Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

Check out today's questions:

Lara: Hi, dr. C, hope you and your family are well.. I saw some recipes for date seed coffee.. is it healthy to grind date seeds and make “coffee” out of them? Secondly, I was checking your resources and haven’t found what you recommend for baking powder.. which are the acceptable ingredients? Which ones should we watch out for? Also, which ingredients to make a blend of gluten free flour? They usually contain xantan gum and tapioca starch or flour.. is cassava flour ok? What else? It would be so helpful if you did a list of foods and ingredients that are ok/not ok.. Thank you for being such an amazing encyclopaedia of information.. you are an amazing soul..

Samantha: Hi doctor Cabral, I love eating very spicy food, but sometimes it can leave my esophagus and throat feeling raw and irritated for days. And now I'm worried about a claim I heard that eating too much spicy food can increase the risk of stomach cancer due to the acid reflux. What are your about this? Thanks so much, I really appreciate you

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently had hernia surgery where they repaired 4 hernias in my abdomen and placed a mesh panel from my sternum down to my bellybutton to prevent future hernias. I was under general anesthesia for three hours and was on pain medication including Advil for two weeks. After surgery I’m having extreme stomach and intestinal pain after I eat. It is not tied to any specific food that I eat and it does not happen at every meal. I am wondering if the Advil or other pain medication could have affected my gut and what you suggest to heal. I completed the full CBO protocol right before surgery and did not have this pain before. Any information or advice that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Marica: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you please come up with a C-vid VX Detox? I am almost 100% sure that the vx is what caused my Graves disease. Thanks so much! Regards,

Lisa: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for generously sharing your expertise! You have helped me immensely on my journey back from chronic fatigue & pain! I find myself at 60 years old with a "Mega-stomach" and "Mega-colon", I'm assuming from constipation that I was unaware of due to daily bowel movements. Though I weigh about 113 pounds at 5'-2" I look as if I am 6 months pregnant. This distention is not from bloat, but is a "permanent" distention. Or is it? I never feel full which is frustrating. I also have LIMO (Lower Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth) which tends to make me constipated, though I am able to manage this with supplements. I've done all of the relevant Equilife protocols and detoxes, but can't afford the CBO Protocol again. Please share what you can.
