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!

Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a big fan. Thank you for all you do. My daughter is 6 and seems to find it difficult to articulate what she needs to say and even though we constantly correct her, she often pronounces words wrong. I do not see that any of her peers have the same problem. I thought giving her DHA may help, I just struggle to give it to her as she dislikes the taste, even the lemon one. I even tried to sneak it in apple juice but I got found out. What are your thoughts on DHA and would you have any other suggestions on what we could do to improve things? I really appreciate your time, thank you very much. Sarah

Cass: Hi Dr C, i cant thank you enough for all you do, teach and be......WE are all truly blessed A very deep heart felt Thank you. .....Could you please recommend what advise you would offer to a 51 year old menopausal women. No cycle for 2 years. Has had high levels of deep emotional stress for 2 years. Is coming out the other side. Thank goodness!! Suffered chronic fatigue in past from high levels of stress/loss/trauma and over training / under eating scenarios when younger. Anyway been suffering with gut issues bloating gas etc, for long time. Completed Oat / HTMA / food Sensitivity and omega 3 .....High on candida / bacteria markers / Succinic...HIgh aluminium and mercury Very High cal / mag / sodium and low potassium chromium and selenium and phosphorus and very low iron. A slow metaboliser. Completed heavy metal detox , 2 x parasite protocols (one advanced) and CBO with limited finisher as felt very bloated on the healthy gut support. Retested and candida reduced but still high bacterial markers. Also still showing parasites present. (Blastocytes and now cryptosporidium) Take FP level 3, B's, Zinc, A.soothe, Calm, Cal-Mag, Alk Vit C. Still suffers constipation, slow bowel movement, fatigue, bloated, gut better but not great, Clean diet, exercise, meditation, etc, daily.

Anonymous: I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder which I know is not your specialty but I was wondering if you had any advice on the subject. I am already working with a therapist and things like that but would like to know if you have any supplement or lifestyle recommendations that might be helpful in addition to what I'm already doing. Thank you so much.

Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've got a question about MARCoNS. I've had three positive tests in the past two years. I've tried different treatments and I haven't found something yet that has helped me eradicate it yet. I just saw a new functional medicine doctor recently about this - she suggested that I try using a nebulizer to inhale a solution of diluted hydrogen peroxide, saline and iodine - she said it can help rid the body of MRSA so it was likely to help with MARCoNS. Do you have any thoughts on this treatment she's suggesting? And...do you happen to know of something that actually works to help the body heal from this? Thank you so much for your time and care!

Marlene: Would you say that autism can be cured?

Check out today's questions:

Samantha: Hello, and thank you for all you do, I'm excited to thank you for these answers on spotify! I'm an active health concious 30 year old mother of 3. Currently on week 3 of CBO protocol after taking OAT (mild bacterial imbalances). My last 2 pregnancies I've had prematurely ruptured membranes and been on bed rest...therefore, I've been on the pill then an IUD for the last 6 years. My IUD is due to be removed in September of 2021...my 3 questions are these: -What are the top things I can do to support my body and hormones for the IUD removal? -any idea what could cause pre ruptured membranes and how I could avoid it next time? (My docs had no idea) -lastly, I also hope to go off the 50mg of sertraline I've been taking the last 3 years after the CBO finisher....how can I support my mood during that weaning process? (I've searched and listened to podcasts on these topics) Thanks in advanve!

Lexi: I have been researching on detoxing for weeks now. There is so much information on both sides. Some say yes, some say you don't need it. Much of my research has found that we don't need to detox because our organs naturally excrete our bodies of toxins. If you would please give me a non-biased explanation of detoxing, I would appreciate that. Please help me to understand why and if detoxing is truly needed or if it a fad.

Missey: Hi Dr Cabral, I've benefitted for years from your information and supplements. So thank you! I'm hoping you can help with my constant struggle with constipation. I've tried so many things such as intestinal cleanses, oxy powder, magnesium, enemas, lemon water etc. I've also removed dairy from my diet. Constipation has always been an issue, but it seems to be getting worse as I age. GI docs all day the same thing: drink water, add fiber and exercise, all of which I already do. I was wondering if you had any thoughts/advice for me and specifically what are your thoughts on Colon Hydrotherapy?

Jenna: I heard someone say that the toxins that your body sweats out during a workout are just re-absorbed back into the skin if you don't immediately shower afterward. Do you think this is true?

Bevinda: Hi Dr Cabral! I have two questions that I hope you don't mind answering: Have you ever heard of allergy to sunlight? Is it safe to take 5g of glutamine on a daily basis?

Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral, what are your thoughts on organic decaff coffee?

Although there are many different types of fasting in the world very few have been around thousands of years… However, the ones that have not only have great science behind them, but they've also stood the test of time (which may be just as important)… And one such form of fasting that I believe in is called, the Monk Fast, which is practiced in many Eastern spiritual practices each week… For all the details on how to complete this ancient Monk Fast tune into today's #CabralConcept 1881 - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

There may be multiple answers to a single problem, but only one methodology of thinking will get you to the correct answer the fastest… It's called 1st Principles Thinking. Once I discovered this method of reasoning and deduction I was able to come to the correct conclusions much faster when it came to problem solving… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1879 I'd like to share with you how 1st principles thinking works and how it changed my life - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

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!

Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been using olive oil as my main fat source for a few months now and from what I can tell it's been going great. I am a 30 year old competitive bodybuilder currently in my off season so my calories are high. I am 6' and currently weigh 230. I track my macros every day and usually end up with around 4500 calories. My fat intake is higher than most bodybuilders do which is around 150 grams a day. My carbs are usually around 450 and protein is around 275. My friend and roommate just died at 26 of what looks like a heart attack and he was a big body builder as well. This has opened my eyes a lot and I want to do things as healthy as I can. My body seems to be handling the quantity of olive oil but I just want to be sure. If I had to guess it is around 10 table spoons spread out the day. Thank you for your time and I love this podcast!

Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am writing in about my 12-year-old son who frequently gets canker sores. I have listened to some of your past podcasts regarding canker sores and am still unsure of what to do with him. His dr has had him on 30mg of zinc and b6 daily for the past couple years bc of pyrolles disorder. I also supplement him with 2000mg of d3 daily and b12 every other day. About 2x a week I have him taking 500 mg of L-lysine and he's still getting the canker sores. We did the OAT test and parasite test a year ago and everything looked good. Wondering what you would suggest trying next! Thanks

Marlene: Hey Doc! What would your recommendations be for someone with high testosterone (no PCOS)?

Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have started drinking a large glass of water with 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt as soon as I wake up in the morning however haven't been including lemon juice for a number of reasons (including logistics and not wanting to break my fast as I don't have my shake for a few hours later to meet my 13hr fast). Is is beneficial having celtic sea salt on its own or by missing the potassium in lemon juice will I be upsetting my electrolyte balance longer term?

Maegan: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do. I have learned so much and plan on continuing my education through your classes. My question is about my 7 year old son. His gastroenterologist thinks that he might have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. All I have found on this is that there is no known cause. What do you know? Are there labs that I could run for him? I can't believe it accept that there isn't a cause or some sort of treatment for it. Thank you.

Robert: Hey Dr, absolutely LOVE your work. I am trying to work on my histamine issues in various different ways. Staying away from foods high in histamines, taking my DNS, balanced zinc, Omega, vitamin D and B complex every day. I've done numerous detoxes and the CBO + the CBO finisher, etc. I've done the parasite protocol as well as the heavy metal detox. It doesn't seem like it's getting better which is very frustrating. I still react massively! I can't even have a little piece of dark chocolate or avocado without breaking out or scratching myself all night. My questions are: 1. I know you had massive histamine issues as when you were younger, how long did it take you to heal? 2. Does exercise increase histamines? Every time I workout I get more itchiness on my skin! 3. I am 23 now, when I was younger I didn't have any histamine issue whatsoever. How come I suddenly got it?

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:

Jo: Hello and thank you for all you do to promote health and wellness, your knowledge is greatly appreciated! My question is for my 15-year-old daughter, she has irregular, heavy periods, sometimes as often as every two weeks. On the day before and /or the first few days of her period she is in so much pain due to stomach aches and cramps, sometimes she feels like she is going to throw up, she has to miss school or soccer. My fear if we go to her regular doctor they will put her on birth control. I know birth control and hormones are not a good option especially because she is so young. I am looking for a healthier option because I hate to see her in pain. Thank you for your expertise!

Anneke: Hi Stephen! Hi from Australia! My question is in relation to my 8yo son. Since the age of around 3 he has had what I would have called 'reflux' but upon doing some research it seems to be more like 'GERD' but I can't be sure. He regurgitates small amounts of food about 4-5 times a day, I haven't been able to pinpoint any particular food that causes it. He says tomatoes give him a sore tummy so we avoid those but there's nothing else that stands out. Behaviourally he is my most intense child out of 3, I do wonder if this relates to these possible gut health issues. I took him to our family GP a few times about the vomiting and his answer was always 'he will grow out of it'. But being 8yo now I feel its time to really do some proper investigation and find the cause. What should I do diet-wise to try and alleviate his symptoms or what kind of testing should I be chasing? Would I seek out a naturopath, nutritionist or an integrative GP (all the integrative GPs in my area have closed their books or have year long wait lists adding to my frustration). Its getting to the point where he will vomit in class and swallow it down for fear of embarrassment. His breath smells and he's becoming self conscious about it. Any advice is hugely appreciated. Best, Anneke

Deanna: hi, Thank you for your very informative podcast! I have a question. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been getting fever blisters on a constant basis. I have not been ill other than a few mild colds, and usually only get them when I have a fever or if I am out in prolonged hot sun. Neither of those are the case for me. I have tried using lysine, which has helped in the past, but it is not helping. I am wondering if this could be a symptom of EMF exposure? It seems like one clears up, and then a few days later I have another one. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for dedicating your time to help others, greatly appreciated! Is it possible to heal hypopituitarism caused by surgery?

Ashley: I have had swollen lymph nodes in my groin area since I was a child. They're not painful or red looking but they are larger than normal and move around easily. What is causing this? How can I fix it?

Bonnie: I'm not sure I can say specific names on questions- butI just purchased a (Lucia NO3) Light source- can you tell me your intake on the light thereapy systems available- I just love it and am looking forward to using it personally and possibly sharing with friends. It is a hypnagogic light experience - it has one halogen center ring and 4 LED around it. You lay under it with your eyes closed while the light goes through a programed sequence of flickering. I personally feel bliss and sleep like a baby at night following.

Maria: Hi Dr Cabral, I was looking for a good sourdough bread, and found one made from khorasan flour. From my internet searching, it is a type of 'ancient grain wheat' also called kamut. As I have heard lots of the problems with wheat/gluten is from modern day wheat, Would this be something to give a try? forever grateful for you work!
