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:

Christina: Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for all you do for our community. My question is about oral health and specifically the use of the 360 one-piece toothbrushes that take 30 seconds to clean the teeth (I.e. Autobrush). Do you think they are as effective as the sonic electric toothbrushes and what is your opinion on them? Additionally, one can choose the fluoride free toothpaste versions, but they require a foaming agent to work. I like the fact that these toothbrushes require less time overall and seem to clean all the teeth, but am a little concerned about the foaming toothpaste that are required for them to wok. Thank you!

Barbara: What is the 12,000 FU that you referred to in your post.

Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm trying to figure out if I should take your berberine or daily gluco support. Can you please explain the difference, and which one might be better for a 56-year-old female that does struggle to keep weight off and balance blood sugar. I'm not diabetic but I watch it closely. Thank you!

Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 37-year-old female diagnosed with JAK2-positive essential thrombocythemia five years ago. My diagnosis followed after an initial finding of iron deficiency. It was confirmed through a bone biopsy. I have recently started following your show and am focused on finding the root cause. I would like to avoid progressing to chemotherapy medications if at all possible. To manage inflammation and support detoxification, I maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, exercise at least five days a week, use a sauna, and take various supplements. My biggest symptom with this disease is fatigue. Could you point me in the right direction of finding the root cause and help lowering my platelet count? Thank you! Alex

Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, I went into an adrenal crisis in 2023 and was diagnosed with Primary Addison disease and hashimotos. I also have undifferentiated connective tissue disease. I take steroids and thyroid mediation, and also work with an N.D. for recurring EBV, h pylori, and candida. I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies drastically and have hope to eventually go into remission, but my question is, is it possible to heal or go into remission with Primary Addison disease and not be dependent on steroids? Or is it true that with primary Addison disease, the adrenals are "toast?" Though I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies, the 21-hydroxlase Addison antibody is still present. Would love any tips or suggestions. Thank you!!
