HouseCall: Low Pancreatic Elastase, Tetanus, Detox Options, Vitality Tests, High Cholesterol & Berberine
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!
Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain low pancreatic elastase on stool test. I have no GI symptoms or diagnosed disease, but out of curiosity ran comprehensive stool analysis, where pancreatic enzymes were low, butyrate producing bacteria were low and a positive h.pylori was found. Can those two be related? What specific food & supplements can I take to increase pancreatic elastase when dealing with h.pylori? Also, what’s your stand on clostridium butyricum as a probiotic supplement to increase butyrate production?
Thank you
Patrick: Hey dr hope all is well. I know theres certain things you don’t like to talk about for certain reasons but i was wondering if you could give some information on getting a tetanus shot. Im 50 and know Its been a while since i have had one. Thanks keep up the great work
Lauren: (Product Review) have you heard of the sanctuary holistic wellness detox? Is it a good option for a detox? Is it normal to see parasites? Or is that too extreme of a detox?
Josh: Good Morning, Re-listening to latest mindpump episode with Dr Stephen Cabral 2332 and he mentions 10 vitality tests but only mentions one that I can find (A full body MRI). Looking to see what the complete list of 10 vitality tests are and if there is any content where this is posted to review. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Josh
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, not overweight, moderate exercise x3/week. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine’s been high since my twenties. I just got my bloods back and total cholesterol is 8.3, HDL 1.5 , LDL6.4, Triglycerides normal. Lipoprotein ratio is 0.89. I have always eaten high carb, lots of sugar. My doctor has insisted on putting me on Statins since an ultrasound of my carotic arteries shows minor very soft plaque, lining within normal limits. I have now cut out sugar and added more fish, meat eggs, Omega 3, magnesium and vitamin D. Now I’m worried that the increased protein especially meat and eggs will raise my cholesterol level further. Would Berberine help for cholesterol? I often have low blood sugar so does that matter? Many thanks in advance!
