Check out today’s questions:
Ryan: Hi Dr Cabral, I love your podcast , and your equilife products too! My question is for father . He has ESRD because of untreated hypertension. His BP was 284/165 his last trip to ER. He gets dialysis. He eat relatively good for a 65 year old. He eats lots of fruit and veggies. He likes beef , chicken an pork. He’s not overweight, small belly. Sorry just wanted you to have as much info to make possible suggestions. Every since he started dialysis and years before , his uncontrolled BP in return gave him ckd, an now ESRD . He feels so wiped-out afterwards and gets cramps in back legs and feet. Maybe something revitalizing a little and replenishing him? And maybe electrolyte products or shakes of your line. Love the podcast . So incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon your podcast !
Kenzie: My boyfriend is getting his deviated septum fixed. They want him on antibiotics because it’s a surgery. Any tips for supporting the gut during? Any thoughts on this surgery?
Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral, my 12-year-old son has been suffering from post-concussive syndrome since May 2022. He has had daily pounding headaches, accompanied sometimes by nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating etc. I had to withdraw him from school and his mood is very low and he cries a lot which is not normal for him. My heart is breaking as I don’t know how to help him. We’ve seen the chiropractor, Osteopath, function Medicine practitioner, naturopath had acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, massage and tried so many different things such as essential oils, food eliminations, high dose Omega 3, magnesium, homeopathic remedies. His sleep is poor and he is not himself in so many ways. I feel like this nightmare will never end. What am I missing? Please give me hope that this will get better.
Leora: My 22 month old son has been diagnosed with Severe Congenital Neutropenia with a mutation of the ELANE gene. We are currently investigating whether it is cyclic or not. Is there anything natural I can do to boost his neutrophils level? Moreover, he has chronic ear infections. Every time he has a virus he gets an ear infection. Of course the doctors always want him on antibiotics but I have found that onion juice works well to clear up the ear infection. However, is there anything I can do to prevent the ear infection occuring in the first place? His doctor believes it is caused by a fluid buildup that doesn’t release due to the architecture of his ear.
Kenzie: Hello! Any tips for cutting down emf when living in apartment? I can’t shut off my wifi. And obviously I live next to above and under other apartments.
