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:
Judy: I'm hoping you can help me! I suffer from chronic headaches - one per month that last for 48 hours. They usually occur around the same time each month. They used to be more spread out - maybe 2-3 per year. I was diagnosed years ago with sinus headaches - had an MRI done which did not show any signs of anything sinus related. Then the Dr said migraines and to avoid red wine, cheese, etc. That didn't help. I've been seeing a chiropractor and get massages regularly thinking it may be spine or muscle tension. But they keep occurring. I have had two babies in the last 3 years so I know nursing has made my posture terrible - along with sitting at a desk working for the last 16+ years! I even went to a neurologist 2 months ago and that was a joke! I listen to your podcasts and really love the information you provide to your listeners. I'm hoping you can help me!
Daniela: Hi, First, I'd like to say I am so grateful that we have you! Thanks for all you do. I did the starter kit lab tests about one year ago or so. I had high levels of mercury and aluminum and the organic acids test showed no clear signs of candida or bacteria (but the health coach did say there were some backup markers indicating possible yeast or bacteria). So I did the Equilibrium Nutrition Heavy Metal Detox in October 2018, followed by the Intestinal Cleanse and Clean Gut Probiotic. I noticed that pretty soon after I started the HMD, I started having foul-smelling gas, which was very rare for me. It has been about 10 months or so and I find that I still have foul-smelling gas quite often. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!
Savana: Hi dr. Cabral. I Love the podcasts, I listen to them almost every single day! Question for you...I’ve been getting these weird head pains. Out of nowhere ,a very sharp pain and pressure will hit like a lightning bolt. I do get headaches and migraines as well but these pains only come one at a time and are quite painful. I get them probably 5-10 times a day. I havnt had a head injury so I’m not sure what could be causing this...any thoughts? Thanks
Anonymous: LONG Question warning: I stopped birth control April 2018, after 10 years consecutively taking it, and went from May - December without a cycle and in December had 2 barely noteworthy cycles. I haven't had one since. Overall symptoms below, both before stopping the pill and after. I have been traditionally allergy tested (skin prick) and am allergic to basically everything outdoors (trees, grass, weeds, pollen). I have been since birth. Plus beef, pork, dairy, mold, mildew. I was retested last year and have developed new allergies to pineapple (biggest reaction), peaches, goat, cabbage, squash, cantelope, and rice but only mildly. I got tested because for the last 6 years before that avocado killed my guts. These new allergies do not react respiratorily, they just make my guts feel like they are twisting in knots for HOURS. It doesn't move along quickly in either direction. It just sits and hurts. I didn't test for this but now almonds, walnuts, and quinoa are doing the same thing. But not 100% of the time I eat them. It's so hard to do an elimination diet when it constantly changes. My regular annual blood work shows that my cholesterol and other numbers seem to be improving with my regular exercise and whole food nutrition diet. I did have super low Vitamin D-OH Total (results were 25) and was on a weekly 50,000IU for 1 month and now take 1,000 IU per day. My Phospahte as phosperous was high but just on the top of the recommended range 4.6. TSH is around 1-1.5 between the last two years. MCV this year was 99. Sodium 142. Creatinine 0.93. A/G Ratio 2.1. ALT 26. Iron 186. B12 733. Fasting glucose 79. Calcium 10.2 Magnesium 2.2. Albumin 5.1. I emailed my bloodwork to your support email. I am almost positive I have either thyroid and/or adrenal issues, leaky gut or something, but I can't afford to test right now. What can I do? Symptoms: Insomnia fall asleep ok, but wake up a lot Restless all the time at night discomfort Fatigue, I feel heavy eyed all the time even if my brain won't shut offBrain fog Memory problems Low sex drive (problem for at least 10 years)Hair falling out, breaking, brittle eyebrows thinning dry skin/dry hairRinging in ears Hands and feet always cold Lack of excitement, I don't even have hobbies anymoreInability to lose weight in lower body. Like I look skeletal in the chest and my upper body but my legs are very heavy tree trunk looking still. The mass/weight will not budge. Look at food and gain weight, eat one bad meal and gain weight even thought I eat well the rest of the week. Abdomen bloat under muscle, not much fat to pinch but I can see a distension. Dry skin cracking around mouth/lipsAmenorrhea Mood irregularities Can’t handle any stress it sets me off, the smallest things literally enrage me Dizzy upon standing from a crouchFood cravings/binges Sugar crash even if only a little (I don't eat sugar anymore so maybe I am just sensitive now? But I can't even enjoy a treat without a wicked crash)Tmj Varicose veins in lower half Bunion Anxiety / pounding hard but not fast, but I can see and feel it in my neck Allergies Sleepiness even awake mentally
Jessica: Hello Dr. Cabral. I wanted to start off by saying that I am so excited to be a part of your IHP level 1 and 2 training programs. Before i ask my question(s) let me start with a brief background of my current challenge. I have been on the fence for quite some time now. I have 9 amalgam fillings. I want to take them out before having my second child but am afraid to disturb them preconception. My now almost 5 years thankfully is fine . I breastfeed for 2.5 years and I am afraid that as these amalgams fade they will continue to leach and I am afraid of conceiving again with them in. I am worried for both mine and future baby's health. Keeping them or removing them preconception. Ihave received varied opinions from Natropaths, Functional medicine doctors (that I trust) and my dentist who happens to also be a biological dentist office. I am a researcher and I have done a lot of research and couldn't come up with any compelling evidence that shows no harm to baby if amalgams are taken out before conception, however know how unhealthy it is to keep them in. I also listened to your Cabral Concept on Amalgam Fillings. I now consider you one of my go-to sources and would so appreciate your guidance. Thanks again for all of your great work. You and your work are a true gift! Jessica
Kerry: Hi Dr Cabral, I wake many times durning the night feeling stiff and uncomfortable, I usually roll to my other side or to my back and get back to sleep quickly only to wake again later. I also wake most mornings with a dull headache. What could be causing this?
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!

Every once in awhile the government decides to look at natural ways to reduce pollution and "detoxify" the world we live in...
This was just the case with the NASA Clean Air Study that looked at the top plants for removing harmful invisible gases and other toxins from the air we breathe inside our homes and offices...
Like most studies, the actual research can seem confusing at first glance, which is why I wanted to take all that data and break it down in a very actionable way...
On today's #CabralConcept 1322 I'd like to share with you the famous NASA study on air pollutants and how to remove them naturally - Enjoy the show!

Have you ever heard the saying, "I'll sleep when I'm dead...
"Well... solid research shows that unfortunately sleeping at the wrong time or in the wrong amounts may lead to greater all-cause mortality (early death).
That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1320 I want to share with you the truth behind how much sleep you need per night (kids too) - Enjoy the show!

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!
Carey:I’m hoping you can share your opinion on advanced Zeolite spray for detoxing. Thanks!
Shivani: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question for your podcast please.I am 25 with pcos and endometriosis, i’ve been taking berberine for the past 9 months but I have heard it isn’t advisable to take it long term. I am scared to stop because it is supposed to be antimicrobial so i’m scared i will develop breakouts if i stop? I hardly get the flu ie once in the last 3 years!Whilst this is convenient, does it mean my immune system is on overdrive from low level inflammation? Lastly whenever I take calcium d glucarate i notice a correlation with under eye bags - do you know the connection? Please help! You are seriously the best and I am forever grateful for the efforts you go to for others! Kind regards, Shivani
Jackie: Dear Dr Cabral, I wanted to say Hello and a big thank you for your wonderful podcasts and your resource of information available. I’m currently reading , The Rain Barrel Effect and finding it super informative and can't put in down. I needed some advice on a Uterine polyp, I very recently had a check up with my gynaecologist and she discovered a small polyp (around 5 millimetres). I was concerned if this may cause a problem for my health and fertility down the track? Im 35 and would like to have a family in the next couple of years. I try to live a clean lifestyle, I don’t drink, eat a plant based diet, try to avoid process foods, exercise regularly, steer away as much as possible from chemical use in my home and on my body, I’ve never taken the pill and are not on any medication. I have a regular cycle each month. What would be the underlying cause of this issue? A possible hormonal in-balance? I'm not currently able to get testing through your clinch as I’m based in Germany. But what would be my next step in terms of treatment, or supplements if needed. Many Thanks Jackie
Kerry: Hello Doctor, Can a child (aged 5) complete the Heavy Metal Detox? Is there a lesser dose they should have of each supplement? If the protocol is not suitable for children how would you go about helping a child detox heavy metals?Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks Dr Cabral!Regards Kerry
Neeks: Hey, Dr Cabral. Great show as always. Just wondering in your medical experience what would you say is the best form of birth control for a woman. I understand each has its pros & cons and many can alter hormones and what not. Out of the available options can you say which one or two in your opinion is effective and has the least health drawbacks. Thank you. Looking forward to your response
Tori: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am very allergic to nuts (I go into anaphylaxis upon ingestion), but I suspect I have SIBO or Candida overgrowth. Would love to take your SIBO/Candida protocol, but noticed it uses black walnut hull. Are there any alternatives to the protocol? Or anything I can replace the black walnut hull products with? Hoping there is another supplement I can use to remove the SIBO/Candida. Thanks so much for your help and for everything you do!
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:
Elise: Hello dr Cabral! I recently discovered this podcast and I absolutely love it! The past few months I’ve been hearing more and more about people doing psychedelic mushrooms and having positive mental/spiritual effects. I have always been very sceptic to everything that effects my brain and that is out of my control, but it peaked my interest. I know they have been commonly used in rituals in many ancient cultures, especially in South America. I just wanted to get your thoughts on the matter. Do you think that it could have a positive effect? (of course it has to be organically grown and from a good source). What are the potential side effects? Thank you in advance!
Rosie: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral,I am Rosie, from south -Africa-I am currently studying your IHP course level 1,2 but have a situation with my husband regarding GERD, Barrett’s esophagus and acid reflux PPI.My husband swallowed a camera and got his results back that he has Barrett’s and his dad has this done 7 months ago and had the same results. His dad had an operation done and I am trying to get my husband to not “just cut out” as the recovery is weeks of a liquid diet ect and you can never vomit again if ill... my husband is 34 and weighs 117kg he needs to lose weight, he struggles badly with leaky gut specially feels the effects of gluten with bloating and I am sure he has a bacteria overgrowth. I am putting him on your meal plan for weight loss to loose the weight first.Please could you guide us into the right direction.Do you know of Labs that can be done in South Africa? Our exchange rate is very bad and would love to run labsThanks so much, Kind regards Rosie
Samantha: Hi Stephen, I love your podcasts, thank you for providing so much amazing insightful information. The rain barrel effect in one of my Favourite reads. I think it should be in every library world wide !My question is - what do you think of the Pyrrole test ? Is it important ? What sort of conditions can it pick up ? I have had anxiety and depression /mood swings for many many years. Going back to my teenage years , which was over 20 years ago. A friend suggested it might be worth me having the Pyrrole test. Thank you and can't wait to hear your thoughts
Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! What advice do you have for individuals with lipedema? I struggled to lose weight in my heavy thighs/bottom half for decades- eating extremely cleanly, starving myself, severely restricting calories, and eventually resorting to bulimia because of my extreme pear shaped body. Then, I discovered there is a condition called lipedema that makes it impossible to lose fat in these regions. Apparently, the only reliable "treatment" is liposuction. Please help!
Kristen: Hi Dr Cabral. Reading your book and listening to your podcasts has really helped me understand a lot of my health dis-eases. One problem that I have been facing is heavy legs. It all started after an intense SIBO & parasite protocol and I believe my detox pathways were not well supported. I began to gain weight after a stressful time. That winter I had horrible depression, fatigue (only 2,000 a day) really cold, and could hardly climb stairs. My thought is that my lymphatic system started to get clogged. I have brain fog and developing varicose veins, but i also have all sorts of gut infections and mold toxicity. Someone told me it could be from hormone imbalances (have that too) or else from the mold. My thyroid is optimal now from medication, but still have the heavy legs. what could it be from, and what could i do? Thanks!
Matt: Hi Dr.Cabral, I'm writing in for about my friend's condition. He's not into alternative medicine and a holistic approach to health yet so I was hoping you could shed light on a starting point for his illness. He has pus filled bumps on the back of his head. Some as large as a nickel and they don't seem to come to head like an average face pimple. From a far it looks like he's balding with little patches all over his head but really they are these pus filled bumps. He is currently taking accutane with results on body and face acne but not for his head condition. Any thoughts on what might be causing this or what tests should be done to find the root cause
Lawson: Hey Dr. Cabral. This is the best podcast ever. Quick question. Many of my peers, coworkers, family, online strangers tend to complain about knee and back pains when they're approaching the age of 30. Some were never involved in sport or got injured. They just feel pain. Is that part of the so-called aging process? I am 34 years old suffered injuries from sport, but I am currently without any pain or joint issue. Is there anything I can do from your expertise to avoid the niggling pains they're going through or is it inevitable? Is there anything I can recommend to them to alleviate their plight? Keep up great work
Darron: Hey Dr. Cabral. Are there any drawbacks from using the supplements l arginine, l-citrulline and beta alanine for training purposes? Also are there benefits to using them for persons who don't train but are otherwise active like my dad who's 61. Keep up great work Doc

So on today's #CabralConcept 1315 I'd like to share with you the workout you can do daily in very little time, so you can stay in a regimen - Enjoy the show!

Our grandparents never used to have to worry about these issues...
But, the world has changed and we live in a time where profits come before people and our food system has taken the biggest hit of all...
This means that we have to be even more diligent in what we include in our meals and how we look at total nutrient intake per day...
Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1314 to find out if you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies and why your food isn't filling you up anymore - Enjoy the show!

We live in a world right now where “might makes right” and that there can be only 1 best form of anything...
That means you’re told you should narrow your focus to only 1 interest or modality and accept it as the winner...
What happens in this common scenario is that you miss out on the benefits of every other area...
And you typically don’t get the results you’re looking for (especially when it comes to healing and weight loss) since you most likely don’t “fit nicely into one box...”
That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1313 I want to share with you the best form of medicine - Enjoy the show!

In my opinion, too much stress is put on trying to find happiness and not enough emphasis is put on what you need to do to actually get there…
There are so many different ways to achieve a life well-lived, but very few people have ever been taught what to even look for…
On today’s Cabral Concept 1312 I will review with you the 3 overlooked areas of life to master in order to move towards your best life – Enjoy the show!

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!
Susanne:Hi! The last year I have been getting tons of Cherry Angiomas appearing on my skin. I have no idea what the root cause might be. What makes them appear? What is the root cause? I am not pregnant or on birth control. If you had them, or they started appearing on your skin, Dr. Cabral, what would you do yourself to prevent getting more of them?
Jennette: Hello, I finished the CBO protocol at the end of May but then I developed these small dry red patches under my eyes and on my right eye lid. I have been applying colloidal silver ointment which helps to clear it up but if I stop, it just comes back. it gets dry and flaky and someone was saying that it is eczema. I've never had this before and wondered what could be causing it?
Valeria: Based off your podcasts on the emf vibrations impacting human vibration which can cause illness like cancer whats your take on fat loss ultrasonic devices?
Tina: I am a personal trainer (who also thinks like a functional medicine practitioner!) and am working with a client who was recently diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Her health provider helped her link the root cause to exposure to bat or/and chicken manure. What are the essential next steps for this client? And if steroids are recommended, is this the best answer?
Morgan: hi! what would you recommend for someone who has liver and colon cancer? Just wasn't sure which products to start with. thanks!
Mishan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm so grateful to you for everything you do - you have changed my life for the best and I cannot thank you enough. My question is this - my aunt has rheumatoid arthritis and has been on steroids and biological meds for 30 years now. She does not want my help from IHP training, and instead she's considering stem cell treatment since she heard it "eliminates inflammation." I've understood that stem cells act more like anti-inflammatory substances in the body and do not address root causes. Can you speak about how stem cells work for RA - do they eliminate the root cause of the autoimmunity or are they still a bandaid approach? Thank you!!
Kim: Hello Dr. Cabral, my name is Kim and I am 52 and have had Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes for 36 years. I have worn a insulin pump for the past 15 years. My last A1C was 6.1 and I fluctuates on my A1C between 5.7 to 6.3. I have been Keto for a year and half now and feel it has really helped with my blood sugars. I do IF daily for about 14-16 hours and eat 2 meals a day. I eat very clean with an occasional cheat meal or dessert for birthdays or holidays. I also belong to a gym and work out 3-4 days a week. My question is you don't recommend the keto diet and you encourage 3 meals a day and the first meal of the day being a smoothie. How does a diabetic adapt to that way of eating without needing added insulin? I keep my carbs below 50grams a day . I have food sensitivities to dairy and eggs and shell fish. I am also post menopausal and have digestive issues. I am not overweight I am 5'6 and weight 140 wear a size 6 in clothes. But I don't feel 100%. I wake up stiff and achy and actually dread going to bed because i do not sleep well and toss and turn all night do to aches and pains. Would love to hear you do an episode or 2 on Type 1 diabetes.
Raj: Dear All, I am keen undertaking the IHP training course offered by Dr Stephen Cabral and also would like to take the Big '5' Lab test. I love to workout and play football, go running, carry-out yoga and hit work outs regularly. I am from an Asian-Indian background, my father has Type 2 diabetes (is not too overweight but is heavy around the stomach) and mother is marginally obese but has never been diagnosed with anything. I would like to avoid this in the future. Before I go ahead, can you please tell me how I can prepare for tests and which tests I may need to improve my fitness and health. Although I am not a severe case but I do have mild symptoms of anxiety and depression (currently lowering medication off Sertraline). I have also taken live bacteria, to try and combat any bad bacteria. Diet has now changed to plain rice, carrot juice, loads of veg and salad and fish. However too much salad causes diarrhoea. I would really like to get better and help myself, so one day I can help others. I hope you can help me.
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:
Justin: This is a question for the podcast, or feel free to email me back. So i have a friend with an 11 year old boy. He's been struggling with encopresis since he first started potty training. His mother has taken him to many Doctors and specialists, and yet know one has really helped him. My thought is bacterial overgrowth and poor diet, but what are your suggestions on this. I would love to help this kid and see him gain more self confidence as he gets closer to junior high and high school.
Allison: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve learned so much from your podcasts and through the Rain Barrel Effect- I wanted to dive deeper on Food Combining and what foods you would suggest go well together and an example of what that would look like in a typical day? Looking forward to learning more! Thank you! Allison
Uju: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a huge fan of your podcast and grateful for your dedication to your work. I know you’ve covered alopecia in previous house calls but I don’t think I’ve heard a podcast covering scarring forms of alopecia, specifically. I’m a Nigerian woman in my mid-20s with a form of scarring alopecia called CCCA (Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia). It progresses very slowly, so I’m not quite sure when it started but I’ve had it for at least 8 years. Another symptom I have other than hair loss is an occasional sharp, piercing pain when I touch parts of my scalp. The cause of CCCA isn’t really known but it’s thought to be auto-immune: my body is attacking my hair follicles and replacing it with scar tissue. In my case specifically, I think CCCA may have been sparked by scalp burns I got from a chemical hair straightener when I was younger.I’ve been to dermatologists, gotten a scalp biopsy, but haven’t been offered much help. I know the already scarred-over follicles are done for, but I need advice regarding how to completely halt the progression of the alopecia. It progresses so slowly that I can’t tell if it’s active or not right now, but I don’t want to take any chances. I don’t live in a country that Equilibrium Nutrition delivers products to. Regardless, I'm curious what kinds of functional medicine tests you would recommend? And what protocols you would recommend if testing can’t be done?Thank you.
Rachel: Good evening, My name is Rachel.For a few years now I have religiously used Dr. Cabrals detox and put many friends and family members on it as well. I am looking to ask Dr. Cabral a few questions about an natural all vegan product composed of five herbs that has proven to reduce oxidative stress by 40% in 30 days and up to 70% all together. I have asked many physicians about this product as I work in the medical field but really feel Dr.Cabrals insight would be unmatched. I wouldn't need much time at all I would just like to send him an informational video in order to get his opinion on this product as I don't want to take it if he does not agree. Thank you so much in advance.
Anonymous: Hi Doctor Cabral. Sometimes the day after I drink alcohol I feel my heart beating a little harder and faster. I particularly notice it when I am sitting or laying still. It can also be irregular sometimes but not often. I know that my body is reacting to the alcohol in someway but I’d like to know what the reaction is and is it something to be concerned with? Thank you.
Sarah: I just found out about nano hydroxyapatite, what is Dr Cabral’s view on it? This is what I could find out. It is a product used for remineralization. NASA discovered and used it in the early 1970s to remineralize astronaughts bones after extended time in space. A Japanese company bought the patent and has been manufacturing it in toothpaste and oral products ever since. The best points: it has no known toxicity and can be safely swallowed by children. Even better, in several studies it outperformed fluoride. Only known issues with it is it can have rare toxicity or allergy issues when taken as an internal supplement. But this is rare and not associated with oral use. Nano hydroxyapatite has been the Japanese gold standard for oral remineralization and care for over 30 plus years. I haven't tried it yet but I’m interested to try it if it’s considered safe. My teeth are not really ok with 100% natural toothpaste unfortunately. I currently use the one with fluoride but in a natural base and would love to use something better.
Jim: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Jim, and I recently discovered you, your clinic, and podcast after watching your presentation in the Retrovirus Summit. I have been to a few functional medicine practitioners in the past 6 years with little luck, and listening to your methods for helping people with various health problems really resonated with me. You have a different approach than most practitioners and are not focused on one single diet, which is really refreshing. You really do help the individual and are not tied to a one size fits all model. Thank you for this. I would appreciate any feedback you can provide for me based on the following timeline and my symptoms. I hope this formatted list makes it easy for you to get thru all the information.Age 11 - bad case of food poisoning (2 weeks)Age 13 - Developed acne, blackheads, etc.Did a course of AccutaneHorrible side effects. Ended up with very dry skin and symptoms of RosaceaAge 13-26 - Stayed pretty much acne free during this time, but still had the Rosacea and dry skin. Always anxious, nervous stomach, low confidence, and skin issues occurred during this time.Age 27 - Diagnosed with Testicular Cancer Surgery to remove tumor After remission I had my wisdom teeth removed, then had to go back because a bone fragment was left behind.3 Months after remission my Acne returned. I was devastated. The cancer, the issue with my wisdom teeth, and the return of my acne was really a cycle of multiple traumas that created a perfect storm of issues.Lots of tests and lots of money spent on alternative methods OAT test in 2013 shows high bad bacteria and deficiencies in good bacteria and minerals. I've done multiple food sensitivity panels, stool tests, and recently a SIBO test (came back negative).Did an Upper Endoscopy and it showed I had esophagitis and gastritis, both not chronic.Underweight - I am 5'-10" and 125 lbs. My most recent functional medicine practitioner had me on Low Carb, and I went down to 120 lbs. I seem to only put on weight when I eat enough carbs. Lots of food sensitivities I recently did muscle testing, and it showed that my thyroid was the weakest, and that I have a fungal issue. I have left that facility due to the inconsistent feedback I was receiving. They did not believe in lab testing. I am a very analytical person, and I like/need to see numbers and trends to know if my health is going in the right direction. Otherwise you are just taking someone's WORD for it. Hard to trust in that situation. I have started to develop more skin issues recently as well. I feel like I have had a bacterial issue since I had the food poisoning and the rain barrel has been filling up ever since. Symptom overview: Acne, Eczema, Sebb Derm, Rosacea Tinnitus Food Sensitivities Brain Fog Fear, Anxiety Low Libido Low Self-Esteem due to skin and weight Suspected low stomach acid; Did the baking soda test and did not burp; Tried 3 straight mornings I am looking to get updated on all my testing and start from a fresh baseline. What would be the best order to do the testing, if I am unable to afford all of them at once? If one of your recommendations is the Dr. Cabral Detox, then how do I keep from losing weight during the detox. Thanks for your time Dr. Cabral and for all the help and hope you give to people like me that are looking for alternative methods to find the root cause of our heath problems. Sincerely, Jim

Although I'm a big proponent of nutritional supplements they are typically used incorrectly:
• Too low a dose is used so there is no clinical benefit
• Higher dosages than necessary are taken for too long
• The wrong form of a vitamin or mineral is used so the absorption is poor
• Symptoms alone are not the best indicator of toxicity or deficiency
However, all of these issues stated above are easily correctable...
And, when you do take the right dosage of high-quality nutritional supplements the results are astounding!
So on today's #CabralConcept 1307 I'm going to share an example with you of a single vitamin that has been clinically proven to extend life and boost immunity - Enjoy the show!

I never want to seem like I am not grateful or amazed by conventional medicine...
But the truth is that the scope in which they practice is severely limited...
Again, this is not any doctor’s fault, but rather the time they have allotted for each patient and the system that they’ve been taught to work within...
The problem is that countless patients each year suffer due to a failed system that is uninterested at looking at root causes...
This means that people are being diagnosed with “diseases” that very well may have correctable imbalances that would add years to their life and life to their years...
On today’s #CabralConcept 1306 I am going to share with you how considering a second opinion could be the difference-maker that gets you your life back - Enjoy the show!

I do this every September...
I like to re-assess how my last few months have gone and what I would still like to accomplish for the rest of 2019...
This life audit does not come from a place of judgment, but rather the opportunity for a fresh start...
So on today's #CabralConcept 1305 I'd like to share with you why I believe now is the time to complete your next "1000 minute life audit" - Enjoy the show!

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!
Sue: Hi Stephen, I live on the Sunshine Coast in QLD Australia and have been following your podcasts for awhile now since Melissa and Nick had you on her show etc. You are amazing and I will do your course in the future but at the present my 24 year old daughter is going through a journey with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. She was diagnosed in 2016 when she was 21 and started ABVD chemotherapy. She completed 2 rounds and her PET scan showed it had reduced 75%. She then decided to heal naturally. She did that for 18 months with a naturopath and did vitamin c infusions, hyperthermia, colonics,coffee enemas, juices, supplements etc. After 18 months it had increased and she had to have a rod put in her hip down her thigh prior to chemo as the cancer had eroded a chunk out of her femur. She did 4 cycles of ICE chemo and had her stem cells taken for a transplant in the future. She went into complete metabolic remission but relapsed 3 weeks later so they ditched the idea of using her own cells and chemo and she went on Brentuximab immunotherapy. Did 6 cycles of that. It started reducing but then increased so is currently on Pembrolizumab which showed it was reducing but the latest scan showed a slight increase in the node in her neck and while her body was stable in the last scan there is now one tiny lesion back in her spine. They are talking radiation for her neck but with no guarantee that it wont come back. I think we need to find out why her body isn't healing with your help if possible. We have limited funds so maybe we could start like you did with your healing and start with a couple of tests first with your recommendations. I hope this gets to you. I wasn't sure if this is the correct way to contact you. Have a great day Kind regards Sue
James: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and trying to help as many people as you can. I was recommended to you by a friend who had bad anxiety and after doing your detox and CBO protocols, you have changed her life.I apologize for the long store but here is a quick background on me. I have had stomach issues throughout my life which spiked about 5 years ago after a night out drinking too much. After 9 months of seeing doctors, losing 26kg (57 pounds) due to everything I ate made me sick, and barely being able to leave the house, I was told I had helicobacter pylori and a retrovirus by a naturopath. He was able to fix me within 3 months and I haven't had many stomach issues since then, except for some strange food sensitivities. About 1 and 1/2 years ago I was on a plane and had a panic attack out of nowhere, I'm not afraid of flying so this was strange for me. Even after a few days the anxiety remained and made it hard for me to go to work and get on a bus (because it reminded me of a plane). I am an equity research analyst so I like to research things. I started to try and work out what I had introduced into my life that may have caused the anxiety to come on, as the only time I had experienced anxiety before was from taking something I shouldn't have (drugs) or too much pre-workout. I realized that the only thing I had changed was I had introduced Dymista 125/50, a steroidal nasal spray, due to being highly allergic to dust mites. I then started to research the correlation of this an anxiety and found a few forums with hundreds of people having the same issues as I was. I then started to focus on studies and came across a few that found that steroidal nasal sprays can cause the deregulation of Cortisol production and the HPA axis. Then after researching high cortisol levels, I found that many of the symptoms of high cortisol, I had. I went to the doctor to get tested and of course, it came back in a safe range as it was a blood test and only once during the day, not capturing my circadian rhythm. However, my blood sugar was very high and she was concerned I was getting diabetes. I wasn't surprised by this as I thought that the Cortisol/Insulin correlation would be causing this, do you agree? Furthermore, I am unable to eat any sugar (including fruit) because it makes my anxiety much worse. I additionally can't have coffee and cocoa anymore because it increases my anxiety but not instantly like I have experienced before if I had too much caffeine or pre-workout but 30 min to 1 hour later. Is this because they are raising my already high cortisol levels? I decided I needed to get my cortisol properly tested so I did the DUTCH test, which as I expected showed I had extremely high cortisol levels, with my other hormones generally in the normal range. Before being recommended to you, I had seen many naturopaths and specialists that have given me many different supplements to try and help my anxiety and lower my cortisol but nothing has helped. I also have noticed that the 4 times I have supplemented with vitamin B it has increased my anxiety. Due to this, I thought maybe I had MTHFR so the last naturopath tried methylated vitamin B and folic acid but this only made me worse after about a week. After listening to your podcasts, helping my friend, and hearing that you had similar issues yourself, I trusted you would know how to help me. Due to a shortage of money and already doing the DUTCH test, I decided to start with the 21-day detox, which I had to stop after 1.5 weeks because my anxiety got a lot worse, which I assume was caused again by the vitamin B in the shakes. I was fine for the first week but after that, the anxiety came on a lot stronger, which is what has happened the other times I have had vitamin B. I have now just started the CBO program as this is what helps fix my friend with her anxiety and I thought maybe my anxiety is being caused by all my previous stomach issues in the past, although my stomach hasn't gotten worse since my anxiety started. However, I know that your stomach plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters. I am also taking your Adrenal Sooth and CBD oil, although the CBD oil hasn't seemed to help which I was surprised by after researching it. I feel like the Adrenal sooth is helping a little but I have only been on it for 3 weeks and I know that it will take time to lower my cortisol. My question is, if the anxiety doesn't subside after finishing the CBO and gut healing, what should be my next steps as I feel like I would have done everything possible and using your right supplements and protocols? Also is it possible for you to give an explanation of what you think maybe wrong with me and what is causing the anxiety and high cortisol?
Amy: Is marijuana okay to be used while healing? We live in a state where it is legal so I see a lot of people who use it. Anxiety seems to be the number one reason my clients use it. Is this allowed or does it stop the healing process?
Luann: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I am a 51 year old woman who has been experiencing hot flashes for 4 years. I have followed the recommendations in your hot flash podcast 968. In the past 6 months, I have completed the 21-day detox, the parasite protocol, the CBO protocol / CBO finisher, the heavy metal detox, and deep sleep protocol. I have been following the DESTRESS protocol and trying to reduce the stress in my life. I take the Daily Foundational Protocol Level 3, thyroid support, estrogen balance, adrenal soothe, magnesium, zinc, CBD oil, B complex, vitamin C, and vitamin D. The frequency and intensity of my hot flashes have greatly reduced, but still occur approximately 4 times / day. I notice my hot flashes often coincide with an emotional response such when I feel embarrassed, shame, worried, or made a mistake. They decrease when I am taking better care of myself, having a lower stress day, and when I am on vacation. Could you please explain in this HouseCall or in a future podcast why hot flashes occur. What are the physiological mechanisms in the body that bring them about? What are the deficiencies and toxicities that lead to hot flashes? Do histamines have anything to do with hot flashes / flushing? Why did you have hot flashes / flushing when you were sick at 17? My 15 year old son heavily blushes whenever he is embarrassed. His blushing began when he was 13 and started to go through puberty. Is blushing like this the same as hot flashes? What do you recommend I do to help my son reduce or get rid of his blushing? Also, do you have any additional recommendations for me? Thank you!
Jody: Hi there, I’m from Australia an am looking at starting somewhere with the Stephen Cabral tests or wellness plan. Just deciding on best first step for me based on my budget and what to prioritise first. I currently take a natural thyroid extract 97.5mg and have been taking thyroid medication for around 8yrs. I’m also taking DHEA, and Indoplex (for estrogen balancing) along with other vitamins etc. I try and eat gluten and dairy free but can still have suffer from stomach issues so I am keen to try the food sensitivity test to get some clarity on what foods to stop eating. Could you maybe recommend a good starting point for me on a lower budget? Or am I better off saving until I can afford the “Big 5” tests which saiid amazing. Also my doctor says I won’t be able to stop taking thyroid medication ever - is this true? Thanks so much for your time,Kind regards,Jodie
Harmony: Hi Stephen, Firstly I would LOVE to thank you for everything that you are doing, I listen to your podcast most days and have learnt so much from you :) I do however, have a question (or story) for you and feel like you may be my last hope of finding any resolution.I suffer with IBS-C and bloating + (abdominal distention) daily. It feel that it has become more problematic and prevelant post kids (I have twins who just turned 7yrs old).I am extremely frustrated as I have tried every diet under the sun (except histamine which is next step). I have followed FODMAP for quite some time with minimal relief. I have seen naturopaths, nutritionist, doctors, gastroenterologist, dieticians and have just finished a 21 day Panchakarma with my Ayurvedic doctor. I was very disheartend with my Panchakarma detox results - I literally felt no difference, my bloating was constant the whole time and I was still getting consitpated (having to take coloxyl & movicol) ... until a little relief from the 5 days of enemas. I have low Agni and was undergoing the Panchakarma for a Vata imbalance, although the reason for going was to discuss my IBS. I have a Vata-Pitta Prikruti. I guess I was even more so disapointed because I have done a lot of study in Ayurveda and believed in this system, it was my last hope. (Plus I actually put on 1.5kg doing it!!!).Post Panchakarma I was talking with my naturopath friend who suggested my bloating may be because of Histamine intolerance which made sense to me as I have always associated my more server bloating with my hormonal cycle, in particular at ovulation and then again when i menstruate. She suggested I tried the anti histamine diet however I feel that It will just be one more diet I restrict myself on with little changes or will not be able to stick to it long term.My background:Physically fit, I train 5 days per week (it was 6 but cut it down or will just do yoga or pilates on the 6th day). My training consists of running, Muay thai boxing, 9 rounds, Pilates, Yoga, Spin, Body weight exercises & light weights.I am a registered Nurse but have cut my shifts down to 1x week as I teach multiple Yoga & pilates classes per week as well as run workshops & retreats. I also run a small business (activewear label). I feel that I should be 2kg lighter then what I am considering the exercise and clean diet. I put on 1.5kg from the Panchakarma!!! so know im probabaly 3.5kg over weight, I know that doesnt sound like much but I am only 162 cm, now weighing 59kg and for me that is uncomfortable (I feel that i retain fluid) & then I get the bloating daily on top of all that. It has been messing with my mind as there is sooooo much conflicting information out there and I feel that i have tried it all with out any sustainable success. All the 'diets' contradict each other and limit really healthy foods (for some).I am sooooooo confused!!!! PLEASE HELP ME. I want to live my life without having to worry about packing spare cloths for when the boating kicks in and I can not fit in to my pants or top at the end of the day... I actually have stopped going out in the evenings. I want to get back to a confortable weight for me and a flat tummy, minus thge occassional mood swings too. Thank you :)

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:
Janice: Would you please give the benefits of taking the dim supplement on one of your podcasts?
Tyson: Hello, What do you know about Candibactin AR? I’m about 2/3 of the way through the CBO protocol in hopes of getting rid of acne on my face, chest and back. Up to this point I’ve had reduced acne on my face, but not as much progress with my chest or back. A family friend of mine just told me her daughter took Candibactin AR to help her with acne and she got great results - is this something I could start taking during my CBO protocol? Or should I wait till it’s done? Or should I skip trying this supplement all together? Thank you! Tyson
Erica: Hey Dr. Cabral! I actually have a career question for you today. I am recently out of college, and just finished up your IHP level 1 and level 2 courses. They were fantastic. After seeing what you've done, I have to say I'd like to continue down a similar path. So I have a few questions about what your opinion is for different doctorate degrees. Financially speaking, an MD seems like a safer path, as I can always diverge back into a functional practice, but it seems to be longer - around 5-8 years. I would have to take out loans for this, so it seems like a "financially" safer way. But the thing is -- I am definitely most interested in helping / healing others in a natural way. And I'm not sure if it's worth it to commit that much time going down the MD path when I could keep my focus on what I want my true expertise to be. The thing about becoming an ND is though, the salary might be much lower out of school, it could be harder to pay off debt, and I've heard you mention before that ND school isn't the same as it has always been from an educational standpoint. So basically, my question is, if you had to do this all over again.. what path would you choose? Where do you think one could receive the BEST education for learning to heal others from a foundational standpoint? Does it involve leaving the US altogether? Which countries seem to be the most advanced in these methodologies? Being able to take insurance is another "safe" side of this, but I've also heard you mention that you choose not to be insured anyways so you can practice the way you'd like to practice. Thanks so so much in advance! Looking forward to hearing your response!
Elizabeth: Hello Doc, I'm one of your IHP students and I feel beyond grateful to be part of your community. I have a client with Leukocyte Disorders, every 2-3 months he wakes up at night with fever above 103° and no other symptoms except for extreme fatigue. When that happens, his conventional Docs treat him with cortisone and Tylenol. He's doing the 21 days DCD protocol, eating healthy + meditation everyday. He is 25 y.o. He has also a history of Cytomegalovirus and Mononucleosis (looks like his immune system is quite weakened) I really would love to help him, besides Adrenal lab testing (that i've already recommended) do you have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and everything you do to empower people with knowledge. The world needs more Dr Cabral! :)
Bernice: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently had to have a 12 cm ovarian cyst removed surgically. The OBGYN was recommending to take birth control after the surgery to help prevent future cysts from growing. Are there any holistic/naturopathic remedies to help with preventing future cyst issues? Thank you!
Steve: Hi Dr. Cabral,What can you tell me about POIS? Though I have a host of issues, one that is particularly concerning as of late is when my wife and I have sex, I experience fatigue, extreme back pain, racing heart, flu-like symptoms, and brain fog for up to a week afterwards. Could this be POIS or something else? I have already ordered your Big 5 lab tests, so I’m hoping some of the results can bring some clarity to my situation. Thanks

We’ve all heard the advice that you need to be drinking 8 glasses of water per day, but what does this really mean anyway?
Should a 100 lb person be drinking the same amount as a 200 lb person?
And, can you just consume all 8 glasses at once? Or, do you need to be drinking each glass at a specific time during the day for better absorption?
Clearly, this general outdated advice that everyone should consume 8 glasses of water per day needs to be updated…
So on today’s #CabralConcept 1300 I will be sharing with you the exact times to drink water during the day (and how much) - Enjoy the show!
