912: Intestinal Issues, Sick for 5 Years, Infant Supplements, Non-Toxic Furniture, Contact Lens Solution, Maintenance Diet, Parasite Test, Alternating Arthritis (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!

Janine: Dear (team) Stephen, First if all i would like to dat that i absolutely love your podcast, very inspiring!! I have a question about the 21 Detox: I live in the Netherlands, So it is not possible for me to order the 'all nutricion proteinpowder'. What can I choose instead of the poeder to make my morning shake with? (So I get the protein en vitamins that are in the poeder). Thank you in regard for answering. With kind regards, Janine van wijck

Deanna: Hi there, I've been dealing with intestinal issues since 2010. I eat relatively healthy, drink lots of water and exercise. I've tried diets/pills but it never seems to be the answer to my problems. I drink a herbal tea every night in order to have a bowel movement in the morning. I don't have extreme symptoms, I have occasional gas and bloating but I am always constipated and usually very irritatable. I feel I may have a bacterial overgrowth. I'd like to finally get to the bottom of this and heal my gut, balance my gut and get to living a life that does not revolve around my gut issues. Could you please help me with this. I am willing to do whatever it takes. Thank you. Deanna Doherty

Linda: Your site was recommended (from friends) that got their health improved over three months. I have been sick for over 5 years double over with stomach and intestinal pain, bowels vary from diarrhea, severe gas, upper reflex, constipation, bleching, my rectum is always burning. I have many test and the results were negative, I was told to take nexium 2x a day for the rest of my life, I am not on any regular medication due to the high cost. I took myself off of the stomach pills because there is little results, I just stopped Gabepentin, migraine medication. I suffer with asthma. I am so frustrated and with no medical insurance I don't know were to find help. The last 5 years I have noticed my tigger foods any thing in onion family, garlic, black pepper, sugar, nutmeg are a few that give me extreme pain. My question is how can I narrow my search to what will help, I started a program in September protein shakes and have lost over 50 pounds but I am still very over weight. I also have autoimmune disease since 1995. Thank you Linda

Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! I give my 2 1/2 year old 1/4 scoop of your DNC in her morning smoothie, 1/4 teaspoon of your DFV plus I was giving her Klaire Lab Infant probiotic still but I just ran out. Not sure if that was the best for her infant to 2 years, but it's what had been recommended to me. Can I give her a portion of your Daily Probiotic at this point in time? As far as boosting immune system before traveling via airplanes I always would give her elderberry, extra probiotic and I'd sprinkle camucamu on top of that concoction. Is Camucamu still a good choice or could I give her a portion of the Full Spectrum Vitamin C? She is about 23 pounds. Thank you for all you do!!

Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am almost through your Rain Barrel Effect book - it is absolutely incredible and very practical for everyone as a foundation. I'm curious about your take on furniture - couches and beds without flame retardants, they are hard to find. We got ourselves an Intellibed when I was pregnant because it doesn't have flame retardants - they use silica thread to serve that purpose. We got my daughter a Naturpedic mattress. We got a couch at a boutique place where it was refurbished and no chemicals. Just thought I'd check in and see your mattress / pillow recommendations. I know you gave a great bamboo sheet recommendation. In gratitude!! Thank you for all you do!!

Donna: Greetings Dr. Cabral, I have three options of daily contact lenses I'm looking at and would love your advice on the following;1. Acuvue Moist contacts in a solution of 58% H2O in buffered saline with povidone. 2. Bio True contacts in a solution of 78% water immersed in a solution of borate buffered saline. 3. Aqua Comfort Plus in a solution of 31% nelfilcon A, 69% water, in buffered saline containing PEG and HPMC. The saline may contain up to 0.05% Poloxamer. Also, are contacts safe to wear out in the sun or does the sunshine effect the material of the contacts like heat does to plastic bottles? Thank You for sharing all of your knowledge, experience, and advice on so many topics relating to health and nutrition. Respectfully, Donna

Danelle: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to a ton of podcasts and yours is my favorite. I'd love to know what kind of diet you follow. Maybe you could tell us what you normally eat in a day? Much gratitude to you, Danelle

Zhang: Greeting Dr Cabral. I have a question about the parasite test you use. I've heard from another functional medicine practitioner (Evan Brand) that the GI-Map genetic based stool test is the best stool test on the market. I am wondering why you feel Biohealth's is superior to GI Map's stool test? Thank-you

Ann Marie: Hi there! New listener, my daughter turned me onto you and so happy to have found you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a 67 year old woman, my question is how do you know if you have arthritis? I have had pain for about 6 months that started in the hip, then moved to shoulder and now back. It seems the pain is moving around my body. At its worst, it is at a 8/10. I have been taking Ibuprofen for pain but obviously don't want to take that everyday. What can I do? I know I can clean up my diet a bit so what should I absolutely stay away from? All the best and thank you so much!
