Cameron: Hi dr Cabral. I've been an avid listener to your podcasts for many years, and especially loved your episodes on ayurvedic doshas (I'm a classic Vata), so thank you for all that you do, you're a huge positive in this world. My question is around the vagus nerve and its role in skin health. I've had a GI map done to find very low gut flora levels, but otherwise fairly normal gut function, so I'm looking to stress as my primary issue. My skin gives me constant low level stress that seems to feed itself and create the itch scratch cycle I can't break. Antihistamines help, but I know there's a fire I need to put out. I've tried biologics and now on a jak inhibitor that I don't want to stay on, but I want to fix the cause, not just the symptoms. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks, Cam
Vanessa: Have you heard of the gut Zoom test (and talk abt it)? Has there ever been a patient that you couldn't help? / that did not get better, that you couldn't figure out? Explain this or your most complex patient where their health issues didn't come from the obvious (obviously no name). What's your stance on baking soda (daily..&can it lead to too much acid or too little)? You say omega 3's are important but now there's new studies saying in supplements it's rancid? Would you say that adhd is 'just' a symptom of an overdriven nervous system , or dopamine type disorder? When u say take supplements at dinner, do u mean before or after? What do u do about plastic water bottles? What water filtration system do u use and what do u keep it in, do u drink a gallon a day? Also autism and toxicity?!?
Yvonne: I have restless legs which initially went away with magnesium but now it's back. I have started taking ferrous gluconate but no improvement yet - perhaps it needs several months? Dr. wants to prescribe Pramipexole but I don't like taking pharmaceuticals due to side effects - any natural solution for this?
Thomas: Hello, In 2024 I had a endocrine tumor cancerous in my tail of my pancreas part of the middle. I had half my pancreas removed and spleen because id was stage 3. In the lipnodes that share blood supply with the spleen. They thought it was safer to remove it just in case there was hidden cells in the spleen. They removed everything. I can MRI SCANS every 6 months. ITS BEEN CLEAN. I ordered the nutritional support and proteolytoc enzymes. I had sibo Candida by testing at my intergrative Dr. My pancreas wasn't making enough enzymes to break down food. I had testing too for this. I use to get a lot of acid reflux. Once I started Zenpep helped Enzymes broke down the food much better and cut acid out. I know Nac and glutathione could be bad to take even if cancer removed what do you think?
Katie: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for all your help and expertise! I am curious if you have suggestions on replacements for birthday celebrations when it comes to having dessert. Is there anything your family has found that works or recipe ideas? It's difficult to know how to stay healthy besides just abstaining when there is a birthday celebration. Thanks in advance!
