HouseCall: Fish Allergy, Longest Fast, NAC Timing, Liver Cleansing, Runny Nose at Night

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:

Dar: Used to have a ton of serious allergies as a kid outgrew them all almost except being allergic to salmon and tilapia. Also if I have too much dairy or wheat/gluten I get congested but I try to limit them these days.Do you know why you would be allergic to one type of fish but not another? I can have all the spicy tuna rolls I want and I fell good. It has always seemed odd to me if I ever have salmon my eyes start to swell a little and my throat is itchy and possibly swells a little as well. Thanks for all your advice appreciate all of it! Stay blessed.

D: What has been your longest dry and/or wet fast?I personally have tried two day juice and water fasts and felt great after, however I tried a 36 hour dry fast once and three days later suffered from bells palsy luckily was able to recover 100 percent pretty quickly thankfully. Some people have permanent issues. After that experience I tell everyone I can to never dry fast, I got caught up into the hype after the juice and water fasts something that is easy to do in this say and age after watching a youtube video or reading a blog about how great something is for someone else.

Erin: I have read that you should take supplemental NAC away from meals because the cysteine competes with other proteins for uptake and is thus not as well absorbed when taken with food. However, taking NAC without food causes acid reflux for me. I typically do not get acid reflux otherwise. Is there anything specific about NAC that would cause acid reflux? Is it true that NAC should be taken away from foods for best effect?

Laura: Hi, I have hashimotos, chronic ebv, anemia, allergies, dairy, egg and gluten intolerances, etc. I’ve been getting acupuncture lately and they keep saying I have a liver deficiency. I want to do your liver cleanse. Is that the same thing as the 7 day detox? I also listen and love the podcast. Thanks! Laura

Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I wake up nearly night about 4am with sneezing and running nose/sinues not sure why this is. I dont go to sleep with a runny nose.I do have high histamines but havent had any high histamine foods recently. The oat test did show high oxalates and salicylates not sure if this is contributing? Any thoughts? My oat also did not show any mold markers but i have had mold where i live. Many thanks joanna
