HouseCall: Trigeminal Neuralgia, Hemifacial Spasm, Cellulitis & Mosquitos, External Abscess, Nasal Irritation
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:
Diane: I was wondering if there is anything I can do for Trigeminal neuralgia?
Diane: How do you get rid of hemi facial spasm?
Talitha: Thank you for putting your podcast out there. It’s led me to explore some new approaches to ongoing issues, and some of those new approaches are already working for me. My question: what would you suggest to prevent, or lessen the chances of getting cellulitis from a mosquito bite? Last summer, I started having a bigger reaction to mosquito bites, especially on my upper legs when bit through my clothing. I got large, red and hot circles 3-6 inches in diameter. Twice last year, those bites resulted in cellulitis requiring antibiotics. There are some aggressive mosquitos, and I use a number of ways to keep them away including yard treatments, environmental repellants and a lemon eucalyptus bug spray, but I get some bites anyway. I did the detox and will quarterly. Any other suggestions?
Matthew: Hi, I have asked a question concerning HIV last time. This time, I’d like to ask what I can do about an external anal abscess that came after I contracted syphilis. I don’t know how long I had had the infection for because at the time I didn’t have insurance and my physician (NP) told me he couldn’t do any of my labs unless I paid up front, and at the time I didn’t have the money. Once I found out after my insurance started, he did my regular labs, and stated my immune system continues to fight the HIV I contracted around 11/2021. He referred me to ID which was the same one for the HIV that he referred me too, which I don’t have a good relationship with because they just want to push medications. MY NP listens to me and told me to go to health department which I was given PCN injections.
Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from allergies and congestion for a long time now. I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while and have recently purchased the CBO protocol (for round two) and the mold protocol and am starting those now. With allergy medication I can usually get my sneezing and runny nose under control but I can never seem to get my congestion under control. I have tried GSE spray, Nasacort spray, and neti pot with citricidal drops and all of them irritate my nose like crazy- I sneeze a ton and my nose gets really inflamed and congested. I get really discouraged because I want to breathe through my nose and clear out any yeast or bacterial overgrowth there but can’t put anything in my nose without it getting irritated. Why do you think this is? Any advice?
