HouseCall:
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:
B: Hi Dr Cabral – I take the Daily Fruit and Vegetable Blend, and I see it contains Camu Camu amongst other fruits which is high in Vitamin C. I didn’t see vitamin information on the Supplement Facts, and I was curious what would you estimate the DFV to provide as far as Vitamin C. Would you estimate it’s more than 100% of the daily recommended intake? Thanks for a great product.
Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! You are a blessing to all of us and are greatly appreciated!!!….. So, my son is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia on his newborn screening. His body can not properly break down protein. And he will have to be more of a vegetarian. But the problem is that he has always been a super picky and doesn’t like vegetables. Since he started eating solids the doctors told me to feed him what he will eat. (With his condition he can’t go a day without eating or he can go into a metabolic crisis). I have tried almost everything to get him to eat vegetables and he wants nothing to do with it. What can I do to get him to eat healthier? The doctors say that it’s a stage that some kids go through and he will grow out of it. Thank you again!!!
Noelle: Hello! Thank you for all you do – I am learning so much from your podcast in the short time since I discovered it, and am very grateful for the wisdom and resources that you provide. My question is regardinga recently discovered receding gum line on several teeth. I am 25 and do not have a history of dental issues (I had a root canal in high school, but that’s about it), though I do have chronic pain and a number of other random problems that I have been working through for a decade now. It was a bit of an alarming discovery, and I have been scouring the Internet attempting to discern how I might have caused this. What would be your primary recommendations to keep this from getting worse/improve it if that is at all possible?
Mallory: Hi Dr Cabral! I submitted a question a couple of months ago about mold/fungus in my sinuses, and your answer helped me so much! Thank you! I had a couple of follow-up questions. I’ve struggled with mold / fungal / bacteria overgrowth since I was a child (I had 4 sinus surgeries & was on almost constant antibiotics from the age of 4 to 12). I am 28 years old and am just now getting treatment for the root cause. Ochatroxin A was at 25 when last tested in Feb. Are you able to help me have an idea as to how long I may be detoxing for? I would love to start a family soon but I am currently seeing biofilm in my stool & urine every day, and have been for almost a year. I have pain in my lungs and anxiety while detoxing. I was strict with my diet for 2 months, but as I begin to introduce more foods, I feel pretty poor. My husband and I moved out of our 110 year old home that had visible mold to a 10 year old house. We did get the new house mold tested, and they assured us the house was mold free. We have since found small amounts of mold in the pantry and kitchen. We also brought some things over from the old house that could had mold spores in them, such as clothing. Should we get rid of that clothing? Are small amounts of mold spores okay if we have a good air purifier?
Amy: I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Root Cause Protocol (iron disregulation caused by copper/magnesium/ceruloplasmin imbalance) and if you’ve read the book. Thanks!
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am really interested in Ayurveda and I was wondering if there is histamine intolerance is connected to the Pitta dosha(based on the physical body type). If so, why are dry and astrigent foods usually recommended for pitta imbalance such as beans not recommended when you have histamine intolerance. I understand that these food lists should not be taken at face value and there is a lot more complexity to Ayurveda in general so I would love your input on it.
