HouseCall:
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…
Let’s get started!
Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do and your amazing, well researched supplement line. What do you think about oral supplementation of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for joint support as we age and things like osteoarthritis? Do you think there are better things to take, or if we are taking/doing the basic things you recommend, is this worth adding to the mix, or is it a waste of money? Thank you!
Ali: Hello, I have a son who was born with multiple heart defects- AV Canal, mitral valve prolapse, and coarctation of the aorta. He had 3 open heart surgeries before the age of 1 to fix these issues, and by the hands of some amazing surgeons and the grace of God, he is now 16 years old and hasn’t needed another surgery in the past 15 years. But because of his heart history, it has been recommended that anytime he has dental work done- even just a routine cleaning, that he take an antibiotic an hour beforehand. I cringe every time I have to give it cause I know of the ill effects. I’ve heard you say you don’t want to take an antibiotic unless it’s life saving… would you consider this one of those times? Or do you think it’s overly conservative to take an antibiotic for prevention?
Anonymous: hi Dr Cabral. I have a Moringa tree growing in my backyard. Just wondering how you recommend to use the leaves and are they able to be eaten daily? I have dried the leaves before made a powder. Would this be recommended to have daily in a smoothie? Have you also heard of soursop and using leaves to make a tea? Thank you ☺️
Anonymous: hi Dr. Cabral. I am more of the vata body type and play sport (tennis/ netball) at night time a couple nights a week. I sometimes have trouble winding down, I love these sports as I work from home and love getting out to see people. Do you have any tips on how to wind down and what would be the typical workout week for a vata – pita body type wanting to gain muscle but not overdo it. Would three days gym, two days light Pilates or yoga plus walking everyday and sport be too much? Thank you
Patrick: Hey dr. What do you think about shockwave therapy and do you recommend any of the ones that are available online thanks
