Check out today's questions:

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm an IHP Level 1 and have been following you for over 2 years. I'm grateful for all you do. I'm a 61 year old male and take no medication. I've always had elevated cholesterol but it's come down a lot over the last 2 years. I now have LDL of 108. My CRP is in the normal range at 0.41. My homocysteine is also in the normal range at 8.9. My coronary calcium score from almost 3 years ago is 129. I want to make sure my heart stays healthy and want to be smart about what supplements to take apart from the foundational ones like the DNS and Omega 3. If I take all the supplements that promote a healthy heart, it gets a bit expensive and I was wondering if you thought about formulating one supplement to combine some of them. I'm currently taking D3+K2, Red Yeast Rice, Berberine and Inflamma Soothe, and I'm considering adding in Proteolytic Enzymes. What are your thoughts on which ones to prioritize? Lily: Hi Doc, I am taking the foundational supplements and magnesium. I know that everyone is different and the personal approach is best (I just ordered your new book). But, if you had to say, beyond the foundational supplements, what are your next 4 favorite supplements? Tommy: Hi Dr C, I'm An IHP 2. I've come a long way with my health and career thanks to you. I've had many issues in life similar to you. In the last 2 years I feel like I've become very prone to gut issues. I've done 2 para and 1 CBO in the last year. I seem to get bouts of dhiarrea like I've picked up a bacteria. I have wondered if my stomach acid is low, being an online presence is stressful, but I'm working on my stress more than ever. What else could cause me to have a 'weak stomHawkins: ach'? I still get anal itching too, sometimes during the day, I know you've mentioned this could also be histamines and not just parasites. I've had so much trauma, antibiotics, and 14 years of steroid creams. I've had low cortisol too which I believe is much better now. Scott: Hi Stephen. (Scott UK) . My wife had a routine operation (9 operations in total) and ended up with stomach problems diagnosed with gastroparesis, well that's what they said, she ended up with a feeding tube and an ileostomy, in the last couple of years she's really turn thing around she's back to solid food and she hasn't fed on her feeding tube for 9 to 10 months now, she's gaining weight and looking really healthy, she's 53 and going through menopause, she's been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and trigger finger in both hands, and both thumbs are now stuck straight, she takes half of a scoop of DNS and greens powder, D3k2. magnesium, zinc, omega 3, infrared sauna, red light, 7000 steps, they want to operate on both hands,which I'd like to avoid, any suggestions would be very helpful. Stephanie: Hi! I had a full work up done and it showed my prolactin level is 95. CRP also elevated, but everything else within range. I am willing to go see an endocrinologist, but I am hesistant to take the cabergoline (I've read that's likely how they will proceed). Is there anything else I can do? I started taking Vitex Berry when I got the results. 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! - - -
