    3418: Bone Spurs & Neck Strength, Double Vision, Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators, Root Canal vs. Implants, Supplements & Healthy Thyroid (HouseCall)
    Jun 15 2025
    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… Lina: Hi Dr. Cabral, My neck has been feeling very fatigue for the past months. My spinal X-ray revealed a mild C5-6 disc space narrowing with endplate osteophyte formation. I am applying castor oil onto this area daily as I believe it help disintegrate bone spurs. Can you please provide guidance on what more I can do to break up these bone spurs and strengthen that area of my neck? Besides neck exercises which I am doing, are there any dietary suggestions or supplementation that would help. I am very grateful for all you do for us in this community. With much thanks, Lina Heather: Hello Dr. Cabral! I am a 47-year-old woman who has been experiencing double vision upon waking that usually lasts until around 11 AM, It does not happen every day but has been happening for a year and a half. It also happens when I have alcohol. I went to my optometrist and he said everything looked good, I went to my PCP and he wanted to run labs. No red flags, so he wanted to do an MRI on my brain. I decided to run the big five labs instead and found out I was low on all the B vitamins, had SIBO & Candida. I did The 21 day detox, completed the CBO protocol and will be starting a heavy metal detox next week. As of writing this I still am experiencing the double vision intermittently. Thank you! Thomas: Thanks for all your work. It has been a very helpful resource for my family and I as we continue to improve our health. My question is about SPMs (specialized pro-resolving mediators). Can you speak about their efficacy or the lack thereof and whether you've personally used them or use them in your practice? Michelle: Hi! Thank you for your show, I’ve learned so much from listening to your podcast! I’m just wondering your thoughts on a dental procedure. After my last dentist appointment I was told I needed two root canals or if I wanted to spend a little more I could have two implants. My question is, which one is safer? I’ve heard root canals can cause problems like low grade infections lasting a long time but I haven’t heard anyone talk about any bad side affects from implants. Thank you for all you do. Michelle Savannah: Hypothyroidism runs in my family both my mom and dad have it and both my grandmothers had it. I was diagnosed in my early 20’s but I haven’t been on medicine since having my son in 2023 and was wondering what’s the best protocol of supplements and foods to help keep the thyroid healthy or heal it if possible. Thanks!

    3417: Deceptive Marketing & Processed Food, Heat Intolerance & Sauna, Detox & Viruses, Bone Growth, How to Use a Binder (HouseCall)
    Jun 14 2025
    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: Patrick: Hey doc. This question is for my mom. She’s in her mid 70s and right now just about all her meals are processed food. Her breakfast and lunch are usually French toast sticks and waffles. She believes she’s getting her nutrition from that because of the marketing and labels saying how much protein and vitamins are in them. Her dinners are about the same being a frozen dinner with a few vegetables in it . Can you just go over how it’s all marketing and this isn’t healthy at all. I look forward to your answer so I can listen to it with her. Thanks for all you do Susan: Thanks for all you do. Love your podcasts. My question, you talk a lot about sauna/sweating/detox. I have a real intolerance for heat, It's been really noticeable the last few years. I was never much of a sweater even playing a lot of tennis. I'm more likely to overheat, turn all shades of color, but rarely do I actually drip sweat. On rare occasions, tolerate a infrared sauna, but I usually can't wait to get out of there. Years ago, I did a genetic test and there were indications that I don't detox well. Wonder if thats involved. Also, I have crohns and had a subtotal colectomy just over 6 years ago. It has definitely been worse the last 5 years for sure. I'm a 65 year old female. Can a sauna actually ever be not a good thing to do? Gut health may never be great. Ann: Quick question, i realize I won't get the answer this time, but I'll be ready for the next time. When you have a virus, coughing, sinus, headaches...... is that a good time to start a 7 day detox? would the detox help get rid of the virus faster? And if so, is it wise to stop the protocol you are on at the time and just do the detox? Ann: In November while watching a play I felt a stinging sensation and pain and hotness and swelling on my right hand. I could see a small puncture hole and figured something bit me. I kept checking my throat to make sure it was nothing serious. I took a benedryl the next few nights then forgot about it. Months later I asked my dr to check it had an xray which showed a bone not attached to anything. Doesnt hurt but now its seems to be getting bigger. Its off to the right of my pinky knuckle. Is it possible that my body calcified the poison from the bite or turned into a bone? its crazy! What are your thoughts? leave it? remove it? wish i could insert the xray for you to see. Thanks for listening, I always appreciate your advice. Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- I've heard you mention various ways to use both the Universal Binder and the Daily Digestive Enzymes outside of a detox or specific protocols. Can you give us a list of other ways to use them and the dosing (for example how to use the Universal Binder if you think you ate something that isn't agreeing with you, or before a flex meal).

    3415: The New Science of Becoming Resilient to Stress (TT)
    Jun 12 2025

    We all face stress—but how we respond to it makes all the difference.

    Stress can build us up, strengthening our body and immune system… or it can break us down, leading to anxiety, muscle loss, weakened immunity, and faster aging.

    The good news? Our body comes equipped with a natural defense system against stress—and when we support it properly, we can boost our resilience, calm the mind, and protect our long-term health.

    Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3415 as we explore the latest science on how to become more stress-resilient, naturally. Enjoy the episode and let me know what you think!

    3411: Full Body Flushing Sensation, Arthritis in Elbow, Water Measurements & Filter, Piezogenic Papules on Feet, Skin Doesn’t Tan (HouseCall)
    Jun 8 2025
    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… Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was hoping you could help me find out what happened to me this morning. While getting ready for work, I felt a prickly heat sensation on my scalp that spread to my face and arms, which turned bright red—like a sunburn, but not raised. It then moved to my legs, and the prickling became so uncomfortable I had to take off my pants. The redness lasted about 30 min, slowly faded and back to normal in 90 minutes. Afterward, I felt cold and started shivering. I’d had my usual breakfast, nothing out of the ordinary. Just for background: I’m a 47-year-old woman, healthy and active, with regular periods and mild hypothyroidism that I manage with diet and supplements. I’m not on any meds or hormones. Thanks so much in advance! John: Hey doc . Hope all is well. Im 50 years old and have some arthritis and nerve pain in my elbow probably from overuse between work hitting the gym and being a weekend warrior . Would like to know your recommendations I do take your dns and detox every 3 months thanks Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. We don’t have a water filter yet. I am curious on your thoughts on the range measured of our water in 2024. Hardness measured in °dH 9,3-15. Iron mg/l <0.01 – 0.35 limit value is 0,2. Manganese mg/l <0.002 limit value 0,05. Nitrate mg/l 1 – 44 limit value 50. Arsenic µg/l <0.03 – 2.1 limit value 5. Nickel µg/l <0.03 – 10 limit value 20. 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM) µg/l <0.01 - 0.016 limit value 0,1. Desphenyl-chloridazon (DPC) µg/l <0.01 – 0.087 limit value 0.1. BTW what do you think of a Quooker? Just the part heating water not all the other things it can.Thanks for your thoughts and time :-) Sarah: Hello! I have a few questions which I'll ask in separate questions. I have ‘Piezogenic papules' on the inside of both feet, I've had them ever since I was a child. I'm reading online that they are from being overweight although I never have been. I've tried to dry brush and massage them, I walk alot and exercise but nothing seems to help. Is there anything I can do to remove them and are they a cause for concern? Huge thanks!! Sarah: Hello again! My next question is about tanning from the sun. I'm very pale and can't seem to ever take a tan on my legs specifically, they are painfully white. They will only go red and then a few dark freckles will appear. My upper body is similar although it will turn a bit of a nicer colour. Both of my parents can take a tan so I'm curious why both me and my sister can't. I've heard taking a high dose of Astaxanthin aswell as beta c can help. Do you have thoughts on this? I don't want to do anything unsafe or harmful although the colour or my skin does get me down.
