HouseCall: Healthy Gut Alternative, Adding More Healthy Calories, Candida & Mold Program, Tattoo Detoxing, Ankylosing Spondylitis

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!

Bec: Hi Dr Cabral,Firstly I just want to say thank you for absolutely everything that you do to help others. You are amazing and I love your positive and high vibe approach to health and nutrition! My question is… I’ve already done the CBO and am about to repeat it in order to fully remove the candida and bacteria. I tried the heal and seal for 2 months but unfortunately was getting a histamine reaction and so had to stop. Is there another product I can take to help seal up the gut wall? I’m taking 5g of l glutamine and am already on extra zinc. I was hoping there might be another product I could use that would have all the necessary ingredients rather than trying to source them all separately. Thank you so much

Bec: Hi again Dr C, Just have another question. As I mentioned I’m going to do the CBO again shortly (doing parasite cleanse first). I’m very underweight and know from my OATS test (I did the big 5 tests) that I have high oxalates. I also seem to react to lectins and high FODMAP foods- so a very leaky gut all round! I’m worried that by following the sensitive gut diet strictly for 3 weeks, then it is likely I will lose even more weight. I tried upping my starchy carbs last time but unfortunately that caused a lot more bloating. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much

Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am extremely grateful for all of the knowledge you share and you have given me the tools to ensure that my family lives much healthier lives. I know that you have spoken about Lyme before and won’t have time to explain all of it in a podcast, but I am desperate for help. I would love to have some kind of protocol to follow for not only getting rid of any co-infections, but truly healing from the aftermath. You said that healing the aftermath can be done in as little as a few months time, and this information would be invaluable to me as I am barely functioning and react to most foods and supplements. I believe I have already gotten rid of any co-infections since viruses, bacteria, and pathogens don’t show up on my GI Effects stool test. I was also exposed to mold and am wondering which order to detox in. Mold test was pretty low (ochratoxin A 18.09 ng/g creatinine / Myocophenolic Acid 7.59 / Citrinin <10), but I wonder if the exposure is still affecting me. I have already been healing my gut for 18 months, (most recent sIga in my adrenal test was in “normal” range). I have done the CBO protocol, although I am HIGHLY reactive to many supplement ingredients, that I had to modify it (ingredients such as stevia, camomile, and more cause me to have severe vertigo, head, and face pain). Since I have already done CBO twice, after escaping the mold, should I do the Mold Detox first, then work on the Lyme aftermath? I have already been tested for heavy metals, GI Effects, Candida, bacterial overgrowth, and basically all other specialized tests. They all come back clear, which is why I know I need to move onto treating the aftermath of Lyme. How can I do this if I react to pretty much every supplement and food? I would absolutely follow a step by step guide for this! My Functional Doctor and Naturopath just keep telling me to heal my gut, support my adrenals, and cortisol, but it hasn’t addressed the root cause. They have basically given up on me. Please help!

Rya: Hi Dr Cabral! I just listened to podcast 436. One of the topics in this podcast is the dangers of tattoo ink. I have a large color tattoo on my arm, and ever since I got it done 2.5 years ago, my health has drastically declined. I have done a heavy metals test, which showed only slightly heightened lead, and nothing else noteworthy. I would LOVE to do the Dr Cabral Detox, but my head feels like it is blowing up any time I ingest stevia leaf, even the organic, pure kind. What alternatives can I use and what else can I do? I read that tattoo ink can also dye our lymph nodes. How can I detox as much of it out of my body, detox my lymph nodes and everything else that needs to be done? I tried bentonite clay masks on the tattoo for months with no results. I have been using milk thistle, dandelion root, l-glutamine, and NAC for a few years and my health seems to get worse every month. I also go to the sauna, exercise, and don’t eat any processed foods.Thank you for your support and knowledge that you share!

Mike: Dr. Cabral. I first want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your generosity is boundless. Have you ever covered ankylosing spondylitis in a podcast? I searched, but did not have any luck. My 25 year son has been “diagnosed” with it. I would love to hear your viewpoint on this dis-ease. What tests would you recommend to discover the possible underlying causes. Is there a specific dietary restrictions or supplements that would be beneficial? Thank you so much! You are THE MAN!

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!
