1569: Vinegar on CBO, Rheumatic Fever, High Oxalates, Clean Toothpaste, Standard Process, Mangosteen Powder, Onychomycosis (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:  Donna: Hello Dr. Cabral Team,I just had a consultation call with Erica and already sent an email of questions; I didn't want to over do it but I have just a few more. I'm about to start the CBO protocol and wanted to know if it is allowed to wash my greens in vinegar water if rinsed well? Also, is it okay to add pure cocoa powder to the morning nutritional support shake during the protocol?Respectfully, Donna C Monique: Hello, when I was 16, I was diagnosed with rheumatic fever- which enlarged my heart. However, my heart eventually went back to size. Fast forward to my early 30's where I was diagnosed with RA. I tried a lot of natural remedies including raw vegan but eventually it got so bad that I was hospitalized. Therefore, I saw a conventional doctor and have been on traditional RA meds since. Fast forward again to my 40s, a little after a year of having my first child, I was diagnosed with PH/PAH. I was told I have a lot of connective tissue that leans heavily on RA but I do have the RNP gene that connects Lupus to PH. With PH - in addition to pills, I have an IV drug that pumps into my heart 24/7. My question is, considering PH is a terminal condition that "doesn't have a cure" and it only affects 10% of people in the world, how can your program assist me?Thank you! Leah: I am a student of the IHP course. I am nearly done with level 1 and looking forward to level 2! I am a 42 yo mother of six with a history of EBV and early Hashimotos, which I healed through functional medicine testing and protocols. I continue to make gains in rebalancing my body one step at a time. My question for today (although I have so many!) is about oxalates. How do you manage high oxalate levels? Both my son and I have high oxalates as shown on our OATs. Are green supplement drinks a contributor to high oxalates levels, such as the fruit and vegetable blend or others? (I have used Newsun green drink in the past before I knew about Equilibrium Nutrition). Another son (17 yo), who has not had an OATs yet, and has small amounts of blood in the urine with no protein or other imbalances detected. Would the fruit and vegetable blend be ok for his kidneys, even if his oxalates are high? I have been told to compensate for high oxalate levels by avoiding high oxalate foods or to take calcium citrate when eating these foods, but I would rather rebalance without limiting so many foods or trying to sneak calcium citrate into everyone’s food who won’t swallow capsules, especially for an indefinite length of time. What can I do to improve the body’s ability to handle oxalates and in general lessen the stress on the kidneys? Bettina: Dear Stephen Cabral Thank you once again for great podcasts, love them :-)I just heard an old podcast of your (540), and you mention toothpaste and mouthwash.I was wondering if you have tried toothpowder from Primal Life Organics. If not, I hope that you will try it and give your opinion on it sometime in the future :-) Another brand for Oral care is Living Libations I would love to hear your opinion on these products as well. I thank you so much in advance :-)Best regards,Bettina Lynn: I work with people that will only use Standard Process supplements. How does the DNS and Standard Process compare? The argument is that Standard Process is food and you are not taking anything extra that you may not need. Thanks Paula: What are your thoughts on mangosteen powder? I’ve heard it’s an amazing superfood with numerous benefits! Michael: I definitely have onychomycosis and maybe even some slight tinea cruris, most likely from getting dressed from my infected nails. Could you please direct me where to regain my health? Much Thanks.
