HouseCall: Stress & Digestive Issues, Spinach & Kidney Stones, Child Awake at Night, High Alkaline Phosphate Levels, Loss of Smell
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:
Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I perhaps have the stump Cabral of the day. (I know this will be 12+ weeks until answered and that’s ok) A little context for me (chronic constipation, leaky gut, and bacterial overgrowth, tons of gas and bloating) I did the FM detox followed by the CBO Protocol with Mastic Gum (because of C.Diff) and the Citricidal Drops followed by the CBO finisher. (I followed it all to a tee) It helped some but definitely did not fix the issues. 5 1/2 years of this now. I’ve been working with your team and they’ve been very helpful, but I think everyone is out of answers of what to do next. I know it is stressed based (been doing sauna, relaxation exercises, bineural beats, etc) Where do I go from here? P.S. perhaps ileocecal valve dysfunction? Thank you! Gary
Maria: Is it true that kale and spinach cause kidneys stones.
Alexandra: Hi, first I’d like to say thank you. I’ve worked with one of your health coaches and the results are truly amazing. I am writing to you today at our daughter. Our 2.5 year old had split nights (up for 2-3 hours and just can’t sleep. Mostly calm) at around 18 months old and lasted almost 8 weeks straight. We thought it was a sleep pressure thing and did all the things to try to fix it, but in the end we had to just ride it out and we think it was developmental. The split nights have now started back up. My husband and I both work and with having a 5 month old, split nights with our 2.5 year old are extremely exhausting. She had the flu and we did have to give her Motrin to keep her comfortable. I usually let her ride out the fevers, but she was miserable. Anyway, looking for help ! Thanks
Geoff: Hi Dr. Cabral! Have you had any experience with high alkaline phosphate levels? My levels have been above the normal range (as high as 156, currently 135) since May of 2022. I’m 44, active, and in good shape, 5’10” 152 lbs. I’m sure I’m leaving out vital background info, sorry! I started TRT (cypionate injections after about 10 years of taking Clomid) around the same time as the high readings of the alkaline phosphate. Would that have anything to do with it? My PCP sent me to have an ultrasound that looked at my kidneys, liver, and gall bladder which came back normal. His suggestion is to keep an eye on it, but I’d prefer to take action if there is anything I can do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you do! You are a real beacon of light for all of us!
Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m a Registered Dietitian currently going through your IHP Levels 1 and 2. It’s been a great learning experience so far and I am very thankful. I had the virus back in November 2020 (the OG virus) and my main symptom was loss of smell along with a severe headache between my eyes and above my nose. Over the past 2+ years, my smell has slowly returned but is not nearly the same as it was prior to losing it. Most people I know had a return of smell after a few weeks. I’m not too sure why I have it so severe. Do you have any
