HouseCall:
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:
Ed: Hi Dr Cabral, For those of us males over 40 years of age, who have prostate enlargement, apart from saw palmetto, do you recommend or know of any Chinese medicine or Chinese herbs that help treat this condition better than saw palmetto or western medicine? Is it possible to shrink the prostate back to normal size with these herbs, in combination with a healthy diet of whole based foods? Thank you for your guidance in advance. Ed
PS. Is it true that Red Maca root reduces prostate size, as it did in rats, in one study
Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. I listen to your podcasts daily and I have learned so much. What are your thoughts on Electrical Muscle Stimulation? Where they use electrodes to contract muscles at a rapid rate to get the effects of a longer workout in minutes. I would love to hear your insight on if you think this is beneficial and would recommend it. Thank you Greg
Ed: Dear Dr Cabral, Thanks for the great information and help you are providing people out there. I have been dealing with dandruff since childhood and now I’m in my 40’s and still struggle with it. Both my mother and brother don’t have dandruff, but my father and grand mother on my mother’s side also struggled with it. Does that mean its genetic? Though using Head and Shoulders shampoo helps, I hate using it because of the vast chemicals it has. I get build up on my scalp, if I don’t use some kind of anti-dandruff shampoo. I have tried to limit sugars and processed foods, but dandruff and build up still occurs, though at a slower rate. Are there vitamins/minerals to help prevent dandruff from re-occurring or is it genetic? Thank you for your time and help. Ed
Ed: Hi Dr Cabral, I came across your great and helpful information from mind-pump podcasts. Thank you. Does DIM power help reduce prostate size, like Saw Palmetto? My elderly mother has osteoporosis, is it true that Maca root helps with this condition as well? Thanks in advance. Ed
Lara: Hi, dr. C! I have a question about vegan Omega3 oil.. It contains 609mg EPA and 1158mg of DHA and 157mg of DPA.. is that a good ratio for a vegan Omega oil? We were checking the ratio of EQUILIFE’s (non-vegan) and there’s more EPA than DHA.. but they also contain sunflower oil? How come? Thank you for your amazing work, hope you and your family are well..
