    3712: "Crunchy" Feeling on Face, Essiac Tea & Soursop, Blood in Urine, Surgery & Erectile Dysfunction, Detox & Binging (HouseCall)

    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…   Sarah: Hey doc! Ive been regularly gua sha'ing my face and I noticed that my face feels 'crunchy' especially at my jawline and at my lymph nodes by my ear. It doesnt seem to be improving despite regular use, is this normal or anything to be concerned? I feel it more in my left side which I seem to get more breakouts on my cheek/jawline/neck. Thank you!      Margie: I just read all your cancer information because of a recent diagnosis. I have a Naturopathic doctor in addition to conventional oncologist. I'm curious your take on Esaic tea and or soursop? I told not to take it during treatment because it's a detox and we want the targeted chemo and immunotherapy to work… this is from my ND, however, research on both suggest otherwise. I'm very curious your thoughts. Thank you!      Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I recently run by blood work and urine test. I have pretty good results from my blood work (except high cholesterol) but I am concern about results from my urine test. It shows I have trace amount of blood in my urine and also albumin in my urine was detected (slightly above the optimal cut-off) My urine albumin is 0.3 mg/dL What can I do about this? Does that indicate early kidney damage? (BTW test was done on day 16th of my cycle) Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate all you do.      Tyler: I'm a 37 year old male and I was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumor in my hypothalamus in December 2022. It was a benign tumor the size of a large egg, and I had a 15 hour surgery to remove 90% of it. 3 years later, I still have erectile dysfunction and low libido. Why is that and what can I do to fix it? I'm on Clomid for my testosterone, which is now around 500. I was on testosterone gel for a couple months but quit because of sperm impact. I test my sodium level every other week because it was low at times after my surgeries. I have a programmable shunt to help drain CSF. I don't have morning erections. Could this be from damage during the brain surgeries? Is it hormonal-related even though I'm on Clomid? Is it psychological? Please help. I listen to your podcast daily.     Trish: Hi Dr C. - hoping to get some advice on your 7-day detox. I'm in my 50's and most of my life my weight has gone up and down by 30lbs. I have a problem with binging. As I've gotten older, I've learned how to control it and my triggers. I've tried the detox 3 times and I have found that it causes me to binge. Becoming too strict it throws me for a loop. I don't do the two fasting days. I fast 20 hours. I avoid all the inflammatory foods gluten, dairy, corns, eggs & nuts as I do this on a daily basis so that isn't hard for me. Giving up berries/fruit in my smoothie & some quinoa or brown rice is what starts to create me wanting to binge. I usually eat 1 sq a day 90% cacao choc too. Any advice on making the detox beneficial without following the guidelines 100%? Hope this makes sense    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3712 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

    3711: Overweight vs. BMI, Garlic Benefits, Mycobacterium Avium Complex, Using Metavolve & GLP-Tone Long Term, Walking & Swelling Hands (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:    Darem: Hey, Dr Cabral. I recently did a health assessment where everything went well except my practioner telling me I'm overweight according to BMI which was 26.0. She then went off textbookedly (sic) saying to exercise more, eat more fruits & veggies etc. I already do all that for years. I'm 5'6, 161lbs, lean, muscular, 6 pack abs. Around 10% BF. How can I still be overweight      Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about garlic. In a recent podcast you talked about the many benefits of garlic and of consuming at least a clove a day. Do we get the same great benefits of garlic (including cancer prevention) if it is cooked, roasted, baked as part of a recipe, etc., or does it need to be raw? (I know you talked about smashing it and letting it sit for 5 minutes.) Thank you!      Julie: Hi Dr. Cabral, My daughter (age 3 at the time) was diagnosed with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC). It took awhile to properly diagnose and be treated since it is so rare in children. She was put on multiple medications including antibiotics for about 2 years (ethambutol, rifampin & azithromycin). She is now 9 and doing great, but we recently noticed symptoms of Raynaud's Syndrome. While I am waiting for an endocrinologist appointment I was hoping to see if you had any insight as to what would put her in a compromised state to begin with to be able to contract MAC. And now should I be testing and treating her with protocols to make sure her rain barrel isn't overfilling and if so what do you suggest at this young age?      Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - hope you and the family are doing well! I have a quick question regarding the GLP Tone and Metavolve systems. I've done both and love them both! I am currently on Metavolve and have been for the last few months. I don't follow the diet plan it comes with strictly, but I do follow your baseline of a Mediterranean diet. I feel really good and am losing weight just more slowly. I'm 56 post-menopausal and am healing on the inside out. My question is can both of these systems be used long term? Are they safe to do so and when I do transition off of Metavolve do I need to do it slowly? Thank you for creating such amazing supplements to assist us in this life long journey of health!      Bob: Hello dr Cabral I wanted to ask for your thoughts on what might cause and what to do with this issue. I normally walk about 10k steps a day and either at mornings or nights have a longer walk about 5 to 6000 and make up the remaining steps throughout the day. But when taking the longer walk I have notice it seems my hands start to swell while walking. I have even noticed it in my wrist as my watch band gets very tight. I don't pump my arms very much when walking and feels harder to make a fist when this happens. Any advise on this for me. It does seem to go back to normal after stopping in few hours      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!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3711 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

    3705: Toxins on Toilet Paper, Milling Your Own Flour, Supporting Adrenals & Addison's Disease, Alcohol Intolerance, Taking Lab Tests (HouseCall)

    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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I don't believe you've talked about this before, but what are your thoughts about toxins in the regular/store brands of toilet paper? Should we be concerned about that and if so, are there any brands that you personally recommend or buy for your family? Thank you!      Emily: Hello Dr Cabral, I love your podcast and listen to you weekly! I wanted to ask your thoughts on milling your own flour, to make your own bread. You do not have to convince me to not touch the commercial bread in the US, and right now I am just gluten free and do not eat wheat now. But some health sources I follow recommend milling your own wheat to be a healthier swap. What do you think? If so, do you have a wheat company and mill company to recommend? I think my hesitation is to spend all the money and find that it still bothers my gut      Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral I just completed level 2 & will be starting level 3 soon! I am 48 years old and in the beginning of perimenopause. I have healed from Addisons disease, and I was borerline having scurvy in 2018, (which I believe I did have because I cracked 3 teeth in 2017 and needed root canals). All my numbers look good now. I had 3 incidents last year where my BP was 80/48, while dealing with stress . Is there a way a can support my adrenal glands and hormones in the perimenopause phase to keep my cortisol levels optimal so nothing triggers Addisons again? I also have MTHFR and take all the foundational supplements, plus 50mg of a progesterone troche. I am not taking anything to support my adrenals right now. Also what form of vitamin C would be best for me to incorporate? Thank you      Veronia: Hi! Not every time but most times when I drink alcohol, it feels like something is coming up in my chest, causing a "growl" noise. I have moments where my mouth will water profusely. I have to run to the bathroom almost like I have to throw up but it's just saliva I'm spitting out. I gag but never throw up. This can happen just after one drink. The next day my chest and esophagus are so sore even water is uncomfortable going down. I have maybe 4 drinks a month. I still want to be able to have a drink. Is there something I can take or do prior to having a drink to help these symptoms? To add I did the Candida, Metabolic and Vitamin test. I have an overgrowth of Arabinose, value of 45. I'm in my 2nd month of the CBO protocol. I had 1 drink as my cheat meal and had symptoms:( Thank you!      Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. Just a few clarifying questions regarding test taking. Prior to taking the Food Sensitivity test, should I eat dairy, gluten, nuts etc? I work part-time, should I take the Stress Mood test on a day that I'm working for accurate cortisol results? And lastly, will you ever offer the stool test in Canada? I tried to purchase it but wasn't able to. Looking forward to your response!
