Q&A

• What are the key ingredients in Advanced Cell Force and their benefits?

  Advanced Cell Force contains creatine monohydrate for energy, citrulline malate for nitric oxide and circulation, trimethylglycine for inflammation and methylation, and taurine for detoxification and the central nervous system.

• What causes inflammation markers like lactoferrin and calprotectin to be high in a stool test?

  High inflammation markers can indicate various issues including food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, or improper bile and stomach acid flow, suggesting an inflamed digestive tract that needs further investigation.

• Why might beneficial bacteria not colonize as effectively as pathogenic bacteria in the gut?

  Inflammation in the gut can create a low-oxygen environment, hindering beneficial bacteria. Additionally, bile films can form, inhibiting good bacteria and allowing harmful ones to thrive, leading to an imbalanced microbiome.

• What is the recommended approach for a two-year-old with eczema and new allergies?

  For children under three, an elimination diet focusing on gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs, nuts, and seeds for three weeks is recommended. Supplementation with Omega-3 fish oil and Vitamin D3 may also be beneficial.

• Is it advisable to start TRT for low testosterone without addressing the root cause?

  No, it's generally not advisable. TRT can mask underlying issues like stress, poor sleep, or nutrient deficiencies that cause low testosterone. Identifying and addressing these root causes is crucial for long-term health.

• Is adding salt to water for hydration always beneficial?

  Not necessarily. While some individuals, particularly those with low blood pressure or an ectomorph body type, benefit from electrolytes, others with higher blood pressure may not need added salt. Personalized hydration strategies are key.

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…

 

Bob: Toke the Bacteria and Parasites Stool Test, show very high Inflammation markers, Lactoferrin 200 µg/mL < 7.3 Calprotectin 1534 µg/g < 80 Lysozyme* 3810 ng/mL ≤ 500 I stop all supplement except DNS before the test and continue for over a month, by The time I got the results I went from watery diarrhea to a more formed stool, less urgency and went from 10 bowel movements to 3- 5 daily. With no bowel movements after 11:30 am until early next day. What are your thoughts? Thank you for all you do! 

 

 

Allen: Dear Dr. Cabral: One bout of food poisoning completely destroyed my microbiome, and now I have to take probiotics for the rest of my life just to feel normal. How come beneficial bacteria don't seem to colonize and thrive as well as pathogenic bacteria? You would think that the probiotics would eventually restore the microbiome — especially over a period of years — but they never do. I always hear that they're transient and can only help you as long as you keep taking them. Why is that? Thank you. 

 

 

Jasmine: Hi there, thanks so much for providing this option to ask questions directly to you! My son is almost 2 and has dealt with eczema since about 16 MO, has a reaction to peanut butter that causes it to worsen, the sun, heat, and water (of any sort but especially pools/chlorine) in the summer really flare it up. He is now having early spring allergies to the pollen for the first time. Would you give me a detailed layout of what you would do if he was your child? Testing/supps/protocols etc. I really want to resolve this for him and get his immune system functioning at his best! Thank you so much for all you provide-I completely fixed my gut through your protocols about 10 years back and haven't looked back!! 

 

 

Chelsie: Hi Dr Cabral, My husband was told by his DR. he had low Testosterone and was put on TRT about a year ago at about a 1.5 mil a week. He usually takes the full dose one time a week which I feel REALLY fluctuates his hormones and doesn't seem healthy. Through learning things through my own health journey I am worried about his does being so high. He is 6 foot 4, 280lbs and built like a NFL line backer but his Dr. seems to be fine with it as long as he is feeling good. I worry about the long term effects this might have on him the rest of his life. Is it possible to get him off of synthetic TRT and get his natural test up on it's own? 

 

 

Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I've adhered to your Himalayanor or celtic salt with lime/lemon or ACV with water on mornings. And adding a bit of salt to larger water bottles given active job and training. However, I saw Dr Jason Fung, kidney specialist, on Twitter saying "you drink a lot of water, you will pee it out. That's what your kidneys do (speaking as a kidney specialist). I drink plain water (yes, without salt) almost every day of my life, as did virtually all humans for the last, say, million years. No, I am not worried about 'dehydrating' myself by drinking water. ". This was in response to someone recommending adding salt to water in morning as plain water w/o electrolytes can dilute sodium levels and make hydration worse. Is Dr. Fung right or??
