HouseCall: Idiopathic Heel Pain, Maintaining Protocol Results, Natural Lubricant, Beta Sleep Stages, Electrolyte Supplements, Anxiety after Virus, Children & Omega-3
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!
Jack: Hi Dr Cabral, I was hoping you could recommend where to start when you feel like you’re at the end. I have idiopathic bilateral heel pain that means I can’t stand for more than 10 minutes without being in agony. Every scan and test I’ve had has come back healthy/normal, other than hormones which I have since optimised to no effect. I’ve had over 300 appointments across the world with every possible type of practitioner in conventional medicine and included 14 surgeries. It has culminated in what my surgeon believes is a world’s first surgery, as well as tibial nerve removal, also to no effect. I am scheduled for amputation but I do not believe I’ve covered much of the holistic world. Where can I go from here? Many thanks, any help is sincerely appreciated. Jack
Ali: Hi Dr! In Nov of 2021 I started working with an IHP for chronic migraines, elevated fasting glucose, weight gain and getting up 2x night to urinate. She had me do 3 week detox, CBO, mold and heavy metals detox. During the CBO protocol I lost the excess weight and finally started getting less migraines, my sugar started to stabilize. Now, 1 year later my weight is up, my fasting sugar is above 100 getting headaches and I’m still getting up 2x at night to urinate. I follow a 90/10 rule with diet, yoga 3xweek, walk 3 miles everyday, meditate. I take DNS, mg, c, b complex, omega, zinc daily. What am I missing?
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral What is the best natural or clean ingredient lube? I’ve heard of coconut oil. Do you recommend this or any other brands/ingredients? Also curious to get your take on the new Oura beta staging. I’m seeing drastic differences of 2 or more hours for my deep sleep, for example. Curious if you have a take on any of the research they’ve released and why this looks so different from my past results.
Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral! You recommend natural Gatorade (sea salt and lemon / lime juice in water) to replenish electrolytes. Do you recommend an additional electrolyte supplement for athletes or do you instead recommend they drink additional servings of natural Gatorade? What should we look for and what should we avoid if looking for a “premade” electrolyte supplement (such as Nuun, ConcenTrace, LMNT, or Re-Lyte)? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!
Christina: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I got covid in April 2022. It was very mild and I recovered within 3 days. Then I started experiencing general anxiety and panic attacks. It’s been 8 months of hell. If I had to do some tests which would be the most important ones? Is there anytime I can do in the meantime while waiting for the tests and results to help. Thanks so much
Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I tried giving your liquid omega 3 to my 15 month old and she absolutely would not take it. I mixed it in smoothie, oatmeal, other foods etc and it totally changes the taste of food. Any advice on how I can get her to take it? She used to love salmon and now not a fan of it and I’m worried she is not getting adequate omega 3’s. I’ve tried Nordic Naturals omega 3 gummies and she won’t take those either. Thanks so much
