1703: Trichotillomania, HRT for Men, Methotrexate for RA, Fasted Blood Sugar, Wine on CBO Protocol, Thomas Rau, Float Tanks & Float Therapy (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…

Let's get started!

Kayla: My 9 year old son has been anxious and possibly dealing with depression post covid 19. I have noticed that he has started to pull out his hair (Trichotillomania), I was wondering if you can recommend any natural supplements for anti-depressants for anxiety, depression, and adhd? Thank you.

Dar: Hey Dr. Cabral. Hope all is all well with you and your family. I am well aware there's no silver bullet and aging is an inevitable natural process but for men 40+ is there anything they can take to maintain/increase muscle mass, fitness gains, sex drive, performance without resorting to HRT? Maybe it's vanity but I knew what I was capable of naturally, the physique and performances are slowly regressing. I am an otherwise healthy person, I use your supps, follow your men's guide to fitness and they're really good and I'm forever grateful but I see some of my peers on HRT who look better than and claim they're performing better than they were in their 20's. I don't want to go that far because I don't know future side effects. Are there any at all? Anyway, keep up great work.

Nicole: Can you start the CBO protocol while taking methotrexate for RA? My mom takes SQ injection 1x per week. She has never tested positive for RA markers but has been sick for couple years now and no doctors could find the answers so they say she has the s/s of RA. Her s/s are severe joint pain and swelling in right wrist, fatigue, frequent diarrhea, brain fog, acne, random rashes/skin issues that come and go, anxiety/depression, body aches and just never feels good. She used to have horrible allergies/sinus infections almost year round that have improved since she changed her diet. She tries to eat paleo but does cheat and feels sick when she does. She mainly cheats on sweats because she craves sugar. This all started after 2 unexpected tragic losses in her life followed by a clostridium difficile infection. She received antibiotics for this and many for prior sinus infections. She is retired on fixed income and can't afford testing but hoping she can start a protocol. Where would you start? Doctor also has her on magnesium citrate should she continue this during protocal.Thank you for sharing your gift with others!

Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I notice when I wake up in the morning, my blood sugar often ranges from 83-110 which I heard is not optimal. I know you mentioned 16+hour fasts are not right for everyone. I am a 37yo female, lean, mostly vata / pitta, who has low progesterone. When I tested with your team, my A1C was right at the borderline around 5.6. Do you recommend fasting until my blood sugar goes below 80 or breaking the fast even when my blood sugar is elevated?

Lorena: I'm so frustrated Dr Cabral! I did the CBO Protocol after finding some yeast in the OAT and after completing it, I did another OAT 3 weeks later to check that it was gone. The OAT results were even worse! It showed more yeast and now even Clostridia markers that I didn't have before! How is that even possible? When I finished the CBO I went to Greece and yes, was having one glass of wine every night and a lot of Greek salads which as you probably know, involves a lot of onion. I don't know if that was the issue or what happened but I was very strict when following the CBO. What do I do now? Do I do it again? I really cannot believe this…

Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Thank you for this podcast, it is so informative & amazing, helps so much and also we can learn a lot about health and healthy living.. I cannot go a day without it!My question today is about Swiss biological medicine and dr. Thomas Rau.. I finally started working with a nutritionist who is a certified Paracelsus health practitioner and she uses his protocols and knowledge.. are you familiar with his work considering he is one of the leading biological medicine people in Europe? I would love to know your opinion on his work and protocols (which can be similar to what you preach) and maybe you could invite him to be on your podcast on a Thursday talks with Cabral? :)Thank you for all your answers and hard work, love to all,Lara

Darren: Hey, good day Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on float tanks/float therapy and sensory deprivation tanks? Are the supposed benefits real or not? Keep up great work
