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:

Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral! If no one has told you today you are making a huge difference in the world :). Thank you . My Apo-a is 35.5, and my cardiologist said that I could take a B Complex and that would help lower it. I know you cant give any medical advice, but I know in the past I have head you say its genetic so I was wondering if it was you or your family would you take Activated B Complex to try to lower your Apo-a? By the way- I started taking Proteolytic Enzymes with out changes in my (generally good) diet and exercise, and my LDL went down about 15% even though my cardiologist said supplements like that dissolve in the stomach and would never make it to where they need to to work…. Another reason we all trust your advice ! Thanks again have a great day!

Sarah: I’ve been dealing with gut issues for about five years, mainly bloating. I suspected gluten might be a factor, so I had testing done. My bloodwork showed I carry the celiac gene, but I tested negative for celiac, and an endoscopy also confirmed no celiac disease. However, both of my children have been diagnosed with celiac—one has symptoms and the other is asymptomatic. I recently discovered your gluten/dairy digestive enzyme and was wondering—would it be okay to take something like that before eating gluten? Or should I be avoiding gluten altogether just in case I could still have celiac or develop it? I’m also assuming that people with confirmed celiac shouldn’t take gluten enzymes and instead need to strictly avoid gluten. Just looking for some guidance, thank you!

Sherrie: Good day Mr. Cabral, First off thanks for changing mine and my families lives! I was wondering whats the best route to take if you have black/bags under your eyes and you are a 33 year old female? It happens quite often and I was wondering what I should to do fix it? I am assuming running one of the labs first and going from there but which one should I take and what is some general guidelines to help with the issue. Thanks again for always having advice/guidance.

Mitchell: Hi Dr Cabral! My sister who is 26 recently got diagnosed with Primary sclerosing cholangitis. They told her that it is untreatable but we know that they claim that about a lot of treatable diseases. What advice/protocols/nutrition and supplements would you give to your sister to help tackle this disgnosis? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wrote in a few months ago about what I thought was a cherry angioma, but mentioned it was growing rapidly despite trying a number of ways to remove it myself… I finally reluctantly went to the dermatologist after you and my practitioner suggested it and found out it was a benign pyogenic granuloma. It was removed very quickly and easily. I researched a bit myself, but I’m curious what causes them in your opinion and how to avoid more? I do have a handful of small cherry angioma’s. I wonder if the two are connected somehow? I’m a 36 year old female and stay on top of my health with seasonal detoxes, Mediterranean diet, and a healthy mindful lifestyle. Thanks for all you do! I love being able to ask you questions and follow-ups anytime they pop up! Many blessings to you!
