HouseCall: Bariatric Surgery, Detox Trial & Error, Nerve Impingement, Pinworms, Dizzy Spells, Silicone Baking Mats

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!

Jamie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do! I would like to ask you about how to be healthy after bariatric surgery. I had the gastric sleeve on March 1st 2019 and found your podcast later that same month. Had I found you earlier I likely would NOT have had the surgery. However, I believe things happen for a reason so maybe this is my path. Now, my question is I can’t eat as much at one serving and so I get hungry faster/need more meals throughout the day and I am also worried I’m not getting enough nutrition. I am starting the 21 detox then I will go into the CBO protocol and finally heal & seal. I have been drinking the DNS smoothie every morning for about 4 months. What advice can you give me & others like me to be very healthy after bariatric surgery. Thanks!

Sahsa: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for the wisdom you share with the community everyday. I know that I need to start detoxes, but there is something in the daily nutritional support shakes that is exacerbating headaches. I’ve tried it on 2 separate occasions 4 months apart, and both times my headaches began. It makes me nervous to use it or any of the detox pills. I’m able to use some of your other products like the balanced zinc and sinus support without any issues. How would you suggest doing a detox without the shakes or the detox capsules? Thanks for all you do.

Laura: I am a healthy, active 31 year old female recently diagnosed with a schwannoma or neurofibroma tumor, 3cm big, under my right collar bone near my brachial plexus, likely nerve C6 or C7. Surgery to have it removed is Dec 2. I’ve had shoulder/arm pain in certain yoga postures for the past year and could never figure out where it was coming from until a failed lymph node biopsy pointed the doctors in the right direction. For the past year, I’ve easily tolerated the minimal nerve pain, but ever since the biopsy a month ago, I’ve been in moderate pain and haven’t been able to do yoga. I’m very worried about permanent nerve damage from this – since they aggressively poked a nerve that they thought was a lymph node. Is that possible? Is there anything you can recommend that will help? Seeing as how you will likely see this after my Dec 2 surgery, do you have any tips on recovery from nerve surgery? Not being able to do yoga (I practice Bikram yoga daily) brings my anxiety and depression back in full swing. Thank you for all you do!!

Nicole: Hello, I have a question I didn’t want to ask on the Facebook group as my daughter would be so horrified if anyone knew. So I have a 15 year old daughter who for most of her life has really struggled with pinworms . We can seem to get a handle on them. We use the combantrin and do the second and even have done third doses. They seem to come back. Yes we have done all the things, washing, nails short, washed bedding everyday even for a week. Clean room top to bottom.. all the things.What can we do for her? I don’t love putting all this medication into her . Please keep in mind asking her to eat super clean or zero sugar is prob not going to happen, again she’s a teen . But any ideas ??? Thank you Nicole

Rachaell: The past 8 months or so I’ve been getting dizzy for what seems like only seconds at a time but it comes and goes all day long. It feels like everything stops and I’m going to pass out then it passes until the next time. My dr thinks it’s anxiety and isn’t concerned since I’ve never actually passed out. I’m only 28, female, and want to find a solution to this because it’s extremely hard to go about my day feeling like this. Where do I even start?

Shae: Are silicone baking mats safe? I have been using Unbleached parchment paper but want to cut down on trash. I also don’t want to go back to cooking on foil or plain metal baking sheets.

Cheryl: Can I naturally dissolve a Lipoma on my back without surgery? It’s the size of a half-dollar , and I have tried taking chickweed orally for 2 months with no results. I would appreciate any advice you can give. Thank You
