Check out today’s questions:
Anonymous: Hello! I heard you mention going back to see what has worked in the past. For my acne, growing up I was put on antibiotic “zpacks” 1x a month some years. I was also on 2 separate rounds of Accutane. Both of these “treatments’ works while taking them. After I was off the antibiotic or when Accutane was done, acne came back. My question is the antibiotic and Accutane did different things, so how do i know what is really causing my acne today. today it is on my back, neck, and face, sporadic. worst with a period but really it’s all the time. I also ALWAYS break out after a workout, is my sweat dirty? I am healthy and do detoxes a lot. thank you for your advice!
J: Hi Dr Cabral, (Food Sensitivity Question) Thank you for teaching us to take control of our health, research, test and make change. I am working on it but would appreciate some insight from you. I did a food sensitivity test and came back high for the below foods. Someone suggested to me these are histamine based, but I am low for all other histamine based foods. Avoiding yeast is tricky as it is in so many things. I am plant-based and gluten-free but to now have to exclude yeast, corn and peas is tricky! Pea protein is in all protein powders! And this was always a staple in my morning routine. My primary symptom is chronic pain. Would you recommend I avoid all these foods for 3mths? I also did HTMA which was high for Hg – which I am removing and said I was a slow oxidizer (if this info helps). I take B12, Mg, Selenium, Zinc, Vit B. Elevated Foods (>30 U/ml) Brazil Nut 112 Pea 75 Ginkgo 72 Oyster 64 Egg White 58 Yeast (Brewers) 58 Cola Nut 54 Milk (Cow) 51 Barley 48 Bean 47 Pistachio 47 Wheat 47 Corn 42 Yeast (Bakers) 42 Agar Agar 38 Caesin 38 Flax Seed 30 Plum 30 Thank you – I will keep listening.

Chirag: Hi Dr. Cabral. I live in New Delhi, India. As of November, 2017, we’re living in completely hazardous environment with air quality completely deteriorated now! What can I do to make sure that me and my family are healthy and our bodies completely detoxify those harmful air chemicals!
Lauren: Hi, I have had some stomach issues in the past..for the most part, I will get stomach pains whenever I eat somewhat unhealthy or off the course of what I typically eat. I get severe lower abdominal pains but not always. I am interested in overall wellness and I wanted to see where you typically tell your clients to start? Does it make sense to get the organic acid test? I also want to do the food allergy testing as I feel it may be wheat. Also, do you recommend hair/mineral testing or stool? I am not sure where to start. Also, I live in NY would it make sense to do everything via phone, etc.? Thanks so much!!
Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a female with low estrogen and high testosterone levels. I was wondering if you had recommendations on foods or supplements to balance out my estrogen. Many thanks!
