HouseCall: Embedded Infections, Surgery Complications & Gut Health, Acid Reflux While Sleeping, Linear Morphea, Glucose Revolution, Melatonin “Extra” Ingredients
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:
Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral, love your work! Two questions for you. I have been experience chronic pain and other symptoms in my vaginal/bladder area. I have taken lots of rounds of antibiotics with no relief. First question, from research there are a couple doctors treating what they call embedded infections, where the bacteria is not detectable on a culture because it has embedded itself in the bladder wall-they treat this with years of antibiotics. What are your thoughts on that? Second question, I do always culture strep b in my bladder-despite taking several rounds that “should” have treated it. I’m sure it’s colonized in my bladder and not just a contaminated catch-because it always cultures it and by this point I’ve perfected the clean mid stream catch. I have ordered the stool sample test and waiting on that now. What I’m wondering is will be CBO protocol address the strep b in my bladder and vaginal area, and will it help with yeast or bacteria overgrowth in my vagina. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Eric: Hello Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding my mother in law. She had the sleeve weight loss procedure, now years later from complications she is having her entire stomach cut out leaving her with around 5%. Her gut health is HORRIFIC, my question is can she do a CBO or parasite protocol with 5% of a stomach? She will have an extremely restricted diet in quantity, obviously, but also in what she can eat. Thanks so much for all you do!
Morgan: Hey Dr Cabral, I am having a Re occurring issue when sleeping where I fall asleep and wake up 1-2 hours later automatically with intense acid reflux and can’t get through the feeling and back to sleep. What do you recommend on getting through this or eliminating certain foods or adding certain ones. Thank you! Morgan
Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your incredible work, I felt so alone on my health journey before I found your story. I was wondering if you’ve ever worked with someone with linear morphoea – I have morphoea en coup de sabre diagnosed by a dermatologist when I was around 14. He gave me topical steroids and it lightened up the area and seemed to make it more narrow, and it’s been years since I’ve used the cream. I was wondering if you’ve ever seen it completely reversed? I’ve been working to heal my gut the last 2 years, I’ve done the CBO and Parasite Protocols, I was just wondering if there’s anything else I should be looking into? I was a C section baby and was prescribed antibiotics for many years for sinus infections every winter (fellow east coaster). I also took ibuprofen every day of second grade for headaches. I believe my triggering events in 2016 were an infection and the terminal diagnosis of my mother with liver cirrhosis. It was a painful and very stressful 5 more years before she passed away. I have been working very hard to heal and appreciate any advice you have!
Jenna: Have you read the book called Glucose Revolution yet? It’s pretty new and the author Jesse Inchauspe has been interviewed on dozens of health podcasts. I’m reading the book now and find it fascinating and was wondering if you would consider doing a book review on it.
Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was checking the ingredients of your liquid melatonin and am confused.. If I saw these ingredients in a supplement here in a pharmacy I would choose not to take it.. It contains xantham gum which you said is not good? I’m not sure about potassium sorbate..? I usually stay away from products with citric acid..? And is this a natural organic stevia extract? Thank you for clarifying, have a great day
