HouseCall: Nerve Damage & Surgery, High Histamines & Gut Health, Weight Gain & Inflammation, Lysine & Shingles, Healthy Pregnancy
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!
Kellie: Hi! This might an odd question. I am a 38 yo female and have had chronic compartment syndrome since 2007 due to college soccer. It is in both legs and all 4 compartments. I had fasciotomy surgery to open all 4 compartments in both legs February 2014. In my follow up appointment after surgery I explained to the surgeon that my skin was numb above my left inside ankle. He said the nerves will grow back over time. The skin is still numb 10+ years later. I can feel when pressure is applied but just a weird tingle when the skin is touched. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, hope? Thanks for all you do!
Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral – Thank you for all you do! I was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis. Keeping my histamine levels down is important. I want to try and work on my gut but a lot of the recommendations for this are high histamine (probiotics, bone broth, kefir, etc.) How else can I try to improve gut health and not have it impact my histamine levels? Thanks!
Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral – I followed your 7 day detox and I lost 20 lbs. I know I have a lot of inflammation but this seemed like a lot of weight to lose in such a short time. Can you please help me understand how this happens and what I can do to keep it off? I continued eating a health diet after the detox but gained it all back. I can gain 5 lbs overnight and have put on 30-40 lbs in less than a year. My thyroid has been checked (even functional ranges) and it’s ok. Please let me know your thoughts as I am struggling with weight and not eating enough to gain this much. I am currently taking fish oil to help with inflammation. Thanks!
Cheryl: Hello I know that it is helpful to use L Lysine supplements when you have shingles but is it also helpful to use Super Lysine ointment on shingles blisters?
Ghazal: Hello, Can you help me with pregnancy when all has failed but I still have hope!
