HouseCall: HCL & Headaches, Fasting-Mimicking Diet & Cancer, Daily Proteolytic Enzymes, Fascia & MCAS, Sneezing

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:

Christine: Been taking HCl pro-zyme roughly 5 years. Been taking various herbs off and on about 6 or 7 years for different worms, parasites, etc. All this with functional doctor. Is it normal to need HCL that long? Sometimes I am bloated even with HCL. How can I move forward to no longer need it? I am eager to try the CBO protocol but doc says I have another parasite so need to deal with that first. Also, for over a year now, I have had a headache every day. Could the Betaine HCL be a cause? Or just the stress of treating for worms/parasites so many years? Have tried to take magnesium more than once but it makes me groggy the entire next day to the point of being unsafe to drive. Looking for your thoughts on both the HCL and the headaches. Headaches in both temples if that helps.

Anonymous: Good day Dr.Cabral, you mentioned once the benefit of fasting-mimicking diet before chemo. Can you elaborate more on that? And also would fasting mimicking diet also work before immunotherapy, checkpoint inhibitor treatment? And what foods would you recommend to “break the fast” with? Thanks! Appreciate your work

Richard: Should proteolytic enzymes be taken daily?

Vanessa: If you can click on this article, is this true??? Is fascia linked to MCAS? https://tryfascial.com/pages/emerging-2026-research-is-pointing-to-a-new-root-cause-of-mcas-symptoms-1?tw_source=ig&tw_adid=120255096626070428&fbclid=PAYm9jbAUgGaNwZG9mAmZkaWQWUO-oNfKF1FO9R9x8dTTJGaXiYkvHX2V4dG4DYWVtATAAYWRpZAGrO1-XnyF8c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPMTI0MDI0NTc0Mjg3NDE0AAGnmhKuUTUddDDJgnGsiHQQHllNw5eZH6KjwnwmrgayJTw_1HRQsYt13ttojBI_aem_Pl6MSo9G7UZcyuW2HenLmA&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid&campaign_id=120254928531450428&ad_id=120255096626070428&utm_id=120254928531450428&utm_content=120255096626070428&utm_term=120255096626080428&utm_campaign=120254928531450428

Tracey: I am a 58 year old woman that is fairly healthy. For the past several years, I have fits of sneezing. I will sneeze at least 10 times in a row before it subsides. I notice that it mostly occurs when I have eaten too much at a meal; however, this is not the only time it happens. It is really annoying. My mother would also sneeze like this, although it was never associated with her meals. What do you think could be causing this? I have read your books and I listen to you every day and appreciate all you have taught me about being healthy.

Thank you for tuning into today’s Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!
