese so he will only eat salads with cheese and dressing and he likes sweets.His hands gets so dry and itchy,Dr said eczema gave me a cream when it flares.Also the skin on his back is having areas of discoloration.He tends to be anxious,ocd,eye tics, nose bleeds constantly and is stuffy,ENT Dr wants to do a procedure for enlarged turbinates and cauterize but it has been done many times. His iron tends to be low.Currently he takes cod liver oil,children multivitamin with iron,folate with B12,calcium gummies with D3 and comfort shen for anxiety. What tests and protocols would you recommend for him, should he do the ENT procedure? Thanks

Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I do weekly coffee enemas, and sometimes more when I feel it's needed. Although I have seen great benefit in many ways from this schedule, I've had an IHP tell me that they can strip away too many minerals along with the toxins. I listen to several natural health practitioners I trust who do them every single day. I intend to ask them how their mineral levels are personally since every day seems excessive. Some of them will do a mineral rich implant enema of wheat grass, chlorophyll, liquid mineral supplements, potassium, or herbal blends after the coffee, and some don't do anything. I always replenish through the day by drinking electrolytes, fruit/veggie blend, bone broth, or veggie juices. What are your thoughts on any of these mineral rich implants? Thanks!

Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!

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:

Melissa: I've had 6 CTs in my life (abdomen at age 23; neck, abdomen, and head at age 30; and spine and head at age 36). I calculated my total additional cancer risk based on some research and calculators to be somewhere between 1-2%. This feels like a huge risk to me, and I'm terrified that it's one I cannot do anything about, as I understand it's just chance that my cells may not repair themselves or die - and then that's that. How risky is it really to have this many CTs already, and what can I actually do (if anything) to prevent radiation-induced cancer down the road? How much control do we really have in cancer prevention (of any cancer type) from this source? Thanks so much!

Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - You've helped me so much. My question is on meditation. I am trying to work on my chronic stress and started meditation about three months ago. I don't feel any changes from it. I read a book, read articles, tried mantra meditation, tried guided meditation, tried different styles, and tried doing it on my own. I started with 15 minute meditations twice daily but after two months of not feeling anything reduced it to 10 minutes first thing in the morning. Questions since I don't feel any changes: 1- Does this mean I'm doing it wrong? 2- Even if I don't feel any different can I assume it's still making changes in my brain? 3- Are there some people who have to fix other things before they feel changes from meditation? Does meditation not help some?

Anita: Dear Dr Cabral, thank you for all of the knowledge you share with your community. I value and appreciate you. I just came across the Jay Feldman Wellness podcast. In podcast #106;he shares studies stating omega 3's lead to oxidative stress. I'm wondering if you have read the studies he refers to, and am interested in your feedback on this subject. He did not say low quality omega-3's, and he cited many studies. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Anita

Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've been doing a seasonal detox for a few years now, and I learn something new and am able to pin point new things EVERY time! The last few times I've noticed while on the detox, basically every night I have some type of histamine response during/after dinner. It doesn't happen during or after lunch, just dinner. I've used DNS daily for years so no problem there. I assume there's something in one of the detox supplements that's causing a histamine response? My ears, pointer fingers, knees, and toes all turn red hot and a little puffy/tight feeling. Thoughts? I usually just plow through and continue taking the supplements since the reaction doesn't last long. Hoping the benefits are outweighing the risks, but I'm not so sure. I always appreciate your opinion

Did you know there is no governing body when it comes to ensuring your nutritional supplements are clean and safe?

It's true, the FDA does not evaluate dietary supplements and their ingredients before they are sold.

So how do you know if what you are taking is legitimate?

There are numerous products out there that are not what they say they are, so that's why on today's #CabralConcept 2939 I want to share with you how you can spot fake or counterfeit supplements. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

Ever feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed?

I don't believe in quick fixes, but I do believe that sometimes we need some help as fast as possible to get us back on track.

Supplementation can be very helpful for people who need a starting place to begin to get themselves balanced and provide their bodies with vital nutrients they need so they can start making changes in other areas of their life.

So on today's #CabralConcept 2938, I want to share with you just one thing you can add to your life that is the simplest way to reduce stress & cortisol (backed by 9 research studies). Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

Countless individuals struggle with falling asleep or staying asleep, and if you're among them it's no wonder you might be feeling tired throughout the day…

But what if you are getting a solid 7-8 hours of sleep per night and still feel exhausted?

What does that mean and how could that possibly be?

On today's #CabralConcept 2937, I want to go over the signs that you are tired and might need sleep, but I also want to share with you what your body might be telling you even if you are getting enough sleep. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

I have worked with a lot of high-performing individuals over the years, and the majority of them have the same traits in common.

One crucial aspect of their success is believing that they will win before ever achieving that victory.

Winners approach life, their goals, and actions with a unique perspective, and they focus on not just the end goal but also the daily process of doing whatever it takes to be a winner.

So on today's #CabralConcept 2936, I want to share with you the proven process used by high-achievers that you can use to elevate any part of your life. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

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…

Melissa: I have been told that vitamin d from cholecalciferol is toxic and a possible carcinogen. That it can also be bad for cholesterol and other things. Can you elaborate on this? I can only use vegan supplements due to a mammal allergy (Alpha-Gal) and, the vitamin d I use is made from this. Am I using this when I should not be?

Rhonda: Hey, Doc! I'm a big fan of your show and relatively new to living a more holistic lifestyle. Your show has been an amazing resource for me. We moved recently and our new yard has several patches of poison ivy. I am extremely sensitive to the oil. One small point of contact and I swear the ivy rash is all over my body in the blink of an eye. What do you recommend to treat the rash? And what do you think would be the safest method for eliminating any growth around the yard? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Deanna: Dr.Cabral, Thanks for sharing your knowledge everyday with your podcasts and more! At the time of writing this my son is a little over one year. He suffers from severe food allergies to peanut, tree nut, sesame, and egg. We're going to start an oral immune therapy this spring to hopefully overcome these. I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to help my son have the best outcome. Are there any tests you recommend, and how young can we start testing and treatments? For background, my son was breastfed for four months and born vaginally. Thank you again!

Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been researching this for a bit and can't find a clear answer to this question. I heard you say on a podcast that we shouldn't take Betaine HCL if we have H Pylori and I am trying to figure out why. If someone has H pylori and low stomach acid but no ulcers or reflux, what would be contra-indicative in taking Betaine HCL? I know h. pylori doesn't like an environment too acidic and secretes substances to raise the PH in the stomach, wouldn't it help to counteract this action? Thank you

Cassandra: Hello Dr. Cabral! Back in 2021, you did a product review on methylene blue. Do you still take? Would you be willing to do a full case study podcast on its benefits and risks? I'm most interested in understanding the impact on the gut microbiome, healing of mitochondria (leading to increased production of ATP), and how it improves cognitive function. Also, are there any risks to daily consumption? Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

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:

Lindsey: I would love your thoughts this. I do not want to make any foods forbidden, or label good/bad, etc. I understand how that can create psychologic issues and cravings. I do want to educate about ingredients and make her aware of how food makes her feel or how it psychologically affects and fuels her body. It may nourish her body or soul. My dilemma - I have always had an issue with the "everything in moderation" theory - because I cannot get past the info I have learned about food additives, dyes, chemicals, pesticides, etc in food, drinks and water. They are actual poisons banned in other countries and when studies are actually done, some even found to be contributing factors to many diseases. How do I reconcile this where do you draw the lines without psyc damage in the real world?

Lindsey: Hello Dr Cabral - I'd love your thoughts on a discussion about cold. I know this could be several podcasts on its own, but wondering about the potential risks or benefits of cold exposure for kids specifically. We all know about cold plunges for adults and other countries that do similar things even for kids. I believe I saw an article of a kindergarten class in Norway running through the snow barefoot with barely underclothes on. What's the line of this being good for the bodily systems vs. the traditional wisdom of keeping a chill off the neck/lymph for fear of getting sick? Then we could get into the validity of germ theory if you wanted to tackle that? Thank you for your insights.

Julie: Hello! When doing the 21 day detox. Is coffee allowed in the morning? If so what are the parameters? Such as should I wait to have coffee until I've had the shake or can coffee be 1st? I'm wondering about a cortisol spike. Any info you have in regards to this topic would be appreciated, Thank you!

Pete: Thank you soo much for all you and your team do, I really appreciate everything you do and I have learnt so much and feel like a better human for it I recently had a health issue that resulted in 'blood poisoning' Long story short the doctors have put me on intravenous antibiotics for 4weeks Q- Does intravenous antibiotics effect the gut microbiome the same as oral antibiotics?? Thanks again love your work/ passion

Danielle: How can I be sure that my health data won't be sold to a third party?
