Marilyn: In listening to your podcast about healing and sealing Leaky gut/SIBO, what is the name of the Lactobacillus strain that you suggest to start with? I can’t quite understand what you said. I have been diagnosed with Leaky gut and possible SIBO but my functional doctor is wanting me to start with Probiotics and I get upper stomach pain from them.

Sandra: hi Dr. Cabral, love your work and I just finished the limited yeast protocol for high candida that came up on my big 5. I reintroduced all foods except for eggs. My migraines did not stop, and I want them gone – it makes me so hopeful that you say they do have a cure. My rain barrel must have filled up back in 2008 when painful migraines and hair loss/thinning started, and both have continued since. I am just fully looking into it after finding your work. For the last 6 years the migraines are mostly only in the nerves behind the eyes (eyes are healthy, no changes over time either) and mainly around the same time as my period, lasting 2-3 days. For 2 cycles, during the protocols, the migraine came a week after my period, that was the only change. I am working with a health coach and now focusing on heavy metal detox – mercury levels at 0.132. What else should I focus on? I think they are hormonal… and wonder if hair thinning can also be tied to hormones.

Emily: Hi Dr. Stephen, I really appreciate your guidance and advice. My just turned 8 year old son has been critically ill many times. He has severe brittle asthma, severe mucus plugging (has required high flow oxygen many times) and is highly allergic to many things, including being anaphylactic to antibiotics. I had a healthy pregnancy & he was born just after his due date, all natural birth & breast fed till he was over 12 months old. His siblings have no allergies or lung issues. He is currently undergoing allergy injections (2 injections every 4 weeks) for his rye grass, dust mites, moulds, and olive tree pollen allergies, we are 18months into this treatment which is set to continue for 3years. So far we have had no noticeable improvement from the injections. We have a farm in the South East of South Australia. He enjoys being active outside with his siblings and friends when he can. I am searching for help and advice. I am searching for answers as to why this is happening & what can be done to really help his lungs to strengthen & heal. I am struggling to get answers as to what is causing it all, from his specialists. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Kindest regards, Emily

Adele: Hello I am a 65 year old female, 5’2″, 104, very active (walk, light weigh lifting (3-5 pounds), cycle classes, other gym classes. I suffer from daily chronic migraines. It is debilitating many days. After trying numerous preventive drugs – I now take “Memantine”(as of 3 months ago) which is for dementia patients – it is working fairly well right now.. Side effects are dizziness, low energy, head buzzing, etc. I plan to begin HRT again soon. should I? Other options for post menapausal issues? I have had 2 annual infusions of RECLAST past 2 summers. Osteoperosis same after that. They want me to take a 3rd infusion. Other issues are: severe osteoperosis, macular degeneration, neck and back pains. Supplements: (organic?) Vitamin D3 10,000IU, Calcium, Vitamin K, Magnesium, Fish Oil, I eat a fairly healthy diet – I ordered the 21 day Detox, food sensitivity test, Complete minerals and metals test. Any other recommendations? What is too much Vitamin D?

Alicja: Dr. Cabral, I need your wisdom again. I started checking my blood sugar and noticed it is always high. My glucose level first thing in the morning is always above 100 (between 105-115) I can’t get it below 100, no matter how long I go without food. After eating it’s between 130-180 depending what I ate. I listened to your older podcast and applied all 3 things you talked about. I eat 3 meals per day (3-4 house apart) I tried fasted jogging in the morning and I typically do intermittent fasting. glucose level is always above 100. I also noticed that if I go over 3h without food, the glucose level often rises up comparing to what was 2-3 h after meal. Do you think it’s because not eating is too much stress on my body? I’m not typical candidate for diabetes. I’m tall and skinny, vata body type. I’m underweight (BMI below 16) I’m not sure if I have to give up carbs? Also does all that mean I’m insulin resistant? Or that I don’t produce enough insulin? Thank you again for your help. Your big fan. Alicja
