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:
Louise: Dr. Cabral. I am so very grateful to have found you. You and your team do outstanding work, from your clinical expertise, to your podcasts, to your excellently laid-out website and user-friendly instructions for treatment protocols. I am starting my 7-day detox and will continue on with your candida protocol. Here is my question: I tend to have soft, peeling fingernails that break easily. What do you think about collagen, silica, and biotin supplementation?
Ruchi: Hi, I am looking for children candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol for my son. My 6 year old son is suspected to have candida yeast overgrowth and based on reviews from other moms, I am hoping that your protocol will help him. I am based in Netherlands and may not be allowed products from US. Do you have any branch in Europe from where we can order? Please advice. Thank you. Kind regards, Ruchi
Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled with constipation for years now, and after trying several protocols, elimination diets, x-rays, etc. I still can't figure out the root cause. My question is this: Can a tight hip flexor or abdominal muscle impair digestive function? When I palpate my lower left quadrant, it feels dense and ropey, and I can't tell if I am feeling a strained muscle or part of the sigmoid colon. Thanks so much for any help you can provide! I love your podcast. I've learned so much and continue to learn more each day.
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for answering my question on HSVII and the CBO protocol. I am early in my 2nd pregnancy and wondering if the high/full spectrum vitamin C, full spectrum magnesium and reishi powder are safe throughout pregnancy. I take your Orthomolecular/Innate Iron prenatal combo. If so, at what dosages? Also after a emergency cesarean first pregnancy I have contemplated a planned cesarean this go around (never thought I'd say that, as I wanted a natural birth) however I also have a fear of possible outbreak the time of birth. Any recommendations for delivery? OB wanted me on valtrex 2 weeks before delivery which I never took because my baby came a month early. Less important, but curious, if the virus can be eradicated why would arginine foods still sometimes trigger it?
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! Accounting to the Arginine / Lysine List on episode 273 someone with HSVII should also avoid blueberries? This is one of the foods that i have every day in my smoothie as one of your high recommendations. Pumpkin seeds are another healthy go-to I have a couple times a week and I even opt for the sprouted pumpkin seeds. Any suggestions?
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question linking the gut, SIBO and immunity. Stool tests have shown that I have 'nil' lactobacilli and bifidobacterium. I also have a leaky gut (lactulose recovery 1.5% and mannitol recovery 19.6%) and an immune deficiency (igG subset deficiency). My question is - how do I restore balance in my gut when I don't seem to tolerate any probiotics due to relapsing SIBO (I've tried many). The only way I seem to keep SIBO in check is to stay on maintenance herbal protocols, prokinetics and strict(ish) diet. I know this isn't helping to heal the gut though ....yet all my symptoms (eg stomach spasms, nausea etc) return when I try to broaden diet or introduce probiotics, fermented foods etc. It's a vicious cycle. How would you suggest moving forward to heal the gut?
Andrew: Thank you so much for everything you do for us and humanity. You are an amazing soul. Quick question for you regarding a friend of mine. She bruises extremely easy all over and has pretty severe menstrual cycles. No birth control pretty healthy. I suggested she take the adrenal + hormone lab. She also was recently on acutain for acne until I was finally able to get her to question it enough to where she ended up stopping at less than a month of use. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!!
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!

| 0:14.3 | Naturopathic Doctor, excited to get started with our weekend house calls. This is where I sit down |
| 0:20.7 | with your questions, literally reading them right off a word document on my computer. |
| 0:25.4 | My team is nice enough to grab them all from the Ask Cabral webpage where people submit them. |
| 0:31.6 | And I literally just sit down, I kind of digest the questions and |
| 0:34.6 | read them to you of course if they're not too long and then I'm happy to give you my |
| 0:38.3 | answers from a clinical perspective what I see every day every week in my practice but not only that I mean I can only see obviously so many people every week |
| 0:46.8 | But the nice thing is that also I get to read over I would say at least 50 other labs a week from 50 other people right and so all those other people might be ordering from the online store |
| 0:56.8 | They might just you know a health coach might be asking me questions whatever it might be and and I really me reading functional medicine lab tests is |
| 1:04.4 | almost a dream come true or not almost it is that's you know kind of like when I got |
| 1:09.6 | sick if I could have chosen the ideal job for me would be to help others in my same position. |
| 1:16.4 | I just didn't really believe as a 17-18-year-old kid from Medford, Massachusetts that that would ever happen. I just didn't believe |
| 1:24.4 | that that would be the cards. And you couldn't even convince me that at 23, 24 years old. It's just something |
| 1:30.3 | started to switch, you know, little by little I gained more experience. I, you know, |
| 1:35.0 | really moved up in my field in terms of nutrition, nutritional consulting, |
| 1:39.1 | exercise, personal training, strength and conditioning, |
| 1:42.5 | and then I said, okay, well, you know, |
| 1:44.2 | I just did it in this field. |
| 1:46.0 | Why not do it in the other fields |
| 1:48.4 | that I love as well, which is essentially, |
