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…

Ryan:Is it a sign of something wrong if I'm having air bubbles arise from the toilet water after my stool drops in? I don't have any issues with bloating or passing gas in general. When I occasionally do fart, there's no foul smell. I've run the OAT which showed no elevation or issues in my microbial markers, although I'm curious if having air/gas in my stools is something I should be investigating further? I appreciate any input!
 
Sarah: I've been buying this gluten free oat milk in the UK that is organic from a brand that is known for doing everything "all natural". The ingredients in this oat milk are: Gluten free oats (14%), sunflower oil and water. I emailed them to ask whether this sunflower oil was heated and they said the following "they only use cold pressed sunflower oil in the product but that the product itself has to be heated for the safety and shelf life of the drink. This is done at very high temperatures for a short period of time. " Now, I'm skeptical about this. I know that heating sunflower oil is not good for the body, or is this ok given that it's a very short time?
 
Evan: Noticing I get migraines when the weather gets cold. Any suggestions?
 
Courtney: Hi there! One of my closest friends had a pretty immediate strong reaction to the (shall not be named) virus shot. He sweat profusely as if he’d dumped a bucket of water over his head. Since the shot, vitiligo has kicked in (which he had no history of) and he continues to lose pigmentation on his face and arms. Any known connection? Advice for how to intervene? Thanks so much, from a long time patient of your practice!
 
Renata: Hello Dr. Cabral , first I wanna thank you for all you do for people, all your time and effort to help as many people as possible. I found you on MindPump podcast and since then I am listening and learning so much! Thank you! Here is my question, I am doing the 21 day detox (on day 11 now) everything is going great .love it so much. My sleeping got so much better. I am learning to drink more water and wanna keep the meal schedule. After this detox I was gonna do your CBO protocol but I am having dental procedure in March and I feel that it would would be waste of time and money to do the CBO protocol. They will remove some if my amalgam fillings and extract one tooth and put me on antibiotics. What would be the best approach before, during and after? I did the mineral test and candida, metabolic, mineral test December. I have some deficiencies (B12, C) I think it is from tooth infection I have going.and some bacteria overgrowth, I think. I don’t have any issues really, but my body is probably fighting hard. I am 44y old. 25%fat. 148lbs. (Not sure if that helps;)) Exercise (resistance training) almost daily and have job where I move all the time. So I am quite active. I do infrared sauna (higher doze) almost daily. Thank you so much Renata
 
Karim: If the stool test and OAT do not show yeast/candida and oral health is on point (tongue scraping/floss/oil pulling), what would another reason be for white coated tongue?

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!

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: 

Anonymous: If you or a family member were diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus and put on omeprazole at a very high dose to stop stomach bleeds but has since caused incredible iron deficiency where you have to have it intravenously supplemented, what would you do?
 
Sarah:  Hi Dr Cabral! Happy New Year to you and your family, I’m incredibly grateful to have found you and your wealth of information that you provide for the improved health of our world. As an ICU nurse of 10 years I am so incredibly grateful to be in your IHP course and learning other more pure and healthful ways to care for people by keeping them out of the hospital and hopefully heading off chronic illness and disease. My question is what are your thoughts about sea moss as a dietary supplement? As long as it is of course very cleanly and purely grown and harvested? It’s said to have a myriad of benefits including vitamins and minerals as well as appetite suppression and GI regulation, but I have been wondering about your thoughts on it for awhile. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!
 
Angie: I recently ran the Mold lab with Great Plaines - MycoTox report with my naturopathic doctor and it showed elevated levels of Aspergillus Ochratoxin A at level 15.87. I had a consultation with her and she didn’t think my levels were high enough to do a mold protocol. Back story, I have struggled with bloating, constipation and a rash on the back of my head for years that started after living with my mother in laws house who did have mold. I have eradicated parasites and HPylori, but I still don’t feel well. If I stay on a strict Candida diet I feel better, but I had vinegarette the other day and the rash on my head intensified. I don’t want to just manage my symptoms, but get to the root of the problem. I say all this because I’d like to do your mold protocol to get the fungus back in control, but with my levels do you suggest I do that? I am currently doing the CBO finisher.
 
Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, I had a question regarding HCL. I keep hearing not to take HCL when you have a h pylori infection. But about if someone has h pylori and sibo?
 
Yasmin: I am a 57 year old female and have recently been experiencing lower back pain and decided to get some tests.done. I was diagnosed with osteopenia. Was prescribed 50,000 iu of vitamin d and some calcium, zinc and magnesium supplements. My question is, is there any treatment that I can follow that will reverse the osteopenia? And any other advice you can give me. My grandmother had osteoporosis and my mother was borderline. Thank you so much . Have been listening to your podcasts which I came across recently. Jasmin
 
Shane: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have experienced the last 3 years a discomfort / slight pain on the right side of my head, neck / shoulder mostly feel it behind my right ear and top of head especially when i wake up along with my right hand feeling cold and stiff when I wake up. I also have a 4 inch hook shaped rash on the right side of my neck recently right behind my ear. After being diagnosed with a fatty liver and gallstones. I have done multiple liver and gallbladder flushes and have got out thousands of stones which has improved my symptoms and health immensely! Also have done the big 5 labs and have Candida Overgrowth, SIBO, but interesting I didn't have any food sensitivities which I was curious can you have a leaky gut and not have any food sensitivities? I also ordered the stool test recently so will be doing that as well to see if I have any other imbalances. Also starting the CBO Protocol in the next month so I was just curious do you think this could be my vagus nerve being overactive due to the imbalance in my body causing my right side of my head, neck and shoulders to have discomfort and pain? I workout 6 times a week, eat a balanced plant based diet, take supplements, get chiropractor and acupuncture care so just curious what else to do? Thank You for all you do! Shane

Mold is one of the top 5 stealth pathogens that affect people’s health without them even realizing it’s at the root cause of their dis-ease…
 
Mold spores are mainly invisible to the naked eye and it’s usually only uncovered after removing ventilation, drywall, or looking at the top mold causing foods…
 
It’s one of the reasons why I like to bring attention to the topic and share real-world, case studies like today’s #CabralConcept 2218 on mold toxicity and how it often shows up as low mood, low energy, and high levels of inflammation - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

While we may be able to keep people alive longer thanks to medical technology we are certainly not improving people's quality of life.
 
This means that people are being diagnosed with diseases at younger and younger ages every year and most people are on a cocktail of medications by the time they reach their 50s.
 
So for essentially half of an adult's life they will be medicated for a chronic condition that could most likely have been mitigated by implementing certain lifestyle factors that no one ever shared with them.
 
That’s why and today’s #CabralConcept 2217 I’d like to share with you what the research shows for why most people are unwell and unhappy - hopefully you get some knowledge out of the show and share with anyone you believe it could help!

As an Integrative Health Practitioner it's interesting to see how a person's digestive system influences so many aspects of their health…
 
Although it may not seem obvious at first the gut and digestion actually affect the brain (and entire body) even though they are two separate entities…
 
And on today’s #CabralConcept 2216, based on the latest research-backed up by clinical practice, I'd like to share with you how brain fog and the gut connection are linked - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!
