Bree: Hi Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you for this podcast. I truly see it as an encyclopedia of natural medicine. I’ve found so much great information by searching the archives, but have a question that I couldn’t find an answer to: I wake up around 4am every night, and find it very difficult to go back to sleep. It’s very frustrating, and I don’t feel rested in the morning. Do you know what might be the reason this is happening? I go to bed around 9.30/10pm every night, have no trouble falling asleep, I follow a healthy (vegan) diet, don’t smoke and drink, and work out in the morning 5 times a week. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Ashley: Hello! I have found my way to this website in hopes of finding relief primarily from allergies. I’m not sure if this is the right place for that. My issues are severe enough that I see an Allergist but am still in a lot of pain that is keeping me from work and day to day activities. Please let me know if I am reaching out to the right place. Thank you, Ashley

Ales: Hello Dr.Cabral,I have a question regarding calcium. You’ve been talking about the high calcium content of almond milk. Isn’t majority of it calcium carbonate added to almond milk, not naturally occurring calcium from almonds? Isn’t calcium carbonate an unnatural form of calcium that you have been discouraging people from?

John: Hi Stephen, this is John. I live in the seaport in Boston Ma, and have been struggling with candida overgrowth. I’ve tired over and over to heal the issues but it always gets better then goes back to it’s original symptoms. What would be helpful is if you could put together a protocol for me to follow that would do the trick. I’ve listened to podcast 515 and some others, but it doesn’t explain the exact protocol with supplements. I have purchased some antifungals (oregano oil etc) and the HCL w/pepsin, probiotics, flora film, etc. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help!

Mateo: Greetings, im writing you because i’ve been suffering from a lot of symptoms all over my body, and recently i get my Organic Acids Test with positive for candidiasis. The thing is that my doctor didn’t explain very well the exam, and i want to have more clearness on this subject. Im writing from Colombia, so i wanted to know if there is any possibility to do an online appointment with you, and how much would it cost.
Thanks for the attention Mateo

Tracy: Hi! I had asked a question about fruit in the support group but would love to hear an even more in depth answer from you here. After having listened to many of your podcasts I am still a bit unsure about when best to include fruit into my daily diet. Obviously it is perfect in the morning smoothie, however not all types of fruit go well with a smoothie I find. I know that I should eat fruit away from meals, but at the same time I do not want to snack in between my 3 meals a day. At first I thought fruit would be a good afternoon snack, however, I recently heard an episode where you said you have a juice or smoothie if you snack in the afternoon as it is better to have liquid between meals to make it easier indigestion. I find that I am eating less fruit in order to adhere to all of the above rules, but would like to change this. Would it be best to eat some fruit approx 1 hour before lunch or dinner, or would you have other recommendations? Many thanks!

Audrey: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am a 30 yr. old woman who works out every day early in the morning. Is fasted cardio important to keep the fat off? and does carb cycling work for burning fat? if so, how often should it be done and how many grams of carbs should I be taking on the high carb days? Thanks!
