HouseCall: High Cholesterol, Itchy Sinus Support, Children’s Wellness Book, Proteolytic Enzymes & Headaches, Tests for Pancreatic & Liver Health

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:

Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral. Thoughts on high cholesterol support. I know you covered this topic a lot but anything new that comes to mind? And what kind or protocol would you run over 2-3 months? I know omega3s are great. A good multi. But any others (food also).. in addition to diet improvement. Thanks!

Tom: Thoughts on sinus support.. itchiness both sides (left side a bit more). Would citridical drops help and how would I apply it on the nostrils, currently on Amlodipine and grapefruit is contraindicated. So is there another thing I could try. Thanks for all that you do.

Svetlana: Hello, Dr. Cabral. Have you thought about writing a children’s wellness book based on your teachings and the distress protocol? Mostly on the middle school level, since high school kids could comprehend the rain barrel effect. It would be great to have it for a homeschool science class and just in general for all the kids to start learning about how to take care of their body. I’m looking for a science/wellness/whole body and mind book that would be engaging for an 11 year old, but not full or standard allopathic recommendations. Do you know of one you could recommend? A lot of the children’s books on the market aren’t exactly what you have to offer. Thank you for all that you do.

Jill: Thanks Dr. Cabral for your accessibility in answering questions! Looking for your feedback on Proteolytic Enzymes. I began taking recently at the recommended dose and began having severe headaches that stretched into my lower neck and left shoulder. I thought it might be an allergic reaction or side effect. I stopped for a week and then began again with just 1 capsule a day and seem to tolerate that just fine. Have you seen reactions like this and do you think its ok for me to continue and/or even ramp up at some point and take the full dose?

Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral ~ I listen to your podcast every day, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and feedback! I am a 59-year-old post-menopausal female, a 27-year Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma survivor (my recurrence of melanoma occurred when I was pregnant at the age of 31). My mother passed at the age of 36 from pancreatic cancer; my dad passed at the age of 51 from lung cancer. I vist my dermatologist twice per year for skin checks, I avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day. I am a non-smoker, I exercise daily and I am in good health. Can you tell me if there are tests I should have performed regularly that will indicate the health of my pancreas and lungs? Is that something I should be concerned with? Are there other tests and/or indicators I should be aware of?

Thank you for tuning into today’s Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!
