Check out today's questions: 

 

Bryce: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m a newer listener but have spent all year trying to reverse my plethora of health issues. I’m sick of spending thousands of dollars on supplements and tests and going down different rabbit holes. But I’ve seen all the specialists, done functional meds, lots of labs and still have not seen any resolve. My main issues being nail psoriasis (the worst any doctor has seen) and lots of bloat and digestive issues. I can give you more detail but think my issues are nervous system and autoimmune based as I have type one diabetes and lymphocytic colitis as well. I’m only 29 and getting married soon and just hoping to get my body better aligned with how I treat it. I eat super healthy, weightlift, but cannot lose the bloat and need to feel better soon. Help please!      

 

                                                                                              

Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all that you and your team do - I can't express enough how much you have changed my life and my clients. I have a question regarding nerve pain, my husband has TOS and we are persueing everything we can nutritionally/orthopedically. Could you provide us an update on your experience with red light - the Joov specifically? Are there any other passive modalities that you know clinically impact nerve pain that can be done from home? For context heath/cold/palpation all make the nerve pain much more prominent.        

 

                                                                   

Jess: Hi and thank you for all you do! Ever since Covid and Moderna I have a sun allergy. It took me 6 months to get over Covid 4 years ago, I’m 95% better other than my skin. It seems Moderna is well-linked to first time PLME. How can I fix this? I’ve laid out in the sun all of my life and now I can’t do 10 minutes without a rash.     

 

 

Larissa: Hello! I have some questions about parasites for beginners. I’ve done the GI map stool test that was negative for parasites. However, I have many symptoms consistent with parasitic infections and hear that most tests are not accurate. Do you have a test you recommend for parasites in the gut? Is there a different test to check for parasitic infections in the brain? As far as treatment, I did food sensitivity tests and have significant intolerance to wormwood. Can you recommend an alternative? Is it worth treating if there is high suspicion or should you confirm with testing? I’m an adult but I have the same questions for toddlers. Thank you so much!
