344: Psoriasis/Arthritis, Itchy Scalp, Gout Symptoms (HouseCall) Jan 15, 2017

Show notes

Our 2nd #HouseCall of the weekend is here!

And here are today's community questions & answers:

Lindsey: Hi Stephen, I have been listening for a while and following on your Instagram page (which I like to recommend to all my followers too) for a while now. I am quite worried about my mum at the moment who was put on methotrexate a few years ago as her psoriasis and arthritis was so bad. (She has had it since being a teenager and is now 64) At the moment she has no immunity, she catches everything; colds, chest infections, sickness bugs etc and I don't think I've seen her well in a while. She is scared to come off this immune suppressor due to the pain/ discomfort that will come back but she currently hasn't go any quality of life anyway? How can you help her all the way from the UK? I've bought and done your detox etc so I'm aware of the products in your store but I'm not sure if you could help her here in the U.K with tests etc as you need blood turnarounds quickly etc. Thanks and keep up the good work Lindsey

Stacey: Hi, just wondering if you can do a podcast on dandruff, itchy, oily scalp and the root causes behind it. Solutions to heal! Thanks

"Mel from Australia" and "MN" your question did not come through... Please resubmit!

Shahna: Love the podcast and your approach and comprehensive explanations to health. The podcast is a daily must. Instagram is fabulous, too. Thank you! Now the question... My husband is 51 years old and has hardening of the skin on his toes, especially the pinky toe and hardening of the nails. To describe the affected nails they look clawlike and come to a point. He used to be an executive chef before our marriage of four years and indulged in food and drink along with his work, worked long hours on his feet and basically wore himself out for many years. He switched to an outdoor job approximately 15 years ago and thought the hardening occurred due to wearing boots. He suffered from gout like symptoms a few months ago and has agreed to a vegetarian diet for the majority of his diet. He is not overweight, maybe a bit of extra weight in his stomach. FYI I have purchased your detox program for both of us. He has the option of one or two weeks. He isn't taking a vitamin or supplement currently, but I did order for him your daily activated multi vitamin and will include your generous vitamin d with it. Please advise. Many, many heartfelt thanks. I am spreading the word. Thank you.

I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way!

343: Hormone Replacement, Weight Loss Testing, Radiation Detox, Phone Support & Iodine Supplementation (HouseCall) Jan 14, 2017

Show notes

The first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend is here and we have quite a show for today!

The questions are amazing, as always, and hopefully I did each one justice... Check out today's community questions:

Kate: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been working with a naturalpath for several years to help restore hormone balance (I'm a 32 yr. old female with severe estrogen dominance symptoms!). We have tried so many different things like, healing adrenals, boosting thyroid, anti-inflammatory plant based diet, etc. But my progesterone is still very low. Do you recommend BHRT? My doc wants to put me on it for a few months on days 11-28 of my cycle and see if she can "jumpstart" production? There is a lot of conflicting info when it comes to BHRT! Thoughts?

Rachna: Good morning I am interested in having the Weight Loss test done however, can you confirm if this test can be done for someone that lives in Canada? Thank you!

Chelsea: I have to have a CT scan, what are some things I can do to help offset the radiation in my system? Are there any detox products you recommend or any major uptick in certain foods? Will spending extra time doing grounding work help? What about an Epsom soak or infared sauna? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question and thank you for your podcast, I appreciate the information you share.

Laura: Hi . Do you work with patients out of state by phone?

Bonnie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you please talk about iodine supplementation and if it is necessary? I have used sea salt for years and it does not contain iodine. I have read about the need for iodine supplementation in the absence of iodized salt, but the more I read, the more I am confused about how much to take, or if I even need it. Details about me, if needed: I am 38 years old, 5'7" and 114 pounds. I am healthy mother of 3 children, but have been struggling to balance some issues I believe are hormone related (hairloss/libido/mood/energy). My annual bloodwork shows my thyroid to be within normal range according to my physician (T3: 30.%, T4: 7.4 UG/DL, T7: 2.19, TSH: .6 UIU/ML), low vitamin D (currently 58 after supplementing 4000iu daily for one year. Prior to starting supplement was 21). My diet has been primarily Paleo for the past 5 years. I am working at transitioning to less meat and adding in limited grains and legumes. I am currently on day 4 of your 7 day detox and just purchased the daily support and greens powder, I plan to try starting my day this way following my detox. Despite years of attempting to get what I need from food. I need something that works! Thank you for your podcasts, I have really enjoyed them! Bonnie

I hoped you enjoyed the show and I can't wait to bring you Part 2 tomorrow - I'll talk with you then!

337: Dry Cracked Hands, Knee Pain, Vitamin Dosage & Profuse Sweating (HouseCall) Jan 08, 2017

Show notes

We're back with our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend!

Here are today's community questions:

Jeni: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question regarding two of my boys. One is sixteen years old, the other is 7. Both suffer from super dry, cracked hands. They play with basketballs and footballs regularly, which seems to make their fingers spit and crack even more. It is extremely painful for them. Is there anything I can try that is natural, or anything I should be looking out for? We have tried them sleeping with cotton gloves with different things on their hands. That doesn't seem to help at all. Their doctors have prescribed steroid cream which I am against, but, again have tried. That didn't even touch the problem so after two weeks we stopped that. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Deb: Over the years I have exercised, danced and ran up and down stairs caring for my family. I have gardened or purchased most of our plant based foods from local farms. But now at age 63, I have experienced trouble with my right knee for about 3 years which flairs up whenever I used the steps, stand to long washing dishes or sit to long watching TV. When I get up in the morning so my knee hasn't been supporting weight, all is well until I use the steps. I am now about 30 lbs over weight and know that if I could lose the extra weight it will probably help but am limited as to what I can do. What could you suggest?

Ray S: I saw that you are giving away free bottles of vitamin this month and i know I should be taking it. Could you tell much how much though? Does it matter my age or weight? Does it matter what kind?

Andrew C: Thank you for all you do. I'm a long time listener, but just writing in for the first time… My question is that I am a profuse sweater and can't seem to control it. I sweat through my shirt everyday and if I exercise I leave a pool of sweat wherever I am. Is this genetic and can I do anything about it? Thanks for your help!

Thank you for submitting your questions this week and I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way!

336: White Spots on Nails, Shadowing, Discounts & Spasms (HouseCall) Jan 07, 2017

Show notes

After a great start to the year reviewing many of the most popular topics for achieving your health, weight loss, and anti-aging goals, we're now going to answer our first community questions on today's Cabral HouseCall!

Let's get started!

Matthew: Hello Dr. Cabral I love listening to your podcast. I know that you can tell things about your health by looking at your nails, but what do white marks on my finger nails mean. Ive read it could be an iron deficiency but I wanted to know what you thought. Thanks.

Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral! My name is Alexandra. I've asked questions on your podcast in the past, and I keep up with your podcasts and Instagram posts daily. Thank you for putting all of your information out there for people like me! I've learned so much. You're one of the only people I've listened to who has the view on health and wellness as I aspire to have! I recently just graduated and am going back to school to complete a nutrition program, but want to practice holistically and have an integrative approach. Do you allow people to shadow in your practice? I would love to be able to sit in on one consultation, specifically pertaining to nutrition. I feel as if I would learn so much, probably more than any kind of 'clinical' rotation I would ever have in school. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks for your time, Alex

Alana & Mark: Hello Stephen Cabral & team! My husband and I have both ordered your Parasite Protocol in the past and are seriously contemplating ordering 2 of your Genetic DNA Wellness Packages and 2 of your Food Sensitivity Testing Packages- however we know you offer discounts once a month on different things. As we are both listeners to your podcasts, will there be any discounts coming up on either of those tests we could use? We believe in investing in our health, for knowledge in this case truly is power, yet we want to do so wisely. Thank you, Alana & Mark

Emily: Hello Dr. Cabral.. I'm writing to ask you what I can do to help my boyfriend of 3 years.. long story short... he has a brain condition that's extremely rare, called palatal myoclonus. After years of no answers a Dr found nerves pressing in his brain, in the trigiminal region. He has has awful jaw and face spasms, painful head pressure, clicking in the ears, head fogginess, headaches upon waking etc..he has been through the ringer.. seen over 35 doctors and even had brain surgery 4 months ago. There are so many symptoms for this problem.. but his main issue is constant head pressure and pain. I don't know why I'm writing other than desperation or even really asking, just wondering if there's any type of pain relief treatment you could recommend. I'm an every day listener of your podcast and I really respect your work. Any response is greatly appreciated Thank you Emily

Thank you everyone for tuning in and I'll be back tomorrow answering more of your questions!
