HouseCall:
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!
Frank: I am a 68 year old male who lifts weights 4-5 days a week and does cardio exercise minimum 5 days a week. I am asymptomatic and my CAC score was 3189 and LPA 221. APOB 85. I was put on Plavix, baby aspirin and just started Repatha Injections, I couldn’t handle Rouvastatin due to severe muscle spasms. I haven’t fell so good in 20 years. I wanted to try your Proteolytic Enzymes due to the Nattokinase feature. I’ve read great things about Nattokinase lowering plaque buildup. I hope you can respond to this question, I listen to your podcast daily. You are to the point and honest, hard to find these days. Thank you Doc!
Anonymous: I live in Central Florida. Dengue Fever cases are on the rise! What are natural ways to repel mosquitoes? And if contracted, how can a person help their immune system recover faster? Thanks for all you do!!! (From a long time listener)
Nicole: What products would you recommend for face wash and face lotion for a 13 yr old asking to wear. Is the one skin you recommend safe for them to use? Thank you!
Anonymous: Hi, where would you start for low blood pressure? Ive been experiencing strings of low BP since January and the latest has lasted the longest (2 months). I’ve had blood tests, a brain MRI, heart monitoring/echocradiogram. My team doesn’t have a good next step for me. I had surgery in January but I can’t imagine that is still driving disregulation. I’m wondering about Botox but would love any suggestions. Thanks for all you do
Sheena: Hey Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. Quick question, Im 46 yo and in good health. Already on foundational 3 daily but would like to start take other ‘preventative’ supplements as well. I know your thoughts on nattokinase and serrapeptase but what about aged garlic? I understand they don’t all work the same way but do help in the cardiovascular system. Can I take aged garlic along with the proteolytic enzymes? Also, I take an iron pill w/ vitamin C first thing in the am to boost my ferritin levels, can I take iron with the proteolytics as well? I don’t want any to cancel each other out. what are your thoughts? thanks so much in advance!
Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
