HouseCall: Breatharian, Hemosidren & Melasma, Thyroid & Pregnancy, High Protein Diets, Viruses During 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!

Dar: I am of south Asian decent and find it interesting that some of the stories my dad has told me about religious (I think they are called yogis in india) who lived by the village he grew up in, regularly only used to eat food once or twice a month due to religious reasons. How is this possible and what are your views on that? It does not sound like that could be healthy.

Courtney: Hello I’ve been dealing with melasma and hemosidren and I also have breast implant scars. I was wondering if you know the causes of the hemosidren and melasma? Also I was wondering if you knew natural ways to get rid of them??Thanks!!

Cass: Hi Doctor Cabral,  Im a IHP level 2 Student and have a few questions. I have ran the big 5 in Australia. I have had stage 6 adrenal exhaustion and hypothyroid for at least 10 years. I also have a history of hyperthyroid as it switches between the two. No thyroid antibodies. Low sex hormones all round with a little higher oestrogen not high. Low DHEA of 2.1, TSH 4.57. I’ve done 4x EN detox, CBO, Parasite Cleanse. Take DNS, natural calm, zinc, B vit, melatonin, Thyroid support, adrenal soothe, adrenal energy, daily pro biotic, digestive enzymes and oestrogen balance 1/3 cap in my luteal phase.  My cycle is between 26 to 38 days. I am 5.7 145 pounds, exercise every other day and have a active job and lifestyle. Super clean eater and only eat wild caught fish and organic fruit and veg. I have lots of time for myself and practice lots of self care. I know that my mindset is what holds me back due programming from my parents and not believing I’m enough but I’m really working on it.  First question, should I be doing the FM detox when my body adrenals are exhausted? second question, I have been doing the 21 days weight loss diet and have not lost any wight at all. I put on a 6 pounds in two weeks when on holidays in October and have not lost it since. Should I have doing a weight loss diet if my thyroid is already under functioning?  I am hoping to fall pregnant ASAP as I’m 36 and time is not on my side. I have been following all your protocols for over 18 months I look forward to hearing your recommendations. 

Jacquie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for the knowledge you share on your podcast, it has truly been life changing. I have a question regarding my brother. He tried a high protein diet and was feeling ill. Turns out that one of his kidneys is very small (they think he was born that way). Looks like he has only one good functioning kidney and the high protein diet was too much on his body. He is off the high protein diet, is now more open to a balanced diet and is already feeling better. My question is what can he do (other than the daily foundational support) to further support his body now knowing this? Would you recommend normal protein diet or one that is lower in protein? He is 26 yrs old and otherwise seems healthy. Thank you again for all that you do.

Courtney: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all that you do. I recently found out that I’m pregnant and I’m so thankful for all of your information. I was wondering if L-Lysine is safe to take during pregnancy. I have herpes and I’m wanting to do everything I can not to pass it along to my baby. My doctor recommended that I take valtrex during my last trimester of pregnancy to prevent the baby from getting it. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a more holistic approach? Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
