HouseCall: Poor Air Quality, Zinc Supplements, Methane SIBO & CBO Protocol, Cooking with Microwaves, Banning Ashwagandha

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!

BM: Hi Dr. Cabral! Would you have any health recommendations (how to help our bodies and especially respiratory system and lungs) for those people (children of 6 years old and adults) who live in areas with constant outdoor air pollution from PM10, PM2.5, Ozone (gases from vehicles, volatile organic compounds)? Specifically, when US AQI ranges from Moderate (51) to Unhealthy (139) and Very Unhealthy (263). We already have indoor air filters with HEPA, keep doors/windows shut, limit being outdoors especially when US AQI is too high.

Sheena: Hi Dr . C! Thx for taking me question. I’m taking Equilife’s Balanced Zinc but live in Canada and currently looking for a comparable one that I can find here. The only one that I found has similar ingredients with zinc traacs biglycinate chelate and copper traacs biglycinate is a thyroid supplement but its also has iodine, ashwaghanda, selenium, l-tyrosine, manganese traacs chelate and bacopa extract (not sure what that is). what are your thoughts on this supplement? anything I should avoid? thanks in advance for answering this and for all that you do!

Sasha: CBO protocol seems great for any yeast/fungal or bacterial overgrowth. I’m curious how effective it is for people diagnosed with methane SIBO/IMO with archaea and constipated. I have read that allicin is the most effective herb to kill archaea but CBO protocol only has berberine and oregano oil. Wondering if people suffering from methane SIBO should have an additional herbal antimicrobial like allicin added while following the rest of the CBO protocol. Thanks!

Anonymous: Hi, I’m wondering about usage of microwaves, I’ve heard you talk about it on HouseCalls and I understood that microwaving destroys nutrients in food, changes the molecules etc., but asking ChatGPT (and having a long conversation about it), it kept giving me research on how microwaving is actually better than other cooking methods because it supposedly preserves more nutrients, doesn’t change the molecular structure of food etc. This made me very confused on the subject.. would you mind explaining what you think based on all this research? Was it paid by manufacturers? If you could dive deep into it and make it into a full episode, that would be great.. Thanks so much for all your work and help!

Andy: Appreciate you answering questions! My question is what is your thoughts on Denmark banning Ashwagandha?

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!
