Summary
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…
Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would really appreciate it if you would provide your thoughts on dry fasting. I tried to search for previous shows where you spoke of this but couldn't find one where you spoke of dry fasting in detail, it's pros, cons and if there is ever a time where it should be used. Some say its dangerous and should never be done and others think it has its uses. I have a lot of cysts/lipomas (not sure which one) all over my body and a podcast I was listening to said drying fasting might work to get rid of them because when the body is dehydrated it will look for dysfunctional cells, tissues etc. to dissolve and extract water from. What do you think about all this? Thank you for answering my question, hope you are having a great day!
Gail: Hi Dr. C! Thank you so much for all that you offer to us humans seeking to learn and find health and balance in our lives. I am currently going through the program to become certified as an IHP level 1 and then level 2 health coach to add to my work as an acupuncturist and I'm so excited to have finally found the knowledge I have been looking for. I am curious to hear your thoughts about Rifaximin to treat SIBO. My friend was diagnosed by her ND with SIBO and Rifaximin is part of her protocol to treat it. Thank you for your wisdom on this and so many other health-related topics!
Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what could cause burning/pin sensations in the hands and fit ? Tested negative on h pylori and candida. Tested positive for mold toxicity and possible sibo.
Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what would cause someone to wake up about every 2 hours at night to frequently urinate?
Anonymous: Hi there! Thank you for all the great work that you do! It has made a huge impact on my life. I have been working on improving my gut health for almost 4 months now and I have noticed some improvements. I realized that i am extremely sensitive to lectins. I have always been but i never knew they had a name. So what i'm wondering is, can i still use oils from lectin-heavy nuts or seeds on my skin? Things like sunflower or chia seed oil? I am also trying to resolve a histamine issue that I have which came as a result of my leaky gut. So while i have eliminated high histaminr foods for a while, i am noy sure if i can still use them topically e.g with avocado hair masks. I look forward to your insights!
Jade: Hello, I have recently come out of having 4 months of antibiotics in hospital, plus have also come off my contraception; the hormone coil. Obviously this has sent me hrmones and metabolism into chaos, I feel so puffy and bloated and lethargic. I am such a healthy person, eat well and exercise and I can barely get out of bed! I am about to start a liver cleanse, but would you recommned this and can you suggest anything else to help? Thanks so much
