3005: Itchy Throat & Avocados, Toxic Shock Syndrome, Factor V, Flu-Like Symptoms, Selenium Side Effects (HouseCall‪)‬ The Cabral Concept

    • Alternative Health

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…
 
Roman: Howdy Dr. Cabral! When I eat avocados, I get an itchy throat. I typically just eat half an avocado. Is this an avocado allergy? I remember experiencing something similar after eating bananas, this hasn't happened in a long time though. Do I keep eating avocados? I mainly eat them because of all their health benefits and because they are delicious. What else might this reaction in my throat tell me? Thank you!
 
Heather: Hi there! Thanks as always for taking the time to answer our questions! Can you tell me a little bit about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)? I searched the podcast archives and couldn't find any episodes on the topic. My cousin got it from using tampons and I was wondering what could be done naturally for TSS and if she could use non-toxic tampons in the future. Thanks again!
 
Jaclyn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm an IHP & am so fortunate to have been taught by you. I love being able to share your podcasts/knowledge with friends family & clients, you have really changed my life in so many ways. Thank you! Personally, I wanted to write in & ask if you have any feedback regarding FACTOR V. I was diagnosed after my Mom's diagnosis (she had pulmonary embolisms after a long elective surgery) but she went two pregnancies, c-sections and other surgeries without knowing until this happened in her 50's. Now I am family planning & my OBGYN said i will need to take a baby aspirin daily while pregnant or heprin injections. This is very scary to me considering I do not take any medications, any information on this condition and especially alternative supplements would be greatly appreciated!
 
Anonymous: Hi, dr. C I had the flu in January and I was feeling run down for 3 weeks later still (I have fibromyalgia so everything seems to last longer for me, is it to do with mitochondria and ATP?), last 3 months I also have tinnitus & it's getting worse, can you help me with that, please? Now I had flu-like symptoms again for 1 day and sore throat & coughing up mucus for a week. Yesterday I went to sleep earlier because my body just felt so tired & I slept for almost 12h! Oura says it was 11h 48min & although there's 3h 18min of REM, there's only 1h 36min of deep sleep & a lot of it at the end, so if I slept a normal 8h, it would be much less. Usually I almost never get 90min of deep sleep. Why am I getting so little deep sleep & how to make it better? Thank you for your help
 
Marica: Hello Dr Cabral, Could you talk a little about selenium supplementation and its possible side effects? I was about to start taking some selenium supplements to help with my TED and I just read somewhere that it can cause skin cancer. Thanks so much!
