His BP was 284/165 his last trip to ER. He gets dialysis. He eat relatively good for a 65 year old. He eats lots of fruit and veggies. He likes beef , chicken an pork. He's not overweight, small belly. Sorry just wanted you to have as much info to make possible suggestions. Every since he started dialysis and years before , his uncontrolled BP in return gave him ckd, an now ESRD . He feels so wiped-out afterwards and gets cramps in back legs and feet. Maybe something revitalizing a little and replenishing him? And maybe electrolyte products or shakes of your line. Love the podcast . So incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon your podcast ! Kenzie: My boyfriend is getting his deviated septum fixed. They want him on antibiotics because it's a surgery. Any tips for supporting the gut during? Any thoughts on this surgery? Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral, my 12-year-old son has been suffering from post-concussive syndrome since May 2022. He has had daily pounding headaches, accompanied sometimes by nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating etc. I had to withdraw him from school and his mood is very low and he cries a lot which is not normal for him. My heart is breaking as I don't know how to help him. We've seen the chiropractor, Osteopath, function Medicine practitioner, naturopath had acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, massage and tried so many different things such as essential oils, food eliminations, high dose Omega 3, magnesium, homeopathic remedies. His sleep is poor and he is not himself in so many ways. I feel like this nightmare will never end. What am I missing? Please give me hope that this will get better. Leora: My 22 month old son has been diagnosed with Severe Congenital Neutropenia with a mutation of the ELANE gene. We are currently investigating whether it is cyclic or not. Is there anything natural I can do to boost his neutrophils level? Moreover, he has chronic ear infections. Every time he has a virus he gets an ear infection. Of course the doctors always want him on antibiotics but I have found that onion juice works well to clear up the ear infection. However, is there anything I can do to prevent the ear infection occuring in the first place? His doctor believes it is caused by a fluid buildup that doesn't release due to the architecture of his ear. Kenzie: Hello! Any tips for cutting down emf when living in apartment? I can't shut off my wifi. And obviously I live next to above and under other apartments.

2592: Low Copper, Low Body Temperature, Amalgam Filling Dangers, BHRT Cautions, Tonsil & Adenoid Removal (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… Anonymous: What are the signs and symptoms of low copper? Anonymous: Hey doc, love the show and all you do! On a few different episodes, I've heard you use some form of the phrase "if you didn't have it as a kid" to indicate that some toxicity or imbalance occurred at some point during the course of life to cause a symptom. My question is regarding low body temperature, which I've heard you say is a sign of a sluggish metabolism. My body temperature has actually always been between 97-97.5 degrees, even as a baby, so I was wondering if you knew of anything that could cause this from birth? (As opposed to something that was triggered by lifestyle, environmental exposure, etc. since this abnormality was present from birth) Hailey: Hi, I have been gradually making changes with guidance of the rain barrel effect, and am scheduled with a SAFE dentist to have one amalgam filling removed next month, however, after seeing my brother in law (who is a dentist), I am having some paused based on this information he shared with me regarding the discrediting and license provoking of Hal Huggins. My brother in law claims you would have to have 3x the amount of teeth in your mouth all covered in amalgam to experience the effects of any mercury leakage. Of course I would ideally still have it removed as I still don't want this material in my body, but given I am in the middle of PA school and it is quite expensive, postponing is appealing to me. Just wondering if you have any clarifying advice to offer? Thank you! Pamela: Hi Dr Cabral! I really enjoy your podcast and want to thank you for all the wonderful information I've learned from you. My question is about bio identical hormone replacement therapy. I'm a post menopausal woman (57 yrs old) and recently started to see a ND to optimize my health. On my intake form, the ND saw that when I menstruated, I had painful periods and heavy bleeding. I also had many years of fertility issues.The ND also mentioned to me that BHRT would help to protect against breast cancer and it would also allow me to have a deeper better sleep. I presently am able to fall asleep no problem but often wake at around 4-4:30 am and have difficulty going back to sleep. I'm unsure about taking BHRT and would appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you again! Eric: When I was younger my parents got my tonsils and agnoids removed because I was snoring a large amount. Are there any long term effects to that? Anything I can do to help it?

2591: Stress & Digestive Issues, Spinach & Kidney Stones, Child Awake at Night, High Alkaline Phosphate Levels, Loss of Smell (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: Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I perhaps have the stump Cabral of the day. (I know this will be 12+ weeks until answered and that's ok) A little context for me (chronic constipation, leaky gut, and bacterial overgrowth, tons of gas and bloating) I did the FM detox followed by the CBO Protocol with Mastic Gum (because of C.Diff) and the Citricidal Drops followed by the CBO finisher. (I followed it all to a tee) It helped some but definitely did not fix the issues. 5 1/2 years of this now. I've been working with your team and they've been very helpful, but I think everyone is out of answers of what to do next. I know it is stressed based (been doing sauna, relaxation exercises, bineural beats, etc) Where do I go from here? P.S. perhaps ileocecal valve dysfunction? Thank you! Gary Maria: Is it true that kale and spinach cause kidneys stones. Alexandra: Hi, first I'd like to say thank you. I've worked with one of your health coaches and the results are truly amazing. I am writing to you today at our daughter. Our 2.5 year old had split nights (up for 2-3 hours and just can't sleep. Mostly calm) at around 18 months old and lasted almost 8 weeks straight. We thought it was a sleep pressure thing and did all the things to try to fix it, but in the end we had to just ride it out and we think it was developmental. The split nights have now started back up. My husband and I both work and with having a 5 month old, split nights with our 2.5 year old are extremely exhausting. She had the flu and we did have to give her Motrin to keep her comfortable. I usually let her ride out the fevers, but she was miserable. Anyway, looking for help ! Thanks Geoff: Hi Dr. Cabral! Have you had any experience with high alkaline phosphate levels? My levels have been above the normal range (as high as 156, currently 135) since May of 2022. I'm 44, active, and in good shape, 5'10" 152 lbs. I'm sure I'm leaving out vital background info, sorry! I started TRT (cypionate injections after about 10 years of taking Clomid) around the same time as the high readings of the alkaline phosphate. Would that have anything to do with it? My PCP sent me to have an ultrasound that looked at my kidneys, liver, and gall bladder which came back normal. His suggestion is to keep an eye on it, but I'd prefer to take action if there is anything I can do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you do! You are a real beacon of light for all of us! Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm a Registered Dietitian currently going through your IHP Levels 1 and 2. It's been a great learning experience so far and I am very thankful. I had the virus back in November 2020 (the OG virus) and my main symptom was loss of smell along with a severe headache between my eyes and above my nose. Over the past 2+ years, my smell has slowly returned but is not nearly the same as it was prior to losing it. Most people I know had a return of smell after a few weeks. I'm not too sure why I have it so severe.
