Check out today's questions:
Lauren: Dr Cabral,Please help! My 4 & 1/2 year old daughter has just recently developed body odour, some darker hairgrowth on her top lip & legs, a random long hair in the middle of her forehead, and she now has perioral eczema. I am concerned the hair growth may be signs of early hormonal changes, although I should mention she is half maltese, so unsure how much genetics plays a part in the hair growth.Before all this she had a rough chicken skin since a baby, and almost constant bloating, both of which have cleared up since completing the childrens parasite protocol, CBO with mastic gum and is almost finished the heal and seal. Now this eczema on her face makes me think I may need to do some testing on her gut.Previous to these protocols she tested high IgG for egg and moderately to another 16 foods. I have not retested these as yet. She eats very well, lots of wholefoods, almost completely organic, gluten free and the only dairy we have is butter.I am looking for advice on where to go from here, as I am very worried about what is going on in her little body. I am an IHP and student naturopath, but never imagined I'd be practicing on my own children already, and this makes me nervous as they are such precious little souls! Would love your thoughts.
Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for what you do and I love listening to the Cabral Concept first thing when I wake up. I don't miss one episode! My dad is 73 and has recently done a scan which showed a significant loss in bone density. He cannot walk more than 20m because he feels a lot of pain. I hate seeing him like this and the doctor said that there's nothing he can do but take very strong painkillers. I know that there isn't really anything he can do because the bone mass is gone but is there anything that he can at least to reduce the pain?
Natalie: What exactly is hydroxychloroquine and is it safe? If it is effective at preventing the virus, what are the possible downsides? Will it be an effective solution to the pandemic long-term?
Patrick: Hi Dr. Cabral hope all is well. I'm 46 and feel like I'm in the best shape and best health since finding your podcast a few years ago. My question is about speed and endurance I play competitive hockey 2 days a week but feel like I'm losing that extra boost of speed and energy when I need it . I do go to the gym 3 days a week for about 30 min of strength training upper and lower body so I don't feel it's a strength issue. I'm hoping to keep playing sports and be competitive for a long time . Thank you for all you do
Ken: Hey Dr. Stephen Cabral. What are your thoughts on frozen collagen peptides? Being a supplement junkie I recently purchased frozen collagen peptides having an amount of 9000 mg each pill with 3000 mg L-Glutathione, also. I know collagen are great for the body as well as glutathione but what are your thoughts particularly on collagen peptides and L-glutathione forms? Thank you for all the value you provide.
Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral. About two years ago I started a very strict regiment where I was doing a ketogenic diet, daily intermittent fasting and daily steady state cardio. This initially had me feeling the best I've ever felt in my life both mentally and physically. Unfortunately the results were short lived and after about a 8 months I started experiencing significant digestive issues, loss of sex drive, as well as depression and anxiety. This coupled with some stressful life events had me feeling like I just didn't have any gas in the tank. I had my testosterone level checked and it was very low at 198. I began seeing a functional medicine doctor who found I was in phase 3 HPA axis dysfunction with very low DHEA levels, I had SIBO, and a magnesium and potassium deficiencies. I've heard you say that this is a very predictable way in which the body breaks down on a ketogenic diet. After following my doctors supplementation regiment for about 5 months, going back to a normal diet and reducing exercise I feel so much better and my symptoms have for the most part resolved. What I can't get back to is the feeling of vitality I initially felt on the ketogenic diet. Do you have any insight into why this made me feel so good and how I can get that feeling back. Thanks -Dan

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
