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…

Justin: Hi, my girlfriend has been having vaginal pain for a few months and was recently diagnosed with Ureaplasma. She thought it was BV or a uti and took your advice for treating these with boric acid and acidophilus which seemed to help but definitely only temporarily. She took tests for bv/uti back negative for both. Doctors want to prescribe antibiotics for Ureaplasma and for some reason believe strongly that natural remedies won’t work for this. Do you have experience working with this and what is the rate of success you’ve seen with natural treatment? What treatment? Do any of your tests cover Ureaplasma?

Aaron: Hello Dr. Cabral! Can you explain some of the behind the scenes for how vitamins and minerals are made? We just read "Fateful Harvest" which explains how toxic waste is repurposed as fertilizer because it's unregulated, and thought about supplements also being unmonitored by the FDA. Where do methylated B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, etc come from? How do you ensure that there isn't also lead, arsenic, cadmium, berylium, etc when you have these companies manufacture your supplements? I appreciate the efforts you take to help us with health and look forward to more info!

Anonymous: I recently found out I’m officially post menopausal but it’s interesting I’ve had no symptoms other than no periods since last august. My GYN said since I’m so focused on avoiding hormone disrupters and endocrine inhibitors that could be part of it. Since having a stroke from birth control in 2004 I’ve been on a journey to eliminate them from my foods, household goods and personal care and beauty products which was why I was thrilled to see Beautycounter on your resources website page. I love their deodorant, make up, personal care and skincare! Do you have any other recommendations for a 45 year old post menopause for supplements and aging healthily? Thank you dr. Cabral

Suzan: Hi doctor Cabral, I am a big fan of organic peanut butter and eat it 3-4 times a week. However, a friend recently told me that almost 100% of peanut butter contains aflatoxin, a carcinogen produced by mold. This news has me a bit worried, so I wanted to reach out to you to see if you have any insights. You are the health expert that I trust the most, so wanted to run this by you before I freak out :) Thanks so much! Suzan
