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:

Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx

Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones. Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?

Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?

Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you

Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!
