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!
John: Hello! Thank you so much for all the great teaching and helpful and healing information I’ve been listening for a couple years now and find your approach very balanced and inspiring! I am 37 years old 6’2 and weigh around 213lbs. I work my own business doing drywal work and wear a Fitbit that says I am usually doing around 20k steps a day. I just started the fatlossity program and I’m excited to see what it can do! I am wondering with such a physical labor job what is the balance to working out and resting? And what kind of macros such as protein grams should be my goal? According to my RenPho scale my body fat is 29%! BMR 1815, BMI 26.9, muscle mass 140lbs and has been for some consistent time. How do I loose the body fat and gain muscle while working so hard every day
Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral, my IgG and IgM are low. Are there common reasons for this? I recently did your minerals & metals test and it said I have elevated levels of aluminum (.51) and mercury (.01). Could this be contributing? Does being pregnant affect the minerals results of this test at all? Also, I have mild Scoliosis and was wondering if you knew of any internal side effects that are common for people who deal with this condition? Could this be contributing to the low immune system issue? I am also wondering if there is anything I can do to excrete excess estrogen while pregnant or breastfeeding? I got melasma with my last pregnancy and breastfed for 21 months…my melasma has gotten progressively worse. I know there’s not a lot you can do to detox when pregnant. Thanks!
Hannah: Hi, Dr. Cabral! You’re truly a life saver. With more space in the description, I’d go on to say more but you and your team truly saved my life and I’m forever grateful….here’s my question- I’ve tried your heavy metal detox but I always have reactions to the large amount of chlorella. I can have some in the DFVB but the heavy metal detox sets me over the edge. All of your protocols are absolutely amazing but sadly I need a replacement for a heavy metal detox that doesn’t use chlorella, or at least smaller amounts. Does the Coseva Advanced TRS work as well as advertised? If you don’t recommend that one, is there any others you would suggest? Thank you so much!
Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, what would you recommend for a dysfunctional ileocecal valve? I seem to have occasional pain or pressure on my lower right quadrant. Ileocecal release maneuvers and heated castor oil packs (which i use with dmso cream) seems to help relieve pain there,. I have been diagnosed with dyspepsia by my GI, and I seem to have SIBO-like symptoms. I have tried the CBO protocol but I still seem quite a bit of stomach pain and difficulties, especially if I eat the wrong foods. I should mention that I had a Parathyroidectomy about 2 months ago if thats relevant. Is there anything you can suggest or would this require some surgery? Thanks
Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I wrote in yesterday regarding a dysfunctional ileocecal valve with pain and possible sibo/gi issues caused by it. I had forgotten to ask if a Liver & Gallbladder flush would be advisable if the valve is impeding bowel flow. It would seem to me that such an issue could also hamper the elimination of gallstones. I have done 8 over the course about 4 years but I still have poor elimination. The last elimination didnt yield that many gallstones. Can you please advise? I also take chlorophyll pills & peppermint oil. Also, one last question – I sometimes take enteric coated proteolytic enzymes as I’ve heard that such ileocecal valve issues can be caused by scar tissue. I’m not sure that its helping and I sometimes notice pills in my stool especially when its watery
