HouseCall: Rain Water Collection, Thinning Hair, Esophageal Cancer, CBD Digestion, Child Seizures, Fatigue Testing, Pyroluria Test, Healthy Gut Protocol

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!

Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all that you do! I’ve listened to your recommendations on water filters and alkalizing water. However, I have a question about rainwater. I live in rural Australia where we have a rainwater tank for our drinking water. I know rainwater in naturally acidic… is this necessarily a “bad thing”? Ours is around pH6. I know it’s not the acidity of the food/ drink that’s the issue, it’s the way our body responds and processes it. If you think rainwater would be too acidic, how can we rectify it? Would a pinch of (aluminum-free) bicarb do the trick, or would that have other negative implications? Thanks!

Susanne: Hi! I am interested in sorting out my health, Im struggling with fatigue, anxiety, stomach problems and thinning hair. I am a 26-year-old woman. However, I live in Spain. Is it possible to take the health tests from Spain? With shipment and legislation and everything. In advance, thanks for the replay. Kind regards, Susanne

Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral, I was recently diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. The PetScan says it has not metastasized and that it is at the base of the esophagus. My questions are many:

#1. How did I get this? We have no family history of any cancer; my job is like most people these days basically typing onto a computer screen and on the phone all day. I work out of my home. I am considered an obese 56-year-old male at 6’1” and 235 lbs. Now I am down 25+ lbs. to 209 so am simply considered overweight. I have never smoked, only drink alcohol occasionally and have a relatively healthy diet consisting of no soda or junk food, good home-cooked meals, occasional sweets, espressos, and teas. I have been on and off at the gym over the years as it never seems to produce results.

#2. What can I do from a naturopathic angle to fight this cancer?

#3. Understanding everyone is different and you cannot diagnose my specific case, is radiation, chemo and surgery the only answer? I watched “Cancer Can Be Killed” on Amazon last night and they discuss “Hyperthermia,” “Ozone Therapy” and naturopathic dietary alternatives that sound a lot better than the traditional big 3.

#4. How proven are these other modalities? If I was your brother or father what would you suggest? Thanks for all you do Doctor!! Hoping you can provide some answers sooner than later, Anonymous

Travee: I have been taking your CBD oil for 25 days now. It gives me indigestion. I rarely get indigestion. Is there anything I can do for that Oh and I love, love, love your podcast? I am learning so much and slowly getting healthier

Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, My friend’s son is a little over a year old and has been suffering in and off, from seizures. He has not had vaccinations so she’s ruled that out, but the doctors cannot seem to figure out why he continues to have the seizures. Do you have any ideas as to what can cause this and what she can do about it? Thank you so much for your help. Jenett

Krissy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new follower of your podcast and as a podcast fiend I have many episodes to get through still! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for my current health situation. I’ve been dealing with gut issues ever since having an infection and taking Cipro while living in Guatemala a few years ago. After returning to Canada I was diagnosed with leaky gut, Hashimotos and have since been treated for Candida, Klebsiella (multiple types), SIBO, and various other overgrowths. After my last visit with my ND we agreed it was time for another SIBO treatment, this time making sure to emphasize prokinetics. The issue I have is that every time I start to treat SIBO I get such severe Adrenal Dysfunction… I wake up during the night and cannot fall back asleep for hours.. and am incredibly fatigued and weak feeling throughout the day… as well as having a reduced tolerance for stress. I wonder if this is because the treatment also reduces good bacteria and thus essential nutrients and minerals? Or is it due to a sudden increased ability to produce my own thyroid hormone and now my medication is too high? My ND does not want to test my thyroid levels every week as she thinks they will be all over the place anyways throughout the treatment. Have you ever worked with someone with these symptoms? I appreciate your feedback.

Toni: Hi Stephen! I have been listening to your podcast for a while now and have finally decided to write in. I have just been diagnosed with Pyroluria and undermethylation and couldn’t seem to find any information on your podcast search page in regards to both. I am from Australia and not sure if this is a new term for it here or where I should turn to look for more information on the topic. Hopefully, you can shine some light on the diagnosis for me! Thank you, Toni

Christine: Hi, do you still offer the healthy gut protocol (the powder AND probiotic) as a package? I bought it in September and am recommending it to a friend but cannot find it. I only see it in your store as sold separately. Thank you.

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!
