2537: Don't Hurt Yourself While Helping Others (MM)
While you can set a resolution at any time, I know many of us look for a fresh start and create new goals each January… One thing I caution you on, however, is that I've seen many people set goals to serve a specific mission or help a person or group while in the long run doing harm to themselves… While this may seem noble in the beginning, the resentment and possible physical or mental harm that sets in ultimately does not serve anyone… On today's #CabralConcept 2537, I'd like to go over how not to hurt yourself while helping others, so you can make the most of all this year has to offer - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2537 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2536: Sauna & Breast Implants, Meningococcal Meningitis, Adenomyosis, Acne & Staphylococcus, Chronic Headaches (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… Jessica: Thank you for all you do! I have learned so much about healing myself though your podcast and running your tests as well as doing the functional medicine detox and the heavy metal detox! For my question… I know the benefits of infrared sauna. I have also heard that for women with breast implants it can cause those heavy metals to leak out of them. I was hoping that you could shed some light on this and advise if women with implants should in fact use an infrared sauna? Thank you so much! Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I am curious if you have any experience with long term effects of meningococcal meningitis. I had it when I was an infant and, from what I was told, it was very severe. I am now 28 and struggle with very poor gut motility and overall circulation, causing unbearable constipation/trapped gas and a multitude of of problems in cold weather with my hands and feet. I don't know if there is any connection between these problems and my illness as an infant, but it is really the only major trauma event that could have caused something. I exercise daily, get good sleep, and eat extremely clean. I've tried cutting out nearly every type of food to see if there was a culprit on my plate, but to no avail. I've seen every doctor, ran FM more labs than I can afford, and am still left confused. Danica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was recently diagnosed with adenomyosis. I can't find much in your past podcasts about it, so I was hoping you could talk a little about ideas for natural remedies. The main treatments are hysterectomy and uterine artery embolization, neither of which I want to do. I appreciate you! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, last 2 years I've had painful cystic acne on my upper back, many UTIs, & earlier this year I got impetigo around my mouth at the same time as I was battling hand food mouth. also get athletes foot in winter. Because of these issues, I've been thinking I maybe have a staphylococcus bacteria problem as this seems to be what many functional medicine drs believe can cause cystic acne. Candida metabolic vitamins test didn't seem to show elevated bacterial markers, but showed my vitamin C level at zero. Other labs showed CRP is at 16. I'm 34 & eat well, but stressed with small kids. In 2021, my cortisol was flatlined low all day. My TSH is borderline hyper. Question: 1) what are your thoughts? 2) what type of lab test can I run to specifically check for a staph infection? Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral, I appreciate your time and insight and have enjoyed learning so much from you on these podcasts. My twelve year old son has been having chronic headaches for at least 5 months now. In addition, he had alopecia post C in 2020 (his hair has mostly grown back now however his upper eyelashes are still missing), plus allergies to dust, mold, cats, dogs, grass, and some trees. He is congested with very poor sense of smell all the time. I am beginning to think his headaches are due to sinusitis and possibly that his eyelashes aren't growing back because of the constant inflammation in his eyes. I would appreciate any advice as to how to help him. I have him on Quercitin , Vit. C and nettle tea already. Thank you.

2535: Vertical Heterophoria, Emotional Eating, Collagen & Cartilage, Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Severe Acne, Reduce Sweating (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: Tiffany: Good morning Dr. Cabral. Your information and detox have helped me so much over the past year and I am on a mission to do the best for myself and family that I can. I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria or BVD several years ago. I get terrible anxiety usually while driving and I had a panic attack while going over an extremely high bridge and now I am very anxious whenever I have to drive over bridges. I am usually a very bold person and would not really consider myself anxious, except in these circumstances. Any advice you could give for dealing with this condition? I could not find this topic covered in the podcasts. I do work in front of a computer for 8-10 hours a day but do try to disconnect as soon as I can each evening. Thanks so much for all your great insight. Natalia: Hi Dr. Cabral, could you do a podcast on emotional eating? Thanks a lot Patrick: Hey doc hope all is well. About 6 months ago I tore some cartilage in my elbow ,it only bothers me now if I over do it at the gym doing certain exercise's then it will bother me for a few days. A lot of the things I read said it won't heal itself because there's not enough blood flow there ,what do you think. I just started taking your collagen powder so I will be done it by the time you read this ,how soon does it usually take to see some results thanks so much Michael: Hello Dr.Cabral, I had DVT about 1 1/2 years ago. Went to a hematologist and was told I had APS ( Antiphospholipid Syndrome) a blood clotting disorder. I was told it falls under autoimmune disease. I was told blood thinners (Xarelto 20 mg)would be long term. My question can I reverse this so I don't have to be on blood thinners the rest of my life. 55 years of age eat very healthy exercise 4 to 5 days a week not over wait. Sincerely Michael Rachel: Hello Mr. Cabral. I listen to your podcast on my morning drive and the wealth of information has helped me and my family so much. I've not quite figured this one out yet. My son at 14 started getting severe acne from what seems like an over production of oil. Nothing worked except for Accutane (I didn't know any better) but a year later, it's starting to come back just not severe. He's now 17. My daughter who is 21 started getting the same kind of acne a year and a half ago and nothing is helping her either. What can be causing this? My heart hurts for them. She's in College and it's affecting every aspect of her life. Could this be hereditary? I have not ran any labs because money is an issue. Anything else I could do to help them that's inexpensive? Thanks Janet: Why do i sweat sooo much? Im on medication to help but still haven't noticed any change. I am on antidepressants and anti anxiety medication which is none to increase my sweating but even when i wasnt on them i sweat alot more than normal. Any natural recommendations to help me please!!!!

2529: DMSO & MMS, Safe Pool Water, Acne & Proteolytic Enzymes, Combining Protocols, Donating Plasma, Laxative Everyday (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… Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what your thoughts are on DMSO and MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement), particularly when it comes to taking them for the elimination of things like SIBO, for example, but also for any other purpose? Thanks Melissa: What is the safest water system for an inground pool ? Patrick: Hey doc hope all is well. Huge fan here. I know you did allot of podcasts on proteolytic enzymes but I'm not sure if you mentioned if it would be good to take for acne. I believe you say acne is a result of dirty blood and this enzyme cleans blood so thought this might work good. Thank you for everything you do Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I'm finally on my first FM detox, day 4 & I already feel a bit better, can't wait to see the results after 21 days! And then straight into CBO.. and CBO finisher afterwards.. I wanted to ask when during CBO would be a good time to start with the Heavy Metal Detox, Mold protocol and Ultimate Sleep Help Protocol? Should I wait until the end of CBO or even the Finisher? And when would you recommend my next detox then..? It wouldn't have to be another 21 days, right? After all these protocols my body should be much less toxic? vI would also like to ask if you could do an episode about how to properly brew different teas to get the most benefits.. I'm mostly interested in herbal teas and ginger tea, but I think information about all teas would be beneficial.. Thank you Tonya: Hello Dr Cabral! I have 2 quick questions for you please and thank you! 1. What are the long term effects of donating plasma? 2. Is it okay for people to use exlax every day? (I've seen several moms say their kids with encopresis use ex lax daily and they also say it's safe because it comes from the senna plant.) I also have 2 things you could look into for a review if you'd like, one is the K8 machine (to filter water) ans the other is emf blocking stickers for iPhone and airpods by Waveblock. Take care!
