Check out today’s questions:
Andres: Hi I have a benign brain tumor located neear the small brain and vision nerve. Doctors country remove it. Is it possible to not make it grow? Or completely vanish it ?Kind regards, Andres
Anabel: Hello, I hope you’re well. My name is Anabel, I’m 26 and I’ve been officially diagnosed with POTS for about a year and a half now. I was a very healthy child growing up but when I was 14, I received the HPV vaccine and my body has never been the same. When I was 24, I became increasingly more fatigued, I felt my heart was going to come out of my chest and caffeine and alcohol made me land in the ER with a resting heart rate of 180bpm. I’d like to know how to get rid of POTS once and for all. I’d just like to go hiking and dancing with out feeling like I’m going to pass out and I’d like to stop feeling like a burden and nuisance. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to help.
Jess: I struggle with having a bad gag reflex, which has affected my life in numerous ways such as taking pills, getting x rays at the dentist, and also getting a Strep test has always been absolutely impossible for me. I can’t even tongue scrape because I immediately gag when the scraper goes towards the back half of my tongue. I also want to be able to take all the supplements I’d like, but I can only deal with so many pills in one day because of this. I’m just curious if you have any thoughts as to why someone’s reflex may be more sensitive than others.
Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I’m someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven’t yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms – neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I’ve had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite.
Victoria: Hey Cabral, I’ve been thinking of doing a gallbladder cleanse as I’ve been experiencing pain on my right side that radiates to my back. I’ve read that could be gallstones. I’ve done one of the gallbladder flushes before and had about 120+ stones come out. The problem is I’ve been reading that these may not be gallstones and may just be the olive oil and lemon combination instead. Have you read research on this? And do you believe that they are gallstones?
Megan:Hey Dr Cabral, thanks so much for your wealth of information. As a certified health coach for 7 years, you’ve helped me expand my knowledge and I’m now taking the IHP level 1 course to dive deeper. Love learning it all! Was curious if you could touch of fulvic and humic acid. I searched the podcast to only see 1 show. I’ve been hearing of them lots lately with regards to their anti-viral activity, nutrient uptake and microbiome boosting ability. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks again for all you do! Megan
