Summary

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:

Cassie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly enjoy your content and am hoping to start your IHP curriculum within the next year. My question is about the safety of Cyperus Rotundus oil. It is noted to reduce hair growth when paired with hair removal methods such as waxing or laser. However, I have seen a study mentioning that its effects on hair growth are due to it's antiandrogenic properties, which would make me think it would only be beneficial in removing hair growth that was directly due to androgenic hair. Do you know anything about Cyperus Rotundus oil and its effectiveness or safety? I am always cautious about remedies, natural or otherwise that could affect hormones as I have had major hormone imbalances in the past and know that my body is sensitive to hormone fluctuations. Curious if this oil truly does have antiandrogenic properties or not, I am reading through some of the studies to try and understand but would appreciate your expertise. Thank you!

Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I've been seeing all over social media where posters show studies indicating Older fathers (35+) are associated with increased birth risks/defects. Any truth to this or is it because some older men lead unhealthy lifestyles?

HC: Thank you for sharing your wealth of informaiton to HELP so MANY Of US!!! Do hydrogen tablets provide all the health benefit claims? I cannot afford home hydrogen water system and looking for alternatives. At home we use Berkey counter system as I take totally trust your recommendations. THANK YOU!!!

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter is 10 and gets acid reflux. It's noticeable on her teeth and she complains about it after certain foods every now and then. We have had a stool test done here in Australia which was negative for H.pilori and have seen a paediatrician but they recommended putting something down her throat to have a look, but if we can I'd like to avoid that as she has already had to go under for a surgery before so I'm not keen on her going under again. My partner and his family get acid reflux. Over time my partners has gotten better but he has really brittle teeth so I'm wanting to get on top of it while my daughter is young to avoid this happening to her. Would really appreciate your advice

Thank you so much!

Jackie: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all that you do. I have been using for 10 days and the very intense itching/flushing (why I took it) has become much more frequent and intense? Typically a warmer room or high stress event could cause me to get this deep internal itch/flushing sensation, now it is happening without a distinct trigger. If I sweat with a "ginger bath or cardio" symptoms are gone for about 2 hours. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

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!
