The Cabral Concept

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…

Let's get started!

MacKenzie: I don't have a lot of money but am trying to eliminate toxins from my life. Other than food and skincare/ makeup what are the most important things? It gets hard to afford EMF blockers, organic sheets, mattress, etc. it starts to add up.

Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral. I wanted to ask about yellow palms. I have had very yellow tinged hands for many years and have researched many different potential causes such as Carotenaemia or Jaundice. I do consume a lot of orange vegetables in my diet but am unsure if this is really the answer. I just wanted to get your perspective on what could cause the yellowness and if there is something more serious going on to look out for? Thank you very much

Kenzie: Do I need to worry about reinfecting myself with h pylori by kissing my boyfriend during treatment ?

Rita: Hi, During the Detox, can I increase fluid intake, as per my weight? or just stick to the 20oz as you suggest? Can a diabetic do this? Thanks

Meghan: Hey Dr C! Thanks for everything you do! I am Currently pregnant with my second baby and My first suffered from quite a bit of silent reflux and was quite fussy and a terrible sleeper. I am Wondering what I can do during my pregnancy to reduce the chances of this next baby having reflux? I believe you have previously mentioned a strain of probiotic which I think was reuteri To help with reflux? If so I see this is in the daily probiotic support by Equi Life would this be enough to help if taken through out pregnancy and breast feeding? Can you share some tips on what I can proactively do to help give me the best shot at having a healthy and reflux free baby please? Thanks so much In advance

Pedro: Hi Dr Cabral! First and foremost, thank you very much for dedicating so much of your time to help people all around the world. I know you probably get a lot of these messages so you might be used to it but truly take a moment to acknowledge yourself! You've changed lives! Anyways, my question is regarding dairy. I know that you prefer organic raw milk but you're still not a huge fan of it given the size of the protein. How come in Ayurveda they had so much dairy? I know that in their times it would have been raw but isn't it still inflammatory?

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:

Andres: Hi I have a benign brain tumor located neear the small brain and vision nerve. Doctors country remove it. Is it possible to not make it grow? Or completely vanish it ?Kind regards, Andres

Anabel: Hello, I hope you're well. My name is Anabel, I'm 26 and I've been officially diagnosed with POTS for about a year and a half now. I was a very healthy child growing up but when I was 14, I received the HPV vaccine and my body has never been the same. When I was 24, I became increasingly more fatigued, I felt my heart was going to come out of my chest and caffeine and alcohol made me land in the ER with a resting heart rate of 180bpm. I'd like to know how to get rid of POTS once and for all. I'd just like to go hiking and dancing with out feeling like I'm going to pass out and I'd like to stop feeling like a burden and nuisance. I've tried everything and nothing seems to help.

Jess: I struggle with having a bad gag reflex, which has affected my life in numerous ways such as taking pills, getting x rays at the dentist, and also getting a Strep test has always been absolutely impossible for me. I can't even tongue scrape because I immediately gag when the scraper goes towards the back half of my tongue. I also want to be able to take all the supplements I'd like, but I can only deal with so many pills in one day because of this. I'm just curious if you have any thoughts as to why someone's reflex may be more sensitive than others.

Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I'm someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven't yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms - neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I've had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite.

Victoria: Hey Cabral, I've been thinking of doing a gallbladder cleanse as I've been experiencing pain on my right side that radiates to my back. I've read that could be gallstones. I've done one of the gallbladder flushes before and had about 120+ stones come out. The problem is I've been reading that these may not be gallstones and may just be the olive oil and lemon combination instead. Have you read research on this? And do you believe that they are gallstones?

Megan:Hey Dr Cabral, thanks so much for your wealth of information. As a certified health coach for 7 years, you've helped me expand my knowledge and I'm now taking the IHP level 1 course to dive deeper. Love learning it all! Was curious if you could touch of fulvic and humic acid. I searched the podcast to only see 1 show. I've been hearing of them lots lately with regards to their anti-viral activity, nutrient uptake and microbiome boosting ability. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks again for all you do! Megan

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…

Let's get started!

Maria: Forever grateful for your knowledge ! I recently heard that baking potato (starchy foods) causes the formation of a harmful substance' acrylamide', which can be carcinogenic. Apparently it is from the chemical reaction of certain sugars and the amino acid asparagine from high temp cooking. Furthermore, if you eat Baked potato it is recommended to not eat the skin, or just better to steam or boil. I've never heard of this before so was wondering of if you have ! Thank you

Simon: Hi Dr Cabral! You've mentioned many times that fruit does not digest well with other food groups; but that it can be the best way to get carbs after a workout. Is it ok to combine whole fruit (I don't have the opportunity to blend) with my post workout shake (plain WPI, BCAAs and 14oz water)? I assume as the shake is dissolved the typical food combining rules don't apply? I also wonder if it is ok to consume fruit with that much water? As an asside, would you recommend any particular common fruit over others post workout if my goals are muscle gain and recovery? Thanks so much!

Meredith: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all your help and support! I listen to your podcast religiously. I need help with the quarantine 10. I gained this weight last year during the stress of the pandemic. I cannot get it off no matter what I try- I have done two of your detox's, the CBO protocol, a mold protocol, the finisher, and intestinal cleanse. I have tried exercise and eating habits that always worked for me in the past, and nothing works. I even have worked with a hormone doctor who has me on natural thyroid, progesterone, and testosterone. I may have slight insulin resistance as well. Any advice on where to go next is greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral- absolutely love the podcast and I've learned so much from you already. I'm writing in about my mom (63 years old) - starting about 3 years ago, she started slurring her words and it's gotten increasingly worse ever since. She takes medication for her thyroid (hypo) and blood pressure and also has type 2 diabetes. We're unable to trace it to anything specific and her doctor doesn't seem to care or ask questions. Is it possible that it's a side effect of the medication or could it be something more serious (stroke?). I tried researching on my own since I'm not able to go to doctors appointments with her and I wasn't able to find anything helpful. Looking for advice on what sort of underlying root cause imbalance would lead to consistent slurred speech. Thank you!

Simon: Hi again Dr Cabral, I have a very different question this time. Our healthy six month old has been suffering recently with very bad eczema. I have struggled to isolate a cause given he is 100% breastfed, natural water birth and no antibiotics, occasional natural soap in bath. I did have some eczema though when I was young. We have been using mineral oil (which I understand isn't great) for fear that natural food oils may cause future allergies in a baby, and last time he got so bad we used steroid cream. I feel stuck as most natural treatments seem either inappropriate for a baby (with ingredients I worry may be too harsh for his skin); and the ways of isolating the cause (food, gut permeability, stress) don't seem applicable to a breastfed baby. Can you please provide any thoughts on how we can address the underlying cause of this issue and treat the next flare up if we need to? Would probiotics be advisable in a 6 month old? Thank you so much!

Pia: Dear Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for everything you are doing for the health and wellness of the world. I just did a detox, I am on my first month of the CBO protocol and will do an intestinal cleanse as well as the heavy metal detox and the CBO finisher. A big thanks to your team as well for getting me on the right path after breastfeeding for 20 months and being depleted. First question: my partner and I would like to start trying for a second baby as quickly as possible - is this already possible during the CBO finisher? Second question: before falling pregnant again I would like to get some dental work done, which is not necessary from a medicine standpoint but from a visual standpoint and it's very important to me. It would include pulling 4 healthy teeth (to create more space in my mouth) and therefore undergoing surgery. Is there an ideal timeframe during all my protocols to undergo this procedere? And how can I support my teeth and bones to heal and restore after the surgery? All the best from Germany! By the way: yesterday I finally started my IHP certification and cannot wait to change the view of health care together with you and all other IHPs. Pia

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:

Hunter: Hi Doc l!! I've been following you for over two years now (starting with the Cabral detox) and I'm grateful for the knowledge and products you and your team provides. My question: I was diagnosed with vasodilation or vasomotor in 2017. I'm 42 male year old but it really started about 2005. I used to drink a considerable amount of alcohol then, but I've made a huge lifestyle since. Blood pressure is always good, I eat 80% healthy and alcohol is close to none now. My ears are always red and sometimes out of nowhere one ear in one spot will get red and hot and then it spreads to the rest of the ear. If I rub them that could also trigger it. A decade ago is when the redness showed up more on my face, especially if I have a little anxiety. Face and ears are flushed, blood feels like it's boiling, hands, arms and upper body also. I'm always warm. If I work out in the morning I'll get flushed but my ears won't stay hot after, just red and then they cool down, but in the evening when I workout that's when they stay red. In the summer I have to have the air on in my car because the heat is ten times worse for me. My chiropractor says it could be hormonal, or is it in the gut, or nervous system? I trust your knowledge, any help with this is appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work.

Analise: Hi Dr. Cabral! I know you've spoken numerous times in regards to hormonal acne, but I wanted to write in for help with possibly identifying my underlying cause, or at least pointing me in the right direction. I have suffered from hormonal cystic acne since the age of 12, I only break out on my cheeks, but primarily on MY left cheek. I currently am on spironolactone 100mg and birth control to help control it but still have breakthrough acne. A couple of years ago I got off my medications and started breaking out severely underneath my jawline and then on my cheeks. I waited for a year to see if it would clear up and it didn't. I plan to get off my medications again at the end of this year and would like to help treat the underlying cause now. Some other symptoms I have that could be related is constant bloating from the time I wake up, I also have a layer of white on my tongue that I have to continuously scrape off and am unsure what that is all about. I do have a gluten, egg, dairy, and almond sensitivity. Otherwise, my labs are all within range with the exception of my T3 uptake being 21.00 (below low normal). My skin was best when I was vegan, but felt I was nutrient deficient and living with brain fog. How can I treat the underlying cause of my acne? Thank you for all you do!

Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral! This may be out of your scope of practice but I was wondering if you have any advice for Bicuspid Aortic Valve. I am 30 and had my heart checked out due to anxiety and they found that two of the valves of my aorta are fused together from birth. This is causing leakage because the valve can't close all the way as well as stress to my aorta. I'm so grateful I got checked out because I guess only 1% of the population has this and it isn't something you feel unless it gets really bad. Any advice on how to keep the leakage to a minimum and limit the aorta from getting any larger? Any supplements or foods that would be great or even things to avoid? Thank you for your time!

Fred: Hello Dr. Cabral! I just listened to your Friday review about wireless headphones, which scared me because I have a wireless hearing device in both my ears all day. My audiologist says that the technology of wireless hearing devices is the "new trend" and that all hearing aids are now being made this way, so I'm having a hard time finding ones that are not wireless. But I've been worried about the exact thing you talked about - could my wireless hearing device be harmful to my brain? It's frustrating that so many doctors don't care or know the science of EMFs and it's even more scary that this huge industry is subjecting people to something which may take decades before they see the link to diseases. I don't want my hearing aid to be the next cigarette smoking health risk! I'd love to know your suggestion on what I should do regarding hearing devices. Thank you!

Kristen: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all of your knowledge. I am 28yo and have been dealing with gnawing and dull epigastric pain that causes nausea for a few years. This occurs at night, especially after a drink or two of alcohol or carbonated beverages. I used to take ibuprofen quite often for 4 years due to tension headaches but haven't taken it in 5 years. I drink 2-3 cups of coffee daily. I felt like I had every symptom of H pylori but I did your stool test and it was negative, it just showed low bacteria counts. I have been taking a probiotic daily with no help. What do you recommend I do to ease this gnawing feeling?

Lew: The results of the hair lab test I took through Equilibrium and ARL showed a high level of mercury- .324. Is that a worrisome level and if so what would you suggest I do about it? I do have numerous metal fillings that contain Mercury but would prefer a more conservative approach than removal of all tooth fillings. Thank you.
