The Cabral Concept

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:

Mike: Hi, Dr Cabral can mold toxicity cause Pre-diabetes or type two diabetes?

Lorena: Is it true that salt increases cellulite due to water retention? I'm referring to good quality salt such as himalayan and Celtic salt but people tend to say that I go a little overboard with it in my meals haha! I've been noticing some cellulite indeed and I eat very clean mostly plant-based foods and exercise daily. I also do daily Ayurvedic self massages and have done a few of your functional medicine detoxes. Any advice?

Maria: Hello! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and new year :)I would like to ask for your opinion on 'Getiana Lutea root' and 'Zingiber Officinale root' as a digestive support supplement. This was recommended by my naturopath but have never heard you speak of these before. I was told one must be careful with taking digestive enzymes with Sibo and that these would be safe to use. Thank you so very much. Maria

Maria: Hi again, I also have a one other questions. I purchased an organic toothpaste and realised it contains 'organic ethanol'. Would this be okay in toothpaste? It is the second ingredient after Aloe Vera so I am assuming there is a decent quantity of it inside. Appreciate your help!!

Adonis: Hi Dr. Cabral, what binders can someone take for Chaetomium? It was really high on my Mycotox test. It was 108 when it should be less then 10. I really can't find information on this type of mold and how to get it out of my system.

Dan: Dear Dr Cabral, long term listener and big fan reporting in. My girlfriend is having issues losing weight. She was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance and has recently been having panic attacks and depression. She also has persistently high CRP, around 10. She turned pescatarian a few years back and has started to exercise more but she is still finding it difficult to lose weight. I suspect she has raised cortisol levels and a hormonal imbalance which are likely contributing to her inflammation and poor metabolism. Her thyroid levels were normal, around 1.5 TSH. Have you any advice where to start, do you think your fatlossity plan will work with these root conditions or do you think there needs to be some preparatory work to see the maximum results? From your number 1 fan Dan.

Lauren: Can you do a review on Baruka nuts? I'm also interested in your thoughts on their trail mix which has a mix of the fruit and nuts.

Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!

There's an old tired cliche that goes like this, "The only way you can fail, is if you give up..."

Although, I'm not a big fan of cliches there is a certain truth to this saying. However, the truth lies more in the fact that there are only so many variables and possibilities you can try before becoming successful and reaching your goal.

The issue is that most people go about trying to achieve their goals and dreams all wrong... In today's Cabral Concept podcast I explain what the right ways are to make success inevitable and finally come out on top!

Don't miss today's show on why you will be successful!

Although I don't like the term "biohacking" I do believe in maximizing return with the smallest and easiest investments possible… And when it comes to your health there are very few biohacks that improve health and increase longevity more than including a few specific plant compounds into your daily diet… For all the benefits, protocols, and the exact 6 plant-based flavonoids that extend life tune in to today's #CabralConcept 1831 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

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!

Cindy: I am recovering from covid . It's been about 6 wks. I am have lingering respiratory issues. Trouble getting my energy back. Would you have any suggestions . I take vit D zincImmune boosters. Protein shakes. I've read that Covid can leave information in the body what's your thoughts?

Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral. For the past month or two, I have been occasionally tasting a strange taste in my mouth. The best way I can describe it is almost like baking soda. It's not overwhelming and it comes and goes. Water could taste strange but everything else tastes normal. I take some daily supplements (magnesium glycinate, mega food blood builder, evening primrose, vitamin d, and a vegan omega 3). I am a 38 yo plant based vegan who works out 4 days a week. I haven't had Bloodwork done in over a year but last work up showed low iron and d. I do suffer from health anxiety so something like this could cause me into a spiral of self diagnosis. Any insight would be so appreciated!

Jenna: I have had a swollen or shotty lymph node on the side of my neck since I was a child (so about the last 20 years). I developed another one on my neck about 4 years ago that also hasn't gone back to its normal size. I can feel them under my finger and they move around if I push on them. My PCP says this is completely normal & nothing to worry about. Can you tell me why a lymph node would stay enlarged like this for 20 years? Is there anything specific I should be doing to get this to go away or do you think it's permanent?

Meghan: Hi Dr Cabral, I have tried searching but couldn't find any shows previously on this topic, I have a friend who when he drinks too much he gets a severe skin rash on his face, throat and then body and becomes quite unwell. It seems to be exasperated with wines/champagne. Do you think it is likely that it is a preservative in alcohol that causes this and is it an indication of something else going on in the body or just an allergic reaction to this preservative? Is there anything he can do to minimize the reaction if he does want to drink at social events? Many thanks

Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, My 14 month old (who is here today thanks to your protocols!!) is having a hard time since starting day care. He is suffering with respiratory issues including multiple bouts of tonsillitis which were really severe we (much to my heartache) had to put him on antibiotics twice to get him better but obviously you know first hand the impacts of antibiotics in the longer term and on gut health. I currently have him on your children's immune protocol at a reduced dosage as per his body weight (20 pounds), investigating mould in our house, removed gluten & dairy, have him on a probiotic and omega 3, I had tried to book in to see one of your health coaches for an immunity call but they said they weren't able to assist because of his age. I understand and respect you cannot give recommendations specifically over a podcast but I don't want to just wait until next time and face antibiotics again so my question is if this was one of your girls what would you do to support them to get to the root of why its happening while he is so little and in the mean time treat it naturally if it reappears? Is there a throat spray/protocol for a child this young? I would really love some support and don't know where to turn. Thank you so much in advance would love to hear your thoughts.

Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you have done a tongue analysis episode but It wasn't quite enough information for what I was looking for. I have scalloping of the tongue and little blister like bubbles at the back of my tongue. From what I can understand the scalloping represents malabsorption, I am currently taking a digestive enzyme with my meals and taking a Healthy Gut Support substitute and probiotic. What else can I do to help support my body? In regards to the little blisters i think that represents the intestines, I did do the intestinal cleanse protocol which well and truly cleaned me out but the bumps are still there and wondering what else I can do because my body is obviously inflamed and showing this through my tongue. Thanks so much

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:

Shelly: Hello, Dr. Cabral Thank you for all you are doing In your journey of health and wellness. I have a long history of asthma and allergies as child, fibromyalgia and central sensitization as adult. This past year Having food reactions that cause tingling in arms, legs, metallic taste in mouth, Ibs, stomach pain, brain fog and fatigue. It's been long road but long story short In My labs show glutathione is low and Oxalate is high. I'm not sure if low glutathione is because of Oxalate toxicity and I'm having crazy food And environmental reactions because glutathione is low and I can't get rid of toxins from food? Is the gut primary problem? Difficult to figure out root cause.

Trina: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I just wanted to say thank you for going above and beyond with your team to help our community, it is very much appreciated! My question is about cultivated food, mainly meat from the stem cells of animals. I was wondering what you thought about it's potential safety, health benefits, and whether you agree with those in the industry that it could be a way of providing sustainable food as well as helping the environment.ThanksTrina

Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so much for all that you do for all of us. I look forward to listening to your podcast every day. It is my understanding that you can only absorb 3 supplements at one time. I like to take my supplements with breakfast. I often add in powdered forms of collagen, mushrooms, barley grass, acerola, etc. My question is are the powders considered food or supplements. I'm not sure if I'm overwhelming my system if I take a couple powders with 3 supplements (pills). My second question is - do you have any experience with Asea and Renu28? The people that sell it claim it "cures" just about everything from seizures to blindness, but it all just sounds too good to be true. Thank you again!

Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral!! In the future, I may be mandated to take the new vaccine at my work. What can I do before and after to keep me safe!!!! Love all you do!!!!

Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm a big fan and can't stop recommending your podcast to EVERYONE. My friend is really suffering with eye inflammation and is currently on a 6 week course of steroid type eye drops. Are there any natural remedies that could help to reduce the eye inflammation? She is very worried and feels vulnerable when she has issues with her sight which seems to be quite often. Thank you so much and Happy new year!

Joe: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've been a huge fan of you since finding your podcast a year ago. You've been a lifesaver in my household. I was curious if you've read the recent studies showing that LED lighting damages the retina. I know that past studies showed that LED light disrupts sleep and the circadian rhythm, but my wife has macular degeneration and we are extra worried with these new findings because we live in California, and our state has forced out incandescent bulbs completely. Companies out of state are also not allowed to ship these bulbs to California anymore. I'm sure I can find a way to get bulbs if I visit another state, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new research if perhaps you decide to review it on one of your Friday episodes. Thank you for everything you do - we are so grateful for you! -Joe

Mo: Hi Dr Cabral, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year (assuming you get this in January). I was wondering if you had heard of the Niacin Flush Sauna Protocol? I found some research on it where it was a 30 day sauna protocol with Niacin and the dosage would increase from 500mg to 5000mg by the 30th day. I started it a few days ago and literally after the first session I noticed a red bump on my arm popped out and I think its just the toxins being pushed out. Another thing I wanted to see if you had any insight on would be dandruff from this protocol. I noticed the day after my scalp got really itchy and dry and its getting worse and worse. I put sesame seed oil for now but I wanted to see if these were related. Looking forward to your insight.Thanks again as always, wishing you and your family the happiest healthiest safest holiday season and new year to come. 2020 has been an amazing year and you were a big part of it for me and my family! Regards, Mo
